If I would take something looking like pic related to the watch service guy, could he buff it up into better shape, clean it generally, and go through the mechanics to make sure it runs smoothly? Or is it not worth the trouble? Starting price at an auction is 800 EUR.

You can do whatever you want, bud. Those scratches aren't really going to be noticeable unless you look at your watch two inches from your eyes.

Would be nice if the strap guide had direct links to websites, or maybe a visual infographic?
Can I get a recommandation on a watch?
I want a $2-300 with this band type: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQX3LBI/ref=s9_simh_gw_g241_i2_r?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-2&pf_rd_r=0YXGFCDTHFG47RX2PQ68&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=dc68ddd1-99ac-45e5-8c23-e9e0811a2b2c&pf_rd_i=desktop
I had a sturling prestige with a black face that was similar and it was pretty nice, ended up breaking after 3-4 years. Might get that one again but I'd like some recs from those who may be more knowledgeable than me
>>54539472
I got this from the previous thread. Maybe there are more similar ones?
>>54539800
Oops, you were talking about straps. Never mind.

Scratches on the link-bracelet arent noticeable at all

>>54540547
what was your watch?
I love my sea master, not only was it a special gift but it's has nostalgic value being from Goldeneye and all. (Although mine isn't the exact same version, it's close enough)

Not wearing a watch just feels wrong to me now.

Thank you for your comment, stranger!
Any current Seiko thin, time only (date at max), manual and with a display case that doesn't cost more than 500€?
>>54539873
I guess you're right. I'm probably more worried about how far one should be willing to bid on the thing given the non-mint condition. Especially since you can't check the mechanics and have no way of verifying its function. And it's not even that great looking or particularly special.
>>54540629

Snyper Ironclad is up there. If you remember my GPHG threads there's this one that can attach to 'snyper modules' like a laser and lighter attachment.
It's like 20k.

I can kinda understand a flash light since always having a source of light is convineant, but why a tactical laser? The thing looks like some cheap shitty toy for a child.
>>54543297
We had three or four entire threads filled with his dumb blind's watch when he got it, shut the fuck up, it was nauseating. Nothing but shitposting about the watch for three entire threads and ninefag acting like a goddamn peacock because of a dogshit watch.

Opinions on these?
I dig the styling but I don't know shit about watches.
>>54543725
I have one. For one, don't get that shitty gold model; second, the bracelet is crap and doesn't fit well. If you have small wrists it is guaranteed to fit like crap, I have 7.5 inch wrists and it wasn't good. Very cool looking watch though, I get a lot of compliments on it. Wait until you can snag one for less than $150, paying over 200 like I see most of them listed is fucking stupid.
>>54539557
Anyone?

Orient Symphony is the closest i can think of.
Great watch for the money and can be either black or white dialed.
>>54543927
Very nice. Out of my price range though (but hey maybe I'll just save and wait it out)
>>54543931
I'm seeing some good interesting options.
Thanks for the suggestions.
>>54543725
Aren't they impossible to find now? Really like the look, very retro.
>>54543256
>Do you have a problem with my countrymen?
Yes:)
Also anyone ever looked into making a one way bezel on an Amphibia? There must be some way to fit one on it.
Is tudor black bay /g approved
I cant post my other nice watches here without bullying from people with 100 dollar seikos
It hurts
>>54544263
>Caring what autists think
Fuck the plebs.
>>54544220
Well stay mad son, or come to visit and hate us even more.
But with how the grooves that hold the bezel in place are built ins standard Amphibias, it's not very feasible.
The only way would be to also make a custom case that has a clickball like contraption with a custom bezel. Which would have a Seiko~like bezel action.
>>54544263
Yup.
>>54544263
hell yeah

