Look in all the dictionaries.
There is no word for what we do.
It's not 'tradition', though our craft is timeless.
'Limitless' is too limiting.
'Enduring' is not enduring enough.
'Innovation' can only begin to describe it.
We sculpt, paint and explore.
But explorers, sculptors, and painters we are not.
This is the only thing we make.
The only thing we will ever make.
There is no word for what we do.
There is only a way.
The Rolex Way.

Why is Omega still alowed to use space shit in their marketing when the only current speedmaster certified for use is the abomination that is the x33?
The Casio DW5600 and the Timex Ironman are also certified by NASA but it's never mentioned unless you specifically look it up. Does Omega have a marketing deal with NASA or something?

Do you guys know of any good mechanical digital watches/those floating dial ones that cost under 300 US?
>>54434371
>Mechanical Digital watches
>Floating dial ones
Wh-what? Explain more anon.
>>54434371
Do you ana digi?
>>54434485
Not sure what he means by floating dial -- he may mean floating hand, where you print or otherwise represent a hand on a clear disk.
You should already know mechanical digital. /g/ loves the zeitwerk.

>Not sure what he means by floating dial -- he may mean floating hand, where you print or otherwise represent a hand on a clear disk.
I was just saying that because I vaugley recall other posters here using that word when talking about mechanical digital watches
When was the last time you fixed a watch in Space?
>http://youtu.be/bkwTVxdE23A
Also, the X33 is a flimsy piece of shit
>>54434653
I'm not sure I understand. Someone called a digital display 'floating dial?'
>>54435062
Yep, although im not sure if it was on here or fa I heard it
>>54434634
god damn that's ugly.
>digital
so anything without hands is digital?
>>54435732
There are nicer examples of course, that was just the first on google.
>so anything without hands is digital?
Not necessarily see >>54434590
>>54435759
btw, I've never liked either the zeitwerk or the lange 1
>>54435732
If it shows the time using digits it's digital, the end.
>>54434127
Because reasons.
Any reliable inexpensive analog gmt watches?
Price range is 200-800.
>>54434256
>>54434337
Because even NASA is ashamed of digi-digi crap watches.
>>54436739
Steinhart makes a decent gmt watch. It is in the upper level of your price range
>>54436708
I really fucking hate that shit
You can't market to hipsters that way.
I have honestly never seen a hipster wear a databank anyway, they all wear 300 bracelets on each wrist and an apple watch if daddy is rich enough
>>54436739
I'm curious too. I really like the GMT-Master and I don't really like most other GMT watch designs that I've seen, but I don't particularly want a total GMT-Master ripoff like a Steinhart or Squale or whatever. I already have a Steinhart Submariner ripoff and it's a really nice watch but I just don't like wearing it, personally.
I wish Rolex 1675s didn't cost like $10,000+
So, turns out I'm going thru an oldie phase again, since all week I've been choosing what to wear from the vintage part of the collection.

Same problem here. I just don't want to wear a g shock all the time or resort to wearing two watches. I mean I could use my phone to check the different time zones, but that's kind of why I want to get a gmt watch in the first place.
>>54437133

Would you be ok with a Hamilton (UTC) design??
http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-H77505535-Khaki-Automatic-Watch/dp/B005MSQMPC
I think I handle one of these the other day, and they aren't bad at all. Plus, you still have +100 CAD to buy a cheap hooker and the fact that it doesn't look like a ripoff is another good argument.

Been looking at that just now and I think it looks gorgeous.
Considering it along with the khaki navy gmt.
http://www.jomashop.com/hamilton-navy-gmt-mens-watch-h77615133.html
Only concern is I haven't bought any watch over $500 that isn't from an AD. Does anyone here have experience with jomashop warranty?
There is one small AD near me, but they might not have either of them.
>>54437533
week number? wtf is that shit?
>>54437521
Looks interesting. Never had a vostok before. Will check out reviews.
>>54431531
I am going to return the accutron I got a week or two ago. It was advertised as running, but it will not run most of the time, and when it does there is a lot of resistance. I will probably try to find another one with a similar cushion case.
>>54437768
From the two of them, I'd prefer the UTC, since the dial cooler and less clipped.
You should definitely try going to the AD first. You might get a discount or he may be able to order one for you. I this doesn't pan out, then order it thru amazon, so you're more protected.
>>54437771
Some business use weeks to set terms for specific events. Ex: You must finish all importations by week 32 of the year.

How much did that Strela cost though?
>>54439625
i got both russians together for 300 euros, and the omega for free bcuz its broken. (i figured its a quartz movement so repairing it could be p cheap)
>>54439619
Please take your retardation back to /p/. Here we buy meme watches, not meme cameras.
>>54439649
Well you fucking scored.
That Strela alone is worth about, in that condition and assuming it's fully functional, is worth about 750~800$.
Now i want to go to the local flee market too.

