If the Chinese ever learned to do QC, would the mechanical watch industry be elevated to a new level or undergo a new crisis?

>>14136538
These watch enthusiast people are mentally ill.

These 80s Tag quartz movements don’t look good.

>>14136568
I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I unironically do. The way the bracelet is changed & sized is neat too. For some reason though searching up the ref WSSA0010 brings up a date & nodate version.

Reminder that Seiko is no better than Chinese replica manufacturers.

>>14136601
Compare to an 80s Seiko quartz.

>>14136607
Three out of four of those Rolexes are Fifty Fathoms homages.

>>14136607

So Seiko are just a copy of a copy. They are like the Human Centipede of watches.

>>14136568
Those blued hands look cheap. You're better off with a Stowa. If you can't appreciate good blued hands then I don't know what to tell you.

>>14136643
Blancpain copied others as well for the FF design.
Pic related for instance.

>>14136645
They're both heat-blued m8.

“But muh Blancpain!!!” Not recognising the Submariner as an iconic design is a Seiko animu weeb cope.

>>14136651
No you don't understand. Stowa has the best blued hands in the market. You're a faggot if you buy watches with blued hands that aren't Stowa.

>>14136660
If only there were pics with the two watches beside each other so one could compare the bluing of the hands.

>>14136484
I want a citizen fugu but I'm not paying resell prices. Fuck citizen for making this a limited edition.

Finally released from customs, should be here any year now.

Also I have to remember it was sold as non-working, so I hope it's something I can fix in five minutes, and don't have to start hunting 7A parts.

>>14136713
You are dedicated to buy a worn and broken watch. Bravo sir. I like seiko, that one looks dope

>>14136713
How much did you get it for anon? I forgot

>>14136722
$275 + shipping to Yurop, SHOULD be a steal for a 7A28 Giugiaro. Depending on if it actually starts up with a little work, and I don't have to source a replacement circuit board, or coils or whatever.

>>14136687
Thanks.
Family piece, inherited from great-great-grandfather.

>>14136720
I rarely buy new watches. Working on the movement is most of the fun for me. Pic related, this Doxa had a great ETA movement and it was real fun to restore it, but after that I wore it like once before selling it.

Only new watches I ever bought is an Amphibia, a Baby Tuna and a few digital Casios.

>>14136743
What tools do you use anon? I have a couple of shitters that need to be regulated so I'm thinking of buying some watchmaking tools. Are chinese ones from AliExpress ok or would you recommend getting more expensive ones?

Why shouldn't I buy a used quartz Omega? Good quality, looks great, grab and go, can abuse without worry

>>14136807
You should get one.

>>14136770
Some are fine if they're chink, some you need the quality stuff. Also Indian Anchor makes some usable budget tools, but don't skimp on stuff like tweezers.

It would be a crisis for Swiss and revolution for non-Swiss/consumers. See quartz crisis/revolution.

Thoughts on this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmGOGzPIzIM

>>14136592
No, even if the Chinese were to build better mechanical watches than the Swiss, the Swiss industry would survive no problem.
The quartz crisis hit hard because at that point of time watches were used as tools and a cheaper/better alternative came along for that purpose.
Nowadays mechanical watch brands, especially the high end ones, are from a mainstream consumer point of view built on marketing and image. They became a status symbol and fashion piece. Just look at the countless images of people wearing high end watches and not even bothering to set the time and date. No one buying a watch for that purpose would want a Chinese one.
I'm not saying watch enthusiasts necessarily think that way but I can assure you that the majority of people who buy swiss watches do.
Same thing with the clothing industry. Brands like LV and Gucci used to succeed because of their high quality products. Nowadays they survive of being status symbols and social media exposure, increasing prices and lowering quality in the meantime. People that buy into those brands don't care that there are better alternatives for a lower price. They buy it because of the name.

Suggest something for me, please.

$1,000 or less
> Watch type: Something with unobscured Roman numerals and a moonphase complication

> Wrist size 6" (a dollar bill wraps around exactly), I don't mind a watch being on the edge of "too big"

Pretty interesting but also kind of underwhelming.

