A $7000 Citizen that still looks like a $70 one.

>>14233823
The most accurate independent watch ever.

>>14233823
If you think that looks like a $70 Citizen then you have no eye whatsoever for material finishing quality.

im looking for an Automatic watch with a calender, a glassback and leather straps for less than 500 €

>>14233848
Calendar as in date only?
Try Tisell, they make decent watches.

>>14233831
Come on. That looks nothing like $7000 of finishing.

>>14233828
That wasn't the point. Accurate yes but it still looks like a shitter.

>>14233854
>That looks nothing like $7000 of finishing.
You have no idea what $7000 worth of finishing looks like.

>>14233855
I have a good idea.

>>14233854
>Come on. That looks nothing like $7000 of finishing.
Case/dial/hand finishing of the quality on that Citizen is not cheap, and no really cheap watch will have external finishing anywhere close to that Citizen.

For one thing, you can visually instantly tell the polished surfaces were done using lapidary polishing machines, which you will never ever see on a cheap watch.

>>14233861
>>14233854
Should have guessed it was you fucking shill

>>14233861
How does that watch have $7000 worth of finishing, but that Citizen doesn't?

>>14233873
>>14233854
Guys... Please,

Let's just all agree that nobody is buying this until it is available in some form of <$1000 watch

>>14233882
>Let's just all agree that nobody is buying this until it is available in some form of <$1000 watch
Those things are going to sell like hotcakes.

>>14233883
At 7k?

>>14233884
Absolutely.

>>14233882
>Let's just all agree that nobody is buying this until it is available in some form of <$1000 watch
Yeah, it's not like Citizen presently sells an entire range of Chronomaster 5 spy quartz watches for over a grand or anything you absolute fucking know-nothing. Just shut the fuck up.

>>14233887
Stay mad pleb

>>14233893
The pleb is the one who has literally no clue what they are talking about, but continues spouting utter nonsense.

>>14233897
Sorry we are not all as familiar with the entire range of citizen shitters as you are. Some of us have taste

Imagine buying anything from this garbage mall brand.

>>14233785
The movement is vey impressive but it's kinda ugly. They shouldn't have used a display caseback.

>>14233906
Lmao it's quartz and they're asking 7k for that? JUST.

>>14233914
And yet they will sell out in a heartbeat.

>>14233911
Ignorance of the citizen model range. It really was the only thing I regretted about being successful. Maybe I should visit their websi..... OH WHO AM I Kidding it's too late for all that now *sob*

I need a sub $500 sporty do it all watch. I'm gonna wear it to work, swimming hiking etc. No diver bezel since I hate them.
Victorinox inox or citizen promaster tough? Any other suggestions?

Those lugs look ugly as hell.

>>14234100
bruh

thoughts on the snkl43?
thinking about buying this for my first watch.
Might swap the steel bracelet out for something else, perhaps a nice charcoal grey perlon strap

>>14234093
I could use a gmt function desu. I don't have any watches with it though.

GMT? Nigga just wear two watches.

>>14234203
Go for it, it's not a bad first watch, and nicely versatile, you can stick it on a leather strap too for a more dressy look.

>>14234026
Just a headsup, anon, their newer versions are a larger diameter, I think.

>>14234203
Great first watch and just a great watch in general. The blue is stunning in person trust me photos usually don't do it justice. My buddy got this as his first and I got an snkl23 as my first legit watch. Rocking a blue perlon on it atm. But yeah definitely go for it

Zeppelin Series LZ129 7036-1, how's this for an affordable moon phase watch?

>>14234233
yea I didn't think too much of it until I saw it in person and the dial is beautiful.
Who makes a nice perlon strap btw?

>>14233944
>taking price in quartz

Top.
Fucking.
Kek.

>>14233785
That thing looks really really good. Finally citizen has upped their design. The tech is also very nice.

>>14234486
Are you kidding? The hands look terrible and cheap as fuck.

>>14234486
Citizen has always had their higher end watches, it's just that they don't get much attention outside of japan which is a shame.

>>14234492
They look very nice to me, but that is arguable, i agree.
But just the proportions of that thing are awesome. Those hands and indices are very fitting and great in size and position on the dial and the dial color aswell.

>>14234064

>>14234502
Domed crystal best crystal.

>>14234493
Seen this one in other threads, looks really good. I wish they or some other watchmaker would make a no-date helvetica font watch.
Just a white dial, raised numerals, polished on the sides liek your pic and the center filled with black.
Because of casios shitters i discovered my weak spot for helvetica numbers.