Invicta make dogshit watches and stamp INVICTA all over the case. They also make delightful watches like this beauty.
>>54441962
Not simply, for good reasons.
It's cheap quartz watch, with a shitty cyclops, and Invicta smeared all over the case,dial and bracelet.
Let alone just being another submariner homage.
>>54441991

...or silently judge their taste, depending on their size.

I'm probably going to sell a King Quartz in a very average exterior condition, works fine though, $65
>>54441545
The penis Quartz that people have been talking about are pretty good, because they are Quartz they are very reliable. A King quartz is arguable the most desirable of these you can get them for between $75-$200
Im going to sell one for $65 if you are interested, not in amazing condition though
If you don't get this question answered to your satisfaction ask again, their will be a few people who can help you out

You can get other seiko Quartz for like $30, they are pretty cool. Here is my dads old one

I used to own a SKX007, but the comparison is between the NY0040 and the SKX and has nothing to do with the BN0150 FYI.
Comparison is rather straightforward, the NY0040 wears a lot smaller thus a lot more comfier to wear.
Cosmetically the indexes are a lot nicer on the NY0040, handset is better on the SKX, lume is equal, crystal is better on the SKX. NY0040 bezel's is a lot easier to grip, though the 120click bezel on the SKX is hard to beat.

Out of curiosity: what is the cheapest 1000m diver?
>>54444608
From Ukrainians mostly, since they do all these repaints,reprints and recasing just for some extra shekels. Russians usually sell it as is, as they found it.

Mind poping open the back?
The movement will tell the tale better.
>>54444716
Sorry senpai, didn't mean to give you a (you) for no reason.
>>54444772
Don't really want to open it (mostly because I don't know how and I don't want to damage it)
Back says 117690 if that helps (and that it's water resistant up to 4 ATU)
>>54444839
Not really, unless we see the movement it won't tell much.
The best i could say it's likely a French ebauche movement, so it's anywhere from 25 to 40 years old.
>>54444875
Well I have no idea how to open it safely.
I'm guessing I just need to unscrew the back but I don't have the tools for it and I don't want to try with pliers or knives or whatever ghetto method I'd employ if I didn't care about it
>>54444920
I've ghetto opened a lot of watches with screwed casebacks, but if you care about it then fair enough.
I like how plain the watch looks though, and i guess it should work if you take it to a watchmaker for some proper servicing.
>>54444949
Thing is I have no idea if it's even worth it.
No idea how much it's worth, and I'd have to change the strap too (it's just destroyed).
I currently have an Orient Defender so I just don't know if I'd even wear this one.
I just wanted to get some info about it
How do you open watches like this? Screw? Pull?
Most I've done is change battery and strap on Casios
>>54445016
I removed the strap and springbars, used the rubber grip of an electrical pliers (thick grips) to grip the case where the strap was and apply pressure with a steel tool to unlodge the caseback.
>>54445016
With a screw down caseback like that a ball of duct tape should work. If you can't get it open with that it might be rusted and you should just leave it to a professional.
>>54440466
What a horrible analogy.
>>54445062
hmm yeah I don't really want to use pliers on it, afraid to fuck it up completely, and I'd also like to be sure I can close it properly after since it's waterproof
Anyway thanks
I need to find a watchmaker, I lost a pin on my defender (no Idea how, I was drunk, thankfull I somehow kept my watch), I'll ask about this discovery as well I guess
>>54442057
>punching someone over a watch
Jamal please go
>>54445086
hmm, as I said I'd rather not open if I can't be sure I can close it properly but thanks

I seriously doubt it's waterproof anymore.
But going to a watchmaker is the best idea.

it seems to be a lip tempest automatic from the 70's

Frogman
Pretty sure it can go deeper actually.

math is hard

The Speedmaster Professional is still certified for EVA, which the X-33 is not.
>>54445525
>hurr durr I'm a retard
Thanks for you're contribution.
>>54445634
It easily goes under 1000m.
Look it up retard.
>>54445668
Literally not a single person on the ISS wears any watch during EVA, and it's been that way for a long time. It's considered a liability. Don't fall for marketing
>>54436739
Hamilton has a ton of GMT watches (as long as you're okay with the ETA 2892, which has a jump hour hand instead of a jump GMT hand, which GMT-Master pedants insist isn't true GMT.