I'll never spend $34,000 on a watch so it's nice to see what the process is like. Which apparently is only slightly different than going to Macy's and buying a $50 Seiko.

>>14137135
Si I was actually looking into this one. There's another nearly-identical version that has the brand name just below the center, and an open-heart at the 12'o'clock position.
I've seen open hearts shit on, but I think it looks kinda neat.

What is the quintessential watch of each country (that makes watches or has one associated with it)?

Thinking about getting a used datejust 36 or a datejust 41. The only factor is besides price is my wrist size I'm roughly 6.8 inches. Opinions?

What the fuck is wrong with the nips?

Are there any good woman's watches that don't look like a "grandma's" watch? Or should I just start wearing men's watches?

>>14137750
Look for vintage pieces. Some anon got this GP for his gf a while ago for a decent price.

>>14137729
yeah I've always wondered why their watches are so big considering that they are generally smaller people

>>14137780
Look at their space watch. I think Fitya makes it? It’s like 54mm or something.

How does that work?

>>14137848
Apart from its own daily alarm, chronograph, second time zone, perpetual calendar etc you can link it to your phone and it checks to stay on time, you can set weekly alarms, make the phone sound to find it or when it loses connection, world time, stats about battery charging etc. Also you can configurate notifications (the watch beeps and/or vibrates and the seconds hand points why on the chapter ring; see how it says "call", "info" etc). You can choose the apps you want to be linked and notified, and in the case of calls or sms filter by contacts. You can make for example emails to beep and calls to vibrate or whatever.

Also its fully solar, steel made and 100m wr. A tad big at 44mm, but not too heavy. The bracelet is comfy but ill try a NATO (20mm) too.

>>14137871
At that point, you should just stop all the pretenses and just wear an Apple/Smartwatch.

>>14137887
I dont want to wear a watch that has a screen, is not at least 100m wr and has to be charged every few days.

The screen or the full "smartwatchiness" makes it less stealth and more distracting. Also i find that psicologically people find it most disrespectful if you are looking at a smartwatch while in a meeting or social whatever; almost luke if you were paying attention to your phone.

>>14137896
Probably i'll anyway go back to my mechanicals for everyday use tho xD

>>14136496
how's that watch box? I'm looking into getting one and that brand looks good from what I'm seeing on their website. what's your experience?

>>14136713

>>14137195

>>14138021

>>14138021
One day I’ll find one of these that isn’t way overpriced.

So what does a diver watch like a seiko or orient go well with? (silver bracelet, black watchface).
What kind of clothes can I wear without it looking weird.

>>14138010
Did it come with the box and everything? It's crazy how much the price has gone up in the past year since they were discontinued, half tempts me to sell mine.

>>14138042
Literally anything but the smartest clothes in the dressiest occasions. So don't wear one to a wedding but in an office environment it's fine. Divers are popular because they're extremely versatile watches.

>>14138046
yeah, it was all there in like new condition. how much did you pay for yours?

>>14138052
My every day clothes are either:
>sneakers, jeans, tshirt, hoodie if its cold outside
or
>chelseas, dark denim, button down, deinm jacket

It won't look out of place in either?

>>14138021
>>14138028
what's the difference?

>>14138053
£240 almost exactly a year ago. I wasn't planning on buying one but when it was announced that they were being discontinued I had to get one as I've always liked them and didn't want to miss out. I didn't want to repeat how I missed the SARX015.

>>14138056
No, stop being self conscious. Virtually any watch that isn't dressy will work with both those outfits.

>>14138056
no, divers watches are extremely versatile

>>14138069
>>14138072
Thanks, I guess I am being self conscious. I was also thinking if wearing a dive watch wasn't pretentious or anything if I never actually dive lmao.

>>14137944
I just got it so I can't talk about the long term, but I like it so far. My watchmaker recommended the brand to me and gave me a good deal.
Everything lines up nicely, looks good and functions without issues.
You also have a massive amount of customization on their webpage.