>>14234513
No watches really come to mind like you describe. Good luck finding it m8.

>>14234502
>tfw no >£300 >40mm chrono that isn't as thick as my dick

>>14234517
Yeah, sadly. I imagine that it would just be pain in the ass to produce such numerals.
Basically they should look like in pic. But in helvetica and they should be raised a bit more and polished well so that the black color on top would contrast nicely with the polished sides.

>>14234211

based and schwarzkopf pilled

>>14233928
I don't know anything about them except they're sold all over Amazon. I can't tell you if they're good value or not sorry bro

>>14234125
Wat is dis??

>>14234513

Mondaine has a helvetica line

https://mondaine-usa.com/collections/helvetica

>>14234572
Thanks for the tip. They look ok, but the additional text on the dial is not for me tho. I scratched the itch for helvetica with these>>14234513 and i also own pic related, based casio has me covered with their godly shitters.
Now i want the next step, fancy helvetica.

>>14234608
I had one of these, I'm pretty sure it was the first watch I bought
Unfortunately I gave it and my SNK809 to my brother and he's lost both of them which is really annoying because the SNK809 is the only auto watch small enough for me to daily wear

>>14234611
Damn, that really sucks. Ask him to get you a new snk.

>>14234621
Well I've just now incentivsed him with £10 if he can find either, then it will move him to buying me a new one but they're like double the price of when I got it

>It was made in the USSR in the 1950’s.
It was fully serviced a couple of weeks ago and runs flawlessly
>Asking $350

What do you guys think? I'm a watchlet and thought this looked pretty interesting.

>>14234687
These are almost always fakes.

Especially if they're on Etsy.

>>14234707
Only way to tell is check the movement?

>>14234714
Pretty much.

What vendors on Etsy do is they make these Frankenstein-watches that are a combination of Russian and Chinese parts (with almost always a cheap Chinese eta movement knockoff).

If they show you the movement then you can be sure. Otherwise, usually not.

>>14234718
Why would anyone bother? They are worthless curios, the profit must be tiny.

>>14234737
They sell pretty well on Etsy, and it's really only $20 in parts (the eta-knockoffs are $10 on Ebay from China).

Then they sell them from $90-$300 dollars.

It's really not too bad.

>>14233912
Wow, the ones on the in right first and second row look great.

Is this review accurate?

Longines shitter here again. I set this 24 hours ago. Looks to be 2.5 seconds fast. Should i send it in to get it serviced?

>>14234858
No. That's nowhere near inaccurate enough for an automatic movement.

gaudy or fun? can it be pulled off on a white person or is it too much

>>14234866
Sorry i was being sarcastic i know its impossible to tell via plain text.

>>14234493
They should try to market it as a luxury brand in America and call it Grand Citizen

>>14234888
nice

Can someone recommend a good automatic "outdoors" watch. So a field watch but with all the stupid addons like chrono, compass, I don't know what else.

>>14234942
Why the fuck is the crown so huge

>>14234960
Because it was on the original too?

>>14234950

Explorer 1 114270

>>14234950
Any analog watch can be used as a compass anon.

>>14234979
I love how the difference between Rolex models is just the name. Rolex Paraglider. Rolex Secretary. Rolex Astronaut. Rolex Dishwasher.

>>14234984
I know how to use a watch as a compass Jesus Christ. But when it has the markings the normies ask about HURR DURR SO YOU GO OUTSIDE and shit so I can tell them all about my motorcycle autism.

>>14234960

I like it. It gives it a strong presence and goes well with the design philosophy of the watch.

>>14234988
If you ask for a watch with a compass, surely you can see how that would give the impression that you might not know any analog watch can be used as a compass?

>>14234986
What?

>>14234988
So basically I want this but with less fuckugly numbers.
>>14234994
Yes, it's just a style thing though. Like wearing carabiners on your belt loop so all the chicks know you're into rock climbing and thus BDSM.

>>14234993
It better for $4k

>>14234993
I mean the diver design is supposed to have a massive crown.

>>14234999
If it wasn't discontinued I'd suggest the SARB017.

The sheer volume of shitters on WUS outside of the main/quality brand forums is astounding.

>>14235007
That literally looks like something pic related would wear, I love it. Is there an updated model?

