I'm thinking of maybe picking this up next time I'm at Costco for food. Not sure how I feel about the plastic band, though. The blue accents on the watch itself look kind of fun, but without going full-retard like the colorful G-Shocks.
>>55100197
First for analog.
>>55100651
I literally just bought pic related.
I would really reccomend that you go with the top range of the protreks
An ABC watch without solar charging means you're gonna be changing batteries every 6-8 months. Also the PRW looks better (imo) and uses the version 3 sensors.
You could also go or the prw 3000/3100 which is a more modest size but can't be worn on a nato and only has 100m WR.
Say what you will about Casio watches but they make the BEST ads for them

How do I find good vintage seikos on eBay?
>>55100651
I picked up a GW9400 which is a very similar watch in terms of functionality and I'm loving it. It's a bit thicker than the PRW3500, but it also doesn't have that silly rotating compass. The band on mine, which I'm sure is similar, isn't too bad at all. It's easy to clean, too, which is nice.
>>55100753
>>Three dates why
>>55100854
How are you liking it?
>>55100876
True.
>>55101563
Persistence.
Just do an advanced search.
Do it at least twice a day for a month.
You might find what you want.
>>55101750
Didn't come in yet sadly
I don't think the bezel is silly. It helps with map navigation.
The rangeman is a pretty cool watch but the design doesn't right for an ABC watch.
Also the compass display sucks
>>55102073

Memes!
>>55102062
>>Didn't come in yet
Hope you get it soon. Waiting is the worst.
>>It helps with map navigation.
How? Really, I can almost certainly guarantee you'll never use that silly spinny disc as an orienteering tool.
>>the design doesn't right for an ABC watch.
Means literally nothing...
Just say the design isn't right for you.
>>the compass display sucks
If you can read a map, the display should be perfectly legible. Besides, if you have a map, you should have one of pic related in your bag with your map. If you need to ballpark your direction, all you need is the sun and an analog watch displaying the local time. If it's nighttime, of course, there's Polaris.
>>55100854
>can't be worn on a nato
good.
>>55102404
Casio will never get their heads out of their asses and make a version with a SS case and a standard lug width
Oh well..At least Seiko has my back
>>55102532
Forgot pic
>>55102490
Because you can orient the bezel to mag.north and line it up with a map. It's pretty fucking useful
And the compass display sucks on the rangeman because the bearing directions are confined to that tiny circular display.
I like the rangeman dude, chill. I just think the protrek models are better at being ABC watches.
>>55102516
Implying anything can beat a comfy NATO, especially in rugged situations
>>55102557
Calmer'n'you are
>>Because you can orient the bezel to mag.north and line it up with a map
But it already has a digital compass.
And if you're just using the bezel and nothing else, literally any round object is just as useful, provided you indicate where "North" is on said object.
Just embrace the real compass.
Be honest with yourself.
>> the compass display sucks on the rangeman because the bearing directions are confined to that tiny circular display.
Actually, with the compass function engaged the entirety of the watch face is utilized. Your bearing in degrees is shown where the time usually is, the time is displayed in another section, and your bearing in N, NW, NNW, etc., is shown in yet another section. These are all on the display at the same time as the needle in the circular display which, again, is perfectly legible if you can read a map.
What watch would you wear while you commit suicide?
My vote goes for this, seems perfect for the job.
The bracelet is strechy too so it wont be uncomfortable when your arm swells
Is there a new version of the watch guide, or is the version 4 still the latest one?
>>55103085
I'd pull the crown out just after I went through with it so they could easily establish the time of death.
>>55103115
Still v4
>>55103195
I don't think anyone could read the time on that abomination anon
It does give them a nice motive for your suicide though, by wearing it you could skip having to write a note.

