Admit it, you got this off Reddit.

>>13803525
Why do people buy so many watches that don't look meaningfully different from each other
This especially applies to luxury watches, I don't get how you can spend good money on a new watch and then think "let's do that again with one that looks just like this"

Is it possible to replace the stainless steel band on the GST-W110D with the resin band from GST-W110?

>>13803540
How much did you pay for that?

>>13803778
$250. Plus another $90 for the scumbag government in customs.

New bezel insert is going to be another $45, and it might just not need anything else. Then maybe I'll flip it for a profit.

Looking for a cheaper nice looking watch with a quartz movement. I don't care much for fancier engineering. I'm liking the black version of this so far but I am up for suggestions. Wanting a daily driver that I'll wear wherever I go.

I think you'd be better sticking with Casio. They make nice stuff. There's a lot of pieces in the G-shock line that follows that form and color scheme. What do you think of something like this

Damn looking at these I want a G-shock now

>>13804331
This one is even cheaper and looks better I think. Might be too busy for you but eh I'm just throwing an idea out there

>>13804331
>>13804344
I understand the appeal, but I plan on owning one watch. Sort of a jack-of-all-trades compromise between a bulky sturdy g-shock and a more fashionable regular diver. When it comes to this hobby I'm less than a normie, I never plan on owning anything other than something with a quartz movement. Also when did you guys move off of /g/? Took me a bit to find this thread.

About to turn 21 and its a family tradition to get a good watch for your bd so someone please rec me a $1000 aud watch to someone who has only ever worn a cheap Casio. <3 my dad has recommended Seiko but i've got no idea

I can't spend a grand on anything with hardlex

>>13804587
not him, but looking at the price that would easily be over 1000 AUD

>>13804592
Didn't know the aussie dollar was so weak. I'd spend a bit more because for me the only Seiko I'd pay a grand+ for is a Grand Seiko

what makes this watch so expensive?

is it really that bullet proof that will last generations?

>>13804686
It's not a particular good watch, it's just that it has very good WR, and they turned up the price for that.

>>13804592
It fits the 1000 AUD budget. Thats like around 700 dollars and this is just over that. He also said he could add some money to it. I think thats a fine choice for around that price.

>>13804709
>It's not a particular good watch
What makes it not particularly good?

>>13804742
It's a fucking shitter.

>>13804742
Its movement is equal to their quite affordable watches, the finishing is not better but it's still acceptable. You pay for the WR.

>>13804754
what would be a lower tier equivalent if you don't care for wr too much?

>>13804759
Citizen Promaster Marine EP6050-17E

>>13804114
They're under the radar, like Seiko KQ/GQ used to be. Because of that they're pretty affordable.

However about 80% of production was the quartz version and only 20% were automatic.

>>13803756
Check the lug width of both watches. Are they the same?

Is it acceptable to buy the MOTFM with the display case back or is that version not even a MOTFM?

>>13804845
Has that particular watch gone to the moon?
If no then it's not a moon watch

>>13804854
But the Speedmaster went to the moon tho.

Thots on citizen promaster autos? Aqualand series.
I like their design, sort of like an skx013 competition or a smaller alternative to an skx007/9.
Also, I've been wondering how much is to much for a monster, used. Thinking of 200 but maybe that's even too much.

>>13804587
Ok i've been doing my research. Specs looking really good and the face is quite nice but the hands are so thick its off putting. Thanks for the rec though man, pointed me in the right direction.

16 year old ETA, apparently it was in a repair shop twice. Motherfuckers never actually serviced it. This is 16 year old tar in the pivots, the movement was completely seized up.

Of course now I'm gonna recommend a full movement service to the owner, luckily this is one of the last 21600bph ETA's, so it's likely not completely worn out like a 28800 movement would be after so long without service.

New digi added to the collection. The beeping is to low. Is there a way to fix it and make it louder?

Measure speed over known distance or calculate time over distance at known speed. I sometimes use the fist function for giggles when I'm on a bus or train.. You push in the chrono at a mile marker or sign that says (exit 1km / mile) and you stop it once you've travelled a mile/km. The seconds hand should now be pointing at your speed in units/hour. In my case I consistently clocked the bus to the airport in Mallorca at 95km/h..

Just got Seiko SKX007 and the day is only in English from midnight to 3am how do I change this?