>>14235022
There's some hodinkee limited edition with a blue dial, no idea when it'll be back in stock though. I suppose you could just hunt around for a SARB017, just don't pay more than $400 for it.

Zappelin has a lot of designs whoch really fit me, but it's not very known and they use citizen mechanics.

Does anyone know if they are worth it, considering i really like the design?

Nobody told me Max Busser was Indian, wtf.

>>14234999

Does it make sense to use a watch box for a collection of cheap (1k and under) watches? Does it look pathetic?

>>14235163
Not really. It's not like watch boxes are expensive or anything. Like $20 can get you a chink 10 slot box.

>>14235168
I'm just trying to avoid the "hurr he thinks he's a big boy" effect.

>>14235172

You can live in your head all you want, but the external world is what it is regardless.

>>14235187
You don't have to give a shit about plebs' judgments m8.

>>14235197
See >>14235187

Everything has material consequences, what's in your head has nothing to do with it. You can roleplay as a strong independent alfalfa that needs no woman, but the reaction you get from others is what actually counts in the universe around you.

>>14235217
I'd say being insecure about a fucking watchbox is far less attractive.

>>14235217
Nigger it's a watch box, it doesn't need any fucking philosophy.

>>14235224
Does acknowledging the fact that people will look down on you for it make you "insecure"? Would the "secure" thing to do be to pretend that the facts aren't as they are?

Do note that whether I think it's important or not has not even been revealed yet (I eagerly await the Gamma male mindreading in your reply), but you're still constantly talking about my feelings on the matter, instead of the general public consensus about it, which was my original subject.

>>14235237
nobody cares about it the way you think they will
why would I give a shit where you keep your watches?

>>14234340
Like the other anon said, Eulit ones are pretty good. They're on Amazon for decent price. Btw just in case, I feel I should warn you: perlon straps are not fuzzy or soft. Maybe I'm retarded but I got this impression first seeing them in photos especially due to the woven pattern, however they are quite stiff. I was expecting fuzzy wool-like strap on my wrist and being cozy as fuck but sadly that was not the case. It's still a great looking strap.

How fucking autistic are you guys? IT’S A WATCH BOX.

>>14235237
The point is that others opinions about a fucking watchbox, of all things, is irrelevant.

>>14235251
lol I was going to post the same thing. they are literally discussing if owning a watch box can be alpha or beta.

>>14235240
>nobody cares about it the way you think they will
That's what you think because you're on an autist imageboard.
>>14235256
To your ego, sure. To the physical reality, it's very relevant, because people's opinion on you will change their behavior, and will thus have some effect on you at some point.

I want to get one of these, tell me how bad an idea it is.

>>14235268
Get a 58 instead. That way you get the in-house movement & a rotating bezel.

>>14235271
What does the rotating bezel do?
I know what the gtm ones do, but what does that one even do?

>>14235278
A unidirectional bezel for timing is just a standard feature for divers.

>>14235268
All that tells people is that you wanted a Rolex but could only afford that.

>>14235268

>>14235318
The reason I'm considering it is how much I like the dials.

>>14235318
Maybe but everything other than design is objectively better on the Explorer 1.

Is it cringy to wear a Nomos when you are 30+? I'm nowhere near 30 but I'm thinking that it would look a bit too yuppie-like a couple years down the road if I buy one in the near future. I'm thinking of the 38mm Club Date, the 731 specifically. I don't know why, it's probably their marketing, but I get the feeling that they are just a younger person's watch.

>>14235388
It's a watch for 20-somethings that want to play at being sophisticated before they move back home because the rent in NYC is too expensive.

>>14235399

Yeah, you're right... I like them on paper, but they do come off as a bit too "hodinkee-y", if you know what I mean. I don't really want to associate myself with that audience, but in a way, I do envy how privileged they were in their youth to get that out of touch with real life... I guess I just can't let go of my resentment and envy of richer kids when I was still in middle school/high school.

>>14235333
its kind of a shame theyre getting rid of the curved text for their inhouse movement. i always thought that looked cool. if they brought it back with the inhouse movement id consider buying FEDORS TODOR

>>14235336
you right lol

>>14235388
Saw a video of a visit to AP and an AP watchmaker was wearing a Nomos.
>>14235429
And what else would you rather wear? A Seiko?

>>14235388
Why would it be cringy to wear a Nomos? They are good watches at any age.

