Alright people.
This time tomorrow we'll be shitposting over international waters. And then after that we'll be in the 3rd world.
Make sure you wear your 'I don't care if this gets stolen' watch.
>>51443319
From what I heard the one pieces scratch your caseback; unless there's a softer material than the braided nylons I was browsing on cheapestnato.
How much approximatly would a service of an old Raketa cost in a first world country? Because my friend payed like 15 euros for his and I'm wondering if it's something close to that or what, because what I've read hear is that on more modern watches the service goes from like 100€ at least and I'm afraid to get my watch serviced if it's going to cost more than 50€
>>51443616
I don't know about Euroland but in America the cheapest quote I got for getting a watch overhauled was $125.
>>51443538
I'll be wearing my "I don't care" watch
>>51443538
I'm excited. Good luck.
>>51443803
Well, I'm sure it's dogshit, but post it tomorrow anyway!
>>51443856
You're such a charmer.
>>51443890
It has shipped. The wait hurts.
>>51443603
Cheapestnatostraps Perlons are D O G S H I T.
This watch cost $4, and if I could buy the strap for that amount I wouldn't.
What's a reputable place to get two-piece natos?
Sophie is a stockholm cunt who said that my perlon being so harsh it's unwearable is "not good" and won't post my bagel on her instagram.
It's so bad I'm dissuaded from any perlon. Really.
>>51443603
I'm sorry, are you suggested that a braided nylon perlon is going to scratch stainless steel?!
>>51444139
Just go to Holben's Fine Watch Bands and get an EULIT perlon, they Re the good ones and are nothing like the garbage perlons from Cheapest NATO Straps.
>>51444423
Well single piece straps do extend the physical 'width' of the watch.
That's why I suggested the nomos one in the first place, and why we'll never wear the 5517 without it looking wonky :^(.
>>51444037
That watch is ridiculous.
>>51444423

We can stop the emoticon posting now
Had my master race Illuminator for about 3 months now. Loving every second...
Getting this watch for my 21st. Can't wait.
>>51444855
Fake illuminator, incorrect color
>>51444793
Ye. I can't wait to wear it. Probably a nice conversation starter.
>>51444904
>Not a Seiko meca-quartz chronograph
You fucked up son
Looking for a brown/black leather banded watch. with a navy, medium blue face. Silver frame and numbers preferred. Basic in style, no chronographs or anything on the face. Maybe a bit more ornate hands, if need be.
Numbers may be Roman or decimal...Any suggestions guys? Budget is 200-250. Seiko, Omega, Swiss, but I'm not picky
>>51444855
they make fake illuminators?

Lume shots?
>>51445760
Lume shots.
>>51445760
You could probably guess that watch but this one is a bit more obscure. Wasn't the best of purchases.
Last time I took a rain shot the crystal fogged. I should probably stop.
What do you guys think of this?

Can anyone tell whether the SARX015 has a better bracelet than the SARB033? The way it's designed I can't get a good fit for the latter on my wrist.
>>51445452
I think that'll take some time
G-Shocks are all about things that smartwatches can't into
They do have some bluetooth-enabled models though that can do basic music control and whatever, so I'm sure Casio might be interested in trying their hand at smartwatches sometime in the future
This is, of course, assuming that smartwatches actually grow into a big thing, rather than just a relatively popular smartwatch accessory
What is a Seiko chronograph that is revered similarly to the skx007 diver?
>>51444139
What watch is that senpai?
>>51446618
I would kinda think this would be right up Casio's alley. Calculator, databank, triple-sensor, touchscreens, they've been putting these things in watches for decades. I think they even had the first GPS in a watch. I'm surprised they're not at the forefront of this.
>>51445219
>Seiko
>>51446612
The lume on the SARB looks so gay.
What are some cool <$10 aliexpress chink watches?

