>every watch feels different when you wind it
Yup.
But, it depends on the person. Some would rather wind and forget and some will wind it up a little every few hours.
Why is the Patek 3970 literally the most perfect watch of all time?
>>53953999
I have a hard time imagining someone who actually likes and cares about watches will have an issue, or even not just enjoy, winding it.
>>53954036
He rather specifically said he wants the automatic variant.
But then again he said he is trying to become a watchfag.
>>53954071
Yes, he's imagining using a watch a certain way without speaking from any experience.
>>53954024
becuase at £80,000 it better be fucking worth it.
>>53948187
I'd advise you to contact them directly thru the concierge at their website. That's what I did when I bought mine. Still, I also had to wait a couple of days between comunications.
Best of luck m8.
>>53948835
Well, there is a watch I found really intrigging...
>>53948845
>inb4 zeitwerk
Goddamit!!
Well, in that case, I would have to go with a few vintage models from the seventies, like the Computron, but mainly due to their bold designs.

Why are you so angry dude? Did daddy touch you when you were little?
>Or are you mad because he doesn't touch you anymore??
When you find people with extensive knowledge of something, their experience can help you find things you find closer to your own appeal if you ask them, faggot.
>>53952817
I would recomend you look for watches made with the caliber 5700. It's IMO the best affordable eco-drive it's an analog perpetual calendar that sells for les than 500 bucks.

My family wasn't exactly rich, but they did paid the best education available for me, sometimes thru great sacrifice, wich is the best thing my parents could ever gifted me.
Also, I think I've been very lucky and had great opportunities, and I'm grateful for those.

Thanks I might try Celadon via their concierge in oppose to their Facebook. Reason I first tried their Facebook was because I assumed they preferred to PM there due to their quick response time.
>tfw still waiting for a response and it shows they've seen my message.
Should I let the PM on Facebook remain there until they respond? (It shows they've already seen it) or should I just fuck it and go straight to their concierge?
>>53954848
Don't worry m8, I've always assumed you were a stupid Murrican. English is my 3rd language as well, so have my respect back :^)
>>53954781
I'm not italian either. Almost all of my collection have been bought from AD's, Celadon's being one of the very few exceptions. That's why I haven't got the Velsheda yet; I haven't came across one. I always ask for a discount before accepting a deal, though.
I think I paid a bit more than 20k for the Overseas.
>>53954850
Go straight to their concierge. Sometimes Ben(jamin) Chee -Celandon's CEO- attends the website himself. He is a really cool guy.

Or right. But I'd prefer uncoated steel for a watch that is also uncoated.
>>53956261
Right is boring but safe.

>the most interesting designs always seem to come from small/obscure companies
That's been my observation too. Or at least the designs that don't cost as much as a house tend to.
>>53959451
Polished tantalum case, 18k rose gold dual barreled movement, the gear train is hidden under the dial. The dial itself is difficult/costly to make. I could go on.
If I had 20k to throw away on a watch it'd definitely be the bleu.
>>53959451
just read about them online
How the hell can Orient charge the same price for the Mako and Ray II's with a better movement?

Googling FPJ and that watch leads to umpteen interesting articles about the history of the brand, what he does, what makes that watch special, etc. Why would someone, who actually wants to know about watches, choose to use 4chan as a primary information source instead?

cheers thought it was, apart from the cyclops what are the major tells? saw this on ebay
>>53960455
The first thing I notices is that the rehaut actually looks like a chapter ring, it comes as such an odd angle. You can literally see reflections of every hour index on it from a straight on shot.
>>53960472
I thought why would someone sell a 3k watch for 500
fresh cop
>>53960516
They probably bought for 50 or less
Rep nodate
>>53960549
>>53960516
The rehaut on this one is much better, but still wrong. And the word the text looks kind of fucked, especially the word 'officially.' And the bezel just looks cheap.
Also, that would be a pretty bad nodate, considering it has a date.
>>53960632
yeah it was probably one of these
To the people here who have luxury watches is it true that the companies who make them scam you when it comes to parts and repairs?
>>53960974
Be more specific.
anyone got some good recommendations for buying my gf a watch? she likes the DW with the brown leather and silver case. I cant seem to find much like that and don't look or seem like shit. > $180 preferably.
>>53961036
Say you a rolex or an omega with a ceramic bezel and you chipped it would you just be able to buy a bezel from them and install it or would you have to send your watch back to them and get a full service
>>53961060

>>53961070
Certain companies only sell watch components to 'authorized' watchmakers. They may be varying levels of pushy when trying to upsell you.
>>53961060

If you're buying an expensive watch it is assumed that you are willing and able to take good care of it. I would not call that a scam.
>>53961268
>If you're buying an expensive watch it is assumed that you are willing and able to take good care of it.
Im not suggesting one would be rough with it or go out of the way to test it however if a company refuses to allow spare parts to be brought without tacking on an additional service and do not disclose this then they are being dishonest and arguable scamming.

