Are you poor?
Got a great Christmas gift from my weeaboo brother: a watch winder made by Orient. The quality is definitely higher than the $60 one I got off Amazon, thing is built like a tank and is whisper-quiet. Instructions are all in Japanese, I'll need to find a way to translate them but it's not like it takes a rocket scientist to figure this out. Seems to have 4 modes. Pretty cool design, too.
This is great, I'm gonna plug it in and leave my Ray on the winder, so now I can have an Orient in my Orient.
Reposting since I was on the ass end of that last thread's shelf life.
Got this for Christmas. I really like it but I'm not sure about the brand. Is Ferrari meme-tier?
>>52051112
It's a 5$ chinkshit watch that probably cost your family anywhere from 40~60$.
Not even meme-tier, just plain dogshit.

Stocking stuffer: a nice RIOS1931 strap for the 44KS.
Speaking of which, someone in the last thread was calling me out on the 45 and 52 calibers, and then someone else pointed out my reservations with both, so I won't go over that again. Insofar as the 44 caliber is shit because "muh missing hairspring weight", well I guess I won the movement lottery because my hairspring weight is still attached. Even if it falls off because some idiot battery monkey tinkered with it, the damn movement itself is still pretty much unkillable and will still keep time to +/- 10 with proper regulation.
>>52050968
Seems decent so far. I'm personally not a fan of Hadley-Roma since I find their stuff wears out quickly, but then again for $20 it's sort of hard to beat.
>>52051112
It's pretty meme. But it's the thought that counts, right?
>>52051245
Yeah i agree on that wearout part, i've had one of their straps for a year and it looks more worn out then it it's really is.
I should add a couple of more RIOS models to the next version of the guide, what model of strap is that and how is it?
>reposting due to posting at end of last thread
Around a week ago anon posted an unboxing of a vintage Accutron.
If you're around care to explain the movement? Seems really interesting, I know it's a tuning fork, but I can't really find details on how it actually works.
>>52050876
>>52051245
Honestly I can't find anything informative on the weaknesses of the 45xx series besides people noting the mainspring was quite strong. Do you have any sources in that subject?
I still think there is no basis whatsoever for anyone to be badmouthing the 52xx. It should be obvious when dealing with vintage watches with a quickset feature that you don't try to use it between 21:00 and 03:00, and I believe it was only the 5206 that lacked the spring loaded pawl anyway.
On the other hand, the fatal flaw of the plastic quickset gear on the Seiko 56xx is well documented and is now believed to purely occur as a result of age rather than wear or misuse, which essentially makes every 56xx quickset mechanism a ticking time bomb.
>>52051312
Its just a battery that produced small magnetic field that moves the tuning fork left and right something like motion of a big wall clock pendulum.
Now and the fork goes left and right at a certain frequency so it rotates a wheel,and then the gears are regular as any watch.
>>52050886
Now for my post,any of you guys know brand with similar look of pic related?
Ive fallen in love but i cant afford it ;_;

