Most of them look ugly and gaudy as shit. It's as if they are specifically designed for the nouveau rich from China or Indonesia.
>>51567638
As opposed to looking like they're designed for the nouveau rich from anywhere else
>>51567570
Because at that point it's not about spending your money sensibly, it's about showing off and indulging yourself. Japanese brands are still seen as too sensible for that mentality, so people still spring for other luxury brands. Doesn't mean it isn't retarded though.

Do you people ever stop for a moment and consider what meaningless marketing horseshit is spewing from your mouth?
If you want "mechanical advancement" then that's probably going to be a spring drive which you already rejected out of hand for no reason or some other ridiculous overengineered shit like a Lange Zeitwerk or one of those atrocious Urwerk things or a literally useless tourbillon but you'll need about 10 times your budget for that.

Newfag to these threads. What's the deal with this brand / why is it always posted?
>>51569886
At one point they were pretty cheap Milgauss homages(in the ballpark of 20 bucks I think?), and they even could tell the time with enough accuracy to most. General consensus seems to be that since the price hike, it's not just worth it anymore(if you have 50 bucks and want a memechanical, just get a vostok or seiko)
>>51569982

I remember reading that some of them would have jumping seconds hands, or poor accuracy, or whatever else. So it was still kind of a crapshoot. But at $20, who cares.

Man that's almost ad bad as those Panerai nuts.
I've come to like this modest-ish size (40mm w/ bezel and tiny lugs)
though I also like my 52mm g-shock and "lump of steel" 110 case amphi
>>51571144
I've met three types of g-shock users
trendy folk who want a colorful watch, possibly to match with their outfit or just otherwise
nerds who enjoy the utilitarianism
and people who do sports or work in such an environment that they need a rugged watch, these people tend to not wear theirs all the time
actually, some also get one for the mandatory military training here, but those people tend to prefer even cheaper digital watches
>>51572509
Yeah, I pulled my military service thru with terrorist casio. I figured busting up a cheap watch would matter less to me than losing more expensive g-shock.

You know, that analogy doest actually work as well as you think. The problem is that Japanese luxury car brands typically have clearly inferior styling and driving dynamics to the Europeans, while GS styling is at least on an equal footing with Swiss watches in the same genre.

Nobody notices how much you spend on your watch. They all look like $100 jobs, max. No decent designer designs traditional watches anymore. They are all horrible and you should feel horrible.
>>51567559
I found one with asian clone 7750 movement and on cursory glance, they say that it's one of the more reliable and accurate ETA clones. What does /wt/ think?
Can't seem to find one that comes with the Miyota 9015 movement that anon mentioned yesterday.
>>51572813
yeah, what he said
>>51572813
>No decent designer designs traditional watches anymore.
Pleb
>>51572775
It's true. The styling parameters for watches in the tool watch/dressy watch border are pretty narrow:
Applied stick indices, 36-40mm, date window optional, no day window, Guilloche or sunburst dials optional, polished bezels, no rotating bezels, alternating polished and brushed finishes.
Hell the GS auto diver is the same deal. The stylistic constraints of the genre are narrow enough that we aren't comparing Lexus and Mercedes here.
>>51572851

>>51573303

everything else should be about the same
>>51573251
you are wasting money that serves no purpose, and looks like $5 watch to 99.9% of the population. A Mercedes or other quality luxury car is engineered with precision, and everything is considered. That fucking ralph lauren watch's design serves zero purpose, looks no different to a $5 watch, and the most precise engineering feat of it is that it can tell the time as well as they could in the 17th century
>>51573224
Didn't know that Ralph Lauren used mechanical movements in their watches. Still I'd say it is tasteless looking(and my mind lumps RL with other fashion houses, "stay the fuck away"). Their 39mm Safari, on the other hand looks pretty neato
I don't think the HMT Pilot should be on the recommended list.
The watchs just sucks and will give anybody that purchases one (like me) a bad idea of what a mechanical watch is.

the lume is the only thing fucky with the watch imho
the indices do appear to be all lined up, just the lume is fucky.
i wonder if watchmakeranon would want to dick around with an old fake, i'd totally pay him to do that.
>>51574942
Unless you can solder CPUs, that's a pretty big jump in difficulty. Magnification should be your priority.

>>51575272
can you tell me why its so bad?
not trolling.
>>51575303
Well for starters there's no crown...
But, to be serious about it:
>Lume pip is not centred on the bezel.
>Magnification is way too low.
>text in date window is wrong.
>DIal printing is sub par.
>Engraving on bezel is of varying thickness and placement.
>Crown guards are wrong.
>Might be distortion in the pictures, but the seconds hand doesn't look properly centred.
>Might of been different on older models, so it may actually be correct: the lume markers on the dial are too small.
>>51571575
Thats gorgeous. Got a link or a model number?

