Why are you afraid of German watchmaking? Is it because the first watch was invented by a German in Nuremberg? Is it because Sinn single handedly exposing the Swiss as the Jews of the watch industry? Is it because you are a small dicked, insecure rolexfag? Is it because we conquered most of mainland Europe by 1941, and defeated the French in 6 weeks and you are still butthurt about it?

You know the strangest thing about sinn? I can't find one on their website that is aesthetically pleasing. Not one. Either they're complicated in the generic way you see with Fortis and Damasco, or they're trying to be 'classic' but without the proportions of IWC, Hamilton, or other makers from those eras.

The simple designs, while extraordinarily German, are not beautiful in the Nomos way nor are they well thought out like Lange. They're...like granite.

No, I don't like a sinn, nor will I ever buy one. As to your leftist strategy of getting a response, "why are you afraid of x", the only answer I can give you is "why are you afraid of y? (insert anything from Swiss watchmaking to Japanese watchmaking to better German brands to quartz).

Hell, the Lacos pilot's watch is infinitely better aesthetically than the sinn version. What can one say...sinn is shit, and that's why people disrupt this board with them.

Pulsar belongs under Seiko, but their prices are unbeatable. They even supplied the RAF with chronos when quartz was booming. Sadly they dont make them in 39mm anymore, the originals are 400-2000, the reproduction is 43mm, but the proportions are a bit...off? Also crown guard ruins the aesthetic for me.

Basically what I’m looking for too. Best I’ve found are Omegas from the 60s and 70s. Both sea masters and deville. Magnificent looking pieces for that amount of money and below (in mint condition too). Golds been in decline regarding watches (gold is old) so you can find many bargains on those ones as well, if golds your cup of tea, I’ve looked around and I’ve found the aforementioned the most pleasant looking.. my holy grail would be either a Reverso or a Cartier Tank. But hey, even JFK and Jackie thought nothing came close to the class and harmony of a good slim Omega from the 60s. So if it’s good enough for them, good enough for me!

Handheld stop watches: most of the cheap ones are shot to shit. You can get a new-production Agat from whatever post-soviet shithole factory that still makes them, but you'll have to baby it, since it has no shock protection. Drop it from even a moderate height and that heavy pocketwatch balance will have its pivots snapped clean off.
Pocket watches: Again very old and shot to shit. Soviet Molniya comes to mind, but most will be worn to shit. Also Raketa and other brands made compact pocket watches with wristwatch calibers inside. Those will likely be in better condition, and if they aren't, they'll be easier to repair.

Quartz chronographs are by far more accurate, and given the technology they can also be more precise. The issues come from actual timekeeping, synchronization between the pressing of buttons to the mechanism, the ability to read accurately off the dial, etc.

When 'Omega' is the official timekeeper of the Olympics, they're not using mechanical chronographs and haven't since the early 70's.

On the comparison, you won't find much if any info because it's a moot point, and no one would bother comparing the two.

Make your wrist a tiny bit wet, then wear it loose, or wear it loose and jam it a bit higher up. Wearing it tighter is not that bad with leather, sucks ass with a metal bracelet.
I know this feel and mantain that a silicone/rubber strap that allows you to cut both bits precisely as you would like is the most comfy. Pic rel, but mine had even more holes.

Honestly speaking, I would prefer Longines over all the other brands if they didn't have shitty 3bar water resistance. Srsly tho, at $3k, is it really too much to ask to have at least 30bar? Even $50 Seiko SNK's have 30+ bar ratings.
