1st for Suwa Seikosha.
2nd for my rare Seiko 5
W-why was the other thread deleated?
>>54735726
it didn't have the subject
also my seiko5 is legit, you digishit
4th for sideways seiko
>>54735739
My upload speed fails me again
Who here owns a sarb? They were all the rage a while back

The crown is in the wrong place though
Is that even a 7s26?
>>54735726
I didn't fill out the subject line like an evolved homo-sapien and deleted it out of shame
>>54735665
What model is this?
>>54735782
>The crown is in the wrong place though
>Is that even a 7s26?
7s26b
>>54735726
How's that Pulsar lad?
>>54735782
There are models that have 3 o'clock crowns, and dials are the only unique bit about them as the dial feet are slightly different in comparison to a standard dial on a 4'oclock version.
Though a lot of the Seiko 5 sports line have 3o'clock crowns, so they really aren't rare/unique. Uncommon mostly.
>>54735817
Oh cock, you dun goofed.
You got the only variant of the 7S26 you shouldn't get.
>>54735931
why?
>The 7S26A was the original movement, introduced in 1996. It was revised with an Etachron regulator in 2006, becoming the 7S26B. Another revision, the 7S26C began appearing in 2011.
>>54735802
no idea i saved the pic from one of these threads
was going to ask the same question myself in a little while
>>54735952
The B variant has issues with the hairsprings getting stuck/fucked/misplaced.
It's not terminal, but it's a real pain to deal with since the new regulator means you'd need extra tooling instead of just a good pain of steady hands.
>>54736032
ok thanks.
it was 40€, if it breaks before 5 years I will probably try and get an estimate for repair, but if it's more than 20€ I will probably buy another.
>>54736048
Will likely need either a completely balance assemble or a donor movement, so more than 20euros.
You already said on earlier threads on how poor are you, but it still surprises me since a new Seiko 5 is just 70$~
I miss my SKX013
>>54736068
>You already said on earlier threads on how poor are you, but it still surprises me since a new Seiko 5 is just 70$~
not me?
I'm just stingy to be honest, but I don't remember writing here that I'm poor
>>54736094
Donnou.
But if you sting'ed out on buying a new Seiko 5 not much else but to deduct that you are rather poor.
>>54736232
>not much else but to deduct that you are rather poor.
I bought a 250k € house for my self 6 months ago.
stop implying shit.
>>54736232
this
seriously, watches less than $500 should really be banned from these threads
>>54736240
Kudos to you.
But i'm not trying to imply shit, you bought a decent non poo in the loo'd used Seiko 5 and that's pretty fine.
Though what i am saying is that a brand new Seiko 5 was aboot 10 euros more, not like what this >>54736265 retard is saying.
>>54736240
> €
out
>>54736288
>a brand new Seiko 5 was aboot 10 euros more
for 59/69$ on longisland I could get a pleb looking snk809, with minutes instead of hours, and matte bezel
or an orient, which to be honest people would mistake for chinky shit.
A legit looking seiko5, with a clean dial like mine is more in the 120s
>inb4 omg it's just 80 bucks are you poor
>>54736322
>bitching this much over $10
yep, you're poor.
>>54736322
There are metric shittons of various models for the Seiko 5 line, and at least a good 30 that look like yours.
Though yeah, the SNK809 is more or less the staple Seiko 5 model.
>>54736048
Just don't move it or expose it to any kind of shock and it should be fine
Serves you right for not doing any research though, this issue is well documented
>>54735911
Still torn on whether to order it or not.
I'll do it if I pull a C in orgo II. If not then I probably won't buy any watches for a while.
>>54735758
Looks like a boring, salaryman's watch.

>>54736768

I'll give you that it looks okay (although again it's not 50 euro as anon implied)
but people expecially normies are brand whores, and orient sounds like stinky chinky, plus nobody outside of watch forums has ever heard of it.

Cheaper than paying for rent (at least here), and you're free to do as you see fit to the house.

Why is it so god damn hard to find Ricoh parts? Pic related, not mine but very similar.
I'd bid on a poo2loo Indian disaster for a donor, but I'm afraid those curries actually put repainted "Ricoh" dials on Indian Citizen-clones.
Also the dial on mine is a bit fucked, the 9 on a shield is missing (kinda like Seiko's 5 logo), but at least it's still an original.

