I like the crystal. The dial is a bit weird though.
>>55244702
Cheeky. What kind of strap is that?
How bad is brass as a case material /wt/? Does it develop a nice patina or does it just tarnish and get ugly? Does it not patina if you polish it?
>>55244747
It is corduroy on top with leather on the bottom.
>>55244754
>corduroy
I can't find anything like it, who made that particular one?
First for kallous klokkes
>>55244781
The title of the ebay listing I got it off of is "NEW AUTHENTIC MICHELE DECO CSX 36 BURGUNDY CORDUROY WATCH BAND 18 mm." I can't find it any more either.
Is the SKX007 still a good buy for a diver? I know there's the newer turtle but the turtle-shaped case looks like dogshit to me.
Any other brands i should watch out for?
Prolly gonna put a Bond nato on it.
Much help /g/.
>>55244842
Careful, there's a difference between dogshit and shit
>>55244815
Neither. kill me
>>55244808
wtf? is this like a factory second?
the cross on the dial is crooked.
>>55244869
Welp i apologize. I'm okay with the turtle shape maybe when i'm wearing it on a weekend or something, but this will be my only watch for now so need something a little more conservative.
>>55244890
You could cut up some old pants and make a strap like that anon in the last thread.
>>55244842
The movement in the SKX007 is deprecated. You should do a search for microbrand watches that use the Seiko NH35 movement of which there are many.
>>55244937
>deprecated
>>55244960
Gotta keep up anon, jeez. Latest and greatest only.
>>55244937
Aren't microbrands with any newer movements lots more expensive than the SKX.
I'm a cheapskate student looking for my first mechanical :/
>no "watch thread /wt/" in the title
one fucking job
>>55244842
Yes. Dive watches are essentially memes, seiko being the most prolific dive watch producer you get extra meme points, its is also the cheapest iso certified diver, more more bonus points here
The new orient Ray is also pretty good for the price. Not as memey though
>>55244751
Interested in this. Any senpai pls.
>>55244269
Alot of the higher end watches make it all out of one piece of crystal.
Some stupid brands even mill a whole case out of the shit.
Not saying that is the reason it magnifies, glued on ones magnify just as well.
>>55244894
Hahaha nice failure to launch.
Are you a newfag or a troll?
>>55244751
>>55245234
It's not good. For one, it's kinda soft. Ammonia in human sweat can also stress it and cause it to crack.
May also turn your skin green from copper content.
Bronze is pretty much strictly better, and that's still just not good. You see bronze on some new high end pieces for the novelty value of being able to patina very quickly, but it's just not as good as steel for a case material long term.
>>55245112
It depends on how you personally define "lots more expensive" I suppose. You can find some in the $300-$400 range.
>>55245173
Sorry. I didn't realize until it was too late.
>>55245314
Thank you, NineBall-senpai!!
My first decent digital watch, hoping for good things.
Should I bother trying to source a bull bar for it?
>>55245724

Anyone know if this has a screw down crown?

>>55244702
why the fuck isn't this thread titled /wt/ ???
>>55246414
It used to be in the first line if the post as well, but at some point it got removed. If I make the next thread I'll re-add that. Or if one of you does then please do.
>>55246111
If that's a monster, then yes, it does.
But seeing that it's only rated to 100M then probably not.

What's a good price to pay for one of these cool 70's Seastars?
>>55245112
Get a scuba dude Amphibia then for ultra meme points.
>>55245724
Enjoy it, I have one and they are great watches. Tough as fuck too.
Don't bother with bull bars, they aren't needed and I've read that they put indentations into the bezel over time.
>>55247414
How's the band on it? I'm considering getting NATO adapters for it too, heard they're not the most comfortable.
>>55247438
enough with the fucking natos already
for crying out loud just stop
>>55247543
B-but comfy
>>55247438
The band is fine, I find it pretty comfy to be honest. It kinda curves down near the lugs which makes it hug the wrist nicely.
Read the review of the Pulsar PW3001 from wus and now I'm interested.

I had to go to a car dealer once and fake to be interested in buying a car for a survey company.
Twice. For cars of different brands. I think I managed to fake at a decent level considering I had never bought a car in my life. The key is believing what you're saying yourself and never for a moment let the insecurity kick in, just go with the flow as though you were really there for that reason, if you don't know something just ask the seller, don't let them see you don't know what he's talking about and you're acting as if you were nonetheless.
Hide your fakeness behind elements of honesty, basically.
It feels pretty bad, though. Thank god I dit it only twice.