>3DPD
My mako's date function just broke. Used it as a beater for two years and I think I was a little too harsh on it. I need a new watch to alternate with this while I find someone to get it repaired(or till I buy a new one). Preferably a diver as well with good water resist.
Budget is 200-800 since I'm a poorfag.
>>51447135
How did it break?
You might be able to fix it
>>51447193
6 foot drop because I was being careless. I know a place that repairs watches, but if its more expensive than the watch I might just buy a new one.
>>51446999

>>51447331
This is a 5 dollar watch. It's either this or a shit load of fake sub-dials all over
>>51447251
Thanks, I'll try getting some tools for it. The mako was my first watch so I intend on keeping it for as long as it runs.
Also look whats in stock again.

Can I use a watch to let girls know that I have money? Or will this just further reveal my autism and get me robbed?
>>51447543
Not my money desu. Blow it on whatever crap you want.
>>51447603
It you could use watches to do all three!
Exciting, right?
>>51447603
Get a chink wellington for 3 bucks and it might get you a few compliments for whatever, BUT if you want to really get those pussies gushing you need one of these

Why are you doing this?
I never take any of my old watches out in the rain.
>>51447744
So that I can be part of the meme too.
I don't think I will allow that one to get wet anymore though.

Like seriously I think Seiko made this shit nasty on purpose, just so it would be noticed.
>>51447603
If a girl is interested in you she will compliment on your watch regardless of what you are wearing.
It happened to me two times with my everyday driver Swatch chrono that is really nothing special.
They usually say how nice it is,and aks where you got it from,and from there on you can get the convo rolling and do your magic.
>>51447838
That lume though
Thoughts on Citizen Grand Classic? The blue dial is drop-dead gorgeous.
>>51447769
I just used a different camera and this looks significantly less potato.
>>51447867
Better than Seiko in the same price for sure.
>>51447867
looks nice initially, however
>AUTOMATIC
>42 mm
>>51447958
The AUTOMATIC here is far, far less triggering than it is on the fat Canadian's Seiko. Almost looks like the text on a Tissot Powermatic.
42mm is fine, it's basically a Citizen SARX.
>>51447838
Yeah it seems like a lot of their lower end watches will have just one little thing wrong on them on purpose to make you lust for a better model, that's the only reason I can think of for some of the ugly shit they pull that just ruins an otherwise great watch.
>>51447867
What kind of movement does this have?
>>51447867
That fucking lume man. So beautiful.
>>51448031
Looks like a Miyota 9010, which is VERY functionally close to the Miyota 9015.
>>51448088
>>51447867
>>51448101
Honestly this seems like a pretty good step up from the SDGM00x for not very much more money.
Not bad for 30 bucks.
>>51448105
You gonna trigger the Seiko shills here man.
>>51448119
Nice PaChink Pirripe
>>51448105
The problem is, Citizen generally has a (well-deserved) reputation for making kind of shitty designs or slightly fucking up the few good designs they have made. So a lot of people are instinctively repulsed by their offerings, regardless of how good some may be.
Today it's raining pretty bad, and I'll have to go out.
Amphibia on a leather or terrorist on a green nato?
>>51448179
Seiko is just as guilty of that, as I noted in >>51448024
I got this from Massdrop for cheap. I like the simple face style and it's automatic which is nice, I've never had an automatic watch before.
I was looking into nicer watches but couldn't justify $300.
I do wish it had a higher power reserve though, and a calendar. Apparently the movement is already set up for calendar but they just didn't put it in.
>>51448119
Is that a tourbillon?
>>51448192
I wouldn't pay more than 30 for that.

