Is 36mm too small for 7" wrists?

Should I wear this?

These look more like clones of another Sinn though, this one:

https://www.swissarma.ch/sinn-144-st-s-jubilee-anniversary-limited-edition-watch-hands-on/

I was thinking of getting this black Vostok Amfibia to see if I even like that style of watch but it just looks so shitty and cheap.

>>15966790
https://youtu.be/SRwGcUuRPH8

>>15966786
How does this affect the repairability of said watch?

>>15966784
I would worry less about the diameter and more about the fact that it looks like a fucking soda can.

>>15966805
Any competent independent watchmaker should be able to service the modern Sinn or Damasko that have this feature, as well as the vintage movement that had it (the Lemania 5100). The Lemania 5100 also still has very good parts availability even though it's long discontinued now.

>>15966812
14mm is too thick? It's only 1mm thicker than a Sub.

i want it so fucking bad bros
should i just buy it

>>15966794
>complaining about a $200 watch
>comparing it to a $3000 one

it looks fine and sinn is overrated

>>15966832
No. It's useless. If you can't tell the time properly with a quick glance then you should only be buying it if you like the way it looks and have money to burn on it.

>>15966836
Sinn is 4.5k actually.

But yeah, I like the general idea of the Vostok, just the execution could be better. You know there's for example Edifice watches that cost $200 and they look like spaceships compared to that.

Fuck i didn't even notice that,
Never mind it's garbage

>>15966781

>>15966844
as a citizen fan, that’s actually sexy as shit. Exclusive to japan?
how are Milanese loop bracelets? I’ve heard that they’re only good on really expensive watches

>>15966864
What an archaic little world you live in!

>>15966867
Probably exclusive to asia, should be pretty easy to find on ebay or the usual import websites.
>how are Milanese loop bracelets?
They aren't terrible, not exciting either, looks like some versions of the watch will come on leather as well.

Confusing but OK.

You've ended up with quite a few modern Chronomasters. Why keep all those when you have the 100 and the aq4020-54y?

>>15966946
>thinking expensive = good
room temperature IQ

cheap watches can also be good watches,just because they are cheap doesnt make them any less of a watch

>>15966812
it's no sinn chrono, but if it was 1mm thinner i'd get it. I know that sounds retarded

>>15966952
Isn't the quartz model slightly thinner?

>>15966946
i never judged whether they are good or bad, i just put them in their proper bracket.

You are assuming that cost = quality when thats not the case half the time

>>15966917
everyone has their own taste. you should say "it would look better to me in silver", not "it would look better in silver" because thats your opinion.

>>15966900
*Kisses fingers*
Beautiful

>>15966899
>top 5 watches have the same dial
Now this is autism.

>>15966948
The only Chronomasters (as opposed to non-Chronomaster, The Citizen models) are the two A060s, the AQ4020 and the AQ4001. The 4001 dial texture is really quite nice, as is the AQ4020's, so I keep them both.

>>15966984
Thank you

>>15966979
I have a skx013 with an upgraded movement. I would choose this anyday over any orient diver. Not saying orients are bad. Just that Seiko makes (or made) superior diver watches

>>15966949
Wrong. Name a single cheap good mechanical watch. There is no watch worth buying below $5000. Coping poor faggot

Guys what are some cool looking quartz watches that look kind of serious but not dressy? Like a sturdy tool watch that can be worn every day and not just in fatigues.

>>15966979
>obsessing over disposable $300 trash
Seiko, Orient, and Citizen make toys for children. Can’t afford Rolex?

Why is someone who's only been looking in the past 6 months using information that's outdated by years? It's almost like it's just that stupid fucking shitposter again.

>>15966980
That looks better than real Datejusts

Does any brand make good leather straps that look like this? I’m tired of genuine leather garbage that feel like plastic

>>15967005
Same with the Orient Triton for that matter

>>15966949
>>15966959
I get that, but why are you saying one thing then contradicting yourself?