Most people aren't fully commited to the George Costanza approach (believing your own lies so thoroughly that you're not lying.)
Most people ask for a card and refer to speaking more to the salesperson at a later date because that's what it literally tells you to do online if you google for how to get a salesman off your back.
>>55249252
I was talking about deceiving them, not getting them off your back.
It's about behaving like what you're saying is not a lie.
>>55249342
>I was talking about deceiving them, not getting them off your back.
I know you were. I was talking about asking for a card. It's a universal symbol for for "no thanks, I don't want it, but I'm too polite/shy/afraid to just tell you no."
>It's about behaving like what you're saying is not a lie.
Yes, that's the George Costanza approach.

I can already tell from the title it's not. I'm not talking about a lie being what, I'm talking about being belivable while you're lying.

It's a good show.
>>55249458
>I'm talking about being belivable while you're lying.
So is he.
>>55249500
No because he refers to the quality of the supposed lie. That's not important for me.
>>55249541
>taking social advice from ninefag
>>55249541
>No because he refers to the quality of the supposed lie.
You're trying to argue with me about a show you haven't even seen. I'm not sure why. It should be very apparent from the prior posts that we agree.
/wt/ - Social psychology
>>55249575
Don't be upsetti, have some spaghetti
>>55249375
Asking for a card was the foot in the door for having this dealer
1.) spend a good 10 minutes looking for the keys
2.) let me sit in their most expensive GTR
3.) have my friend take a picture of me in it
4.) make an embarrassment out of the dealership when the guy told me I could start it up and the battery was dead
So yeah, no please stop making an ass out of yourself I'm too busy being a cunt to dealers cause I'm a bored college student with a taste way too expensive for himself
My watches:
1. Seiko Sportura SNA451

He means he had it restored with original parts, hence, mint. I don't see the problem in that.

What's wrong with the neo turtle?
Any one know where can I fing replacement crystals for a vintage Citizen? The caliber is from the 7800 series but I cant even find the repair manual to check the crystal serial number...
>>55250220
You won't find one for a Cosmotron out of Japan.
Plus, they are harder to find than vintage Seikos.
>>55250277
I'm checking japan auctions but no luck for now either... How costly can it be to make a custom one?
>>55249670
Hot
good analog watch for < 50$ with minimal look and preferably water proof?
>>55244894
We have discussed this earlier.
This is a clock that is used in a radio room on board a ship, indicating radio silence periods for listening to the two emergency frequencies. Not respecting radio silence is grounds for shooting.
Often there are different colours used to represent the two emergency frequencies. That was also shown last time.
Now the 500 kHz frequency is disbanded and reused for radio amateurs and shipping instead uses satellite communication also for emergencies. Being a telegraphist was a fairly good job about 20 - 30 years ago. It is stull used for some rather specialised work.
t. Old Spark
>>55250354
Snk809 or Komandirskie.
>>55250320
You'd be hard pressed to find one.
Even the crystals for my LM specials aren't easy to come by.
>>55250220
youre probably better off getiing a fucked up watch for parts and replacements , rather than looking for a specific crystal.
>>55249771
Not to be a cunt but:
fully restored. ...
mint
Pick only one
>>55250512
Please stop feeding the ugly trolls.
We knew it, he knew it, you blew it
>>55250974
if it's fully restored to stock with new original parts, it's mint, dumbass.
>>55251516
It doesnt matter what its called, its a nice watch idk why you even care and called it mint in the first place geez

Heh heh, boobs.
>>55249771
Did you get a new clutch assembly?
>>55250220
If you thought finding parts for old Seikos was hard, wait until you start trying to source them for old Citizens.
>>55251667
He didn't specify how much. Plus Seiko 5's usually survive dips in water including showers.
>>55252095
Took it to Shane to get it fixed by now or are you too lazy?

Not to talk you out of a Timex, but there are options like the Pulsar that are more reasonably sized, and don't sound like a goddamned cartoon time-bomb.
For those in NYC reminder that the Credor tourbillon (along with some other Credors) is in the Seiko Boutique for the weekend.
>>55246111
Is Seiko going after the Invicta market? Vulgar as hell!
>>55251567
Because it's in mint condition. Geezus, you be thick!
>>55252095
Yeah, Even got 2 new clutch backups with some much needed parts ( like new NOS hands in case that original ones crack the gand cylinders ) that I bought from my watch repair guy.
>>55253769
also, 2 replacement crystals :)

