This puppy should be arriving tomorrow. I've never been much of a fan for green watches, but something about this one just convinced me to go for it.

The pic is from last Saturday.
Was just strolling around and enjoying some fresh air and searching for some mushrooms to make soup.
>>51409447
The more you know. I did see some british people, they were talking about David Lynch.
>>51409475
Changes too many details from the original. If you disregard it being a moonwatch 'reissue' it looks pretty decent.
>>51409484
MEMeS technology
>>51409527
why aren't you pointed down range
>>51409524
Sounds nice. Mushrooms are top tier eats. How's your 5 holding up? I still haven't worn mine too much.
>>51409530
The only differences I've seen are the logo and the ugly "262 KHZ" on the subdial, aren't those the only ones ?
>>51409555

>>51409621
Maybe I'm a grill.
>>51409612
The subdials are different, same with the indices, and some other details you can see just by comparing the two. Obviously the movement is completely different too.
>>51409574
Mushrooms are indeed top tier, but these particular ones i was looking for only appear when it's very moist and sunny.
My S5S is holding up quite well after a couple years as a beater. Accuracy while worn is excellent (+3/secs per 12 hours), but when not the accuracy is so so while it unwinds.
>>51409636
Those are man's hands for sure, but they are very well cared for.
>>51409614
don't be stupid
>>51409674
>appear when it's very moist and sunny.
Psilocybe semilanceata? Those are not for dindins, friend. My 5 only gains a couple of seconds a day, that precision will probably start to decline.
>>51409701
o-ok
>>51409738
Is there any advantage in having such a small rotor, or is it for aesthetics only ?
>>51409738

>>51409807
Make the movement thinner.
Disadvantages are a reduced power reserve and less inercia driving the automatic system.
>>51409807
Yes and also because if it's small you can put it inside the movement instead of on top of it, so it makes the whole movement thinner. Pic related, Hamilton/Buren thinomatic.
>>51409807
Flatter movement I guess.
>>51409794
That case looks good with nato. I wanted to get an SNX80x field watch, but unfortunately they're pretty much extinct on the market now apart, from some disturbingly overpriced leftovers.
>>51409862
>disturbingly overpriced leftovers.
Hear hear. I'm looking for an old Seiko chronograph, but all I can find is overpriced frankenwatches.
>>51409845
And now Hamilton is shit.
>>51410014
Yeah, mostly. And so are Omega and Longines and Tissot and Blancpain. I wonder what these brands all have in common that has made them all a shadow of their former selves?
>>51409794
It's from the Suillus family. They add a very oil~ish taste to the soup.
And when precision on the Seiko 5 deteriorates (which can take anywhere from 5~10 years of usage) it's best to toss them in the drawer in most cases.
But from what i know, as long as you run it every month or so it'll be fine for a long time.

My first mechanical was an SNX809 I bought back when I was in High School. Loved that watch, but unfortunately it had the dreaded "B" revision of the 7S26. After the hairspring fucked up for the third time I just retired it to a desk drawer. I've recently thought about swapping in a 7S26C, or possibly even a 4R36 if it'll fit.
>>51410189
Seems so.
This was the other option i dug up.

Price isn't so bad, and since i remember you from a couple weeks back asking about the same watch i guess a lil bit more won't matter.
But for slightly more shekels you can get an SNZ~ series Seiko 5S like (>>51409311,>>51410078), which is vastly better.
>>51410271
Meh, by that price range I could just get a Marathon, which is the real deal for field watches.
>>51409311
>>51409374
>>51410300
It's at least 50$ more then the Seiko 5S, and were talking about a quartz movement.
Also found this model~SNKN25K1, might fit your bill.
Where do you get oiling charts for old movements on the Internet? Specifically old Arogno.

Hello from a noob here. Where do I find model number on my watch?
I have an old Jaquet-Droz. Only thing that I can find on the back is 18k 0.750, under that there's 1112 written, and on the left a number 105.
Google gives me nothing. It's an old watch with golden case and leather stripes.
>>51411093
Yeah but specifically where in Canada?
I'm in Toronto and it's 11 degrees and raining now. My fucking ski season will be ruined at this rate.

Talking about reissues I only found out today that Seiko have reissued an updated version of the fairly iconic Giorgetto Giugiaroto designed 7a28 chronographs that were worn in Aliens. They've done a fairly good job but there's a few annoying changes, there's only two pushers (the original had 3 and the crown), they needlessly added a date window and the sub seconds register has been replaced with a pointless 24 hour indicator, all thanks to them using a 7t12 movement. Still it looks pretty similar to the original and is available for about a third of what the originals now cost on eBay.
![IMG_20151017_192451919[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IBEWVJN.jpg "IMG_20151017_192451919[1].jpg")
>>51411515
>>51411434
The 18k 0.750 is for the gold content. The other numbers could be which number watch you have out of how many were produced. Definitely need pictures to figure it out for sure.