Is this any good for a quartz watch?
It's on for a good price on Massdrop
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/mondaine-evo-big-date-watch
>>51448660
No
Those only got popular because the Apple Watch has a similar design on the default watch face.
If you're gonna get quartz, either go with Seiko, Casio or get a chink one for cheap
>>51448685
I don't like the look of a lot of the Seiko quartz watches. Are there any watches similar to the one I posted that are good quality but not so high quality that I will be afraid wearing it around daily?
Dead
>>51448763
Timex or Casio.
>>51448763
Chink Wellington or one of these >>51447387
Unless its a chronograph or a very high end Seiko quartz, it's not really a good idea to pay a whole lot for one.
Chink Wellingtons are ~3 bucks on aliexpress by the way.
>>51448660
>paying more than $50 for a non-GS quartz
We seem to get more and more retards in /wt/ everyday.
>>51446782
The brand is Jing Yi. As you can tell by the name, it's manufactured in China. Can't find any specific model number, but you can find it by searching Jing Yi on Aliex Express. The prices are sub-$10, but the bands look like shit.
never heard /wt/'s opinions on smartwatches, specifically android wear varieties. probably because i hardly ever read these threads.
seen this mod on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKq8Fl7rf50
what do you guys think?
>>51444971
When are you going to fix those scratches on the bezel, like you promised me?
Y-you can't keep triggering my autism like this!
>>51449035
Smart watches are literally disposable trash.
You will wear it for one year and then throw it away because either the battery life got to the point it was unusable or your new phone won't support the older watch.
>>51449180
I'm sorry, senpai. I'm travling at the moment, so I haven't been able to do anything about it. Here's some clean GMT Master for you.
>>51449319
Is that bezel really thin or is that just perspective?
>>51449287
they'll probably have short useful lifespans much like smartphones these days, but if you aren't paying a lot for them and are able to find value in what they offer is it really valid to call them trash?
i understand wholly that there is probably little to no overlap in the interests of watch enthusiasts and smart watch adopters, but just wanted to see what /wt/ thought.
thanks for the input.
>>51449343
Perspective. As you can see, someone didn't do too good of a job re-luming the dial though.
>>51449343
its a fake rolex
>>51449388
Lel. It's a unique piece. I believe the movement was changed and the crown guards removed. It has a strange story. Everything is recorded. Still a shame about the dial though.
>>51449388
Also, have little $140K Paul Newman.
>>51449411
sure,whatever floats your boat.
>>51449448
It's okay, you can doubt its authenticity, if that's what you want.
>>51449429
$140k? The 6263's float around 60k (give or take) on chrono24.
>>51449481
I didn't exactly agree with their price either, but that's what they were asking. I really would prefer a metal bracelet too.
>>51447867
That looks really nice. It's good to see a good Citizen watch from time to time.
>>51448119
Neat. How does the big date work?
>>51448192
That doesn't look good at all. There are tons of simple faces that are actually good design. This is just looks lazy and cheap.
>>51449382
>but just wanted to see what /wt/ thought.
the only times smart watches are brought up in those threads is when someone is trying to troll.
>tfw nobody except for me in these threads owns a Soviet terrorist watch
>>51449533
Both the date and day dials are working as they should: they change automatically every 24 hours. The month dial remains a big question mark but you can adjust it.
What's a good watch a or poorfag like me could buy for $300?
It has to be a little big since my wrist is wide.
>>51450095
What style do you want?
>>51450240
Don't even know what styles are there. Would be cool if it had day and date function.

Oh and would prefer mechanical if its possible.
>>51450372

I own a watch similar to this, it was a gift from my grandfather
How the fuck is this not classed as straight up extortion? The import tax for my watch was £8, the carrier have paid that without my authority and have added an extra £13 charge for it, despite doing nothing extra but paying £8. So to receive my watch I now have to pay them what they're asking for or they'll send my item back to the sender. Obviously I've paid but what a racket.
>>51451072