>>13805209
return it

>>13805209
Take it to a watchmaker. It’s an easy fix but you do need to remove the movement to get access to the dial.
Most watchmakers will do this for free or a few bucks.

Happy Halloween wt

>>13805209
>day is only in English from midnight to 3am how do I change this?

7S26 movement changes the day between 00:00 and 03:00, and will display the alternative language at some point during that period before it rolls to the language you've set.. If you want it to display English normally, set the time to anywhere outside of the 21:00-03:00 window during which the day and date change, set it to the correct day and date (or a day before if you have to wind past midnight to set the correct time). The watch will now display English normally, and will briefly show the other langaue (usually Spanish) between midnight and 3 when it changes day.

>>13805241
Happy Halloween to you too

>>13804754
They don't use the 7C46 in any other watch besides the Tuna, and it's definitely a nicer movement than their basic quartz movements. No thermocompensation or other special features, but it's made to be a serviceable brick shithouse of a movement. It's a good watch.

My custom bezel finally arrived from Moldova, I think it's really improved the look of this watch, I'm actually really stoked.

I've been thinking about getting a Bocтoк but I hate the bezel they come with.

I need a good digital watch that doesn't look like some casio military shit. Something simplistic. Any recommendations?

Seiko Tuna sbbn033
Tisell 40mm type a
????

What should I change around and what should the 4th be?

can't let go of the citizen. that seems to be my favorite. the tisell I want to be my only automatic so I don't need to worry about setting dates when I decide to wear it.

I'm thinking of getting the tuna to replace my sne437 diver which I never particularly loved and kind of have buyer's remorse for, but bought to replace my skx007 for practicality purposes. but it never fit or wore the same as the skx did.

>>13805929

wtf is this and why don't you buy laco?

>>13805938
Not him but why would he buy a laco? His pic is exactly what you'd go for looks wise, laco is another 300, and probably worse looking but just with a better movement. I'm eventually gonna be in the market for a notsee watch, I'd get an ss/eagle one but I probably wouldn't want to send it to get serviced, so pilot watch it is.

>>13805951
>
Why would you get an ss watch?

Lorus > Rest of the quartz stuff

>>13805938
yeah I was originally going to go for a laco until someone mentioned maratac and tisell when I made and posted this pic.

and the cheaper basic models had too much on the face than I liked (date and day wheels)

was also contemplating Aristo cos their base model was quartz and only had Aristo on the face. thought I'd try this automatic meme again with the tisell

Never understood the modern anti-semetic mind. I can well understand anti-islamification of europe (a sentiment I share), and I can understand the anti-hispanification of usa. But it's very difficult for me to justify hatred of jews, just because they have managed to become rich. It's just leftover nazi propaganda that some people swallow, I suppose, but how on earth do people go from a normal upbrining to actually start fantasizing about "taking care of" jews. Lmao, it's just very weird. I guess you'll throw back some conspiracy theory about the jews. I dunno.

>>13805992
Just mongoloid trying to justify their failures.

>>13805992
I wouldnt say I'm antisimetic per se. I'm just annoyed that any criticism is seen as antisemitism and any critical thinking and analysis of the holocaust is taken as holocaust denial.

I'm in the corner where everyone is equal but don't like how Jews seem to be considered more equal than others.

take the recent shootings. that's going to go down as one of the biggest hate crimes in histories when the Charleston shooting was the exact same thing except against elderly black people. where although it's still a hate crime. won't be fear mongered as much as the Pittsburgh one.

just like how the holocaust is seen as the worst (sometimes even the only) genocide in history.

wouldnt surprise me if the adl don't meme the Pittsburgh shooting as being worse than 9/11 in the history books.

like I said, I'm not antisemitic. how can you hate pretty Jewish girls :3

>>13805992
I do not like their overwhelming control of the media and education. The emphasis on the holocaust in public schools is fucking insane, and 0 of it goes into any real detail on why it happened, it just gets mashed into general racism with no clear reason explained about why he went after jews (also maybe it was just my school, we learned NOTHING about communism, we got told that during the cold war people were afraid of getting nuked, that's it). I also do not like how they blend themselves into society and choose when they are white, it's what makes them dangerous rats. Pic related is cheapest auto laco, can't say I prefer this to the tisell at all

>>13806019
We learned about why hitler disliked them and about that conflict.