>>53962324
That's not the models, but a quick search on the NA distributor's website shows me MSRP of FEM6500AM9 is 295 and FAA02005D9 is 335. That's a 40 dollar difference in MSRP.
>>53955460
They share a similar horrible taste in aesthetics that's for sure.
>>53962383
Msrp, no one's gonna pay that when retailers have the II's for $5 more.
>>53962451
At retail island used to sell CEM6500AM for 149
and currently sells FAA02004B 185. That's 36 dollars different still.

I'd like to brush my Amphibia cases too. Do you know of other cheaper alternatives?
>inb4 scotch brite
>>53964346
I used one of these to brush the finish on my SKX013, although I removed the crystal and stuff and brushed the whole case in a uniform pattern, doesn't look anywhere near as good as it did new, but a lot better than it did after I slid across the road after a motorcycle crash
>>53964439
could you post before and after pics pls?
And did you exactly this tool with the rotating brush it comes with?

Also am I allowed to shake the watch to rewind it?

do you mean loud?
It's not very loud at atll.
>>53968264
Yeah my bad.
i mean if it is tolerable. I don't want anything remotely close to the Weekender because it could drive me insane.
>>53968407
It's an automatic not a quartz so it doesn't do TICK TICK TICK, it's more like ticktickticktickticktick as it ticks 6 times per second.
>>53968462
Is the weekender that bad? Would it be annoying in public to other people?
>>53967650
Any of the invictas with NH35A seiko movement is OK. You might also want to look at the Orient Mako or Ray.
Rate?
>>53968550
It is loud but an average amount of ambient sound would probably drown it out, especially if it were under a sleeve.

Even worse here, a seller of vintage watches on eBay.
>>53969506
Blame Seiko, they love to discontinue any models that are actually interesting in favor of boring salaryman shit. I myself long for one of these.
>>53964346
If you're going to buy power tools please for the love of god buy something decent quality and not some fake alibaba garbage.

Is that a magnifier right in the middle? That's an... interesting design.
Also, pic related. Seems to be discontinued, and knowing my luck, quite recently (it's still in a lot of stores, but sold out everywhere).
>>53969740
The fact that it's not magnifying anything should tell you it's not.
It's a faceted crystal.
>>53969723

>>53969723

That's a mistake, it's a men's watch. But also why does it even matter? There's not really any difference between men's and women's watches unless you specifically pick one which is very feminine.

It could interest you if you live in Germany, because I'm only shipping within the country.
Thanks to the anon who recommended navy and red zulu for the SKX009 a couple of weeks back, it's certainly a nice fit.

You probably can't get all of them.
Feature bloat is the death of aesthetics, and anyway a few of the things on your list are individually uncommon.
Casio has some not-completely-terrible looking watches in the Pro Trek, Wave Ceptor, and Edifice lines. They tend to do weird feature combinations as limited Japan-only releases and shit like that.
You might want to check out the Tissot T-touch, which I know has at least one solar powered variation and is reasonably attractive. A few other mid-range watchmakers offer "analog digital" options. Bell & Ross, Breitling, and others.
Basically you've gotta deal with the fact that aesthetics are a feature too. One that might be mutually exclusive with having a long list of others.
>>53970047
Didn't you posted in the las thread that your watch was off for 15 a DAY?
You german jew.
>>53970047

I panicked a bit too much yesterday because I didn't wind the watch for 2 months and that affects the accuracy because the hairspring needs some previous running-in.
>>53962554
Looking for one for my speedy. Found any good sellers?
>>53970842
Quite nice, if I'm any judge.
Solid stainless steel links of good material and workmanship. Feels substantial on the wrist.
Not the fanciest deployment on the market, but it is well put together and hasn't given me any issues after a few years.
>>53970930
Looks for a Cordura strap, either by Morelatto or Hadley Roma.
>>53970971
I can second this, mid-tier Casio bracelets are quite good, links are usually solid and do feel very pleasant on the wrist.
>>53954024
>drop it
>it's broken
Not really perfect.

Christopher Ward C7 Rapide?

You're welcome.

Pepsi is growing on me a lot now, I guess if my SKX ever craps out on me my next beater will be a pepsi. Too bad the new SRPs don't have the red/blue bezel and blue dial like the SKX, it looks like you have to choose either red/blue bezel and black dial or blue bezel and blue dial. I guess it would be pretty easy to mod the all blue version with a red/blue insert.

This watch looks really really good, EXCEPT for the fucking star on the seconds hand. What the fuck, why does every watch that looks good have this one minute detail that fucks it up, why?!
>>53971481
Because you are a bitch?
>>53966681
Save and try to find this on /f29/.