>>51450679
Thank you very much. That looks very much what I want to buy.
Are there more watches like that out there? I can increase my budget upto $500 if I can get something more nicer.
Thanks again.
>>51451426
Not really, that seems like a pretty nice watch.
Tudors are bretty gud in general.
>>51451119
Parcel Force. I think different companies have different charges. The charge was particularly high as they classed the parcel as Express 24, which is a load of bollocks since they'll have taken 5 days to deliver it since they received it.
>>51451596
>Are there more watches like that out there?
Tons. That style is called a diver's watch. The most well known one is the Rolex Submariner, but you can get something in this style at basically any price point.
Some cheap and non-shit ones are the Orient Ray/Mako, Seiko Monster & Sumo (divisive looks) and then you can look into Borealis, Steinhart... and many more

>>51451892
It's not the crystal, i'll take photos in time for the next thread but i'm really sad now because of it.
>>51451982
If it was vintage or something i'd agree.
>>51451734
Thanks for those recommendations. Rolex is probably way out of my budget.
>>51450882
That looks strangely similar to my grandfather's Seiko 6106.
>>51451738
Now you'll forever remember that random girl in the pub when you look at your Seiko. It's wabi-sabi applied.
>>51452136
I would probably recommend the Orient Ray or the Seiko SKX007. Maybe get the Seiko SBDC009 if you're looking for something a little "different" with more features and a better movement (clockwork).
Anyone have an updated poorfag watch guide?
>>51452136
Yeah of course, I was just saying that the sub is the perfect example of this style of watch.
>>51452335
no
We also need new guides,such as
>because its hard-ultimate space watch list
>full retard list
>more money than brain list.
>>51452335
We need an updated one, with better descriptions for Orient and Vostok on poorfag side.
Also will post a couple of pics of this Saturdays trip with my new Ray.
>>51452271
Thanks again. The Orient Ray looks nice and is in my budget.
But there is one thing thats bugging me. Most of these watches seem to be small compared to my wrist. Currently I wear a Casio 558 which has case diameter of 49mm and that looks normal. Do you have any recs around that size?
time for breakfast
>>51452583
I don't know how big your wrist is, but unless you're an extremely fat, disgusting pig feeding at the trough several times a day, 49mm is too big. The lugs of the watch (top bits that hold the band in) should not overhang your wrists. 42mm (or smaller) is actually the proper size for a majority of people; 49mm would be considered a big-time oversize watch. It's practically the size of an old pocket watch.
>>51452473
>>51452583
The Ray is a stunning watch for it's price, and as far size goes it's not too big but also sit well on your arm. Though a lot of Casio's are meant to be worn larger then your wrist can handle.
Honestly after wearing it for a week most of what i have to say is that i'm glad i bought one. But i was slightly disappointed by the lume and then chinkshit rubber strap.
>>51452673
yeah you shouldn't get the rubber on a ray or mako, the bracelet is worth it.
>>51452659
>>51452673
Well I guess I need to go out and check them out for myself then. Thanks for all the recs again.
>>51452821
I'm not a big fan of metallic bracelets, and the seller didn't have the blue faced one with a bracelet anyhow.
Though based Marc from longisland watches, he wrote it up as a 20$ measurement device and i avoided a sizable import tax.
>>51452430
>Full retard list.
So glad I started that.

Sink shot please.
>>51453107
Don't have one - I came close to buying one secondhand, but the guy wouldn't sell the band as part of it.
So lads i'm wondering.
Assuming you have about 70$ in total to spend on a watch (either new or used) plus at least two straps.
What would you go for?
>>51453219
amphibia
>>51453219
Raketa Copernica, with a couple of nice natos.
>>51453231
Seems to be the best choice here.
Currently have a couple of bezels (that fit the 420 case) that are lying around, would the fit the newer 120 case?
What's the minimum I have to pay for a good Rolex replica?
>>51453336
Do you want a fake or a homage? Don't get a fucking fake.
>>51453336
~300$
Cheap ones like 50-100 bux are easily spotted from a mile away
>>51453336
$25 for a bagel
>>51453336
Check out a noob or bp maker rolex. Intime.co is the best site for that kind of thing imo
Tell me why i shouldn't get the one in the middle, i dont want the hassle of importing and waiting a month for my watch to ship. Also availability in holland is a big fucking problem.
>>51453723
Because for that sort of money it's better to attempt importing a SARB.
>>51453618
>All those $300 chronos with the A7750.
Why don't any chink brands/microbrands use the A7750?
All I want in my life is an affordable non-replica automatic chronograph.
>>51453723
because it's a weird-looking quartz
>>51453723
Et is HONDENPOEP
>>51453750
It's asian 7750 clone movement though, not genuine eta.
If I found someone who'd make me custom dials I'd probably get a patek chrono rep - that's not very good of a rep - and remove the branding and design / have a dial made and put in.
Great bang per buck chrono, though without sterilisation I wouldn't be comfortable with it.
>>51453723
Because it looks like shit. But who am i to judge, the people in holland seem not to be blessed with taste anyway, so yeah, go get it but pls stay away from future threads with this abomination.
>do not fucking post it here, m9
>>51453833
>It's asian 7750 clone movement though, not genuine eta.

