1st for Captain Autismo
I want a Weekender Chrono, but they are way too expensive here in France (like 100€, wtf), can you guys help me and request it on Massdrop, it'll just take a few seconds, thanks

Third for GS superiority.
>>51628263
Don't you get tired of these dials pretty quickly ?
>>51628281
I doubt. I think I'd get more bored of the plain ones after a while.
Who here likes NATO straps?
Interesting story. I ordered this strap for the Seiko 5 and it arrived as the latest French attacks happened. Everyone thought I got it because of solidarity.
>>51628358
I love khaki green straps, and for some reasons black velcro straps, anything else I'm not a huge fan
Panerai too big. Wear it outside your jacket.
>>51628404
Velcro straps? Now that's something I see for the first time.
>>51628255
Try Amazon Germany http://www.amazon.de/Timex-Unisex-Armbanduhr-Weekender-Oversized-TW2P62400/dp/B00QIJ6HW2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448967393&sr=8-1&keywords=%2Ftimex-weekender-chrono
>>51628185
Srs Q. Why does Panerai use ceramic housing when it has a tendency to crack?
>>51628587
Because Panerai is a fashion brand.
>>51628587
Weight and prestige.
>>51628766
>those proprietary screw drives
I bet those are just to fuck with independent watchmakers, making independent service impossible. Seiko pls nuke Switzerland again.
>>51628846
You can get ones that fit for like €30 online, unlike with FPJ.
>Only groups force proprietary servicing
>>51628766
Haven't seen any around where I live. The shops don't seem to carry any. Must be something nichér than niché
>>51628896
Well the RM035 (watch in that picture) does retail for about 110k usd.
>>51628263
>wasting that glorious movement on such a shitty dial
Seiko should have licensed the spring dial technology to Rolex. At least this mountain jew tribe knows how to design attractive watches.
>>51629084
That looks like any Swatch, Seiko 5 or Casio. Have the alpine kikes keked you this hard?
>>51629108
I don't expect you weeaboos to know anything about class.
>>51629048
Man, that's gaudy as fuck
>>51629084
>Implying snowfrake spring drive isn't the most objectively attractive watch.
>>51628472
it's for muh astronauts
>>51629265
oh boy, a MAAAN ON THE MOOOON with velcro straps would be for the full SPAAAAACE experience
>>51628522
Still too expensive, they go at ~50$ on amazon US, if massdrop sells them again, they will be at that price + 10 or 15 dollars for shipping

Well sure THAT model looks good, but besides that and the non-date non-maxi sub, every other model looks like it is being featured on "lifestyles of the pretentious yuppie with aspirations of being noveau riche"

Yup, Rolex is sure classy.

It's forged carbon.
Probably done differently to how AP does it, but this 'article' is interesting nonetheless.
http://www.watchprosite.com/?page=wf.forumpost&q=&fi=3&ti=452606&pi=2715986
ctrl f + 602 and you end up where the section on forged carbon begins.
RMs seems more like how Panerai does their "carbotech" which just seems stacked and heated under pressure and then milled.
While there are watches with pattern welded steel, they nearly all look like shit and are overpriced.
>>51630347
>Tolling /wt/

