Really tempted to get this rep.
Can anyone recommend a good chink watch under $50 that supports 20mm bands? Any suggestions are fine.
>>54386688
You mean fake. And it almost certainly won't even be fucking titanium.

>>54387629
oh, yeah i definitely see some resemblance there. i picked up the orient for $100 and put a brown leather band with some white contrast stitching on it. it definitely looks and feels far more expensive than it actually was. pretty satisfied with it so far. it's not automatic but eh, that kind of thing will come later.

>>54386688
Get it! life is too short to throw money away for the real one.
If you worry about the chinck movement breaking, just put any other cheap movement in there. Fitting hands is easy, Finding one that fits will be hard.
This is the Swarzenegger watch I like. Some brazilian watch company but swiss? They still havent released a single watch.
>>54387944
>This is how i imagine you, pal.
I think that image is probably a better representation of some fake buyer. Who lusts so hard after some swiss shit that they're going to open their wallet for any chink shit that tries to mimic it to grab his shekels instead of buying something decent, like a Citizen or Seiko or some microbrand in their price range.
My current watch.
Do any of you know a good beater watch that i would feel comftrable using in the workshop?

>>54388185
If you use hammers or subject your watch to socks and stuff, I'd expect the minute hand to come undone. I know this model. Looks good but the hand adjustment as fine from factory is shit.

http://s.aliexpress.com/ei6J7NNf
It is a bit pricey but it's the best looking chink watch I have seen. Add 30 dollars to your budget and get a parnis portugese.
I want a decent quality, minimalistic open heart for about $200 US or under. Can it be done?
Any good mechanical as daily beater with +/- 2-3 second deviation max per day, gauss resistance, protection against positional variance? Budget up to AUD 3,000.

>Planning of selling my watches.
why?
>>54389806
No.
I looked at the website and the designs, and even without checking the price, I know they're overpriced.
"swiss luxury" oversized garbage with the cheapest ronda or eta they could find, garbage design, a french-sounding name that has nothing to do with watches.
literally the only appeal of the brand is that it's swiss made, and we all know that counts for absolutely nothing.
>>54389898
what buy instead. looking for a nice diver
>>54390080
What's your budget? What style are you looking for?
>>54390112
$600 give or take. Just a classic looking diver, really like the look of the submariner and seamaster 300.
>>54390174
Going for a lower budget options first.
Not exactly the same style, but look at Seiko's various offerings,SRP777, SKX007, the Monster. The submariner look is really overused.
Otherwise get the Orient Ray II, looks like a sub without being a straight out copy of one.
>>54390208
I was looking at the ray II a fair bit, but im unsure about the quality due to the cheap pricing.
>>54390215
Orient usually delivers some quality watches even at lower prices. But consider the following, the price of the watch doesn't always fully reflect the actual quality.
I got the MK.1 Ray for over a year now and i'm very pleased with the quality, though i don't have the bracelet.
>>54390174
Obris Morgan Explorer 2 (although quite long lug-to-lug, and probably hard to find now)
Seiko SRP775 (but the case design is very different from a classic diver)
Steinhart Ocean One (very much a Submariner "homage")
Squale 20 atmos
>>54390215
I have a Ray myself (>>54389030 ). It's quite good, but the movement isn't great (the lack of hacking and handwinding), and the day window and extra pusher are a bit "quirky" (which I like, but you might not be into). The bracelet is very decent for the price (I got it for 110€ on bracelet).
The thing I dislike the most about it after wearing it for about 6 months is actually the shape of the lugs. I would have prefered something more straight, with less curves.
>>54390080
soki sub :^)
>>54390282
Now you're just confusing the boy.
Were talking about the Ray II with the newer hacking and handwinding movement. The lugs are nicely curved if you're not strangling your wrist with it.
>>54390304
I'm talking about this curve, not the one around the wrist. It doesn't show up that much in pictures...
>>54390304
>>54390370
Oh and my bad about the new Ray, I didn't know it was available already. You do get rid of the pusher and gain a better movement then, for sure.
I believe it's not priced quite as aggressively as the "old" model though?

