Hard to say, any Youtube reviews you could link? A lot of cheap watches, especially Casios look like shit on shop pics, but look not too bad irl. Pic related, I know this one actually looks good irl.
>>54291516
Prolly too big for you but the white dial one.
>>54291361
Fifth for NY0040 >>> SKX007
Do you think a Pepsi bezel could be an everyday wear? Or is it too colourful?
>>54291973
Depends where you go every day.
>>54291516
If you're going to get an Edifice, you may as well get one with a bracelet. They have nice bracelets and presumably awful leather straps.
>>54291851
I've tried a 43mm watch and its was big but acceptable. Amazon says that one is 44mm I think it wont look too out of place.
>>54292115
I'll get a nato strap either way. But I dont necessarily want to go edifice. They just seem to have the best prices.

>>54292757
How is this related to watches?
Where can I buy watch cases? As in cases that you can make your own watch with.
>>54293612
Ebay, Aliexpres, sometimes there is some decent deals on Etsy.
>>54291516
The panda is slightly better but those bezels are dogshit tier.
>>54293856
Dumb question but how do I search for them? "Watch cases" only leads to cases to put your watch in.
>>54293878
Depends what you're trying to do.
Easy way is to make something on the basis of a 2824 or a chink clone of one, search something along with movement and case, or just watch model and case.
>>54293906
Would it be crazy to try to make something with the Poljot 3133 movement as a total newbie? Also what's the smallest case a movement can be put in? Does it differ from case to case? Aside from the diameter and thickness are there other restrictions to movement and watch case compatibility?
>>54293954
Again, depends what you're trying to pull off here.
Are you trying to just pick a random case?
Or pick a case that's already made to fit a Poljot 3133 or Valjoux 7733/7734? (likely 7736 and another couple of close variants, but unsure)
>>54291361
Just got this beauty.
I'm loving it
>>54294009
I don't have any experience with this. I just want to make watch for myself but I thought that if I used a premade case it would save a lot of money and effort. The main focus is on the dial anyways.
>>54294117
If you have no idea what you're doing, you will fuck it up.
You can't just slap things together with no experience.
>>54294188
Couldn't I pay a watchmaker to assemble it all?
>>54294229
Much better idea than trying to do it yourself. Do your research properly, not only on a mongolian cave cartoon exchange.
But i'm curios as to what you're trying to achieve.
>>54294056
>Just got this beauty

Sassafrass, I...
>>54294056
Then stop wearing it like a retard.
>>54294117
There was an anon who put his own watch together after buying a movement, dial, case, hands... I don't think he posts very often though.
And we had a watchmaker but he almost never posts anymore.
Beyond that, I don't think many of us have experience with this. I'd suggest looking somewhere else, I'm sure there are resources/reports from people who did the same thing.
>>54294305
>Do your research properly
Where can I do it though?
>But i'm curios as to what you're trying to achieve.
I don't know if this is silly but after spending months looking at watches there just isn't one that I like at a price I can afford.
>>54294411
maybe you just don't like watches :^)
>>54294411
Have you tried looking at the various Valjoux 7733 or 7734 chronos out on eBay?
Couple of pretty examples out there, some in the sub~450 range.
>>54294467
>Couple of pretty examples out there, some in the sub~450 range.
Any that I like were also hyped by watch blogs so they are pretty expensive now. I mean there are some cool affordable vintage chronos but the designs are often too wacky for me.
>>54294402
What's wrong with it?
>>54294117

You're not making anything.

Oh my bad, you're not even assembling it yourself.
Just what the shit is the point?
>>54294499

7733's usually come with pretty nice clean dial, at times odd cases.
Pic related is 340 euros shipped for example.
>>54294533
You're wearing it on your hand.
It's supposed to go under the wristbone.
You know.. Wristwatch. Not handwatch.
>>54294566
it's not a watch anyway
>>54294533
>>54294056
It's amazing in its own right, that this wikihow exists.
And also amazing how anybody actually need it.
>>54294538
>Just what the shit is the point?
The point is to assemble a watch I like.
>>54294551
I don't like the case shape and dial color.
>>54294584
Then it shouldn't be in this thread.
>>54294600
>The point is to assemble a watch I like.
Good luck. I'm going to bet that either;
1. It's going to be an ugly motherfucker
or the more likely
2. You're never going to follow through.
>>54294600
You could just type Valjoux 7733 on eBay and see if there's anything like.
>>54294633

