Is there any point in buying a quartz that isn't a G Shock?

>>14294765
From a purely logical stand point the only watch "worth" buying is the f-91w.

>>14294803
Nice tank kek
It actually looks nice, wish the case was metal though

Rollies are boring. Change my mind?

>>14294766
Yes, but I mean if you want to wear a watch all the time and be the watch guy in your microcosm, obviously the general idea is to do it with something commonly accepted such as the Speedy or the Sub, and if you're really young it can be one of the Seikos or something, so what's actually the point of quartz watches, let's say from $500 to $2500, so from the better Seiko chronographs to Astron, or any other brand's equivalents, who actually wears those and why?

>>14294866
There are some pretty interesting pieces if you look around.

Hey not usually a watch guy but im gonna need one this summer. Got any cool ones that give off a futuristic vibe? But like in that way in how the 80s/90s thought the future would be like

In the last thread someone showed interest in buying my Sturmanskie 31659. Pls email me at karlstuhespanier (gmail).

Just a casio I guess?

This is what space watches would look like in 2122 according to james cameron in 1986.

>>14295092
I have one and it feels a bit too 80s with my outfits

>>14295095
Better similar to this, although can't seem to find it online.

Why do so few chronos have the lower pusher on the left side? Feels much more ergonomic.

Fuck Seikos.

Can someone explain to a brainlet like me the benefits of a column wheel chronograph?been reading about it but I can't really grasp the concept behind the movement.

With the knowledge on how to put a watch together, how cheap can you build a Rolex Submariner from parts?

R8 my new flex bois

These are so good looking. Can't wait to get mine next Thursday.

>>14295555
Very broadly speaking, coulisse or cam-and-lever movement has a greater rate of wear. That's pretty much the only benefit of a column wheel.

I'm absolutely in love with this 18 carat, rose gold TAG Heuer Carrera watch purchased from the beautiful city of Perth. Made with sapphire infused glass that only diamond can scratch, I've spoiled myself with this gorgeous timepiece. The calibre 16 movement has been crowned as the most successful automatic chronograph movement ever produced, completely handmade by man. It is also my very first day date watch and it will be interesting to see if it becomes an important feature that Will depend on over time. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I do.

>>14295830
Since there's barely any pictures on the internet of the 36mm version, I've shopped one myself using a Bulova 36mm supercompressor.

Finally got a genuine leather strap for the snkl23. now you guys can call me Mr. Hodinkee

>>14294899
>Yes, but I mean if you want to wear a watch all the time and be the watch guy in your microcosm, obviously the general idea is to do it with something commonly accepted such as the Speedy or the Sub,
These two ideas dont necessarily go hand in hand. There's plenty of people that own either of those for no reason other than because of the brand or some such reason, which of course doesnt make them "watch guys", just brand whores. Your knowledge of watches makes you a watch guy, not whatever generic, "acceptable" luxury watch you think will make you look like you know what youre talking about.

>so what's actually the point of quartz watches, let's say from $500 to $2500, so from the better Seiko chronographs to Astron, or any other brand's equivalents, who actually wears those and why?
Dudes who like what they like. It could be the design of a certain piece, or maybe one of them has an interesting history or usage, or one just works better in certain circumstances than other watches for their every day activities.

>>14296147
Being into something that's for rich people whilst not being rich is kind of pathetic in and of itself though, don't you think? When entry level costs 7k or so, it's hard to justify interest in the hobby if you don't even have that.

>Dudes who like what they like. It could be the design of a certain piece, or maybe one of them has an interesting history or usage, or one just works better in certain circumstances than other watches for their every day activities.
Apart from the G Shock can you name some that would be justified like that.

>you have to be into hh to be into watches

>>14296164
>Being into something that's for rich people whilst not being rich is kind of pathetic in and of itself though, don't you think?
Absolutely not. Just because someone cant participate, doesnt mean their interest and appreciation is worthless, any more so than believing that someone is a true hobbyist just because he has the money to buy whatever he wants; That's just brainless consumerism, which is far more pathetic. Ideally a mix of all three (interest, participation, and appreciation) is best, but the latter two are preferable to just the former when it comes to being any sort of hobbyist.That being said, the ability to throw money around on expensive watches doesnt legitimize such a practice. A millionaire can go around and buy all the Subs, APs, and ALSs he wants, that doesnt make him a watch guy. that makes him a guy with money and questionable spending habits.