>Great bang per buck chrono, though without sterilisation I wouldn't be comfortable with it.
True, but I like microbrands - it's sort of hipsterish of me - but I like supporting the "little guy" in the business.
It's much nicer to have a watch from someone who got into the business because they fucking love it, rather than from gigantic faceless corporation who wage-slavery to steal designs from their creators and then profit from them.
>>51444904
I got a no date rolex sub for my 20th, dad took me to the AD and bought one
>>51453750
Chink brands dont exactly care for quality. Theres the occasional few thatll care and will use a decent quality automatic Asian, but most are just shit quartz movements they bought for $5 each, marked it up a bunch, and then sold it to the unsuspecting. If you really want a good automatic chronograph under 300, the best brand is Alpha watch.
>>51453897
What other than Alpha and that chink airforce chrono is there in the way of small sized, mechanical chronographs for under 400?
Or any microbrand offering for a 6.3" wrist really.
Pretty much every brand that isn't in a major group I'd wager is mainly composed out of people who are genuinely like it.
And some that are in even the worst groups as well, I doubt the people at VC / Lange work without passion.
>>51453985
My apologies, they arent automatic, rather mechanical. Its still a fantastic watch though.
>>51453985
>Chink brands dont exactly care for quality.
I was talking about chink brands like Seagull and OM (HK, but principle still stands) - not the slant-kikes that churn out quartz abominations.
>If you really want a good automatic chronograph under 300, the best brand is Alpha watch.
Alpha does not make automatic chronographs.
>What other than Alpha and that chink airforce chrono is there in the way of small sized, mechanical chronographs for under 400?
Magrette, Prometheus (made the CR-1, which used the A7750), Perpetual, a whole bunch of manufacturers who can bear to deal with the ST19 movements that Seagull doesn't keep for itself.
>And some that are in even the worst groups as well, I doubt the people at VC / Lange work without passion.
I highly doubt that it's like that for most people - the people building the watches are separated from the designers and are scattered amongst marketing agents, middle managers and office staff.
That sort of organisation just really feels "cold".
I just love the idea of tiny microbrands (ie. Perpetual is FOUR guys who churn out brilliantly finished watches) - where everyone is involved and the people behind the designs work hand in hand with the watchmakers.

No.
>>51453618
Thanks, I'll check it out.
>>51454132
Well if you get a fake no watchmaker is going to service that shit so I hope you can do it on your own.
>>51454132
>That lume pip.
Oh lawdy no.
>>51454132
I think it will shit itself in person,like seriously they usually make them to thin or just by the look will give something off.
I say save up for a used one if you are really into rolex.
I don't know why you autists are so against fakes. My dad owns several original Rolexes and even he uses a replica for his daily driver. Most of his friends also do the same thing with their expensive Swiss watches.
They don't take out their original watches unless for important events like wedding receptions, business trips or the likes.
>>51454189
We dont say its bad,we say its hard to find good fake so dont even bother.
9/10 times you get scammed even on the expensive fakes.
>>51454132
NEVER BUY FROM PERFECTWATCHES. Ever. Just dont. None of them are good quality, the site will try and scam you, and they certainly arent worth the money. Intime.co is where ive gotten quite a few fakes from, and all of them are fantastic. Go to rwg.cc if you want to look into fakes