>>14138074
Almost nobody who wears a diver dives, and those who do mostly don't wear it when they do dive as diver watches are pretty much obsolete these days, as are virtually all watches and complications that were made for a specific function. They're just interesting to some people still.

How do you guys afford watches like omegas and rolexes?

>>14138087
I save money lol

>>14138089
ye but how much?
I'm a junior dev in eastern europe, earn a decent buck for where I live but not for watches (i make literally 13200$ a year after taxes).

>>14138062
The full lume version is more expensive just because it’s more rare.

>>14138093
I'm a lawyer in Australia so yeah there's a bit of a wage discrepancy there
I get about 80,000 after tax

>>14138097
but what's the cost of living?
My months rent + food is around 395$

What you lads think of this?

>>14138111
Ambivalence. It's kind of neat and very of its time but also it's pretty ugly.

>>14138111
it's a mess.

>>14138111
Can't get more early to mid 90s than this

>>14137729
Get this instead. It's only rated 100m though but you're not actually diving with it aren't you?

>>14138215
>those bezel numerals
Why can't companies get the basic shit like this right?

opinions?

>>14138261
What's wrong with the bezel numerals?

>>14138265
It looks like a rotating bezel, so flipping the numbers 20, 30, and 40 makes no sense.

Might be a fixed bezel though, in which case it makes no sense to make it look like a rotating bezel.

What do you guys think about pic related? It's a hand wound chronograph with a seagull movement.

>>14138262
Looks cool but I don't like the strap, would be better on a nato in a different colour imo.

>>14138265
They should all be aligned in the same direction, otherwise it'll look wrong when you rotate the bezel.

>>14138268
Wow good eye anon. I didn't notice that at first. The website doesn't say anything about the bezel so let's just assume it's non-rotating. What a shame I like the design.

>>14138274
It has knurling on its edge, so either it rotates or it's a bizarre design choice.

What the fuck? Ordered from Jomashop and now I hear I have to pay a tax before I can get the package, didn't see any info on that when I ordered. They said at the post service that it was because it was shipped from outside EU. But I've purchased from outside EU several times before, USA and China, maybe some other country, and I never had to pay anything extra when the package arrived in my country before?

>>14138265
Also the font looks like shit. Is that fucking Arial?

Speaking of rotating bezels do aviation watches tend to have non-clicky ones?
>>14138301
sucks to be E-you kek

>>14138301
Tell them that you haven't had to pay any taxes for your previous purchases.
Remember to tell them what you purchased and how much you paid for those (shipping included), hope they will understand.

>>14138301
Depends how the seller declares the item, over a certain amount you have to pay import tax but some sellers just lie about the value of the item to avoid the tax. It's always something to bear in mind when buying a high value item from abroad.

>>14138316
This is what separates the good proxy services from the bad. I've used one where you get taxed 3 fucking times while another one gets me axed zero times buying from the same country

>>14138316
This pretty much. When you don't pay tax on a watch, rhe seller lied about the value of the package for you. Jomashop didn't do anything wrong

>>14138341
>Jomashop didn't do anything wrong
They should have informed me about the extra cost I was going to have to pay

>>14138344
Paying import tax on luxury items is normal in the EU. It's not Joma's responsibility to be aware of your country's import laws.

>>14138270
Looks very much like the Seagull 1963

>>14138357
>It's not Joma's responsibility to be aware of your country's import laws.
bullshit, they should have informed me

>>14138028
crown on the left side, isn't that very impractical if you're right handed?

>>14138373
How is it impractical?
In my opinion all crowns should be pointing up the arm.

>>14138388
because you have to handle the crown with your left hand

>>14138395
Why would you use the crown with the watch on your wrist?
I wear my watch on my right hand and never had an issue.

>>14138400
>Why would you use the crown with the watch on your wrist?
I didn't say that. You have to operate the crown with your left hand unless you want to hold the watch upside down.

>>14138402
Ah I see.
Guess that makes sense but unless you have palsy I’m sure we can all manage to set the time with your left.