>>15967011
You’d have to pay me a lot of money to wear that puke colored Reddit dog

>There are few, if any, good watches between $1,000 and $3,000
I’ve said it before and hope I never have need to say it again: the vast majority of watches that fall in this price range are pure, unadulterated rubbish. Even the best of the lot put a polish on a $100 machine-made stock movement and drop it into a Chinese-made case and then, since the back was tightened by a Swiss housewife earning some part-time money, they put “Swiss Made” on the dial and mark it up 400%. If you just want something to tell time and match your last season’s Kenneth Cole shoes, go right ahead. But don’t have any illusion that you’re getting a fine watch.
> And finally, I will repeat what I have written in the past: There is no watch between $1,000 and $3,000 that is worth buying. Not one. In fact, it is a stretch to find more than a worthy handful under $7,000. I’m not sure why this comes as any surprise to readers, who continue to cry foul and sing the praises of inferior watches. My commitment to fine timepieces is well known, yet you continue to submit questions about $1,000 watches. As I said above, there are other websites you can visit and bloggers to read that will happily tell you what a fine watch you can get for a week’s pay. So don’t come here looking for the same drivel. You don’t see men’s fashion sites or magazines advising their readers to buy their suits from off-the-rack warehouses (or “wearhouses,” as the case may be). So if you seek advice about haute horlogerie, I am at your service. But for those who persist to beat the same drum of mediocrity, prepare to be ignored.

So is the miyota 9015 a rattly pice of shit or a half decent slim hi beat movement?
Ive been eying a few watches that use it but ive seen a few people say it sucks.
I know it has a unidirectional winding mechanism and the rotor spins freely in the other direction. How loud is it?
Does it have durability issues?
Do you own any watches thar have one?

>>15967029
The rotor noise is noticeable, but really not that loud. The watches I've had with 9015s in 'em all kept pretty great time (within just a few seconds per day).

>>15966906
Move GS down to mid range, Rolex anally annihilated muh nippon steel. It’ll always be a cope brand until they figure out how to make a decent looking sports watch

>>15966991
Wait, I mistakenly assumed that the watches on either side of that cal. 100 were older The Citizen models, but on second look, neither of them appear to have a second hand. What are they?

>>15967029
It's loud.
The movement is 4hz IIRC, not high beat. That was standard, it's just that now companies are mainline low beat for more power reserve.
It is a decent movement, not amazing but solid.

>>15966980
What's the little subdial for?

>>15967029
It's a sidegrade to an ETA 2824

>>15966782

Do they combine into a Megashitter

>>15967042
You said that Rolex/Omega are not high-end, that implies that high-end watches exist in your opinion. So why then do you insinuate in >>15966940 that expensive watches are no better than cheap shitters?
It feels like you haven't even established your own opinion on the subject, while putting on an internet toughguy act.

>>15966781
Go on then

>>15967049
You Seiko fanboys get more pathetic everyday. I don’t know why you would defend their bad designs for free, it’s hilarious. It looks like shit.

>>15967044
Ah yes, the original Seiko model the SKX's design language is based on was so clearly a Sub homage in 1975 when it was introduced...

>>15966904
9587-8000, the first modern GS when they relaunched the brand around '88.
>>15966913
I actually didn't. Or rather, the movement, dial and handset were in beautiful condition, but the case was kind of demolished from overzealous polishing. So I sent it off to the Lapinist in Poland for a year, he eventually got around to it, and did an absolutely insanely great job. It involved micro-welding new steel onto the case, followed by sallaz refinishing. There's one spot on the case at 6 o'clock where it looks slightly less than perfect, which is a testament to what a stellar job he did. If you ever have a beat up case on a Seiko, and the watch is otherwise a good deal, I highly recommend sending it to him. It's a bargain.
>>15966919
For real. I actually traded two away because I realized myself, "fuck me dead, I've collected the exact same watch again and again." So no more white dialed watches.
>>15966923
Wow, thanks. I'll get a better photo with the D850 soon when the Holy of Holies arrives.
>>15966930
Trust me, I'm aware. The Rolex is the most recent. Traded a SBGW253 for it. Also, while all the white dialed watches are similar, they're not quite identical. Snowflake has texture, 95GS is champagne sunburst, 62GS is silver sunburst, 45GS is matte... small differences. What can I say, I like the GS design language.
>>15966985
I just like hugs.

They have second hands, they're just thin. They are the first two men's The Citizen models (before they started using the Chronomaster label). A cal 0350 and a cal A610.

>>15967053
are you like.. dense? seriously

high end = Haute Horologie
its a real tier that exists regardless of how anyone feels

>So why then do you insinuate that expensive watches are no better than cheap shitters?
because the worth of a watch is not in its monetary cost or how many diamonds it has, and cheap shitters have their place in horology?

