I'm buying one after I get paid
It seems like this is mostly an aesthetic watch, the module has a shitty timer and is relatively unintuitive.
You can't have the hourly chime without the button beep for example
>>54672189
>time to check the time in the dark
>pulls out phone
>slides open, time is obviously being displayed
>go to flashlight app
>turn on, there's a clock on the app
>point flashlight at my wrist
>read the time which is about 1 or 2 minutes behind
Mechanical watches sure are great
>>54672189
Post watches and piss water.
>>54672284
>check time in the dark
>the lume of the watch's hands works fine and I can instantly tell the time just by a small wrist movement
What do you guys think of large digital display like this, especially when they're a dot matrix?
I've only owned digitals with more traditional small lcd screens so I really have no idea how I feel about these
>>54672322
Honestly, 99% of the times I check the watch at night I don't even need lume.
Where could you be in the city/home that is absolutly pitch black?
>>54672433
Looks like shit
>>54672243
Why the fuck can't Casio put the AE1200 guts in a case like this?
>>54672434
My place is in the middle of nowhere, and it sucks when we're in a new moon
>>54672537
Because resin > metal in actual use. Also it's how they make a 10$ as good as it is.
Pulsar and Timex make metal cases though if thats what you want.
>>54672582
>Because resin > metal in actual use
You're going to have to explain that one.
>>54672537
>>54672537
not ashamed to say i would buy that immediately if it was produced
>>54672596
More shock resistant, lighter, and doesn't corrode (a cheap digital with a metal case is going to be chromed pot metal)
>>54672699
That watch is stainless steel though
What's the best (and cheapest) place to get a 20mm engineer bracelet for pic related?
It has to fit fat spring bars though
>>54672743
I know, i'm just explaining why casio uses resin.
>>54672750
Why would it have to fit fat springbars?
>>54672765
The watch uses fat ones (the same as the Seiko monster) for some reason
What about this one? Looks pretty sharp.
Talking about digitals, this one looks good, not a plastic case, but not stainless steel either, just brass.
>>54672750
I think Strapcode has a 20mm the ones with the 2,5mm fat Seiko springbars.
Price is subjective, but that's what it will cost for a non dogshit bracelet.
What is the cheapest Patek you can get which is simplistic yet beautiful for both leisure and business? Just curious.
>>54672879
Just curious, is that the Torah?
Are you an orthodox jew? Ashkenassim, mizrahim or sephardim?
>>54673073
Yup.
And i'm just a slav with jewish roots who moved here since life in slavistan was quite terrible.
>>54673025
Calatrava
>>54672876
It's pot metal anon.
Corrodes on your wrist due to sweat and stuff
Again, resin has its merits in cheap watches
>>54672879
80 bucks doesn't seen that bad.
Kinda wish the chinks woupd get on the engineer meme already and drive prices down,
>>54673202
One could argue they did.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-Super-Engineer-I-Solid-Stainless-Steel-Watch-Band-Push-Button-P-/400813228564?hash=item5d52548214:g:uv0AAMXQHU1RwsFp
Cheapest one i could find.
>>54673186
Which is exactly why the casebacks are stamped sheets of stainless steel. Much cheaper than making a full case of steel, but still having a proper corrosion resistant caseback.
Just out of curiousity, how much do prices increase with micro brand watches such as Maison Celadon? I mean of course we're supposed to purchase pieces that we like instead of seeing them as investments, but do micro brands increase in price such as Rolexes and Omegas? Or do they remain/drop in value as they age? I imagine it be hard to say since if the brand dies their won't be many experts to assess the price and will judge it just by the watches value in general, right?
Whats my best option for a cheap mechanical chronograph?
>>54673564
3133 bruh >>54672879
Otherwise lot's of vintage Swiss pieces that are floating about at the same prices, but they would have a hard time to be as torture proof.
>>54673564
>>54674073
Dogshit
>>54673332
>how much do prices increase with micro brand watches such as Maison Celadon?
topkek
>>54674120
Fuk u
>>54674183
>literally being of no use to my question
So I'd take it by your reaction, and judging by the fact that brands such as Celadon only use SB-18 movements in them, the increase of prices are not drastic whatsoever.
I made my boss made the other day by coming into work with this watch on. She's even madder because it's one that our company sells so it's okay for me to wear it to work.
Will I ever get a F.p. journe for 3000€?
Please don't answer ;_;
>>54674373

>>54674373
That's adorable af

First watch into space was a Tag based on a Breitling.
>>54676166
First *Swiss watch
Rolex GMT has been there too. In fact, who hasn't?
>>54676075
Speedy pro is either hesalite or sapphire
>>54676166
>implying those filthy Russians have the ability to go the moon
What watch hasnt been in space though m8. The moon is the holy grail
Anyway, a speedmaster is a decent Swiss chronograph, with arguably the most interesting history ever from a wrist watch. Plus I personally think it looks very attractive
>>54676214
I'm not sure about the speedmaster, but there's still an accutron 214 on the moon right now.