>When entry level costs 7k or so, it's hard to justify interest in the hobby if you don't even have that.
7k is hardly "entry level" in the first place. There's fine pieces from 4-5k.

>Apart from the G Shock can you name some that would be justified like that.
Personally speaking, the casio AE-1200WH. I love the design, and its packed with features i use daily. I've also gotten numerous complements on it as well. It cost me 26 dollars, so its easily replaceable should i need to, looks good, tells time, and helps me with my work.

My father recently gave me an old watch he traded a soviet paratrooper back when he was in the Navy and I was curious your opinions on it

>Dude it's the same exact shit as G Shock just Casio. Are you pretending you don't get what I'm talking about or what?
You asked me to list something that could be justtified for the reasons i listed, like looks or functions. I like the look of that model and so do others, I dont like G shocks so i dont buy them. I dont get what youre bitching about now.

My original point is that, since the entry level watches are Speedy and Sub, and there is nothing respectable below them, except the literal $10 watches you buy at a news stand similar to $10 sunglasses that you just throw away at the end of the day, that it's completely pointless to bother with the hobby itself and all the knowledge in the world won't save one or make it in any way non-pathetic for one to expend their mental energy on knowing anything about the hobby.

Ive already addressed everything you originally stated. A speedmaster/Sub isnt the only entry level watch, theres nice watches well below the price of them, knowledge>money, it isnt pathetic if you cant drop 6k on jewelry.

You sound more concerned with making sure youre accepted by other brandwhores and consumers, and make sure people know that you can spend lots of money like a big boy. Cant help you with that, Anon.

I never even mentioned the "couldn't afford a Rolly?" mechanical brands because everyone knows they're just a stepping stone to a real watch that you're supposed to grow out of as you get into your 20s.

>>14297169
Look for Komandirskie "Junior" or "Cadet". 33mm. They appear to be out of production, however. Ladies Amphibian uses the same case and could be modded.

>>14297185
It was just an early prototype from like 10 years ago.

Now they have a Seagull SG2903.

These sound like a joke movement too. instead of elapsed hours it has a 24 hour subdial

Are there any European divers that are worth while in the US $500-800 range?

What's the point in having a $1.5k fake Speedmaster when you can get the real thing for barely double the price? I'd understand if it was $150 but that's just dumb.

You seem to be under the misconception that anyone in the market for a chrono is obligated to get an omega whether they like them or not.

No offense pal, but that looks like a £30 Accurist.

I mean he could get a flieger chrono from IWC too, but obviously for the tool chrono style there's nothing else but Omega that's a serious watch so why pretend?

I'd much rather not even wear a watch, than wear a cheap imitation of the real thing.

Wearing a replica says to folks, "I hope you arent keen enough to realize this is a fake and call me out on it".

What if someone with a real Speedmaster wants to chat you up about it? Then you have to say, "yeah, just a phony." Embarrassment City.

Good luck.
I did it right and saved for a while to afford the one and only Moonwatch.

>>14297474
It doesn't even look like a speedy are you retarded?

>>14297484
Im not comfortable with a cheap copy. I'm fine with something that puts their own spin on it though.

I think the Bulova would be different enough that I would be comfortable wearing it. Plus it's based off a historical watch, which could turn conversation away from the fact that it looks like a Speedmaster. These, not so much.

>>14297493
I can't tell if you're legit retarded or really bad at trolling

>>14297493
>>14297474
For me I don't feel like dropping a few grand on a watch, but I like the design. It's as simple as that. If I can have a watch design I like and save a few grand, I don't care if it says Casio on the front of it. Or Invicta for that matter. It's not about wanting to fool people into thinking I have an expensive watch.