Any love here for the seiko monster divers?
Ive wanted one for a long time, they look fun
>>54544498
I actually kind of like that.
This isn't something I would wear, but at least the design seems to have been thought out and not just random shit put together (apart from the dashing in the chapter ring for the first 20 minutes).
It would be even better with tritium tubes though.
>>54544387
Still not likely to be very feasible anyhow.
>>54544543
I'm about to buy one.
As soon as i unload my Citizen.
Is there any way to keep consistent time without regulating the watch? Or is consistent time keeping an unrealistic expectation? Yesterday I was -2s today I'm ~+4s. It's not really a big issue I'm just wondering.
>>54544600
I like the ones with orange dials. Possibly with a black rubber strap. Maybe blue.
I dont like the xs series too much
>>54544697
That's quite good for a Vostok.
Also, keeping consistent time in absolute values is impossible, a variety of external and internal factor qill always change the time keeping.
That's why manufactures of watches don't say their watches run at +5s or something, they say -5/+10, for example.
>>54544718
Thanks.
>>54544715
The Orange Monster? Great watch for the money.
They having amazing lume and good bracelets. The Z20 strap they come with is meh at best.
>>54544697
To be fair, they usually gain like +30~45 secs new out of the factory.
My unregulated does +40 and regulated does +5 a day.
>>54544220
>Aren't they impossible to find now?
They're very common on ebay but finding a good deal on one is hard.
>>54544498
I've seen that ugly shit posted before. Its way to large for your wrist
>>54544771
It actually was at -40s a few days ago. If it goes back to that I might kill myself.
>>54544697
PROTIP: time.gov is not down-to-second accurate due to browser and http related shit. Your PC clock will be in sync though (at least on Gahnoo/Loonix).
Also listen to DCF-77 on 77.5kHz:

>>54544863
Let's hope it doesn't.

>>54544275
What's so nice about the Black Bay anyways? It just looks like yet another diver to me. Might as well buy a real Submariner?
>>54544771
The only annoying thing is that very few jap versions have sapphire.
Hardlex and regular mineral glass are shit for regular use, maybe not for something unrealistic like diving
My fathers 15+year old tag heuer link has a slightly domed sapphire glass and its still flawless
>>54544938
I like the way it looks. Rolex is something people buy for 5€ on the beach at Gran Canaria. Its ruined for me, nice watch tho
>>54544938
New Rolex subs don't look anything like that.
>>54544900
Cool, thanks.
>>54544941
If it's sapphire you want...
http://www.watchsleuth.com/seikodiverfinder/search/?CRM[]=Sapphire
>>54544941
Well, there is the newer SBDC025 Monster Gen3 with the 6R15 movements and Sapphire glass, but they are twice as expensive as the older Gen2 SRP307/309/313 that i'm trying to get.
It shouldn't be too hard to find Sapphire glass for the 2nd Gen Monster's to be fair.
>>54545019
Im mostly looking at creationwatches.com, nice deals on seiko.
Too many seikos, its a jungle out there. Just make one each REEE
haven't managed to scratch it yet
>>54544941
I would rather Seiko just use sapphire on everything rather than Hardlex, but to be fair I've been beating up my SKX007 for a couple of years now and the crystal is still totally flawless so they're obviously doing something right, whether it's the hardness of Hardlex over regular mineral glass or whether it's the way the crystal is recessed under the bezel.
My Seiko 5, on the other hand, has its crystal totally beaten to shit and it looks awful. I'm not sure if it's because that crystal is much more exposed or if they just use a much shittier type of """Hardlex""" on cheaper models.
Databanks need more love in this thread
>>54545276
>it's the way the crystal is recessed under the bezel.
This senpai. I don't think Seiko could afford to put sapphire on all of their watches though.
>>54545276
Its the position of the crystal. I have two seikos, pretty sure Hardlex is an actual material, mineral glass is code for garbage.
My mineral glass is scratched to shit
My other seiko sportura has a huge ass oval sapphire, its flawless.
Hardlex is probably ok but I doubt they make domed out of it, would not trust 100%
>>54545337
ive tested my cousins gfs watch for sapphire, since it forms a drop on contact instead of spreading. It was a 20€ piece of shit
Maybe its a coating
>>54545337
>>54545374
Seconding position of the crystal.
I couldn't even scratch a shitty Timex I have with mineral glass thanks to that. The bezel really takes more hits than you'd think.
there's nothing wrong with arts school
My father has a re-issue Heuer gmt with some domed plastic, he changed it at least once.
Now thats garbage
Are there any submariner knockoffs with no date? I have an MDV106 but I think dates on analog watches are absurd.
>tfw I'm now a battery and strap monkey
At least till the boss watchmaker decides I'm ready for mechanicals. Until then I work on my own mechs. It's a cushy as fuck job though where you could jew the normies for easy peasy shit they should know how to do themselves. I literally have to set the time when I hand the watch back or else they'll come back asking me to set it for them.

>>54546135
No. In fact I think your pic is already too close from the sub.
If I'm getting a japanese watch, I don't want it to be an homage to a swiss watch.
>>54546264
A lot of people just wear them for fashion. But after a while, you start to become accustomed to checking the time on your wirst instead of having to take out your phone.
I personnally spend most of the time I'm outside the house in places with no clocks.
So I do wear a watch for functionality. The reason I choose to wear a mechanical watch over a cheap quartz digital is partly for fashion, and mostly because it's become a hobby. I'm interested in the movements, the designs...
>>54546310
Sounds about right. Hope you get to achieve your dreams anon.
>>54546264
>Do you really need to check time that often or is it for fashion.