You're cutting off circulation.
>>55253817
The pushers are an annoying thing, but other than that I can't fault that watch for the price(aside from the smiley face).
Ordered one of these Eulit straps for my X-33.
>>55252632
Oh yeah got it back from Shane along with my mom's 11A and my 5216. It works brilliantly now, haven't worn it in a few days but keeps time to about +4s ladt I checked. I'm actually planning to get a new strap for it (don't have any 18mm unfortunately), think a Bond NATO would work?
Speaking of Shane, he has not seen or heard from our fat Canadian friend. I am beginning to fear he may have died of obesity.
>>55253769
Ya dun gud. Since you have new clutches, make sure they never fuck up by keeping the chronograph running at all times.
My Explorer II. ca 2003, 3185 movement.
Busted the crystal once; ended up needing a full service. Sucks mostly, because before I busted the crystal it was running at -1 sec per day. Now it runs at about -3. Maybe I'll take it to get the escapement adjusted if I start feeling really autistic.
Best bang per buck as far as Rolex's go.
>>55255138
God damn my camera is trash in anything other than brilliant sunlight

The Expedition is a fucking excellent field watch. Great if you're an outdoorsy type. Also I don't care what people say about SKX lume, because Indiglo is an invaluable feature at 11pm when there's clouds covering the moon.
I just wish it was a little smaller.

>>55255244
How are the perlon NATOs?
>>55245724
Bullbars are pretty cool but mostly just for looks
The dw5600 ones should fit just fine on the 5610
Also let it charge for a few hours in strong sun and it should stay on H forever if it gets a few hours of artificial light every day
>>55252716
All timex watches have a fundemental flaw
it's impossible to change a battery on them with conventional watch tools. You NEED back plate press, especially for models with 100m WR.
So you're gonna get jewed 15 bucks by a battery monkey every few years.
Go for Casio or Seiko.
>>55256211
Timex is trash, even battery monkeys hate them.

>>55256471
Looks like a Seagull ST17; the same one in modern Rodina watches and probably a lot of other knockoffs.
It'll work, but don't expect accuracy.
I recently rediscovered my grandpa's old alarm clock in the garage. It was still running fine, I took it apart and dusted it off a bit so I'll post a few photos. It's nothing special, but it looks very 1980s and I think it's pretty cool.
>>55257098
Was Lorus not always Seiko's cheap sub-brand? The movement says Tochigi Tokei on it, I didn't see Seiko anywhere.
In any case, these shitty plastic gears have been turning non-stop for more than 30 years now with no sign of stopping.
>>55257116
And one more because I think those flipping numbers are cool.
>>55257128
>>55257116
>>55257098
That looks nice. How loud is it?
>>55257158
The actual clock, or the alarm? It doesn't tick, that black and white striped wheel on the right spins slowly as the watch runs and it makes a very very quiet slow grinding noise and then you can hear a little fluttering noise when the display flips over to the next minute.
The alarm started out really faint and weak when I first tested it, but after a few seconds it came back to life and picked up to a nice awful blaring noise. Now that I cleaned it up that somehow seems to have helped the volume and now it's nice and loud.

Meca-Quartz, friend
Quartz watch that simulates a mechanical chronograph
I bought an Omega for $4500 5 years ago and I regret it, wish I bough the S&P500 instead.
>>55260312
make ethiopia great again
>>55260312
Meca not mega. It's a hybrid movement. The time display is traditional quartz and the seconds hand ticks once per second. The chronograph portion is powered by a separate motor and gears and such which gives it a smooth sweep and instant reset like fully mechanical chronograph.
>>55260433
That's actually pretty neat
>>55260445
You can also check out Autodromo which has some nice looking mecaquartz (or 1000 other affordable kickstarter chronos). Uses the Seiko VK64 movement.

Is a tissot seastar worth more than a parnis power reserve? I'm at a dilemma. What do you guys think?
>>55261263

That really is a hard dilemma.
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue

>>55261263
I wouldn't recommend the Parnis.
And when it comes to lower end divers, Seiko is king imo.
Also, for those who don't know, Seiko has a couple models coming out as a special limited edition with PADI.
Seiko will be supporting "Project Aware," which is about underwater preservation, which is a PADI run program.
http://www.projectaware.org
"We’re focusing in on two major ocean issues –Sharks in Peril and Marine Debris, or trash in our ocean."