>>15967061
>So I sent it off to the Lapinist in Poland for a year
No shit, it looked dead stock to me. Guess if I ever find a decent deal on an old seiko I should keep him in mind to restore the case.

>>15967063
Ah, neat, and that also answers the question of why you have hung on to them even though you have the others.

>>15967057

>>15967078
Luxury watches are not for the poor. I don’t get why you people get so upset about this simple fact.

>>15967071
Aren't "Haute Horologie" expensive?
Why are you classing them higher than shitters now? I thought you said that there is no difference in quality regardless of price? Or did you forget about that part of your initial narrative?

>>15967090
People still cling to some commie ideal or whatever I don't even know where they got it from, about classless society, and can't accept they're the lower class and can't live like the people on TV.

>>15967061
What's the ballpark figure for what Lapinist charges to restore a case by the way? Judging by the pics on his insta I'm guessing it's at least a kilodollar.

>>15967029
I think my baltic uses it. Doesn't bother me I rarely notice it and thats only once I'm in my quiet house. Out and about I doubt you'd notice it

>>15967102
how good do you need the strap to be?
cheapestnato has calf leather for $15+
else look at haley roma or whatever, idk

just avoid buying their most cheapest ($9)

>>15967131
I think it depends on how badly damaged the case is? In any case, mine cost 280 euroshekels for the restoration, another 140 for servicing the movement, plus shipping. This was completed in December, he may raise rates every year, I'm not sure.

>>15967037
4hz is widely already considered classified as hi beat
standard (entry-mid seiko and eta) is 3hz

>>15967044
it's looks nothing like a sub, you retarded tranny

>>15967143
That's a very reasonable price. Hell the difference between a vintage watch with a beat up case & one in good condition is more than that.

>>15967134
Yeah the baltic aquascape uses it, i have seen people say it's more of an issue in thinner dressy style watches with less water resistance, divers have a decent amount of robustness and thickness to keep their water resistance and that helps to insulate any noise coming from the movement.

>>15967147
>doesnt understand the meaning of a homage

major design cues are all lifted from the rolex sub. Just because skx changed the rectangles at 3,6,9 to elongated ovals/daydate window doesn't mean its not a homage

>>15967155
No. The SKX's design language originates with the 1975 6159-7010 which looked nothing whatsoever like a submariner.

>>15967161
so why did they change it?
was it to align with the most popular diver?

i only own a hamilton khaki and a metal gshock.
is the aqua terra a good entry level luxury watch for a 6.5" wristlet?

>>15967148
Exactly! I had him in mind when I bought it, though I didn't know precisely how much it would be. The main thing is the long wait time, he's extremely booked.

>>15967174
What do you mean, change it? The design language used on the SKX originates from Seiko's line of shrouded divers, known as Tuna divers by nickname. Seiko still makes Tuna models, but also took the same design language from those models and applied it to entry level diver models such as the 6309 diver introduced in 1976 (pic related) and later by the 7002 diver which has a similar case shape to the SKX but square indices.

The modern SKX took the 7002's case and combined it with a dial based on the 6159 and 6309 divers.

this watch + this strap
thots?

>>15966755
Are you guys still hating on my Grand Seiko?

>>15967174
>>15967198
And here is the 7002 diver. So as I said, the SKX is not a submariner homage, it's based on long running Seiko diver design language.

what do i do

Was given this watch.

I don't know much about the company except they're not very well liked in most circles.

What do I do with it?

>>15967273
You can barely afford a G-Shock

>>15967228
The first tuna didn't have bars at 3, 6, and 9, the bars at 3, 6, and 9 on the 6309 and SKX are not rectangular.

By your standards the Omega Seamaster Professional is also a homage of the Submariner, despite looking nothing like it. In reality it generally became the standard for serious dive watches to use a unique index for 12, round indices to hold the most lume the easiest, and unique indices for 3, 6 and 9. That and a rotating bezel are not enough to make a watch a homage to the submariner in any sensible view.

>>15967277

>>15967273
How fast are you accumulating? If it took you a year or years to save up that $7k, I'd say don't do it. But if that's like 2 months savings, then maybe, yeah, do the 0% credit card.

>>15967277
It was free, wear it as a beater that you don’t care what happens to

>>15967277
By family, a friend, work? If it's someone you care about, keep it. If you don't care if they never see you wear it, and you don't care for it, hock it on ebay / reddit. It's pretty inoffensive, honestly, one of the nicer looking Shinolas I've seen.

