First for the magic is gone, /wt/.
Budget 49€
Must be mechanical
Should look clean (like Orient)
What buy?
Also fuck Rolex, they are ugly and worn by mobs here
>>54636970
But now you are free from the burden of awe and can focus on aesthetics in general without placing anything on a pedestal or looking down on others of lower price.
>>54637175
Too bad what you posted is hideous dogshit.
>>54636970
Rolexes are just very good tool watches masquerading as luxury goods. Now you know the truth.
>>54636970
49€ won't get you very far, vostok/hmt/bagelsport are the only brands that come to mind

Both will look fine on brown leather.
>>54637336
Please tell me you stole that pic from Reddit and you didn't actually pay six million shekels for an Edifice rep.
>>54636970
Most Rolexes are nothing technically amazing, but are extremely well made and will last a lifetime or more if correctly serviced, which is why they appeal to a lot of people in a world where most products are poorly made, cheaply produced garbage.
>>54637379
I bought it today. In house movement, beautifully crafted swiss avant-garde

Wait a second, is "Swiss avant-garde" really how they describe themselves? KEKKETY FUCKING KEK, I though Archie made that up in the video I just mentioned.

>>54637336
I love it!
>>54637946
Said no one ever.
If lawyerfag sees this, is it worth getting the engraved balance cock on the Imperial? I'm worried it won't look right since it'll stand out from the silver movement which takes up the majority of the aesthetics.
>>54638009
I'm not him but I have a feeling the 14 ones made tp sell are already sold out.
>>54637629
I got one of those Seiko I linked you from that store, everything cool and it has a 1 year warranty.
Keep in mind that price is for the cheapest shipping method and no watch box, if you're ok with that, go ahead.
Is this a good deal for 70 bucks?
I actually prefer handwinding over automatic because I won't wear it at work.
Will probably replace the strap.
>>54638776
It seems one of these guys saw one of my old pics.
Does anybody know if the Seiko Astron series watches are any good? I kind of like the timezone feature, but not sure if it is worth it. (I also prefer a watch with additional dials, just for appearance reasons.)
>>54638797
Do you think it would fit well on a shark mesh?
>>54636721
AW FUCK MAN I forgot to name the thread
>>54639281
I don't think so.
The chrome or titanium-nitrate plating will look weird with the steel mesh.
Amphibia's have polished steel cases, plus you can handwind them despite them being automatics. Thickness wise they are very close.
>>54639420
>plus you can handwind them despite them being automatics
That's all I needed to hear, thanks.
I originally asked for input on this one for 109$ so I'll probably get it if I cand handwind it.
How easy/hard would it be to put a leather strap on a sk809 seiko5?
>>54639594
can you tie your shoes?
>>54638797
The red and blue looks ugly
Why?
>>54639612
I am very new.
Can I take it off? Does it have a spring or something
>>54639581
I think somebody on last thread said it, but it's a good price for one.
The bezel is 32.50 on it's own. Got one from this seller on the way and if i'm already going for the mesh might as well go for the aftermarket bezel.
>>54639594
Piss easy, but if you're asking this question here you're going to struggle.
>>54639642
Yes and yes.
Changing a strap is foolprof thing.
Just be sure to get a 18 mm one.
>>54639642
G O O G L E
people still wear watches?
>>54639642
yes but you'll need a springbar tool. Some watches, it's easy to remove the springbar without a tool, but not the Seiko 5 (in my experience)
I have one of these, Grade 1 (highest) Chinese Standard Movement watch from the 70's. What strap should I put on it? I have the factory metal bracelet but that's worse than an Amphibias. I wore it on an admiralty-gray nato today, but I think it deserves a leather. I'm thinking black, either glossy lizard, or satin croc. I don't think brown works with this dial at all.
Also how do I re-chrome at home? Mine is a bit more beat than pic.
No idea what watch it is, but it's old Russian one. And no elektroniczne at all, just mechanic, and that pure sound... Ahhh, masterpiece
>>54639691
Fcking Google keyboard, I meant electronic parts... And it's from 70s-80s
Does /with/ like my Festina
>>54639686

I haven't seen on of these in a while. How's it running?
Also dark brown leather, either buffalo grained or smooth.
>>54639691
Doesn't look like slav design, dial tint suggests 60's and abused.
Put a proper picture of the dial.
>>54639735
>How's it running?
Interestingly while the exterior is kinda beat, the movement is clean and running great.