Can't agree on the aesthetics.
I personally prefer the protrek readability and similar styling to suunto models minus the shitty battery life of suuntos.
>>55103464
Is the STN display really worth the extra 100 bucks over the 3500?
new to /g/, do smart watches belong here?
my asus zen watch does this annoying thing where after i hang up the watch doesn't go back to its default screen. it keeps the options for the call up. i have to swipe to clear it everytime.
>>55103689
They dont
Is everyone here cautious the way you wear your watch while out and about like not trying to bump or scratch your watch while moving about? How do you mentally process this? Or is everyone just service their watch and polish it?
So everyone who i was talking to about getting a basic kit for replacing links/pins and general watch maintenence this is the kit i bought.
Some tools seem to be better quality than others but for $15 it's agood investment.
Once I'm more confident i can spend more on tools
>>55103689
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
>>55103805
I recently got a set without the case holder for $24. I'm jealous.
>>55103784
I've been wearing watches since I was a little kid learning how to tell time, so maneuvering without smacking into things is second nature at this point. The rare occasions that it does get knocked then whatever shit happens, it's a watch not a piece of fine art or something.
help me out /wt/
i'm visiting in a bigger city that has a NOMOS retailer and they only have tangente 35mm with a sapphire display back
i want to buy said watch but there is a version with a solid caseback for 200€ less
should i just buy the more expensive version now that i have a chance to buy it "live"
>>55103888
I crawled for hours looking at all the different ones before i settled on the cheapest with the most tools on ebay. Was cheaper than even the chinese fleabays
>>55103988
How often do you tell the time by looking at the back of the watch?
Save 200 for another watch and get the steel back one.
>>55103670
I wanted it all in black with positive dial which is why I bought that model.
STN display is really nice, crystal clear, great readability. Doubt it's worth an extra hundred bucks.
I have a friend who works for a distributor and and got me the watch for 180aud. I wouldn't have bought the watch at all if not for the hook up.

This watch costs $1.65 Million USD. Just goes to show that money can't buy good taste.
>>55104191
Ill be honest, i hate those over crowded square skeleton "watches"
Just opened up the hmt janata that I got to try and fix the +1s/d. It's wasn't all that dirty. Looked as if the movement was brand new. The retaining ring was disgusting though.

I've ordered an AliExpress Nomos clone:

And, as promised, I'll post pictures.
Watch was around 8$, came via China Post Registered AirMail within a month. Watch was protected with bubble wrap, no other means of protection.
>>55104882
Overall nice and simple bauhaus look.
>>55104882
Nice chink "nomos" detail on the buckle.
>>55104882
Nice blue handles.
Can't notice any chinese looking paint job mess-ups.
>>55104882
Front view
>>55104882
View of the crown...
The crown turns in all direction without any feedback. If you pull it out, the watch stops and you can adjust the time.
>>55104882
Not much detail on the back
>>55104882
Detailing on the strap... says "genuine leather".
It's not much, but it's better than Vostok straps.
>>55104882
Here it is on muh hand.
Apparently, the strap was made for our american fat-wristed friends, as it has plenty of holes.
>>55104882
And here it is compared to my Vostok Komandirskie. Thanks for reading. God bless.

Ill stop buying reps when they stop putting $15 miyota's in $500 watches
So the first thing i have done with this kit is open my slava to see if i can get the date wheel working 1/2
>>55105419
nomos doesn't use quartz movements
>>55105452
I was half successful, now i can change the time and the day ticks over, unfortunately date is still fucked.
I did find however that the 'serviced' watch i bought from yuri is full of muck.
So it may just be the crap is stopping the mechanism from working properly (i can get it to work sometimes)

And back together for now, until i am more confident about getting it back together if i pull it apart fully and clean it.
Here it is next to the guinea pig watch that josef donated to me, and the pooloo oris i bought thinking it was an old genuine (has the correct oris movement in it and doesn't look Ganges tier so may be an ok casual watch)
>>55105503
No my beef is with skagen, danish design etc.
I think is good though he posted the fake so we can see the quality and differences to gen.
I will be posting my fake mvmt next to a real one when i get it so people can see what $120 difference looks like.
Will be interested to see how close it is