B-but if I also like vintage japanese watches because they are cute and will fit my bitch wrists. But I can't freeze them in solid blocks of ice or drop them out of a 4-story (building) window and expect them to work.
>>54674446
NEVER!!!!!!
>>54676074
Easy bitches
>>54676075
Acrylic is a pro.
Convince me to get something other than a Breitling Navitimer. I just can't find anything I like nearly as much. I find the Rolex offerings boring. Zenith aesthetics just don't do it the same way for me.
This is now my grail.
10/10 perfect watch in everyway
>>54676517
>>54676518
Get this shitty bait out of here
>>54676415
well im looking for my first watch. Maby into the 350€ range. I love the seagull 1963 design with the domed crystal glass. Any suggestions?
>>54676517
>Convince me to get something other than a Breitling Navitimer.
It's a Breitling. That's even shittier than Hublot.
Lurk more in Zenith catalog, I bet you'll find something way better.
>>54676518
10/10??
Do tell.
>>54674446
I remember lawyeranon mentioning a journe somewhat similar to the chronometre bleu for around 5-6k, but it was limited edition. No idea if they're still available though.
>>54676517
>>54676466
Haha, what do you do to require such ruggedness?
>>54676517
Omega speedmaster, Rolex submariner, gmt and explorer, Tudor pelagos there is heaps m8

I think I saw that post too, but he was referring about a 15-16k used Byblos. You won't find a Journe below that price, unless (maybe) it's beaten to shit.

Why is Breitling shittier then Hublot? I hate Hublot.

Rolex has a really wide array of watches, give a look at all of them
What is your budget? Please don't let me influence your opinion very much, set your price range of chrono24 and have a browse
>>54676729
Ohhhh, is this to your taste? It's a good watch for the money, good movement in it, nice bracelet and nice finish
>>54676033
>no date function

There are so few watches that get the date complications right that I'd rather not have it as a rule that's rarely strayed from.
Where to buy out of production watches besides ebay?
I'm trying to find a pepsi/blue dial Citizen NY2300 but its not showing up anywhere. Do I just have to stalk ebay?

I got the winder inexpensively, and I don't even use it. I just put the seiko there because it does not match the rest of the watches as the crystal is not domed and it is larger.

That's a really expensive way to spell "I have shit taste"

What watch maker is going to make the watches that have MARS time on them
>>54680635
As interesting as that might be, they'd probably wear a watch that uses Earth time synchronized with mission control. The people wearing watches that have Mars time on them will be nerds and watchfags back here on earth.
>>54680660
You think the Martians will just use digital timekeeping?
>>54680713
You mean quartz?
If it's anything like the previous astronauts the mars module, or whatever they end up calling the thing they're living in, will keep time that way. And then they'll also have watches either mechanical or quartz.
You have 10 seconds not to make me buy a jaragar chink watch on Aliexpress

That's not that high of a percentage compared to other items, it's actually very normal. Clothes are about that percentage, you have to pay for all the marketing, sponsorship and what not. At the end of the day it the premise of luxury, you see it in fashion all the time, you pay for the design and concept not the material cost. If it was a more obtainable price for the average person they wouldn't be lusted after so much

Wow, you're still trying to convince yourself? It's just getting pathetic.
Morbidly obese guys like you aren't getting laid because of an expensive watch. You take care of your body first, then you can get pussy wearing any wristwatch. Why do you think attractive celebrities wear Casios casually?
You really want to buy something to get pussy? Buy a new Ferrari or Lamborghini. Women know that any poor loser can save up for a watch, but very few can afford the cost of owning a supercar.

>>54684053
Much easier.
Vostok Amphibia, Orient Ray II or Mako II, Seiko's that have the 4R36 movements (Like the Monster and SRP series).
Depends on the circumference of your wrist though. Since a lot of people who post here have bitchwrists.

