If that's their second best I'd hate to see the worst
>>54237472
If I didn't know how amazingly well put together that thing is and how nice it actually feels I'd never have the appreciation for it. I frankly think it looks meh and I'd personally never buy it. Oyster Perpetual is much more to my liking and even that thing looks just "alright" to my eye.
The Amphibia 710 case is definitely too big for a 6.2" wrist right?
fuck watches
Tried this on at my local AD today. Should i /g/?
I'm thinking of getting a new strap for my Seiko SCVE, preferably something a bit more summery. I have it on a mocca strap from Rios right now, which is nice but a bit stiff.
Would an orange Nato complement the blue well or would it just make me look like a raging faggot?
i can appreciate the engineering of a good watch but actually wearing watches is fucking retarded

>>54238157
Whoa, projecting much? I don't want to buy a watch that is too big for me. Looking online I've seen inconsistent sizing charts for the 710 case that's why I'm resorting to asking on /wt/.

See. You're insecure as fuck. You're afraid you're not masculine enough for a big boy watch. And no, the 710 is not big. 41mm is not big.
>>54238119
And why? Once you do you realize how handy it is you'll feel naked without one. That and they can look great.
>>54238099

>>54238292
I don't want to look like one of those retards with massive watches. How does that make me insecure? That's like calling me insecure for not wearing XL t-shirts.

i actually think these are one of the nicer contemporary seiko designs that might actually be sought after in the future as opposed to a plain sarb035/033
is that your pic? I really like the orange one
>>54237576
the 3-6-9 markers are an acquired taste, the OPs look much nicer to newbies first starting to get into watches, it's also another reason why nomos/bauhaus watches are so popular amongst noobs
trust me, I'm an expert
>>54238459
It looks decent enough for the price and shouldn't have the loud ticking of the regular weekender.
>>54238459
I have an Expedition chrono which I pretty much only wear for outdoors activities. So far it's taken quite a beating in the two years I've had it, but no problems so far. I imagine this one will be similar but will suffer from the normal Weekender's TICK-TICK-TICK
>>54238615
I think you can add the Alpinist (SARB and SARG), Cocktail Time and the SARX to that list. Actually pretty much every contemporary Seiko has an interesting quirk, with the exception of the SARB033 and SARB035. But hey, there are people out there who happily pay big money for Lord Marvels and Lord Matics.
Will this gonna be complicated to put together?
>>54238714
>date at 3
how you gonna make that work, cap
>>54237979
Yup.
We had a guy posting his 060 on a 6inch wrist and it looked way too big. Despite the 060 lug to lug being slightly bigger then the 710 it's still smaller.
Consider getting the 420 case, and if you're willing to wait i recall posting some comparison pictures that might help a little but i need to find them first.
>>54238732
what's the problem? I don't care about the date, the dial will conceal the date wheel
>>54238732
he just won't have a date
>>54238705
>I imagine this one will be similar but will suffer from the normal Weekender's TICK-TICK-TICK
They're quite quiet, apparently. Part of the reason why I chose it over the normal Weekender. That, and I'm one of those weird perverts that actually regularly use the stopwatch on a chrono
>>54238714
i don't know but unless you have a big wrist i would go for a smaller case than 42mm
>>54238761
well, alright then
>>54238315
Why do you have a stupid face?
>>54237444
just bought this for my kid for his graduation
>>54238752

>>54239468
I fucking hate all this shitty text cluttering up the dial and the chapter ring. Any watch should tell you no more than FOUR of the following things:
>Who made it
>What's the model name
>What's the water resistance in metres or bar
>What's the jewel count
>Is it automatic
>What's the beat rate, if higher than 21,600
Anything else should be in the owner's manual.
Is a titanium case/bracelet worth a ~$50 increase over a SS steel one?
>>54239796
>>What's the jewel count
>>Is it automatic
>>What's the beat rate, if higher than 21,600
It should never tell any of those things on the dial.
>>54239378