Citizen's Nighthawk is tough as nails and has a true GMT movement:

And finally Seiko has a ton of new kinetic GMT quartz watches, which also have a true GMT movement:

I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting a Nighthawk when I got my BM-6400 instead.
>>54445697
You're a fucking double retard. If you're talking about that torture test Casio did, that was way beyond the watches rated depth, which btw ALL certified dive watches are able to do. You're the one who needs to look shit up you fat autistic assclown.
>>54445697
Doesn't matter. You said "certified" and you're wrong.

"So, what makes the Frogman, with its unique, asymmetrical case, a diver? For starters, each one is individually tested to 25 percent beyond its stated water-resistance rating."
200 X 1.25 != 1000.
If the Frogman had 1000M water resistance Casio would put that on the dial because it would be fucking amazing and a huge selling point. They don't because it doesn't.
Who gives a fuck anyway? You aren't going to 1,000m or 200m in your life. Any ISO dive watch is going to far surpass your needs.
>>54445802
You asked for the cheapest watch that goes under 1000m. I gave you one.
And no not all certified dive watches can do that, an analog watch will stop because of the crystal pressing down on the hands.
The frogman obviously doesn't have that problem.
>>54445877
Tested != real life performance
And I know what, this retard above was asking.
>>54445824
You're confusing what I meant pham
Sure the speedy pro was certified before because it was more or less the only watch that was rugged enough.
The only watches that are certified to be brought on the ISS now are a couple of G-shocks, the Timex Ironman and the datalink version of that in the early 2000's and the x33.
Other countries just like the astronauts take whatever the fuck they want actually.
There isn't a single "traditional" speedy in space right now, despite what Omega would have you believe.
>>54445950
>And I know what, this retard above was asking.
I don't think you did. I OBVIOUSLY meant 1000m rated, but I guess autists like you need everything spelled out for them.
>>54445697
>Literally not a single person on the ISS wears any watch during EVA, and it's been that way for a long time. It's considered a liability. Don't fall for marketing
Pic related, marketing-shill and reckless lunatic Yuri Lonchakov endangers the whole ISS by wearing a Speedmaster on an EVA.
>>54446057
>Yuri Lonchakov
Oh gee I didn't realize he was an American and had all shit supplied by NASA
Also it doesn't have to be rated for it to go that deep
http://youtu.be/54CmxcME1a0
>>54441991
>stamp INVICTA all over the case
Just like Rolex :^)
>>54446130
Holy shit, just give up you pathetic sperglord.
>>54445877
1.25 x 200 =250 you dumb fuck.
25% more than the official depth = the official depth (200m) AND 1/4 or 25% of that (50m), hence 250m, not fucking 1000. Jesus am I on /g/ or /b/?
>>54445763
Nighthawk looks cool. However, I've seen one in person and the dial is way too cluttered to have the gmt function of any use.
Will check out the seiko gmts, but I'm leaning towards hamilton due to the styling. Already got in touch with an AD near by.
>>54446234
>Loses an argument
>J-just give up you sperg!!
>>54446249
That was obviously for the idiot who said Frogman goes to 1000m, not the Anon I quoted.
>>54446257
>>Literally not a single person on the ISS wears any watch during EVA
>posts ISS crew on EVA with a wath on
>Literally not a single AMERICAN on the ISS wears any watch during EVA
Yeah, you're totally winning this one. As I said, just give up.
>>54446293
I said NASA, read the post
Also you posed a picture from 2009. Are you fucking kidding me?
>>54446169
Rolex stamp INVICTA all over their cases?
>>54446313
Either you're desperately grasping at straws not to look like an idiot anonymously on an anonymous image board (lol), or you're a legit autismo. Either way like I said just give up, everyone thinks you're an idiot and you're STILL hanging on to your retarded opinion.
>>54446394
I proved you wrong on both counts.
I don't know why you're so assblasted
>>54440156
Ding ding ding!
>>54446394
>>54446447
>>54446447
Except you didn't and got absolutely rekt trying to damage control.
>FACT: Frogmans are 200m rated
>FACT: proper dive watches are all capable of far exceeding their depth rating in a static test (provided they're brand new, spotless condition, with scratchless crystals)
>FACT: Omega Speedmasters are used on the ISS during EVAs (whether it's 2008 or 2016 is irrelevant, watch technology has been the same, EVA equipment used on the ISS is the same)
>FACT: I asked for 1000m RATED which was obvious to everyone, except one autistic indigo child
>>54446563
Calm down autist, it's just a watch
>>54446563
>>FACT: proper dive watches are all capable of far exceeding their depth rating in a static test (provided they're brand new, spotless condition, with scratchless crystals)
That's complete fucking bullshit and you know it. I already explained why
