>Lemania Tg 195. Order by the Swedish military in the 1950s, this Lemania is a very special watch. The watch was never sold commercially

Just got my new Borealis tropic strap. It feels fantastic, soft and flexible without feeling sticky.
Now i just have to wait for some spring bar tweezers to come in so i can get the bracelet off. It's fit too snugly to get off with a regular spring bar tool, or I'm just to stupid to do it.
From what i have read back in the day if you bought a sub and didn't get it on the bracelet it would come on one of these.

>>15844854
Bruh that sm looks wicked, how does it feel?
Nice strap pickup too

today i will remind them

>>15844872
You just ruined a movement, good job.

damn now that the speedmaster keeps decent time now I actually want to get one

Guess the watch

Citizen NY0040?

Timex mk1 is a pretty cool military watch. Don't know if it's good.

watch newfag here, just copped this today. What kind of strap would work well?

>>15844908
If you can't stand +/-2 minutes/week don't use mechanicals

>>15844908
quartz shitters are generally more interesting at cheaper price points imo. I’ve had a few cheap mechanicals and they don’t do too much for me either but I still have a couple. Maybe try to find one you really find interesting, your generic shitter is unlikely to hold your attention very long.

>>15844908
regulate it

>>15844908
Wear quartz usually, then during weekeds or special days/moments, wear mechanical,that's what I do.

>>15844920
Have you never heard of Vostok or are you just trolling?

>>15844929
I know next to nothing about watches so this may be a stupid question, but what kinds of things do you find "interesting" about certain watches? Is it something like the design, internal or external, or certain complications that it has?

>>15844931
Nice looking watch. Would prefer if the 12 o'clock marker was fatter.

>>15844909
Na, it's quartz, but the case seems really close

>>15844910
simple elegant, not too hard on the wallet, absolutely chuffed

No
The no date however is sexy as hell

>>15844941
It honestly depends on your level of autism. There is a certain level you need to like mechanicals otherwise you just get the retard spam asking why people buy a watch more than 500 dollars. With mechanicals I like the autism it must have taken to figure out the math and machining it took to make such small parts in the early days bc I consider myself stupid and could never figure that out. With quartz I like how companies take more chances with designs and technology even though some are piss ugly. Watches are fucking stupid and a waste of time but there’s still something about them that makes them fun, like women or men or women with penises, whatever you like.

>>15844941
whatever will make /wt/ seethe

Nice minute and second hands that go all the way out to the chapter ring, so rare.

>>15844949
How's it wear?

My watch is running about 7-8 seconds slow and I have a six-hour Teams conference tomorrow where I won’t have to turn on my camera, so it’s time to have my first ever go at regulating..

Pretty sure the only thing I’m lacking that could be of use is a loupe.

>>15844996
Good, even for my wristlet self

>>15844854
hell yeah, someone finally bought one.
hows the accuracy on it? if it didn't have a ceramic bezel I'd buy one in a heartbeat

>>15844956
For me it would be the in-house movement no date version with the U-boat steel bracelet.

>>15845020
Good buy anon, looks awesome

>>15845020
Version 1 or 2?
And how is the bezel?

>>15845023
>hows the accuracy on it?
It's -10 to -15 per day, not as good as I would like but within spec
>>15845043
>Version 1 or 2?
Second batch, the one that came with the fix for the bracelet micro adjust.
>And how is the bezel?
It's a little bit tight but very solid with no backplay. Mine doesn't quite line up at 12, it's maybe half a click off which seems more common with this model vs other san martin models.

Can I get a rate? Just starting my collection.

Remind yourself that no one outside of select Omega AD’s can service co-axial movements.

Standard fees for Omega servicing was $750 last time I checked, which was a few years ago.

>>15845023
Why wouldn't you want a ceramic bezel

>>15845050
Don't know how long you've had it, but would you recommend it?

>>15845054
>shinola
oh no no no

>>15845057
660eur=817 dollars, it says on the web, 550 for 3 hand mechanical watches.

>>15845063
I have had it for a week and a half or so. I think it's a good value for the money, it feels solid, the dial is very clean and so are the hands, no flaws visible at least with the naked eye.
I posted my complaints about it last time.
The rehaut is painted black, which looks fine in person and doesn't bother me when I'm wearing it. And i don't love the look of the bracelet, i wish it had female endlinks, but it's very comfortable and has a nice compact clasp.
Overall I'm quite happy with it.