>>14297503
Its all relative. If you make $50k a year $500 on a watch is 1% of your annual salary. If you make $500k $5k is one percent of your salary and the additional $5k on the watch doesn't cut into your mortgage payment. I like watches so I buy what I like. Some higher end but in the end real watch collectors are really rich and $500k only gets you a handful of what's really considered high end. My feeling is its for u and if $50 I'd the right number for you, you get the best you can get for $50. My most expensive watch is the watch I value the least but at the same time it's my most orized possession in my collection. Why because my working class family has a great tradition. Graduate college, get a Rolex, and get off the payroll.

My my first real watch was more expensive than the car I was driving at the time. My first car was scrapped to parts after both my two bros and myself drove it through two engines. All three of our rolex's are still ticking. Any Quartz is still also ticking too so rock it if you got it. And for the big boys sporting Piaget and Patek - we all hope to get there but till then homage U

Sorry for the shitty quality: this is a screenshot from an archived page of the Met store.

Why has none of you miserable cunts ever told me they made this sunburst blue version of the seagull 1963? I want one now but they're out of stock.

Yeah, the Smiths PRS-29a.
36mm, springbar holes for easy change, domed sapphire and eta cal.2801 hand wound.
It's a homage of the original issued smiths military watch of the from the 60's/70's for British troops. Only difference (apart from the swiss vs Smiths english movment) is on the 29a model the springbars are replaceable; the original homage smiths prs-29 had fixed springbars and could only take nato type straps, and of course luminova instead of tritium for the luminescence.

I really like the look of it.
I like that MOD style milwatch type thing, the size is inconspicuous and not obnoxious.

However, they're all made by a company called Timefactors, which is a one man band, who also owns the tz-uk watch forum who bought the Smiths name.

He does all the designs work (or, in the case of a vintage ripoff, translates the designs to a modern format) and sends the data off to have cases and dials and other shit made elsewhere and then the finished parts are assembled in the UK, which allows them to utilize the "made in england" on the dial. Used to be made in germany, cept the movement, but apparently some shit wend down and the guy's moved production to hong kong.
Okay whatever a lot of shit is mad there these days. As long as it's made to spec, right?

Problem lies with the guy that owns the brand. From virtually all accounts he is an insufferable cunt and that you be better off not buying anything from him.

It's like this: if you buy something, and shit goes wrong with it (bad QC) and you approach the guy he will get all bitchy and blame you.
He owns the forum his brand is talked on most so if you try to complain there you get banned.

In one instance I read of he doxxed a disgruntled customer and tried to blackmail them or some shit.

After some quick consideration I figured that it'd be best if I just pick up a real vintage mil watch instead of dealing with the potential bullshit.

Life's too short to deal with cunts.

There's the longines 13ZN.

>>14296563
Junk brand that puts on airs of refinement and elegance that seems very popular with the mainland chinese at the moment because that's the only market that's dumb enough to fall for the marketing.
They had one interesting design over a decade ago, and even that was a bit garish (the honeycomb yellow diver) and everything they make is bland. I would avoid in all honesty.
Generic casemaker slotting in ETA or whatevers that's a shell name owned by richemont.
Shit even the fucking montblanc watches have more character and sophistication to their construction and design than BetM.

>>14298429
On the technical merits the Lemania 5100 is the best mechanical sports/tool-watch chronograph movement ever made.

For historical and horlogical merits it's probably the Lemania 2310, better known as the Omega 321.

Don't buy at grey prices, it's not worth it. If your AD isn't in a densely populated area you might get away with waiting a little less, also expressing interest in a PM piece or jewellery can help, but a cheap Rolex or Breitling probably won't do much.

>>14297832
>I'll never understand what people see in the datejust

They are the perfect watch for someone who wants just one watch. It's rugged enough to wear it for most outdoorsy/aquatic situations. It's dressy enough for most suit-and-tie situations.

My father bought his in 1989 and has worn it pretty much every single day of his life since then. He's worn it doing everything from snorkeling to bikepacking.

