Reminder that if your watch accepts firmware updates and connects to your phone, it's not a real watch.
Fuck off, smartwatch babbies.
You can't even put a standard strap on most of them because they're designed around a vertical accessory monopoly

I bought use Swatch automatic chrono.
I have had it for year now and it is only gaining ~2 seconds/day.
It might not look that good, but that's price you need to pay for low end swiss auto chrono.
>>51578374
Go for a Seiko mechaquartz chrono instead. It'll be a lot more reliable. Sturhling or whatever that is are just rebranded 40$ Ali express watches.
If you're into that kinda stuff look up SKMEI
>>51578530
I'd say the dial looks kinda cheap, but the original Daytona had a cheap-looking one as well, so I guess it's accurate.

>There are 2 speed units that should be used on watches
No, fucktard, there should be NO units used on tachymeter bezel, since they're universal to every unit of distance.
>>51578703
If only that CHINA MADE wasn't right on the dial...
>>51578800
it's a homage of a more expensive german watch
if you're so bothered by the country of origin not being germany, just buy the nomos it's based on
>>51578765

>>51578692
The one worn by Bond in OHMSS is pretty nice. It's pre-Daytona.
Got my NATO today
>>51578889
Yeah, if they're base 10.
>>51578893
That's actually sort of nice. The Tudor chronos on the other hand are great so I guess someone at Rolex knew what they were doing.
>>51578981
That'd look a lot better on notched rally strap
>>51579006
I don't know what I love more, twin-subdial chronos or Lemania 5100's. Though I'm a poorfag that never owned either.

Hey guys I really want a watch that chimes or beeps on quarter hours (00, 15, 30, 45 minutes) but Google is not helping me. Anyone know of such a thing? Also, I think I will need it to be under $1000USD.
pic is my current piece, it's almost perfect except the hourly beeps are much quieter than the F-91W, and unfortunately I often do not hear them when in public. I also don't like the extra visual noise from the stopwatch hand.

Yeah really why do people love those straps?
Why don't they waste their time with expensive bracelets that don't fit near the case, expensive clasps that break randomly, bad leather that colors your arm yellow, attaches that near condemn your watch because it's so fucking hard to remove, hard to adjust links... it sounds so much more fun.
>>51579403
This is fair as long as I can shove someone's mouth up their ass for breathing out of it every half minute.
>>51579361

Planning on getting an alpinist. Can someone recommend me a leather strap to go with it under $40?
>>51579214
I love mine.
Recently used it to time myself during an orgo exam. The professor is a cocksucker that gives us 90 minutes to do a 120 minute exam, so you need to stay on track and do the "easier" questions as quick as possible.
The NATO is 2 mm too small I know. If I get that radio room Amphibia I'll put the blue one on that and get the Casio a proper sized NATO.
>>51579920
Pic is a Hirsch Ascot, great strap but probably a bit too dressy for the owlpenis. I can highly recommend Hirsch though and they have a pretty big selection.
>>51579976
Thanks, I'll check them out
>>51579920
I have mine on:

and it works really well ,I'll post some pics later on.
I also knows that a lot of people find the hirsch liberty suitable as well, tough its a bit to thick for my taste
>>51580160
obviously a 20mm one and not the 24mm I posted, its just a random link I found for the strap.
>>51579037
Honestly, the Lemania 5100 is awesome for having a central minute register for the chronograph. It is so much easier to read at a glance than on a subdial.

How fast is 21600bph? Is it still far away from being called a high-beat?
>>51581376
it's 6 beats per second. It is not high beat, which is more like 8 or 10.
>>51581376
6 beats per second
Hi-Beat is is 10 bps.
>>51578703
>automatic
>>51581376
That's the standard beatrate for Seiko and it's less than the standard 28,800 that most manufacturers use today. It may have been called high-beat decades ago when most watches were much lower beatrate, but these days high beat starts at 36,000.
>>51580609
Is it wrong that I want one of these?
>>51581458
How high does it go?
I thought hi-beat watches ticked so fast that they required much faster maintenance intervals because they would wear out 3x faster?