>>15845067
whats wrong with shinola?

Damn, literally since I woke up today I like Rootbeer GMT Masters now. How did this happen and how do I cope with this? I'm not really in the market for a big Rolex.
There should really be a service where you rent watches for a month to see if you like them just like there's many ways to test drive or rent cars.

Gotcha, thanks for humoring me. I do quite like intricate mechanical sorts of objects so I think I'll go for a cheaper mechanical and see if it seems like the sort of thing that can effectively trigger my autism.

>>15845079
It's probably the best modern gmt master 2 and i hate two tone watches

>>15845080
damn why couldnt it be invicta

>>15845089
>measures 1/3 seconds
>ticks 6 times per second
They really couldn't make it tick 5 times per second and print 1/5 second markers? Or 4 at least? What the hell is this shit.

>>15845089
if you still cant hack the seconds its useless garbage

>>15845089
Too expensive, on that range, better gettin el primero.

>>15845089
>dot over 90

>>15845101
but what about speedy tuesday

>>15845077
generic amerishart h8. Timex makes a watch where all the parts but the movement are actually made in the US, which is a very traditional form of American watchmaking going back to Elgin, and it gets shit on too. Assuming you didn’t pay sticker price, they’re fine and tend to have good designs.

is date window hate, autism?

>>15845096
You could just use whether the seconds hand lines up with a marker or is in between two to see which 1/6th of a second it's on. If you want 5 beats per second on a speedy then you'll have to cough up the cash for a 321 model.

>>15845085
I know but still, ever since they went to ceramic bezels the two tone bezels (Pepsi especially) don't look very good in person. The colors look a bit weird and the transition at 3 and 9 o clock is a bit mushy. I'll keep saving up for a Royal Oak instead I think.

>>15845079
Root beers have always been the coolest models

>>15845079

>>15845124

what sort of watches do you think you'd like?

>>15845131
>ever since they went to ceramic bezels the two tone bezels (Pepsi especially) don't look very good in person. The colors look a bit weird and the transition at 3 and 9 o clock is a bit mushy.
Yes, rolex two tone ceramic bezels mostly look like ass. Hilariously the chinks have managed to get better colors, though the transitions are still lacking and who knows how well they will hold up over time.
Pic related is a customer photo from the san martin gmt master homage.

if rolex is so shit why do people pay so much for them?

>>15845212
they arent shit. I used to be anti rolex until I realized they make some literally perfect watches

>>15845212
Literally the only watch brand besides g-shock that people not into watches know.
Patek? AP? What the fuck are those?

>>15845219
You're retarded, their ceramic is shit, their design is completely stagnant, and their cases just become more and more engorged and hideous

>>15845206
Looks great, is it really ceramic? I had an old Tom Selleck Pepsi that still had the simple GMT hand that's simply slaved to the 12h hand which looked better than any modern one. Sold it to my father for a small price to get something else I desired.
Simple all black bezel is great though.

>>15845089
Hang on, is the Speedy Professional also coaxial now? Fuck me. I'll have to get the cal 321 after all.

>>15845077
wildly overpriced for what you are getting

>>15845225
seems based rather than doing embarrassing shit like Hodinkee tribute watches

>>15845230
Yeah it's really ceramic, there are a few reviews on youtube.
It has other issues, like costing nearly $500 and still having a unidirectional bezel. But apparently it has a legit gmt movement and the gmt hand jumps to each hour and can be set independently.

>>15845236
>and still having a unidirectional bezel.
How hard would it be to source the click spring to make it bidirectional yourself? Seems worth it if this is the only issue.

>>15845240
No idea, i think the bezel itself also has to be different on the surface that interacts with the click spring but I'm really not sure.

>>15845240
A friend of mine has the otherwise pretty good Steinhart GMT and it's also a simple dive watch ratched. Spoiled the whole watch for me which would otherwise be a proper bargain.

>>15844801
Beautiful Roger Dubuis...I only just discovered their watches.

>>15844854
Fun; I still need to decide what straps to go with the two new-to-me Omegas.

>>15844876
Why? Why not just buy secondary market?

>>15844894
The Cal. 321 has a window of about 16 seconds, and the Cal. 861 and 1861 is about 12 seconds. If you have a trusted watchmaker they can adjust it into a reasonable +/- if they know your habits of wear. Or you could do what I do and just reset the minute every week. It's really not a problem given that it's a manual-wind watch Anon, and lots of owners rotate it out with other watches, so resetting and winding are just normal procedure.

