What are the best "everyman" watches for a cop or a firefighter that aren't digital and plastic?

Want to pick up something enamel in 2021, atelier wen or anordain? I prefer the aesthetics of the chink special, but Im scottish and want to support a glasgow business

>>15853561
Marathon GSAR?

>GS will NEVER make a non-retarded case size

>>15853564

>>15853564
There are also vintage watches with enamel, modern ones tend to be fairly highly priced, yet a Tisell will have one and cost 200.

>>15853561
Hamilton khaki

Repeating my question from the last thread.

Whats the best Nomos homage these days? Preferably an automatic. Other bauhaus style watches are ok too.

>>15853561
If you're not a fireman then pls commit suicide.

>>15853567
Isn't the snowflake 41mm?

>>15853557
The Daytona really did get increasingly ugly and bloated.

What the fuck is with the current indices anyway?
They're shapeless blobs.

>>15853557
If you got back further it gets even better.

>>15853564
If you care about Chinese autism then you shouldn't get a watch that has 卯 and 酉 on a seconds dial, those are hour names.

>>15853589
Still too big. The original RAF issued watches (right) were 32mm. Are you more gangster than the RAF? Didnt thnk so.

What would you recommend for someone's first automatic watch in the ballpark of $120?

>>15853624
41mm in 2021 is far from retarded though

The latest Sub is also that size and there are waitlists for that shit already

>>15853630
The waitlists are because it is a Rolex, not because of the case size, it could be 46mm and people would still want it.

Afternoon

Hello i am not big on watches or anything but now that i have some money i wanted to buy this exact kind of strap for my watch. I've literally never seen it irl or other movies its like they made this one just for this scene

>>15853561
Sinn EZM5

>>15853707
That's an old flex band.
This was widely used a while ago (I have a gold one from my grandpa's watch) and you can still find some new.

>>15853707
Speidel flex band
Be warned that they can pluck hair like a motherfucker, swarthy Italians and Turks should stay away

>>15853707
That kind of band pinches like a bitch.

>>15853707
Don't recommend if you have real man pilosity.

>>15853699

Thanks a lot! I checked a few sites and they are raelly affordable which is great. Pic related is my watch it's for every day use and i've been using it for about ten years now it's very simple not much to it but the current strap is getting really worn off and it doesnt look good and i've had this bug ever since i watched the movie to try this one
>>15853759
got some but not enough to be a problem

>>15853772
neat good luck

bros he’s JLCpilled

>>15853772
if you search the model or reference number the casio website or a seller's site will tell you the strap width if you don't have a metric ruler handy.
butch's watch is a vintage WW2 trench watch, can't remember the make but interestingly all the makers back then seem to all have used the same 3rd party dial.
I'm pretty sure you can find reproductions of the kangaroo online, too.

>>15853589
It's super thick, images don't capture it well but the modern GS watches are really thick compared to Rolex and Omega offerings.

>>15853867
If it aint 11mm, money I wont deliver.

"Suggest a watch for me."

>Your budget
Under $20,000
>Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Chronograph
>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Automatic
>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Column wheel and vertical clutch, stop seconds, 2 counters, 100-150m water resistance preferred, relatively clean dial design
>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Bracelet
>Wrist size or desired watch size
42mm or under, 14mm thick or under.

I know that the Daytona meets a lot of these criteria but I would prefer a 2-counter dial and something is a bit less known. The Speedmaster Racing is close to what I would like but it's too thick.

You can get a khaki field watch in quartz for around 330. Your argument is wrong and invalid

I want one with a swastika on it

>>15854387
Yep
I bought it just after it was discontinued secondhand for 540 with an original seiko bracelet and my mate was squawking about how much I overpaid for it at the time.
Idk what it is about the SARB017 but it's kinda an ugly duckling but it's got something going on that makes it work

>>15854387
Is it any different from the 'new' one?