>>14298479
Cool writeup thanks for the info. Good luck getting a vintage mil, it's a tough world for them.

you're in for a shock a family friend payed a 4k premium to get one new from an ad. either way you aren't getting retail price. i'd go for the grey market and flip it since the bubble still is going to grow

I'm thinking of getting a Timex Expedition (Field|Scout|Ranger) to replace or at least change up with my Timex Weekender. I'm not quite sure what styling I like better though. I want to go for a military/pilot-styled watch, something bigger than my 20mm lug Weekender at least.

It's a fucking interim job, full-time with benefits. I've been there 3 months and my supervisors are trying to push me into corporate supply chain. I've already been awarded employee of the month.

I'm the first person in my family to go to college, I didn't have daddy to get me a job at his fortune 500 company after graduating like these other rich pricks. I'm doing the best with what I have anon.

>>14299241
Normally you're supposed to get a Rolly if you graduate college, see >>14297508

Anyway your always going to be poor with this toxic attitude.

>>14299174
I don't, it's closer to ±$900/wk, also I'm Canadian, anything that's like $200–300 US is like $300–400++ here.

>>14299349
Then you need a $3k watch, one month's salary is the usual rule. People go overboard and get a few months, you can save for that too.

If you like the Timex chrono, then you need an Omega Speedmaster.

>>14299376
is this tudorfag?

>>14299376
Hm. $58/week every week for a year, or $125/wk for about half a year.
Also I'm pretty sure if I got an Omega Speedmaster and knew how much it cost, one of my friends would probably tell me that I'm a fucking faggot for spending that kind of money on a watch, another would probably ask me how I saved up for it, and my father would probably think that I made a bad decision but still respect it because it's my money to do with what I want.
Also I'm trying to save $2000 up so then I can get out this apartment that I'm in, and would love to also save up an additional $3000 for a new computer.

having a nice watch will help you make more money. it wouldnt be a bad idea for you to get a loan so you can buy the watch now and you'll be able to pay it off faster.

>>14299195
Order this from Japan, lug width is 18mm so buy whatever strap you want

>>14298127
>value retention
Here we go. People dont buy seiko 5s for "value retention" you spaz.

>>14299438
I'm actually paying off my CC right now plus my student loan resumes in a couple months ($380/mo, still have about 9 years left), so I'm not sure if a loan is exactly a good idea for me. I'd prefer to just put money aside when possible for my goals (apartment damage+1st month (2k), watch (3k), new laptop (2k), new acoustic guitar ($600) etc.)
And I'm curious, how would having a nicer watch help me make more money other than I would guess having a more of an impact when meeting for interviews/etc.? I'm a web developer and currently working a remote contract job but am looking for full-time permanent here and there in case I'm done in a month or so. $25/hr also is considered competitive in Atlantic Canadian standards.

>Here we go. People dont buy seiko 5s for "value retention" you spaz.
Why do they buy them except for being poor and having a shitty life and wanting to broadcast that to everyone for some insane reason?

>>14295746
not any cheaper and easier than buying one.

>>14299488
you gotta think bigger than that bud. id take out a 30k load, buy a gold rolex and i guarantee ill be counting my millions within 6-9 months

maybe you should buy the poorfag watch, it'll suit you really well

>>14299376
>>14299438
>You NEED this watch!
>Take out a loan!
Are you one of (((gods chosen people)))? Stop pushing your shitty values on people. A watch that doesnt cost a salary is perfectly fine. Going into debt over a watch is just bad money management.

>>14299495
>broadcast
The only one projecting here, is you.

>>14299507
If you don't have an entry level watch you're either a) cheap, in which case fix your brain, or b) poor in which case fix your life.

>>14299517
And what do you consider an entry-level watch? Just curious.

>>14299519
speedy/sub

>>14299519
Entry level mechanical watches are the Omega Speedmaster chrono, or the Rolex Submariner diver watch, they're the most popular because they're the cheapest, have best brand recognition, are the most versatile, and they're ridiculously easy to service, find replacement parts for, etc.

>>14299525
Hm, not sure if I'm looking correctly. Then again, I'm not used to even considering buying things that high in price, lol.