>>13806019
Pretty sure that's your school mate

>>13806019

> I do not like their overwhelming control of the media and education.

"They" control nothing, you may have seen a slide on pol saying we are controlled by jew, but when was the last time a jew told you what to do ?

Don't fall for the far right meme way of thinking. Don't think left or right anyway, stay away of this shit.

>>13806023
>>13806030
Yeah probably. Recommend me a german pilot or edgy WW2 watch if you know any. (I find it weird that pobeda made these, it reminds me of vostok doing desert storm watches)

That being said, I've some doubts about the watch in this post :
>>13805951
I'm sure its fake. BTW I'd like to have a real SS watches in my collection.

what I find interesting is how the pro jeeew posters are basically anti other races but dont like when its against them

>>13806445
Yeah I know, none of the actual watches back then had any swastika/ss markings. There are russian watches that have some, to commemorate it like other historical events. Honestly I think the best bet might just be the korean tisell >>13805929 , just because it's the
cleanest no bullshit looking with the blued hands, Laco's aesthetic equivalent is over a grand. Unless there is another brand that does
quality watches in that style for around $2-300. Not a fan of Laco's $400 shit like >>13806019

I've this one, paid 800 in Japan, love it.

>I can well understand anti-islamification of europe (a sentiment I share), and I can understand the anti-hispanification of usa. But it's very difficult for me to justify hatred of jews

But these things happening is literally 100% at the hands of Jews and their subordinates. So if you're against these things, it only makes sense to also be against Jews

Asked about a cheaper alternative to this

>>13804686

Is there a watch more similar? Or did I miss something?
This one is several hundred less than the Tuna asked about

WooOOooOoooOoooOOOo!

>>13806664
is that for sale?

Had a Seiko SKX 007 for a while and thinking about building my collection.

Any recommendation on a good second watch?
I'm thinking of the Hamilton Field Automatic

>>13804360
I’ve been looking at a few. 1k is entry level or used Swiss. For seikos your looking at the sarx line. 900aud+

>do not change date around 10pm-6am or risk damaging your watch

reee this limitation is so annoying and I have to fucking check every time.

>>13806272

>>13806272
>013
3/10 (your rate)

>007
8/10 (the rate for those which chose better than you)

Can someone identify this watch for me?

>>13806870
Not sure I follow

>>13806886
Some flavor of panerai, so it's dogshit.

>>13806894
Nevermind then, you are in the 8/10 category. Get a oyster bracelet.

>>13806895
Thanks, been seeing it a lot recently, was curious wtf it was. Never even heard of Panerai lmao.

>>13806840
i'd definitely save up a buy a nicer watch, but they are fine just nothing great about em
really popular among cheap indians
they have money but they like seikos since they're cheap
kinda ruins their reputation

>>13806085
Yup. They’re very rare and I got these two for £450 so hoping to make a profit. Not decided if I’ll keep one or not.

>>13806507
I'd prefer if it wasn't automatic/mechanical

>>13806684
No way, Jose. I lurked eBay for a year to get that thing at a reasonable price.

>>13804114
i have one. It was my first foray into a ‘decent’ watch. I’d recommend it as a first good watch to anyone. They’re cheap to buy, very low maintenance and feel really solid, looks good too (in my opinion).
Be careful though, they’re very cheap for an Omega diver and because of that they can be quite dodgy. In car terms they’re a 3.0 Porsche 911 circa 2007. I got burned on mine, turns out a car mechanic owned it prior and it was filthy and the omega logo on the clasp was missing. After a cleanup it looked nice, I’ll post a pic later. Buy one for under £600 and if you dislike you’ll easily get your money back.

>>13806928
Can you get black ones or are they all blue?

>>13806445
I LIKE CHICKENS EDDY!

>>13806486
>>13806470
Not a fan at all, if I was looking for an enamel dial seiko I'd get the urushi

Is the citizen chronometer the best all around quartz watch? Or is it a Grand Seiko? Or the Longines V.H.P?

>>13807162
Post pics.
Out of those I’d go Grand Seiko

>>13807162
Among modern haq watches, the seiko 9f has the least technical merit - 10spy spec vs. 5spy spec, no independent hour hand. The vhp is a fantastic value technically but its finishing its considerably sub par compared to the others. Citizen is also releasing their 1spy watch sometime in the future, probably late 2019.