>want to buy rubber or nato strap
>afraid of allergy reaction
>read the guide
>they are relatively cheap
Have any of you got allergy reaction from strap sold by those listed sellers ?
>>55105715
They use silicone mostly.
The more expensive ones are vulcanized rubber.
Are you allergic to any type in particular?
>>55105741
As far as I know I don't have any kind of allergic. However I know my skin tend to be more sensible than average person, so I wanted to know if they contain some allergen substance or that can irritate the skin.
I bought this little lesbian watch expecting it to be much larger than it is. I'm looking for a new one now, any recommendations? I really like nylon straps.
>>55105878
Woops forgot picture.
>>55105821
Is probably more likely that the skin cannot breath and gets irritated.
If you get one and have a sometimes reaction take note of the temperature when it happens.
Most are silicon so you shouldn't get any allergies to the material but sensitive skin reacts to heat/sweat as well as being covered for long periods
>>55105901
That's good to know, thanks.
>>55105889
You want bigger?
Try this one.
Not exactly a lesbian watch but still pretty gay, so you should be able to pull it off with the right pink shirt
>>55105935
That is disgusting. I meant that I wasn't expecting it to look so lesbian before I bought it. I hate how the thing looks.
>>55105953
It's the watch we all had when we were 7 what did you expect a g-shock?
>>55105986
I just have very large hands and the watch looks stupidly small on my wrist. It didn't seem so small in all the pictures I've seen of other people wearing it.
>>55105889
Try a GW-M5610 G-Shock.
>>55105935
Not gay enough.
>>55106020
I would prefer a more circular shape. Something analog would be cool. I would really like to be able to put one of these on it.

Why doesnt Shinola try to make a mechanical movement?
>>55107500
It's an old hand-wound Seiko of some kind. Maybe a Sportsman? You can probably find them on eBay for under $100 if you look carefully enough. Probably would not want something like this for daily wear, though, since the water resistance is probably shit to begin with and completely gone now. Will likely also need servicing after you buy it.

Fuck, the name is eluding me. A blog to watch or hodinkee has an article on it, it is in their affordable vintage section. I recall seeing one of eBay priced for $400 Australian, not sure if that was a competitive price though
>>55107674
they're a meme fashion brand run under the guise of being All American. If they were $200 cheaper they'd be worth it.
>>55108252

Are vintage russian watches on ebay my best bet for a good simple analog?
>>55108252

This isn't a Lord Marvel, it's a dead simple, dead common handwinding Seiko from the 1960s. I can see several on eBay in the $150-$200 CAD range.
>>55108824
No worries, they are super mod-able too. I've swapped the bezel insert & bracelet on mine but you can change almost the entire watch.
Can someone recommend some cheap, simple, small, light quartzes?
I have a pope and a terrorist but I would like something less meme-core for those days where I don't feel like wearing a 10mm tall mechanical.
>>55110316

>>55110352
I forgot to specify, I'm looking for analog.
>>55110368
I've been eyeing this one for a while. Looks pretty good irl, it's like a quartz Seiko 5.
>>55110368
Also with Casio the MTP-line has a shitton of simple, cheap analog watches in a large variety. For example this is solar, on a nylon strap.
>>55110399
>>55110455
Thanks, I think I might get something like that.
Do you know how the bracelets are? I assume nothing fantastic given the price, but are generally rattle-y?
>>55100854