>>14138400
>omega owner
>watch on right hand
yep, checks out

>>14138406
I’ve been wearing a watch on my right wrist since I was 4, before you were even born sonny Jim.

>>14138405
Sounds like a recipe for a cross threaded crown if it's screw down

>>14138409
Single mother household detected.

New NATO strap just arrived boys, I think it works well with this bezel, what do you reckon?

>>14138365
Same movement, I think the 1963 looks much better. Or the Strela reissue with the same movement.

>>14138444
Red & blue would work better.

>>14138373
>>14138395
>>14138400
It's a dive watch, it's made so you can bend your wrist without having the crown dig into the back of your hand.

>>14138444
I would exchange it for some croc grain, but proper leather

>>14138442
My dad died when I was 10. I inherited all his Seikos and Casio’s.

>>14138464
Makes sense. You didn't have a father figure to tell you to stop wearing your watch like a queer.

>>14138469
I am actually gay.
Hence why I’m in /fa/ on a weeb image board.

>>14138444
I'm not a fan of the matchy-matchy thing going on.
black dial and red hand, black and red bezel and black and red strap.
Way too much.

>>14138270
it looks pretty legit but the eligibility looks tiresome in actual use

Another option is the HKED black or blue/silver dial 1963

I'd grab the st19 russian chronos like that other anon said

>>14138444

you goombas ready to throw your date/time watches wayforward on friday?

>>14138444
this looks like some evil-twin ben10 watch lmao

>>14138444

If a watch has a date but no cyclops lens it looks like shit. The cyclops lens itself is shit but it's just werks.

Watch fags ruin everything, since before watches.

For my future profession I'll need to dress nice, professional yet conservative, and a nice watch is part of that image. But it can't be too nice, otherwise it could rub clients the right way.
What are some good brands that do nice divers in the 1500 to 3000 range? Any higher and it starts entering flaunting-my-wealth tier

One of my favorite watches lookswise is a Submariner, but Rolex has that showing off stigma

>>14138794
Holy shit, that sounds cringy as hell.
Just talk about what watches she likes and her collection, stuff like that. Don't sperg out over types of steel and corrosion. Jesus Christ, that sounds so retarded.
This is why you niggers are all incels.

>>14138881
Look into Halios.

>>14138890
People have been buying aftermarket metal bracelets for them too. Sub bracelets fit them. Ginault bracelets are often paired with them since their bracelets are basically Rolex copies.

>>14138893
Looks like a Blancpain rip-off

>>14138902
I can definitely see the inspiration, yes. But I don’t think it’s a rip-off per se.

>>14138881
The Omega Seamaster 300

Speaking of Blancpain, it's a shame the Fifty Fathoms is 45mm and therefore batshit retardedly large. It's basically perfectly looking.

Sage advice.

Learn about the holy trinity, Patek, AP, Vacheron. Also learn about A. Lange & Söhne. Learn basic terms about watch complications, watch finishing like perlage, etc. Also, where did you find this girl? What watch does she wear?

What can you fags tell me about RGM Watch Company? They're located in my region and fifteen minutes away from the National Watch and Clock Museum. Seems pretty cool to me that they do traditional guilloché and make in-house movements, but I don't know a ton about them other than that.

>>14138881
Longines watches fit this role perfectly.
Not flashy, but get a not from those who know.

I am in high level technical sales. Longines everywhere.

Learn what I said in my previous post, it’ll only take a few reads. They’re the basics. Also, watch these three videos of Jean-Claude Biver. One of the most important men in the watch industry.

Start with this: https://youtu.be/XvLhJamAjAs, watch out for the Monets in the background too.

And finish it with this two-part interview:

Play it in 1.25x if you want to power through it. Even if you don’t gain a passion for watches, you’ll still be left inspired.

Suggest me a few watches.
~$200 a piece, dress watches, leather or metal straps.

Who would you consider to be the others, and how do they all compare?