>>52051436
Similar in what way. Onion crown? Polished case on leather? White dials and blue indicies and hands?
There's a lot of options out there. I'd just like to mention if you're short on cash, many overlooked pre-owned or vintage pieces are amazing deals.
>nineball op with that gay as fuck line
>>52051543
I dont think its possible to get one of these used since i dont even know where to start looking.
As for the similarity im mainly interested in the dial itself and the pattern on it,as well as the violet hour markings.Something similar would be nice
>>52051295
It's a 19mm "Toscana". Pretty good overall, has a tough finish but it's still fairly pliable and quite comfy. It's actually a little longer than I thought, I need to go all the way to the innermost hole to keep the damn thing on my bitch wrists.
>>52051368
I heard about the issues with the 45 mostly through the network of watchmakers I use. True that I've only got about 8 people in the sample set, but they get 45 calibers sent into them from all over the country (and sometimes internationally; there is one guy I knew in St. Thomas, Ontario who had 45s coming into him from Russia) and their criticism was all universally the same. Now that i think about it, another issue on the 36600 bph 45 calibers was worn minute pinions, which will of course wear at the pivots but also on pinion leaves, which is very unusual and indicates a design defect. Maybe the strong mainspring has something to do with that. I find the internet is kind of a bad resource for these things, because most people are just praising the design of the case (which looks great) or patting each other on the backs in various forums (wear it in good health etc etc).
Embarassingly, I mixed up the 52 and the 56 calibers. The 52 did indeed have issues with the weird binding on the date quickset mechanism, but it was the 56 that had the fucking plastic bits that just wore out over time. Very foolish of me and I acknowledge that mistake. That being said, the 56 is otherwise a great movement, just you risk losing the quickset and then end up having to set the date like a vintage Omega (ie, many 24-hour turns, and I don't know what you would do for the day). Some watchmakers had told me about unusual wear points and issues with the bidirectional winding mechanism in the 52, I would have to refresh my memory on that one, and I don't think it's universally recognized so it may just be a few bad apple 52s.
Why are people here butthurt by Patek posters? Every time someone claims it's a fake.
>>52051707
>buying Indian watches
>ever
Just got this in the mail yesterday, very happy with how it looks.
What is everyone's opinion on it?
>>52051665
Found the photo of the typical 45 Caliber minute pinion. As I was saying, it may be due to the stronger mainspring, which was presumably used to drive the higher beatrate, but also stored sufficient energy to cause increased wear. I guess Seiko hadn't quite figured out 36,600 by this point (though I don't recall the lowly Lord Marvels suffering from the same issue).
Also, I think the pallet jewels on the 45 caliber also have unusual wear patterns. It looks like clean-cut marks running up and down the face of the jewel. I don't have any photos.
>>52051665
I will ask my favorite watchmaker about the 45xx and see what he thinks about it, I have been doing a fair bit of googling on them and haven't been able to turn up much. I hope I don't have to avoid this line because I really love the 4502-7000/7001 models.
>mixed up 52xx and 56xx
Ah! That makes sense. Yeah, I would avoid 56xx series movements entirely because I'm not willing to risk the quickset issues. I have a Lord Matic Special with a 5206 on the way to me that I scored for $129 USD after realizing how undervalued the 5206/5216 remain.
>>52051829
Too busy, and I bet you don't even know what all the dials are supposed to mean.
>>52052017
I'm not a retard, it's not that complicated. You'd have to be a real fucking moron to not understand what the dials mean and how to work it
>>52051917
I really wish Seiko would just make parts for their old movements so we didn't have to worry about any quickset/cannon pinion/whatever issues whatsoever. If the Mountain Jews can do it, so can Seiko.
>>52051720
I'm out of here. Seriously. People think Pateks are Indian watches on here.
>>52052060

>>52052104
I think it is a consequence of the apparent almost total lack of appreciation for vintage watches in Japan (the same thing that enables a bunch of people in Japan to make a living flipping Japanese pawn shop finds on eBay).
It's really too bad since there are so many great vintage Seiko models.

An operator would never use a smartwatch, because the battery could run out when he needs it most. G-shocks are popular.

Your friend probably saved you quite a bit of money, the watch market here is fucked and people have been conditioned to think MSRP is the actual value of watches. It's bad enough that Yahoo auctions is basically a bad early 1990s geocities site, but also people think a beat up moldy old vintage watch with scratched crystal and no bracelet is worth more than it was when it was new.
Here's my only Christmas present that's watch related, a far too expensive strap but it's a great match for the original Bond strap's colours.

That's the point. Had he gone straight to the source, the pawn shops and antique stores in Japan where these fucking Japs are getting their product that they overprice for us goy- I mean gaijins, then I wouldn't have to pay so much money for a moldy vintage watch. I'd get it for the equivalent of $30 plus transit fare. Far, far below MSRP. He would have actually saved me money if he bought the fucking things, since then I could have kept the best ones for myself and actually made something shipping them out from Canada to desperate vintage Seiko collectors in the US. My dream is to ultimately collect and release such a huge volume of vintage Seikos on eBay that the price suffers a crash and never recovers.

>All stations using 2182 KHz were required to maintain a strictly enforced three-minute silence and listening period twice each hour, starting at h+00, h+30. This allowed any station with distress, urgent or safety traffic the best chance of being heard at that time, even if they were at some distance from other stations, operating on reduced battery power or perhaps reduced antenna efficiency, as for example from a dismasted vessel. As a visual aide-memoire, a typical clock in a ship's radio room (see picture) would have these silence periods marked by shading the sectors from h+00 to h+03 and from h+30 to h+33 in green.

Will have to wait a few years.
I want to add a steel sports watch to my collection and I'm torn between two options.
I like the classic look of the black Rolex Submariner No Date, but I also love the Audemars Piguet 41mm Royal Oak in white.
The AP is roughly 1 1/2 times as much, but fuck that white dial is so sexy and like Archie says if it doesn't hurt fuck off and buy a Casio.
Which one, /watch/?
>>52064642
Both pretty decent choices. I don't like the new royal oaks, I do like royal oaks but my preference lies with the older models. I would go for the Rolex, I love the look of the no dates. I've also heard ap are cunts when it comes to servicing, they takes ages, charge a fortune, and don't resolve common problems
What else is in your collection? If you already have a dive watch the ap would have to be the best choice

Wow that's way more simple than I imagined. Kinda makes it cooler.
I have a feeling this is a dumb question, but so the 214 oscillates at 365 times a second and produces a completely smooth sweep. Yet, the video said a quartz crystal oscillates at over 32,000/sec.

