>when your local watch shop don't sell any SARBs
>>53673888
though SARBs aren't really "Japan only", anymore, I don't think many places short of a seiko boutique would carry them in a brick and mortar store
Post what's on your wrist today.
Every time you post that abomination
>>53674368
I'm going to post this abomination, it's more tasteful

Looks good, but dat shit battery life.
>>53672609
Does it come in gold too?
>>53673888
They sell other than Skagen/Fossil/Emporio where you live?
In France if you want good watches its online or nothing, even Casio is rare.
>tfw the second and minute hand of my Seiko 5 military just came loose for no apparent reason.
luckally they offered to repair them for free, still have to pay shipping costs to send it to the nearest repair shop.
So I'm wearing my ol 1973 Citizen 9038 still runs like a gem, eventhough the springs of the flyback mechanism are not what they used to be
>>53675345
In finland every mall-grade jewellery store has a tiny selection of seiko and shit like fossil, and Raymond Weil since russians seem to buy them.
>4 Jewellers within a reasonable distance from my house
>Between them they sell every not dog-shit tier watch available
>except Orient
Might be able to convince one of the nearer stores to look into becoming an Orient Dealer, as the owner is a friend of the family..Would be useful rather than waiting 2 weeks for any Orient I buy to be shipped out from Long Island..
>>53675510
Convince one of them to start selling Vostoks.
>>53675566
Pretty sure one of them does have a few used Vostoks, from a cursory glance, they're all in pretty rough shape. I think people would even have a hard time selling them on eBay as "Spares and repairs"
>>53675589
He could get a couple of new Dirskies and Amphibia's.
A watchmaker i know over here, who usually works only on slav mechanical watches, had a few for sale and he said they were sold rather quickly since people were tired of overpriced chinkshit&Casios and even further overpriced Swiss watches. (Mind you, large slav populous here in kikeland)
>>53675633
I could try, but honestly, business seems to be going well for him on the Watch front, he owns the only shop that sells Seiko's in the area, and everyone I see come into the place I work who has a watch, will 80% of the time be a Seiko 5. So with the limited size of his property, I think it would be difficult to convince him of even looking into Orient. Though when I was getting my bracelet adjusted there, he did mention how nice my Marshall looked for being a Quartz. I was quick enough to mention it was mechanical, he seemed fair surprised that an automatic was as thin as my Marshall is..So might be able to get some traction.

My local watch shop does Citizen, very limited range of Rolex (just submariner / seamasters), Omega, Seiko (Brightz, 5, terrorwrist F-91s & few others), G-shock, Orient & a few other fashion ""watches"" la.
>>53675672
No harm in trying.

There are more then a million here (Including myself), out of a population of 8 million.

Guess so.
Next time I intended on heading down was to grab an SARX015. But that might be a while yet.
>>53675806
What country?
>>53675917
I was considering a SARX015 too, just sold like 3 of my watches and got about 330~
But i'm having trouble to choose which watch do i want, from my current list of watches i've been eyeing.

Israel, it was mentioned earlier.
And before you're asking how so, mass immigration from the former USSR during the 1990's and early 2000's
The paint on the tip of the minute chronograph came off the day I got it ten years ago. Pretty much impossible to see unless you look very close.
It bothers me to this day
Needs a new bracelet
>>53676445
>>53676485
Shit taste.
>>53676615
What? Here in central Japan virtually every watch shop has at least a case full of Orients (always at full MSRP, of course) and places like Bic and Yodobashi carry most of the whole range, often with prices comparable to Japamazon. Neo70s, Tristars, World Stage, Orient Stars, Classics, tons of Disk variants, etc
>>53676718
Take and post pics
>>53676485
How about these?
>>53676739
Next time I go down to Nagoya I'll try and snap a pic of the Orient counter at Bic. In the meantime here's my JDM Neo70's chrono. Nice watch for the price but the stock bracelet pulled my hair far too much.
I rotated the picture already so if it posts sideways it's 4chan's fault
>>53676805
Why do the japs love 70's designs so much?
>>53675345
>In France if you want good watches its online or nothing, even Casio is rare.
Stop living in a shithole, any decent store has at least a basic selection of Seikos, Tissot is everywhere, and Paris has stores for literally every brand, even dogshit ones.