>>54639900
That was a very comprehensive review, thanks!
>>54639752
Looks that you have some pitting on the case, so i wouldn't recommend re-plating that.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1/1884015732.html
What could possibly go wrong?
>>54639968
So what should be done with it? Can the pits somehow be touched up with chrome to not be so obvious?
>>54639968
> ugly commie shit
why is this popular?
>>54640013
it's not, it's just a /g/ meme
>>54640013
>>54640028
Stop samefagging.
>>54639996
Ideally when fixing pitting in brass, you would need to buff the brass up to the same depth of the pitting, polish, smooth it out and replate it.
>>54640028
You wish.
>>54640102
Not an option, it would ruin the case. Any way to just chrome the pits, like with those plating pens?
>>54640081
u wish faggot.
Can't decide between the Amphibia 090 and 710 case style. What is the general accepted meme style?
Shit on me.
>>54640132
I've heard of people soldering some kind of filler, like hard silver and then plating it. I've soldered hard silver once in the past and it was a bit annoying to work with. (Much more used to soldering tin or Gold)
But at this point you're almost better off sending it to a company/watchmaker that does it.
>>54640167
710 is neat, but 090 if you really want to trigger the autists.
>>54640172
I know you don't wear that Soki in public.
Otherwise melt that Invicta and you're not doing too bad.
>>54640172
if you saved up your money you might just have just had enough money to buy a decent watch.
>>54640172

I've been wearing the Soki for the last few days.
>>54640639
What are you even trying to say?
>>54640530
Well i ain't.
I've soldered electronics and welded lots of copper pipes in the past, so i'm not an expert in filling and plating.
Either way if you're going for a semi-homemade solution you'd have to smooth it down and likely go for something like nickel plating. Since the chrome plating process is toxic.

I don't know what you expected.
>>54638776
No, it's not a good deal.
Also, the automatic Vostoks have handwinding too. Those aren't mutually exclusive.
>>54639995
It would be pretty good without the subdial.
>>54640172
That Invicta doesn't have a GMT hand, does it?
>>54640172
Are you Canadian?
>>54640641
That rubber strap looks great. I probably like it better than the bracelet.
>>54640717
It's mostly camera angle, yeah, juggling a Nexus 6 one-handed and battling the shitty auto-focus is a bitch.
Too dark to take a photo now, but I feel its borderline. I think it photographers a bit larger than life.
>>54641099
Camera distortion makes it look a little bit bigger, but that seems way too big.
>>54640945
Yeah, the metal bracelet doesn't work with those lugs.
>>54641149
Perhaps a tad? I really do hate my skinny wrists.

It's kind of like an oversized IWC portugese chrono but aesthetically confused and not nearly as aesthetically pleasing. The others look so atrocious I won't comment on them. Wouldn't all that money combined give you like a used Patek, Breguet or Rolex + Zenith El primero?

i dont like the way the case sort of flares out under the bezel though on those =[

>>54638890
The aesthetics are somewhat questionable, and they are very large. Even the newest, smallest, ones are still huge.
But the technology is very good. How much mileage you'll get out of the feature, but automatically adjusting for all of earth's 40 time zones is cool.

To whom are you going to turn whe you look for true horology? Swatch Group? Festina? LVMH? Seiko?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>54644080
Independents.
Literally all of those except LVMH before Richemont too.
>>54644110
>Independents
I supose you think I shit money?
A simple three hands watch from an independent can sell for about three times what JLC, IWC or VC will charge you for it.
>>54644080
Swatch actually has some very significant stuff under their umbrella, like Breguet and Harry Winston. Kerig has UN. And I wouldn't dismiss Seiko.
And of course as mentioned, independents.
>>54637403
Last I checked there were some fags on this board with 50-year-old Seikos that probably didn't cost an arm and your first born child when new.

>>54644063
This thing looks EXTREMELY cook, and the chain of jewels is a neat idea, but I'm sure the servicing requirements are just absolutely horrendous.
so who has the most expensive watch in this thread?
>>54644485
Probably lawyeranon. His chronometre bleu alone is a 20k watch, and I'm sure he has more expensive stuff.
received paychecks. Finally gonna buy the sbdc025 after I put the money in the bank. Thinking of getting a nato but are there other good options? first watch purchase over 25 dollars.
42mm bezel, 6.5" wrist. is it borderline?
anyone have experience buying watches from lionseek? where should I buy used watches?
http://www.lionseek.com/watches/brand/seiko?seller_id=-1&has_photo=true&category_id=watches&limit=22&page=1&q=sbdc025

should I just buy from amazon instead?

