They're the same base movement.
The Bauhaus design might be better for you as it's a bit smaller (38mm vs the Flieger's 40mm).
But there's fuckall in terms of size difference between them.

>>51597850
1000 grain sandpaper might work. Though every brush you do has to be in exactly the same direction or it will look like shit. Also note that the bezel is plated bronze and not steel.

>>51601094
>does this kill the SKX?
I don't think so, these are going to be part of the next price bracket up and are upgraded and more expensive compared to it.
>>51601410
The SKX might already be discontinued, and the Monster was recently upgraded from 7S to 4R without a big change in price, and Seiko seems to have given up on reserving the Prospex name for their high end divers and they're slapping that logo on everything now. Given all of that I think this new watch is an SKX replacement. It'll end up dropping in price a bit once it's been out for a while too.
Did someone say monster?

I've seen a watch similar to that, except much smaller and I couldn't read the make as the text was too small. It started with D, Daniel or something like that, I believe, and there was another word after. Anyone know what kind of watch it could be?
>>51603358
Obviously. Anyone using a non-quartz watch itt is doing just that. Hell, anyone using an analog display is doing just that since it's objectively harder to read an analog display compared to a digital one.

Cool, good luck man.
>>51605042
Thanks, only thing in nervous about is accidentally getting a quartz regulated one. If the seller is lying and I never realize it.
I think to fool me you'd have to have a real case and switch out the movement and that seems a little much for tricking someone. But who knows.
>>51605099
If you're bidding on spaceviews it'd be quite obvious what movement is in the case. Even with a dial I really doubt someone would stick a quartz movement in an old accutron case.
>>51605121
That's what I'm thinking. But I haven't been able to find a picture, or even a good description of the 'AccuQuartz' movement. It still uses the tuning fork, but it's regulated by a quartz oscillator. So, I'd imagine it looks similar. To a degree at least.
I think I'm just being paranoid.

Pretty much identical modules, time sync aside, but that's a battery eater. Protreks have a bigger and clearer display though, making those features actually usable, because the compass feature of GShocks is fucking laughable. Also more practical buttons, one for each feature, while GShocks have a more complicated menu system that's rendered shitty by the small as fuck display.

TISHILL HERE
Just got home to find my Tisell Sub waiting for me.
Pictures tomorrow (potato camera hates low light and my good camera is out of charge).
But to summarize:
The Good:
>Wears way smaller than other Sub homages - pretty close to the real deal.
>Ceramic bezel is nicely done - All the numbers are uniformly engraved, bezel is a uniform colour, lume pip is well placed.
Ceramic is a personal preference, but I do see it as being a higher accomplishment than just plain aluminium bezels.
>Dial has nice sunburst effect.
>Dial printing is easily on par with the OM, can't see any flaws.
>Cyclops is at least 2* magnification
>Solid end links.
This surprised me, as I had heard the end links were hollow, but they may have updated it when they made the model international.
>Screw bars on the bracelet.
Screw bars are a personal preference; I know some people prefer spring bars in the links to keep the bracelet "clean", but I prefer screw bars for ease of adjustment.
>All links pressure fit together, so the bracelet does feel very snug.
>Nicely designed milled clasp.
I have to say I'm very impressed with a milled clasp for this price, it's similar visually to the Rolex clasp, but the design is a bit different.
>Mioyta 9015
We all know it: It hacks, it handwinds without tearing itself to shreds, it's a genuine movement and it's borderline high beat.
The Bad
>Clasp is not a glidelock AFAIK - doesn't seem long enough.
>Stock bracelet may not fit people with very large/fat Canadian-esque wrists.
I have a 7.5" wrist and I could only remove two links (each about 10mm long) - so not much room for huge wrists.
>For such a small diver (compared to watches nowadays at least) it's quite tall; it's about 13mm tall.
>The clasp lock, when open, can scuff the brushed finish on the bracelet.
>Sapphire is AR coated, but not domed.
Overall, I think it's the nicest sub homage in the $200 bracket.
>>51613621

>>51613790
>Keep in mind Rolex uses hallow end links, but hallow and folded are very different.
Yeah sorry, I meant hollow when I said solid and I meant folded when I said hollow.
Forgive me Oniichan.
>>51613781
The 6R15 is a really good movement, not as high beat, but it has the Magic Lever and a longer power reserve.
Besides, if someone wants a Bauhaus design, they'll buy a Bauhaus design; if they want a more conventional dress watch, they'll buy the more conventional dress watch.
Despite being a Tishill, I'd probably take a SARB/SARG over a Tisell Bauhaus, simply because I like the design more - it doesn't mean the Bauhaus isn't nice, it's just I prefer a different watch.
>>51613696

I would like the left one of it had blue indices.