>>15844901
F.P Journe?

>>15844908
No, it's just not a great mechanical watch or the movement wasn't regulated for your wear.

>>15844910
Timex is generally fine....what have you got to lose if you like the design lines?

>>15844913
I'd go Black or maybe Fluorescent Green.

>>15844941
Outer and Inner. Outer - aesthetic feel and visual design, execution of finishing, legibility, and refinement. Inner - accurate performance over time, finishing of components, and reliability.

>>15844956
Fun!

>>15845020
Looks just fine!

>>15845054
Diverse collection is diverse. The only thing missing is a dinner/dress watch. Try Citizen...they're affordable and make nice designs.

>>15845057
>>15845070
Remember too that Omega no longer sells their replacement parts to independent watchmakers, so the industry of watchmaking outside of ADs is disappearing anyway. Expect to only get watches serviced by the brands. It's part of the cost, and you can't really avoid it today.

>>15845079
They have those services. Look them up on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wppR-7eXF8

>>15845089
Has it been confirmed or is it still rumour? All I know is that they'll have to get NASA to certify it, or it won't be used in EVA.

>>15844854
I might pick up one of those straps for my SNA411 now. Looks good.

>>15845098
If it uses the Cal. 3861, then it hacks.

>>15845206
Remember that getting ceramic to fire in red is ludicrously difficult, yet Rolex managed to get it done.

>>15845230
Yes, the 3861 is the 861 with a co-axial escapement and a few other features. METAS certified, hacking, etc. Probably thicker too, but only marginally so.

Any other all black dial st1901 watches that aren't the F.O.D.? Looking for anything without Chinese stars or fake euro names.

Yeah it's more expensive but silicone attracts dust and lint and gets nasty, you will have to wash it all the time.
A cheaper option that would look good is one of these floro rubber waffle straps from aliexpress.

Thank you for the recommendations all look veey good, what about this one?

>>15845602
It's called a datejust for a reason dumbass

>>15845020
that looks like a rolex

>>15845611
looks like an OEM aliexpress leather strap
anything only stamped "genuine leather" is actually the lowest quality for leather
its ok and usable but you have to be aware
never pay more than ~$10 for such a thing
if possible get slightly better, avoid too cheap leather straps
it'd likely be very thick and feel like a bdsm cuff and you'd hate yourself
seriously, thickness for leather is everything

>>15845579

they are nice straps but i am not a fan of the quick release system. i once had to cut through the spring bars because the little lever locked up and i could not get the strap off.

>>15845058
cause it's a vintagestyle watch, from the lume to the rivet bracelet etc.
Seems a bit anachronistic

>>15845613
>that looks like a rolex
That's the idea. It's styled after the old 6205 submariner (sort of)

>>15845579
Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra for a Bonetto Cinturini strap. They make rubber OEM straps for lots of brands. Good quality and they have loads of sizes and designs.

Zenith el primero or Reverso next?

Any other recommendations? No date if possible (I'm waiting on Rolex Sub).

>>15845824
Reverso. You already got a chrono

>>15845824
Sell the sneedy for a comfortable markup and buy both

>>15845824
Reverso would be something completely different from what you have so i'd add that

>>15845824
Yeah my recommendation is you take a chill pill. It is not normal to be constantly buying and selling as many watches as you are. You already realized you made a mistake with the shitters, it is only a matter of time until you make a much more expensive one if you keep buying a watch a month.

You don’t need to curate a perfectly rounded collection in one year. Taste changes too much.

>>15845824
Is that your wrist in the pictures? If so that reverso looks pretty huge on you m80.

>>15845849
Are you the anon who posted the bb41 before? It looks bigger on your arm do you habe muscular dystrophy or is it a bad photo.

>>15845849
Hey are you the Tudor lumed up guy that reddit made into a meme

>>15845858
I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on 4chan who owns one and regularly posts it. I think the flash makes it look bigger. This watch is really hard to photograph, it comes across different due to the polished bezel imo.

>>15845861
yeah

>>15845862
How goes that gasket thingo next to the crown look IRL?

>>15845866
I like how the crown tube thing is black, matches the dial and breaks up the metal look a little bit. So i was a fan of it from the start but a lot of people hate it. It's just some matte black material.