Do something yourself at least, since you're not even going to assemble it.
>>54294641
So you looked at all the options for the dials and cases and didn't like jack.
Guess that's enough spoonfeeding for today.
>>54294652
That image needs to be posted a whole lot more often.
>>54294056
Is that an actual fitbit or a chink one?
Because the chink ones are 6 bucks and work just fine
got my new Seiko Prospex today. I'd wanted a diver for a while and seemed like a nice choice. I prefer the design over the SKX

I think mechanical watches are overpriced, inferior and pretentious.
But this guys instagram is hilarious, https://www.instagram.com/fakewatchbusta/
>>54294760
I know I'm the resident Casio and digital watch shill, but is their smartwatch any good?
I imagine they fixed the water proofing issue that even Apple couldn't get right.
>>54295001
At least mechanical watch movements can be repaired. Good luck repairing a broken circuit.
>>54294772
>>54294860
it came with a black rubber strap, which I didn't like at all. The only other 22mm I have available is an army green zulu.
I agree that the blue doesn't work well with black and gold. What do you think would look good?
>>54295082
I actually like the look of the rubber on this watch.
But I guess black nato/zulu, silicone, or sailcloth could all work. Isofrane-style rubber too.
>>54295082
Black or Bond NATO would work.
Rubber would be best though, just boil it in a small cup and it'll fit better.
Also yeah the alignment is definitely off. Seiko really needs to stop this shit. I can understand it on an SKX but your watch is just too expensive to have a bezel like that.
>>54295001
I've been looking at Quartz GS models lately.
What's the best movement to have in one?
>>54295071
In the olden days, if you were decent with soldering and knew what kind of capacitor or resistor you were looking for, you could easily fix a busted quartz movement.
Now it's getting much harder as a lot of the old school electronics shops are being replaced with outlets that peddle consumer gimmickry.

Or i could just buy a new one since they aren't overpriced? Quartz watches are also far more durable than mechanical. Perhaps I'm biased because i hate rappers, but it seems that most of the hype around mechanical watches is just to showoff how much money you can waste on a depreciating asset.

I've heard a few times that Seiko makes them like this on purpose. The idea is that the bezel would be a bit out of alignment when brand new and it would wear in to the correct position after a while.
Kinda like how Amphibias are all too fast out of the factory.
>>54295474
pls respond
>>54295578
something like this perhaps?
>>54295604
I think it would work, though this color scheme is definitely sensitive to quality. A chink Ebay Special will look like shit, but a high quality or MOD-spec will be bretty gud.
>>54295681
Yeah, that's what I mean. Check out Phoenix, I don't think it's overly expensive for Seiko Prospex.
>>54295475
I don't usually like gold watches, but that looks sort of nice.
>>54295635
That's really not a big issue with them, lot's of other manufacturers happen to have the same issues. The larger issue with some of the Seiko divers like is the misaligned chapter rings, which are a lot harder to fix.
Amphibias on the other hand, are cheap and robust. Plus adjusting it yourself isn't that hard.
>>54295670
>>54295474
This is a hard one. I'm not sure if it's bold or ugly.
>>54295551
>Or i could just buy a new one since they aren't overpriced?
Assuming the watch you want to buy is still being made.
>but it seems that most of the hype around mechanical watches is just to showoff how much money you can waste on a depreciating asset.
People that are not interested in watches don't even know anything about them so that point is moot. Realistically some cheap fashion watch will probably result in more compliments than some nice mechanical.
>>54295737
there's also a blue and silver/black varient that i think look better

>>54295793
The proportions, that empty space, looks awkward. The minute hand hovers over the minute markers instead of pointing to them.
>>54295829
it only looks like it hovers from that perspective. But i guess we can agree to disagree, about the empty space i think it's got a clean look which i can apreciate, it dosen't distract the eye from unnecessary features
>>54295876
Do yourself a favor and get a Max Bill.
Did you guys know that you can get a cheap and reliable watch with an automatic movement and decent finishing for 20$? Stop getting kiked by companies like Seiko, Orient, Boctok and MANY MORE - introducing the new Value 8850 chronograph movement - actually it's better than a chronograph, because the subdials tell you the date instead of worthless information like milliseconds. Srsly boys, there is no need to buy from ANY non Chinese company anymore. I bought this breitling navitimer off of aliexpress for 20$ and I've never seen a Rolex or pajeet phillipe in person but I'm sure the finish on this watch rivals them pretty closely.
>>54295967
hey at least the subdials do something, it's not painted on hands like some super cheap fashion watches

I pretty much don't know anything about watches. Why do quartz watches get so much hate? They're supposedly super accurate. Isn't that the whole point of a watch? If I knew about this watch I probably wouldn't have ordered an Amphibia. That's my fault of course.

