What a child.

kys

>>13617880
Not as funny as I'm about to be.

Check this out.

Anyone own a variant of the 1963 seagull reissue? could I ask what the watch weighs in grams? And what kind of accuracy you're getting per day? I know that's not the point of it but I'd still like to know.

First for weird eBay finds

>>13617889
sup windy?
post pics of this on a nato

>>13617928
just have that one on my pc right now, im at work, they are making me do stuff

I love this watch

Gotta catch them all!

You guys like this? Sadly it’s 40mm..

What you guys wearing today?

>>13617949
Agreed

>>13617958

Are there any watches for medical doctors?

>>13617967
Any watch with a pulsometer, really (better if it's a chronograph too).

>>13617958

>>13617974

>>13617976
How big is it?

What clothes are the most horologically significant?
Why is a plaid shirt one of them?

>>13618011
Because plaid posting is a /wt/ tradition.

i've got an old black and gold Movado just like the museum one pictured except from the early 80s.
it just need a battery replacement but how much could i sell this for?

>>13618018
Where do you guys source your plaid shirts?
What brands are the best?

I'm still waiting for a clue as to which shoes he wear.

>>13618030
ay that's the watch I have except not with all the trump shit

>>13617932
Man if that was mechanical I would pick that up.
Just got this one an hour ago.

>>13618030
If you really think that'll sell for $3k, I have some disney VHS tapes with a black diamond on the spine to sell to you.

Repostan since I was late to the last one

>>13617796
How does this watch (dial to be precise) work?

>>13618041
The watch "hands" are actually three transparent plastic disks.

>>13618034
Why are you doing this though?

Sup

>>13618052
I just thought it was funny, after someone started doing it, probably this guy >>13618018

>>13617936
Nice Seiko 5 SNXS79 homage.

>>13618046
I see it now, thanks! Where are they connected to the mechanism?

>>13618059
it lacks the part i most liek about it, the blue accents, also the crown at 4

>>13618072
The zodiac logo covers up a standard have attachment point just like you'd see in any watch (in particular, this makes it not a true Cartier-style mystery watch like picture related)

>>13617873
Any good aftermarket 18mm rubber straps for this beauty? I don't care if they cost three times the watch itself,

>>13618079
Whelp, someone finally managed to show me a Cartier I actually like. Nice.

>>13618093
>Whelp

>>13618093
Cartier has some cool complications

What you think of this?

The two very satisfying things that happened to me today:
>customer's old shitty watch looked like right after assembling it
>reaching in with scissors, cutting and pulling out the ingrown part of a toenail, and the pain immediately goes away
I'm kinda more proud of the toenail part.

Was this what Kinetic was called before Kinetic?

>>13618148
Pretty much.

>boss wearing a open heart shitter
>asks me what I think of it

>>13618224
I know that feel. Whenever a a coworker brags about their new overpriced quartz fashion watch, I feel like transforming into Archie and yelling PHUCKAH and SHITTER at the top of my lungs.

>>13618224
Too scared to say you prefer mechanical watches?

>>13618270
What exactly do you think open heart means?

wristlet checking in

>>13617958
Same thing here.

>>13618289
Sweet watch
38mm version?
If so, what's the lug to lug measurement?

>>13618292

yeah 38mm, 42 felt like a fking panerai lol

lug to lug 45/46mm

Is the Seiko SNK803 any good?

>>13618301
No, but it is good for the price.

>>13618289
Bonus points for the correct dial overlap version.

>>13618289
Post pics of the movement m8.

>>13618314
>No
What's shit about it other than the movement not being hacking and hand windable?

>>13618024
Costco's selling the 70th anniversary edition of that unit for $499.

>>13618046
I love that thing.

All this time I couldn't figure out why the SKX looks so fucking shit.

It's because it's a flat crystal with such a deep set dial and the hands are so close to the dial, it looks like there's a bunch of pointless empty space between the dial and crystal.

>>13618323

i'm not good at this, tried my best

>>13618336
The movement is largely unadjusted and has poor positional variance response, at least I my experience. The low beat rate is also arguably a drawback. The finishing is decent for the price. Again, it's not that it's awful - it's just a you get what you pay for situation.

>>13618390
So you're saying I should buy one so I can shitpost here about how bad Seiko watches are?

>>13617956
Yeah it's pretty neat. I'd ditch the strap tho

>>13618403
I mean you could buy the equivalent swiss piece and compare

>>13618414
>I mean you could buy the equivalent swiss piece
Already have.

>>13618130
It's shit

Good everyday watch?

Is it cringe to buy a Lacoste watch?

