>Most of the movement is made of plastic and is designed to be self lubricating, calibre 2250 was named Autolub but was also known as Astrolon and Sytal. The only metal parts are the keyless works , balance and mainspring barrel. As a Skeleton wristwatch Tissot cleverly reversed the normal layout allowing the balance to be seen through the dial. Tissot also developed their own shockproof system and lessened the parts from 91 for the average watch to 52 with some parts of the construction automated.
>Sealed hermetically the idea behind the IDEA was to have a mechanical watch that was cheap to make needed no servicing and was an affordable option for the customer. The early 70's was a heady time for Swiss watchmaking and the industry was about to undergo some radical changes. The Neuchatel Observatory chronometer trials had just closed. The first auto chrono wristwatches had emerged. Pulsar had plans to launch their LED in the spring of 72 and LCD was on its way.
>At the onset of the quartz revolution Tissot must have hoped they had a winner with this funky affordable Swiss timepiece but history tells us it failed. The (SEIKO) quartz juggernaut rolled over the Swiss industry leaving a trail of destruction, so much so that a mere 7 years later SSIH was in deep financial trouble. ASUAG ( Allgemeine Schweizerische Uhrenindustrie AG ) was also facing liquidation. ASUAG was the worlds largest movement maker and parent company to GWC, General watch company. Desperate bankers forced both companies to merge in 1983 to form BAKA. In 1985 Nicolas Hayek the executive that oversaw the merger made the company private along with Swiss bankers and private investors. The initial restructuring coincided with the birth of the Swatch watch.

Isn't this just like a sistem 51?

Why are these so expensive now? I remember them being like 2.9k at some point. Is this some new version? Is there one without the annoying FIRST AND ONLY shit on the back?

>>15589095
not sure about the arrangement of the internals but yes, a precursor, and 52 instead of 51 parts. Plastic in watches was like some groundbreaking meme tech then. And more than 10 years before Swatch existed.

Could anyone please help me id this watch or recommend me something similar?

>>15589123
They're expensive because retards keep buying them regardless of how much they inflate MSRP. They are outclassed by so many chronographs in 2020 that it's borderline ridiculous. Redd*t tier nerds buy one after they get their first real man's salary and think they are somehow associated with NASA and advanced engineering by wearing one. It's a bad joke, the entire thing. Yet faggots will continue to buy them all the way into actual luxury watch price brackets.

>>15589277
Pretty minty penisquartz there.

Screw-down crown on a manual wind is the worst thing possible unless you have an 8 day power reserve or something.

Change my mind?

Also, which mechanism that you have tried felt the best during winding?

>>15589272
>There's probably an even more basic one with the hesalite and no sapphire caseback
Yeah but I'm specifically talking about the ones with sapphire caseback, how is it possible it nearly doubled in price, what the fuck.
>>15589144
It's a shame, I love the design. Except the FRIST BLAH BLUH.

>>15589269
Is this some new forced meme? Havent been here since tudor was being pushed.

My panda Seagull 1963 arrived today and it's pretty nice, it has a signed crown & clasp and the leather strap is pretty decent quality, it's on par with a semi decent ebay leather strap.

>>15589304
Crown & clasp.

>>15589320
get the 36 why would you even consider anything else

>>15589047
I just use 22mm straps for my bambino, you only need 21mm if you’re using a bracelet.

>>15589095
Sistem 51 is worse. That tissot isn't exactly bad as it wasn't made to be disposable. Sistem 51 is regulated once through some convoluted process involving a laser at the factory and then that's it, it can't be regulated again without hassle but you'd probably be throwing that movement out and chucking a new one in by then anyway.

>>15589281
Yeah, the indices are slightly tarnished but not bad for a 40 odd year old watch, the finishing on the bracelet and case is phenomenal

Honestly I love the blue more than anything else so that's more important. A similarly sized sub with a matching dial/bezel would probably be ideal.

>>15589853

What's the point of getting a Rolex when Tudor exists? As long as there's a market for Rolex there's a market for Tudor too, right?

>>15589909
Just did and now it stopped, fuck you.

>>15589839
>everyone
If you mean eeveryone who knows very little about watches, at which point you are fooling people who probably don't know who Omega is. The Seiko will have better materials, better movement and better finish unless it's some rare top shelf ripoff. I've never seen someone have even a good ripoff last more than a year with constant wear. The movements die, the hands fall off or loosen up, the bracelet detaches, etc. If you can live with wearing a fraud, have at it, but don't say you weren't warned.