The bracelet doesn't have enough removable links to fit me snugly, it's a pain in the ass. You're even more cutewristed than I am so it would probably be huge on you. It's a neat watch though. Funnily enough I finally got to see an AT in person today and I love it as much as I thought I would. I need to get one eventually.
Girlfriend is getting me this for the holidays. Any objections for being a starter watch? (My first nicer watch)
>>51583866
just make sure to go no date frame because its 10x nicer
>>51583866
>he can't remove solid links
>>51584217
But I think the frame is nicer. Blue is definitely the best color too.
>>51584279
Please explain, I would really appreciate it. The only thing I can think of is permanently unfolding a link to remove it from the bracelet.
>>51585018

Same goes to all the dogshit/smartwach posters. Do not respond and these threads will have better content in the future.
>>51586337
White SARB black SARX is objectively the best combination.
>>51586412
Fully agree with that chart, and you. Rolex raised their prices because suckers kept buying. I will wait until hommages appear or til parnis makes a similar one w/o the logo.
This model looks good but not 4000€ good, max i'd pay is 200€ for the nice design.
A new edition to my collection, with a valjoux 92.
I was really surprised to learn about a genre of watches, Rail road watches. Also not sure why this genre has never been mentioned in any of the threads, over so many years.
There is something really amazing about the white dial and the cathedral/teardrop hour hand.
I do not care about the quartz movement, all i want to have is this awesome looking watch on my wrist. Sadly there are no modern railroad themed watches that look nearly as good as the pic.
>>51586629
That's not a quartz watch, it has an accutron 218 tuning fork movement.
>>51586450
Fug these look nice. Might save for one of these as my first 'adult' watch
>>51586606
>The moment i realised that the hour hand ends just where the indices begin
Yep, this is watch design done right, rest looks incredible too and i know that the photo does not justice to this watch.
Make a pic where we can see the domed glass.

The concept of the separate hands lining up nicely with indices on the dial has been around for decades. Just look at the omega dynamic.
>>51586700
>hands end at the indices
That's pretty common.
I would have recommended the SARB but the bracelet is shit-tier. Is there a possibility to put a nicer one in its place?
>>51586780
You might be able to put the bracelet from the brightz seikos on it, but then you might as well just buy one of the brightz outright.
>>51579961
man, it's too bad there isn't a way to get a nato style strap on that calculator watch and have it look natural/designed that way. i really want to pull this off.
>>51586780
What's wrong with it? You could put it on leather I guess. One anon has his on a perlon and it sounds ridiculous but actually looks pretty good.
>>51586724
>around for decades
Yeah, i know, and now it disappeared, which is bad.
>>51586755
This is not what i meant.
>gap between inidice and hour hand
>tip of hand is pointy, indice is flat
If the tip of the indice would be in the same/similar shape and it would look like they touch each other, that would look pretty based.
>>51586808
>indice
Index
Also watches used to have a small downward curve at the end of the second and minute hands to make it easier to read exactly from odd angles. It helps especially with domed crystals which distort when you look at them from the side.