>>15967273
Take out the biggest line of credit you can and buy a Patek. You’ll be glad you did, you’ll actually be saving money in the long run by avoiding some garbage $5k shitter.

>>15967292
This. You can always sell it down the line for a profit if you want. Pateks always go up in price, you’d actually be making money by doing this.

there are far more unique designs, some even with internal bezels so dont give shaky excuses

>>15967305
For example, just consider this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec, a clear Submariner homage from the company that actually invented the basic parameters of the dive watch. Oh wait.

except nobody cares who blancpain is

seiko clearly saw the success of the sub and wanted something "similar but not quite" to sell to normies

>>15967304
Hmm, I'd say save another 3mo and get it then. Going from 15k down to 10k it more acceptable riskwise than going from 7k to 2k. Gotta keep a cushion. Ignore the trolls. And don't forget to set aside money for the tax man when you cash out that crypto.

Rolex clearly cared when they created a watch to fulfil the same basic parameters as the Fifty Fathoms, down to the 3 6 9 indices, but by the late 1950s the unique 12 marker, large round indices, special 3, 6, 9 indices pattern had become a standard that crossed brands, as I already showed with the Fifty Fathoms mil-spec, and was not something unique to Rolex enough to make every diver that adheres to that standard a homage.

The case size and thickness are pretty decent imo. The bracelet might make it too heavy for some.

Hmm, should I go for a more dressy and understated colorway on a diver or one with a bit more pop of color? I feel the former is more adaptable but the latter has more everyday playability. Another weakness of color would be that it may be too eye catching and I'd get more comments about it than I'd like. I'm not buying both. They each give me the same positive impression otherwise.

But doing a knock off which is pretty much an anular calander + gmt watch forget about it.

Even though this watch is marketed for woman, I still dig its design. You guys think this will work well with a navy nato?

What is the "working mans submariner"

I mean I am aware that anyone can afford a sub if they wanted. But most people (99% of the non WIS wouldn't spend 10grand on a single watch.)

So something; you could go out and buy today, skirts the line between smart and casual, well built, Isn't a fad ( vintage reissue /bronze case etc) Less than 3k? Probably between 1-2 for most of the population.

you shame his memory by wearing the watch too low... it's not supposed to be on your wrist bone you zoomzoom fagette

>>15968192
i have a weird wrist bone and i think it looks awkward if i keep watches below (like in this pic) or on top of it, so i always keep them a bit loose and as close to my hand as possible
in the other pic the omega was after the wrist bone

Got one of my Vostok Cadet's back from servicing recently after Royal Mail lost it for 6 months. Very fucking convenient that it reappeared literally a week after the threat of making a lost parcel claim came into the picture, but fuck it, whatever. I'm just really glad to have it back considering it was the first watch my wife ever bought for me.

>>15968197
ok first off that wrist bone is not weird at all, maybe it is a little less prominent than normal but that's not a bad thing, at least it's not the opposite and you don't have a fucking spur coming out of there
second, when you wear the watch on the wrist bone, it makes you look like you don't know how to wear a watch, it's less comfortable, and it can make you look more childish like that shit is flopping around on your tiny wrist. just wear it normally, above the bone. most importantly, when you wear your watch like that, you increase the chances of it being exposed to shock and damage.
it's a nice watch so you should wear it the right way.

not for long. Soon the rappers and football players will find out about VC and their prices will explode

In all objectivity, the Overseas is by far the nicest design out of the three-four holy trinity sports watches.
The RO is edgy and gaudy, and the Nautilus looks like a 70s TV, conjuring up images of shitty wood veneer.

I'm not even going to dignify the fucking Aquanaut with a pointed teardown.

>>15968266

I can find the previous version for around 10k, even as a chrono while the current one costs over 20k for the base version and almost 30k for the chrono.
They will hit 50k in no time.

>better dial

>>15968252
I wouldn't say that watchfags automatically bad but it seems like whoever likes watches cares more about that aspect than the rest of the things they wear.

There's nothing "wrong" with the guy in the pic, it's just british tailoring.

>>15968285
> Hahaha no.
The Overseas bracelet has a quick release and expandable links which are both great features however when it comes to shear comfort whilst wearing the only bracelet better is the Nautlius. There's a reason Genta was known for his bracelet designs.