>>14235267
kys, literally

and i doubt you've ever had any interaction with a real life human being if you honestly think something, anything as trivial as a watch box will have a significant effect on how they think or feel about you

>>14235434

I'm thinking of the white-dialed Tissot Visodate. Much more of a shitter, but if we go by archie rules then anything below Rolex is a shitter, too.

>>14235436

They just have that hipster aura about them, that touch of glycina max, you know.

lmao when did you guys get so insecure? being moved to /fa/ was a mistake

>>14235441
I've literally never heard of Nomos being described as hipster, not ever. A hipster watch is a Casio because they were one ironically.

>>14235441
Nomad has a hipstery vibe because it’s trying something different. The rest of what they’re competing with are serious and “old”. It’s partly trying to appeal to millennials who’d much more likely buy an Apple Watch. This isn’t a bad thing because without younger customers buying watches this industry and tradition will eventually die.

Shinola are hipster watches

>>14235453
Says who? Fakes can be great for the price.

>>14235455
Fakes are pathetic and bought by people with no self respect. They want to pretend they are richer than they are, pitiful, and they do it intentionally - woeful human beings.

>>14235441
Visodate is huge. I'd suggest you find something different unless your wrist is 7.5 inches an above.

>>14235483

47mm lug to lug is huge? I have another watch with a lug to lug just like that and it didn't look silly on me.

>>14235490
You should try it on if you have the opportunity. Tissot have dealers everywhere. It's a bit thick so it doesn't sit right on my 6.5inches wrist.

>>14235493

Apparently this guy's wrist is just a hair smaller than mine. What do you say?

>>14235499
Visodate is only 40mm, and has curved lugs. It will fit your wrist regardless. Pretty much anyone can wear 40-42mm unless your a skeleton or like a petite woman

nvm I guess

Back again with my Gigandet automatic from the early 1960s. Since last time I posted here I have taken the watch to a watchmaker who opened her up and had a look. It had never been serviced (since the 60s!) and it worked as a charm. He said the only thing that needed to be done was a clean up as some dirt had come inside. This he couldn’t do before the summer since he is too busy, but he reckoned I can wait until after summer. It wasn’t anything urgent.

And you guys were like “OMG GO SERVICE IT BEFORE YOU BREAK IT”.

PS. If anyone is interested I believe the movement to be a Felsa cal. 696.

Have fun paying child support for 18 years. Who's the real cuck here?

>>14234858
No, that's pretty decent for a new watch. Pay attention to how that rate changes over the course of time though. Brand new movements tend to have their timing rate change as they 'run-in' for the first couple of months, and then their Tate tends to slowly change over time between services as lubricants age.

Also, if you want to get a more complete picture of the timing behaviour of that movement, winding it fully and leaving it sitting in a fixed position for 24 hours and checking the rate in the dial up, dial down, crown up, crown down, 12 up and 6 up positions will tell you more, but that would require you not to wear the watch while you are timing it, so you may not want to do that kek.

Nice solar tuna. I've got the steel shroud on the way for mine.

>>14235574
Not interested, thx for the offer.The design is not what i imagined.

>>14235628
Yes, buy in Japan Grand Seiko was a product line, not a brand, because Japanese consumers are used to large companies making products at every pricepoint from entry level to high luxury. Internationally, consumers have always found that idea very strange in a way that tended to hurt sales, so many Japanese brands ended up making separate luxury brands for that reason (e.g. Lexus, Acura, Infinity).

Some things just look different in person than in photos. What looks the best in person from the poorfag list?

>>14235872
More like 500$. It’s 18k gold. But so what?

>>14235934
If you mean in terms of what looks the best made that is cheap, then any upper mid-range Seiko will over the best case/dial/hand/bracelet finishing you will see on a watch below $1k. This comes at the expense of a pretty meh movement, but any watch with a decentish movement for $1k has garbage external finishing.

>>14235949
*Will offer the best

>>14235933
Nothing's changed except for the dial layout (which is much better now), and some management bs.

Poorfag here. I can only get one of those two.

Which one should I get?

>>14235963
Forgot the pic.

Which one /wt/?

>>14235963
Number two definitely

>>14235969
1 looks absolutely amazing.

>>14235960
You mean like how they replaced the Honda, Toyota and Nissan badges with Acura, Lexus and Infinity and just started claiming they were separate brands?

Yes. That's exactly what Seiko did. That's what branding *is*.

>>14235969
Model name of the citizen?

>>14235969
1 is kinda nice irl especially how I got it for around 120$

>>14235983
It's still Grand Seiko though.