>>15845862
It does look a lot better there to be fair. Its a nice watch, i just dobt know why you didn't go for the blue 36. The blue dial is a stunner

>>15845874
I wasn't fond of the blue. Actually, i can't stand the blue dial version. I really dislike it for some reason. The black dial is classic and it really is captivating in person. It's so black it actually looks like a digital screen or something lol.

I didn't have chance to try on a 36, maybe I would have liked it better, but i think i wouldve found it slightly small, and this one leans toward big but id rather that.

>>15845314

>>15845882
>I wasn't fond of the blue. Actually, i can't stand the blue dial version. I really dislike it for some reason
I'm sorry for your lack of taste anon...

>didn't have chance to try on a 36
It looks better in your later photos it seems to drastically change size every time you photograph it. I was lusting after the blue dial 36 for a while. I also like the blue bb58 but the riveted bracelet annoys me also I'm so clumsy i would like a sports watch/ daily wear to have crown guards. I know it doesn't fit the vintage thing tudor seem to habe latched onto it would be nice though

>>15845891
I've never hit this crown off anything yet.

Yeah it's weird, this watch is like an optical illusion or something. Even when I look at it on my wrist sometimes it's big, sometimes small.

The BB58 are awesome but kind of hard to get.

>>15845898
A combination of getting a very good offer of it, it looks weird on leather and that Rolex are a pack of dogs with their current antics

I don't regret it, but I probably shouldn't have gotten rid of it, it was a brilliant watch to wear, solid as a rock

>>15845897

>>15845842
I've been collecting about 7 years, so I've been around. I thought about the GS for a year before buying. I use to buy £300-400 watches, Seiko turtle.

My posts look sort of bad here as of late, this year I've sold 5 watches (most expensive being the Stowa, 3 x st19 watches and a laco) I thought the £1000 mark would be better and I could be happy at that price point, the GS made me have a rethink everything. My collection is in a funny stage, I don't mind trying cheap watches, I gave the whole ww1-2 watch design thing a try this year. Reverso and El Primero have been long term grails along with the speedy and sub. The GS is just beautiful, I'll keep it the rest of my life, like the speedy.

The Reverso I will be buying next year, I want to enjoy my 5 watches but the buying / thinking process starts now for me.

>>15845852
No it's not, I have tried it on last year in Korea, mid size it perfect on me.

Is this a good watch? Looking to up my game from a Ray 2. Does it keep time better? Should I save half the cost and get the quartz version?

Wonder why they are not more hyped, but at least it's kind of cool to not see it everywhere.

>>15845909
It's okay if you are confortable with its size. It won't impress anyone but it should fit any setting.

I'd get a quartz version to save on buying and maintenance costs. It's not as if the movement was very interesting.

>>15845909

Seems like they're only selling through their boutiques. I've not found any online store yet.

>>15846200
>You can’t really wear it in an office with a suit or even a shirt.

I think that a slimmer square G would look terrific with a dressy outfit.

But the Oceanus line is absolutely based indeed.

I believe the correct term is African American hands, you racist

>>15846230
Imagine not knowing how to read a watch

Handwound, not automatic.

>>15844876
God I hate watch culture so much.

The blogger shills, the artificial scarcity, the soulless bugmen who think it's some sort of identity totem, the unchecked consumerism of something that should only cost 10$ for functionality, all the noveux rich and ghetto rich thinking they can flex with it, retards speculating on price when it never appreciates or only appreciates for a 1000 bucks at most.

Hate. Hate. HATE.

>>15846215
NOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP LAUGHING AT MEEEEEEEEEE I REALLY AM SERIOUS I MEAN IT!

>>15846233
>>15846234
I want to intuitively see and read information. If I have to count some indices and waste my time and energy then the design is crap.

>>15846235
nice looking movement

>>15845518
Fuck. Parents wanted to get me a nice watch as a grad present and I was thinking of asking for a Speedy but the old one was already pushing what I thought was fair and this one's way out of the question.

>>15846241
Yeah I like it too, one of the better ones by Miyota I think.

>>15846153
What watches have you worn in the past Cecil I’m curious

>>15846244
Aqua Terra is better anyway

>>15846200
Oceanus is too "old fart", I wish there was something in between, a more tool/military-looking version of Oceanus/Citizen/Seiko with all the atomic shit and all the sensors and whatnot basically, that isn't toy-like in appearance like G-Shock.