>>15589943
>what's the point of watch A when watch B exists which is made in an entirely different factory, designed by different people and marketed to a different demographic

>>15589963
So what? It's almost the same at a discount price and it will always have a market.
Seems like a much better deal to me.

>>15589973
why not some other brand?
why tudor at all when ___ exists for even cheaper prices?

>>15589828
If you don't mind wearing an homage, then you will love this, and remember if you don't like cyclops you can always remove it easily.

>>15589977
Did you even read my first post?
Because Tudor's market is held up by Rolex's market, unlike some shitter brand.

>>15589990
so you only want one because you might be able to sell it and lose less money?

>>15590031
>only
That's a big plus. The watches themselves are great.

>>15589856
Honestly almost tempted but likely not until the very far future.
>>15589873
Looks nice, I'll look into this one a little bit more. Thanks anon

>>15590089
No problem, but I agree with the other anon that you'd probably be happier in the long run by just saving up and getting the Tudor. Even if it's a used one, it's still better than getting a homage or something similar

>>15589853
>>15589873
The other Swatch group budget diver is the Certina DS Action at around $600. It's "diver's 300m" rated but lacks the ceramic bezel and the transparent back of the Tissot.

Not entirely against a homage. Seems to come closest to the blue I'm looking for actually. Shame it also only comes in 42mm as far as I can find. Would prefer 39 or 40.

Also this watch is pretty sexy overall but it's too bad they decided to be lazy and put such a tiny movement in it.
This is a 36mm stowa and they put the ETA 7001 in a 23mm movement

>>15590683

This is maybe to the sportier side, but Casio Edifice EFV 110D looks pretty nice and is cheap.

>>15590887
Not him, but I agree on his point of movements not filling casebacks just looks like shit. You get the vibes of a small quartz movement and plastic filler ring. Thick metal on a display caseback just makes the watch look cheap.

>>15590887
Display casebacks look like shit, make watches thicker, feel uncomfortable against your skin and 95% of watches with a display caseback have some nh-35 shitter tier movement in them.
I don't think they should be used at all but if they must they really shouldn't be in on anything lower tier then a. lange & söhne.

I wouldn't wear a pilot with a suit. It's a military watch and you can tell from miles away. Wear any Orient.

>>15590865
like the other anon said pilots dont really go with a suit its kinda a casual look
but i doubt its going to matter anyway unless its some high function shit where dress codes are strict

Is there any reason i shouldn't get a Sinn 556
Its towards the top end of my budget but fits all my wants

Automatic
Super clean minimal look
SS bracelet
200m WR
Crown guards (clumsy af & like how it looks)

The only other options ive found are the outdoor protect which i dont think looks as nice & damasko. Damasko is nice but with the bracelet it's 856 price range so not a great comparison.

>>15590680
Idiot, they did that to keep the height of the watch low, that's why it's a manual. It's a dress watch.
Is eveyone on /wtg/ this retarded?

>>15591101
Sinn are great and ridiculously tough. As a daily wear they are hard to beat (or scratch) for the price. Not the most exciting or stylish designs though but that is down to personal taste.

>>15591101
I had an 856 utc. Highly recommended. One of the most comfortable bracelets ive ever worn.

>>15591101
The 856 has the tech you would like, relatable to Damasko, but the 556 is SS and thus more casual with more bling, for a daily wear, I also think the Damaskos are thinner in the same segment, the DS30 is ridiculously thin.
Damasko prices are hard to beat if you dont opt for the meme bracelet.
Between the DA36 and 556, you will have to listen to your heart...and benis.

I would love the 856 however can justify that much to myself atm. Maybe in a couple years time but I'm going back to school. Vwoild be my first big boy watch after orient/tisell

I like the Melbourne one. Been looking at it along with some others since I’d like to own a watch with an integrated bracelet.

Is buying vintage leather straps a good idea? Do they keep well or will they have crumbled to dust? Can i just hit them with some leather restorer?

>>15591194
>Will they actually extend the life of a leather strap for a meaningful amount of time?
yes, by a lot. some people dont like the bulk they add though

>actually good or are they shit?
depends on what you buy

>>15591265
Thanks anon

>>15591270
if you are buying one make sure to measure the clasp attaching end, not the watch end.
a 20mm strap will often taper down to 18mm (or whatever). So you want to buy that width.

