Do you really want titanium? I'm not a fan of it personally, it's kind of dull and more tool-looking than stainless and it scratches really easily. If it's a Miyota quartz movement then that's nothing special at all by the way, they make most of the generic movements for chinese made "Japan movt" watches.

>>10624465
I like titan because of its leight weight. it's anti-allergic and non-magnetic too. some people just defend it going by these traits. if polish and finish is nicely done, I see no harm in it and it won't look like a dull tool. not sure about that model though but I guess I like it. that watch is only 60 Euros anyway. not disagreeing with your opinion on miyota movements, I just never owned a watch with such a movement. I usually have any seiko type movement when I occasionally wear quartz.
>>
>>10624547
The 316L stainless used in watches is also nonmagnetic and has extra low nickel content so the allergy risk really isn't very high unless you're already allergic to nickel. You're right that it's lighter though, I guess it's just personal preference over whether you like titanium or not. By the way Seiko makes a lot of pretty nice titanium watches and they're also mostly pretty cheap, if you want more options.

>By the way Seiko makes a lot of pretty nice titanium watches and they're also mostly pretty cheap, if you want more options.

thanks, I'll look into it, even though I'm not that picky. in the end I usually prefer Seiko anyways. the Boccia is a brand by Tutima and I just wanted a cheap daily beater for more variety and see what those are like.

How much does it cost to mod a watch.

I'd like to try replacing the hands and the face on a SNZG13 to give it a cleaner more sinn like look

is it difficult ? Or too expensive to bother trying on such a cheap watch.

are there any other options for something that would give me the look for about a similar price
>>
>>10625012
The hands and face would be marked up if you bought the pieces individually. Still shouldn't be *too* expensive. The job itself is pretty simple, I've done the same with several Seiko SKX divers. The skin in your ear makes earwax. I might sound a bit biased with my meager experience, but I think most people can do it.

Make sure you purchase decent watchmaking tools. Stay away from the sub $10 toolkits that you find on eBay and Amazon.

All you need is a pair of steady hands, a clean tabletop, and decent watchmaker tools to do the job.
>>

vintage watches shouldn't look vintage

field watches have that similar look, they only call it piolot because they want the breitling and the bell and ross fanboys to drool over something actually well built for a change.

it's one of those things where i like the formal properties, but would feel like i'm wearing a swatch. gimmicky, a bit childish. and then i'd start to nitpick things like the numbers, which feel like they need refinement. and every time i looked at it, i'd like it less and less. and eventually i'd toss it in a drawer and never touch the thing.

feel similarly about raketa's big zero. except i don't have any real issue with the dial. i'd just feel completely autistic wearing it, and would tend to feel similarly if i saw it on anyone. (a graphic designer could pull it off, but he or she'd also look like a total tryhard because of their lack of subtlety.)

I wouldn't say under rated at all.

Just get the 5007-04 or the older but just as good 5001-14. you don't need the annual calendar and the watch looks just as good. Plus the annual calendar looks really clumsy on the Portuguese with the fucking "annual calendar" slapped on the face.

>>10629796
They do. It comes with the Rose Gold face.

But I get what you mean, my favourite thing about my 5001-14 is the Rose gold numbers and face that makes it stand out more.

How does one determine if a vintage watch is fake or not?

Depends on the watch, and you gotta take it apart and see the movement. Then there's the whole franken movement factor if you care about that.

Omega speedmaster is beautiful.

The 368 seems to go for less than £1,600 new here in the uk. Speed master I wasn't sure how nice of an example I'd be able to find for that price or how confident i would be in knowing I was getting a really good deal second hand.

I've never heard of the Damasko chronograph before however it's a sexy looking watch.

The thing that puts me off the sinn is not being able to try in on in person first
>>
>>10628737
That particular model has been on my radar for some time now. I would definitely cop it for the background story on why the watch is designed that way (the hands especially). Would make a great story for icebreaking sessions.