If you want an actual dive watch you get a frogman. Anything else is retardation. "Dive" watches haven't been used seriously for decades.
Really tired of this meme.
>>54390381
185$ on Longislandwatches, could be cheaper somewhere else but the owner is bro tier.
>>54390392
Alright, sperg-kun.
>>54390392
Probably 99.9% of dive watches don't go below 12 feet of water, but they're a rugged style with useful features despite being replaced by dive computers proper. Also that's ugly as fuck.
>>54390282
Yeah those Steinhart Ocean Ones look really good, probably getting one of them.
Thanks all =)))
opinions?
what type of hands should I use?
>>54390830
Depends on what sort of watch it is. Also colors. And is that pattern supposed to be guilloché along the lines of pic related?
Then you already fucked up. It's going to look stupid with date and sub-dial. It's too elegant for that.
>>54390912
no texture, the background will be just pain black, shinny silver like case with black croco leather strap.
yes maybe the date is too much.
>>54390987
That sounds weird. I can't really imagine the design.
Is it a dress watch or what?
>>54391022
yes, why it is weird?
>>54390830
Here you go. I'm not very good at paint, but you get the gist.

I'm going on a trip to Chicago in a few weeks and I'll be taking the train regularly at night. Should I just take a cheap, unobtrusive quartz at the risk of getting jacked? I'm not saying I will, just thinking ahead.
>>54391408
Alright, well a mechanical movement had potential then. They are prone to damage by serious shock and vibration, so a mechanical movement wouldn't be a good choice in you used a hammer and chisel or a jack hammer

Not to mention it's a fuck huge dress watch.
Also it's a literal waste of money along with that dogshit diver next to it.
r/watches would love it though. I recommend you fuck off to there and never come back.
>>54392454>>54392454
Sounds to me like you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. But it's fine, do you.
I wanted something cheap to wear at work instead of my terrorist watch.
But my hands usually get dirty and it looks so good that I keep wearing the F91W.
>>54392482
Fuck off please. We don't need more dog shit here.
>>54392488
>Looks good
Sure
But if you're bored of your terrorist open it up and invert the polarizer. Gives you the cool negative screen look.
>>54392525
Get off your high horse, faggot. What are you wearing?
>>54392573
I could smear a turd on my wrist and it would still be better than the literal filth that you own you fucking degenerate.

>>54392525
>invert the polarizer
Well that would be cool indeed if I had any fucking clue about electronics.
>>54392680
I think I'll do this to my almost-terrorist. A good cheap source of polarizing stuff is 3d glasses from the movie theater.

>>54392856
I'm going to chime in as well.
FC is a meme brand and you picked one of their ugliest watches. The overcomplicated and overcrowded gaudy dial looks awful and the 42mm size doesn't fit a dress watch.
As far as the Longines those fuckhuge numbers ruin it, should have went for something off the Heritage line.
>>54392987
You won't look like a terrorist or hipster.
>>54393059
bracelet or resin?
>>54392987
It has significantly more features, looks awesome and only costs a few dollars more.
>>54393132
Green map is the best version, the bracelet one would be awesome if the case wasn't that awful silver plastic
>>54393059
>>54392987
I have the one on the left, really useful watch for every day things. I originally bought this watch because my wife works for a company that sends her across the US and Europe. TimeZones are a must for me.
>>54393276
>TimeZones are a must for me.
To figure out what time to watch her getting plowed by other men over skype?
>>54393326
Yes. We have an open relationship.
I wanna buy a Seiko with a 6R15 movement, possibly a watch that doesn't cost more than ~350 and one that I can wear in every situation and with a bracelet. My wrist is 16cm, unfortunately.
I like the sarx017 but it might be to big for my wrist, the sarx017 but it's not something you can wear casually and it costs a lot, the alpinist, sarb017, but not the green one, the Cocktail time as well.
What do?
>>54393337
>Yes. We have an open relationship.
I recommend you ditch the Casio and get a frederique constant.

>>54393599
Yes, the 33/35, whatever. What do you mean by "70s dial?"
>>54388271
THe japs only give their orient models model numbers.
eg. "Mako" is just one of the many faggy names given to orient watches by fags on the internet.
The orient retailer in the US, having springboarded to popularity by shilling on WUS, has maintained this custom of giving nonsensical names to watches that come to them with only a number.
Blame watch forum faggots and those that pander to them in the US.
>>54393672
I don't like the dial, it looks like a blocky 70's dial.
>>54393707
Whine all you want, but when someone says shogun, sport, ray, bambino, etc you know exactly which watch they're talking about as opposed to "CEM65001B"
>>54387944
Why do people like this exsist? The only reason I can see why people would buy a fake is due to trying to impress others. What the fuck are people like this trying to prove? The whole idea of an expensive watch (brands such as Rolex, Tudor, Patek, JLC and more) is to understand and experience the quality of a well engineered timepiece that you have obviously worked hard to earn. You purchase it to impress yourself with it because you feel that you earned the luxurary of a good quality piece.
Not to give in to not trying to save and purchasing a cheap, Chink fake that doesn't have a quarter of the quality the original has, has almost no if not any QC, doesn't have nearly as much perfection in the piece and will most likely last 2-3 months until it dies or gets forgotten about.
So enjoy your Chink fake watch pleb friend, you'll be the coolest kid on the block when you mislead what little to any friends you have into believing it's real pleb friend :^)
>>54393919

Seiko's that are Japanese made are going to hopefully have better quality than the Malaysian ones right?