Would a 40mm watch be too big for my 7.8" wrist?
>>51587140
Don't even try, iwc fangirls never recognize how the ugly proportions ruin their beloved watch.
I tried it countless times over the past few threads. Same problem with Sinn idiots, no matter how you argue, they never see how dogshit their watch looks. Well considering the amount they paid, i can understand them.
>kek
>>51587301
What model exactly? some watches have a retarded huge case and they look too big, even with 40mm.
>>51587291
The milgauss is almost double the price m8. That and there's nothing that's any more 'wrong' about spending over a kilobuck on a seiko than it is on any other brand of watch. Usually a seiko will be of a certain quality at a price point far below an equivalent swiss piece.
Unless all you care about is brand recognition or something.
>>51587291
>No one sane spends more than $1,000 for that fucking harry potter second hand.
This is the only thing that made me hate the mil. But rolex has the oyster perpetual, similar dial, even smaller sizes (about fucking time, watchmakers).
Is the bagelsport a meme or an actual decent watch for the price?
>>51587380
Vostok is better value for the money.
>>51587386
Only if you're happy to wear an ugly piece of shit on your arm.
>>51587291
Milgauss is around 10k no?
>>51587447
It's a suggestion, not a dick.
Don't take it so hard.
>>51587331
I was looking at the SDGM001 anon posted here >>51587217.
It's that or Cocktail Time which is also 40mm I believe.
>>51586000
I actually end up using the chrono function a lot more than when I wear a G-shock or the like.
>>51586629
But that pic IS a modern railroad watch.
Railroad was a an accuracy standard that early american pocket watches were held to. By no means is it a certain look. But yes, they did commonly tend to have the large blocky numerals and those sort of oversized teardrop hands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_chronometer
>>51586795
As much as I love it, I admit it isn't the best looking watch, not y a long shot; so it doesn't really matter what strap you put on it so long as its comfortable.
Can't get more comfy than a NATO.
>>51585711
There's no substantial difference other than the crown.
I got this for $3.50 shipped, not really worth 7 bucks imo
>>51586629
There's that one mechaquartz Seiko chronograph with that kind of styling.
Pretty cheap at like $100 too if I remember correctly.
>>51588251
Why didn't you just buy a no name chink watch for that price? That's a terrible looking fake.
>>51587592
Maybe it's just me but the SDGM is way, way overpriced for $650. Either the SARB035 or 065 will be a much better deal.
>>51588299
I bought 3 chink watches and a few mesh bracelets.
Other than the crown, what makes a bad fake? Genuinely curious.
>>51588413
It looks so different with the real deal.
>>51588444
Is that a fake in your picture?
Because it looks identical to mine, even down to the crown.
>>51588520
You should get your eyes checked desu senpai
>>51588543
Maybe you should. Other than the placement of the logo being slightly different, they look exactly the same
Not trying to defend my shitty fake or anything, by even the fucking crown looks identical to the one in your picture.
>>51588671
Compare them
>>51588711
You tell me.
>>51588711
The only thing thats the same between the watches is the shit quality.
>>51588761
Looks like the logo is a bit bigger on mine too.
Please tell me you don't actually own one of these
>>51588802
Agreed.
Although it is fun to own the 3$ one just for shit and giggles.
I might wear it to class on monday and see if anyone thinks its genuine.
>>51588805
No, I'm the one with an IWC Portuguese replica.
>>51589202
How much did that cost you?
>>51588761
Both seem fake: logo is obviously too big on the right, aswell as indexes, but the crown is wrong on the left one, it's rounded at the end.
Those watches are largely faked because their design is so simple, and fakers don't even bother making too good copies, considering the retards that buy them don't know shit about watches, so they'd rather make simple and cheap ones to maximize their margins.
>>51588761
Well, besides the different logo size;
The indices on the left are a lot more detailed, the central gear on the left also looks a lot less cheap.
>>51589252
Other than the crown it would be pretty hard to tell them apart if they're not next to each other.
Perfect normie bait
>>51589251
$368. I ordered the white/blue dial like this one.
>>51589252
Left is original.
>>51589561