A /wt/ newb here.
Is there a good and affordable (up to 200-300$ maybe) perpetual calendar watch? No chronograph and other shit, I just want a watch with some nice movement and perpetual calendar.
>>51630743
>nice movement and perpetual calendar
I guess you mean mechanical by that?
>>51630763
yes, that would be preffered
>>51630743
For 2-300 you'll get a MECHANICAL tripple calendar at best.
For something around 400 you can get this.
>>51630809
So you're basically asking for the most inaccurate kind of movement, that stops running if you don't wear it for some time, to run the kind of watch that's the hardest to set?
That's stupid anon. I mean, not as much as mechanical moonphase watches which certainly take the crown, but still.
If you want a perpetual, get quartz.
>>51630743
Patek Phillipe Grandmaster Chime
Got this today, i won it by anwsering some question somewhere. I know its dogshit but I think it has some strange beauty to it. Plus you dont see alot of people with a mercedes watch.
>>51630743
>>51630809
For a $300 perpetual calendar watch you have two choices:
1. A quartz watch that will work
2. A watch with a Chinese mechanical movement that won't
>>51630743
Citizen.
>>51630961
that bracelet tho....
>>51630889
>>51630920
ok, suggest me something good with perpetual calendar, as I said I dont know much about watches (other than lurking here for a couple of weeks)
>>51630961
really dislike the look on this one... still, the bracelet can be changed right?
>>51630919
If you find it worth your time worth that rather than spending it on working, it's a good watch for the 'money'.
I'm guessing it's quartz but since it says swiss made it should at least be an ETA / Ronda GMT movement which isn't too bad.
Wear it a while then pawn it or sell it to some auto-enthusiast rather than a WIS when you get bored of it.
>>51630919
>free gmt watch
meh i'd be happy
its somewhat nice looking
does the bezel spin? doesnt look like it.
>>51631016
I think there's a perpetual calendar Timex on the watch guide
>>51631016
Get a Seiko or Citizen perpetual that looks good to you. They'll do the job. As for the Citizen >>51630961 here, you can always swap the bracelet for a leather strap.
>>51631032
>>51631046
Sadly no spin, im happy though as ive been interested in watches and following these threads for about 3 weeks now..
To the other guy, ronda 515, okay i guess, don't know much about quartz movt. Its my first watch so I'll keep it till i get my hands on a sarx
>>51631016
What's wrong with the bracelet? Looks cool to me, the rest of the watch not so much.
>>51628766
>>51629048
guys stop talking about RM, just dont. It doesn't deserve it. People that buy them are THE most shittiest of all the worlds people.
Does anyone know where to get a decent Milgauss replica?
>>51631229
Do you mean in terms of looks or in terms of decent antimagnetic properties?
>>51631229
Starts with B and ends with Agelsport
Got this quartz wenger for 2 bucks at a thrift shop. Cleaned the aluminum with cream of tartar mixed with water (read it on a watch forum) because it was covered in corrosion. Had to superglue the both leather retaining loops.
Battery was dead so I installed one myself. Had to wrap it in a towel and squeeze it down with two pairs of pliers to get the back on again.
Quartz movement seems pretty accurate.
Please tell me I am not wearing a ladies watch.
>>51631339
Rounded crystal
>>51631339
I suppose it could be made for a woman, but the design cues are fairly masculine- which I think is more important than the overall size of a watch.
>>51631339
>Swiss flag
>SWISS MILITARY
>SWISS 50m
>SWISS MADE
I bet exactly 50% of the parts are Chinese and only the final assembly was done in Switzerland. What the fuck does Swiss 50m even mean? Is it water resistant down to 50 Swiss meters?
>>51631474
Who knows. All I could find out is that it's Wenger but most likely is bottom of the line since even cheap wengers are 200m
Reminder that nato straps look like absolute shit on pretty much any watch and the only reason to buy one is being a cheap jew.
>>51631474
Same goes for most watches. Even "made in Japan" Seiko watches have a bunch of Malaysian and Chinese parts- who knows what the percentage is.
>>51631597
Sure thing :^)
I see no 70s chrono.
My dad wore this one almost every day for 35 years
>>51631809
can it only time 30 seconds?
>>51631809
You should spare some bucks for a new watch so it doesn't look you scavenged that shit on a dumpster.
>>51631838
just changing the crystal would probably be enough.
Can anyone identify this watch?
>>51631838
I have two. This make you happy?
>>51631849
Part of the reason why I like it is all the wear
>>51631835
That's minutes, do you even know how a chrono works?
>>51631641
I don't doubt that at all, but it feels even more dishonest when the watch is covered in Swiss flags and shit. Supposedly the cases for the SARB033/035 are Chinese and 6R15 movement parts are made in Singapore while final assembly and finishing for SARBs happens in Japan, but that's all WUS bullshit posted without any sources so I have no idea.
>>51631835
The subdial counts up 30 minutes, not seconds. The big second hand is the chrono seconds, the 6138 and 6139 movements actually don't have a running seconds hand at all.
>>51631849
This, putting a new crystal on a watch will give it a new life even if the rest of the watch is still beaten to shit.
>>51631895
I don't apparently.
>>51631909
Most of the damage you see is on the dial itself, not the crystal. Weird, I know.
I really would like to know how my dad managed to break the "Seiko" nameplate
This Seiko dick-riding has to stop.