>>51575392
>Well for starters there's no crown...
i managed to break that like 5 years ago, attempting to unscrew it, thought i did pulled to hard and pop, was sitting on like one thread still arbrbr.
>Magnification is way too low.
as in power or placement? looking down looks properly aligned.
and the seconds line up perfectly, and even the bezel clicks line up perfectly, which surprised me.
the only reason i want to clean it up is the fact when i wind it up it appears to line up as good as my SNK, so hopefully it would be as accurate.
and "how bad" is the printing? because its flaking or because it's just shit.
not having the crown for the last 5 years probably helped it deteriorate.
but ill give you everything else, thanks for the info
since there's so much wrong with it, i don't mind modding the fuck out of it, and doing it myself at that.
still confused on the bracelet though.

Power.
That's 1.5* at best.

Check the hole where the second hand is punched - in the photos it does not look properly centred.
>and "how bad" is the printing? because its flaking or because it's just shit.
A bit of both, I'd say - wrong font on a few things, proportions seem off and flaking isn't helping.

but you want to buy a watch made there
An old watchmaker who was tutoring me gave me two Ruhla Digital and a chicom Baoshihua similar to this one to analyze and repair. How cool is that? He has boxes of old watches he could either refurbish and sell or throw out and told me to take a few. I took these three since I didn't want to look like an asshole filling my pockets with free watches, even though most were broken slavshit and pin-pallet swiss junk.
>>51575664

Is that SQ available in stainless and what's the size / ref?
>>51576306
$7 is a good price, you shouldn't pay more for a handwind HMT that that. However don't be surprised if your pilot is actually a Jawan when it arrives, it happened to me.
>>51576405
Well it was an auction and not a buy it now/40 available. So fingers crossed that's the actual watch I'm getting.
>>51576435
Mine was an auction too, and it still turned out to be a Jawan. Only time it happened though. This was the sellers pic.
>>51576355
It's a 5y23-8a69. I believe mid 70's - mid 80's.
It looks infinitely better on leather.
>>51576466
Hmm, good to know. Interesting we picked the same watch in the endless sea of hmts. Although maybe not as it's one of the few non dogshit looking ones.

do u sleep in your watch? i dont. i put it on the nightstand. the only difference now is that i put it on top of a charger on night stand. i dont see 1.5-2 day battery life being a problem unless im innawoods... but then i wouldnt be wearing an elegant watch would i?

I bought an HMT Pilot for 9$ like two months ago and I regret it.
The watch is absolute shit. No handwinding, power reserve is laughable and it is noisy.
>>51577250
>I got this steaming pile of shit for a very good price!
You paid a non-zero sum for a poo2loo watch. Feel shame.
>>51577193
The difference between your toy gadget and a real watch is that my watch will keep working 20 years from now, while yours will be in a landfill somewhere because the manufacturer stopped issuing firmware updates for it exactly 17 years ago.

oyvey good goy.
watch is a fucking watch, its an utility, not an investment despite what le ebin jew watchmakers portray in exclusive printed adverts in pretty mags. if this isnt falling for consumerist bait i dont know what is. fair enough smartwatches apply to that category, but at least they dont cost thousands and offer supplementary functionality to showing current time.
also im sure i can dig up my nokia 3310 cause it still works and allows me to make calls. why have a smartphone?
>>51577428
>>51577329
enjoy using those smart "utility" functions in 5 years when they stop releasing firmware updates that work with your current version of android or whatever.
Remember all those ancient devices that use youtube or netflix?
You think they still work?
You think they're still being maintained?
Fuck no.
Meanwhile a watch will keep telling time for as long as it's collective parts don't wear out, because you don't need firmware updates to grab the time from your android phone.
Oh did I forget to mention that your dumb toy watch can't even tell the time if it's not tethered to your phone via bluetooth?
Even a dollar store digital watch can tell time better than your disposable gadget.
Not bad desu.
The minimalism bullshit is cancer but I like the lugs.

>>51577692
if a watch will only look good with the stock watch face, why even buy a smartwatch?
>>51577483
ok it might be outdated after 5yrs, might still work. so what? every piece of tech has limited lifetime nowadays. i thought we got over the dumbphone-smartphone meme debate as well...
also some people are looking for a functional device, rather than an item that will simply last.
>dumb toy watch will not tell time
it will once synced once, its not like they go blank upon losing connection to smartphone
it will also tell me time in every city around the world should i wish to check it
the standalone functionality is increasing and now u can take these out for jogging/gym and use as a music player with no smartphone needed
in general i can see u dont know much about how smartwatches work nowadays, do ya?
>>51577692
noice, did it come with that leather belt?>>51577730
theres hundreds of facewatches out there and its a matter of time till proper designers start making some as well. for gold/brown choices might be limited but u still can play around.
>>51576938
Why though? If you're gonna get a smart watch you might as well go all the way and get one with all the tracking and health shit.
Otherwise put the money towards an actual time piece or just buy a chink watch and save the rest.

New rule, if your watch accepts firmware updates, it's not a watch.

>>51577894

>>51577936
Are you retarded?
>>51569378
Honestly depends on what trusted dealer you buy from. Some watches have etas, some have clone or asian movements. Its hit or miss in the movement department. Quality wise there will be always some small manufacturing flaws, but some are extremley good looking watches for the money (well mostly TC Sub v6 which is flawless, like from a store.) And honestly when you pay about 250$ you get alot of value for the money as timepiece. But as I said its a risky game unless you know a good dealer.
>>51577860