>Buying a 20 dollar compass
You can get 10 chink ones for 2 bucks that work just as well.
Why did you go for the orange one over the other colors?
>>55110521
The rule with low end casio bracelets is that they're comfy and wont pull hairs, but don't feel hefty like how a nice bracelet should.
The mtp watches all have standard lugs though so go nuts with aftermarket stuff
>>55110871
I like Suunto & would gladly pay $20 for it vs. a Chinese equivalent. However, this one was given to me.
I got the orange pro-trek mostly for the black rotating bezel, the silver bezel just made the watch look much larger and domineering. Plus it was super marked down when I bought it.
>>55108718
Is a common chronograph design, can pick up similar for $50-$50000 depending on how much you want to spend.
Just search chronograph in ebay
>>55110399
Got this one in my watch list on fleabay. $45 is a good price too
>>55111628
I've seen it irl and it's a great-looking watch for the price with a great sunburst dial.
The place I work at has a supply of Casios so if any of /wt/ wants to know if a specific model looks good or shit irl they might have it and I might check it out. No G-Shocks or Pro-Treks though. Pic related, I really like the looks of this one, though I wouldn't pay this much for an only 100m diver.
>>55111793
What do you mean "only" 100m? Like 99% of divers won't go much deeper than 30m, much less even 50.
>>55112143
You wouldn't actually dive with a 10 BAR watch to 100meters, as they're not meant for diving.

Few questhinz
For someone who works with his hands in tight spaces,will it snag alog/get in the way?My current f91 doesnt but then again its flat af
Are the straps connected with a propitiatory system?
(unrelated to the g-chock specifically)
Do quarts movements run significantly slower or faster depending on temperature?
>>55112219
Yes, it's big and bulky
The lugs are only 16mm so anything but a G-Shock strap will look retarded
They do, but not significantly (i.e. it's unnoticeable and almost unmeasurable in the real world).
Anyone have an RGM? If so what do you think?
I'm thinking about getting one. But I'm waiting for the entire thing to be made in-house. As far as I can tell, some models the case is in-house and some the movement is in-house, but they have yet to make one that's 100% in-house.
Got this in the mail today, how did I do?
>>55112264
Depends what you consider "in-house" to really man.
A "true" 100% in house is something they will probably never accomplish, because they would also need to found a lab to start making their own crystals and jewels. But for now I believe the biggest pieces of movement production they are missing is balance wheel and hairspring production. Which is not surprising, considering how difficult making those are.
They've been responsive to me in email. If you're curious about their plans for future in-housing their production you could ask them.
>>55112258
cool
thanks bruh
Which one? I still can't decide.
>>55112213
That's only what they want you to believe.
>>55112449
They're just covering their ass because they know a certain percentage of their watches fail under pressure.
Just because a particular watch manages to be submerged to or below its rating doesn't mean much.

So, how does it work as a...well, watch? Time ticks properly and all that? I imagine it would be more accurate than the real thing as it's a quartz.
Definitely interested for that price.
>>55112405
>jews and crystals
Ok, I meant 99% in house. I'd be fine if they got those somewhere else. I'd be ready to buy once everything else is American made; movement, parts, case, even screws. Call me autistic, but for some reason I'm fine with the jewels and crystal being outsourced.
Though if they ever got too actual 100% I'd buy another one.
They're by far the closest to 100% right? I know Weiss is trying for an all American watch too, but they don't have a moment yet.
>balance wheel and hairspring
They getting close? I was reading about them testing some designs with the company that helped then make their first movement, but haven't heard anything since.
Sweet, good to know. I'll send them something.
>>55106089
...to pussy :^)
>>55112589
How about everything in house except the movement - which they import in parts from Switzerland and assemble, modify, and adjust in-house? Weiss Watch Co. does that.

>>55112726
Doing the movement yourself is the hard and impressive part though. While far from trivial it's much easier loading up some CAD software and milling out your own case.
>tfw it left Russia today
Hopefully I have it by the beginning of next week.
>>55112726
>>55112865
Yeah, the point is to have a decent American movement. That's one of the reasons why I like RGM so much, lotta history in Lancaster.