>>54240037
>It's interesting you mention that
Yeah well try wearing one and report back.
>>54240156
Doesn't seem to be in any worse shape than mine.
>>54239847
My old Seikos would like to have a word with you.
>>54240206
Well I figure 5.5 and 6 isn't a significant factor in the real world since most scratch agents are sand/silica in dust (~7),other metals and surfaces (~3-6).
So the main difference would be weight. Is titanium light enough to merit an extra 50 bucks?
>>54240156
>>54240284
These look kinda nice compared to all the other fuck-ugly Citizen divers. Are these somewhere in the SKX price range?
>>54240204
Blue dial ones don't pop out frequently and used Promasters are being sold quite expensive these days since there's a rumour that they are being discontinued.
The seller assures it works perfectly and judging by the pics it looks like it has been treated well, just the case back is a bit scratched.
If I don't like it I will sell it for the price I paid or a bit more, that's the good thing of buying used, you don't lose money.
>>54240343
New they cost about 190~200$, my black one was 50$ as par of a bigger deal.
They wear a little smaller then the SKX, 20mm lugs and handwinding.
>>54240284
Hey Shlomo, yeah I wish I could have gotten a bargain like yours.
I've been lurking like mad on the WUS sales corner and eBay since I got hyped by yours but didn't find any good ones for such a low price. Hope this one comes with the English/Japanese day-wheel, the seller doesn't have a clue and says it's just in English.
I just picked up an Electronika 5 and the battery is gone. Anyone know which battery this thing takes?
>>54240037
There are different alloys of stainless and different alloys of titanium.
316L stainless as used in watches is 95 on the Rockwell scale where grade 5 titanium used in watches is a 36. Titanium watches scratch a lot, you could ask anyone who has owned one and they would confirm it. Some titanium watches have very hard surface coatings, those are probably much better.
PS Mohs hardness scale is qualitative bullshit and it's meant for minerals anyway, not metals.
>>54240592
Open it up and take a look.
>>54240633
>>54240297
Also since you asked, titanium is a bit more than half as dense as stainless. Obviously the titanium watch won't weight half as much because the rest of the components won't be any lighter, but it's probably noticeably lighter if you put them side by side.
>>54239796
>his watch doesn't tell him that it's an AUTOMATIC CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED
>>54240659
Seems unusual. The side-light works but the watch face is blank.
>>54238615
It's a nice watch, I've been very happy with my own.
A detail that isn't apparent when looking at pictures is that the subdial has a completely different shine than the rest of the watch face - it makes the dial as a whole much more interesting.

>My wife's son
>>54240633
Pardon me I'm retarded, I didn't notice those numbers were on the B scale for steel and C scale for titanium. But also the numbers for steel were given for annealed steel which is softer, you wouldn't anneal a watch case because it's supposed to be hard.
So I don't have numbers but stainless steel watches are still harder than titanium ones, I know that.
>>54240286
Yeah exactly, that's awful.
I don't want the shock protection, beatrate, or crystal type on the dial, it's horrible.
>tfw incredibly depressed
>tfw watch fits looser every day because i'm dropping weight like crazy
my only complaint about metal bracelets
>>54240929
You have micro adjustment in the clasp.
Mine fits loose/tight depending on the time of day too, and it is more annoying with a bracelet than with a strap for sure.
>>54240971
it's such a fucking bother to adjust, and it's already as tight as it gets because it fit perfectly before i lapsed into this stage of my life

I'm leaning towards the wrist being a lie.
>>54243474
>>54243474

>>54243777
there's no way either 47mm or 6 3/4 inches. It looks smaller than my 42mm speedmaster
What are your thoughts on Suunto? Just picked up this one second hand. 2016 model.
>>54243885
It wears small because it has tiny lugs. The diameter may be 47mm, but the actual lug-to-lug length is not really that big.
It's similar to why the SKX007 is 42mm plus a big cushion case yet it looks fine on all the skellywrists in /wt/ while most other 42mm watches with normal length lugs would look bad on them.
>>54244046

I can't however believe the wrist in that picture was measured accurately

I like the Rolex quartz movement a lot. It's supposedly very accurate and very reliable too, plus the Oysterquartz is a cool looking watch.
>>54244240
You're supposed to service quartz movements too, retard.
Played some light basketball with it today, didn't miss a beat. It did just stop and it had only been just less than a day since winded so I guess I didn't wind it enough for the estimated 45 hour power reserve and it messed up my s/d. But after 15 hours there was only a 1 second difference so that's not too bad.
>>54210949