Not really.
It's been posted on threads occasionally for bump.
>>54739680
Well it's got a steel case.
Module is eh, consider it an f91w with a timer. Definitely not as intuitive as a Casio module would be.
Rubber is standard Seiko fare, you'll have to boil it and then it'll be comfy. It's got standard lugs though.
How [DRESSY AS FUCK] is the second from the left?
Would it work with a suit? Not that I give a fuck, if I like a watch I'll wear it with whatever.
>>54740822
They sometimes show up on Ebay. There are a few around, since these were regularly given to communist diplomats visiting North Korea back in the Kim Il-sung times.
My front crystal cracked today. Is there a way to repair this or am I out of luck?
>>54741057
Crystals like that are impossible to repair or replace, just trow it the trash and buy a different watch.

>Not that I give a fuck, if I like a watch I'll wear it with whatever.
Get it.
I was considering that same exact watch for this summer.
>>54741373

It's on my list for sure.
Just wondering how normies (like /wt/) would see it with a suit
>>54741401
>>54740988
>digital watch with a suit
It would be like wearing sneakers with a suit
>>54741564
How so?
Just because it displays time in a different way means it can't be worn like a traditional watch?

As somebody who detests the taste of beers all together, I can only agree with you. Hence why I prefer Gin, takes well to other flavours.
Does anyone know about a decent looking ABC watch that's square?
>>54742617
You need to take new pics Shlomo
>>54742681
What is that that you're drinking, out of curiosity. Just looks like pink lemonade. Which isn't a bad thing.
Also. Leather NATO maybe? I feel like a watch like that sort of has to have leather. But the crocodile isn't cutting it.
>>54742687
I have a tendency to get weird beers that are on sale, sometimes they are good, sometimes they are fermented Ganges water tier.

Best way to do it really. Lord only knows that the big name beers are complete piss water. God help the poor souls who think Budweiser tastes "good", or is a good beer.

>>54742793
True, but discount beers are discount beers for a reason.
We have our local brewery that sells lots of varieties of beer (really nice 11% dark) but for 2.5$ per 330 bottle i'm hesitant.
>>54742805
It's more of a term.
Just make them straight clean holes.
>>54742838
>but discount beers are discount beers for a reason.
For many reasons.
Sometimes because they're pisswater. Carling, I'm looking at you here.
Sometimes, because they're a local craft that might not sell well unless it's marked low.
>>54742864
Well, our local craft brewery is well known and makes the only good local beer. The rest of the brands are shit that are equal or worse than Carling, but still miles ahead of Baltika.
They have a small bar adjacent to their brewery and one of their most ordered dishes is literally called "Small German sausages".
>>54742878
That's the Pulsar PW3003
You can also get a Silver one, called PW3001

I'm going to find a metal 3D printing shop. Stainless steel, ideally.

>>54743582
Service is always a lot for vintage watches like that
>>54742146
Judging by the high price point, if I can rob $20,000 from each bank, I would probably have to rob 6 banks. That's including enough leftover money to pay for weapons, vehicles, fake ID's, enough money to get me to Mexico and to clean my name.
>>54741057
How did you fucked it up?
Also, yeah, you're out of luck.
>>54743598
It's not just watches, everything on ebay is """"rare"""" and overpriced because people think that every piece of shit they looted from their dead grandpa's attic is worth a fortune. If you hate trying to buy vintage watches you should try vintage cameras.

I want a twin penis quartz, but can't justify the price. Someone hold me.
>mfw waiting for my watch in the mail
Are quartz digital watches more accurate than analog quartz watches? (due to the lack of moving parts)
>pls don't bully
>>54744740
I like my single penis KQ better than my twin penis GQ, but it may just be that the KQ is in much nicer shape overall. Also the KQ runs more accurately, apparently those twin quartz movements start to have weird interactions between the crystals when they start aging and they lose accuracy and they're a bitch to re-regulate.
>>54744771
Yes if you subject them to shocks, because most analog movements have no way of knowing that the hands got fucked up so they can gain or lose time with an impact.
But in realistic normal usage, they're pretty much the same. The moving parts don't affect the timekeeping circuit.
Newfag here, is the iphone watch worth buying if I have an Iphone 6s?