I don't like automatics much either although I own 2 automatics, I still prefer the more accurate time tracking in quartz, batteries or not, just for convenience.

besides, that SARB033 costs almost €300-€500 on amazon. fuck that. you didn't point out any advantages about it either.

the huaweiwatch looks interesting but it's still not smart to buy a smartwatch based on the horrible sizes (nothing for skinny wrists males or females) and shit battery life. great, another faggot device I can charge up at night just so it runs during the day. smartphone defeats the purpose of owning one as well.

Okay /fa/, it's crunch time (well, next week some time).

Have to make a decision between these two Rolexes:

14060M (Submariner no-date, two liner)
16710 (GMT Master II, Black bezel)

I prefer these older models to the swollen ROLEXROLEXROLEX chineserussianarab-bait of the new ones if anyone asks. A lot on here like them so whatever enjoy if you want the look is just not for me.

I've been eyeing the no-date sub for a while. I love the simplicity of the two-liner dial, the lack of that date window and unsightly cyclops which ruins the simplicity of an otherwise perfect dial design.
Lugholes are a plus as I change straps often.
It's a classic, and pretty much the originator of a look that's been copied to death. I always prefer the original.
I don't dive, but I swim when on holiday etc.

As for the GMT, well, the GMT master was probably the first watch I ever saw that made me want to desire a watch. I must've been about 8 or 9 and it was in a shop window when I was on holiday or something - it was two-tone and very shiny so that's not exactly relevant to this current decision. That desire isn't strong now, but I do travel a lot and have family and business at many different time zones. (not that this is really a concern in the day and age of the smartphone).

Is the ND sub just too simple?
I just figure, since the cost is very close, that with the GMT I get more complications. More "stuff" is always better than less "stuff"?

But the classic relative minimalism of the ND sub...

Any anons own one or the other that would like to weigh in on a decision between the two?

Any opinions?

14060M. Now if it was between than and a pepsi 1675 then that would be a tough one.
>>
>>10635127
Thanks for the reply.
Any reason for your preference? (for the 14060M).

As for pepsi bez, well I kinda like the coke more.
>>
>>10635167
Well I think the 14060 is the best looking of all the subs. I'm just not a fan of all the dial text and the maxi cases and the ceramic bezels and stuff, I think the older subs are much more elegant. And then I really only like GMTs if they have a pepsi bezel, I guess because it reminds me of Pan Am which my dad used to work for.

>>10634974
no d8, m8.

have always found the cyclops disgusting.

also prefer 1406's bez.

just a no brainer in my opinion, unless you have a boner for complications.

You can remove the cyclops, it's just adhered to the crystal.

However, it's stupid, because you'll kill the resale value. I don't think any good watchmaker who really cares about his craft would do it either.

Fag
>>
>>10638435
No. That guy hurt my feelings and now I'm going to derail this thread with my inane bullshit.

Which reminds me, I've got a vintage Orient diver which needs a movement overhaul. The watchmakers in my area are charging $150+ for the service. For an Orient, with such a simple movement that does not require replacement parts, the price is outrageous. The watch, however, carries a lot of sentimental value. I'd like to have it ticking regularly again.

My question is:

Does anybody here have any experience with watch servicing shops online? Should I attempt an overhaul myself, or maybe even a movement replacement?

Sturmanskie 'Gagarin'. It's a Russkie pilot-styled watch from the late 40s, early 50s.

They're easy to find on eBay, but it's hard to find a non-frankenwatch specimen.

It's a pretty cool watch but it does look a bit autistic. I think it's interesting and nice but some people will think it's lame. You shouldn't cop it if you don't want to stand out.

Also, I have the Raketa moonphase and it looks and feels rather cheap. I'm guessing the copernicus will be similair, so I wouldn't recommend wearing it to anything formal.

You act like this kind of hand display is something new, or even worse, that is somehow unique to affordable watches.
The one-hand timepiece has existed as a wristwatch at least from the 80's and today we have gorgeous high-end examples of this fashion as well, like pic related.

Actually, now that I think so AGAIN, I might just pull the trigger on one, it would be a nice addition to my collection, but I'm in doubt regarding this "second generation" design. (pic related)

How does /fa/ feels between the first one-hand Speake-Marin and this new version called "Velsheda"?