I got some bad news for you senpai.
>>55112449
>>55112502
I had one of those 7T62 Seiko chronos as a kid. It was rated 100m but was not a dive watch (Tachymeter bezel, no screw down crown). I used to swim with it regularly, and, being the dumb kid that I was, operate the stop watch under water. Nothing bad ever happened. No moisture, ran perfectly.
Speaking of Seikos, the Emperor finally answered my prayers and I found someone selling a complete disassembled 5246a movement. Time to make the KS hack again.
>>55113071
>Time to make the KS hack again.
Would you be so kind as to enlighten a plebe?
>>55112502

>>55112425

Save up a bit more for a PAG240 or a proper protrek 3500/3100
>>55113179
You don't know what moving the goalposts mean.
Would you wear a Steel G-Shock?
>>55113199
All I want is a thermometer and compass. I don't need any other sensors. Plus I couldn't deal with wearing such a massive watch.
>>55113244

>>55113244
>>55113282
>>55113286
What's wrong with it?
>>55113255
You're gonna be changing batteries a lot then.
You should really go with a proper ABC watch or a clip on compass on a regular digital watch.
if you don't mind a plasticky watch the Lad Weather Sensor Master is only 40 bucks and it's a pretty good ABC watch with better battery life.
>>55113339
Why do you keep pushing that POS lad watch? From all of the research that I've done the SGW-100 has great battery life. Of around 3 years (coming from Casio and actual owners of the watch). It's not like I am going to be using the thermometer and compass 24/7. Fuck off you stupid shill.
>>55113371
Because for a few bucks more you can get a much better watch
It's your money though

I don't have my fingers crossed friendo, but I'd like one. 10 year I'd wager there will be one.
In the meantime I'll stick with my 40s Hamilton.

And in the 70's they thought we'd be living on the moon, and driving flying cars.
I honestly don't see it happening. They're on the same tier as China when it comes to watch movements, copying mediocre swiss movements poorly is the best we can expect.
>>55113545
Yeah, but we didn't already have flying cars before the 70s.
American watches were the best in the world for a long time. There's growing demand and the tech is there.
The only thing that would hold it up is American businesses being the typical American businesses we know and cheaping out/making it all about marketing like Shinola.
>>55113642
Now I'm not saying that I don't want it. But if you were going to start a watch company. Having your watches made here instead of Switzerland or Japan is basically a marketing decision.

Works fine. It's a quartz movement, not a shitty Seagull, so it keeps time just fine. You don't obviously get "clickaclack clickaclack clickaclack" of an automatic movement, and the watch is pretty light (is that even a bad thing?), but overall it's fine as my dress watch.
I like my Vostok, but it clashes sometimes with my clothes, and I'm not even /fa/ tier. Just a month ago I was at a funeral... this Nomos clone would have worked fine, but I only had my Komandirskie, and it was kinda out of place.
>>55114638
>clickaclack
It's a watch, not a horse.
Tick tick, man.

>It's a quartz movement, not a shitty Seagull
Some shitty chink quartz movement is not really much of a bragging point over a seagull movement.
>>55114851
I noticed that too. I assumed it was ironic.
How am I supposed to use those watch check apps?

What is their purpose?
>>55113090
I posted in a previous thread about a 5246-6010 King Seiko I bought on eBay that was missing a hacking lever, and asked if anyone knows where to find a replacement. The 5246a is a hacking movement but the seller thought it wasn't. The lever was apparently lost during a previous service by whomever he bought it from. Pic related.
>>55115184
It just helps you set your watch (since most phone clocks do not display seconds by default), and log differences to actual time for each watch you own over whatever period of time you desire, and calculate time lost/ gain per day. Then you can regulate your watch or tell your watchmaker "my watch is losing 20sec a day, please regulate".
>>55100197
what do you think, is it worth 140
>>55115184
>>55115300
It also allow you to note the position and temperature for each period measured. For example, I noticed that my Sinn tends to gain more time resting crown up and lose more time being worn, compared to resting dial up, after a full handwind.