Does this exist except in steel (black)? It's pretty much the perfect watch for me visually but fuck ceramic.

ugly watch

>>15854546
Zenith has made some sort of similar stuff in the past, but they use quite a bit of ceramic too. Black steel is hard to find. Worst case you could always get it done yourself though it’d be a pain in the ass.

>>15854554
It is, but I think the white dial on rubber has a weird charm. I’ve been looking at them for a while and thinking about buying one - but man I think the bezel shape is fucking ugly.

>>15854554
Confused as to why people spend the money to add this disgusting mess to their collections.

im going back into the military(non US) in a weeks time and i need a quartz beater with good WR

any random recommendations? i am a wristlet too

am thinking of the gshock 5600ar1 . I do like it, but prices for this are close to $200 now....

>>15854607
GWM5610, half the price and as far as I know it's the smallest G-Shock, so good for my puny wrists.

>>15854554
Confuses me how some people talk about it as a submariner alternative.
All other Seamasters are OK to great, but this one is the most known somehow.

>>15854455
The new shade of green is alright, but that X kills the design. Whoever greenlit this design deserves a kick in the butt.

>>15854607
US military issue replacing the Casio DW-5600 series (https://www.nsncenter.com/NSN/6645-01-356-5944)), extreme shock resistance and 20 atm WR, $72 RRP but can be found significantly cheaper, went for $35 during the black friday sale:

https://windycitywatchcollector.com/shop/wristwatch/marathon-watches/marathon-adanac-watch/
problem is it"s 48mm and you might have to punch an extra hole into the strap if you have a really small wrist

>>15854636
>somehow
james bund wore it

>>15854607
What's you budget? Non-solar non-sapphire Mudmasters can be had for 250-300€. It's big but who cares, you're not wearing it for modelling.

Otherwise if your budget is limited a GW-M5610 is the default option.
Or a baby G if you really want something smaller. Pic related is the BGD-560.

>>15854150
>shills shitters he receives for free, buys Rolex for his personal collection
Sounds like dozens of watch youtubers. Bonus points if they shit on Rolex in the process despite owning several.

>>15854639
I know, it makes even less sense to me that people will pay attention to whatever a fictional character is wearing or consuming. I know that it works, how it works, how effective it is... But damn, it stupid.

Nice argument you've got there

Utter newfag looking for a daily, not trying to spend a whole lot. I like the aesthetics of these, I've narrowed down to possibly these 5, or alternatively a SARV003. I'm a weeb so I do want the kanji day wheel, modding feels like too much to bother with at the moment if I were looking at one that doesn't have it already.

These are all around 200-300 excepting the alba in the bottom right, I included that only because it's already a bit scuffed and I wouldn't mind wearing it at work if it were to get a bit dinged up. Please dab on my/help me decide which is the best choice from these, I'm possibly retarded and just want to know if it's stupid to be getting into watches like this.
Ideally I'd only be buying a couple of nicer ones aside from the daily, but who knows at this point. I'm just looking at one for now.

I feel like a circular watch would look better than the blocky rectangle that is this 5610. Would a waveceptor look good or is it too small for this wrist? A circular gshock? None? My max budget is 150 usd and i prefer atomic sync

>>15854857

>>15854825
reddit shitters are an asset class worth diversifying into

>>15854877
too bad the blacked out and redded out models are practically unreadable
if you're smart you will get the yellow one which is functional and actually has some fucking style. or the grey one which looks great and was immediately discontinued so you know it's gonna climb

>No atomic solar stuff
NO

>>15854857
>i prefer atomic sync
>>15854882

Okay, go on amazon, search solar g-shock. You will find half a dozen obscure round models under $150. Pick the one you like and go for it

>>15854886
>but why..?
>wasnt it just released?
I think they are actually struggling to keep up with production.
They also realized that their biggest market was the watch equivalent to sneaker collectors so when the casioak became a huge hit they decided to keep the supply and the size of each release limited to make sure they keep selling out based on they hype.