What is it? Can you post a head on pic?
Hey ausfags, where do you buy from?
>>53676926
Socially and culturally they're stuck in the past and all the politicians are old farts and their cronies who think life needs to be as it was in the Showa period and somehow today's degenerate youth are responsible for the economic bubble collapsing. If we hadn't glassed them and subsequently rebuilt and modernized their country for free it'd still be like the 1800's here.
That aside, the 70's were a glorious time for watch design. Sunburst dials, faceted crystals, high quality quartz, and much more adventurous designs.
>>53677200
>That aside, the 70's were a glorious time for watch design. Sunburst dials, faceted crystals, high quality quartz, and much more adventurous designs.
Disgusting. The 70's were awful for design as a whole.

Speak for yourself, proud Axix member here.
You're delusional, they were already a modern country, they just had a different culture than yours. But I know this is something a Burger can't comprehend.
>>53677429
Bait me harder, it's impossible to know from the outside how backwards this country is without living here a few years. Wheels weren't even in common usage here until a couple centuries ago and even through the Meiji restoration the state of civil technology was totally primitive. What do you expect from a country with limited resources that completely isolated itself from the world? Dejima was the only place in the whole country where modern science and technology could flow in. One port open only to the Dutch. Without that connection they wouldn't have even had firearms when the rest of the world was happily shooting each other.
>>53677545
And to continue that notion, those firearms gave the leverage needed to finally unify the country. Without them it would have continued (possibly even for centuries, given the relative stagnancy of culture and technology) to be a feudal society of warlords and sovereign territories carried on the backs of agricultural peasants.
Got this one yesterday. Model number H70455533
>>53677545

Why are there no digital chronographs? By digital I mean that they use disks with numbers to display the elapsed minutes and hours.
>>53677153
Seiko sportura kinetic 7L22 0aea0
If thars what you mean, it was 1300€-1900 on some website before going out of production. It has the same guts as some nice arcturas, as well as some special limited edition kinetics with tiny mini dials.
>>53677899
These ones, look pretty nice and unique up close.
>>53677608
Looking nice. I like the red-tipped seconds hand on those and omitting 3 completely instead of cutting it off for the date window.
Could you have a sapphire crystal rotor?
>>53677893
Digital watches have always been rare before electronic ones, they're not exactly the easiest thing in the world to make, and then to combine it with a chrono as well.
How difficult is it to convert an automatic movement into handwound?
>>53676348
>That disgusting looking pleather.
>>53678302
Take the old movement out and put one in with handwinding capabilities, pretty easy
What's this?
>>53676640
Oh. I did not know.
>>53678561
a small clock
>>53678561
Most pocket watches are worthless since they are common. Its disappointing. Every family has some early 1900 pocket watch.
>>53678561
Fuck me, the second i saw it i knew what it was.
That's an export model of a soviet made pocket watch, likely made somewhere between the 70s and 90s.
Movement is either a Poljot or a Raketa made, pop it open and i could tell.
>>53678302
Most automatics can be hand wound.
Or take off the caseback and move the oscillating weight with your fingers. Viola -- hand winding.
>>53674703
>>53678561
>>53678713
>>53678614
I just found it, was rotting away in a box somewhere.
If I remember correctly, i got this from my great-grandfather who was born in 1925 and he said he got it for his 18th birthday or something
>>53679214
>>53679214
>>53679237
Well your story seems to wrong, since it seems to be a common soviet made pocket watch.
And ship plate looks exactly like the kind of things you see on 20~40 year old Molnija pocket watches.
Unless you pop open the back we won't be able to tell what it is.
>>53679293
Yeah that's what i thought.. can't really be right

I'd like to see what the typical accuracy of that movement would be. If it's decent seems like it might be the new 'cheap but decent' movement a lot of watches use.