>>15846248
Isn't the Seiko 4R35 just a better movement in general?

>>15846260
Check out the metal G-shocks. The material makes a lot of difference.

>>15846261
Only if you like +-30sec/day

>>15846265
That's just Seiko covering their ass. In reality they're more like +/- 5-10s

>>15846263
Yeah you throw it in the recycling bin and not in the garbage.

>>15846266
I just wanted to have a handwound in my little collection and experience how that is day to day, also I liked the look of the case back and the fact that the watch is thinner than its automatic counterpart. I know Vario makes the same watch with a Seiko automatic.

>>15846273
You don't have to justify it. It is a pretty movement.

Anyone know where you can buy these Beijing watches?

Is this citizen a good dress watch to wear to the office?

>>15846231
looks nice, I'm torn between this and the salmon dial

>>15846293
I don't like citizen because they are disposable watches. Most of their line is the eco-drive which cannot be repaired conventionally. So expect 6+ years of use then you have to throw it away.

Just get a cheap quartz if you are on a budget or an automatic.

>>15846293
Yes. They have some nice dress watch designs.

>>15846285
Online stores obviously

>>15846197
I'm a pretty causal dresser

>>15846303
How is it that GS can do double baton indexes so right and it looks so shit on Rolex's new OPs?

>>15846293
It's not really a dress watch.
It's a good everyday beater but it's more blue collar than something you'd wear to an office job.
That being said, you could always throw a decent leather strap on it and wear it anyway because most people don't notice your watch

>>15846240
It is easy to read, you're just being autistic.

>>15846305
Because they don't have lume and are faceted and polished. Rolex batons are just thick stripes of lume.

>>15846307
Not him but having only a third of the arabic numerals is pointless, it looks awful.

>>15846307
That honestly does look like shit I don't care how good Dubois is.

>>15846311
I think just the 12 and 6 numbers would have been a better design.

>>15846209
Primarily the movement, it's co-axial (less physical wear, longer service intervals), and METAS master chronometer certified (0/+5s a day, among other tests like shock, magnetism, and water resistance). Other than that, small design things. Pushers look different, different bracelet, fixed a small annoyance with the tachymeter bezel. All looking more similar to the original.

>>15846314
Did they fix the co-axial? I heard Omega's version of it has issues with lube

>>15846284

you can use a taobao agent if you are new at it, they will take care of it.

>>15845089
Honestly as an owner of the last version, I'm probably going to take advantage of the few people upset by the changes and sell mine to buy the new one. There are always a few willing to spend almost retail to avoid change.

>>15846307
cute watch

>>15846218
Tisell makes a 40mm with an enamel dial and blued hands. With or without date, brushed case.

>>15845897
Hbo

>>15846315
Yes they fixed it literally 15 years ago.

What are some brands other than Seiko that make interesting vintage quartz watches? Did Citizen have a good line of quartz watches in the 70s?

>>15846312
The current ones look nowhere near that one

>>15846334
Rolex made a quartz datejust back then too

>>15846316
>good-stuffs
It doesn't seem to be on here. Is it there?

>>15846311
It would be far better if all watches just looked like the same handful of basic designs repeated over and over again.

>>15845907
Personally I don't care for the dial design of the reverso you posted, have you considered a tribute model?

>>15846339
Just because it is different does not make it good

>>15846292
Lmao thanks

>>15846337
I’d love an Ousterquartz Bit it’s a bit out of my price range at >£4000

>>15846340
I like them but I like the classic Reverso dial too. I think the red / blue tribute dials are nice but hard to read and £3k more for a coloured dial errr. I would just get a duo face for the same money.

>>15846354
Sadly it’s not mine. I have to make do with my pretend Grand Seiko.

>>15846334
Crystrons are very similar but not as nice as the Seiko Penisquartz. They did do a Crystron 4 mega but they’re very expensive.

I will have to start wearing shirts more

Afternoon /wt/, keeping it simple today.

Just received this. Fucking love it. Good condition but a bit of discolouration on the dial.

>>15846380
Looking good, all working ok? Just remember that when you change the battery the chronograph can become "misaligned" where it doesn't reset to zero, just need to pull the broken out to the first stop (might be different for the 7a38) and press the pushers to move the hand round, each pusher works on a different subdial.