>According to the G-Shock Japan website, the gray GA-2110ET-8AJF is no longer in production (i.e. discontinued). This is unexpected because it was just released in November, and it seemed to be one of the most popular variants of the “CasioOak” series. The website is also showing a “Limited Stock” advisory for the blue GA-2110ET-2AJF.

the fuck....?

>>15854924
It makes no sense. The only explanation is that it's so popular they're just unable to meet demand so they're going to say it's discontinued and re-release it down the line. Either way it's already disappearing from sellers.

>4608x3456 of digital noise
66% :( wet

Being interested in watches and their corresponding "lifestyle" advertising, along with shit like Instagram has given me FOMO and an identity crisis.

>>15855086
Top left is out completely, seller got back to me saying that it has arabic day wheel on it.

I've also got eyes on this one, for $425. It's nearly the same as the other 1970 LM in the bottom right of the first pic, but this one looks in better shape besides the small differences.

I guess I could always change out the strap if I felt too dressy. I'll be in scrubs so I would probably want a less nice looking strap if I'm not going out somewhere.

Alternatively I get a cheap piece of shit now as a daily and just buy a nice one later, but there's something very nice about these aesthetics in particular that makes me want one.

I like pretending that I’ll ever be able to get a nice watch

>>15855097
what do you have FOMO for anon? and what kinda watch and lifestyle would you like to larp as
>t. have an alpinist but hate the country

>>15854554
The previous reference is a lot better looking and is genuinely a beautiful watch. But for five years between 2012 and 2017 Omega stans couldn’t stop spamming how much they liked the wave dial. When Omega brought it back however their execution of the waves was legitimately ugly

>>15855098
Do you have someone lined up to service whatever you decide to get? Regardless of what the seller tells you about it being recently serviced it's a good idea to have any vintage pice you pick up looked over by an serviced if necessary. Make sure to keep that in mind when looking at prices.

>>15855121
That did occur to me, I'm sure I could find someone locally to service. I don't live in bumfuck nowhere and my state isn't exactly locked down like most US ones.
Aside from that, the very last one I posted seems to be pretty legit. His entire business is just selling old seikos.

>>15854853
I like this one. Seems like the one you could wear to the most places with the most outfits.

>>15855160
I'm legitimately stuck between those lordmatics and this one that I recently found. This strap and the practical look + not being vintage/worrying about servicing yet really has me leaning to this one, as much as I like the lordmatics.

I think so. Might be worth checking around on youtube to see how it looks on reviewers with similar wrist sizes but i would say 6.5 and up should be fine.

So if that watch is too chunky for your wrist which of the watches you chose aren't too chunky?

I've got a few old mechanical watches that need fixing. Two of them I'm pretty sure just need a once-over and a demagging, but I'm not sure if they're worth it because they're a pair of old Lucerne digitals like pic related. Is it worth the "wow" factor to start a conversation, or are they better kept as curios?

I also have an old Pobeda that I know is worthless, but it was a gift from my dad and I want to get it fixed. I dropped it years ago, and while it will wind up and run, the mainspring feels like it's either broken off or jumped out of place and no longer bottoms out. What's the probability this watch is salvageable?

> For under USD$150, you get a bluetooth-enabled step tracker and track timer with high contrast MIP LED, smartwatch capabilities, daily atomic clock sync (effectively +/-0spy), 200m water resistance, world time, chrono, alarms, and loads of other functions. Less than the tax on a Tudor.

Tell me about these high-contrast MIP LCDs, are there squares with it?

>>15855404
the lucernes are probably not worth it unless you want to. You can find such jumper watches for cheap on ebay. Not even digital, like actual mechanicals.

pobedas are simple watches and would be easy to fix by a good watchmaker.

>>15855435
I should clarify the Lucernes I have are actually mechanical watches, they just have the word "digital" written on the face to make them more confusing. I think I paid $15 for the watch, and I wouldn't mind parting with the $100 for a cleaning and lube job, but I don't know if it'll be "interesting" or "weird" to wear it.

