First for Seiko mater race.
Third for quality watches and quality posts only!
What's your favourite / most desired combination of complications /wt/?
>>51636364
*master race. Goddamn phone keyboard.
>>51636384
>day-date
>auto+handwind
>hacking
>power reserve
All else is jut fedorautism and dickwaving.
Any cheap, reliable chronos around? SH is fine for mechanicals. $100 tops
>>51636384
>>51636403
Pretty much agreed, although I have a weakness for dual subdial chronograph and Day-Date Lemania 5100 chronograph as well.
Anyone know what model >>51630961 is?
Hope this thread goes better than the last one.
Here's my Damasko.
>>51636384
This but with a monopusher chronograph instead of the 24hr subdial and power reserve on the back.
And spring drive.
>>51636403
GMT is handy when traveling.
Honestly though, how goddamn nice is the Heritage Ranger? Fucking want.
>>51636577
Not really.
>>51636384
Perpetual calendar day-date-month, thermocompensated quartz, and alarm.
Bezels don't count as complications, but a 12 hour "timezone" bezel too.
>>51636384
I want to add a mechanical chrono to my collection. I also think GMT hands are cool, maybe because the GMT-Master is one of my favourite watches. I also think that a nice little moonphase on a dress watch can look very good, for example something like the JLC MUT Moon.
I think dates are ok but I wish they weren't shoehorned into every single watch because they're really not all that great and they kind of ruin a lot of watches. Day displays seem completely useless to me, I have never actually forgotten what day of the week it is.
Deadbeat seconds are kind of a fun obscure complication. It's funny how having a watch that ticked once per second used to be cool but now having a smooth sweep is cool instead.
>>51636403

Solar-powered recharge is a lot more practical than any winding mechanism anyway.
>>51636690
Unless you wear long-sleeved shirts or a suit, then automatic winding is superior. If you must have quartz, then kinetic.

Sounds like quality to me.
>>51636719
Auto winding is garbage anytime, anywhere. It's the definition of inferior.
>kinetic

>>51636774
>200m
This is the most pointless metric to judge a watch on in the history of anything ever.
>>51636739
They ate fucking quality watches.
You buy a vostok you know what you're in for. Go chop some wood with it, drink two bottles of vodka and punch a fucking gay faggots face with it. Leave it in the sybirian woods for 5 years slap it on you wrist and fight a bear and ride him.
It will always work it's one of the most reliable watches ever made.
Putin is love, Putin is life.

To clarify, when I said "Soviet tanks" I was praising the quality of those watches, not degrading them.

>>51637218
Because they make awful shit for asshole celebrities and Russian oligarchs. Tourbillons are a meme that add nothing to accuracy or anything else and ceramic is a meme material.
>>51637276
>I'm poor and bitter about it
Okay then
>>51637257
Of course the straps are different, one is on a leather strap
>>51636303
How poor are you?
>>51637276
>Tourbillons are a meme that add nothing to accuracy or anything else
You're just some guy on the Internet, but I heard the same thing from a 73 year-old top-tier watchmaker. So I guess that means it's true.
>>51637287
>watch that spits out a dumb haiku when you press the pusher.
Truly the pinnacle of haute horlogerie. Richard Mille watches are some of the finest objects ever created and are advancing the science of horology to new heights with this triumph of micro-engineering.
>>51637358
They look cool and they're expensive and complicated to make, that's really it.
How come there are only 3 perpetual calendar watches under $30k with month day and date display? How come one of them comes with an alarm and a tachy for extra clutter, another is clownfaced, and the last one doesn't actually know how many days February has?
>>51637218
While I find them TECHNOLOGICALLY and in a way horologically interesting, most of their aesthetics as well as marketing is downright appalling.
Most their innovation is in materials though, and not horologically-improving ones at that. They did do some beastly 50mm watch that is springdrive tier accurate and some clock. That's all their contribution to actual horology I know of.
Making the entire movement out of T7075 is p dank, but it doesn't make it more accurate. The suspension thing is objectively useful though.
Their target group seems to be noveau riche, hyper-athletes (mainly to use as walking avertisments) and few if anyone else.
>>51637258
That is the Seiko Brightz SDGM003. It costs around $600 USD and has a truly remarkable level of dial/case/bracelet quality for the price, but the AUTOMATIC on the dual triggers some people.

>TIME TO DIE!
>>51637287
How poor someone is or isn't has nothing to do with how incredibly gaudy and tasteless those watches are.
>>51637399
Yes, yes they are. I'm glad we agree on something.
SARB017, 033, or 035?
>>51637486
Because mechanical perpetual calendars are a grand complications and priced as such. They are created as a feat of watchmaking skill, not for practicality.
>>51637629
That depends on whether you want an apple, an orange, or a tangerine.
>>51637630
Who ever talked about mechanical? I like to know the time when using my watch beyond knowing that it's time to adjust the time.
>>51636785

>>51637828
Isn't the patina the whole point of a brass/bronze watch?
>>51639059
Yes. Thus why I said I don't care about cleaning it. But that's the first objection of half these sperglords here, that it corrodes in the presence of moisture.
>>51639100
it's only popular because of hipsters and muh vintage retro patina
>>51639140
I don't give a fuck about that shit though. I just like the watch. And hey, can't argue with a free watch

Am I the only one that feels textured leather bands are slightly effeminate?
People who post pictures of their watches on NATO straps always have the most pale and smooth skin. And thin wrists.
Not one hint of a tan, scars. Not one single callous.