I really should do the hydro mod on my terrorist for some dank sink diving. I have no idea what oil to use though, that won't eat the case or the module, and will actually keep water out. WD-40 maybe?
>>51411592
It says water resist right fucking on it, it's good enough for a proper dive to 30m, sink diving may be pushing it a little but it should survive. If not, it's a $12 piece of shit watch, who cares?

No, surprisingly submerging it in 3 inches of water wasn't a problem.
>>51411659
You're so lucky to be given a Rolex for free, it's worth about 3K?
>>51411669

>>51411652
>>51411640
It may not even have the model anywhere on it. If you know the year it was produced you might be able to look through old catalogs to find it.
>>51411750
Is it a fake though? I never heard of a white F-91W apart from fakes.
>>51411712
The usual, Japan only, fuck you.
>>51411750
well it's a custom model so considerably more
My F-91W has survived swimming, showering, river rafting/swimming, daily work wear.
I don't think a sink full of water is a threat to it.
>>51411808

They know that there will be demand for it and they only make 3K and Japan only.

"Let's make it a limited edition and available only in Japan!"

Your watch is from the 60's or 70's and is unrelated to the Jaquet Droz of today. Quick and dirty history lesson from articles I read. Pierre Jaquet-Droz made clocks and pocket watches in the mid to late 1700's. A group resurrected the name in the 1960's and made middling quality watches until they were killed off in the quartz crisis. The Swatch Group resurrected the name again in 2001 to manufacture luxury watches.
>>51412022
Thanks dude, i'll try to research more.
>>51411093
>I took a photo just for you, leftie.
Y-you did?
>>51411401
Always.
>>51411532
>>51411712
They only made 3000 grey and black. I heard the news 15 hours after release and at that point they were all gone. It seems you can still get some in Japan.
>>51412115
If you pop the case back off there might be more information on the inside and/or on the movement itself you can use to research. It's just a snap on case back, there are plenty of videos and stuff that will show you how to get it open and closed.

Hey /wt, one of my good friends is in Japan right now, he's going to be visiting Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo. He's going to have a few days cordoned off for shopping so I might ask him to drop by a thrift store to see if he can grab an old Seiko of some kind (a 44KS, 6138 or something along those lines).
Does anyone know of any stores in particular, or somewhere that may have a list of good bargain places? I know these Japs on eBay must be getting these watches from somewhere.

Hey /wt/, Im looking to buy a watch in the <2k pricerange, <1k preferred. Im looking for a watch with an interestesting movement,dial or history, like a chronograph or a snowfrake-like dial. I've been looking to Seiko's 6138/9 or Citizens' 8110A movt watches, or those Seiko King Twin Quartz with the patterned dials. What other recs do you have?
Im sorry for asking to be spoonfed, but I live in bumfuck, south america and I have a short timespan to order a watch to reach me in a trip to the states in december.

7T92 0NG0 you son of mine bitch.
Hi guys, I've seen a strange watch on a guy today maybe you can help id it.
It was a large watch (probably >4cm) modern/futuristic looking with a busy/crowded dial, black body and dial, every element was illuminated in light blue (markers/hands...) and it looked like a weird hologram from some angles.
What are some cheap-ish watches with interesting dials? Textured/shiny dials? SARB/GS -like dials in the <1k or <500 pricerange. Some vintage vostok/poljot/raketa have nice uncommon dials, but I alr3ady have an orange wostok from the 70'. What else is there in the vintage market?
>>51417801
Sorry man, due to "modern" production methods, there are a lot of watches that could match up. Maybe you have more info to narrow down the options?
What's with the anti-Tisell sentiment around here? Is this the same reason why One Plus One is hated?
>>51417807
It's always Seiko
>tfw I hesitated on this
>>51417875
Uhm, it had some lighting (no lumes) on every dial element with a cobalt/light blue color.
The hologram effect on the surface when looking from an angle was orange/red-ish colored.
>>51418084
The watch possibly was one with tritium tubes. Take a look at Traser, Luminox, Marathon, and Ball watches.
>>51417917
pretty sure it's just a couple guys regarding it as the best thing ever and one guy being annoyed about that. i wouldn't say that's a sentiment.