>>14235969

>>14235983
>That's exactly what Seiko did.
Yeah, in the 60s.

>>14235986
>>14235990
The steel strap has sold it for me I think! Thanks for the pics.

How does it wear? With those two bulges on the back?

>>14235993
>Yeah, in the 60s.
No. Grand Seiko was not treated like a separate brand from Seiko in the 1960s. It was a product line, like Seiko's other product lines (e.g. King Seiko, LM Special, Lord Marvel, Business-A, Presmatic, etc.)

Seiko was very specific in announcing that Grand Seiko was *now* a separate brand a couple of years ago when they dropped Seiko from the dials. Grand Seiko is now (in theory) organized as a separate brand.

Of course, in reality, nothing has changed and this is all marketing BS, since the GS production chain still makes watches that are sold labelled as Seikos, and the Credor Micro-Artist Studio makes some watches which are sold as Grand Seikos.

But it still says Grand Seiko...

>>14236009
I, as a (((merchant))), have only tried it on for the pictures the back wasn't a problem. The problem was how it's pretty wide, as you can see on the pictures. So unless you're a big guy, it might be a little uncomfy to wear daily.
Also the bracelet is was short for the big guy I bought it for. So make sure it comes with all the links.

>>14236041
Thanks for the heads up!

That style of lumed numerals and indices is from pilot's watches, and the idea is that you can instantly tell the time just from a glance, even under bad circumstances.

>>14236068
technology-wise, Seiko is cutting edge, but styling wise, they are always at least a decade behind.

Ten years ago, Panerai were super-hot and they had giant numerals at the cardinal indices.

>>14235949
So what you're saying is that the Seiko turtle is the best in the list in OP?

>>14236091
t. someone who knows absolutely dick about watches.

>>14236086
>That style of lumed numerals and indices is from pilot's watches
Show me one other watch with XBOXHUGE numbers like that. I've seen like 9000 pilot watches in the past few days since I'm looking for something that doesn't look like shit, and not one had anything like that.

>>14236098
>Show me one other watch with XBOXHUGE numbers like that.
Tell me you're joking.

>>14236086
>That style of lumed numerals and indices is from pilot's watches,
Oversized lume is from diver's watches you mouth-breathing burger fucktard.

Seriously, this has to be the stupidest collection of dimwits this side of /r9k/.
Nevermind being able to afford anything halfway decent, none of you has the fucking taste to know the difference anyway.

Fuck you all, I'm out.

>>14236101

>Oversized lume is from diver's watches you mouth-breathing burger fucktard.

>>14236107
Lel, you didn't ask for one.

>>14236101
I'm not. As you can see even the absolute worst example you could post has numbers at about 3/4 the size of the Seiko at most.

>>14236108
not oversized lume.

>>14236115
That's not how you cope, autismlet.

>>14236118
What?

>>14236111
How on earth did the Breitling design team ever look at that and think "This is great!"?

That design is very much a modern classic.
It works very well with the fact that it's a quartz.

>>14236127
Dude do you have eyes? Photoshop the dials with 50% opacity over each other.

>>14236136
You asked for huge numerals, I'm giving you them.

>>14236144
No, you're posting normal big ones, can't you see how ridiculous the ones in >>14236068 are in comparison?

>>14236148
You're coping very poorly.

>>14235925
Yeah I'm waiting for you to get it and post pics, my man.

>>14236158
I still don't know what that means dude.

>>14236168
It means learn more about watches.

>>14236168
Don't worry, he's spamming to kill the thread. Maybe he'll behave in the next one. Just let him go, he'll get tuckered-out soon enough.

>>14236176
Yes, it's me killing the thread and not the newfags crying about how "oversized lumed numerals" only exist on diver watches, and no pilot's watches ever had oversized lumed numerals.

>>14236184
true, but you also posted >>14236175 and >>14236144 which are dive-watches; and >>14236158 and >>14236111 which don't have lumed numerals.
So what point are you trying to even make anymore?

>>14236192
Well the guy did ask "Show me one other watch with XBOXHUGE numbers like that".

Huge numerals are iconic for pilot's watches, so I assumed that was a given.

>>14236199
>Well the guy did ask "Show me one other watch with XBOXHUGE numbers like that".
And you still didn't...

>>14236201
Because none of the watches I posted have huge numerals, right?

>>14236204
Nope, they're all smaller than the OP.