>>54645783
just googled. holy fuck. that's some complicated stuff right there.
I know I come off as a philistine, but how does AP stack in comparision to A Lange & Söhne and PP in terms of horology?
do you have a pdf, website, or book for the history of horology?
I'm only getting bits and pieces of info on watches and I'm afraid of meme misinformation.
also opinion on the sbdc025 and how it may fit on my skinny wrist?
>>54639735
Works great. I got it from my grandpa, it's for sure Russian clock, there are cyrlic words on it.
>>54645891
AP is and has been quite impressive. Even if the large amounts of rapper/athlete-tier crap they've been making a lot of money off of is a little distracting.
>>54645891
IMHO:
AL&S and PP are at the top
AP, VC, JLC and Breguet are at second place
IWC, Ulysse Nardin, Zenith, GP, Blancpain and others are 3rd
Rolex, Omega, Glashutte Original and bunch ohers are 4th
Oris, Longines, Corum are 5th
etc.....

>>54638009
>is it worth getting the engraved balance cock on the Imperial?
Yes, of course it's worth it, even if that adds a different color to the movement.
However, as the other anon has already stated, that series has already sold out, so it may be a bit difficult.
Still, good luck.
>pic related, mine
>>54646230
mememariner?
>>54646134
budget?
>>54646059
That sounds about right. Maybe some little misplacing, but I do concur that AL&S and PP are top notch.
However, I do think Lange is somewhat better, since they'll put the exact amount of effort in finishing their entry models in a manner as good as their big complicatiions, while PP may not really, really, invest the same amount of effort.
Still, both are unchallenged among non-independent manufactures.

From that list, based on my own experience, I would only move both Girard Perregaux and Corum to the 4th position, but that's about it.

>>54646857
Are you referring as to how the mainspring doesn't unwind?
If so it's the click pawl that stores the energy and slowly moves the gear train.

>mfw the most autistic thread of /g/ is actually welcoming and helpful
>>54647792
If it's a genuine question we'll answer.
Though we've got a couple of shitposters on the loose.
>>54647810
so I'm watching a related video about seiko
and turns out the tick tock fork has been replaced by an electromagnetic brake?
does this mean it's silent?
>>54647840
Well, that's the Spring drive. It ain't cheap for a reason.
Silent, 72hours PR, highly accurate, and has a fully smooth seconds hand.
>>54647862
oh ok so cheaper watches like this seiko 5 >>54641278
still have the fork?
but I saw the second hand is continuous not discrete
>>54647876
I don't quite follow as to what you're refering as "fork".
If it's the magic level system then yes, even the cheapest Seiko 5 has that bi-directional winding system.
Seconds hand beats at 21600 BPH (beats per hour)
>>54647896
>level
magic lever system..
Coffee isn't working yet.
Anyhow the seconds hand at 21600BPH isn't full smooth but it's getting close to it. The higher the beatrate the more smooth it appears.
>>54647896
>>54647919
I am sorry, I mean the Pallet (?)
this one
I mean, it's this piece that is replaced by the quartz e.m brake, right?
the cheap watches like seiko 5 have a pallet instead, if I understand this right
>>54647946
Yup.
Pretty much most decent mechanical watches have the traditional pallet escapement.
There is also a thing called pin-pallet, but i'll let you find that on your own.
>>54647956
it still baffles my head how can they jump from 50$ to 8000$ but I'll leave that for another day.
Thank you very much.
>The reason we say that such coloration is mainly decorative, especially the color red, is because many colors fade as you dive under the water and light wave frequencies stop at various levels of depth. The aBlogtoWatch team - which includes a few divers - notes that the color red disappears at about 20 feet, thus rendering it all but invisible unless you have a light with you.
top kek
>>54647970
I mean there is a certain amount of "People will pay it so we will make it more expensive" in most luxury pieces, that's kind of the definition of a luxury good.
It's kind of hard to find a happy medium with watches though, especially if you want to retain value, Maybe Sinn and Damasko but that's still a grand minimum.
>>54647970
>>54648133
oh also there are watches that cost way more than 8000$
>>54648145
yes I was comparing specifically with the "average" grand seiko spring drive
>>54648081
>>54648081
whats the joke here
>>54648194
that you get an ugly RED/BLUE 20min stripe on your dive watch because >muh decompression times
but the reality is that if you actually dived, you'd realize it's useless because you can't see the red underwater (20 feet)
people who wear dive watches at desk jobs are the joke.