You wouldn't believe how many stores sell fake ones without even knowing. Fakes have been found recently in the Galeries Lafayette, the biggest luxury superstore in Paris, and possibly in the world.
>>51578005
I want to give my dad a Vostok Amphibia Scuba dude for Christmas, but I'm having trouble choosing the best color.
Which one would you take /g/?
>>51589747
I currently own pic related, and i would go for the blue one for the much nicer indices.
Though i'm also wondering, if for my next Vostok i should get a 060 or a 710 case?
>>51589775
thanks for your suggestion, anon. I also like the indices on the blue one better but I think I've read sometime that this new blue dial sucks compared to the old one which had this sunburst effect. Can anyone confirm this?
>>51589747
Blue is better, if possible change the bracelet and bezel, that would make a fucking great watch, although it would cost two times the price price of the watch just for the changes
>>51590061
Well it does seem worse without the sunburst, but there's not much you can change about that, and blue looks nicer than black
>>51590061
Confirming. It's a really odd shade of blue, almost turquoise. There's no sunburst effect, it's just a metallic effect now.
>>51590061
From what i understand, the older models had a darker blue dial which gave a similar sunbrust effect as the blue Orient Ray's dial.
And as said by those two >>51590125 >>51590143, it's just a different dial.

Japanese is pretty much out of the question, since they're lower beat and mountain jews too, since the price range

Great. More ?
>>51590682
Not that guy but there are a affordable brands that use ETA 2824-2 which are generally cheap. Tissot PR50 is an example. Hamiltons can be had for a similar price if you look.

Thanks guys, after all I think I'll go with the blue one, it doesn't have the cool sunburst mako-like effect but it still looks interesting.
I know I would have to spend like 30€ if I wanted to get a bezel mod but I'm on a tight budget atm.
I've seen this pic on instagram, some guy managed to get this sexy brushed look on the case and stock bezel and it looks even better than any other mods I've seen before, and it's cheap and the watch remains 100% original besides the strap.
How can I achieve this brushed look? Sand paper? Does anyone know of any tutorial, I can't find anything like that.
>>51591520
Short answer is sand paper, but really without good tools and a little bit of skill this look is unachievable
>tried to sand down my belt buckle after the coating started rubbing down
>in 5mins it looks like shit, unique, but pretty shitty
>I just left it like that
>>51588327
It really isn't, but why doesn't really come across very well in pictures.
The SGDMs have:
- Diashield to reduce scratches
- super AR coating on the sapphire crystal
- the bracelet is massively better than the SARB with 5 articulating pieces to each link alternating brushed and polished finishes, two half-links, and a GS style milled clasp
- the case has much sharper transitions between surfaces
- the case has 5 alternating bands of brushed and polished finishes
- it has a guilloche dial
>>51590682
Does anyone compare the Rodina bauhaus with Tisell before?
>>51592092
yeah there were comparisons on the tisell thread on wus. basically the tisell is better in terms of finishing, quality control and customer service.
the rodina is still a pretty good deal for the price you pay. desu i'd still get the rodina because i wouldn't want a date window and tisell's offerings both have the date.
>>51590183
LG urbane right? Too bad they recalled the 2nd edition I was ready to buy that shit
>>51592360
oh yeah and tisell has the miyota 9015 automatic while rodina has the seagull ST17 handwind
>>51592005
Hamplanet detected.
How's the lume on the Ray? Is it comparable to superluminova? Does Orient use the same paint as Seiko?
Anybody know anything about Wittnauer? Inherited this from my grandfather
Fake or original?
I never saw this kind of packaging and I don't want to get jewed.
Snatched this last week for $20, enjoying it so far
>>51592634
fake as fuck. cheap casios come in a hard plastic boxes like this
>>51592634
>>51592996
got mine like that from a legit dealer. would say no fake
>>51592996
Maybe it is some cheap packaging to save in shipping? I mean, it has casio papers on the bag and it says casio on the dial as well.
>>51593235
I got my F91W without the hard box as well.
>>51592442
Ray lume is OK but nowhere near superluminova. I'd say the paint is about the equivalent of my SARB017, but it has a slight bluish tinge.
>>51592960
Your chronograph hand isn't resetting to zero...
>>51592442
Yes and no.
If you compare it to the SNZG series lume like pic related or an SKX you'd be disappointed. Though it's okay overall, still miles ahead of Vostok lume.
>>51592418
Which one is the better movement?
>>51593482
>Your chronograph hand isn't resetting to zero...
Eh it's a tiny bit off-center but that doesn't really bother me.
>>51592005
That AUTOMATIC is extremely triggering to me.
>>51593695
depends on your preference as far as handwind/auto goes, but probably the miyota

Why don't you get just the dial made and put it in a memegauss?
>>51594078
I like the special edition that was made for my special origins.
>>51594095
It wouldn't be the same.
It's only if it comes to fruition that it would be the ultimate memewatch.