What watch is this?
I keep buying watches, but none of them fill the void for more than a few days.
Please help
>>51454944
you don't need a watch you need a gf
>>51454944
Find a girl that will love you.It will all make sense.
>>51454189
They're probably all middle class cheap jews who bought some Swiss watches so they could pretend they're actually wealthy, but they're too much of a working class penny pinchers to actually wear them without being in a constant flop sweat about scratching it/having it stolen by negroes.
>>51454956
>>51454966
I know I do. But getting a gf is literally impossible for me. No ifs ands or buts, literally impossible.
Any watches that'll fill the void but aren't too expensive? I've been thinking about a steinhart ocean one

I feel like I'm coming out of my nato phase and going into leather.
Is nato the Linkin Park of watchfags?
>>51454944
>>51455036
Well, when you first go into watch collecting you have a very particular and that taste does change over time.
But a gf is another moneypit, both look can look pretty or ugly and both can usually do one necessary function.
>>51455036
Im >>51454966
To be honest I also never have had gf and im 23.
Ive lost hope that i will ever find one but hey we can always try again.My next watch will be a tisell,since the blank white dial is describing the state of my soul atm.

>>51455193
>Linkin Park is babby's first edgy metal band. Nato is babby's first watch autist strap.
No.
Everything is pretty level.
Natos are good for casual outfits, where leather or steel bands can be imposing/or ill fitting with the rest of the outfit.
>>51455134
Honestly, the worst part about it is that no matter what I own, how much I make, my accomplishments whatever; if I'm not having regular fulfilled sex and have someone to love me, I'll never be self actualized.
It really hurts sometimes to think that my mindset is on the level of a high ape or something because I'm stuck at the very bottom according to Maslow.

I know you've probably heard it a million times, but don't put the pussy on a pedestal.
Sign up on a couple of dating services and don't proclaim love for the first person you meet out of obligation/rush.
You want a partner to be someone you genuinely feel interested in all the time, basically a best-friend who you fuck.
If your partner isn't your best friend, you need to look at your relationship and if it's going to work.

>>51455036
if you just want new watches all the time, buy used ruskies and hmts on ebay. $15 or less for a mechanical watch that may or may not entertain you for a couple days.
>>51455277
You don't understand. Its literally impossible for me now.
>>51455315
That's what I've been doing. Chink watches too.
>>51455122
Anyway, I really like that strap, anyone know what it is? It's from the Rolex site, it might be the original strap of the original Explorer. I tried to look for similar double stitched straps on Ebay, but most are contrasting.

They do have a B type design.
Be aware that the web shop may not work on a desktop/laptop (I wasn't able to checkout), but the guest checkout works fine on the mobile website.

That's it?
That's your problem?
There is no way you're too ugly for a woman.
Plenty of women date people WAY uglier than they are.
I'm an ugly piece of shit, but my skinny, attractive wife loves me.
You will find people who love pessimists and people who are as bitter as you are.
But yeah, two things that WILL help.
Start eating right, you don't even have to exercise but it does help, you'd be amazed how much being unfit fucks up your mental state.