Do I get a Seiko Skyliner or hold out for a King Seiko?
Skyliner is cheaper, hand-winding and means I could get some booze but the KS is pretty tempting to wait and extra week or two for
>>53682455
Just make sure you have no regrets senpai
>>53682455
Get whichever one you want more.
>>53682455
You would love the 52XX series automatics. Very thin automatics with handwinding.
Then I'd say KS, but if you're referring to the Skyliner that's about to be sold in 1 hour then buy both,
>>53682297
I think the more interesting question is what's going on with 9015 pricing? Did Citizen realize suddenly that they could get away with charging a lot more for them?
Currently the dressiest watch I own, and only watch I brought for my business trip. My daily use watches are some Invicta Pro diver (don't feel like finding a model) and a Seiko orange monster. R8/h8 lads.
Just got this in the mail, on the only 20mm strap that I have. I ordered a horween strap for it but that won't come in for a week or two. Set the time and started a accuracy test before trying to set the day/date so I'll do that later. It looks so good. Not one of those phillipines specials, got it on WUS.
>>53681685
Aliexpress.
>>53683077
Looks alright, though it's hard to say if the case has been re-polished from that angle.
How much was it, and does the chronograph properly reset?
>>53683205
Yeah the choronograph functions properly, I reset it once to test it but have left it running since. I don't think it has been polished, it's fairly
>>53682493
>>53682511
>>53682523
>>53682615
I'll hold out for the KS then, the Skyliner'll come in time (I hope)
Cheers for all the advice, Friends
>>53683336
I think it was polished, the corners should a more crisp like in pic related.
Doesn't look like a Philippines special though, or else it would polished to shit.
>>53683014
I like it. ball's a neat brand
>>53683441
Yeah compared to that they're definitely a bit rounded over.
>>53683441
You can see the sharp edge on the other one too, it's just the shine obscures it.
>>53683551
You could say it's not as edgy as an original.
And the shine doesn't exactly hide it, seems it was lightly polished.
>>53674775
Sometimes I'm actually tempted to get one of those crazy-colored G-Shocks just for fun, but it's a little too much money to spend just for shits and giggles.
>>53683611
Yeah the edges are definitely not as sharp as they are in that other picture. But the lines are still there thankfully. Looks very good. in person still.
>>53683765
Never said it was bad, and if the movement is good then it's all well.
Though i'm still trying to think myself if i want to get a 6139, a P3133, an Accutron or say fuck it and get a brand new SARX015.
>>53674703
>>53683802
I would say that I don't think this is a replacement for having a dress watch. but it's a wonderfully interesting looking piece.
I'll probably send this in to Spencer Klein after a while depending on how off the movement is. I know he has like a 6 month wait list at least.
>>53683336
Why have you left the chronograph running?
An SKX run-in between +5 & +10 seconds per day is pretty good right?
>>53684067
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHxB8SqwZsw
A design oversight/quirk and a shortage of replacement parts is why those are left running.
>>53684099
*running
>>53684157
Interesting, is there some reason that Seiko designed it that way or is it a mistake?
>>53684099
Pretty good
>>53684434
Off the top of my head, perhaps they didn't count on the spring being a weak point. There's not a very high chance of failure but each time you reset the chronograph there's a possibility.
>>53684434
It's a vertical clutch, that's how it works. He's saying he doesn't want to compress the spring when it's not needed.
If you weren't around for a couple of the chronograph editions of /wt/ vertical and horizontal clutches are explained in part two of "Chronograph Saga" made by thewatches.tv
https://youtu.be/uwJ9TbkNigs
But saying you don't want to compress a vertical clutch spring when you're actively compressing and decompressing other springs, springs that are just as hard and/or as expensive to replace sounds pretty silly to me. He says the best way to preserve your watch is to not compress that particular spring, but really it would be not to compress any of the springs, leave it on a shelf.
Mostly this is just a parts availability, and part age, issue for a watch nearly a half century old, that's why people are debating the issue as much as they do.
which would you pick, /wt/?
i have small bitch-ass wrists so it would have to be the smaller 356 with no bezel, but having both a bezel and chrono seems unnecessary anyway
time for edc lads
>>53685518
>>53680620
Hey, dunno if you're still reading this but here goes
For Tokyo, Odaiba is really cool. You can see the giant Gundam, there's a big shopping center, and also there's a brewery you can tour there. Also Akihabara is a good place for freakwatching and pop-culture fixes.
Kyoto I would recommend Ginkakuji temple. Kinkakuji (the shiny gold one you see in photos) is neat but it's always packed and is really touristy. Ginkakuji is a little less busy and I feel it captures the peaceful temple atmosphere a lot better, with gardens and a small walking trail. A bit further out there's Arashiyama, which is a really pretty area but you have to pay a bit extra if you have the bus pass (recommended). There's a monkey park on top of a mountain, it's a lovely hike to the top and you can feed the buggers and enjoy the view.
>>53685576
Fushimi-Inari, the shrine with the hundreds of Torii gates, is pretty cool but also usually totally crowded. If you want your shit messed up by asshole deer Nara is a short train ride away.
For Fukuoka, the Tenjin area is most happening. You can walk for hours in the underground shopping area. Canal City is a nice big shopping center with fountains and shit but be careful if it's raining because the roof leaks like a mother. Fukuoka Aquarium is pretty nice too. There's a street that fills with food stands at night around the station that's highly recommended too, definitely get some authentic tonkotsu Hakata ramen while you're down there. If you get bored there I'd recommend hopping the train north to Kokura or south to Nagasaki, those are both really nice cities with lots to do and close enough for a day trip.