Which is the better watch, the Tisell or Seiko SARB035?
>>51594078
>>51594110
Those are some disgusting hands, how did it go through the Autist Comitee is beyond me
>>51594246
The SARB. They're not in the same category or price point though.
>>51594253
>Those are some disgusting hands, how did it go through the Autist Comitee is beyond me
I think it was just the nicest case-mockup photo I saw, so I saved it.
Murder/k/ube version was the best version.
>>51594253
It never did, those were just some random dials that guy made.
>>51594261
But the Tisell had a better movement right? The second hand sweeps more smoothly.
>>51594006
Christ, again?!?
When are these whores going to get the SARB065 back?
>>51594272
>Пoдpaзyмeвaя этo ceгoдняшняя дaтa
>Poтop c aвтoпoдзaвoдoм
>>51594303
>>51594261
>>51594246
The Tisell has a better movement (same features, more BPH), but its power reserve is not as large as the SARB.
The Tisell is about half the cost of a SARB - it will not be finished as well as the SARB, but if you want a Bauhaus with a decent movement for under $200, it's pretty much your best option.
Basically:
Buy a Tisell if you want a Bauhaus Nomos/Stowa homage.
Buy a SARB if you want a dressy, built to last, Japanese automatic.
They're both fantastic watches, they both look great, QC and customer service is good for both (QC is arguably better on the SARB, but Tisell's return policy is pretty good).
>>51578239

>>51594550
True, but they will think that of anything that isn't Rolex or Michael Kors.
>>51594519
I'd say you might want to check your wrist size - 38mm is great, so long as you're not obese or have huge arms.
Also, I'd steer clear of the PVD (black) case - very few watchermakers are able to provide a PVD coating that will not scratch, much less in the sub $200 bracket.
>>51592442
I would legitimately take the Ray out of those two, and not because I despise post-Swatch Omega.
>>51594447
you should check out Spring Drive
>>51594303
Sure, but there's more to it than that.
The Tisell is a copy of an existing design (Nomos Tangente). It's a stock movement thrown in a stock case by a gook. People who know their watches will know you were too cheap to buy a real Nomos.
The Seiko is designed and built entirely in-house by Seiko. The finishing is on another level. The movement is better in some aspects than the Miyota too (PR, magic lever).
Having said that, I myself would sooner get a Tisell bauhaus than a SARB, because I prefer the design of the former.
>>51594519
The black one looks awful to my eyes.
>>51594741
Same here, but the anon wants what the anon wants.
>>51594078

Though you're right, it probably won't happen.
Also worked a bit on the much earlier concept of a /g/ FPJ Chronometre Bleu.
>>51594253
Literally everything was and if there's any progress forward, will again be open for suggestions.
Didn't think alpha hands would be sutiable

Didn't you make a version with paddlehands?
>>51594820
Was supposed to be a /g/ and /k/ combined effort.
As far as i recall we couldn't get it going both because there wasn't a proper agreement on the dial, and because the Vostok plant was on vacation status.
>>51594820
It was meant to be a sort of collaborative project between /g/ and /k/ - we're both quite small boards and a watch based on a military design fits the /k/ criteria.