>FACT: Omega Speedmasters are used on the ISS during EVAs (whether it's 2008 or 2016 is irrelevant, watch technology has been the same, EVA equipment used on the ISS is the same)
I was talking in the present, where no one wears the mememaster. Enjoy your marketing.
And no you fucking didn't you stupid shit.
>>54444645
>Out of curiosity: what is the cheapest 1000m diver?
And I gave you the cheapest one that can go below 1000m
Fuck off
So this threads is nothing but /fa/ tier showing up and autists discussing irrelevant shit?
>>54446608
More or less
This thread needs to be dedicated to actual /g/ related watches, while all the other shit can fuck off to /fa/
>>54446608
Sometimes we do get decent discussions, but right now we got one of the two Casio shitting up the thread.
post grails
>>54446633
There's only one casio shill
>>54446663
This and the snow frake. Although I actually plan on saving up for the latter, I don't think the bleu will be in my reach anytime soon.
>>54439832
>>54439850
>>54439914
>>54439951
Pic related is the only G that is decent
>>54446602
>That's complete fucking bullshit and you know it. I already explained why
Pic related, an analog dive watch exceeding four times its depth rating before failing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmqoq3LIDmM
You're a fucking retard.
>I was talking in the present
Nothing has changed since 2008, retard, same watches, same equipment. Don't make me dig through the NASA archives just for one autist.
>And I gave you the cheapest one that can go below 1000m
But that's a diving watch, not a diver. I asked for the cheapest 1000m diver. I want to pay for their sexual services, but not too much. Please, you should take what people say literally, word by word.
>>54446697
Noted.
So we have one retarded shill, whos trying to turn off people from buying Casio?
>>54446706
5600 series as well.
>>54446713
Oh my god you're clinically brain dead
You posted a video of a 1000M rated diver. No fucking shit it's going to go down that far.
You said any diver can by far exceed it's rating.
By diver most people refer to 200m rated watches.
Then you post a video of a fucking marinemaster you utter mongoloid. >>54446713
>But that's a diving watch, not a diver.
It's a fucking dive watch you daft cunt.
It's an actual proper dive computer actually, because no sane human will only use a watch bezel as his only diving tool in 2016
Go fuck yourself you absolute retard.
>>54446749
Honestly more people are posting Casios and discussing them ever since I started "shilling"
There is one or two retards that post the worst g-shocks though
>>54446706
The whole 5000 series is excellent, so are the Rangeman and the Frogman.
Your example actually kinda sucks because it's more than triple the price of the normal 5600 just because it's JDM
Let's get back to posting watches, guys.
44A guts
>>54446663
That Milgauss is just so damn pretty and tasteful. Is it a Model 1019 or something like that?
>>54446776
Holy shit, you don't even get humor. You might just be an actual, real autist!
>>54446821
>it's more than triple the price
fuck it. it's the only watch i have and it feels great on wrist.
>>54446862
>Gets BTFO
>Y-you don't get humor!! I was only pretending to be retarded!!
>>54446835
>Is it a Model 1019
Yes.
>>54446821
>Honestly more people are posting Casios and discussing them ever since I started "shilling"
Mostly because there aren't enough people to fill a digital watches thread, so the few guys who were regulars there migrated here.
I don't mind if you want to do light shilling, just quit trying to become another fucking ecofag.
>>54446835
Might as well, have quite a few to dump. Should we go 1 by 1?
3133, and those chronograph levers are so sexy when working.
>>54446871
Oh don't get me wrong, It's an excellent watch, and if it wouldn't be redundant in my collection I would have bought it. The negative version of that is even better.
I'm saving up for a Rangeman currently, and I really hate that the JDM one is more than twice the price just for an inverted piece of polarizing plastic on the LCD. Fucking importers I swear
So anyway, what's the cheapest watch that has "1000m" written on the dial? Or a bigger number with and "m" after it?
>>54446949
Why does Casio make its watches with cases this big and ugly?
They look like cheap chinese toys.
>>54447010
>They look like cheap chinese toys.
If you're retarded maybe
Gshocks are made that way to be as weather, environment and retard proof as possible
You should get one anon
>>54446938
Raketa 2627 with the autowinder, winding bridge and keyless works removed.
>>54446978
get Casio
>>54447079
I don't think Casio ever went above 300m.
>>54446978
Borealis has a 4000m model, who knows if it can actually survive that shit though.
>>54446835
>That massive fucking hacking lever
Jesus, why? That thing must be a BITCH to engage. Nice movement otherwise, what watch is this for?
>>54446938
This pic reminds me why I love hand-winding movements... just look at all the neat shit you can see. How are these commiegraphs for reliability and durability? 23 jewels is not a lot of bearings to have in something with so many moving parts, is it?