>>15855424
You need to download Casio's botnet app on your phone and register an account to use half the features on that watch. If you don't care about that then sure, it's great.

>>15855450
That's pretty much why I'm asking if there are squares with the same display (hoped there would be one with nothing but atomic time).

>>15855403
Any of the lordmatics or the SARV003 are made for Jap wrists so their specs are about 36 mm - 42 mm, seems like the best choice might be that in the end

>>15855448
>but I don't know if it'll be "interesting" or "weird" to wear it.
hmmm..maybe
it depends on who you ask

maybe to a normie it would be slightly interesting
but personally there are certainly far funkier jump hours/disc watches
just my honest 2 cents

>>15854878
is this true?

should i start "investing in watches"?

it wouldn't cost much to buy some gshocks

>>15855469
Thank you for the advice. I get what you're saying, I think I'll bring one of the Lucernes to the watch guy tomorrow if he's open. Worst case scenario I get another conversation piece that gets me funny looks.

>>15855469
OooooO I like. Whats the reference number?

What leather care do uses do to your straps?

GS strap is £140..... and I hate it. Stamped pattern straps turn me. I'm going to get a Nomos shell cordovan brown strap for it, the esty cordovan straps all use calf backing.

there are a few colourways of these

there was also the Orient Masquerade which is dressier and like a tank style, the Orient Dual which is realllly funky, and the Orient Disc which is a more modern look with hands instead of numerals and super in stock now.

if you want meme steel watch, you probably want it for either:

Similar opinion. Most Watch channels are gay hipster or middle aged betas (see Bruce Williams, Paul Pluta, or The Time Teller) cosplaying and trying too hard to be men that they could never be. At least TGV doesnt take himself too serious.

>>15855515
It's a fairly high quality strap, the leather is very soft, stitching is perfect and would say they are using the finest calf leather. I just don't like croc straps and stamped croc less.

What's a cheaper gold watch that looks better than it's price?

I like the color gold but I'm poor so under $200 budget. Bonus if it's thin and doesn't feel awful wearing sleeves or suits.

I kinda like the new MM200 but the stainless bezel on the matte black dial kills it for me

>>15855576
if you want your pic related you can just get a basic 5600 for $60ish and then an aliexpress gold metal mod for $25 ish so thats still under $100

you can get the 36mm bambino (RA-AC0010S), the timex marlin handwind or the seiko5 snkl. all good sizes, smaller is classier and not so super gaudy

>>15854853
I wouldn't pay that much at least for the one on top right, the case has some signs of polishing and it's the 23 jewel version. I'd go with the LM special, the 52 series movement is slightly better than the 5606 in the other LMs and tends to last better.

>>15855098
Way too much for a LM, that's King Seiko money.

>>15855576
Don't buy gold-coloured stuff, it amplifies your destitution. Wear a cheap, respectable watch and people "in the know" will have a high opinion of you regardless that you are not wealthy. Think Timex, Vostok, Orient.

For me, it's the 1966 Orion

why do seiko fans suck off the brand so much?

>>15855909
>why do they get so extremely butthurt when you point out other brands are giving way more value than what seiko is offering now?
Does this actually happen? It seems pretty universally acknowledged that seiko is raising prices without stepping up quality and misaligned chapter rings and bezels are a constant complaint from everyone.

>>15855909
>when you point out other brands are giving way more value than what seiko is offering now?

Which brands? You'd be hard pressed to find something that is more value than Prospex or Presage.

Seiko's value for money is not as good as it used to though. Their current models are priced higher now.

