Hey /fa/, I'm thinking of getting a citizen watch. I've never really owned a watch over 50$ before. I'm thinking of something like a nighthawk which is >pic related. I'm a big fan of silver colored bands. Is pic related a good idea?
>>10653550
->what time is it?

not my picture, but you get the point.
an ipod nano within a watch band.
I was wearing this today
>>10653550
>>10653550
Citizen as brand isn't bad but that watch seems too busy for my tastes.
>>10653550
the maximalist watches are awful, especially breitlings
if you're gonna get oyster, get a submariner homage. Pic related is kind of outdated, but mostly solid info.
Of course, my own personal rule is if you're gonna drop money, get something nice. I'd go with the Obris Morgan at the bottom if you don't mind throwing down three hundred.
>>10653081
mfw i have the same watch
>>10653081
Chink haha
>>10653550
The band looks cheap and you can't tell the time by taking a glance at the watch because there is so much going on. It's a shite watch.

Do you guys like these Raketas? Anything I should know when buying Soviet?
I especially like these 24 hour ones but the one with the weird fucking arms is cool too.
>digital
>>10656832
>Anything I should know when buying Soviet?
Those 24 hour ones are guaranteed fake unless it has a 2623.H marked movement. The similar 12 hour ones by the same sellers are fake too.
>>10657122
So basically don't look any further?
They're just all fake?
>>10653081
Copped one for free. I think you can get them for 15% off right now. I like the minimal design.
Does /fa/ know of any stainless steel, silver, or platinum watches with a minimal design, a white dial, and a tan or brown leather strap?
>>10657199
There are plenty of real ones, but probably not with the dials you might be looking for like the one above.
http://stores.ebay.com/samun-povt
>>10657246 here.
Didn't mean to reply to another post.
>>10657248
So what's the deal with the counterfeits? Did they ever even exist? They look so cool....
>>10652999
i'm wearing this ironically
>>10657265
It's a weird situation. Somehow someone must have managed to obtain a very large number of Raketa parts, seemingly cases and 12 hour movements. They must have then assembled the watches themselves with fakes dials and anything else missing. The 24 hour watches also had to convert the 12 hour movements to run 24 hours, which is why official 24 hour movements are identified by a different number on them. Raketa today, after investors revived the dying company, has openly warned of these fake products before, so that's the story *officially*.
However, there's some scattered evidence from the earlier internet that Raketa, or someone impersonating them, was selling watches with the same designs as these fakes, either the same fakes that are available today, or official watches that the fakes copied. Additionally, Raketa today sells watches with designs clearly derived from these so called fakes (pic related). There's also the question of the sheer number of fakes, and the relative difficulty in converting so many movements, which makes me believe they may have created these "fake" watches themselves in times of hardship, or at least sold similar ones.
In general, it's not recommended to support the shady business practices of those sellers and just find something else cool that you can be confident with.
>>10657381
Well that sucks, I really wanted this Red Baron tribute watch that was strangely cool.
Are there any real watches with a similar aesthetic for that price point?
This is actually my first watch besides a Casio quartz, so I wanted something cheap but unique and reliable. Any thoughts on Luch?
>>10655346
how can you fucking stand having that thing on your arm?
every review on amazon says how these are all ticking too loudly and that they suck because of that. I like swatch designs but jesus christ, I can't even wear that thing without it driving me nuts.
>>10657402
That's kind of the thing, why would so many of these watches have German military images on them? As I look into it a little more right now, there are suggestions that disgruntled employees taking off with factory parts to do who knows what with, which can explain so many of these watches. Some of them might be original, but the German ones along with all the others listed beside them as brand new are not.
Raketa of course does sell watches today but far more expensive than their former self. Luch has some interesting stuff like the one hander you posted which is a nice mechanical, but otherwise they're more of a shell of their former sell. I personally love Vostok, they're cheap and reliable, and despite being bankrupted are still mostly intact as they originally were. Poljot was another brand that was around until recently, they had some aviation themed watches for a bit more (Pic related). The modern Sturmanskie brand, but no longer a true made in Russia brand, has some Arctic stuff as well.
Who wanna buy a lil math?
>>10657454
Yeah I wondered why the ussr would make a commemorative German war hero watch, it's just so stupid that there's so many cool watches that are counterfeit. I'll be honest I never really gave a fuck about watches until I decided I wanted one as a Christmas present to myself a week ago.
I think I'm going to pussy out and buy a Timex Weekender if I don't find anything else, but I suppose that's a good first watch.
You sound pretty knowledgeable though, any recommendations for a poorfag?
>>10655097
>>10655097
thanks
>>10657501
Any more specific budget?
>>10657509
Anything up to 75 I'd say.
I like simple designs with minimal bright metals and colors, I think I want leather or fabric for the strap too. (I think it's called NATO but I don't even know)
Like the two I've posted I guess and the weekender.