>>15845675
The classics would be
Tudor Black Bay 36 mm
Rolex Datejust 36 mm
Omega Seamaster 36.25 mm

>>15846392
Yea all hands are aligned perfectly. I like when you hold down the 4 o'clock pusher, three of the hands do a full sweep.
Also I can't seem to delink the bracelet... I can't seem to slide out the insides and don't want to damage it so I guess it'll be on leather for a little while.

>>15846392
In fact you have the same bracelet, by the looks of things. Do you slide out the inner links or pull out the mini links from the inside?

>>15846394
>Tudor Black Bay 36 mm
???

>>15846408
The rotor self-winding watch

>>15846413
Oh that one. Thought there was a diver. Why the fuck are they both called BB?

Is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600 worth it?

>>15846414
It's the Black Bay line. They also have chronographs under that name. Basically it means Tudor "throwback to old Tudors and Rolexes with some design differences"

>>15846346
>my watch has 12 knights on it, your argument is invalid

Did you buy the watch yet?

>>15846415
It's great value but I feel it has no character. I'd go Oris or vintage for that price.

>>15846406
I'm not sure that it is the same bracelet, mine has a hinged connection between each link and it's simply a case of sliding out a connecting pin to detach each link.

>>15846415
What do you mean by 'worth it'? Not great, not shit. They are the definitive you get what you pay for mechanical watch, and you don't pay a lot.

>>15846426
What exactly do you get when you pay for Rolex?

>>15846426
The finishing is as good as Rolex.

>>15846431
A crown logo that is recognized by normies.

>>15846435
I hope you're shitposting. CW have been plagued by bad build quality and quality control problems. They are basically a fashion watch that try to market themselves as high end because they use mechanical movements.

>>15846441
This is demonstrably untrue. Post your sources.
Every review you read/watch of Chris Ward watches says you're getting incredible quality for the price.

>>15846436
I honestly don't think most normies could tell you what a rolex crown was if it didn't have the name below it

>>15846346
Yes it’s King Arthur Sir Lancelot

Say you've been lusting after a luxury watch for a decade, and you suddenly won the lottery.

Do you:
1) just buy a watch outright

2) put the money to work and save up the passive income

?

>>15846472
Buy the watch, save the rest and don't spend any more money on any other shit. The only expensive watches I like are on the realistic attainable grail territory even for poorfags (5-6k), so it's not like I would spend all the money on an useless trinket.

>>15846472
Unless you win like 30k you can do both
If I won the lotto which is hundreds of millions of dollars I would probably buy a luxury watch as my first purchase... after investing

>>15846472
Do both..... 10 years of lasting, most serial killers break before then.

>>15846472
Depends on the lottery prize and what you call luxury watch, but I wouldn't get something worth more than a year of passive income, after all other priorities have been taken care of.

>>15846472
Make that money your bitch and get it working.

Does BPS actually mean anything with regards to the quality of the watch or accuracy?

Is there a watch wiki somewhere which could help me date watches?

>>15846472
Most of the watches I want are under 5k so there's no reason to think I couldn't do both, assuming that the lottery payout is a large enough amount

What do you guys think of a Seiko SNA411 on a tropic strap? Should I do it?

>>15846220
Hmm not bad, not bad.

>>15846223
>suburban incel fantasy

Not what it is about at all. It's LITERALLY me!

>>15846253
Vostoks, Casio, Seiko, TacX lol.. never anything $1000+ or the big boy brands.

>>15846475
>on the realistic attainable grail territory even for poorfags (5-6k)
fuck off piece of shit retard

>>15844854
sorry to do this to you anon but
Mogged.

>>15846489
Not that I know of, should be fairly easy to find out for popular brands though.

>>15845270
hey faggot, stop replying to every fucking post in the thread with the same shitty pics of your beat up shitmasters.
you do this constantly, what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>15846487

beats per second? the higher it is the more likely to achieve better accuracy. but it all depends on the watch maker putting in the effort to adjust and regulate it.

a stark example is the latest Seiko 8L high beat variant that they put on some re-issue limited edition watches. some people are saying they get +10 second per day accuracy, same as the 28k bph version, which is crazy for something that beats at 36k bph.

yet at the same time they sell other high beat watches which are known for extreme accuracy.

>I don't like citizen because they are disposable watches. Most of their line is the eco-drive which cannot be repaired conventionally.
Are you fucking retarded?
solar caps last for at least 10 years and are generally rated for 20 if you don't let them die too often. After that you replace them like you would with a normal battery
Jesus fucking christ the trogs in this thread sometimes.

