sorry bruv
my first Russian watch from eBay came in. Pretty happy with it but it needs some servicing and a new strap so it'll stay in the box until then.
If anybody's in the market for a Sturmanskie, check this auction out. The seller clearly doesn't know what they have, listed as "Wtypmahckne."
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121917438166?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I have never owned a wristwatch but I'm tempted to buy one. Budget is 150€.
Never been to a watch thread either. Am I poorfag scum that shouldn't get into this?
Here's hoping that BW brings some actually interesting watches.
Otherwise I'll just have to stick to vintages.

Haven't people understood that they stop selling that movement to anybody outside the Swatch group?

Also, for all you guys talking about replicas...
I'm in agreement that replicas are lame, but an homage isn't a replica.
Sure there's a fine line, but the bottom line is that this particular watch says "Borealis" and not "Tudor."
If anyone asks about it, I'm perfectly comfortable saying that Borealis is a nice microbrand that makes quality watches that are also affordable. I'm not flashing it around saying, "Look at my $4,000 watch, you poor fucks!"
>>53487761
Congratulations, you have attained a watch that's even more /g/ than an f-91w
>>53489667
I like it, that's a neat dial. Put it on leather though, I tried the dress watch on nato too but it looks like shit and makes your watch look like some garbage Denzel Washington or something.
>>53489918
Thanks man, and I appreciate the tip. I thought of putting it on leather, but I felt like it would look dumb since its only 17 mm. Do dress watches look good with a 17 mm strap? I don't believe I've ever actually seen one
>>53490015
Yeah why wouldn't it look good? What else would you put it on? It might be a little harder to find a 17mm strap because it's an odd size, but I'm sure they're out there. Mine is only an 18mm strap anyway, your watch and mine are both pretty small.
Pls n0 blly
>>53490050
Is that movement made out of rose gold or is it plated?
>>53490131
Plated in copper. Omega used to do that on their movements back when they were a good company. Sometimes people claim it's rose gold but they're idiots, it's copper.
>>53490050
Not sure, leather just seemed out of place. I'll keep my eyes open for a nice one, however. Also, before I put the NATO on it, it had a an interesting thin gold speidel (spiedel?) band
>>53490258
Speidels are pretty old fashioned, leather would look a lot better if you're less than 80 years old. My strap is from Hirsch and I would highly recommend it but I don't know if it comes in 17mm. You could also buy an 18mm strap and cut notches to make it fit but if you cut it badly it'll look like shit.

What is considered a good ABC watch in the mid-range price category?
>>53490516
Define mid-range. $100 or $200 or $300 or..?
>>53490516
Define mid-range price.
Lightly used lower end suunto is probably the best deal you can get.
>>53490543
>>53490558
I have no idea. I was just fishing for some models/makes to see the prices on them and decide what would be mid-range.
Under 200EUR? Can be 250EUR if it is something really good.
>>53490583
Casio PRG-270 is a rather good deal, a fair bit cheaper than 200 eur. Has altimeter, barometer, compass. Does not have atomic time like some higher end models, has solar. There's also a partly steel version available if you want a bracelet.
>>53490258
Looks good, but might potentially be very expensive - milaneese mesh bracelet
I find them extremely comfy and very nice looking, though on that watch you would need a gold one, which would cost fortune or something similiary looking that would flake/brush off pretty fast and look bad
Leather is probably the best choice, black or brown, maybe with some interesting texture
Since you don't seem to like leather too much(neither do I), maybe perlon strap ?
>>53490615
>Casio PRG-270
I rather have plastic, than steel. How is the glass on it? Sapphire or something else? How badly/easily can you scratch it?
>>53490258
You should definitely consider an EULIT perlon strap.
An 18mm perlon will fit 17mm lugs btw.
>>53490615
Oh, and maybe you are aware of some model that has inverted screen? I rather got used to >>53490065
>>53490673
Its mineral. I've only had mine for a relatively short period of time, can't comment exactly, but the crystal is recessed enough (compared to bezel) that I wouldn't imagine it getting scratched too easily (I've used similar g-shocks in the past w/ mineral glasses, no scratches on their crystals either, bezels really do wonders - my "regular" watches have had quite some chipping)
>>53490724
well, there's a version like that of the PRG-270...its available in a few different design configurations
>>53490749
Fuck that orange bezel looks lovely.
And is sold separately.