>>15968285
Forget out the Offshores or the iced-out shit you see on Instagram. The standard plain Royal Oak is not brash, edgy, or gaudy. It's a damn good looking watch if you see it in person.

>>15968284
The suaveness oozes off him in interviews as well.
He's a purebred Vallé de Joux local, and has been with VC for 30 years.
He also has just the right mix of Euro chic sensibilities and stylistic flair to lead a design department.

If only he pared down the overall VC catalog, and made the Overseas tool watch into a full product line.

>>15968296
>The standard plain Royal Oak is not brash, edgy, or gaudy.
When the standard Royal Oak was first revealed people were literally reeling from its tastelessness

>>15968295
>however when it comes to shear comfort whilst wearing
The RO bracelet is extremely wide near the watch head. It loses comfort points for sheer skin coverage alone on hot days.
And there isn't going to be any noticeable difference in comfort otherwise; the RO and Overseas bracelets have about the same link thickness and link widths.

> the only bracelet better is the Nautlius.
That's just because the Nautilus bracelet is ridiculously slim. Excessively so.

>>15968303
No they were reeling for the fact a steel watch was so much more expensive than the precious metal watches of the period not it looks.

>>15968234
>my favorite holy trinity sports watch design is also the most easily accessible
You have six months or less before waiting lists and restricted availability.

>>15968296
>The standard plain Royal Oak is not brash, edgy, or gaudy.
Oh but it is.
It is just brimming with hard, sheer edges.

The polished flanks of the bezel for instance are slanted at a ~45° angle, while the Overseas bezel has a much flatter slant.
Also compare the part where the case turns down towards the bracelet; on the RO it's a hard edge, but on the Overseas it's a gentle swoop.

>>15968312
I'm already on a waiting list for a black dial Overseas.
The boutique guy almost wouldn't even talk to me because he assumed I wanted the blue dial version.

>>15968281
I live in the UK and sent it to someone in another part of the country. Servicing cost me £35 (a bit under $50 USD for reference), but the guy is retired and does work for "beer money" as he puts it. I've currently got one other Vostok Cadet off getting serviced by another watchmaker in Scotland who is charging me £47 for a service (see pic related for the watch).

>>15968318
Haha, that's it, last year you could call around a bit and still find a blue dial in stock, if you are on a waiting list for a black than it's basically over.
Did you call more than one boutique? I would call several before settling for a waiting list.

>>15968315
And people say you don't have to be autistic to be into watches...

>>15968319
Based, great dials on those

>>15968322
The overall difference in edginess is extremely apparent even just in pics.

>>15968326
> brash, edgy, and gaudy
Is English not your native language? In that context it doesn't mean it has sharp edges.

>>15968329
The brashness and gaudiness are a direct consequence of the edginess.

>>15968318
Yikes, there goes another good brand.. how many patrimony do I have to buy before I get the honor of spending 40k on an overseas?

>>15968298
God damn that watch is so fucking sexy.

>>15968336
If this never gets put in production, I'm tempted to send in my Overseas for a circular brushing on the bezel just to get some of that same vibe.

>>15967580
It's Italian for based.

>>15968335
> spending 40k on an overseas
I can't see it happening. Overseas is only getting talk about due to availability. It's like the average girl you take home at the end of the night from the club for a pity fuck because all the more attractive ones were all taken.

>>15968345
>Overseas is only getting talk about due to availability. It's like the average girl you take home at the end of the night from the club for a pity fuck because all the more attractive ones were all taken.
You should actually look at some vids comparing RO and Nautilus to Overseas.
The comments are overwhelmingly about how the Overseas is the nicest out of them all.

Dude in pic makes a lot of good points, for instance.

>>15968345
If there is a waiting list for a watch the price will always increase, they run a business after all.

>>15968348
I can't argue the Overseas is technically a better watch. Everything he says there is true especially about the movement and water resistance.

I still prefer how the RO looks.

I find the steel sports watches from the big 3 extremely embarrassing. Some of the most significant watch manufacturers in history relying on 50 year old, garish designs to move product, mostly to noveau riche scum.

Don’t get me started on the Overseas autist in these threads who insists on writing 10 page essays over the merits of the watch despite not owning one. If this thread was less niche, I would be sure this guy was a bonafide Vacheron shill.

>>15968348

And I'm glad I absolutely find the Overseas to be the best-looking HH steel sports watch in existence.