How does /fa/ rate this particular Seiko 5 watch? It appears to have a different tint of silver, rather grey.

>>13807215
That baton hands line is top tier.

>>13807219
I don't understand what you're saying

>>13806912
I would sell both if I were you. If you are keeping one I'd sell the black one as I don't trust it to stay pristine with daily wear
Nice find, I see people with digital watches all the time now so offload as soon as you can

>>13807184
I'm on mobile, but I happened to be in NY so I happened to see a citizen chronometer in person (as well as others). Sadly, I did not have time to also visit the Grand Seiko store there as that's in a different place. Also fuck me, it's the chronomaster not the chronometer. The finish looks about as good as the higher end not-quite-grand-seiko watches, maybe a bit better?
>>13807227
He means the hands that look like batons.

>>13807227
>>13807235

Specifically he means the Seiko 5s that have square hands are the prettiest ones.

>>13807219
>>13807247
I see now, thanks. I don't know any watch lingo, but it makes sense now.

I'm in doubt though, apparently the 'hands' and the numbers glow in the dark. Isn't that a bit meme tier?

>>13807251
Why would you not want lume?

>>13807253
Is lume something good? It struck me as childish.
Wouldn't you have normies making fun of your wrist going hulk?

>>13807255
Nigga what the fuck are you talking about

Lume is a necessity on dive watches as they're meant to be readable underwater where there's no fucking light

>>13807255
Listen to this anon
>>13807271

Learn about dive watches. Most of the features have a purpose

>>13807271
But I'm not a diver and Seiko 5 are no diver watches

>>13807276
Non divers typically only have small lume parts on the hands and sometimes markers. So you can read the time in the dark, at night or whatever. I don't see why you wouldn't want that ability.

If you want a non lume watch get a real dress watch.

>>13807276

I shine a flashlight at my watch every night so I can check the time when I wake up groggy in the dark. Very useful.. But unless it's pitch black and you've just shined light at your watch dial it's not really noticable, especially to normies.

>>13807278
>>13807279
Alright thank you, suppose I got my first automatic watch

What do you think about my custom f-91w?

>>13807291

>>13807235
My experience with both at the new York boutiques is that the hands and indices finishing on the seiko is half a notch better and otherwise they are fairly comparable.

>>13807291
>>13807296

>>13807255
No normal person would think it's childish, don't listen to everything you're told here. I bet you got that shit from this place.
Pilot watches have a lot of lume and usually you'll get looks and not bad ones

Cheapest non-shit dressy quartz?

>>13807362
why not save a little bit more and get an Orient Bambino

>>13807228
Aye lad. It’s a lovely watch though. So distinctive however knowing it’s worth £400 means I can’t use it as a beater which it’s perfectly suited for.

>>13807299
God that looks hideous.
Why would you want that white shitty plastic showing?

what is this watch worn by recently deceased Leicester owner and multi-billionaire Vicchai Srivaddhanaprabha

I don't wear watches,but this one is aesthetic as fuck.

>>13807426

Looks like a Philippe Patek Nautilus. Could also be an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.. Not so at home in the super expensive stuff, and the Nautilus was designed to compete with the Royal Oak im terms of looks.

>>13807433
That just cheap $15 winner watches
They just paint really golden/silver
That's way it looks stunning

>>13807437
thanks anon,
pretty tasteful for a thai billionaire who could buy any monstrosity on the planet.

is squale a meme? I like the look of the 20 atmos as a first proper watch.

>>13807433
That's a massive piece of shit anon.

>>13807471
i am not watch expert but this

>>13807471
I have never seen a watch and don't even know what they do but I agree with this

>>13807426
Those buttons, it's a Nautilus. Tired of hearing about his guy

>>13807395
Because I got no dial

Fuuuuuckkk, I'm gonna coooooome!

>>13807626
Well done mate. You created a watch even worse than the F91W.

>>13807458
It's definitely a Nautilus and not a Royal Oak. It's a nice watch and I guess rich people buy way uglier stuff these days, but it's funny because originally the RO and Nautilus were meant to be a big "fuck you I'm rich" watch because they were outrageously expensive for being just a plain steel sports watch with nothing to really justify such a high price tag.