Hey /g/ I thought this was a good a place as any to get some help. I am trying to figure out what make and/or model this watch is. It has no other markings anywhere. The back cover has been replaced with a clear metal one as far as I'm told. And I can't find that logo anywhere to get a clue, so I'm turning to someone more knowledgeable for help. Thanks in advance!

This so much for everything. 4chan is the last place on the internet where you can insult people and not get called out for the lack of etiquette even though you're correct.
>>54397395
My most expensive watch is old and not waterproof and kind of delicate, so no. Also it's a gold dress watch so I probably wouldn't want to wear it evey day of my trip.
My travelling watch is usually my SKX007, it's rugged enough to do anything but on a bracelet it also looks decent enough to wear with anything in most situations. If I had a nicer diver I would probably wear that instead, but I like my SKX enough that I really don't want any more divers.

What oil should I buy if I want to try lubricating an old accutron? I can see the gear that is getting caught up, and it looks like that may help.

>>54392761
I have an old terrorist with a nato strap that I might fuck around with.
Would it still be waterproof after replacing the polarizer like this?
>>54386397
Does this strap go with my accutron? I think it looks a bit weird.
>>54398735
Canola is a good neutral choice but pretty high in cholesterol, olive is healthier but it has a low smoke point.

>>54399066
Yeah, I usually wear it on brown or black leather:
>>54387384
Or on my corduroy strap. I was looking for something metal to wear sometimes. Maybe I will try a mesh bracelet.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE TOPPINGS!?

>>54399169
How easy is it to find a mesh bracelet for the Accutron's weird imperial system bars? Nobody makes them in 11/16 ''
>>54400010
I am not sure. I usually use 18mm bands, but I guess a mesh band might be a bit harder to fit. My calipers measure it at 17.5mm, but my other accutron is 19.1mm.

Fuckin' operatic.
Thinking of getting a F91w because of the cheapness (poor uni student) but I haven't worn a watch in many years and am worried that the plastic strap may be uncomfortable. Is this a real concern with the F91w? Anyone have any experience?
>>54388536
I worked as a roughneck in the oil patch for a year and wore a Timex Expedition every night. My primary tool was a full sized sledgehammer.
>>54388615
Hahaha. Two bullshit myths there.
First of all it's not getting that hot because it's on your wrist and 200 pounds of mostly 98.6 degree water makes a great heat sink.
Second, get a watch with a legit pressure rating and you're fine. Dynamic pressure is a myth when it comes to watches. A stream of water moving fast enough to count as 100m of pressure would be more than fast enough to knock the watch right off your wrist.
A legit excuse is you don't want food particles and shit getting stuck in the watch and strap.
>>54400503
I haven't had problems with it, but I really like NATO straps and other cloth straps, they're more comfortable to me. Also anon you don't HAVE to get the F91w, there are plenty of poorfag options.
>>54387034
Was thinking one of the understated Hi-Beats - I also really liked that black dialed Hi-Beat GMT that one anon was posting a few weeks ago. Figure I'll go check 'em out if there are any stores that even sell em in Canada.

something i got for my wife which she never wears
>>54400657
I can see why
>>54400875
I agree, Pajeet.
Somebody over on /k/ is looking for an analog watch in the $100-200 range, to give to his GF who's joining the Coast Guard. It needs to have good water resistance and be rugged and reliable. I suggested the Seiko SKX007/173, but he says he'd prefer Quartz. Any ideas?
>>54401051
BFK?
>>54396326
The submariner doesn't have a cyclops. The submariner date has one.
>>54401081
Actually scratch that, that's too big for a girl. Citizen makes eco-drive promaster divers in women's size, they're super cute and don't skimp on the WR at all.
>>54386397
>>54401051
If she needs a watch for important coast guarding and needs it to be rugged, how about a g-shock
What did he mean by this, exactly?
is this a good price?
>>54400657
>which she never wears
Aw don't say that
I'm sure she wears it when Jamal is fucking her, just to show how much she loves you
We should make an irc for 24/7 instant shitposting
>>54401539
not bad - just $36 US dollars
>>54401620
niggers probably get way to distracted and over stimulated to fuck when they see shinny things so that's probably why she doesn't wear it too often
>>54401655
But why the fuck did this nig set this is as the price?
>>54401670
money laundering or to jack up the average list price
>>54401257
He said it has to be analog and specifically no G-Shocks. I would have recommended finding a good deal on a Suunto or something if digital were ok anyway.
>>54401209
I'll suggest one of those, that's not a bad idea, and eco-drive gets rid of the biggest issue with Quartz too.
>>54397836
Dude you gotta take off the shitty stock bezel