What the fuck is the point of decorating a quartz movement? The only part you can work on is the outer plate. Who the fuck cares?
Decorating mechanical movements is a type of justifying the retarded prices that the swiss charge, but there's really no reason to do so with a Quartz.
>>54244655
Patek Philippe 5107
>>54244700
So you're saying that decorating any movement is pointless, but it's OK to do pointless decoration on mechanical movements? But by the same logic it's not ok on quartz?
>>54244700
There is no need to be upset
>>54244805
Decorating is entirely pointless, but at least with mechanical movements it's justified
I would rather a quartz have the circuit board and stuff showing, rather than a striped metal plate.
>>54244856
Having a nice looking dial is pointless. This should not be allowed.
>>54244912
Don't be stupid, you're constantly looking at the dial, you're not always looking at the movement.
Does anybody here unironically prefer acrylic crystals? Is there any advantage to them other than their shatter resistance?
>>54244929
But I am sometimes. I literally sometimes take my watch off and look at the movement.
>>54245027

>>54245009

They're much more inherently anti reflective and are very easy to polish.

>>54245009
>Does anybody here unironically prefer acrylic crystals?
I do, especially domed, mostly 'cause I'm into the 60's-70's looks.
>>54245009
They look nice, they have sort of a warm look and aren't super reflective like glass/sapphire so they look more transparent. Also acrylic domes look great, domes can't be made as thick and tall with sapphire.
>>54244700
I have very few quartz, as I tend to prefer mechanicals, but when I have changed thier batteries, I appreciate a better looking quartz. So, there is that. The element of tradition and beauty.
However, although it is true that most finishing techniques in mechanicals have an origin traceable to the idea of helping the material/components withstand the test of time, quartz parts can also benefit from this.
Finishing demands the use of better quality materials, metal in particular, wich will prevent from board melting/desintegrating like several cheap quartz suffer.
>>54245009
Hesalite and acrylic crystals have a warmer sensation that sapphire, wich I enjoy a lot. Plus, they can be formed -cheaply- in more interesting forms other than flats.
Nontheless, if possible, I prefer sapphire for the simple reason that it will need less maintenance and supports heavier use.
Would an domed acrylic look good on the SKX013?
>>54245257
I saw your Dynamic the other dial and got curious. Is that crystal original?
>>54245331
It has an omega engraved in the center, it's visible in this photo. So I'm pretty sure it's original.
>>54245049
>That's called autism anon. I'm sorry.
As much as looking as anything else that is pretty and interesting to a person. Such as art, or even a landscape.
I'm sorry I can't agree with you, anon.
>>54244856
>Decorating is entirely pointless
No it is not. An anglaged part will corrode less than a simply cutted one. This is only one of many examples.

>>54245527
I love that pic. I think your father may have had the crystal replaced with a louped one from a first generation Dynamic. Or maybe Omega did it.
Looks great, with the loupe over the day too. Cherish it anon.
>>54246804
probably omega because the crystal is original i guess
at least if the pic with the watermark on the crystal from last thread was his too
>>54246804
Somehow I never noticed that other Dynamics don't have the magnifier. Now that you mention it I checked photos online and it seems you're right that my crystal isn't original.
I guess it's fine, it actually fits the watch and the magnifier matches up with the day-date display fine so it's at least not a bad hackjob. It also seems like mine has a taller dome than the stock crystal which makes sense since the magnifying lens is actually on the inside surface of the crystal.
>>54247505
I like the look of your magnifier too.
>>54247505
>the magnifying lens is actually on the inside surface of the crystal.
Mind taking a side-on picture of the crystal? Sounds like putting the magnifier on the underside of the crystal would be a good way to mitigate how dusty and shitty looking the usual magnifiers get.

It's nice, it prevents it from getting all scratched up too which is good because it's acrylic.

Just remember that the crystal issue doesn't make it any less cool. I wasn't making a critic, I was simply curious.
Enjoy your watch m8.
I got a Minus 8 Zone a while back, but I hate how the strap feels. Is there another strap I can replace it with?
>>54248694
Looks like it doesn't have standard lugs, so probably not. Take a photo of the back where the strap attaches to the watch and maybe we can tell you for sure.
Just picked up a Weekender for 20 bucks. Amazing watch for the money, but Jesus Christ why did I not believe you guys about how loud it is. This thing is literally keeping me up at night.
>>54248970
We warned you bro.
>>54248990
Yeah, I should have just spent the extra 20 and gotten the chrono.