Vostok Komandirskies and Amphibians are under that, wide range of designs, new or vintage. Some of the vintage Raketas are under that, like the popular "big zero" model. Seiko 5's are popular and hundreds of styles, particularly the black SNK809. Those are all mechanical.
Weekender is fine too, but loud for a quartz. Highly versatile for straps though. Casio has its quartz divers like MDV106, more traditional than any G-Shocks and such, there's some other traditional Casio models too.
Average NATO straps go for around $10, but you can get a bunch of cheapass $2 ones instead and swap them out.
Higher budget opens up a lot more.

Nothing fancy, just an invicta 9310.
>>10657558
I honestly don't get the hype with the Vostoks, they just don't do it for me. Seiko 5 is alright I guess.
I asked for a "semi-pretentious foreign snowflake watch" and somebody said Luch One Hand, I think that might be the best for me. I just want to be a special snowflake, I don't think that girls, even with daddy issues, like guys that wear their father's casual watch.
70 is pushing it for me senpai
>>10653108
ayyyee, same
I fucked up and I regret it immensely. I'd like to sell it, but i'd only get around $400
>>10657588
Father's casual watch meaning vintage?
Well disregarding the usual foreign countries like Switzerland, Japan, and China, there are very few foreign watches that are cheap and not vintage.
>>10657646
No as in the Seiko 5 and weekender are good but the watch equivalent of dadcore.
>>10657664
Well same thing, not a lot of quality unique stuff at that low price. Either Walmart-tier crap, or dig through all the vintage stuff online.
Is Daniel Wellington a good starter watch for a teacher?
Goal is to have a simple, clean watch that will last me. Nothing fancy.
>>10657736
Fug.
Well thanks for your time
>HAHA
>GET IT? "TIME"?
>>10657766
Absolutely not. It's a cheapass Chinese watch that is marked up immensely to sell to suckers. Fortunately, it's popular enough you can find identical knockoffs from China for only like $30, or similar enough knockoffs for only a few bucks, both on Aliexpress.

I don't like those Braun watches. they look too fedora, tool-like and "tech-savvy". you got no lume on the hands and that yellow second hand is really ugly.
that milanese strap seems neat though.
>>10665626
then look for 33-36 mm case diameter watches.
buy lady watches if you have too. some unisex models work too.
What are some analogue watches with simple details and numbers around the face, and ONLY display the time with two simple hands?
As in, it doesn't even display the date, and has a very minimalist design (but not to the point where there aren't even numbers on the face).

It's a good watch and a good bracelet. If you can get it for a good price go for it. Also, it's a true GMT movement where the GMT hand stays steady and the hour hand jumps, like a GMT Master II, but for the price of one of the Rolex's spring bars.

>>10677367
if you get it from ebay or something then you cant really gauge how good it is irl, but if that doesnt rock your cradle then not at all
>>10677367
if youre buying it just because its vintage then thats fedora tier. if youre buying it because its a really nice well made watch then go for it
>>10677404
I would be buying it because they're cheap as hell compared to a contemporary watch. Even the contemporary 'vintage style' watches on groupon that we all know are junk are more than the old ones. The Soviet watches especially seem to be absolutely gorgeous for the price so I can't really see a downside.
First watch i've ever had
>>10657286
I have the same one and it's a legitimately dope watch.
>>10677061
Well then you're in luck. Those German style watches have been growing on me lately, I used to hate them but now I kind of want a Sinn or Damasko.
>>10677367
You have to hunt around to ensure you get a good one for a fair price and it's harder and more expensive to service them. Other than that vintage is great and so many excellent vintage watches are out there.