I really like the brand and this one seems elegant and unpretentious

>>13618466

>>13618466
It's like any fashion watch. If you like the looks then that's all that matters. Buy it.

>>13618441
Its not bad, if you don't like the cheap $40 snk80X's

You all told me not to do it but I didn't listen.
So here we are.

Looks like it's decided, I'm posting pic related to /wt/ every day for the next three months.

I can't even wait for delivery, I'm going to just head to a store tomorrow and buy one, there's no time to lose.

>>13618595
Forgot pic :)

>>13618565
More like nomos lambda.

new to /wt/ what is a shitter?

>>13618616
A catch-all term for low-quality watches, particularly ones that are marketed as being high-end luxury items when they're clearly not.

>>13618616
Any watch that fits the criteria of a shitter. Some criteria include: any fashion brand, far more expensive than it deserves to be, cheap materials or finishing, etc. Obviously these things are related, and a watch can have all of these shitter qualities at once. See also:

https://imgur.com/a/6CNO8

>>13618616
Your brown little eye. You know... behind.

new to watches and i'm interested in pic related. first of all, anyone have any experience with the brand? i've heard mostly good things. my other question is, how easy would it be to replace the bracelet with a leather strap - is there an easy way to tell if this won't be too tough to do or if it would be a giant pain in the ass? thanks lads.

>>13618637
Orient = Seiko a la Audi = VW

Changing a strap is a 30 second job unless the watch uses a retarded lug pattern which 99% don't.

>>13617958
pepsi life son

>>13618642
so would an orient watch be considered of decent quality versus the price point? i just don't want to overpay for something that's shit., although i know a place like here means most people will tell me anything i'm not dropping 5k on is shit

>>13618616
youtube.com/watch?v=z-szfWTjWRU

>>13618658
Orient is good value for money, but if you're nervous I'd recommend researching why people say that and come to your own conclusions

>>13618656
Beautiful dad car.

>>13618658
Save for a Rolex if you can, if not a Tudor or Omega would be okay.

>>13618681
Why do we all have to own the same fucking watches?

I want an IWC and no one ever talk about them. It’s always shitter this rolex that fuck seiko muh space watch.

>>13618684
IWC is a shitter brand.

>>13618685
You’re mom is a shitter.

>>13618684
>Why do we all have to own the same fucking watches
Because there are a limited number of companies making watches with reasonable levels of quality at reasonable pricepoints for those levels of quality. Everyone else is trying to rip you off.

Your choices are, more or less:
Casio
Vostok
CitIzen
Orient
Seiko
Junghans
Sinn
Damasko
Nomos
Tudor (in-house)
Rolex
Zenith (please try not to buy an ugly one though)
Grand Seiko
Jaeger LeCoultre

And above that you are dealing with haute horlogerie which is a separate discussion entirely.

>>13618719
Obviously this applies to new watches only, there is more variety with vintage.

>>13618719
Thanks

>>13618719
You forgot omega and nomos. Plus montblanc is going to be on this list a few years later.

>>13618735
Both are overpriced, one moreso than the other arguably.

>>13618731
I should note that there are a few Hong Kong based microbrands doing reasonable price to quality ratios, but they are pretty niche.

>>13618735
I included nomos, and left out Omega deliberately as I feel they still need to do a bit more to provide a price to quality ratio comparable to in-house Tudors.

I'm sure some will disagree on that point, but, on the plus side Omega has improved their external finishing quite a bit from five years ago.

>>13618737
Considering the amount of movement finishing Nomos does, and how much they spent on developing the capacity to design and manufacture complete movements including escapements, I don't think it's fair to call Nomos overpriced, personally.

>>13618742
Nomos' in house movements are fine, it's the exterior finishing that makes me say they're overpriced. Flat lugs, flat case sides, all polished. I wouldn't mind if there was more variety to the case shape, along with some alternating of brushed and polished surfaces. Maybe some more curved crystals would help too.

>>13618719
>Grand Seiko

>>13618743
Sure, I think your points are fair, but the amount of movement finishing they are doing is far more than anyone else close to them in price, so on balance, I don't think they are overpriced even if the external finishing isn't the best.

>>13618637
Good taste anon, that is a VERY attractive dress watch that is overshadowed by the orient bambino.

This is kind of a good thing because it keeps the price low. Gonna be picking one up myself in a few months.

>go to the only store I know that has Hamilton
>it's 3 times the price on Amazon
What the absolute fuck

>>13618719
tfw your favorite watch doesn’t make the list

>>13618772
The manual wind Hamilton Khaki Field models are a good value, but most of the rest of the range is overpriced.