I have a Bulova wall clock from the 1970s, inherited from my grandmother. Itkeeps absolutely dreadful time, and for a long time I thought it was because it needed a new battery, until I figured out that the clock is mechanical and the battery only powers the chime.
>>54682112
>>54682059
Most people in my office only have a vague inkling of my interest in watches. I get them posted to me, but nobody really cares too much, nor do they try to talk to me about it. The few who do tend to have dogshit; a bunch of coworkers have Apple watches and are constantly trying to convince me it's better because "you can change the face". The idea of a watch being powered by anything other than a battery is totally foreign to them. My boss has a TAG Heuer and tried bragging about it, it took every ounce of effort for me not to say "you paid $3,000 for an ETA 2824, you idiot".

Go for it m8, I own one and its quite okay, gotten a few compliments over it.
Though when I bought it, I didn't know the existence of Seiko SARX series, you might want to look into that too.
Is SGW100 anon here? How do you like your watch m8?

when does a watch cease being a watch?

Honestly, I liked life a lot better back when I did manual labour out-of-doors. I was in much better shape, I genuinely liked my boss and coworkers, and the idea that work took absolute precedence over your personal life was nonexistent. In the end, I get paid more now, will probably be able to have a more comfortable retirement, and I can wear my watches to work without fear of having them break. But the flip side of that is I work with drab, boring, passive-aggressive and overall bloody awful people who are all in a contest to see who can put in the most overtime rather than who is most productive. Almost makes me want to go back into contracting.

IMO the SARX is noticeably superior to the SARB, unless you're pining for an Alpinist and/or have bitch wrists you may as well pony up the extra $200 for the better case.
>>54686764

It's like a $75 difference
New Watch picked up today
>>54686553
when it doesn't show the time.
>>54686851
Should've gotten the 36mm version - or better yet something else that isn't shit.
>>54685550
Nice try Decepticon
>>54686851
I sincerely hope that cost around $5 on Aliexpress.
>>54687059
They don't come up on aliexpress anymore.
Since the site is trying to be a bit more clean and official they are beginning to respect copyright claims.
So no more MVMT's and DW's sold at their actual worth.
Now THIS is a grail

mine arrived a couple of days ago - about what you'd expect for $3 or whatever it was
>>54682480

Right

So they just removed the DW from the naming.

I'd say right, but look at the drag mark on the dial. There was some dirt that was dragged by the minute hand and you now have a scratch from 10 to 2 o'clock.
>>54687844
First one was for >>54687612
>>54687844
Yeah I noticed that too.
There's others of them available that look better but I just put this one because it's from the same seller.

Wat? Really? What kind of movement are these people using?
Hey /wt/ can you buy a vintage Omega movement for $14? I kinda did today, only it's a watch with the Tissot version of the Omega/Tissot 1481/2481. Pic not mine, mine needs to be repaired as I bought it for a restoration project.
>>54687114
>G S P
What is it for?
Some sonnerie setting?
>>54688264
Grande - Silence - Petite
I'm assuming.
Is the new listing on Meranom for a crown just the regular one without their weird cover?

>>54688321
Seems so.
>>54688092
Well, have fun with that.
Is there another cheap diver similar to the skx031 with the same quality?
>>54688433
>with the same quality?
you mean complete shit for poorfags? yeah plenty
>>54688433
SKX013
>>54688461
Yeah but of the same level, nor inferior, neither superior.
>>54688297
>Grande - Silence - Petite
>I'm assuming.
My dick is now hard.
>>54688473
Yeah, no, that's like the 007. I don't like the design.
>>54688538
You're that same fucker from earlier threads. Though you won't find a 031, despite the fact there is 4~5 new listings for ones on eBay :^)
They are almost the same anyhow.
Why is Seiko not producing a mechanical manual counterpart to this?
Fucking why?
It looks far more gorgeous than those ugly SARB.

>>54688704
Somewhat reminds me of the SRP701.
Minus the date window.
>>54688704
Smooth sweep?
>>54688704
ARR ROOK SAME
>>54686831
Not in Canadia.
>SARB033 is $400
>SARX013 is $600
At least the last time I checked.
>>54687893
I had a Bagel do this to me. After attending an event where people clappeda lot, I noticed that it started running an hour fast per day.
>>54689314
Those aren't real dollars
>>54689314
you were in a different timezone you stupid fuck
It says on the Amazon desc that the case is stainless steel but I recall someone here saying it is just painted plastic.
So what's the truth?
>>54689503

its shit

Probably more accurate than most mechanical posted here :^)

If I wanted accuracy I could google the current time with millisecond precision
Accuracy is not the point.