>>15589759
Doesn't seem bad, not everything on there is shit.

Few feet and you are fine. The internals are highly magnetized though, there is a big magnetic ring on the back of a subwoofer. You can drag a screwdriver across it to magnetize it. Point being, try to keep a watch away from highly magnetized things otherwise you can fudge up the movement and start seeing stuff like that guy is with terrible time keeping.

Unless you do it for a living or have lots of disposable income, flying is a bit of a pipe dream. The cost of maintenance, training, fuel, renting or buying a plane are no joke.

Hey for you guys stuck with 19mm lugs there is a beautiful vintage omega seal skin strap up on eBay right nowm

Has anyone ever made a decent vibrating alarm watch with precision adjustment?

Ideally, something where you hit a button on the side, then turn the bezel to set the timer to within a minute.

I want something I can use to time anywhere from a minute to an hour as quickly as possible. Vibrating would be ideal, but an audio alarm would work.

>>15591627
Not bad, that's the third best nomos model.

>>15591564
I'd be a bit concerned about the zinc alloy case's potential to trigger metal allergy, other than that you get what you pay for and it's not terrible for $16.
Swiss made Calvin Kleins with stainless steel cases and hardened mineral crystals are available from $40 at jomashop et al if you're willing to spend more.

Should i cop?

>>15591645
that's a spectacularly hideous thing, how much is it going for?

>>15591648
About $250, some AliExpress special

>>15591627
>nice timex weekender

>>15591657
Why in the world would you spend more than 40 bucks on an Ali watch?
You KNOW it's going to be trash and you know there are some legit and fun shitters in that price range.

But seriously this one is vaguely interesting, it's got a seagull eta unitas clone movement and it's $110

Or get thr braun one, or get
Whatever you like from these guys
https://mondaine-usa.com/
Or get something from stowa or nomos if you actually have money to spend and want to get a serious watch

>>15591709
Is this how Steve Jobs wanted to force his employees to dress?

>the virgin minimalism vs the Chad Bauhaus

>>15591793
I thought bauhaus was minimalistic?

I fell down the stairs and my Seiko Monster bracelet kind of flew apart.
Should I just get the same bracelet or is there another bracelet/strap that looks good on it?

>>15591803
>wears a "monster"
>too retarded to use stairs
typical

>>15591803
The fuckhuge watch imbalanced you.

>>15591803
Get a fatty rubber diving strap, or get one of those fuckthick german made mesh bracelets by STAIB.

>>15591793
You don't know Bauhaus do you

>>15591803
Super Engineer bracelet looks cool on the Monster. The one from Strapcode is fairly popular and accepts fat spring bars. I really want one but I'm not sure if it's worth $94+ for the PVD version.

>>15591701
Not even a good meme answer.

>>15591867
I'm pretty sure you can get a Chinese version of this, most likely from the exact same factory, for $30 on Amazon and probably less on Ebay

>>15591867
Vollmer makes a decent 316L engineer as well.

>>15591883
Thanks for the tip! Actually just found a PVD one for $18 and the reviews seem decent enough.

>>15591916
Check the clasp before you buy.
Some have the milled clasp, some have stamped.

>>15591609
That's cool. Based good dad.

>>15591498
you can see by the curve of the band that the picture is not taken straight on.
yeah, the other guy posted a thorough diagram but I'm afraid you're too stupid to read and understand it.
please never reproduce.

I'm hearing a lot of people complaining about Omega's co-axial movement.
Is it actually bad, or is it another poorfag cope?

>>15591957
The only real complaint seems to be that it's hard to repair and expensive when you have to send it in for servicing.

>>15591627
the watch is great but the bracelet looks like it was bought at a D&D convention. the only man who can pull off that style is Robin Hood.

>>15591645
I don't think it works as a whole, no.

>>15591701
is this supposed to be a pic of why you dislike chronos?

r8 my shitter

>>15591627
why the fuck are you wearing that bracelet and that watch you look like a hipster druid

>>15591973
He's a Homos, what did you expect?

That dial hnnnnng

>>15591981
This watch would look perfect if not for the PRESAGE AUTOMATIC branding. Presages used to just have Automatic in italics at the bottom. That was fine.

>>15591957

Accurate, technologically advanced but can only be serviced by Omega specific certified watchmakers. Often it's just sent back to Omega by ADs.

>>15591953

Y'all are blind. Literally not aligned.

>>15591972
How much?

