/fa/ - Fashion

First for quartz chads

God damn the other thread is full of avatar fags.

Hi /fa/,

What's a good quality Swiss or Japanese watch for under $700USD ($1000 AUD).
My daily is a G-shock, and I own a Citizen Eco-drive I bought for a wedding last year.

I just turned 35 so I'd like something casual, neat, simple and beautiful.
Something I can wear with a my jeans and runners with the kids as well as out to dinner with the wife.

- I'd rather an automatic movement, but not against a quartz movement.
- Don't want a sports or chronograph watch, I'll never use it's functions.
- Something I can enjoy looking at every time I check the time.
- Quality and craftsmanship

I'd like an Omega or Rolex one day, but not today.

Clean looking GMT watch without external bezel around 1000 $ or less?

>>17603707
Baltic

>>17603710
I think Zelos just put one out. We're going to see more affordable GMTs coming out this year now that the new Miyota GMT movement is becoming more widespread.

>>17603718
>miyota 9075
>"""premium""" 9 series mioyta movement
>unidirectional winding
ugh

>>17603986
Don't get hung up on marketing terminology. They call instant coffee "premium" too. You can ignore it like everyone else does.
Here's one of the watches that anon was talking about.

It's like 600 bucks. 40mm, just 12.5mm thick with a true GMT movement (compare that to the 15mm chungus from Tooter), 300m WR, ceramic bezel insert, bracelet with microadjust.

Sure, the looks are...not to everyone's taste, but the specs are pretty impressive for the price.

(How many responses to this post will fixate exclusively on how they think the watch is ugly?)

>>17603707
Islander

>>17603707
Tissot PRX.

>>17603992
Not as great a looking as ISL-140 which is now on sale at about that price.

>>17604006
Yeah, but the Islander uses a caller GMT, not a true GMT movement.

What watch is Huge Jackedman wearing in Prisoners (2013)

How bad will this be for $129 compared to a Rolex?

>>17603707

>>17603710
There's supposed to be a new Islander GMT in june, it should be affordable. Certainly under $1000.

>>17604235
It honestly looks like an excellent watch. I wonder what the catch is, there's always a catch with Timex.

>>17604246
Love that one. Bit more than anon's budget, but I'd recommend it as well. You won't need any other watch if you already have a casio.

>>17604300
Oh fuck I read that as 7000

Are there any watches a woman could wear that would immediately make you more interested in her?

>>17604371
Why do women buy chronographs knowing full well they'll never use the extra complications?

If those things bother you

Now I have the watch I like, it's over, I won't buy any more watches.

>>17604378

Seems perfect honestly.

>>17604235
>>17604285
Timex quality is ultra shit. I mean, they sell "low budget" quarts watches so you can't expect a high end finish. But holy shit do they cut corners these days. Any alibaba watch will be beter than what Timex is bringing to the table this day and age.

>>17604393
You got a 1016? Very nice, anon. By all means, post some pics.

>>17604388
If they just put sapphire on it at least this could have been an excellent, functional budget watch to scratch the Rolex Daydate itch.

>>17604388
>>17604398
>>17604400
For about $100 more you can get a Bulova that's pretty close, no miniscule cyclops, probably much better finish. Still mineral crystal though.

>>17604405
Is it really that difficult for an automatic to do a full day wheel? This Tissot is the only other automatic I see that does this. Too bad it has a 6 o'clock date. And is a powermatic 80.

I fell for the Bambino meme.
The strap is as bad as everyone says.

Is there anything I can do to sort of condition it or wear it out a bit so it's not as stiff or is replacing it my only option?

>>17604431
Straps and bands are cheap, you can probably just buy some nicer ones online for not too much. Maybe even put a nice alligator leather strap on there? Eh? Real crocodile leather straps cost about as much as the watch, but still.

>>17604431
Nah, a cheap strap will always be a cheap strap.
You have a couple options, depending on how much you want to spend.
Places like Monstraps or DeLugs will make a custom strap for you using very fine calfskin. They'll be about 80-100 bucks, depending on the options you choose.
A place like Holbein's will sell you a Fluco Shell Cordovan strap for 50-70 bucks, and those are very nice.

Without telling you to consooom, I would be inclined to spend a little extra instead of trying to get the cheapest option. A great strap can make a watch look much classier, will last longer, and be more comfortable than a piece of shit.

Thoughts on IWC?

>>17604462

>>17604462
Laughably overpriced Baume & Mercier.

>>17604478
More like overpriced Laco.

>>17604480
It's Baume & Mercier because IWC literally uses Baume & Mercier movements. IWC's 32110 Caliber is quite literally just a Baumatic.

>>17604462
What's with the 4 leaf clover?

>>17604485
How do they get away with calling it their own movement?