Are the internals of orient watches better/comparable to the vostok watches?
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeep
>>53490839
is the protrek suitable for daily wear with something like t-shirt and jeans? from the images it looks like it wear like a hockey puck on the wrist
>>53491763
definitely not worse in any real way, except for lacking handwinding
but in my opinion, when it comes to the seiko 5 - vostok - orient holy trinity of poorfag watches, there is no big real difference. none of them are, in my experience, clearly better than the others.
vostok is, of course, the least normal and has probably the worst finishing - but its also the cheapest and most unique. the seikos and orients have quick set date but they lack handwinding. accuracy - no difference after a regulation, all are equally acceptable, but vostoks tend to be worse straight out of the factory.
>>53491763
Probably. Here's some typical Slav quality for you, this is a Raketa and not a Vostok though.
Best 36mm watch?
>vintage omega seamaster?
>rolex datejust?
>patek calatrava?
Any other good options?
>>53491837
Depends on your hand, I guess. I don't own a pro-trek, but mine Axio MAX is thick as well.
How is your wrist?
>>53491837
well, its about as big as an average non-square g-shock.
its actually not thick at all, only 14-15mm, so it is only about as thick as an amphibia w/ 420 case
they're big watches but the huge bezels and plasticness help, they don't wear like a goddamn panerai
on average wrists, I'd say they're ok, and they're definitely not unacceptable if you dress in jeans and a t-shirt, though that is of course subjective as heck.
>>53488363
Probably opened up the watch and slip in a piece of acetate with the image then close it back up. I remember this is how people used customized their Nokias back then.
>>53491846
>>53491848

You only mention time-only models for some reason
I guess this thread is as good as any to ask:
How often do you change your daily driver? I mean, do you wait for it to die, then you try and resurrect it and if it fails, then get a new one or you just have a time span or once you saw something that you liked?
>>53492976
I change pretty much every few days. Sometimes I coordinate with outfits. But most of my watches are usually in a rotation.
>>53492976
You mean how often you get rid of your current watch and get a new one? I regularly wear watches that are 30-50 years old, there's no reason why it would die if you take decent care of it and keep it serviced.
Just got this the other day, put it on a decent NATO. Liking it so far.
Does anyone know if there's any replacement sapphire that is 3mm thick so the glass isn't recessed versus the bezel? I'm afraid I'm going to catch the corner of a table or desk with the bezel and fuck it up.
>>53493786

Yup! That's the one. I was also looking at that Hamilton Khaki on a black and red nato as well as a Bulova Precisionist, but decided on this one. It was the most watch for the money, I think. Now I'm just waiting on my Tisell flieger.

Do pilots ever actually use the slide rule bezel or is more of a marketing gimmick?
>>53494930
Good stuff. Enjoy it!
I'm also at that stage where I'm careful to get watches that aren't too similar to something else I already have.
>>53495115
I feel like it would be too difficult to use and read.
The computers in planes already tell them what they need to know. I bet most of them can do at least some of the most necessary conversions in their heads. Might be good to have as a last resort in the event of an emergency, though. This is all speculation as I'm not a pilot nor do I know any pilots.
>>53495450
>>53495450
i didn't mean to reply to you i just clicked your post for the quick reply window to pop up and forgot to delete the quote
>>53495450
Yeah I can't imagine a pilot using it over the computers. It was probably pretty nice to have before computers though, and I could see it maybe being used in a pinch. Also, it can be used for a lot more than just planes/ aviation purposes. It also looks pretty cool

Or just buy the Rolex and if it doesn't fit flip it.
>>53496737
Go to an Authorised Dealer and try anything relevant on?
My 36mm bagel doesn't really fit my gf with ~5.5" wrists.
Take a caliper and measure the height across your wrist, if it's at least 45mm it should be fine. If you don't want a degenerate oversized "look".
Look into vintage models or Air King / 34mm Oyster Perpetual if you must have a non-femininely sized Rolex.

>>53501757

They have different cases. Amphibians are all 22mm except for the 420 and 060 cases which are 18. Komandirskies are 18. Special editions vary.

That's Dirskie with a very gaudy looking dial, but i dig the brass case.
And the Vostok 2414A, like the one you bought, doesn't have one. The 2416B movement that Amphibia's have does have overwind protection/mainspring clutch~
But you can easily feel when you have fully wound it up.
And if you're making a strap, make a bund strap like pic related for an authentic look.
Any smartwatch worth getting?
>>53501955
They're shit. Some people like to buy one specific model to mod it, but it involves a lot of work to make it passable and you're still left with what is at best a mediocre watch.
Otherwise it's all overpriced, low quality, gaudy designs chinese shit.
>>53502013
I liked the dial because it was easy to read and it wasn't ugly.
I'll probably get used to it, but the only mechanical time piece I've used was a larger stopwatch. The mainspring in the Vostok feels small and delicate in comparison.
That's exactly the kind of strap I was planning on.
I like the one in your example better than mine; do you have another picture of that band?