I hate how that shit is so bulky. Why can't Seiko keep the aesthetics of the SARB and improve the dial and bracelet?

Fuck, it's unobtanium?
>>51613905
I think Ticino made one with blue indices, but beware, they're a full on chink brand and I haven't heard anything nice about their customer service and QC.
>>51613919
Damn, is Seiko out of their mind? That price already encroaches into Rolex and Omega territory and they are genuine Swiss watches.

A168 a best

It's a high beat GMT movement, you aren't getting that shit from the mountain jews for less than 10k
my friend got this for $66
he getting rip off or not /g/?
>>51613941
>and they are genuine Swiss watches
Guess who drank the koolaid.
>>51613976
That's a fairly nice vintage piece.
If the movement has been serviced recently it's a steal.
Could probably do with a nice leather strap though - the bracelet isn't nice.
>>51613941
I'm pretty sure that particular hi-beat GS is better than any Rolex under $20,000 in terms of movement and finishing. Also that 36,000 bph movement is GOAT.
I'm slowly saving up for this myself.

Update.
It is actually a glidelock style clasp, I'm really fucking impressed.
Bracelet is 9/10 so far (loses a point due to the clasp lock contacting a link when open).

You guys are nuts. No one sane spends that much money on Jap watches.
just got this
at least is not poo2loo watch
>>51614049
Can't you go be stupid somewhere else?
>>51614049
>You guys are nuts. No one sane spends that much money on Jap watches.
And no one who hasn't had their mind raped by advertising would pay more for an inferior product.
GS makes incredible watches.
If I had to choose between a Spring Drive Snowfrake and a Swiss Watch of twice the price, I'd take the GS. They have the best finishing in their class, the brand isn't a marketing whore and the technology is, bar none, the best in the world.
>>51614049
No one sane should be spending four or five times that much money on Swiss watches for a product that isn't demonstrably superior.
>>51614054
why my casio watch is better finishing than this watch
>>51614054
But it's a favoured brand of Poo2Loo persons.
>>51614049
>another one of these faggots
This watch is for people who actually appreciate watches, not those who just want to jerk off at the thought of people knowing they have a rolex, omega, etc
What is exactly a Seiko 5 watch? Only the ones where the crown is at the 4 o'clock position? The ones which display both he date and the day of the week? Combination of both? Certain serial code and mechanism?
>>51614086
>Swiss Watch of twice the price
I don't know, I'd take a Patek for the resale value.
>>51614203
The ones that have the Seiko 5 sport logo on the dial

As good as they are, without the Swiss Made certifications they are inferior to Swiss watches.
Looking for a portuguese-ish watch. Was wondering how much a hit or miss parnis is. Someone has any experience?
>>51614289
>>51614289
>Swiss Made certification
nigga, that only means that ~60% of the watch is sourced from Switzerland. Nothing more. Plus, for example, Breitling doesn't advertise "swiss made" at all so they must be shit?
>>51614350
Would not recommend
>>51614350
I would just get a ZF or YLF v3 replicas. These are genuinely high quality, better than your average Seiko in the same price range. The movement is a 5001 clone with 70 hours power reserve.
>>51614289
The Swiss used to have a competition to see who made the most accurate watches. They stopped after Seiko started dominating them.
My daily. Poor bezel is scratched to shit from working. Post others when I get home today.
>buys preowned high-end
>buys watches for "resale value" since he can't afford to own two of his grails
How does it feel to be second-class citizens, swisskeks? How does it feel to slave away your life to obtain some fake representation of status as some modern day petite-bourgeois? Meanwhile actual free human beings are buying brand new watches they'll never sell, since they'll just buy the next brand new watch with whatever cash they have at the moment.
>>51614350
Furball has actually had it, so his authoritarian tone isn't completely ruined by trip and shitposting.
It's pretty huge compared to most wrists but if you have a very large wrist you might try it I guess.
There's also pic related which no one here has had but it seems a bit better and smaller.
Archimede has something that looks a bit similiar in 38 / 36mm as well.

Stop shilling until you've at least gotten yours, if those were your QC pictures anyway.