i-it's the only price on amazon.ca for that watch tho...
>>54402213
That circuit just using a regular 32kHz quartz crystal as the oscillator.
On a side note, VFDs are sexy as hell.
>>54402286
>is just
Fixed.
>>54401641
I'm down
Let's make a room on rizon
How does #/wt/ sound?
>>54401670
Probably was out of stock and didn't want to bother making a new listing.
>>54401051
Amphibia with the most obnoxious Soviet propaganda dial.
>>54402334
So you fuckers on board with this or would I just be wasting my time?
>>54402730
The latter.
Hi
>have a casio f105 (pic)
>years ago, battery runs out so I take it apart completely
>now, try to put it back together with new battery, everything fits right
>except for a tiny spring about as big as the screws for the backplate, 1mm tops
>put back together, the backlight will come on when the button is pressed but nothing else will happen, no numbers on display
I know its a small chance but does anyone know where I went wrong
>inb4 buy a new one for $30
had it since I was a toddler and I want to have it working
>>54402762
That's most likely the ground spring, it usually also is how the watch beeps.
It's supposed to poke out and touch the backplate.
>>54402779
thanks m8, i'll try it
in theory it should be grounded anyway since tje frame that the battery slips into is metal and contacts the backplate but idk
An explanation of some Casio dial text since I know /wt/ rightfully hates dial paragraphs.
>TOUGH MVT
The hands will align themselves to the indices (includes seconds obviously) automatically. Some models have it at a set interval, some have it after it detects a shock that moved the hands and some have both
>TOUGH SOLAR
The solar cells can use any kind of ambient light to charge, not just sunlight; weird name I know
>WAVECEPTOR/MULTI-BAND 6
The watch can sync up to satellite for atomic time.

>The same way socks go with sandals.
Germans and their impeccable style think otherwise.
What's the cheapest I can get an old 36mm Explorer for?
How accurate are these kind of Seikos?

what are some good ladies watches
I'm looking in the 200-400 range
vintage works for me too
I just dont know what to look for when it comes to ladies watches
a tudor princess oyster would be ideal but they're hard to get in my budget
>>54402827
what is tough about either of those things
>>54403989
I have the vague idea that Tissot might make some nice-ish ladies watches in your pricerange.
Cartier and Corum come to mind but are quite a bit more expensive.
>>54403989
Movado
>>54403959
Mine did about +5 to +8 secs per day.
>>54403989
Orient Star has a few very nice ladies watches.
>>54404259
they have a few ok but extremely bland watches
>>54404296
kill yourself
>>54404297
stars all seem too busy for me
that and star seems to not make ladies watches, unless I am missing somthing all the ladies watches are just under the orient name.
>>54404383
>busy

>>54404395
>lumedots and indices
no thanks anon
>>54404413
>Applied indices are a problem
Then go buy her a Movado.
>>54404443
That is not what I said anon, don't be retarded.
>>54404383
>kill yourself
Look, faggot.
Men's watches are tools.
Women's watches are fashion accessories.
If you can't handle the intricacies of SEXUAL DIMORPHISM you should probably not be buying your mom a watch for Mother's Day.
>>54404463
You're still basically asking for a Movado.
Otherwise go look at ladies Longines.
>>54404511
Cool opinions friend
this watch is not for my mom
>>54404516
I'm in no way asking for a movado.
>>54404511
>'handling the intricacies of sexual dimorphism' means buying movado
>>54404560
He's not exactly in the Tiffany & Co. bracket.
I think I'm in love
>>54404872
im sorry you were cursed
I will buy and enjoy a $20 automatic from dhgate and there's nothing you can do about it >:D
>>54405082
it used to bother me for twenty years since I was 7 years old.
Now I just don't give a damn anymore