It's so boring it actually loops back around to convoluted and ugly.
On an unrelated topic:

>>51455568
that bracelet is so nice, especially for that watch.
>>51455605
it's cheap and doesn't look awful
>>51455606
Yeah, the stock engineer bracelet for the OM is nice, but it has a stamped clasp and the slightly rounded links just don't feel right for the sharp design of the watch.
Stock bracelet for comparison.
>>51455605
>why do people like that ugly watch?
>hey gaiz look at this ugly watch I ordered!
Literally worst SE.
>>51455623
>it's cheap and doesn't look awful
I know it's cheap, but I'd say it does look awful.
It doesn't seem simple, just boring and a convoluted attempt at a simple design.
>>51455653
>>51455605
Honestly the new SE models meranom has on sale now are a lot better looking.
Especially that 120SE.
Though i'm waiting for the 960SE re-issue in January.
>>51455653
>Literally worst SE.
Best dial, worst bezel.
I was planning to swap out the bezel, but the watch still hasn't arrived.
Plus an Amphibia has to look ugly (Neptune as an exception) - they're fantastically kooky and a brilliant piece of engineering.
>>51455665
>960SE
Any pics of the next Neptune? I don't even know if this will be the third or fourth generation of it.

>>51455396
>I'm objectively unattractive, a complete pessimist, and years of being alone have made me too bitter.
So what? Almost the entirety of /wt/ would say that the orange monster is an ugly piece of shit. But there also are the people that love this watch (myself included) or compliment it which can actually find the beauty of the watch and of what it represents.
Maybe it does have a weird design, maybe orange isn't the best colour for a dial, maybe
>AUTOMATIC
written all over it isn't the most attractive thing (to some), but it does its job. And it does it very well.
>Monster lume
>200m diver
>Automatic movement
>Orange that screams fuck the haters
>42mm that laughs at all those fuckboi wrists
>Heavy as a rock - not for the feint of heart
TL;DR man up
>>51455698
Nope.
Meranom said there would be a re-issue, but with how the new models are going like pic related i'm thrilled to see them.
Though i expect production delays because of new years celebration.
I love collecting watches but am poorfag. What do?
>inb4 be rich
Can't do that.
>>51454189
lol what a retards, they purchased a watch so expensive for them they are afraid to even use it.
Fucking pathetic.
>>51455870
Get an Amphibia, so you'll have a decent watch. Then get some shitty ten buck HMT's from Ebay.
>>51455870
Save up little by little until you can afford the watch you really watch. Nah, that's crazy talk just keep buying Vostoks and Seiko 5s.
>>51455725
Fuck yeah Orange Monster.
>>51455998
Well, hello there!
>>51449564
sorry, not trying to troll here. like i said before, i never read these threads so i wouldn't even know if trolling about smartwatches was a thing.
>>51455710
in my experience with my lg g watch, the screen will be dim and viewable at all times for about 2 days. if you can't see the screen easily, it brightens all the way up based on a slight turn of the wrist, no touching anything required.
2 days is objectively annoying for a watch's battery life no doubt, but for the features it provides me with, it's just another thing for me to plug in at night along with my phone.
>>51455998
Oh God it looks so ugly. Why only Rolex manages to get the design right?

Still better than your shitty memewatch.
Recommend me a watch in the $0-300 range that is similar to pic related in that it has detail but doesn't look cluttered
>>51456595
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG that watch
>>51456867
This classic style dial is great. I don't know if it has a name, I just call it the euro-diver style, since it was most prominent in European civilian/military divers.
I already have a HMT with this kind of dial and some ancient 5atm Wilson dive watch, that I couldn't get back to working order yet.
>>51454847
It is a 17 jewel Poljot that I got on ebay. I love the dial on it.
Here is someone selling the same model:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-Russian-Soviet-USSR-Wristwatch-Wind-up-POLJOT-17-Jewels-/291616991308?hash=item43e5ba284c:g:LUgAAOSwkZhWTfRf
>>51456600
>>51456600
That isn't cluttered.
Date half dial and a symmetrical power reserve.
Cluttered is having sub-dials for no reason.
>>51457030
That's a really nice, clean design. I'd be kinda afraid to buy a cheap vintage watch though since it'll probably need to be serviced for many times the price you pay.
Is this a good deal? I'm looking for a nice simple watch. Preferably a seiko.
>>51456567
>>51456595
>Still better than your shitty memewatch.