>>15855913
You need a chrono.
Consider a Certina ds-2 from jomashop or some other grey market retailer. High accuracy temperature compensated quartz for less than $300. Decent looks, should be able to dress it up enough for work with a nice leather strap. Way better than all the similarly priced mechaquartz shitters.

have to say, not a fan of chronos but i have never owned one so maybe I have to try one out with a fun design. I agree with >>15855934 that I should add some color for fun summer days. Does a digital casio count as a chronograph? Maybe a golden one or a different colour. I'll be looking out for chronos that I like I think. Also >>15855934 , I know it's my decision in the end but it's always nice to get inspiration, I don't know all the options so it's helpful to ask for other opinions. >>15855931 oof nah, too much.

Any chance you could measure the bezel diameters? I'm worried they might be too big for me but I think the sizes online all include the little "ears"

The Cellini is much more refined than your suggestions. Pure class and a unique piece for Rolex.

>>15855970
God, who the fuck cares?

>>15855975
The... guy who asked the question? huh?

>>15855913
I'd say replace your Edifice by an Oceanus, as they are nicer everyday watches and why not invest the most on the piece you wear everyday.

Then with whatever left, something fun as the others have said. A Casio/G-shock or a Zelos would be nice.

>>15856003
It's the best in the sense that it has the best of both the quartz and mechanical worlds: accuracy and spring power rather than battery power.

Even if the mechanical parts wear down, the regulator will compensate for the lack of accuracy.
So provided you don't catastrophically break anything and keep the spring wound, you could use a spring drive watch for decades without ever having to open it up, like in SHTF.

>>15855777
Borealis

>>15856003
yes, but practically.

the spring drive is a true glide. It does not have a beat rate.

however the Zenith Defy Lab beats at 108,000bph (15 hz). It is more or less a true glide to the naked eye. This is 3 times what the GS hi-beat functions at. And it is accurate to 15 seconds a month, same as the spring drive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKQ28kVs4sE

>>15856030
Too bad Zenith Defy watches almost all look really stupid, more like concept watches than something you are meant to wear.

>>15856030
That's huge. What is the service interval for this one.

the constant wobbling from the oscillator also makes my eyes hurt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSMjUsHwDRA
it needs a solid dial
and also not that show piece styrofoam aluminum nonsense
>>15856039
not as soon as you'd think
>Unlike a conventional balance mechanism made of about 30 components, the new oscillator is a single, monolithic skeletal disc 0.5 mm thick. It's made of monocrystalline silicon coated with a layer of silicon oxide worked to tolerances finer than a human hair by Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE), which uses plasma make deep, precise etchings.

>the geometry of the disc is broken up into a pattern of vanes and springs along with two tiny teeth that transfer forces back and forth between the oscillator and the rest of the movement. Three blades act as springs while shorter blades create the rotational force that turns the watch's gears. Meanwhile, another set of blades dampens any vertical motion.

>The makers of the Defy Lab say that, unlike a balance, the oscillator needs no lubrication, balancing, or calibration and is insensitive to temperature gradients, gravity, and magnetic fields. It beats at 15 Hertz with an amplitude of +/- 6 degrees (opposed to a conventional movement's 300 degrees) providing an accuracy of within 0.3 seconds per day. For comparison, a chronometer certification requires an accuracy of 10 seconds per day.
>This frequency is so fast that the watch has a permanent-running seconds hand and, despite the high frequency, the movement has a 60-hour power reserve and it remains accurate even with 95 percent of the mainspring expended. In addition, the Defy Lab has chronometer certification by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, meets the ISO-3159 thermal standards, and ISO-764 magnetic criteria to 1,100 Gauss.

>>15856059
Yes, 90% of skeleton dials look ugly anyway. The Zenith Defy is really impressive but they need to put it in a watch that looks good. People meme on Grand Seiko for the massive proportions but the watches themselves are beautiful while Zenith is slapping this insane movement in mall shitter tier designs.

you've got a good tool-styled watch that you can beat up a little, and a cool dress watch. your bases are well covered already. so if you want another "cheap shitter", it should be an unusual accent piece. something fun and colorful. a sport or dive watch could also work, but still I feel it should stand out more.