who was the guys who were going to BaselWorld that posted last thread?
I have a few names I want to add to the list!
>>53502731
Yes, plenty.
Is there anything decent that looks like pic related but a little smaller?
>>53502755
How big is that..?
>>53502755
Don't know how large that watch is, but how about Seiko SARB017?
>>53503033
>>53502969
I think it is in the region of 43 mm diameter and 15 mm depth
>>53502514
yes but this model looks much better.
I'm just looking for an excuse to get one.
>>53503176
not a huge fan of the flat dial with such a simple case, but blue on white is classic
>>53503176
Well, then if you like the design of the SARB, that would be an obvious candidate.
It's 38mm without crown.
>>53503258
Was aimed at >>53503116
>>53502704

Don't be a faggot and go vintage.
>>53503316
I'm not him but since he requested things you already had / boring brands that'll be covered by every major reporter anyway - how about pictures of their booths and how they presented their novelties?
>>53503375
>NOMOS
GUARANTEED BORING
>>53502108
Thanks again, Anon.
Anyone got any tips on a good watch, not overly bling, just need the date and day thingy, that has tritium dials and numbers on the face.
I don't got anything against useful stuff, like chronograph, radio sync and stuff like that, but I strongly dislike watches that has more faces than jaqen h'hgar.
So just a simple watch, tritium dials and markers.
>>53503445
SIEKO SARB (only has date though - can you not remember what day it is, anon?)
>>53503375
A. Lange & Söhne, unfortunately won't be there
Ulysse Nardin added.
Rest was already on the list, haha.
>>53503409
I'll be taking pictures of the booths as well as overall representation.
But some of the 'boring' brands are also brands on my list, and the ones on my list trumps the others, as I'm first and foremost going for myself.
I'll do all my own, and then as many as the people have requested as I can manage.
>>53503418
Oh well, different tastes.
>>53503455
>sarb
>tritium
>>53503445
You could've mentioned wrist size and budget as well, but here you go
>good watch
Any that's not made for a fashion house by chink slave labor.
>not overly bling
Avoid any precious metal / fully polished.
>date and day [display]
Seiko 5, Orient lower end, many analog Citizen / Casios too, anything with ETA 2834 goes too.
>tritium dials
Marathon, Mondaine (Night Vision Series), MWC.
>and numbers
I only know of Ball (~$900] and Borealis Scout Sniper (huge).
>>53503484

>>53503526

looks even better on aftermarket strap
>>53503033
I feel like one day Il'l be old, and i'll get one of those. Looks like the kind of watch an old person would wear.
Fuck it, why wait? Ordering one right fucking now.
How do I go about doing the mod in the OP picture?
>>53504125
Well, dark green and gold is often to be found in the homes of old people. Along with brown. Lots and lots of brown.
>>53504142
Photoshop is the easiest way.
What does /wt/ think? 110€
>>53504362
Positively abhorrent
>dogshit 3€ quartz movement in oversized chrome plated pot metal case named after the most disgusting non-3rd world country on the planet
>>53504362
>Danish design
You need to eat a dick.
And I'm from Denmark, so I should be biased.
>>53504420
>the most disgusting non-3rd world country on the planet
Do elaborate.
>>53503762
I would still recommend most of the watches listed on the poorfag guide to beginners. A year later and you literally can't go wrong with any of these. The only change has been the discontinuation of the Seiko SKX.
The one watch I would tell people to stay away from, especially after Watchmakeranon's revelations in the summer of '15... HMTs of any kind and any type.
>>53504420
>>53504445 here. Okay, wait, maybe you shouldn't elaborate.
This isn't /int/, and I don't want it to go off-topic from watches.
Have a nice day anon, let's say I respect your opinion.
>>53504420
>>53504422
I haven't bought it yet. I don't know much about watches. So I should stay away from Danish Design?
Also, what's so bad about quartz?
>>53504125
Do it mang, SARB4LIFE
Just be sure to get it with the brown Seiko leather strap.
>>53504471
>So I should stay away from Danish Design?
Yes. They're overpriced garbage.
>Also, what's so bad about quartz?
Quartz isn't bad. It's only uninteresting to be people actually interested in watches and watch movements.
If you don't care about your watch being mechanical because you only care about the dial and case design anyway, you should by all means buy a quartz, man.
>>53504446
Yeah, HMT:s are a particularly shitty recommendation for beginners.
Buy one if it would be just for fun / collecting and you don't mind if its absolutely shit. Don't buy one if it would be your first/only/main watch.
>>53504494
That watch doesn't go well with that shirt.
Also: why should he get the Seiko leather strap?
Wouldn't it be wiser to get the bracelet, since it's way easier and cheaper to acquire a leather strap from third party companies?
>>53504471
There is nothing inherently wrong with quartz.
Or more accurately, there is nothing wrong with GOOD quartz.
>>53504464
If you're richdane I respect you as a poster but not your country.
Urban Jürgensen isn't bad but pretty bland and uninteresting. Guess it's better than vintage Patek though.
>>53504471
Nothing is wrong with quartz, the best watch in the world* is GOOD quartz but what you posted is low end chinkshit that cost 10€ to make.