>>53685462
Neither are particularly striking to me. What price range are you looking at? There's a speedy reduced on WUS for 1600 earlier today.
>>53685993
If at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions there were the chevrons that we see at 9 and 3, then it would be a very nice little piece. assuming the band isn't complete shit.
>>53686059
The bracelet is solid, including endlinks.
>>53686194
Then for $200 it is indeed very nice.
Anything worth getting from AliExpress in terms of watches for their 6yr anniversary sale?
>>53686052
preowned mint goes for about $1300 around here
speedy reduced is nice but i don't really care for the look that much
also the version of the 356 i would get is the one with acrylic crystal because it looks really great (the picture is pretty gay but displays the acrylic nicely)
>>53685518
>>53685570
I'm kind of new to this, I have a watch with a domed crystal, my question is: Can I replace it for a flat crystal?
>>53686052
The 356 is a nice watch. Have you looked at the 756? The case diameter is 40mm on it.
>>53686954
Usually the answer is no, because the hands extend into the crystal. I don;t see why you would want a flat crystal though, because domed is better in every way.
>>53675345
Wat ? there are tissots/automatic seikos (even SARBs) in Histoire d'Or, I've even seen a Spring Drive in a mall jewelry, and you can find Rolexes/Omegas/Hublots in the big cities
>>53687087
Why is domed better?
And to your question, I like the look of flat crystal.
>>53686954
Maximum pleb.
>>53686988
Did you mean to reply to me or him? I darn near bought a 765 diapal
I love watches
>>53687151
A dome is more resistant to impacts, and reflections off of domed acrylic look much better.
>>53687243
Then why didn't you post a pic of one?
>>53685576
>>53685661
Thanks man. Didn't know the Gundam was still up. I will definitely check that out and the monkey park as well. Looked up the food stands in Fukuoka. Gonna grub big time. Thanks again.

I'm thinking of making my next one having a Lemania 5100 in it. Looking at some Tutima military-issued ones.

Fuck yeah, homey. I worked in an office in Kyoto where to send daily reports in to HQ you had to print off the form, fill it in my hand, and fax it to HQ. PDF? What the fuck is that?
I found a shop in Osaka that specialized in converting DVDs and Blu-Rays to VHS for people who refused to make the switch because their VCR still worked.
>>53677930
I found of these a couple of years ago for $600 new in box. How bad did I fuck up by not buying it?
How do you manage to not look at your watch 24/7?
>>53695491
I have other shit to do
>>53695315
That's not being backwards, that's being traditionalist.
>>53695532
Yeah, that's the problem.
>>53695491
How will I drool over the watches I don't have if I'm too busy staring at those I do?
>>53695556
I'm not even saying I don't kind of admire the latter. It's kind of like the old Yankee saying, "buy it new, wear it out, make it do, do without" in Japan. They bought a high-end VCR, it outlived tape and DVD, and if they're still alive they'll buy a high-end Blu-Ray or whatever is next and it'll last another thirty years. It's a great philosophy, really.
But it does stand in stark contrast to most people's notion that Japan is The Future with robots and shit too. Japan is the 50s for social norms, the 90s for fashion, and the 80s for technology. Akiba and Harajuku are weird outliers that get way too much attention from foreign press.

