I saw some pretty sweet Citizen watches at a local shop for over $1k, now I don't know a lot about watches but could they be worth that much? Isn't Citizen generally pretty average?

You may have slagged off my dial choice but I've got this bezel insert. It's my second one after the first fell out due to me using the wrong glue and wearing it whilst drunk. It's much better as it fit without having to be resized (had to take off about 0.5mm from the outside diameter on the first) and more impressively comes with an attached adhesive o-ring that makes installation a piece of piss. Also, £9 delivered is the cheapest you'll find and it's better than the Invicta insert.

What the hell, I just found 2 thick specs of dust/white stuff in my sarb 033. I've just had it for a few weeks, so I'm kind of boggled by this.

Why not get a casio or timex then? Same properties, plus actually look good and not commie-associated.
Any experiences with cadence watches? They look nice enough, but I'm guessing quality is shit.

They're automatics and some people are leftists, believe it or not.
>>51556178
So's the amphibia. Maybe you mean mechanical v.s. quartz, in which case you should know that sub-$10k mechanicals are outright incapable of keeping the time for more than a week.

not really, 10s/year is higher end quartz usually
>>51554212
The quality difference is obvious to the trained eyes but still a fake is a fake so that depends on how much you're willing to spend. The movement is also better as opposed to cheap quartz in a cheaper model.
The more expensive rep tends to be neigh indecipherable from the real deal though, like this comparison.
>>51556357
Haha no they don't, it's usually about 15 seconds a month for cheap quartz and I've seen 30 on some really shitty ones.

>>51555511
Vostok Amphibia has history. It was designed for the Soviet Navy. Vostok had to work around existing patents from other manufacturers of dive watches, and in doing so, came up with some neat design aspects. They utilized a thick, domed acrylic crystal because water pressure makes it expand into the case, forming a better seal. They also made a two-piece caseback so that the back can rest on a much larger rubber gasket, which again, creates a better seal with more water pressure. It's rated to 200m, durable enough for every day use, and costs about $60 after shipping. In addition to that, Vostok makes fucking every part of the watch. The movement, case, crystal, gaskets, it's all made by Vostok in Chistopol by people just like you see in videos from the Swiss watchmakers.. On top of that, you also have the ZA STALINAAAAA SLAVA ROSSIYA aspect that's attractive for the purpose of memes.

fake watches are still watches. TC sub comes to mind as a perfect epitome of this, indie hand made rolex REPLICA (this shit ain't fake bro). Best watch for under 3000$ srs.
>>51557823
The quality and craftmanship of this piece is impeccable, honeslty there aren't any flaws in production, such a solid hunk of steel. The movement also is beautiful and smooth. Many "swiss" 1k-3k$ watches are not even that good. And its 500$ or so for the lulz

>>51556249
Not the other autist, but a vostok amphibia is rated to -20/+40s PER DAY. That's the typical range for cheap mechanicals (+-30s/mo for cheap quartz, for comparison). It is said that some vostok (not the amphibia, though), can be calibrated to within -4/+6s/d and an average quartz is +-15s/m, which is around +-0.5s/d, or 8-12x more accurate than perfectly calibrated vostoks - for cheaper, and with much less overhead for maintenance ($100+ maintenance on mechanical watches every 5 years, v.s. around $20 for a quartz).
Additionally, one shouldn't confuse rated drift with realworld drift. In real life, a quartz rated +-30s/m drifts around 1s/w or so (barring extreme cases), just like the vostok amphibia drifts around 10s/d barring extreme cases, on average. Better models, or better calibrated models, can drift as little as 5 seconds in a year even with low-quality quartz, just like your komandirskie, which is -4/+6 (as per COSC), drifts 1.2s/d.
In the low- and middle-end, it's a fact that quartz accuracy is not even in the same league as mechanical accuracy. At the high-end, mechanicals can be calibrated such that the average real life drift is a few seconds a month, which is very acceptable. I still think it's a waste, though.