>yfw some Italian watch forum did what the combined autism of /wt/ and /k/ just couldn't?
>>51595204
>Implying autism helps at all in this.
The fights over 3, 4 and 6 o'clock date windows were pretty hectic.
>>51595219
That's what I mean, all the autismos tried to force their own little obsessions on the design with no regard to the overall harmony of the whole watch. It's the typical example of a design made by a committee.
/fa/
>>51594820
I made that logo too :^)
Though it's like what >>51594851 said, several people showed interest and the larger and more functioning of /k/s stores agreed to deal with distribution as well.
>>51587291
Who would honestly spend 10,000 for basically a name brand fashion piece I understand muh anti magnetic case but you could literally get the same performance and accuracy out of a 40 +/- dollar watch, no ?
>>51594420
Damn shame about the low BPH of the 6R15. The size, dial, everything on the 035 is literally perfect but the Miyota 9015 is simply better.
>>51596276
Then buy the 035 - you will not notice the lower beat rate in real life.
It's nice to have the higher beat rate - but don't buy a design you don't want just to have it.
And I'm not a Seikoshill - I'm all aboard the Tisell trail.
>>51594632
Finally, Tisell Bauhauss (silver) is prettier.
My wrist size is 170mm / 6,6"
>wrist on pic is 5,75"
>>51596499
I think where Tisell pulls ahead with their Bauhaus homages is the chamfered date windows, it's surprising how few companies focus on the date windows nowadays.
Just bought it last week
new thread is up

Bretty gud. New or used? Also why not the blue one?
>>51578005

>>51586337
Black has more style
>>51592543
Pre-1950 they were a very interesting and influential US brand that had a hand in lots of early developments in aviation and navigation.
After that it bought by the Swiss and slowly declined. It was under Swatch for a bit and is now a fashion brand owned by Bulova.
>>51596276
>thinks 21,600 is slow
>tfw my old Omegas are 19,800
Is the beatrate really such a big deal to you anyway? And the 9015 is great but I would hardly call it "simply better" than a 6R and I own watches with both. The Seiko has a longer power reserve with a high tech mainspring and has the neat-o magic lever winding and other stuff like that, the 9015 is pretty plain. Also the 9015 in the Tissel is going to be rough and undecorated while Seiko actually puts some effort into making the 6R look pretty nice.
>>51597043
Tisell actually decorate their movements pretty decently for what you pay.
>>51596539
A literally $50 Malaysian child labor Seiko 5 has a properly finished date, I'm glad the lazy chinks are finally making an effort.
>>51597134
You'd be surprised how many companies just punch cut their date window.
I want a clock for about 100€ (I'm from Sweden) and I'd prefer if it's silver with a black or brown wristband. Suggestions? I don't care about brands.
>>51597275
Bry dig mer om själva klockan än armbandet, det är lätt att byta.
Vill du ha mekanisk eller kvarts?
Storlek?
>>51597389
Mekanisk skulle jag tro
Har inga mått på handleden men hyfsat stor.
>>51597678
Om det ser ut som en Rålex men kostar 800kr, är det en fördel eller nackdel?
Saken är den att det mesta värt att köpa ligger i prisklassen 3-500kr eller 1200-3000kr (eller 20-50000kr).
Jag skulle nog fundera på en sån här.
>>51597848
Vad skulle du föreslå i den lägre prisklassen?
Vill inte egentligen ha något allt för flådigt så jag tror det är en nackdel ifall det liknar en Rålex.
Antigen 300-500 eller något kring 1200:- fungerar för min ekonomi just nu. Har använt en Reagal från Ur & Penn för 100:- så allt är en förbättring.
>>51596914
Interesting, thank you. I'm going to guess that it was made under Swatch since it has swiss made at the bottom, and how would one rate it based on looks and what not?
>>51597960
Själv köpte jag mig en som ser ut en hel del som en rålex, dock varken en guldtacka eller på stålband.
I lägre prisklassen är det enbart asiatiskt som gäller: Seiko 5, Bagelsport, Rodina, Parnis, möjligtvis Tissell (snarare 1300kr) Citizen / Sekio (kvarts)