>>14299542
He’s talking about the Speedmaster Professional which is the “moonwatch” and can be bought for around $4k grey market or cheaper used.

>>14299542
theyre trolling you, the whole "speedy/sub" thing is a meme

for >$100 Timex and Casio are both good choices

Any reason Hamilton isnt sold in Australia? They seem to be fairly popular overseas.

>>14299552
>theyre trolling you, the whole "speedy/sub" thing is a meme
Everyone knows what entry level watches are though? Look it up on any watch forum like watchuseek.com if you're new to watches.

it must suck to be the guy with a cheap watch collection. a couple 500 dollar watches here and there.. in the end you've spent as much as a rolex and have no value retention to show for it

>>14300175
For that reason I’m glad all the cheap watches in my collection are vintage. I am selling all of them for a profit, sometimes even 100%.

Planning on getting my first watch which is going to be a seiko 5 SNKK65 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JOBXAY/ref=dp_cerb_1
I've read the sticky about straps and like the look of this hirsch osiris but was wondering if you guys could weigh in on whether it's a good choice or if there's something more suitable
https://www.hirschstraps.com/collections/leather-hirsch-straps/products/hirsch-osiris-calf-leather-watch-strap-black
Any advice would be much appreciated

>>14302950
Yes

Congratulations

>>14302950
Maybe a black dial since it will go with more clothes? Other than that, very decent "generic" watch, strap looks good, fine choice overall.

>>14302955
thanks
>>14302963
thank you thats something ill consider

New WTF & Co.
Get in here, guys!
https://youtu.be/LBUdTKAHGWs

>>14302950
you really can't pony up more than 80 bucks for a watch? you really want to be another guy with a seiko 5? a man and his watch form a sacred connection, and you are going to get the most basic and common watch of all? jesus christ get a strap made of dog shit it will fit the watch better

>>14303059
It's literally a "hello, I would like a watch" watch, it's very nice and tasteful in how it's not overdesigned and pimped out.

>>14303059
No one is looking at your watch.

>>14303082
there's a fuckton of simple / tasteful watches that don't scream "WANNABE COLLECTOR'S FIRST WATCH". get a fucking quartz you autist. you really need to understand the only reason the snk's became famous was purely because of the fact they were the cheapest watches to have automatic movements and all the watchfags who wet there pants over mechanical watches started cumming.

a literal "hello, I would like a watch" watch is some fashion shitter the average joe gets at the mall. go fuck yourself with your 79.99 seiko 5, you don't even understand the concept of it's existence. btw it's movement is fucking shit running at +20 - 40 seconds a day. you literally could have gotten a Hamilton Khaki King from joma yesterday 38% off w/ mother's day sale for 350 bucks you fuck. day + date auto and versatile out the wazoo + a reputable entry level swiss brand AND a decorated ETA running within COSC specs YOU PIECE OF SHIT EAT SHIT YOU'RE A SHEEP WITH A SEIKO 5 NOW. HAVE SOME ORIGINAL TASTE OF YOUR OWN

>>14303088
that's naive as hell, every boomer I know judges a man first by handshake and what watch he wears. go outside faggot, nobody is looking at your watch because it's a seiko 5
"doesn't seiko make tv remotes? didn't know they had a watch.."

Suggestions for a generic looking tool chrono that's not a Speedmaster? Yes, I can't afford it, but that's what I want ideally.

REMINDER: SEIKO SNK'S WERE BOUGHT TO APPRECIATE THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE CHEAPEST AUTO IN HOUSE MOVEMENT WATCH. IT'S A NOVELTY, NOT A REAL WATCH FOR PEOPLE TO BUY AS A FIRST WATCH. YOU BUY IT FOR YOUR COLLECTION AFTER A ROLLIE FOR FUN AND GAMES AS A BEATER

>>14303097
>Hamilton Khaki King
Speaking of, are there any field chronographs like this discontinued Hamilton that I can't find anywhere for less than 1.5k and even then it's sold out/unavailable?