So I've been browsing that skywatches website that was posted on the thread a while ago because they have good prices.
Gonna get myself a Seiko 5, and I'm doubting between this two.
Any improvement on the more expensive one or just different dial? Both are on my budget.
>>53971511
The whole watch looks great, just that star, what he hell it doesn't even really fit the rest.
>>53970911
Not samefagging, you scamming cunt.
Also, fuck you, a regulated watch doesn't looses 15 minutes a day just because you haven't use it in a while. Al long as it is winded it should work.
>>53971548
35mm diver is definitely ladies size, that's the same as the women's promaster divers.
>>53971557
Same movement, same case and different dial.
Trick is that the SNK809 is the most popular Seiko 5 model, so it's more available and cheaper to boot.
>>53971564
>doesn't even really fit the rest.
Read some El Primero history, retarded faglord.
>>53971613
Thanks for the tip.
It's 48€ vs 65€ but damn if the dial on the left doesn't look good.
>>53971557
The one on the right's dial is nicer
>>53971600
Omegas newest womens' diver is 40mm :^(
>>53971600
35mm is a men's watch, unisex at a push. I consider under 30mm to be a women's watch.
I really hope we go back to a sensible sized watch trend again soon.
>>53971689
The dial on the 809 looks better to me, the numerals on the N33 are too big IMHO.
>>53971799
>I really hope we go back to a sensible sized watch trend again soon.
Fuck that!
I expect to see sleeve-length watches ASAP.
Just a few more generations and we'll have tuxedo power armor.
>>53971913
So in a couple of years we will go full Yugioh mode?
>>53971949
FUUUUAAARK

I want a fuseé and chain with a chainsaw chain.
And planetary biaxial tourbillons with 3cm spherical hairsprings.

For similar features and acceptable looks, check anadigi Edifices: http://www.casio-intl.com/asia-mea/en/wat/edifice/ana-digi/
For even nicer watches, albeit no anadigi, thus less features, check Oceanus: http://www.casio-intl.com/asia-mea/en/wat/oceanus/
I always say how I don't get why normies pay for batterymonkey, but now I think maybe they should. I was given a Citizen 5510 and an ISA 307 where the owner basically tore out the old batteries and everything that was holding them down. But no worries, he fixed the new batteries into place with scotch tape :^)
>>53971711
>>53971816
I actually like both, so maybe I'll go with the cheaper one and get some straps with the rest of the money.
>>53972279
You should get some straps for it.
>>53972279
get a NATO and a leather hirsch or something
>>53972313
>>53972338
Brown leather on this will look good.
A black nato would be an obvious choice as well.
>>53972540
I'd get one of these Hadley Roma oil tanned straps.
Don't go for thick straps like pic related, the thinner they are the comfier it is.
>>53972629
They look good, is there any recommended store for EU customers?
Buying from eBay would cost me around 30€.
The only fashion brand watch I'd ever wear.

This dude is very pleasant to deal with, decently fast shipping from the UK and at 26euros~
Though i think some of the American sellers have different models on the bay sell it cheaper.
>>53972877
Damn, straight into my face
>Does not ship to Spain
I'll search for something similar, thanks for the hint.
>>53972793
watch-band-center is ok and cheap.
>>53972929
kek
And they ship it all the way to jewistan.
Try this one, personally familiar with this model and it's quite nice.

>>53972971
Thanks guys, I'm settled for brown leather.
Not sure about nato, they look a bit too sporty for me.
>>53972852
not that you could afford it
>>53973218
Of course not. I mean, I'd wear it, but $20k for a fashion brand watch? You've got to be a fucking idiot to spend that kind of money on a fashion brand watch. The only reason that makes it appealing is it's ultra thin movement and dial.
>>53956547
I got a Borealis, second hand, and it's a pretty great watch. If your budget is around $300, microbrands tend to offer a lot; decent automatic movements, sapphire crystals, and some less-than-common design elements.
Thoughts about Watches from asos.com?
>>53974587
That's just a retailer selling dogshit fashion watches.
>>53961949
How is the watch? I only hear positive things about that watch and ORIENT in general.
I thought about getting pic related
Rich sandnigger bump
>>53975640
Man that's terrible.
That being said, I really do like it when sports watches have leather straps that still use steel end links that fit the case.
>>53975640
I only count 3 diamonds.
Tasteful and sober by the standards of some.
Unless the caseback is all diamonds?
>leather straps that still use steel end links that fit the case.
Yessssss.
I hate >that gap.
Newfag here, looking into getting an older Seiko. What are the ways in which you can tell they are genuine? What are the most blatant signs of a fake? Pic related.
Why dont you own a g-shock? Its robust, reliable and even celebrities wear them. Cant be that bad when its more accurate and tougher than anything mechanical.