>>14138990
They occupy a particular niche. Top quality highly finished ETA movements in cases that are simple and elegant. They are designed for the customer that wants a luxury Swiss watch and to look stylish without needing to flex. You get excellent value for money as they occupy the real sweet spot of watches.

There's Weiss, but if I recall correctly they use modified swiss movements in their watches. They're not priced nearly as high as RGMs watches so it makes sense.

>Waltham Watch and the race to the moon
This is a nice story (pic related), but I can't find any citation for it. The Wikipedia citations don't seem to have the information they pretend to have and Waltham moved to Switzerland in 1957 (despite supposedly helping Raytheon and MIT in 1962).

What I was able to find, however, was reference of using a section of the abandoned Waltham Watch Co. building for the project.
>It was decided to take over a big section of the old Waltham Watch Company building, which was in pretty rough shape when we took occupancy. The lavatories were the crummiest I had ever seen, with signs on the doors reading: "Your Management Takes Pride in the Facilities It Provides Its Employees." In time, RCA did a nice job rehabilitating the building.
>Eventually we got some other contracts, and we began outgrowing the Waltham Watch building, which wasn't an ideal place anyway.

It's like the price of a new Baby Tuna depending on the condition. A decent quartz Certina costs more.

I have a Swiss watch I no longer like, but selling it would mean taking a loss of around $900. I don't need the money like being in trouble or something, but I want the money to invest in a different watch that I actually like and want to wear.

Should I take the money and run, or hold on to the shitter and just buy the other watch the regular way? I'm not loaded or anything, but not broke either.

>>14139122
>I have a Swiss watch I no longer like, but selling it would mean taking a loss of around $900.
Depends on how much you don't like it. You're losing more than $900 if it just sits around in a box without you enjoying it.

I’d sell it anyway as there’s no point owning whilst it depreciates further.

Yup, Ceramic Seamaster.

Sorry for your loss. Omegas should never be bought new.

Just my two cents here, but this is why I personally think exprnsive watches are often not that bad of an investment. Most of the 5-10k watches don't lose a lot of value, especially if you got them used yourself. I've seen people sell their Portugieser for more than they bought it for after years of use

They lose around 25% when bought new. Some brands lose less (Rolex), some more.

> I've seen people sell their Portugieser for more than they bought it for after years of use
That I am surprised by. IWC aren't know for their resale value.

Thoughts on the Komandirskie k-34? And do you really need gmt when travelling? What for, for calling home? Plus why is it called gmt, is it greenwich mean time? If so that's weird. And can I wear 42mm if I have a 6.3'' wrist?

So what you're looking for is a 36-38 mm diameter watch generally.

Go to le reddit, r/Watches filter by 'top' and bring back 5 links to watches that you visually like, that will help us understand what style you dig

what's the stance on this band on my SNZG11J1? just picked it up for $50 brand new
i dont know if it clashes with the mostly brushed casing seeing as only the sides of the watch are polished

the leather band is the other option, otherwise i might just put a nato on it

>>14139415
I like everything pic related. I don't like watches like nomos with very thin bezels and hands

My wrist is like 15.3 cm i think

>>14139303
It's a fairly cheap gmt with an in-house movement if you care about that. Looks neat to me. No you dont need a gmt if you travel, only if you need to know what time it is back home.

>>14139492
Hard to find
>>14139497
Thanks anon, just watched a video and I find it stunning. Is it too big for my wrist tho?

>>14139521
Its 700 dollars and yes, too big at 40 but who cares. I would keep looking for a 36, maybe 38mm

>>14139521
Forgot about your wrist. I think it might be a tad big. Here it is on a 165mm wrist.

>>14139542
The next watch from halios is going to be 38mm. If I'm not mistaken the rotating bezel version won't be unidirectional though.

>>14139551
OH SHIT
BASED SUN GOD

>>14139542
>>14139549
Damn. On my wrist it would look ridiculous. It seems like it is easier to increase wrist size than to find nice 38 mm watch on tight budget

>>14139557
Look into vintage watches? I'm sure there are lots of decently cheap options that are <=38mm.

You'll like seiko presage 36mm