>>13618827
The 38mm intramatic is an exception too, since it has a 2892-A2 in it.

>>13618772
>>13618827
Like, there are a couple of good value models and hundreds of bad value models, so on balance I don't think they merit inclusion.

>>13617976
ID on this one?

>>13618841
It's a 5S21-7A10. the 5S21 was a Seiko quartz caliber made I believe 1989-1991. It has a quartz movement with a 4Hz stepper motor. It also has a hairspring and a vial of viscous liquid that dampens the motion of the second hand, making it a true smooth sweep.

The -7A10 is impossibly rare (I've never seen another since I bought this in August 2015), but other 5S21 models are fairly common.

>>13618850
Nice Laco

>>13617894
I don't own a variant, but they use the same movement so the issue of accuracy becomes one of who cased the movement and if it was regulated after casing and prior to delivery to the customer. Also, the the variant with the sapphire crystal will weigh slightly more than the original, and the larger size (42mm) variants will obviously weigh slightly more as well...so which variant were you looking into?

Fwiw, mine has held to +0.5 sec per day if I wear it normally, wind it once a day at the same time, and leave it crown up overnight.

Thoughts on this thing? Timex flyback chronograph. I know nothing about watches and am planning on buying this to get into the watch game without spending too much. I use the stopwatch on my current shitty digital watch often so I think the chronograph would be helpful. Also, thoughts on the strap? Should I get the mesh bracelet or the usual cheap leather?

>>13618850

skx or should i spend another $100 or so on a turtle?

TGV is a pretentious asshole who jumps into bed with garbage.
However, I do agree that he presents very well.

>>13619444
Watches are a lot about delusions of grandeur, he encapsulates that and makes really good videos regardless of whether his backstory is fake, his community is a hugbox, too forgiving on seiko, shill, etc. etc.

Like there are a bunch of good watch youtubers, but the bottom line is that he has the best format and entertainment value.

Other good people:
-Just One More Watch
-Archie Luxury if you have the $ for anything hes talking about
-Frederico talks watches is someone people like a lot, though I hate the way he talks and think hes a faggot
-Theo and Harris, weird fast talking character
-GshockHighfashion if you like gshocks, will torture you with models that are nowhere near worth the $ but you want
-The time teller, jew with a lot of charisma
-Nick shabazz, talks like a 1920s gangster, more of an edc guy overall
-Take time with Patrick Marlett, newer channel, liked that he gave the oceanus spotlight, pointed out that the alpinist is no longer worth it at 500

I really like Teddy. He’s new but growing fast.

Would add IWC, omega and hamilton to this list, otherwise pretty accurate. JLC also straddles the line between mid-range and haute horlogerie

Junghans guy, maybe you can answer this. Why are the hands on (vintage) watches not solid where the lume sits? Would that make them too heavy? Too hard to cut out a small part to fit the lume?

>IWC
Ah yes, because $10,000 Valjoux 7750s and $7,000 Sellitas are the height of value.

IWC is a pleb catching brand with oversized, colorful designs and marketing designed to appeal to noveau riche normies who know nothing about watches and get them to spend 3-4x what the watches are actually worth.

>Hamilton
Only has a handful of watches that are good values and hundreds of models that aren't, so I don't think the brand as a whole deserves inclusion.

>Omega
I still don't think the price:quality ratio is quite there yet, but I can understand if people would include them since they've finally started improving their external finishing, which even five years ago was laughably, comically bad.

>>13619895
This is surprisingly common on vintage day/dates. They day and date wheels have aged differently on both my 1974 Speedmaster Mark 4.5 and my 1975 King Seiko Special 5256-8010.

Yeah!

the fakes of panerai watches are retardedly good, anon. there are some which are actually 1:1 outside of the movement.

if you just care how it looks, and you're not showing it off to in the know watchmakers, it's a good way to go. they cost a couple hundred dollars at most

>>13619703
Great watch, lots of useful features and nice specs. Too big tho.

Yeah, the fakes have better movement finishing which gives it away kek

>>13619955
Lol nah

>>13620001
fact.
pic related, the real watch is on the left, and the fake is on the right.

>>13619997
While I personally don't like the aesthetics of yours, it is one of the decent value models as it still has an ETA 2834-2 rather than the newer disposable Powermatic 80 derived movements, along with the Khaki King auto models.

Those, the Intramatic 38mm with an ETA 2892-A2 and the Khaki Field manual wind models with the ETA 2804-2 are the only good value models in the whole range I think.