>>14236204
No, they're not that huge.
The numerals in >>14236068 combined take up half the width of the dial. >>14236111 is the only one with numbers that are that large, proportionally.
The rest are large, but certainly not oversized.
>>14236108's numbers are downright proportional.

>>14236209
Not the guy you're arguing with, but if the Sinn 556a and 856 don't count as a Pilot watch with similarly oversized 3/6/9/12 numerals than you've moved the goalposts so far that literally no other watch would qualify.

>>14236207
>>14236209
>hurf durf they're not the exact same size!
Like I said, not coping well.

>>14236209
>The rest are large, but certainly not oversized.
Autism.

>>14236219
You just keep repeating it without explaining what the fuck you're trying to say.

>>14236216
take the width of the 3 and the 9, add them together and see what percentage they are of the dial. You'll find that while the Sinn's numbers look large, they aren't that big in terms of the overall width of the dial because they're set inboard of the minute track.

>>14236216
the real tragedy here is that someone bought that.

>>14236232
Not him, but "cope", "coping", "cope harder" etc means that he thinks you've been dunked on and you're trying, in vain, to save some face. To wit, this is your emotional coping mechanism to deal with your "le epic fail".

It's pretty painful to see someone go back to it over and over again because it's the equivalent of declaring oneself the winner of an internet argument.

hey /fa/, I'm no watch expert so I have no clue what this is worth. The face of it is scratched up to all hell so no idea if it's fake.
possibly vintage because I can't find it on the website? maybe I just have my hopes up

>>14236257
I see, back in my day we called it backpedaling.

I was literally just complaining about the biggest numbers known to man though, so I don't get where the argument was in the first place.

>>14236209
>>14236207
>>14236234
This is the most embarrassing display of autism on /wt/ in a long time.

>>14236272
That's not what backpedalling is.

>>14236272
>so I don't get where the argument was in the first place.
I'm guessing the guy either likes (or, worse, actually bought) that shitty Seiko and got pissy when it was criticized.
Some people take it really personally when someone hates their watches. Do you remember the threads a couple days ago when someone's Longines diver got criticized and the guy got so asspained he derailed like three threads in a row?

>>14236269
What's on the back?

>>14236286
literally nothing but just the plain gold back case with a faint serial number (I think?)

>>14236234
>>14236098
>I've seen like 9000 pilot watches and not one had anything like that.
So you're saying the dial on the Sinn 556 is "nothing like" the dial on the Seiko.

Even though the dial layout is almost the exact same, and the numbers have pretty much the same proportions.
Just give it up, anon.

>>14236286
oh I see what's happened. I thought it was odd. the back casing's been replaced with a new one pic related

>>14236269
take it to a GP dealer and have it authenticated. They maintain better records of their past models than the internet does.

>>14236296
Why are you counting the Seiko's inner rotating bezel as part of the dial?

>>14236269
Well, if it's real, it's some variant of this:

https://itsawindup.com/watches/girard-perregaux-nos-gents-vintage-manual-watch-1970s-diamond-dial-1

>>14236306
Because it visually is. It's like a large rehaut.

Same with something like a Navitimer; even a 41mm looks large because it's "all dial".

>>14236285
Ah, OK. That makes sense.

>>14236309
>visually
So, it's a completely subjective matter now. Cool. Well, this was fun. Time for a new thread.

>>14236315
You really don't like being wrong, do you?

>>14236306
What the fuck are you talking about?
The rotating bezel is the one thing where the Seiko is different from the Sinn, and I'm talking about how similar they are.

>>14236323
Typical Gamma male.

https://alphagameplan.blogspot.com/2015/02/are-you-gamma-1-of-2.html

>>14236315
Not him, but watch size is definitely a subjective matter. The larger the span of the crystal, the bigger the watch will look.
That's why dive watches in general wear relatively small.

>>14236175
>ruined by the out of place, ugly date window
JLC, WHY?? This ruins more otherwise beautiful watches for me than anything else

>>14236296
You should have used the 856 for the comparison, as I think the 3/6/9/12 are bigger on the 856 than the 556a.

>>14236377
At least JLC makes a bondage version of the Polaris, though it's not a memovox.

>>14236377
Simple market demands. For some reason, the vast majority of normies really like a date window.
The 3 o'clock position is the traditional spot for it and a contrasting color date wheel makes it easier to read for people with old, weakening eyes.

At least some companies still get it and we have the no-date Sub, the Master collection Seamaster 300, the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, etc without a date.