I just wanted to point out how you attacked that guy, out of nowhere, with your Omega shilling. And you have a really weird way of trying to validate your point. It doesn't really work. I'm in no way brainwashed and appreciate all watches alike. I'm a strong advocate of good design though, objective as that may be. I'm more worried about you, buddy. W-wait, did I fall for the bait?

>>51458097
How was I Omega shilling, you delusional clown? You're hallucinating from impotent rage. The other clown said Rolex Sub is the only good diver design, I proved the misguided fanboy wrong with a good looking diver that just so happened to be an Omega, and after that a JLC to calm down the anti-Omega spergs.
But have another good-looking diver and just keep ignoring it so you can continue your tantrum about "muh ODF shills, Submariner is clearly superior, I have all these Rolex marketing brochures to prove it!".
>>51458175
Will do. I almost got the orange but decided not to as I have the Knight already. Also wondering how the quality of the black coating is on some of those other models.

>>51458726
I guess some might be racing nerds who saw a commercial of it on Formula 1 at the age of 14, thought it was cool and they never grew out of it? Remember, TAG Heuer is a monster at marketing and they've been doing this shit for many, many years.
Also I'd assume a normie could only name a few expensive watch brands, no matter how wealthy they are, and they'd rather buy a "modern" piece instead of those old grandpa watches like Rolex or Grand Seiko. I think this is the direction Omega has been moving in for a while, with their Planet Ocean. Except most PO's will probably still look good in twenty years, while 2000's and 2010's TAG's will be just embarrassing to wear.
>>51458980

Guess Omega targeted the gypsy consumers with that watch.
Also I found a TAG that's at least acceptable. Though the proportions are weird, I'd rather wear a Ray instead of that, which as we know only costs a fraction of the price.
>>51459154
Wow, the first Tag that doesn't make me want to puke. That bezel font is actually pretty nice.
>>51459185
Yeah, but the hands and lume dots are Q&Q-tier. The bracelet looks nice though.

Just to clarify, I would personally never buy a Rolex. They are a little shouty for my tastes.
With that said: Better steel, entirely in-house manufacturing, every movement at least chronometer grade, continued innovation and development in movements, better case finishing, MUCH better bracelets and clasps, less of the price is to pay for Swatch Group marketing
>>51460160
>Better steel
It's only more corrosion resistant than typical stainless steel which is completely irrelevant to the vast majority of people.
>>51460160
>Better steel
>muh 916L
It's literally nothing.
>entirely in-house manufacturing
Vostok, Seiko, Orient.
>every movement at least chronometer grade
Omega.
>continued innovation and development in movements
Wait, didn't Omega pretty much leave them in the dirt, Just the fact that they adopted the Daniels-escapement should settle the argument, not to mention all the antimagnetic shit they've been developing lately.
>better case finishing
Subjective unless you have both in your hands to compare. But Rolex does look better finished.
>MUCH better bracelets and clasps
Okay.
>less of the price is to pay for Swatch Group marketing
Instead you'd be funding Rolex marketing, good goy.

I bet it costs several K$, yet looks like any generic divewatch out there. Not a single sign of creativity on that watch. At least offer a good looking bracelet or polish that case, to make it stand out.
New thread
>>51460311
>>51460311
>>51460258
You see, when you admit that Rolex does better finished cases you lose the argument in its entirety because there is well known and widespread agreement online that Omega's bracelets and clasps are clearly inferior.
Not to mention Rolex planning to move to +2/-2s/day standards on their new movements.
Rolex is overpriced, certainly, but they understand that they have to work to justify the hype. What offends me about Omega is precisely the half assed manufacturing effort while trying to market themselves into the same price class.
>>51460258
Don't you know the co-axail escapement is mostly a meme? My watchmaker tells that the theory is nice, but in reality the co-axail escapement takes almost as much lube, as the traditional one. The difference is marginal. Rolex' new escape wheel is nice though.