My dad loves his Weekender, the noise doesn't seem to bother him.
He's been losing his hearing for years now, though, and I don't know if it's from not wearing proper hearing protection at work or if it's from the watch.
>>54249076
You could probably find other deaf weekender users and get a class action lawsuit going.
>>54249076
Oh shit i laughed so hard.
I have tinitis from guns so i cherish the moments is quiet enough for me to hear my watch tick
>>54238459
Have one on my wrist rn, it's cool, I get a lot of compliments from the boys and grills, however don't expect miracles when you pay 50$ for a watch, the NATO looks cheap, the big second hands jiggle and the small second hand is misaligned, other than that it's cool, I'm satisfied with mine
>>54245742
Not his, original Anon here.
No its not hard to see at all. And getting a watch at 53$ with sensors they use in ProTrek watches + 20bar WR + mineral glass + inverted screen made it a great deal. Only I had a small small speck of dust in mine, between the mineral glass and screen but seeing that its a digital quartz watch with few parts that could be harmed by a small speck of dust, I really dont pay any attention to it.

I guess I'd have to get an acrylic dome in front of me to appreciate it. I feel like it'd only be good on a dress watch, since I manage to scratch the shit out of even mineral glass on a daily wear watch. Sapphire 2stronk.
>>54250447
Yeah I love acrylic but it's definitely best for dress watches. For anything that might get beaten up a lot I prefer sapphire. Mineral glass is a shitty middle ground though, it's still possible to scratch it but then it's too hard to polish out the scratches.
>>54244676
what's your emotional investment in this piece of shit, have seen you shilling it before
>>54250524
Dear acrylic crystal users: what do you do when you gouge the crystal? I understand scratches are easy to polish, but something deeper's going to stay. Do you get a replacement crystal? Are they easy to find in good quality and OEM-like fitment? Can I say goodbye to any pretense of water tightness with acrylics?
>>54250578
Replaced the case since it was cheap.
Got this Poljot 2612.1 Automatic Alarm watch cheaply on eBay.

That's a handwinding watch.

Indeed, my bad.

I can get a Soviet Submarine Auto for 49€
Worth it?
>>54250578
Polishing won't get rid of really deep scratches, but it will soften the lines of it, making it less visible. Still if a domed acrylic crystal on a vintage watch is beat to shit I just replace it, a fresh crystal will mean a huge difference.
>>54251604
That's not Soviet made, hell it's likely not even Russian made.
So no.
>>54251604
Why would it have "Automatic" in English?
Fuck the police
Do you guys like my Raketa?
Sorry if the pic is turned sideways, happens with all the pics I take from my phone.
>>54251745
Disgusting
>>54251327
You said you got this for reel cheapo, did u find it on a dutch watch forum?
>>54251745
>>54251327
Stay away from sushi comrade.
>>54252170
Jeez, it has a japanese Miyota movement and it's been working and keeping steady time for years. I don't understand the hate.
>>54252195
It's ugly fashion shit with a cheap movement. I bet the watch wasn't cheap though was it?
>>54252248
Eh, all watches in my country are overpriced. I got it as a gift anyway. I don't know what to tell you, it keeps good time.
>>54244676
and huge
>>54243812
it's pretty [spoiler]rad[/spoiler]
>mfw I actually paid for this
I only realized how ugly it was after I made the order.
>>54252299
If you like it then enjoy wearing it in good health my friend. However don't expect anyone here to like it too.
>>54252378
What the fuck is going on with that number 3?!
>>54252316
It's only about the same as an SKX isn't it?
>>54251026
That looks nice. I wouldn't use this strap on it though.
>>54252378
That's probably not the best dial you could have chosen.
>>54252471
I paid $60 for it, which isn't too bad. I'll probably just replace the dial. I'm not sure what I was thinking.
>>54252513
Replacing the dial isn't too easy, you have to remove and set the hands.
>>54252525
Yeah I know that's why I didn't consider it an option until now. I'll try it anyway and see what happens. If anything goes wrong I'll just pay a watchmaker to do it like a good cuck would.
Can /wt/ identify this watch?
>>54252913
Judging by the 'bracelet'/strap, I'm guessing it's some DKNY/Fossil tier shit.
>>54252913