Okay. That watch check app has zero instructions. But wus seems to bring it up a lot
>>55113244
if you want a steel cased g-shock, this is the only correct choice.

I won't bother with this one.

Will we ever get an official movement upgrade to the SKX? I don't like the turtle case.

since you offered, can you give your opinion on this one if you have it at work? casio EF-503D, specifically the white dial version.
>>55115940
Ok dude, justify your shitty purchase however you want.
>>55115708
it's a little too simple looking for my taste.
should have bought pic related.
>>55115953
I'm happy that i'm only justifying it for you

Citizen has truly achieved the pinnacle of watch design.

>All of the features are useful and viable
At that point, why not just use your phone?
It looks horrid.
>>55103814
yes lol
>>55116005
mostly because i'm a total nerd for watch design that includes a ton of functions i find useful.
Hey I just bought this does anyone know what the lug width could be? The eBay seller didn't list it. It's a Vostok.
>>55112219
Mine (the GW9400) is really tall and will get in your way. You also can't put other straps on it unless you get adapters. It looks dumb, though, and won't really make the watch any slimmer.
The F91 is 8.5mm thick. If you are looking for something that would hold up better, I guess you could check out the GW056. It's 11mm thick, so it'll be close to what you're used to. I think it's the thinnest G-Shock they've made.
Temperature can affect quartz accuracy, but not significantly. Pic related: One of my more accurate quartz watches.
>>55115339
Just get a fitness tracker.
>>55115997
I have that watch
>>55116832

>>55115209
I still can't believe you didn't try pulling some eBay Jew move to try and get some of your money back. Especially considering you paid good money.
>>55117443
Thanks pal
>>55112755
You are totally correct, I regularly swim 5000m deep on my way to work and having to take off my 300m diver and put it in my pressurised briefcase sucks.

Buy it and tell us what you think anon
We need more variety here. There's the same watch on a bracelet but it's a bit more expensive

Sure but not that specific one though because I don't like ana-digi watches.
>>55118270
How would you deal with the size though? Thats a 50+mm watch.
>>55115952
Looks like a Speedmaster
Too many digital watches
You're grandparents didn't suffer through years of poverty and arduous journeys to prosperous lands to have there grandchildren wearing digital watches and posting on a Venezuelan prostate massage forum
This is me /g/. Am I a fucking pleb?

Fuck man. I used to have one of these when I was a kid. Gift for my first communion.
Damn.
>>55115339
Can i say no?
Rate omega pls
>>55118330
I'm a big guy. There might still be a slight bit of overhang though.
>>55115434
You set your watch to the app time EXACTLY
Then each day the app says "check your watch" and you hit the record time button on the EXACT time the watch rolls over that minute and the app shows the varience in seconds so you can tell if the watch is running slow or fast
>>55118469
Try taking a better picture where there isn't a bunch of glare so we can actually get a good look at it.
>>55115708
A bit complicated but at least it will be decent quality.
If you like the look of it and the price seemed like a deal then you done well
>>55118504
This one has more natural daylight,still shit tho. hard to take good pics with a shitty phone kek
Just picked this Zodiac up. $400. Seems pretty solid for the price. Modified Seagull "Swiss" movement. Love the old Sea Wolf look case.
>>55112755
When I hit it big on the pennies in Vegas that is the watch I will buy. So fucking sexy.

I'll look around, but no promises.
>>55113487
As an actual sgw 100 owner I completely agree. If we needed a meme let it be a casio not some unknown chinese brand. If not for quality's sake, then because most normies still know what Casio is, but if you mention <shitty generic brand> they all go thinking 'oh, too cheap for casio'

just a standard calf leather strap.

Parts LM special has arrived, but no case wrench so i can't really pop it open.
Looks pretty good though, the dial is definitely salvageable.

So my amphibia has problems running overnight and sometimes even stops during the day.
Which reasons( except for the price) are there to buy a new amphibia (~60 usd) over a skx 007/009 (~230 usd)