>They're supposedly super accurate. Isn't that the whole point of a watch?
To some it is. To many it isn't.
>>54296152
People are interested in mechanical for the "beauty" of it.
There's the engineering side of it, with tiny gears and springs allowing timekeeping with a very high precision. And there's the "art" side of it, because high-end watches are made by hand, with very fine decoration.
And of course there's an elitist side, because high-end stuff has mechanical movements, so some people hate on quartz because cheap watches that everyone wear are quartz.
But yes, if all you want from your watch is that it tells the time without any hassle, then you should just get a quartz.
That watch you posted an image of doesn't really look like a great watch by the way. If you think this is better than an amphibia, you really shouldn't have gotten a vostok...
>>54295916
it's nice, but for some reason i get the feeling that this watch would have great appeal to someone of the homosexual persuasion
>>54296188
>shorter life-time
Bullshit.
>>54296152
A camera can produce a more exact photo of a place, but wouldn't you rather have a painting by an artist?

Any real disadvantages when compared to an automatic?

So a photographer is not an artist for you?
>>54296288
You could just close this thread and get out. You're clearly just here to say "I don't like what you like" and this isn't interesting for anyone.
>>54296288
>Okay so people with severe Autism don't like them.
Not this discussion again, please.
>>54296311
Why yes, some are. But I can also go out and take a photo of a location and it be more exact than any painter could paint it.
Do you really not understand the point I'm trying to make, or do you simply disagree? Because I'd rather listen to your arguments than you nitpicking on a post.

This is what happens when a Citizen NY 0040 is raped by a $10 Casio watch.
Hello gents.
After flopping around asking is dis watch gud for a few threads I managed to lower my options to these five cheap watches.
Thanks to everyone who've helped me.
I'd like to hear your opinions one more once.
Which if these 5 is the best?
Note that I'll get a matching leather and nato strap no matter which I get so you can ignore the stock ones.
>>54296598
>Which if these 5 is the best?
None. The Timex Expedition is the least awful though.
>>54296598
I can't judge any of the watches based off of those pictures except T2N320.
The rest are of too shitty quality / stretched by a horrible painter.
>>54296616
Thats one for the Timex Expedition. I kinda ruled out the other Timex. Now I'm not really sure because Casio with Chronograph gives you a chronograph at the same price and other Casios look the most classiest of them all in my opinion.
>>54296653
I know I know, thats why I included the model numbers for further reference.
>>54296758

>>54296800

Are there any watch boxes out there with a drawer for bracelets/other shit that aren't overpriced?
>>54296932
Yeah, what this anon said.
>>54296800
>>54297022
I'm not sure how many tools you have. But fabricating or adapting a box for your needs might be a way to get something sweet. Could even pick everything with size, shape and exact material.
Maybe a nice dark wood.
>>54297071
Well if I wanted to go balls out I'd get some dark walnut and make a box to match my audio rack. Was hoping for something under $100 though.
>>54296152
Well that isn't exactly a dive watch
It's a pretty cool watch though, and Arnie wore it in a few movies.
>>54296871
>Not my fault you're gay.
And it's entirely your fault that you're fat.
>>54297105
Thanks, captain obvious.
>>54296598
If you want an analog Casio chronograph pay a bit more and get an Ediface, much better watches.
Otherwise go with any of the two Casio's in the middle.
MUCH quieter than the Timex watches and will look good on a variety of straps if you don't like the bracelet.
Check out the MTP line watches if you want other dressy style Casios
>>54296598
I vote for the Timex Expedition. I even like the strap it comes with.

>>54297142
I like the quietness of the two casios as well. Would they look too out of place worn with something like polo shirt and jeans though?
Btw the one with chronograph is an Ediface. Its the only one I could find thats a fitting size with chronograph.
>>54297165
One more for Expedition. Which watch would last longer? Casio or Timex?
>>54297260
>Would they look too out of place worn with something like polo shirt and jeans though?
No they would look fine
Choose a different chronograph then, that one is pretty ugly.
They will both last a long time if you take care of them.
This is also a nice model

If I'm buying a premium G-shock, I want it to look like a G-shock but much moreso. They should just throw any trace of sensible design out the window and pile on goofy, ridiculous features that have no practical application whatsoever. Pitot tubes and movement temperature indicators. Give me a fucking bluetooth link to my tire-pressure monitoring system so I can keep track of that shit in real-time.

Hey, fuck you too buddy.
All I'm saying is that I'm not afraid to wear a hideous watch if there is something fun or interesting about it to offset the appearance.
But >>54298137 is just a bog-standard G-shock with a premium pricetag Because Reasons(tm). It's an attempt at manufacturing a status piece out of thin air. There is nothing fun or interesting about it above & beyond what a normal G-shock has going on.