>>15846233
based and unmoggable pilled

>>15846515
what?, a grail is the definitive watch (for you) that is hard to get,almost impossible. 5K-6K is something you can get if you save a bit for 4-5 years or if you do some sacrifice instead.Save just 100 per month and in 5 years you will have enough.I'm not saying a poorfag can purchase a 6k watch at any moment without any downside. Cut out some nice vacations, some expensive gifts, no eating out, no expensive clothes, no spending money on things you don't really need.

>>15846505
you don't even have that watch though

>>15846423
this should be posted in the shoe thread cuz he’s a damn flip floper

>>15846487
It just depends. High beat watches have the potential to be more accurate, but they also have the potential to be more subject to deviation based on positional differences if they are not correctly regulated. I don’t really get the appeal personally; even if the watch is slightly more accurate overall, it will typically require a more comprehensive service more often than a normal beat watch.

>>15846624
>but they also have the potential to be more subject to deviation based on positional differences if they are not correctly regulated
thats literally untrue.
why the fuck are you posting about things you don't understand

What an absolutely gorgeous watch. They may not be high horology but...

>>15846604
>5K-6K is something you can get if you save a bit for 4-5 years

Your still a watch guy. Check out a few other mechanical watches to see what you like. My first was a Seiko 5KX to use for work. Then I got a Orient Defender 2, movement is +15-30s per day and the fit/finish is not like a Seiko. Picked up a Heimdallr 6105 and then I finally had an idea of what I like. I wear my Orient everyday and it’s growing on me as a tool watch. If you can fondle watches in person and use them everyday you’ll figure out the right watch.

>>15846687
I like everything about the watch except the lack of accuracy, I doubt buy more mechanicals is the solution, honestly. But I don't want to pay for an expensive timer either to regulate it, so I might just shelf it for a while.

>>15846293
no, but citizen has plenty of dressy styles for the same price

>>15846659
Goddamn you seething poors are pathetic. Sort your life out.

>>15846659
Get out of here if you need money.

You won't get any by posting on a vietnamese knitting forum.

>>15846676
Expensive is not the same as overpriced. It's a watch that can be used every day but will barely depreciate in value while still looking good decades later. If you had money in your bank account doing nothing there are many worse things you could spend it on.

>>15846650
Really like the head, kind of hate the president bracelet compared to the jubilee, though.

>>15846706
No, Rolexs are most definitely overpriced

>>15846710
Grey market prices would seem to suggest otherwise given what people are willing to pay for them.

>>15845544
I went for an engineer's bracelet

>>15846720
You aren't proving they aren't overpriced

>>15846650
>>15846664
How much is that? $10-12k?

Honestly, for that price I'd save up a little more and get something with a hand-finished movement.

>>15846709
Having tried them both I can say that the President is patrician tier and the best choice.

>>15845411
how do you even tell the time on that thing

>>15846723
More like $7k new.

>>15846718

>>15846718

>>15846718

>>15846733
Lel, just looked it up, it's $37k for that exact model (day date 40mm, white gold, green dial).

I would definitely get something with a hand-finished movement at that price.

>>15846743
That's a 31mm datejust in steel which is ~$7k. No idea what model you are looking at. afaik they don't do a all white gold datejust, only day dates's.

>>15846751
It's the 40mm white gold day date.

It's from this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4WwQF6eyyY

See the video description:
• 06:00 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date 40 228239 (white gold, green dial) $43,950

>>15846751
That's a day-date (there is a weekday at 12 and it has a president bracelet) and they are significantly more expensive than a datejust.

>>15846218
timex easy reader?

>>15846231
nice one, m8

>>15846340
who makes this one?

>>15846346
novelty watches are almost universally dorky, but this one is so cool to me.
the round table is a copy of a period table that some people think is the real deal.

>>15846334
You can count on Citizen making pretty much anything Seiko made in very similar styles back in the day. There's just not that much good information available on vintage Citizen compared to Seiko.

>>15846555
Accuracy by itself is dependent on the quality of adjustment. High beatrate helps it maintain that accuracy in use (recovers better from all the tiny swings and shocks) but if it hasn't been adjusted well, it won't help much.

>>15846218
Tisell makes a very similiar watch, might be a bit above 200$