>implying you know what a proper job is
>>54546487
How?
Is it the non-submariner looking case?
Or is it the non-submariner hands?
Or the non submariner dial except round hour markers?
Or the day and date window? That's totally Submariner-like, right?
Maybe it's the bezel I guess?
Or the crown with its crown guards?
It's nothing like a Submariner.
Is the Timex Weekender any good for a cheap analog?
>>54546619
Not him, but bezels, indices, dial color, text on dial, crown guard
>>54546661
It's pretty good yes.
Be aware that it does tick pretty loudly. You will definitely be able to hear it on your nightstand at night, or in a quiet room.
>>54546704
The crown guards look nothing like the submariner's.
Neither the bezel, its indentations are too shallow on the Seiko, and the format is totally different.
The text on dial is also different (fuckhuge 5 shield on it, different fonts, etc).
They have the same colour. Oh wow, just like 8917256891761 other watches that are black.

no we don't, why would a mechanical watch be a child's toy? if anything it'd be the exact opposite of something a child should be trusted with.
a Kid could break the K&R without even trying.
>>54546264
yes I need to check the time that often, I'm an autistic nerd and I can't stand that all the wall clocks at my workplace are several minutes slow or fast when the technology exists for them to be perfectly accurate all the time.

If you can't set the time on a wristwatch you might as well kill yourself, in all honesty.
TGV has just released his Citizen Promaster NY0040 review.
Let's start the SKX-killing shill.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j1G8U2WcBk
Surprised this plain watch isn't more popular with anons. I must be getting old.
>>54547571
It's not about being able to do it or not. They're paying you to do it.
>>54547624
Same shit in my book. You're not worthy to live if you delegate something like that.
>>54547571
>>54547624
I love how they can't set the time for themselves yet they bitch about the price of a battery change.
They basically want the Energizer button cell at the price of a chink cell. Minus my work fee for a proper battery swap and the profit on the battery, of course.
Also they never want the waterproof test, since it costs extra. They coughed up quite some shekels for a 100m Edifice or a 200m Doxa and they don't want it to stay waterproof, get it?
>>54547590
Because there's a Seikio that's just as good and much cheaper than that Swatch jewish watch.

Don't really know any seiko ad's near me. Can't really just buy anything because of the small wrist size I have.

Didn't really strike me as one. Its called a field watch, but it doesn't strike me as "tacticool mall ninja" type at all.
>>54548211
e-eh?
>>54548383
I've seen u on /a/ buyfag threads before. You've never used My Figure collection?
>>54546731
Any similarly-good cheap analogs that are quieter?
sup /wt/ , im a complete normie when it comes to watches, i want to get a watch for myself and i have about 40$ to spend (buying online preferably), id like a good quality lasting watch please, any recommendations are highly appreciated.
>>54548615
Save more money.
>>54548628
id like a cheap watch at first desu, but eventually id like to invest in a good 100-300$ watch.
>>54548615
What kind of watch though?
>>54548667
anything desu, something not too flashy, minimal and clean i guess, but not digital, like a real analog one i guess.
>>54548514
There's the Seiko SNK809 that can be found around $50, but it's a mechanical watch.
For quartz, the chrono version of the Weekender (or Expedition) doesn't have the loud ticking.
Anything from Casio, Citizen or Seiko you like the look of should be of good quality.
>>54548675
There's the Timex Weekender we were just talking about. It ticks quite loudly, which is an issue for some people.
>>54548615
>>54548675
Komandirskie.
Dirt cheap and reliable, lots of styles.
>>54548712
>Timex Weekender
thanks alot anon, this is actually perfect, it looks good, is 30$ on amazon, and the ticking shouldn't be a problem for me desu
My grandfather had a similar watch to this which has a green strap which looks worn out and its pretty cool (he was in the royal navy in 1944), sadly he passed away and my dad keeps it for the time being but it will be passed down to me soon i hope.
>>54548761
>hoping your dad will die soon
that's messed up, anon
best USSR watch?
>>54548792
fuck off with that commie shit
>>54548792
Strela.
>>54548791
shit no, i mean my dad will pass it down when im old enough, id never want him to pass away.
>>54548761
the bezel or whatever it is, is a bit too large for my liking, i like the timex desu.
>>54548792
Vostok Amphibia, Raketa watches, Poljot chronos. Probably these.
>>54548843
if your dad doesn't wear it, ask him for it. Gramps would probably enjoy knowing it was still being used instead of sitting in a drawer somewhere.
>>54548882
this is probably a good idea, but my dad keeps it now as great sentimental value and i wouldnt want to have something of such value on me all the time yet desu
>>54539164
Is that watch fecked up as it skips and stuff? Should I avoid buying one of them?
New version of the Tuna. Basically more red and a PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) sign. And a blue sunburst dial instead of the flat black.
>>54549013
>Tuna
no
>>54549013
>PADI
And no respectable diver will ever wear one during a dive.
>>54549024
Oops, I meant Turtle. Both start with "Tu"
>>54549013
I'm not sure if it's worse than the Prospex icon or not.
>>54549047
Still better than Omega's Olympic clown-watches.