>>51631948
So contribute something else
>>51631948
Once again, the Swiss watch industry is so scared of Seiko utterly dominating them in every category of every watchmaking competition that they had to rig the rules to exclude them.
Thus, even the Swiss watch industry tacitly admits that Seiko is better than them at EVERYTHING.
>>51631978
Thanks, this is from some Russian mafia arrests.
Thought it was something more expensive.
>>51632044
Maybe he knew he was going to be busted and left his good watch at home.

I've heard a high quality chink replica with clone ETA 2836 movement is better no?
>>51632181
>replica
you guys keep using that word when you mean fake
NO REGRETS
>>51632181
If it doesn't have the same antimagnetic resistance, what's the point? It's just a watch with a funny second hand then.
>>51632213
>get a smartwatch
>struggle to make it look like an actual watch

>chink

You mean shitty chink fake, right? Fake. FAAAAAAAAKKKKKEEEE.
>>51632181
Lower end reps have the same movement or something marginally better at twice the price or higher.
Buying a $350 genuine ETA movement 'replica' would give you a better movement and finishing than a $36 Bagelgauss.
>>51631891
is that a sophon pogue?
>tfw I bought one because I wanted one to wear that didn't looked chewed to shit rather than a collectors piece
>tfw I opened up the back to regulate the movement

>tfw I should have just listened to everyone who said sophon a shit

Hopefully. Or it could just mean you pay more for an indifferently assembled bunch of variable quality parts. Some bits might even be oiled!

I'm not, just fake watches are garbage. No Matter how nice they are, they're aspiring to be something that is better than them.

Hey I believe you that these IWCs are fake. How can you tell? Inform the rest of us so we can avoid faggotry. kthx
>>51633750

Because they're being shilled so hard on /wt/ by some insecure beta faggot that wasted his money on wrist mounted patheticness broadcaster who is suffering from burning repressed buyers remorse and cognitive dissonance.

STEAMED DOGSHIT!
So how's the thread going so far faggots?
Have you ordered your Tisell yet?
I did an will post 50 pictures in the next thread.
>Reminder to myself to avoid /wt/'s that start with dogshit watches AT ALL COST
This is the most cancerous thread so far and all because this CRI TICR ESISTA NT faggot refuses to stop posting that green shitpile here.
>>51633791
>/g/ -Technology
>>51633750
They're being posted on /g/.
If one of you slobs came up to me in person, wearing an IWC, I would instantly assume it's fake.
People you interact with in real life would feel the same. They would know that your means don't match up with your aspirations and they would find you so pathetic.
Ask a female friend, what's worse:
>A fake Rolex.
>A digital Casio.
>>51633791

Should I go for it? Came back from thanksgiving and everyone's saying I need to show off a little more. Been lurking these threads for a little, and liking the Hamilton watches. I've got some money for it.

I totally believe you walked away from your Korean Kerning Tutorial forum to ask your supposed girlfriend about fake watches.
>>51633886
Nah, get a T I S E L L.
But in all seriousness, that's a great field watch, buy it.
>>51633867
This is 100% true. No one, other than other watchfags, look at the name.
That being said. You look like a dork with a digital.
>>51633925
Looks infinitely better. But give up friend, hamilton sissies will never buy it out of insecurity.
>no SWISS MADE=bad
Don't give tips to people like these.
They don't deserve a nice watch and not being ripped off.
>>51633925
>>51633956
Looked it up, that watch is going around $400. I'm getting the Hamilton for around $250.

Fair enough, you're getting a not as good watch for not as much money. Makes sense actually.