>>14236384
That looks good. Shame about the meme 41mm size. I prefer the lighter color sector dials anyway. Seriously considering a Master Control for my next watch. I’d love a memovox for the novelty though. Or a Geophysic True Seconds to trigger the quartzfags in this thread.

>>14236377
Normies can't handle a watch without a date window, it goes beyond their comprehension If a normie sees a summetrically well done watch, he gets all nervous and will have a mental breakdown soon.

Thank god there is some sanity left at JLC and they also produced non date versions. The other poster just chose to be a tastless faggot and posted the retarded version.
But what would you expect from somebody that gets triggered into a multi- post war over some goddamn numbers with another manchild?

What always wonders me, why did nobody manage to make a datewindow on the side of the case? That would be some innovation and a nice touch, if done right.
It would be harder to pull off with diving watches, making it water resistant would be harder. But dress watches would be easy to do.

>>14236407
>why did nobody manage to make a datewindow on the side of the case?

Probably a matter of overall thickness. Having a date numeral large enough to read would make the watch unnecessarily thick, regardless of the contortions you would need to perform in order to actually read the date from the side of the case.

There are good solutions to dates:
pointer dates are fine and don't disturb the dial's symmetry
putting the date window at 6 or 12 and using a color-matched date wheel is also a fine solution

>>14236389
>True Seconds to trigger the quartzfags in this thread
>imagine actually buying a several thousand dollar watch just out of spite of some imaginary haters

Don't make yourself unhappy, dude.

>>14236377
Because boomers really like the date function. My dad won't even consider a watch without one.

>>14236436
>>14236427
>>14236407
>>14236386
>>14236377
I usually hate generic date windows too.
Now I have a watch with a date AND a day, and I don't mind it at all because it's done really inconspicuously.

>make a tasteful 38mm watch
>the lugs are stupid long (47mm lug to lug)
You can only wear this watch with a nato strap since it can hide the gap.

>>14236442
I don't mind the date window on that watch but it really ruins the look for others.
Like pic related, why can't JLC move the window closer to the bezel and avoid cutting the circle?

>>14236427
>thickness
My idea was that they would put a magnifying lense infront of the date so it could be kept small but well to see.
>read the date
I would put it on the 8 o'clock position, on the case side so you would only need to turn your wrist a bit.

But replying made me think a bit more about it and i found the biggest flaw in my idea:
How to make an outer datering that would not get in the way of the crown/winding stem?

Ok, there are already crownless watches but that would add a whole lot of fuckery just to move the date window.

>>14236458
The entire point of the date window is to cut the circle. It's to emulate ye olden days when you couldn't prototype digitally so you had to make all sorts of dumb compromises.

>>14236450
>Hamilton is a retarded meme company
>imagine my shock

Due to the irrational fear of quartz on this board, most faggots cant even imagine to search for quartz field watches.
MWC and CWC are offering all kinds of models that look way better and are way cheaper than gaymilton. Stop throwing money at them plz.
Also that date window just ruins the nice dial.

Well, I mean, it's a super compressor diver, I would expect to to be around 40mm at least given the style of watch.

>Seriously considering a Master Control for my next watch.
Great watches.

>Or a Geophysic True Seconds to trigger the quartzfags in this thread.
Don't. According to a guy who used to post to these thread who knew his shit, the deadbeat second complication gets really sloppy if the watch is held upside down, apparently there is too much play in the complication for it to have the kind of satisfying precisions you get from a high accuracy quartz movement damped against backlash. If you don't believe me, at least examine one in operation up close before you buy.

>>14236488
Holy shit, thank you anon for introducing me to MWC. Definitely gonna buy something from them soon

>>14236562
Wasn't there some guy a few years ago who made a quasi-dead beat movement by simply reducing the rate down to 1Hz?

>>14236552
The only problem I have with it is that due to the extreme matte finish it looks like it's made out of plastic. Oh well, it's been discontinued for ages anyway.

>>14236433
It has the upside of being a beautiful watch with an interesting complication.
>>14236562
That’s a shame, I’ll have to look into it more, it’s the first I’ve heard of the issue. Unfortunately there is no dedicated JLC boutique around me and I’ve never seen any retailer carry them.

I got myself this little shitter but with a khaki case. Pic is the best i could find tho. Nice little watch, but for 40€ i have no trust at all in the case coating. If it rubs off, ill just plastidip it in khaki again, fuck it.