>good quality lasting watch
>>54549295
you're an idiot.
>>54549295
Yeah anon why don't you spend $200 in a watch that will lose seconds each day and will require maintenance equal to its price 10 years down the line rather than just changing the battery for $2?
>>54549334
you're also an idiot.
>>54549344
I don't think this anon expected a Rolex for $40, but clearly he can get a good quality and lasting watch.
>>54549334
>quartz watches don't also need servicing 10 years down the line
Enjoy disposing of the whole movement when it inevitably fails.
>>54549412
then you just buy a new one, they are cheap.
>>54549412
Quartz analogs certainly don't need servicing after a mere 10 years. Digitals never need any.
Please don't invent things just because it suits your opinion.
>>54549323
No, I'm not. At $40 you can get a cheap quartz that will last you a couple of years at best if you wear it everyday and then you have to throw away.
>>54549334
Because I'm not a pleb shiteater?
>>54549439
Try not being a shit kid and taking care of your possessions. You will discover that things can in fact last a very long time.
>>54549520
>wearing a $40 watch everyday for 2 years while you do a real job that's not sitting at a desk for 8 hours doing nothing
>having the watch lasting more than that
Try doing something in your life.
Between the Amphibia and the Komandirskie which one would /wt/ recommend in terms of accuracy.
Should I be afraid of looking like a commie wearing one?
>>54549609
No, really, I never had a problem with that. You're just a shit kid who bangs his shit around for no reason.
>>54549610
People don't look that closely to watch as you would think. There could be dicks on the dial, no one would notice. So you won't look like a commie, even with cyrillic characters and red stars, and even if people notice, they're more likely to find it interesting than anything else.
Also Komandirskies are slightly more durable because simpler manual movement with less moving parts, but overall they're the same thing.
>>54549610
There should be no difference in accuracy, they use the same movement, except for the automatic windind in the amphibia. Don't expect very good accuracy out of them.
And depending on your choice of dial, yes, they sometimes look very commie. Doesn't mean that you will look like a communist for having a small red star on the dial of your watch, since nobody will ever look at it.
>>54549691
>Also Komandirskies are slightly more durable because simpler manual movement with less moving parts, but overall they're the same thing.
Nah. They're shittier because the case isn't steel. The automatic movement isn't magically less solid.
>>54549649
I'm not, I'm an ocd maniac who keeps very good care of his stuff. Stop talking about things that never happened and you don't know.
Cheap shit is gonna break, end of story.
>>54549712
I was only talking about the movement anon, but you're welcome to talk about the cases.
>>54539164

It's $25. Buy another in 10 years, genius.
>>54549795
You sound like a 12 year old.
>>54548992
Nah, I think that's just how she hums. Keeps pretty good time.
From the 27th to the 30th it's within 2 seconds a day.
>>54547419
Certain manufacturing industries prohibit anything on the hands, like watches, bracelets and rings due to risk of degloving incidents.
>>54550117
Also, that's the chronograph seconds hand running. The constant seconds hand runs smooth.
That dial, goddamn.

Of those two I'd take the spring drive.
If it were my choice I'd take this though. An SBGR095 is fine too.

Im a nub. What is this?
Why are the overwhelming majority of atomic watches ugly?
>>54549712
>The automatic movement isn't magically less solid
That is definitely debatable. A Komandirskie will survive anything you'll throw at it, but there are a few anons who have reported having fuckups with the automatic rotors on their Amphibias. Keep in mind that Seiko rotors rarely use their weights or disconnect from the movement entirely.
>>54554545
I wish vostok still made handwind only amphibias.