Not really. It's kind of stupid. Common sense is better.

Yeah.
What watch is the closest to the Nomos Neomatik for less than 200$? Looking for a bauhaus dress watch, but I really love the nomos dial.
>>53695870
Rodina
>>53695870
Oh man I know that feel. Rodina or Tisell Bauhaus are the closest you'll get to a Tangente (Rodina is a little more similar I guess but I have the Tisell and am very satisfied). Unfortunately neither of those are particularly like the Neomatik.

Now I know you're just upset.

I still don't get it, maybe I'm just dumb.
>(1) Currently we offer only very limited models for immediate
shipment, with PayPal buttons. The availabilities of watch
models are stated on top of the webpages accordingly.
I noticed with a few it says sold out or orders starting from X but with the one I want (the GMT) it doesn't say any of that at the top.
There's a contact form for questions, am I supposed to place my order through that?
>>53696248
Now i know you're just baiting
>>53696228
>>53696283
Okay I am just dumb, I noticed a few of them do have paypal buttons. Thanks for trying to help senpai.
>>53696248
Of course I'm upset, I like order. Your point?
Was thinking of getting one of these but apparently it's not available. Are there any similar (true) GMTs in the poorfag price range (around $200 max)?

>be a hikikomori neet

I know you fuckers did this. I did it on my [spoiler]phone[/spoiler].
>>53696514
If I had a GMT watch I'd have it set to Japan time because my brother lives there.
>>53696514
S-sou janai yo, senpai!
... it actually totally is but I live in GMT+1 so I have an excuse not to set the GMT hand to actual GMT.
>>53696530
>>53696580
Yeah, sure, Davido-kun.
I need a new daily. I'm trying to decide if a SARG005 (RIP 007) is worth twice as much as a SRP625. Sapphire crystal and nicer movement, in a smaller case. All good things, but is it worth $400 vs $200?
>>53696362
I've wanted one for over a year but find the dial / hands ugly and the local guy I contacted to CNC out a dial / hands I designed said that my design was way too intricate. :^(
>>53698635
Get a SARG007 off /f29/
>>53698919
Alas, I am Canadian. Also, trying to get my hands on a watch as soon as possible. Watchlessness is hell. Who the fuck checks their phone for the time?
>>53674703
Cruisin for some pucci
>>53699159
Btw, there is a Canadian seller on ebay who's selling vintage stuff super cheap, but he refuses to ship to most of the world.
Is there another Seiko with the 6R15 movement with a design similar to the SARX027?
How much does it cost used?
>>53699581
Pretty sure you can still buy a used SARX029 nowdays.
It is similar.
>>53699178
What Seiko 5 is that?
>>53682444
where can I get this?

Are they balantly lying or did they really develop their own movement?
>>53696332
>Of course I'm upset
>>53699747
Totally different. I don't lik it as much. The black dial with a classic design is a big no.

That strap doesn't work at all on those watches esp the submariner

I think they look quite nice, esp the sub
My latest acquisitions
>>53707953
Damn nigga. How are the movements?
>>53708008
All three not running. But they buzz with a fresh battery so all they need is a good servicing (no bad coils thank god).
Picked em up on the bay with the intentions of fixing them up and, if I feel like it, flipping them.
>>53708082
Godspeed in fixing them then.
>>53708118

Guess this will satisfy my watch thirst for a while.
Though now i need to get a couple of 20mm straps.

If they do the GMT with the style of design that's on the lower row it's going to be a jackpot.
Hey /wt/, I recently won pic related on eBay for £25. Did I do good?
>dat kanji date wheel
Also what would be the best strap to fit? I only as due to the lug design. The bracelet is probably too small and the 70's Seiko bracelets were probably shit tier anyway.
Many thanks in advance for your kind advice.