I think leather bands are shit in general, give me a good bracelet any day.

You should take some more through that.

I'm experimenting with a bit of slow motion.
The quality is pretty low due to 1/8 speed, but I think it turned out pretty well.

Now fuck off you retarded neo/g/ faggot who can't even into doing his own research.
>>51641230
I can't remember the details of how it's done, but is this the quartz movement where there's two pulses in each second to allow for a larger second hand?
>>51641233
Maybe if you weren't so obsessed with posting straight-from-tumblr made-to-fit reaction pics you'd realize that none of them have month day date display.

Of those, only the first 3 seem to show up in a non-directed search. Moreover, even with a directed search, the last two don't appear.
You also missed the seiko spc125/129/131 (same watch different version).
In total, that's 4 watches! Gratz, almost up to 5!

>>51643011
Steinhart is bretty gud quality. Not sure about that alpha, people reccomend them if you having a rather low budget, if you are willing to spend more the Steinhart has potential
>>51643243
...the only piece of information I got from Alpha is that it was a swiss company and turned into a chinese company after it went bankcrupt...not sure if thats the truth I really like that black thin bezel compare to steinhart which still have a thick bezel like the normal seamaster or submariner...if I were to get this, it might be an upgrade from my vostok amphibia

>>51647303

Actually I may take one of these two,I was looking for simple watch for a while now and it will be cheaper just to buy locally then to order from amazon.
Soviet watch, looks pretty good for the price.

What do you think about this model? Caught my attention because of the unusual case form, seen rarele in such cheap watches.
I am def getting that next.

This watch cost $3 including shipping (strap was another $1 but since I ordered 22mm with the intent to notch and the chink gave me 18mm I got refunded)
>>51648118
how cheap can a man be
>>51647768
Most =/= all. Your Buran looks awesome, but I really have not seen many light brown leather straps I like with my SDGM. The Hirsch Mariner was one of the few, orange tinge notwithstanding.
>>51647948
Never saw that movie, what role does the watch play?
If I remember well he fucks up an undercover mission after some thugs steal his Pobeda and he he goes full autistic rage mode. Apparently the watch was very important to him because it belonged to his father, who was deported to a Soviet gulag when he was a child.
The watch is really beautiful imo but actually rather low-end since its a common 15 jewel model you can get on jewbay for 30-50€.
The movie is kind of lame but as a slavshit collector I find it cool to see these watches in movies.
It was nice to see Bill Murray wearing an Amphibia in "Life Aquatic" for example.
>>51648097
That even a gen speedy pro / snoopy would be too big, and the fake snoopy is likely 44mm.
38/42mm speedy reps have subdials like this.

In case you are interested, the leather strap on my Buran is a vintage look Eichmüller. Great quality leather with a vintage finish at a great price, 14€ shipped.
This seller just ships to Germany though.

Does your buran have Beдyщй engraved on the side or the back?

Apparently not. What does that mean?
Looks alot like this. The strap sewing strted to come off, but it's just cosmetic for the strap.

Get an SSB instead, the mechaquartz movement feels much nicer and they're the same price range. I recommend the SSB027 in particular.

wew lad, I hope normies who own that never get a real chrono.
Is there a list of seiko 8f33 watches? They seem to be hard to find for some strange reason.
Also, do the {6|8}f3*'s second hand roll back to the position before the date was checked when the crown is pushed back in or does it take into account how long the crown was pulled back?
>>51649066
Maybe they'll get a flyback chrono :^)
>>51649078
I think the 8f movements were discontinued at least a couple of years ago for some reason. Too bad really, SPY accuracy and perpetual calender were nice features but most of the watches with them were ugly as hell.
>>51649066
Everyone warns people about how resetting while the chrono is running will destroy the movement but even my Seagull 1963 with the shittiest mechanical chrono movement that everyone loves to talk bad about wouldn't let you press the reset pusher while the chrono was running.
In a column wheel chrono the shape of the column wheel makes it impossible for the reset hammer to engage once the chrono starts. I know cam operated movements are different but do they really not have that same type of protection? I find it hard to believe that a $2000 speedmaster will self destruct if you accidentally press a button at the wrong time.
>>51649204
You more have to ram it as hard as you can to bend the metal out of place. If you're dumb enough to do that you deserve a hefty repair bill if you ask me.
>>51649139
>but most of the watches with them were ugly as hell.
Yeah, that's why I want a list. I was hoping there was at least a good looking model with that movement.
Otherwise I guess the only option is the 6f? Same idea, without the accuracy, but at least half the features are present am i rite? They do have some good-looking models with that movement though.