What do you guys think of Seiko Sports 5 in general? I found a pepsi bezel one for around $250 and im thinking about it
>>54745286
This one? If so 250usd is a bit high for SNZF15. I'm seeing 200usd for amazon sellers. Looks decent but why don't you get the skx175?
>>54739764
been looking into these, anyone know what year they switched to swiss shit? i wanna get one from before that
>>54744996
I think it's mostly just finishing as far as I know. Here's the type II, it's perfectly functional but a little rough. It's pretty hard to find information online about these old Japanese movements.
>>54745438
most of those watches are beat to shit. why don't you just save up for something way better and a warranty?
>>54745438
Not the best phrasing, but if I'm understanding correctly you want a pre-1970.
Just bought the f91-w, am I a true /g/gentleman now?

Thanks. It's definitely the cutest chronograph I've ever had, why people can't make this size anymore, I can't say. The flyback feature is really neat, I can see it being useful for stuff like lap timing. Seems to reset to zero, runs quiet, rotor sounds smooth, I just need to figure out how to de-fuck the date wheel (quickset works so I'm hoping it's just a misaligned pawl).
And Christ, I didn't know you had a 52 KS! Where and how much? These things were pretty much the pinnacle of the 52xx movement, and I'm on the hunt.

I'm working on a bottle of the 17yo but honestly I think I like the 10 more. It seemed peatier.
Been using the watch check app.
My watch seems to vary between 0.2 and 3 seconds a day, what factors can cause this?
It seems random but i worry it could be weather (going from -2 to 30 constantly)
Or if it could be because i knock the watch around?
Just want to be more mindful of what i do with the watch
>>54748056
temperature, position, how much reserve is in your mainspring, and shocks to the movement are all going to affect the timekeeping. i'm sure there are others.
>>54748042
I really enjoy the 10 as well.
It is the alcohol content of the older probably.
Adding a couple drops of water to the uigeadail really brings out the flavor and smell.
It's too much straight unless you have burned out your taste buds or are over 65
The 10 year is mild enough to drink straight.
>>54748097
So i got both the main problems plus if i sit too long.
Thanks for confirming my suspicion.

>>54748878
Probably not
But what do you need help with? I'm not really all that sure of any models besides sea masters and dynamics
Be careful you don't over pay, it will be common to see watches with incorrect parts, e.g. Hands off another watch. Nothing all that wrong with it, but it does hurt the value
>>54748935
I just want a vintage Omega in my collection since I'm trying to getting rid of almost all my slavshit vintages.
I do like many models: Genève, De Ville, Seamaster, Constellation. I rather prefer Automatic or hand winding over quartz, but I wouldn't mind some nice looking quartz if I get a nice deal.
I'm currently following this auction of a quartz Omega Constellation, what do you think? What would be a good price for this one?
It's going now for 100€ but there's still 10h left. The seller is only willing to send within Germany which decreases the number of bidders, or at least I hope so.

>>54749025
At least it pays alright
>>54743598

There are some decently priced on eBay, unless you want to dabble with Y! auctions jp.
Probably should have mentioned the Weekdater as well.
>>54749088
Alright thanks anyway, hope some Omegafags ITT can help me with this.
>>54749185
That bezel looks awful.
There are much better Omega's up for sale.
>>54749185
>>54749252
Also while searching for Omega and finding a few good ones i came across this gem.

I think I'm gonna get an Omega f300hz at some point for that smooth tuning fork sweep. Maybe look at one of those?
>>54743517
Had one for the past year or so
I like the size and build quality, but I think the accuracy is kind of lacking. I never measured it though
But what can you expect from a 100 quid chink watch
Can a mechanical digital watch exist?
I just finished my lug adapter and paid for a plastic prototype.