Is the "you cant handwind a 2824" a meme or a legit issue? Most of the mentions of it ive seen seem to be older posts. Is it a none issue in the 2824-2?

If it is an issue is it a part that can be replaced every 5 years at a service for not too great a cost?

>>15592000
You can buy it for £75 these days (better picture attached)

>>15592011
Doesn't look too bad for that price, really.
Prime lovable shitter range.

>>15591990
The branding is fine, it's the dinner plate size that kills it.

>>15592015
And infinitely better than the 'reissue' they did for its 25th anniversary - this thing is hideous

>>15592022
Jeebus dicc that date window is pukeworthy.

Jeez man.

>>15592027
>because I'm using it to tell time
>because I'm left handed
>because I have tiny wrists and it's 43mm up to the crown

>>15592002
Supposedly the 2804, handwind only is perfectly fine. I found the old post about it, too bad it's in german and the pics are gone:
https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/damasko-shake-dont-wind.438851/page-2
https://forum.watchtime.ch/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44277

>>15592032
None of those is a valid justification.

>>15592018
But it's 40mm

>>15592011
Not bad. I might invest in one myself.

>>15592035
Seiko dress watch line
40mm "dress watch"

>>15591981
Hadn't seen the green before, looks good.

>>15592038
You're not wrong, but I view the SARX line as more of a general purpose or do-all sort of line as opposed to pure dress. I'd honestly have preferred it being offered in 38 though.

>>15592024
The date window is a nice callback to those sixties watch numerals it just jars horrifically with everything else.

Turns out the MUDMAN has an unlimited stopwatch.

>>15591981
Textured dials are fucking cringe.
Nothing else gives off the "I jerk off to shemale porn" more than a textured dial on your soiko
Pathetic

how so?

>>15592077

>not appreciating an extremely SQUAT four

Disgusting

>>15592086
Textured dials are embracing mediocrity. The ideal dial should be perfectly smooth with a flawless surface. Matt dials are for the plebs that cant afford real HH, textured dials are imperfect by design, completely abandoning the quest for perfection in favor of low budget pop garbage, yes even the hand turned rose engine dials.

>Côtes de Genève movements are embracing mediocrity. The ideal novement should be perfectly smooth with a flawless surface. Côtes de Genève movements are for the plebs that cant afford real HH, decorated movements are imperfect by design, completely abandoning the quest for perfection in favor of low budget pop garbage, yes even the hand hand finished Geneva Seal movements.

>>15592095
Nothing you said makes sense.

>>15591709
It's from braun, the model search on their website.

>>15592106
Yes, that is exactly what the purpose of perlage and other declarations is.

kek, this reads like the essays that defend Hack Snyder capeshit on /tv/ without ever making sense.

>>15592140

peak smooth dial horology

Only in watchmaking could people be convinced that toolmarks are decoration. Does this cnc piece of aluminum have 'perlage' because they did a rough pass on the mill and didn't clean it up?

>>15592158
Nobody is discussing this

>>15592131
Fuck, finally a watch I would spend money on

>>15592163
See
>>15592106

>>15592158
You'd be surprised. People try to excuse half-assed manufacturing and toolmarks in the gun world all the time.
>it makes every piece unique
>think of it like a unique fingerprint to every one produced

>>15592034

Being left handed is tho.

>>15592182
It's either you're right or you're wrong.

>>15592182
No. I am righthanded and I used to wear my watch on the right as a kid, now I wear it on the left because that's where it0s supposed to be. It's just a matter of getting used to it, it has nothing to do with you being left or right handed.

>>15592184

I wear mechanicals on my left, but that quartz I haven't had to touch the crown on in months so no point

>>15592176

See Out of Order watches - absolutely haram

>>15592191
I kinda like them actually, i wouldn't buy one buy at least they are doing something vaguely interesting

---- late thread stall ----

What's the best Seiko 5?

>>15592210
how much do they cost?

New
>>15592221
>>15592221
>>15592221

>>15592220

They start at 169 Euros I think the one pictured goes up to 270

Apparently that one has sapphire crystal and a Swiss quartz which is a surprise to be honest. And it is a nice way of getting a hand-finished (even if in this context, that means hand-fucked-up) watch with a bit of individual character

>>15592210
is this the bioshock collab watch?

>>15592069
based MUDMAN

>>15590984
Finally decided on an Orient, it's pretty much what I had in mind. Everything that looked similar from other brands were exponentially more expensive.

Thanks anons!