>>51649374
The aesthetics reason is really sort of bullshit. There was no standardized "correct" way to write Roman numerals until relatively recently. Actual Romans would write numbers however the hell they felt like, but IIII was more common than IV. When people first started putting Roman numerals on clocks IIII was the most common style so that was what they used and they continued to use that on clocks and watches even after it became incorrect.

Say that to my lumibrite face then see what happens.
Actually there's a completely unsubstantiated rumor that lumibrite and superluminova are literally the same thing. Seiko apparently says that they developed their lume in collaboration with another Japanese company, and superluminova is licensed from a Japanese company called Nemoto. It's possible that superluminova is just the same lumibrite being licensed to other manufacturers through that company.

it triggers me to see that no one in the Russian army wears a Poljot chronograph or a Vostok Amphibia nowadays.
There are few countries with their own watch industry and Russia is one of them, why the fuck wouldn't their soldiers wear military issued pieces made in Russia?????
>>51651042
Casio's approach is mostly to flood the market with a wide selection of models.
Aside from specific ranges they make themselves for sure (G-Shock, Edifice, Oceanus, Protrek, Sheen, Wave Ceptor, AE, vintages and LCDs in general), anything else is subject to come with whatever Casio requires, because they produce so many fucking watches their own movement production isn't enough.
So yeah, there are Casios with non-Casio movements.
>>51651398
Thats the mentality of all eastern europe countries(read slav nations).
Self destruction and negation that we exist is in our own genes and its observable in multiple aspects in everyday lives.
>>51651398
Because analog watches aren't really practical in military situations
They shine, they reflect, they aren't 100% accurate, they're pretty bulky and all other shit
>>51651488
Speaking of which, what do you think about the Casio DW5600MS-1CR?
>>51651488
Indeed, digital watches don't have a protective glass so they neither shine nor reflect, they're much smaller thanks to their large and thick screen, and they're much more accurate, down to the millisecond.
Why would anyone use an analog watch in the military?
>>51651488
But look at the dogshit that Russian major general is wearing >>51650478
Analog, shiny, bulky and analog, there's no excuse for him.
Does anyone have a pic of a today's Russian soldier wearing a Russian watch?
I've never seen one and I always pay attention to their wrists every time they appear on the news.
>>51651581
You won't ever see a Russian soldier wearing a Russian watch because they are basically not allowed to do so.

It is a fact that digital watches are much faster and easier to read. It is a fact that they need a fuckload less working space to display the time. It is a fact that they can display 1/100th of a second or better accurately. It is a fact that flat surfaces are less liable to reflect and shine because there are less angles under which the light incidence is low. It is a fact that lume works better with digital watches. It is a fact that multifunction digital watches are a fuckload smaller, more readable and more practical than analog versions.
>>51651735
The crystals are smaller on digitals, the cases use plastic instead of high polish SS, the accuracy is higher than mechanicals, they are more durable and can be less bulky, they have more functions like alarm and shit

>>51651801
>It is a fact that digital watches are much faster and easier to read
I'd say that's subjective. With a quick glance at a distance, you can get an estimate of the time thanks to the position of hands, precise to 5 minutes, but you won't really see much with 7seg numbers. This is especially true in low light, hands have lume, LCD needs backlight.
>It is a fact that they need a fuckload less working space to display the time
Mechanicals? Yes. Quartz? Difference is negligible.
>It is a fact that they can display 1/100th of a second or better accurately
Who needs that? Seriously?
>It is a fact that flat surfaces are less liable to reflect and shine because there are less angles under which the light incidence is low.
Most analog watches have perfectly flat glass and flat dial.
>It is a fact that lume works better with digital watches.
There's no "lume" on digitals, only electroluminescent/LED panels. Those are found on analogs too, see high-end analog Casios and Timex. Those also produce far more light than lume, which makes it more visible. If you don't want to be spotted in the distance, better have phosphorescent hands.
>It is a fact that multifunction digital watches are a fuckload smaller, more readable and more practical than analog versions.
Really depends on plenty things. Starting with the kind of functions you need. Analogs generally keep displaying the time no matter which function is used, as subdials are used, while digitals disable time display for other functions, making them a tad more practical, but preventing the watch from being used as a watch. Which is one of the main reasons why anadigi watches exist.
Digitals aren't the be all end all or military watches. Especially when most G-Shock models are anadigis.
>>51648087
Ok, got it. I tought the gold would be a no go. Some of my friends say, "no way, a gold watch, you'll look like a grandpa". But i fell in love with that gold colour and case.

>The crystals are smaller on digitals
It's only relative to the display size. Some digitals have huge displays, which happen to be more practical, so that
>they have more functions like alarm and shit
are actually usable. There are small analogs too if you want.
>the cases use plastic instead of high polish SS
Depends on the model, there are steel G-Shocks too.
>the accuracy is higher than mechanicals
There's quartz analogs you know.
>they are more durable
Debatable.
>can be less bulky
Can.

There's quartz analogs you know. And anadigis.