I have been looking these too, I really dig the hi-beat quartz movement and the looks but they seem to be somehow unreliable judging by the high number of them on eBay being sold as "not working/for parts".
>>54746472
It's a 5256-8010 I got for $130 USD + shipping from Y! JP. I had it serviced and had a sapphire crystal put in (I also bought a NOS original crystal).
It also runs damn near +0s/d after I regulated it. At one point it ran +0s total for 12 days, never going above/below +/- 1.5s at any point.
>>54750046
>hi-beat quartz movement
Not quartz, it's a tuning fork.
>>54750084
yeah you are right, I sounded pretty ignorant.
How long does it run on average without needing to change the battery?
>>54749922
The screen is not what keeps the time, though, the screen is only the way to display the time that is kept.
btw is this an original Omega quartz movement?
The lack of logo is a bit suspicious.
>>54750128
About a year or two, depending. The later tuning fork movements (aka everything past the accutron 214) can use a larger 344/350 battery.
>>54750159
Likely.
Though it's still ugly as sin.
>>54749852
>Do you have a cnc machine?
Nope. Once I'm satisfied with the plastic prototype, I'm going to look for a relatively affordable metal 3D printing or machining service. Even though they tend to be quite pricy, it's still cheaper than getting a custom leather strap.
It's standard since I just wanted a basic lug adapter, but I designed it with ease of use in mind (I want to be able to access the spring bars easily).
Pic is what I'm basically trying to do.
>>54750196
Do you think so? I kind of like its subtle gaudy design. If I get a good price I might get it an if I don't like it or get bored of it I will resell it, like I usually do with my watches.
>>54750310
Not really, the bezel makes the entire thing plain ugly. An Amphibia or a Seiko Monster are subtle gaudy designs.
And i belong in the same group, but i resell mine for a profit. Something you won't be able to pull off easily on this one.
>>54746472
>>54750077
Seems the ranks of the vintage JDM pieces are increasing.
Now we have a 701X chrono anda 62XX weekdater. So who's willing to take the next one and go for a 8346 or some Sportsmatic?

Why so bitter Shlomo?

Not exactly bitter.
But that Omega is ugly, meaning it'll be a bitch to sell unless you're losing money on it, and you lack my Jewish photography skills.

Just mod it.

>enough money to get me to Mexico
I see you have planned this in detail.
I like the clarity, readability and tidiness of Patek Philippe watches. For my eyes though I would need lume and tritium, which is probably too outré for this brand.
>>54749713
There exists even a digital sun dial, a clever design.
Ordering one of these soon.
I like digitals.
But I also feel the urge to get something that goes well with a shark mesh for this summer.
I want things I cannot have.
On the plus side I rediscovered my gramps old late '60s Oris Star self-winding automatic so I'm going to have that repaired and slap a nice crocodile leather strap on it.
I own it, I love it
>>54751560
How accurate is the heart rate?
>>54751560
I sure love pics where you can't even see the watch.
>>54751221
Truth
I used to lust over mid range seikos, now that I could easily buy one and not even notice the effect on my money, I wouldn't wear one if it was free
Now a low end luxury watch is within easy reach but I'm only interested in rare historic pieces that cost more than a watch should cost

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191875349110
any more knowledgeable folks see anything incredibly iffy about this?
>>54752213
Not really, I've seen Amphibias with SS bezel and Seiko insert go for 100-110 bucks brand new.
That one is preowned and has some marks.
>>54752213
Seems to be 120 case with one of the correct newer dials for it.Bezel looks like a Boris bezel.
Iffy part would be that the guy tinkering with it seems to have scratch some paint off the hands while trying to remove them.
>>54752256

Why am I dirt poor?
Anybody have any experience with bronze or brass watches? I've been really tempted to get one lately. I like the way they look when all shiny and new and then they only seem to get better with age.
>>54752783
>>54753085
There are atomic clocks in various parts of the world that broadcast out a radio signal that the watch picks up to sync the time and stay accurate. As for which one to buy in that price range there can be some minor differences in features but they're all equal in terms of build quality and reliability.
>>54753440
>>54752498
Well, it's pretty comfy, domed crystal feels nice, has handwinding and it was free.
But I don't know if it is even water resistant.
Need moar gasgasbones straps. I might get an ME2 style one for my X-33. The stitching is nice.
>>54753666
There are cheaper and easier ways to look like a hobo.