>>17604492
>How do they get away with calling it their own movement?
Because it's not like there's a movement police who's ready to kick down the factory doors. "In-house" is not a legally-defined term.

There's certain terms you can't just put on a dial, like "Chronometer". ("Chronometer" means the movement has been certified as such by COSC.)
"Pilot" is another one. I think Zenith owns the rights to that.

No, they don't.

I would think you'd get into some kind of trouble with Seiko if you just bought a shitload of NH35 movements, put them in whatever cases and claimed you were using "the new in-house 5678 Gigachad movement."

Post your watch storage.

I have 4 watches now and I need inspiration on how to store them.

>>17604511
Yes, they do, they trademarked it in 1904.
Other watches can call their watches pilot watches, they can put variations on the term on their dials, like Oris with ProPilot; but only Zenith can put standalone Pilot on their dials.

>24 hours subdial
cringe

>>17604602
Has anyone ever done a mechanical watch with a settable 24 hour subdial that you can set to another time zone? That could actually be pretty bitchin. The only example of this I can think of with something like this are quartz ana-digi watches.

>>17604628
I'm pretty sure that there's been some GMT/Hometime complications like that, though probably from some obscure brand.

>What % of my annual salary should I spend?
95%

>>17604722
Just buy a Rolex.

>>17604235
A Rolex (sub) is what used to be a pro g-shock type of watch that got dolled up to be a $1000 watch, marked up to $8000 and sold for $15,000 and a sex act. Nothing wrong with the price or anything, the whole point is the price. It's a more more practical way to flash wealth without wearing a pound of gold around your neck.

Timex was never a good brand. Their old watches from before quartz were homages and fashion shit and all had crap movements that sucked when new and continually got worse from wear because apparently their parts are 100% metal-on-metal. Their modern quartz analogs are loud as fuck, all their non-hideous digitals are being scalped by zoomers and older gen A, and their mechanicals have chink or jap movements.

If all you care about is accuracy, a quartz will be off by a few seconds per month and a Rollie will typically be within a couple seconds per day.

Can you tell the difference between a top tier brand like Rolex or JLC on your wrist versus wearing a Casio or some Microbrand or some Chinese homage or whatever? Unironically, what is the difference? is it just what it looks like? Is it comfort? Is it weight?

>>17604777
>What is the difference?
>what it looks like? comfort? weight?
Check'd and yes. Absolutely.
High-end watches feel more solid, sturdier, heavier unless it's made with titanium or something, the polishing is better with cleaner edges, more uniform and going in the same direction, tolerates wear better, movement behaves more predictable, and of course movement itself is better finished.

Tell me anons...what do you know about Chestertons?

>>17604825
I have one. No, you can't see the whole of it.

>>17604835
Holy fuck...what the case back like on that? Heatsink?

>>17604841
You've not allow to know this, but it feels like the inside of an 18yo virgin's vagina.

>get dozens of complements when wearing my gold casio 168 over the course of 5 months

This hobby's a meme

>>17604858
>he wears for compliments
It's all so tiresome.

>>17604823
Even steel rolexes are heavier than the steel homages and reps? Why would that be when they're the same dimensions and materials?

>>17604861
I don't wear stuff for compliments but I do notice there are a lot of times people are more inclined to compliment weird shit than actual good shit. There was a time many years ago I was wearing a shitty cheap hematite ring as kind of a meme and a girl saw it and was like "WoOaOah, what a cool wedding ring!" that ring probably broke less than a week later. It kinda goes to show a lot of people really don't know or care what shit is worth as long as it's shiny.

>>17604865
>same dimensions and materials?
Rolex uses a different blend of steel, it's densier, wich means more heavier.

>>17604869
Also, slightly whiter.

>>17604869
How much heavier could it be?

>>17604873
Enough for people to tell, dude. Especially people to have handdle gens before.

Literally nobody who comes to 4chan has any real control of his/her life, and neither enjoys it or is happy.

>>17604926
There doesn't seem to be a meaningful difference in weight. Most of the heavier ones appear to have plastic and shit on them? Even with the lighter ones, could you really tell the difference between 2 or 3 grams?

It's like that so you can track 3 time zones more easily. One by the 24 hr markers, one is the native hands, and the last using the bezel

Hello /wt/, I'm quite of a newfag with watches and my dad just gave me this one and the chronograph hand seems to be a little bit to the left from the 12:00 point. Is this a feature or a bug? For reference the watch seems to be a Swiss Military SM34084

Doesn't really matter. Just wanting something durable that looks nice. Preferably a colored dial.

Either automatic or quartz

You'd have to be in pretty fucking bad shape to make the cut if that's your competition.

Do you guys sleep with your watches on?