nowhere in the sentence does it state it is referencing the bezel or provide any context as to which part it is referencing. could be talking the dial, hands, etc

A concept that can be translated further to cars.
A 500$ Subaru lunchbox car will work for what's it worth, a 500$ car. It'll get you from point A to point B, not exactly fast nor will it be comfy.
When we approach the prices of something like brand new Toyota corolla you get a highly reliable car with some comfort, decent motor power, and all the bells and whistles.
Now when you get to the point of 80K USD Mercedes's you get to of the line comfort and luxury, lot's of engine power but they will need constant servicing to jew people out of more money. Money these people have, but regular people don't. (A.E Co-axial escapement servicing)
Up to the point of diminishing returns, watches and cars, are worthwhile. Afterwards the concept of luxury kicks in.
>>54648291
And yet, I understood.
And so did >>54648207
What does that tells you, potato head?
>>54648331
oh, believe me, I know what you are talking about.
I am typing on a 230€ keyboard :)
>>54648291
If you remove the bezel, it's not really a "dive watch" anymore, because a "dive watch" now pretty much is a "watch with a bezel with duration markers on it".
>>54648354
Fair enough.
I'm enjoying one of these 10$ Lenovo "IBM look alike" keyboards.
Liquid and cat proof.
>>54648354
>230€ keyboard
If you buy it cause it prevents you from typing stupid shit, it doesn't work, or else, you would never admit something as rock-fuck stupid like blowing 230€ on an idiotic keyboard.

what is the point at which it's worthwhile, right before diminishing returns starts in cars and watches
>>54648576
it is personal.
For me,
300$ watch
40k$ car

are you the same stupid from the divewatch?
What he said is that some people here are filthy rich and some are piss poor
he said nothing about opinions
>>54648534
Everest and Rubber B are the only 2 manufacturers that make a fitted strap for those models. Rolex have the Oysterflex that comes with the Yachtmaster, but not sure fits other models and at around $1000 it's stupid money.
I went for Everest as i prefer the aesthetics and flexibility of the rubber.

>>54648631
The problem is not my job or understanding. I prob can drop a grand on a watch, or maybe 1500, but there are people here that either shit money or strugle to pay basic needs. Economy is messed up, it's all I'm saying.

>>54648666
Not lawyer, but I like photography also and you can see the O and A in Omega are out of focus in comparision to the other letters. That'ts because they are on a lower level, so I guess pretty deep.

Just looked $225 is definently less than gen.
You obviously liked it or you would have taken it off again.
I think ill get one in the near future to keep my original in good condition.
Did you get the buckle version? I think the one using the diver clasp looks like cancer

Yeah, rolex don't make a Gen rubber strap for any of their models except for the Yachtmaster. There are quite a few threads on various forums about them, have a read and see if it would suit your needs. Get the buckle if you do.
This just came in today. My first medium-high end(?) watch. Pretty happy with it, looks better in person than in the promo pictures.
>>54648845

Can this be bought from anywhere? How much would it cost?

also are you a negro

No it doesn't, it looks great.
No, why?

I'm talking about one with engraving just like that. The basic Milgauss looks like shit.

Okay nvm it's like $36,000 and one of a kind. Not going to be able to get that.

After watching a few of APs ads they do have higher production value than most other brands, but they don't feel super fitting for $50k+ watches.
>>54648985
It really doesn't.

And it still looks like shit

Just someone who likes watches and has enough money to spare on more expensive ones. I think he it's better to wait him to answer that better.
Your Invicta is hideous, no offense.

He is a lawyer (duh) that apparently has shitloads of money and buys really expensive watches. He posts here often, and doesn't brag about having more money than everyone else or makes fun of piss poor commies and Seikos.
He's cool.
He already posted ITT.

lol that's taken straight from google, i can't afford one. And it would certainly look better on my wrist.
anywhere in the UK to buy an Amphibia?
I don;t want to get shat on by customs ordering from Russia or Ukraine
i've looked at a billion options for a new watch and always keep coming back to this one
might as well buy
>>54648659

don't be a stereotype
>>54648510
Toyota Corollas are sort of penalty boxes. Buying a new Corolla over a $500 Subaru is sort of like buying a new Seiko 5 over a poo2loo special for $1.
Camry/Accord is sort of your 6R15/2824 grade.

Typical Jews, honestly
>>54649412
Good to know.
Got a bit too used to my dad praising the Corolla. We don't have any of the newer Accord (Post 2009) models around and with the Camry models being non-existent here i was kinda biased.