Right.
I'm not a fan of G-Shock but I could use that one.
>>54743031
Id totally buy a quartz version of this for like 30 bucks.
No point in spending like 150 for a shitty chink miyota clone
>>54754835
Left. Negative displays can be more difficult to read and thus less practical.
>>54754835
>virgin-resist
Both look mall-ninja tier
+ Left looks like it's a Playskool special editon.
+ Right looks like what a tacticool autist would wear on a COD championship.
If my life depended on choosing one, I'd take the right one though.
>>54744771
Casio tough mvt watches re align the hands in case of shock, so in that case accuracy would be the same

>>54757126
SARX015 or 33.
That textured dial nigga.
>>54735665
Does anyone have any experience with Maurice Lacroix? I'm interesting in buying a Pontos 18k, but I'm not sure on the brand / watch quality.
>>54757161
the 33 isn't out yet anon. ( i don't think)
Anyone know much about the new seikos coming out?
>>54757176
They're fine. They're in that awkward price range where you're not really getting any more watch for your money, but rather getting better finishing, but if you're okay with the price for the finishing go for it.
>>54757242
The one on the right is the 33 is it not?
Looks like what comes up should I google it.
>>54757176
Their cheap stuff is largely unexciting. Cased ETA movements at a premium. But they've made some better stuff in the more expensive ranges
Wew
>>54757176
I was looking at that exact watch, but i decided to go weeb instead. You get so much more for your money.
>>54757176
>>54757266
The other candidates i currently have are:
- Tissot Heritage Navigator
- Tag Heuer Carrera Twin Time Calibre 7
- Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5
- Omega Seamaster Midsize (photo)
- Omega Speedmaster reduced
The Maurice does appeal the most to me though regarding looks.
>>54757409
Bro you should really try to expand your horizons beyond what you see when you go to the mall.
>>54757176
>>54757329
Nothing wrong with that off course.
I want to make the switch to a first luxury swiss watch. A lot of choices though.
>>54757463
I'm certainly open for other options.
>>54757409
I saw the Tissot in person and was strongly considering it because I want a worldtimer. Two things put me off:
> The worldtime wheel jumps in 1 hour increments, rather than the hour hand, so when you travel, you have to set the hour hand, then compensate by setting the worldtime wheel
> The red line on the worldtime that supposedly marks the IDL is in the wrong place
>>54757409
>>54757513
Oh, and obviously your taste is your taste, but don't buy the Aquaracer, it looks even more hideous in person than it does online which is saying something.
For an entry-level swiss watch in the range and style you're considering, also consider Baume & Mercier, Montblanc, Bremont, the new 39mm Rolex OP, cheapo Zenith
>>54757329
Brightz SDGM001?
>>54757513
I did not know about the the red line marker being in the wrong place. I do recall it has 2 location "mismatches" for Bombay/Mumbai and Calcutta/Kalkota. Off course this is a heritage watch so it's probably a design choice to have the old location names on the disk as a reference to the old Navigator watches. The watch is well priced for what it has though, an ETA 2893-3 COSC, gold plated rotor, engraved back. I'm tempted.
>>54757598
Noted, I've seen some nice Montblanc watches as well. The Rolex OP is far above my pricerange, I think.
>>54757482
I'm a fan of German companies. I suggest taking a look at some of the following brands.
Limes
Muhle-Glashutte
Sinn
Damasko
Junghans
Stowa
>>54757642
It's an attractive watch, gold, fit well (at least on my wrist) - if you can get past the annoying setting mechanism, wrong IDL (hopefully no other mistakes, but didn't check), and kind of weird clunky outer bezel, then go for it.
>>54757598
>>54757683
This, by the way, is the Tag Heuer Aquaracer that I meant. I know there are some (terrible looking) models as well.
>>54757689
Nomos might also be in your price range
>>54757689
>>54757683

>>54757718
I'd rarely would set the mechanism. I work in an international company (in Europe) working with people from Singapore and India. So the Timezone dial would be a nice functional plus for me. Plus I like how Tissot takes a GMT and uses it for something else than dual time.
>>54751194
You can switch the bracelet out
>>54754835
Why not the best G-Shock?
>>54758144
I'm currently looking into buying a gshock, could you explain what's so good about that one and what model is it?
>>54759124
Not that anon but it's solar and is radio synchronized with a atomic clock. And I believe it has a automatic backlight. It's pretty much a hands free gshock.
>>54759500
How durable is it compared to other gshocks?
>>54759568
Probably the same as the dw5600 .
https://youtu.be/v_KCjT_TCUI
>>54759568
>>54759591
My bad that's the GW5000 but they are pretty much the same when it comes to their durability.