Most actual operator types I've seen wear Suunto or Garmin. The all-black Core was basically made for the military, and there's a reason Garmin has a model called the "Tactix."
I like my Core, but the strap broke (the end loop fell apart) and I need to get a new one so I can wear it again, been thinking of NATO adapters instead of the usual rubber shit.
Some anon recommended me to go with Lorus if I wanted a cheap quartz. What do you think about these ones?

I usually like Timex designs on those chronos and the cheapass Weekender, too bad they are waaaaaaay overpriced here in Brazil selling for Seiko 5 or even Orient Mako prices. Would have brought that one otherwise.
>>52068228
In civilian life, sure (I probably fit that category myself), but if you keep an eye out in pics of US Military, especially Spec Ops types, you'll see them all the time. They're practically invincible, light, low-key, and have huge numbers that are easy to read compared to many G-Shock etc displays.
>>52068671
That plus its kind of a thing in urban music subculture as well.
The slang word "taagi" (which means big and so on) actually comes from Tag. Apparently it is because the guards who used to work as bouncers at music gigs at a certain venue had Tag Heuers which they'd received from their employer.

I'm a total noon to watch shopping, could you link me to the seiko 5 on amazon? Or give me a specific model bc I am finding varying seiko 5 with different case diameters and thickness.
>>52070042
That's because they come unregulated (or very basically regulated) from the factory. Mine does about +15/-10 after a simple regulationg (it did like 20+ out of the factory desu).
Which is really nice, considering that even with regulation my Amphibia still does +30 a day.

Funnily enough, I've held and fired those at a /k/ meetup, they are collectors items not inherently worth that much.
They turn me on, don't get me wrong, but not enough to drop the dosh, certainly not to register the mac.

An SBR'd Mac-10 with a longer barrel and a bit of turd polishing would make a great gun IMHO.
>>52070076
>>52070114
I have no fucking idea about how to do it.
Also that Komandirskie looks neat as fuck.
I considered an Amphibian first but I don't need the steel bracelet or the extra water resistance.
>>52070556
I couldn't get the mac 11 though a single mag without a jam.
I'd want to get an mp5 clone if I was dropping a decent chunk on a range toy.
>>52070422
Another strap for the SNZG15.
Otherwise you need to get some russian watch, preferably with a white or blue dial. Bonus points for green.
>>52070559
>steel bracelet
Literally the worst part about the Amphibia, the case is steel in comparison to the Komandirskies chrome plated brass case. As far as regulating goes get it to a proper watchmaker and pay him some shekels if you're incompetent.
And that Dirskie was a drunk purchase, quite a good one so far.
>>52070536
>Funnily enough, I've held and fired those at a /k/ meetup, they are collectors items not inherently worth that much.
I agree with you - when I was in the US I had a play around with an SVD (Don't know if it was a converted Tiger or something else), it was great, but not really the grail of full size semi rifles.
Fuck the import ban though, they're great guns.
I REALLY hope that Hollis vs Lynch is successful, then all my murrikan friends can buy full giggle guns and I can have some range time with them next time I visit.
>>52070595
>I couldn't get the mac 11 though a single mag without a jam.
From what I've heard they're pretty finicky with rounds, were you using FMJ?
>>52070616
I've got these plus the Grey and black bond style.
They don't fit right, I think cheapestnatostraps sent me 18mm ones. Serves me right for ordering from them
>>52070661
Yeah, it was cheap steel cased but everyone was jamming no matter what they used, the magazine was fucked
>>52051436
You should make an effort and go for it.
Celadon watches are truly a little joy.
>>52070675
>I think cheapestnatostraps sent me 18mm ones
Well that's rather easy to check.
>>52070675
why the fuck didn't you message them about the mistake (if there was one)? I'm sure they'd send you the properly fitting ones or at least exchange yours for no extra cost
>>52070698
>the magazine was fucked
Well there's your problem.
Are new Mac style mags even made, or is just easier to convert them to a Glock magwell?
>>52070675
They definitely do not fit right. Tell them those are the wrong size, since those undersized straps ruin the aesthetic of the watch.
>>52070725
Take it to /k/ you guys
>>52070745
Do you think posting the same boring watch twice in a row fishing for (You)s is going to win you points around here?
>>52070745
it looks sort of "mall watch"-like but eh I do kinda dig it.
how big is it?
>>52070747
Firearms are technology.
Plus, we're not allowed to discuss firearms legislation in /k/, so /g/ is the nearest board that allows discussion of politics.
>>52070439
You'll learn that having a watch, especially one that large, is not practical on your dominant hand.
>>52070346
It strikes me as trying to be cutesy.
>>52070662
yep
>>52070723
Because I'm retarded that's why. They are 20mm because I ordered 20mm. I ordered them because I thought all seiko 5s had the same lug width, and I was checking off the snk809.
I guess I'll have to get one.