Hello wt

>>13807654
Love this. How thick is it?

>>13807190
>1spy
I guess I better wait a bit

>>13807691
9.2mm

>>13807695
Just a heads up, most of the haq collectors I've spoken to think the price point will probably be in the 5k usd range - considerably higher than the 5spy and 10spy watches currently available. That said it sound like fantastic tech - TC, AT cut, eco drive; I certainly plan to get one.

>>13807635
And there is nothing you can do to stop me from wearing it

>>13807719
Why would I stop you wearing it? You can wear whatever trash you want m8

Any homages of this to recommend?

Legit want this NATO for my MOTM. £120 though...
I have the black Omega NATO and it's truly amazing quality.

I set my SNK809 to to t-5s when DST ended (from GMT+2 to GMT+1, CET) knowing it runs slightly fast, but it was on -4s on the 29th, and is currently still at -4s, having not lost or gained a second (that I've been able to tell) for 3 days..

I know the 7S26 is a respected movement, but it's not really known for accuracy afaik.. Is this a fluke? Am I just lucky? Is it deviating wildly throughout the day, and do I just check it on just the right times?

I wear it basically whenever I am not in the shower btw.

>>13807775
My SNK runs at like +1 sec/day. IT's largely luck.

>>13807783
>IT's largely luck.

I was thinking that too.. Good to be us I guess. Before I received it I was anticipating at least +-10s based on what I was reading.

>that watch
Shoulda copped pic related as well tbqhf.

>>13807791
You're not wrong, sunshine. I especially like the roman numeral days.

>>13807235
Man I fucking love this watch.
I'm eventually adding a GS to my collection, leaning towards this cause I can wear it more often, but I've seen the Snowflake in person. It's hype worthy.

>>13807797

I'm tempted to buy one and insert it in>>13807775 at some point just to watch the red tip sweep the red square on Sundays..

>>13807801

If I were to buy a GS it'd have to be Spring drive.
>tfw they don't make ANY spring drive <2k basically ;_;

The only places that service watches around here are overpriced jewelers, anyone know any good mail-in places?

>>13807831
Hi beat gets me hard too, but Spring Drive is a pretty cool movement.
><2k
Stop buying shitters and save that money kek.

>>13807850
there's an anon here who works at a jeweler. had a fair rate for me.
jmechanix or something like that in NJ

>>13807861

I could buy one today, but I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a watch at this point in my life desu.. Also I own just 3 shitters for a total value of +-€220,- with no plans to buy more any time soon.

>>13807872
Then stop whining.

Had it stolen 2 months ago. I miss this watch. Only watch I ever wore without taking it off

>>13807882

I will stop whining when they start putting spring drives in less obscenely priced pieces, my good brother.

>>13807891
How'd someone steal it?
>>13807895
2k is a fine, if anything low price already.

>>13807433

>>13807769
Frederique Constant obviously.

>>13807898
I took it off the night before and left it in the center glove box.
Someone broke into my car. Took my gun too.
They also took my gum.

>>13807433
Anon those are fucking garbage what you want is this.

>>13807924
Why would you leave valuables in a car?
And what kind of gum?

>>13803695
Let's say you love grilled cheese sandwiches. You're probably not going to eat just a straight plain grilled cheese every time. You might add some bacon one day, or tomato, or use a different bread/cheese combo, or cook it in a different type of fat. Still, the sandwich is fundamentally a grilled cheese because that's what you like. It's similar with watches. If I like an aesthetic, I tend to buy more watches that adhere to that style, but perhaps with individual differences that are interesting or meaningful to me.
Is this a good use of money? No! But neither is buying any watch except for a $20 quartz which you then swap out for a new one every 5 years.

>>13807950
I was at an open bar. It was an especially hot and humid night here in Miami.
I took it off because I did not want to clean the leather straps later.
It was 5 gum and the mentos gum with the liquid center.

>>13807991
oh no sorry about the gum anon

>>13807991
I get leaving the gun kek, but you should have just worn the watch. That's the point of a strap. Use it and get a new one. Unless it's vintage. And an original Alpinest band isn't going to be collectable.
I'm more of a mint guy myself, but those seem like solid choices.

Could someone recommend me an everyday watch in 39mm below $1000