>>13619998
You forgot the fact that all fake watches are finished and QCd like shit due to the fact that they are finished by hand by a 12 year old Chinese slave. I don't like Panerai but fakes are shitters.

>>13620009
> better movement finishing
lol, no.

>>13620016
meh, i've got a relatively expensive ($500ish) fake rolex, and the finishing/QC is fine. it's not perfect, because there's a lot of details to get down correctly with a sub, most of the qc/finishing issues you talk about are about getting small details exactly as the genuine article has them, as opposed to the watch being made out of garbage and not functioning properly. a panerai is about as simple as designs get. the fakes i've seen are very good because of that.

plus most normies have no fucking idea what a panerai is supposed to look like.

>>13619929
I check out the Pastebin.
Since it's a second-hand/fairly old watch I wouldn't feel comfortable going over the $200+
That depends on the condition it's in of course.
But for an old Japanese Seiko I think that's an acceptable price.
Currently looking to buy as cheap as possible, and already checking out some for no more than $50.

>>13620016
You are correct in general, but genuine Panerais are such shit that no one will take pre-owned ones without box and papers due to the fakes being essentially 1:1 with the real ones.

>>13620030
>i've got a relatively expensive ($500ish) fake rolex

>>13620038
i had $500 dollars that i wanted to waste on something stupid
i don't wear it to show off, i just like how the sub looks but don't want to spend the money for a real one at the moment. in my experience no one has any clue a watch is a rolex unless it's a gold day-date.
i was also interested after reading about how relatively hard to distinguish fakes had become, and wanted to see for myself.

>>13620013
Yeah!
Thanks for the infos I don’t even know any of this.

>>13620033
At 50usd, you're probably going to be stuck looking at a type ii or similar lower-end model, especially once you take shipping into account. If you're moving up into the 1xx USD range you can shoot for a King or grand quartz, which have better adjusted movements.

For whatever reason the day and date wheel shades match on my vintage citizens though.

>>13620051
I'll up my pricerange a bit then.
Still haven't been able to find anything around the 38mm range sadly.

>>13620042
>I had $500 to waste

7A00

>>13620099

how much?

>>13620099
It's my favorite non -7a10 model. It's pretty pricey though right? I think I saw somebody asking 700+ USD for it.

>>13618117

These watches really are terrible, not just terrible for the price, but fucking terrible.

Why do you retards recommend them?

Give it to my straight, lads. Is the SRPB77 a good everyday watch? I'm a pleb that knows absolutely nothing about watches but this one looks pretty good for the price.

@13620122
Gas yourself

>>13620089
??
i'm not saving for anything, anon
i could buy a sub now, but A) the waitlists for a steel sub seem irritating, and i'd rather not go grey market for that purchase and B) i don't want to spend $8k on it right now at all.
maybe in a few years, or if i really like the fake (only had it a week or two so far)
it's a pretty reserved looking watch imo. not bad by any means but it's not as expressive as (for example) an omega. very subdued.

>>13620155
Post it so I can point out the flaws and laugh at you even harder.

>>13620042
We have to see some pictures.

>>13620009
The left movement is wat better anon. Look at the chunk of metal that holds the balance wheel. Notice something you dumbfuck?

>>13620099
Nice watch. "Dolce" is a retarded name tho. Who would wear a watch with the word "Sweet" on it?

>>13620143
>SRPB77
No it's too big.

>>13620156
>>13620159
i'm not wearing it right now, have a QC image i got from china before it shipped
will post images of it on wrist later
date wheel is the worst part of it lol, they really cannot into fonts

not sure what ur laffin at also, lad, i'm not over here claiming to be the rolex king with my $100%! genuine ROOOOOLLLLEEXXX, i just wanted a general idea of its size/shape/aesthetic
if i'm spending around 9k on a watch, another 500 isn't a killer, and its worth it to get an idea of what it'll feel like and look like to wear

>>13620207
The hands are fucking awful.

ARF?

>>13620213
they look particularly bad in this image, but yeah they're not great, also the rehaut is misaligned

it's the arf """""""""904L"""""""""" they released recently. subjectively the steel at least looks quite nice, but i really doubt

>>13620215
Might be a decent watch for sub-$700 all in with a non-Rolex branded dial dropped in, a non-joke hand set and a actual 2824 movement.

>>13620218
desu i could probably change out the hands and dial for less than 200.

getting a real 2824 movement would also be a plus, but honestly the movement isn't so bad from a purely functional standpoint. i've timegraphed it to +/- 4s a day, which isn't horrible, it beats at 28800vph, and the date actually flips over instantly. the worst part about it is that it's very hard to tell when the crown changed positions, and also that it'll probably only last like a year

>>13620185
For you

>>13620122
I kekd a little.