>>14303103
have you checked out sinn's? 356's (pictured) will run you about 1500 USD. the 103 chrono costs about 1300 as well on a strap, 1500 on bracelet

>>14303118
Holy shit that looks exactly like >>14303115 but uglier.

I can't find a field chronograph that doesn't have stupid shit like big 12/3/6/9, the ones that don't are usually pilot-styled i.e. dinner plates with useless shit all over.

>>14303115
you can get this sinn 103 ST from watchbuys.com for 1300?

>>14303120
what exactly is your definition here. you want a chrono field style w/out numerals? the field style usually has numerals

>>14303103
Budget and movement type?

>>14303124
>field numerals
>sport chrono
>diver bezel
>pilot styling

>>14303127
No I just don't want the said 4 numerals to be HUGE like this. I want all of them to be equal sized like >>14303115 - that's literally the perfect example of the style I want.

>>14303129
>>field numerals
he said field style watch so check
>>sport chrono
he said chrono so check
>>diver bezel
timing bezel bidirectional......
>>pilot styling
????

>>14303134
sinn 358? still pilot style more than field watch

>>14303134

There, 80 bucks.

>>14303144
How narrow is that strap?

Hi guys, I don't know much about watches but I wanted to buy a vintage Japanese one.

How cheap is it safe to go to buy a decent Seiko? I'm looking for quite a classic, minimal look, not too bulky on the wrist. Any specific models you guys would recommend?

Pic related, close to how I want but I would swap it out for black leather straps.

>>14303187
be advised any (x)r movement is legendary for having severe problems

>>14303097
>could have gotten a Hamilton Khaki King for 350 bucks
Wow he could have spent more for an uglier watch??

>>14303189

I'm not sure what that means, how do I know if it's an (x)r movement?

Hey, just bought this watch and strap from Russia, it's a manual winding Vostok Komandirskie. It's the first watch that I buy since I got interested in starting a collection. I've been using a generic Timex with a green NATO strap for about half a year now.

>>14303103

>>14303098
Are you on meds or something?

>>14303226
More like Gay Faggotry.

>>14303198
could have spent more for a mechanically better watch, you vain faggot

Hello all

>>14303231
are you poor little baby? all you can get i a 79 dollar seiko? wy dont you ask mommy or daddy for a bigger allowance. maybe they will give you 50 bucks if you make your bed and vacuum :)

Which one?

>>14303548
3rd from top I liek the most

it’s service time what’s everyone wearing

>>14299376
It's and always will be one week's wages

>>14303548
W86

36mm Explorer is the perfect watch. No need to @me

>>14303548
3rd from top for me as well

>>14304082
Too bad the 1016 is tremendously expensive nowadays.

What the hell is this?

>>14304284
36mm

>>14303276
Could've just said yes

>>14295746
you can get all sorts of parts from china
youtube has lots of videos on how to make your own watch
it will be a replica, but it won't be a Sub.
but, it is fun to make your own shit
it's a decent hobby.

>>14304944
>it will be a replica, but it won't be a Sub.
Why?

someone is selling the white dial 6s28 for about us$800. integrated column wheel chrono goodness.

>>14304082
It's, the old 38mm sub with the low profile comes in a second position.

>>14304284
For the new ones, 34mm.

What do you guys think of Braun watches? Anything I should watch out for when buying a model? I just want a reasonably priced, minimal, not flashy looking watch - but they have so many models

>>14305084

I don't. Minimalist shit is for cucks. Ooh I can't decide on a style so I'll choose no style . Fags.

About to buy a Tudor North Flag as my first good watch for just over 2000€. Any last words on why I shouldn't do it?

>>14305177
It's a poor man's Rolex. Just save up a bit more and get a real Rolex. Also it looks like ugly shit from the 70s.

>>14305084 I think they look pretty good, ive heard that they dont have the best quality but then again it was from this site

>>14305185
Which Rolex is their North Flag?

>>14305196
based. tudor north flag is only tudor/rolex watch with integrated bracelet and also tudor's first in house movement. it's a good buy and probably future collectible

>>14305177
Buy some yeezys and an apple watch

>>14305430
absolutely not