>>54300092
Damn nigga, clean around that cyclops.
>>54300092
The protruding cyclops was a mistake
Any recommended ways of charging my watch lume? I have a nice chink watch I got at walmart for like 10 bucks
I tried using a UV light, but the sun proved to be a bit better
>>54300215
UV laser.
>>54300266
Thanks
>>54300215
my wife's son uses the light on his phone
>>54300215
the sun

Try spreading cum on the crystal. It'll polarize indoor lights and charge the lume much faster.
It works better with black cum though (more melanin=more polarization), so you'll have to convince Jamal to stop fucking your wife for a few minutes while you suck him off.
>>54300473
>wife
you mean my boyfriend?
>>54300424
>my wife's son
Shaking my head.
You're letting down the team, anon.
my wife's boyfriend is looking to get engaged soon. What watch should I get him?
>>54300533
cockring
>>54300158
I got nfi, just looked and is not there now
>>54300533
>>54300162
>>54300159
I think that's some wierd lighting effect, or possibly from the cold it's about the 6 degrees at the moment. :/
>>54300562
it looks like lint from your shirt
my son's father uses a pet lint remover to clean his watch
>>54300533
its big and black just like him
>>54300582
Had another go
>>54300635
Least convincing fake I've seen in a while.

4 Chan needs to change the slogan to "welcome to 4 Chan, there's always one"
>>54300842
are you triggered by that anon's post?

>Casio shitposting
Just another day in the worst general on /g/.
>>54300842
if you can't look at that watch and spot at least three reasons it's an obvious repro, you must be pretty new.
>>54300885
>worst general on /g/
/g/ is more autistic and borderline schizo than /x/
that is quite the statement
>>54300885
thats not how you spell DTG or HSG
>>54300850
Nah you get used to autism on 4 Chan.
I know the truth so i don't care.
I'm just here to talk about watches
>>54300955
then why respond
>>54300603
I fucking hate the u boat watches. ..i don't even know why
>>54300977
well its probably because they're some of the most dogshit watches ever produced
>>54300955
>I know the truth so i don't care.
The truth is that you have a knockoff.
Don't take my word for it, though. Open the caseback and take a look at the movement.
>>54300985
Honestly it's the price, and the whole brand name is "u boat" made in Italy from swiss parts
this is the most tame 4chan board i've been on, its almost scary
>>54301140
>unironically being this new
>>54295001
this statement triggers the watchmaker.
god i want to punch you in the face.
>>54301440
>not like I have a vested financial interest in the matter or anything

>This entire thread.
You're losing it boys, even previous threads were far better than this shithole.

It's almost summer.
The whole show goes to shit about this time of year, every year.
>>54301480
>>54301494
See you in september then??
So, in an attempt to cure some of the extra-cancer this unfotunate thread has, I thought I could share an article so you anons could argue/appreciate/shit on a few simple tips of how to buy a new watch, instead of the regular fake-not fake/phone-wristwatch/mechanicalVSquartz, etc... arguments.
Hope you enjoy it m8s.

Not a single Oceanus
Lets fix that
>>54301870
Strap I ordered didn't fit so I made my own. It kinda works. Might do the same with red instead.
>>54302618
>>54302639
>>54302693
the cork color does not flatter your skin tone
the red would probably be better
My Grandfather left me this watch, can /g/ tell me if it's real, and if not, why?
>>54302987
Your grandpapi left you a pristine Rolex? Did the old fuck never wear it?
Regulating time.
Movement and case are both awfully clean, only few scratches on the case are my doing.
>>54302618
Cork strap is definitely interesting, but i think a different colored strap will fit better.
>>54303050
forgot the picture.
>>54302693
>>54303046
yes but he was a fudge packer so he spent most days packing fudge
>>54302987
just open the back
>>54303067
That is a Poljot 3133 movement, not Seagull. Who are you trying to fool?
>>54303098
>just open the back of your submariner
no
>>54302987
A very easy way to tell is having the box and papers, which you should have since your grandpa apparently left you a new, unworn rolex, which I'm guessing didn't come in a plastic bag.
>>54303185
Not the same anon with a Seagull, neither did i say it was a Seagull.
>>54298027
That's a real bargain. It's almost impossible to find a newer 3133 with its original bracelet and in mint state for that price. This model is nice too, has a quite good lume and looks even better on a nato.
10/10 would buy in a heartbeat.
>>54303185
You should think a little before posting.