>>13620143
Yes

>>13620185

Just copped this, thoughts?

Any opinions about Mark Lovick and Watch Repair Channel?

>>13620184
thats exactly what I thought. sadly it's the only 5s21 I found yet but this guy offers it for 700$ and thats way to much IMHO

>>13620253
>watching a pedo repair watches

>>13620258
what?

>>13620257
There's plenty of cheaper 5s21 models and Yahoo jp and cheaper ones pop up on eBay from time to time.

>>13620101
>>13620105
700+§ yea

what do you think is a moderate price for this one?

>>13620278
yea I just keep an eye out for them, maybe Ill find one sometime.
A good friend of mine is spending like all off his spare time on second hand markets looking for watches, maybe he will find a good one tho.

>>13620286
I paid 250 or so for mine in 2015 which I thought was kind of a lot. It looks like most of the pieces on zenmarket right now are around the 100-200 range which seems plausible. If I found a reference I really liked them it's just a question of how much premium you want to put on the reference over what you could get a cheaper version for.

The fuckin rotor in this misaligned piece of shit is so fucking retardedly loud nigga.

Seikos are fucking garbage.

>>13620286
>>13620305
That said 700 dollars isn't really that much in the big scheme of things after all. I've certainly paid huge premiums from time to time for q dial or case reference that I wanted, even if other references with the same movement are cheaper. I think it's totally legitimate to want one of the pulsometer dial 5s21 references, since they highlight the sweep nature of the second hand - most quartz watches would not have an effective pulsometer scale. If this is really the one you want, I'd say go for it.

>>13620313
Pure autism. You realize they do the indices based on the movement of the watch right? Do you actually think watches make their face 100% indentical to every other watch face?

>>13620305
>>13620314

you are both right. Propably I will spend some time looking for alternatives and at some day I just order this one while being drunk, like I did with most of my watches. Not a very inteligent way I know, but I can't help me. If I want something, I want that thing, no cheap alternative.

>>13620389
Thanks friend.

> If I want something, I want that thing, no cheap alternative
That's the spirit. Plenty of times I've had to wait out a bunch of not-quite-right pieces for the right one to show up. Every time o bought early and compromised I've regretted it.

>>13620258
Kek

>>13620407
so true. Every watch I bought instead of the expensive alternative is about to get sold on ebay now, because I never wear them.

My grandpa always told me, he has not enough money to buy cheap things.

>>13620387
Are you a dumbass moron? None of the lume pips line up with anything and the entire dial is rotated to the righ.

>>13618965

buy watches from watch makers, not clothing designers. Unless of course you just really want CK, then go for it. it has no respect in the watch world though

>>13620430

>>13620122

all for different price ranges. Low end Seikos work well for what they are and how much they are worth. The two watches in the post are at least $2.5k apart. Obviously most under $200 Seikos won't have as many features as a black bay, but you knew that right?

>>13620430

implying that this shitty photo is correctly oriented

>>13620313
lel, you didn't properly align the rectangles with the angle the watch is showing in the picture, of course it isn't flush you dense retard

>>13620491
People rave about the Seiko 5 like it's the best thing ever.

This rotor rattle is really pissing me off, this McDonald's toy shit is likely going in the fucking garbage, or maybe I'll give it to the guy who mows my lawn. I should have known better than to listen to /wt/ for watch recommendations.

>>13620496
>>13620498
It's literally perfectly angled you dumb shits, the camera lens is directly above the hand stack.

>>13620498
If the lume pips form a proper rectangle, it doesn't matter how the watch is oriented as long as the photo is taken from directly above, there's no way for three pips to be at the vertices of a rectangle and one not to be.

That said, I don't think that's much of a problem with a cheap $60 watch. Feel free to post a better mechanical watch at the price point.

>>13620510
>Feel free to post a better mechanical watch

It's not a shitter.

SARB033

>>13620565
Right, what even is a shitter nowadays, a 12 buck chink mechanical at the most?

>>13620606

Would you recommend it?

It's just been discontinued recently, so unless you can get it for a decent price (under $400 or so), then probably not.

>>13620621
>>13620626
The sarb discontinuation has left an unfortunate hole in terms of plain, casual watches at the price point.

>>13620313
Your rectangles make absolutely no sense. The hour pips on the dial are most certainly perfectly printed. The case is aligned as well (it's not machined irregularly). What's not aligned is your shitty photography and inability to properly straighten a pic in Photoshop before drawing random boxes. Your boxes don't even hit the same spots on the case.

>>13620565
Thanks