That's honestly a shame. I know they were the shit years ago. I have no problem with going old, any years I should look for? Pre-80s maybe?
>>51559315
That's nothing new. I've have a Tissot, I've dealt with their shit before.
>>51559225
I have a Khaki hand-winder, and while the date window is ugly, the rest of it is pretty nice. It's thin (8mm), light, and has a sapphire crystal. Cheap if you buy grey market, too (I got mine for $220).
One big mistake Swatch made was not making more of their dressy watches with the 2801 handwind movement instead of the 2824 auto. The Tissot Visodate is 11.6mm, which is ridiculous for a dress watch. If it weren't for the old milwatch style of the Hamilton Khaki mechanical, it'd be a better dress watch.
>>51557122

I'm not poor, so why the fuck not throw $200 to the wind to see if it's decent?
>>51559342
Pre-Swatch. Hamilton peaked in the 60s I think, later they had a weird few years and ended up moving from the US to Switzerland and became sort of generic and ended up getting swallowed up by Swatch.
>>51559274
>>51559342
Hamilton still makes some nice stuff. Moreso than Tissot, I'd say. Swatch was kind to them.
As usual, though, their "vintage" homages are nicer than their "contemporary" offerings.

>>51559614
I actually quite like the indices and the date window. They go well with the chunky, imposing look of the watch. The finishing is also better than just about anything you'll get from Seiko in the sub-$1000 price range.
But I have to agree with you on the chapter ring. The SARX015 did a better job.
>>51558302
do you know the difference between a fake and a replica?
>>51559746
The basic rule is that the heritage offerings of all the lower swatch brands are better than their regular ones. I can imagine the grinding of teeth at Omega when Longines brings out yet another reminder that historically they were the better brand.
>>51559746

>>51559727
>>51559342
With vintage hamilton there are a lot of scammers out there, especially on ebay. Run away from anything you see with a super colorful dial as they're pretty much all shitty reprints. As with any vintage make sure you do your homework and find something with an original dial at least, those account for most of the watch's value.

Jomashop has some decent deals if you're in the states.
Amazon Canada's black friday sale on watches is even worse. All they've done is take the fake swiss brands with their overinflated MSRPs (and subsequent Amazon "discounts") and posted them up.
"Hey, here's a ten dollar watch that we pretended was worth 400, and that we normally sell for thirty dollars. For this black friday, you can get it for the exclusive sales price of thirty dollars"

>>51560062
Best thing you can do is find a catalog of all the variants with pictures so you know exactly what to look for. Fakes come in varying quality but even the most convincing ones usually get some minor detail wrong. Otherwise be weary of anything that looks super pristine, this is after all going to be a 40+ year old watch and should at least sort of look like it. Lots of sellers try to pass off fakes or restored watches as NOS.

Because you'll be buying cheap chinkshit instead of overpriced chinkshit.

Maybe at some point they'll be small enough to replace quartz completely, but that point isn't now.

Have you ever had that feel? I just had.