>>51418567
I'm not going to sit here and argue that they are reasonably priced for what you get because I'm not convinced any luxury watch is really worth the price but there is a lot that goes into making one of these.
It's hand assembled. It has a fully in-house designed and manufactured movement. The case is made in their shop. It's got a handcrafted enamel dial. Basically everything that can be done by hand is and they do as much as possible in-house, I believe the dial is outsourced though.

i'm sorry i use my web dev money to buy guns
i'd assume that grease would do rather well for whatever mod hes trying to run, it blocks moisture, and lasts fucking forever even under heat.
Any poorfags with a love for pocketwatches here? Since I found this chinese piece of shit on my attic I can't stop admiring it. I plan on buying a nice pocketwatch as soon as I'm out of debt.

>out of debt
Assuming you have at least 30$ lying around you can find a nice Molnija.
>>51419664
And why is that? No meme-ing.
>>51419664
>damage control
>>51420041
Because a proper dress watch should be utterly boring and impractical.
>>51419983
Good advice, thanks. I guess ebay would be the best place for these? Seems like there is an ample supply on old russian pocketwatches, anything to look out for to not get ripped off?
>>51420127
>impractical
It shows you the time, it can not be impractical anymore, you braindead faggot.
>should be utterly boring
The purpose of a dresswatch is to be elegant and suit the formal clothes you are wearing.
What is or is not elegant varies, based on the current style and taste of the wearer.
There are no rules on what a dresswatch has to look like. People wore their steel rolexes to formal events and nobody got assblasted.
Well, maybe some autists like you.

Wew lad
>>51420175
Look for any kind of damage (especially water damage),repainted dial, if it's working.
Other then that check the sellers rep i guess, avoid Ukrainian sellers though.

Welcome newfriend. With continued lurking you will eventually learn the difference between the dress watch as a genre and watches that you can wear with a suit, which don't have to be dress watches at all.
>>51420266
thanks, I think i will spend some time researching them.
>>51420217
most of my friends were making hipster/neckbeard jokes too, so thanks for the meme ;)

>wearing something else than a suit to formal events
Sorry, i forgot about you, supreme gentlemyn! Don't forget your fedora, next time you leave you basement for the marriage of your sister and her cousin.
So what are the differences between the SARB033 and SARX015?
>>51420934
They look different.
>>51420974
Man the SARX looks so fucking huge.
>>51420974
because they are
>>51418064
>>51418757
>>51419353
Thanks, I will look into those.
>>51420992
It's an extra 2mm of diameter plus the crown guards and it's generally just a bit chunkier looking.
>>51421008
But really the differences are just aesthetics and price, they have the same movement and all the same basic features as far as a solid bracelet and sapphire crystal and a weak little amount of lume and all that.

WHY WONT ANYONE MAKE AN FFF DIAL WITH DAY AND DATE
WHY GIMP THE WATCH

Please leave. If you have no idea what you're talking about, don't complain when people correct you. If you don't want to learn, don't come here.

>minute hand lined up wrong
This bothers me so much.

>acts like he is in power to say anything about leaving
>acts like he knows everything, yet does not tell a supposed newfag why he is wrong.
I think you stop acting like this thread is your secret little autism club where only supreme, fedora wearing gentlymyn are welcome.
>>51421056
Much thicker than the SARB?
5 days after last being set, and the SARB017 is now running pretty much dead on time.

Absolutely disgusting, get yourself like a junghans or a nomos
>>51420384
Are you legitimately autistic? You seem to have a lot of trouble understanding people's posts.
Anyway, the point had nothing to do with wearing something other than a suit to formal events you fucking retarded mongoloid.
The point is that there is a genre of watches called "dress watches" that have specific elements to their design, as opposed to whatever watch might be wearable in formal situations without raising an eyebrow.
>>51421284
Pretty much the same thickness, but the SARB feels thinner because looking at it from the side it curves and tapers inward whereas the SARX is more square. It really isn't much bigger when you compare side by side, it just looks bigger.
>>51421471
I'll spam a couple more photos in case it helps you decide

I love the angular look of the SARX. Kind of harkens back to the old Grammar of Design watches.
>>51418672
What's this
>>51421265
>does not tell a supposed newfag why he is wrong
Other people have already explained to him yet he persists in his childish rhetoric.
I'll try my best to add a few more reasons here: Tool watches are intended to be used casually or as tools ie. divers, sport, pilot. pic related.
Dress watches are more refined and delicate and are meant for formal occasions and should be understated.
What is the best watch for under 250 bucks /g/ and for someone who never bought a watch in their lives?
PS. I like minimalism and hate shiny shit