Anons, how do you avoid fomo?
I have a Seiko that has served me well for many years but now I am making good money and I want to buy my first big boy watch. I keep changing my mind between Cartier, Omega, Tudor, Rolex, etc; from buying new or going vintage; from sporty to classy. I have been trying them on the wrist and all of them look great; finding hard to decide what to get.

>>17605776
Your first should be a Rolex, then you have nothing to prove anymore

>>17605776
You'll never regret buying a Rolex.

>>17605776
There doesn't seem to be any FOMO in your post. FOMO is "Fear of missing out." There's no FOMO in buying a watch, Rolex and Cartier are going to be there whenever you're ready. The only FOMO we have in watches is bullshit like limited editions where they only make 1000 of a watch in an actual good color and finish people want and you only have hours to order one. If you just want a datejust you're not going to miss out.

>>17605776
Don't listen to the nouveau riche Rolex plebs, get a Cartier Santos.

>>17605776
Regardless of what you think about the brand, Rolex will always be the benchmark to which everything else is compared. If you can afford one, get one, and expand your collection from there. If you end up not liking it you can pass it on to one of your offspring.

>>17605776
Wait until one permanently stands out from the others in your mind.

Recommend some watches for a wristlet, my seiko is 38.5mm case. I need something smaller. Budget is 400 dollars

>>17605795
Look for something vintage like a Longines Steyr. Modern man's watches usually aren't produced in 36mm.

>>17605796
>Modern man's watches usually aren't produced in 36mm.
That's just flat out bullshit and you're retarded if you believe this.

>>17605797

>>17605795
Did you photoshop this to get added to the wrist compilation?

>>17605800
Rolex OP, explorer, datejust, daydate, and every watch by every other company that makes homages of those. Literally name a popular company, even a chinese homage company like San Martin, they probably have at least one 36mm model. Farer has a 36mm GMT.

Get them either from HKED or from seagull themselves.

Except in the case of a pilot chronograph like a Navitimer where there are just too many openings in the case to help it, don't bother buying a watch with less than 100m water resistance. It's a sign of low build quality. There's absolutely no reason a simple field watch like that shouldn't be 100m or more water resistant.

What does /fa/ think of the PRX Powermatic?

>>17605641
Since you have big wrists, I would get a metal G-shock if you like the style. Some are really nice looking and will last a long time. If it's too sporty, then a casio Lineage

Vaer actually has a number of options for 36mm field-ish watches. You can get them in quartz or varying levels of automatic, they look decent quality and specs, there's an optional bracelet that looks decent with solid end links. I've seen them with 24 hour dials, 12 hour dials and explorer type 3-6-9 dials.

It depends on what you mean by "meme brand" I guess.

Are you the same guy that's been looking for 36mm watches here the last 3 days? What was your budget again? I don't remember. But the bottom line is there are plenty of options and you can go as high or low on the food chain as you want and find something. You can go to Rolex or swatch group, or you can go to San Martin. A lot of people thumb their nose at San Martin but the bottom line is they generally give you a lot of watch for the money.

Is there some particular dial style or complications you're looking for? What kind of activities are you planning to do while wearing this watch, are you going to be dressing up or doing desk work or hiking or hard manual labor? Traveling? Just want a fun piece of jewelry? Are there certain colors or metals or bezels or strap types you're looking for?

>local pawn shop has an oysterquartz on display, but the bracelet is steel and not two-tone
how likely of a fake is this?

>>17606288
Oh we think, we just don't reckon. You reckoned twice in one sentence, I'm just making sure nothing's wrong.

>>17606305
If you ask them they'll probably tell you if it's fake. Assuming they're any good.

>>17606305
There were plenty of 5 link oysterquartz bracelets that were steel. You should still verify that it isn't a franken or whatever anyway.

>>17606304
>>17606302
San Martin is so disappointing sometimes. Some people swear they like some of their Tudor homages better than the originals, but then they have stuff like their Datejust homages that have had absolutely FUBAR date windows and cyclopses for years. And they have to know it looks like shit because people talk shit about it all the time, but they won't change it. This watch could be pretty good looking if it just didn't have a date window that's too small under a magnifier that's way too strong.

>>17606304
I thik citizen did the same shtick, but a bit better.
Good morning, clock autismbros.

>>17606307
>>17606308
looks like the one you posted, but with a gold bezel. They also have a datejust on a black leather strap, didn't check if the dial said cellini.

Going Quartz was a smart move for your first watch

That dial is too pretty to be in that case.

>>17606432
Call me a cringe faggot all you want, but I like that Rolex has a history of making watches for mountaineers, divers, pilots, etc. Yes it's now used as a marketing gimmick but it gives their watches a little bit of soul and identity, and set them apart from fashion accessories.

>>17606439
You could say the same about Cartier, the Santos being the original pilot's watch.