Best design of a watch, e-fukken-ver! Nothing came after it that has that something... Beautiful watch!
>>55261805

>>55261805
>45mm
Why are Seiko watches so huge? The SKX013 is the only one I could wear but I don't like the design much.
>>55261972
Because it's nearly square it wears a lot smaller than the case size would indicate.
>>55261972
size corresponds to quality
that's why uboat and Invicta are some of the finest timepieces of our generation
>>55261972
Divers tend to be big. The case shape helps it not seem as big as the number would indicate, but yeah, it's still too big.
If you're interested in solar, they have the SBDN019. Similar to the SXK013 being a smaller version of the 007. The SBDN019 is a 38.75mm version of the SBDJ013, which is 44mm. Same with SBDN017 being the small version of SBDN011, and SBDN015 being the small version of SBDN009.
>>55262031
>size corresponds to quality
>average hublot and panerai representative
>>55262052
I like the design but why is the lume green?
>>55262090
Green lume appears brighter since our eyes are much more sensitive to green light.
>>55262090
Because the green formulas throw off the most luminescence. And seiko is known for especially powerful lume.
Sometimes you get under the shade of a tree, and notice your lume is glowing even in a bright sunny day.
>>55262137
Also, here's the guy comparing number of watches' lume with images, it's in french

They should've gotten the same dial. It would be far cooler if they had gent's & lady's versions of the same watch.
>>55265389
Nice sarb033, my low class dad wants one for himself after having seen mine.

Classy cover for this one.

Why not get a grand seiko instead, if he can afford it?
>>55265462
This book is comedy gold, really recommend it.
>>55265452

Gonna retake this one with the Raketa for maximum meme potential.

Grand Seikos are not being sold in any boutique here in Spain and as a old-school guy in his 60s he doesn't consider buying online. I've showed him many GS models and he loves them though, we may visit some boutique in Tokyo together since we are planing a Japan trip for xmas.
>>55265552
Go to the Seiko Premium boutique if you can,
7-9-16 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0061
It's their own "premium" boutique, and opened like 11 months ago. We'll want pictures.

Aren't Grand Seiko sold in France? Or are they JDM only?
>>55265577
>premium
What does it mean, do they have certain models only there?
>>55265582
They're not JDM only.
grand-seiko.com lists 4 authorized GS dealers in Spain, and one Seiko boutique in Madrid.
>>55265590
I believe it will have certain models that are only sold at that location. Also, a normal seiko boutique will carry all lines of Seiko. The premium boutique only carries Grand Seiko, Credor and Galante.
How much is a sensible amount to pay for one of these cool vintage Tissot Seastars?
>>55265687
A guy in a previous thread said about €150, but I guess it depends on the model.
>>55265702
Cool thanks.

>>55264106
Why'd you steal my pic?
Is treating my latent mental health issues as easy as buying vintage Seikos?

Shalom
The boy, or man per say. A tall, gaunt boy, man. Aquinas was he name, while a named shared a personality couldn't be more disbarred, the discussion of aesthetics drew short below his knees and never reaching his wrist. An ugly thing, no, no. Not ubiquitous to himself, just localised around the collection of bones and array and arteries that you commoners would call a wrist, just like you commoners and unlike the man he was priveldged to share a name with the aesthetic of the collection of bones was lacking. A tall slender build, pale sunken cheeks. He looks vectored down into wrist. Upon it sat. Juxtaposed to his slim, a gaudy piece of Jewelley, plastic combination of unsightly numbers and uncouth sizing. Or what you ordinary folk know as a g shock
G'morning, folks.
>>55253817
Its fine but you over paid about 200 eur/$ for it
>>55266713
Still alive.
Reason for my disappearance will soon follow.

Weren't you joining IDF or something, my bignosed friend?
>>55266683

>Galante
What the fuck Seiko
>>55266984
Hah, don't know the Galante line? It's their avant garde line, paired with decent movements like spring drive. Most of their stuff is way too large to wear.
Most of their recent advertising/image stuff has been pretty fucking goofy. webm related.
I think it's interesting how Seiko's lines have evolved over time. Before you used to see more avant garde and flashy/complex stuff in the Credor line, including my chrono, and the 247 numbers on the original eichi. I think they're pushing credor more towards classy, clean designs, like the new eichi and keeping more of their crazy shit more in lines like Galante.
That's part of why some of the older Credors can be interesting, because there may be a day where people don't think of Credor as anything but very classy, highly legible, simplicity first with precious metals sort of collection.
>>55267077
the fuck kind of advertising is this
>>55267105
Silly artsy bullshit advertising creating some sort of 'deep' image for the line. Probably made by some intern who thinks they're really smart.
You see this shit out of the west too, but for some reason it seems even worse and weirder when it comes from the east. Probably because they have a different take on artsy bullshit that I'm not used to.