100% accurate replica
I want to buy my friend a good watch, preferably leather strapped but any suggestions are good. As long as it's fairly durable, tells time good, and is very cheap, it'll be good.
The cheaper in price the better because I'm not rich
>>51562367
Casio
>>51562367
You say cheaper, but give us a price range.
>>51562411
$0-$30 or so
>>51562490
Get a Timex- whichever one looks nicest to you.
I'd ask /fa/ but they're a bunch of fags.
I received a pocketwatch as a gift. I don't have a vested suit. Is there any acceptable way to wear a pocketwatch other than on a vest?
>>51562521
Hardly even with a vest, they're better off just sitting in your home, more or less on display
>>51562521
If your pants have a watch pocket, you can put it there, and attach the chain to a belt loop.
What do you think of this Vostok, I was thinking of buying it as a suit watch.
>missed the sale on the maratec pilot watches. Sold out.
Fuck. It was $100 off.
What do you guys think of Luch?
I want to buy one of these one handers as basically my first watch, because I want to be a unique eastern bloc snowflake.
Anything better that isn't on the poorfag infographic?
>>51562328
how can I tell its fake then?. cost you?, still gonna be a replica
>>51562577
I have a watch with that movement and it might be a bit too thick depending on your build and how tight your sleeves are
>>51563091
impossible to know it's fake. costs from around €150 and up.
>>51562756
Those are good. Belarus make high quality products.
>>51562756
>single-hand
>>51557738
Sounds like you got a fake bagel. Chipping metal? It's not even plated.
I've been daily driving mine since I got it. (unironically of course)
>>51563096
Yeah it seemed a little too thick but that dial is tha shit.
>>51563157
So, you're saying that their products are not a big Belaruse? :^)
>>51563176
I like the subtle pretentiousness of it.
Like you just see someone wearing it and think "I guarantee this faggot thinks he's better than me" before he looks at you with a smug Voltaire grin.
>>51553959
That video is pretty neat, I had no idea how that shit worked.
Does anyone have one for quartz watches?
>>51563126

I can tell that's a fake, m8.

Hamilton became Swiss around 1970. So yeah I'd say Swiss Hamilton watches can potentially be considered vintage.
>>51563126
really?
>>51563369
tell me how anon!?
What watch is this?
Looks to be some sort of flieger but I'm not sure...

Pretty much how I feel about all modern technology, I'd be laughed out of any other thread than headphone and watch generals on this board. Actually if anyone knew how little I know about those I'd get laughed out anyway. I'm a /k/ boy, all I know is guns and military history.
>>51563409
Well that's pretty cool
>>51563493
>tell me how anon!?
The bezel, crown guards, crown, hands - there's many things.
>>51563349
The balance wheel is replaced with a quartz oscillator. Quartz has a property called piezoelectricity which means that when the crystal is deformed it generates a current or when a current is applied the crystal deforms. A quartz crystal cut very precisely into a tuning fork shape has a voltage applied which causes it to vibrate at 32,768 Hz which is 2^15. A circuit counts up every single oscillation and divides by 2 16 times to bring it down to 1 tick per second. Then that signal is used to activate a motor which advances the geartrain which functions the same as a mechanical watch.
>>51563696
That's pretty rad anon
>>51563756
>>51563756
>>51563756
Fucking blows my mind every time. The machining process to make those gears must have been crazy.
>>51563756
What's this?
>>51563890
Tuning fork movement. The jewels are connected directly to the fork and drive the whole geartrain via microscopic teeth on that wheel.
>>51563909
Ohh I get it, very cool!
>>51562367
Wrong board, frogposter, /b/ is to the left of here, take your meme garbage there.

Thanks lad. I just really don't like the dagaz BB dial personally. if it had logo + text like it said DAGAZ under the rune and the chapter ring was close to the edge I would love it.
I also like the applied indices on my tiger concept dial - gives it a clean look.
>>51563382
It was me Barry. I'm the watch man.
>>51554306
Also super glue just doesn't work for it. Super glue will eventually crack and cause it to fall out. I don't know what you used but I switched it over to vulcanising rubber glue from a bicycle repair kit and it works perfectly. Presumably airfix or flexible glue would also work.
>>51554683
I believe the real ones still tick. They're still analogue quartz watches.
>>51564189
He probably means it ticks every minute instead of smooth like a regular movement with seconds hand removed
>>51564217
I don't get what you mean but I'll tell you how it looks: It ticks every second, and the minute hand moves 1/60 of a minute every second
>>51562577
I generally don't like square watches but that's actually pretty nice.

>I Want Cum
yeah sounds about right
>poo2loo design for mountain jew prices
Go ahead, buy the fakes, but no matter what, that watch is dogshit compared to the older IWC designs.
Friendly reminder that vintage is the only accepteable iwc style.
>tfw waiting for my watch in the mail
I'm still a little pissed at myself for missing that Maratec sale.
Maybe it'll be back for cyber monday?