$335 from Seiya: http://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/seiko/products/seiko-automatic-sarg005
I can't seem to find the SARG007 on Seiya's fancy ass new website but he's just a dude who buys Seikos in Japan and mails them to you and he's a nice guy so you could probably just ask him for one even if it isn't on the site.
That said I think a lot of the Hamilton Khakis are also pretty nice so it's really a toss-up over which one you prefer, ignore all the obnoxious militant Seiko dickriding that has overrun these threads lately. I own an assload of Seikos and I hate Swatch as a company as much as anyone else but this shit is getting out of hand.
>>51633886
that's a good watch
if you like it yes buy it
>>51633886
>Came back from thanksgiving and everyone's saying I need to show off a little more.
wow, my condolences for having a bunch of cunts as family.
>>51634069
Actually apparently they've gotten even cheaper on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Sports-SARG005-Automatic-Adjustable/dp/B00G9XRY92/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1448997825&sr=8-2&keywords=seiko+sarg
Where the hell are you seeing $400? All of the base-level 6R15 SAR* Seikos are like $300, $400+ should be something nicer like a SARX.
Is there anywhere that's good to talk about watches now that our final bastion has been overrun by fakes and shitposting? I rode out the eco-shill fad but I don't think I can take this shit any longer.
>>51634108
Just bail for a few days or a week or two and eventually /wt/ will go back to normal. That's what I do anyway, it's nice to occasionally take a break from watch autism anyway.
>>51634108
It'll blow over soon. Until then try to make quality posts to get a discussion going, basically a thread within a (shit) thread.
How about this: Lemania 5100, why are they kill? Did they have some kind of issue or defect that made the Valjoux 7750 the better movement?
>>51634108
>i don't post about watches i like and then nobody talks about watches i like! bwaah!
>>51634105
>>51634085
Other anon posted SARG007, so I was looking at that. Just comparing them on Amazon.
>>51634085
Yeah, well when your [spoiler]Middle Eastern[/spoiler], you're expected to show off your wealth if you got some.
>>51634037
You don't seem like a very pleasant person.
>>51634155
Good question. I think this movement is the bee's knees, I wish there was a chinese clone of it. More chronos should have central minutes, it's so much easier to read and frees up subdials for more interesting things.
>>51634142
>>51634155
What's the deal lately though? It's not like watches are /just/ getting big or fakes are a brand new thing.
There's usual a catalyst. I mainly stick to /g/ and /co/.
>hype part comes out you get THOSE threads.
>new episode/edition/series comes out same shit
>>51634108
Once I am no longer bedridden I am planning a thread or two that could be fun about highly complicated mechanical watches. But that may be a little while from now.
>>51634155
That's kind of what happens when you have a single company suck up every single competitor. Swatch has no reason to bother producing and maintaining spares for two completely different but functionally identical 28,800bph automatic day-date 3-register cam-actuated chrono movements. They probably just decided they had to kill one of them even though both are perfectly good.
>>51634155
5100s are reliable and sturdy, but when ETA bought the world they decided not to update the tooling, so they stopped making them. ETA chose the Valjoux 7750 as their main cheap chrono caliber instead. I can see the logic- the 775x is easy to modify for all sorts of different purposes- moonphase, GMT, day/month, etc, etc- so it's a good base for a lot of things. I can't recall the 5100 being used for so many different options. On the other hand, the 5100 is tougher than the 7750 (but the 7750 is pretty tough itself, you never hear of handwinding issues like with the 2824-2).
I think it just came down to a corporate decision- they had two choices, equally good, and picked one over the other.
>>51634173
I do post about watches I like, just yesterday I was subjected to furious shitposting in response so fuck it
>>51634259
I will take note so as to shit it up with my Tishilling.
>>51634229
Some shitdick anon thought it would be a good idea to buy a fake watch for real money, /wt/ tried to talk him out of it unsuccessfully, showed off the fake watch and people got angry over the poor fools stupidity. The dummy went into full damage control and pretended the anger directed to him was because he was le epic shitposter ruseman picking on le autismos.
Then some dummy believed his Tissel was a better watch than it actually is, and another round of autism drama started.
Lee Myung-Gook and Kevin Spacey's Chinese cousin need to pls go.
>>51634155
The killed the Lemania 5100 because it shits all over the Valjoux 7750, and we can't have that, can we? Fucking Swatch Group.
guys what's the deal with amazon buy vip prices?
How do they sell 1000$ watches for 100$?
>>51634309
The Tisell is actually a really nice watch for the price, if I didn't find the sub hands fantastically ugly I would absolutely buy one.
>>51634344
they are $110 watches sold for $100.
>>51634346
Y ES, TH AT GEN ERIC SUB HOM AGE IS GR EAT VAL UE
>>51634344
Because what they're really doing is taking a $5 and listing it for $1000 with a permanent 90% discount to fool retards. Do you seriously believe for a second that someone would produce a watch worth a thousand god damn dollars and then decide to sell it for a tenth of the price just because it's the Monday after Thanksgiving or whatever bullshit?
>>51634344
Which watches are they doing that for? It could just be some of the "Germasian" mushroom brands where they list the MSRP as $900, but everyone sells them at $90 (and they're worth $25)
>>51634370
Where else can you get a watch with milled clasp and endlinks, a 9015, ceramic bezel, and sapphire for $200? Plus I just said I didn't want one because it's a sub homage you dumb faggot.
>>51634374
Hard to believe that some people don't understand this, it's not like we don't see this in other areas of /g/. Lenovo always advertised like that.
>Normal retail price: 6000
>online price special: starting at 1799!