>>52071047
Submariner.
Speedy Pro.

Then basically whatever tickles my fancy for a dress watch.
>>52071047
FP Journe chronometre bleu, and keep the rest. Or you could try your luck and see if Journe will make you a bracelet out of tantalum for that much (I doubt it).
>>52071081
I meant the movie.
Were the producers unable to find a NATO that fit?
>>52071140
Technically it's not a NATO strap. I'm sure you could search for the whole explanation on google.
>>52071154
You're right, it's just a single piece nylon buckle strap http://rolexblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/real-james-bond-watchstrap-comes-to.html
Still no explanation as to why it's so narrow, but I guess I don't care that much.
>>52070918

>>52071191

>>52070440
I don't know what's worse, invicta's branding or Tissel's kerning. Either way they make a very convincing case to just save up for a Steinhart
>>52071206
gimme your steam then
>>52071234
>I don't know what's worse, invicta's branding or Tissel's kerning.
Invicta's branding.
You literally can't see the Kerning at an arm's distance.
>>52071140
They couldn't even afford to buy Connery a new watch back then, that Sub was the directors personal watch if I remember correctly.
>>52071186
>http://rolexblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/real-james-bond-watchstrap-comes-to.html
The part about the "FAKE" Bond nato is funny nowadays.
>The supreme irony is NO James Bond ever wore a NATO strap in a James Bond movie and the strap below is the wrong colors and wrong pattern.
Well, nowadays Craig does. A Seamaster with a grey-black NATO was featured rather heavily in the new Spectre film.
The "wrong" idea of that strap being the Bond nato got far enough to become true.
>>52070675
You paid 40 bucks for NATOs? Aliexpress is a thing anon
>>52071306
but it feels pretty good to know that you'll get quality stuff as opposed to just hoping that the chinks won't send you shit
the shittiest natos are annoyingly rough, cheapestnatostraps straps feel very nice and are still cheap as fuck for good straps
>>52071268
Maybe you have bad eyesight or something. Or maybe I'm just overly autistic about fonts.
INVICTA vs. Re sis tant
Truly an escape-escape conflict.
>>52071333
They feel the same. If the chink nato is too rough throw it in the wash with some fabric softener.
>>52071341
>>Maybe you have bad eyesight or something. Or maybe I'm just overly autistic about fonts.
My eyesight ain't bad, the text is really just so tiny that you don't notice it until the watch is about 8" from your face.
>>52071341
The Invicta branding is everywhere though. The case, the dial the second hand, the movement, everywhere you have that shitty brand name or their logo.
That re sis tant is just in a single place at least.
>>52071366
Well then I've had bad luck with my chink natos. They're noticeably worse even after a wash.
That said I prefer thick-ass zulu anyway, that costs more anyway.
>>52071389
You can remove all that except for the branding on the side, which is what I was comparing the kerning to.
Also maybe I just had better luck with chink natos I guess. My main issue with them is the weeks long shipping time.
>>52071377
Doesn't change the fact that its there. And I doubt the tissel accepts Seiko hands and dials.
Is the bezel insert aluminum?
>>52071462
Ceramic.
>>52071488
Shit really?
nice
How much did you pay for that anyway? I'm guessing its the 9015 version?
>>52071499
I don't have one, but they're like $200 I think.
>>52071462
>Doesn't change the fact that its there.
Well, you're not going to find another sub $200 Hulk homage with a Miyota 9015, actual water re sis tance and a top tier bracelet.
>Is the bezel insert aluminum?
Ceramic.
>>52071306
I paid 25$ for five. It seemed okay. They aren't uncomfortable.
I might get a leather zulu, I like the way natos and zulus fasten, rather than fuck with spring bars whenever I want to change the look.
>>52071499
>How much did you pay for that anyway? I'm guessing its the 9015 version?
They're $195 including worldwide shipping.
How are LACOs?
>>52071578
Fantastic, just make sure you buy a sterile dial if you get a Flieger.
>>52071578
More like LAMO
>>52071556
Well that's more than twice what the invicta costs, but I the build seems much superior. If they fix the kerning I'll go for it, even though Tissel is a pretty stupid sounding name.
Is it 40mm?
>>52071628