>>51634284
>I think it just came down to a corporate decision
Fuck, the current Swiss watch industry is absolutely abysmal with it's inbred corporations and spineless marketers holding on to what legacy they still have.
Pic related, Tojo should drop another one of these over Switzerland, and wipe the fuckers out. Again.
>>51634462
Japan is too busy trying to not be destroyed by the rising Chinese watch industry. Unfortunately for them, it's not all ripoffs and badly made junk.
>>51634452
Keep in mind 'ceramic bezel' is about as descriptive as 'metal case.' Are you talking about zirconium oxide? Or are you taking the same ceramic as novelty ceramic kittens sold for 99cents each?
>>51634462
They did, spring drive is the greatest horological innovation since they destroyed them with quartz but the mountain jews can hang on by sheer marketing muscle. Seiko just isn't serious about global domination at all.

To be fair it looks nicer than the ones Steinhart does, at least Tisshit engraves the numbers on the bezel. I still think ceramic bezels are an ugly meme though, aluminum is much nicer looking.

>>51634741
Holy shit, you bought the Apollo 13 memewatch for real money, and it isn't even the original? Get the fuck out, you're beyond pathetic. Even if you bought the Eaglemoss Speedmaster you'd be less ridiculous.
>>51634777
>Have they finally fixed the reliability problems?
They're reliably terrible.
>>51634765
No kidding, I had no idea someone would get so buttblasted over a miniscule text issue that's barely even noticable. You'd think Tisell killed his parents or something.
>>51634791
This illustrates well where knockoffs fall down- that Snoopy engraving is awful. It's just a stamped out piece of garbage.
>>51634791
I have to say, it's a pretty fucking cool piece although I'd beat the shit out of you if I met you in person
>>51634791
No, that Snoopy is actually awful. Looks like it's made from cast lead and painted by the same people who paint the toys in Kinder eggs.

>>51634823
Come to an autist playground, get autists.
I like the watch, it's definitely going to stay in rotation and seems to confirm that I want to save up for a Hulk, but I might take a snap every now and then just to start the firestorm when the thread dies down.
>>51634833
Looks completely reasonable in real life. Close up photos don't do it justice. It's the only snoopy replica on the market though, would have paid more for s higher quality one.

That's actually genuinely nice then.
Is it .44 Magnum or some propriety bullshit caliber?
>>51634895
>replica
You mean fake, and a terrible one at that. Not that the original is something worth getting either.
>>51634895
Even the real one is a goofy memewatch. If you want a good-looking white Speedy find an Alaska Project. The color and subdial hands kinda remind me of the XB-70 Valkyrie.

Enjoy your cognitive dissonance you pathetic faggot.
>>51634895
No it won't. Look at everything that is wrong with the Snoopy. The hand grabbing the case, for example. The unsteady bubble of the helmet. The misshapen eyes and odd looking mouth. All the details are both wrong and soft, leading to thin lines being far too heavy. That's when it isn't just waved and stamped.

I'm not him, but another should be Citizen for their Miyota movements, especially the 9015 series. We get a lot of nice microbrand watches at reasonable prices thanks to them.
>>51635068
The kinds of real world watch snobs faggots buy fake IWCs to try an impress only consider Patek, AP, JLC, VC, Langhe, etc to be serious watches.
They consider Rolexes beneath them and meant for middle management with pretentious, and they snigger behind the backs of try-hards who buy IWCs, Panerai's, and other noveau riche pleb dollar extractors.
>>51635130

Ceramic doesn't scratch. Also, the chance that it will actually crack is very low unless you drop it on a really hard surface like concrete.
Also, it's cool. People buy watches because they are cool pieces of engineering. Having a watch made out of space age materials is cool.
