my advice is stop consuming SLOP and buy non shitters
atleast then you will have the modicum of increase respect in real life and a more solid watch, maybe

>>17816018
quartz is king

>>17816052
>>17816056

Pure practicality. They're not usually dirty, and when you put them on top of the PC case, the airflow will dry them in an hour. They're cheap aliexpress natos, so no harm done there. Excercising 5 times a week makes you sweat as well. When you criticize my watches, maybe post yours or suggest what would you buy within 700€ budget.

>>17816070
Literally nobody criticized your watches.

>>17816004
Left hand Seamaster is one to avoid for those curious. It looks great but it was the first time they used Cuck Axial and they fucked it up royally. Only the "D" iteration of the movement was solid where they lowered the beat rate. And finding one is pure chance if it doesn't have papers and even with papers there was overlap so you could end up with the shitter movement.

Stick to the classic Omega 1120 for the wave dial Semenman. It's a gorgeous in-house movement pre cuck axial.

>>17816004

Was unironically looking into the based Luftwaffe watch

I think i like mark 18 more than 20 somehow

>>17816087
>I think i like mark 18 more than 20 somehow
Careful with IWCs ever increasing case sizes and fucked up date window placement. It might drive you nuts if you care about attention to detail. Open up the 18 and look how the date is misaligned with the arabics surrounding it.

The 20 fixed that a little bit but it's still too far into the dial. IMO the XV and XVI are the last truly beautiful, symmetric and balanced Fliegers. I own the XVI of course so I'm biased. Having had several ETA2892 watches including Omega, I can say that IWC is the master of watchmaking below the holy trinity. What they do to their movements regarding precision and optimization, is unheard of. The fucker will not need servicing ever. It just keeps running.

The XII is amazing of course with the JLC but it's very expensive and rather small for a Flieger, so I avoided it.

thoughts?

>>17816092
It's small for a historical flieger but there's no legitimate reason a modern flieger you're going to wear with jeans and a t-shirt on the ground needs to be that gigantic.

Better value than the Seiko SPB149 reissue imho

>>17816014
If you want just blindly trust me, here are my list of approved squares:
>DW-5600
Endless variations. Great module and good price.
>GW-B5600
Great module but it doesn't have a standard model so you have to pick your favorite special edition with most of them being negative display.
>DW-5000 (DW-5035, DW-5040 etc.)
Basic module in a steel case, used for anniversary models.
>GMW-B5000
STN display but heavy steel.
>GMW-B5000 titanium
adds titanium and sapphire

Just get the one you can afford, every other square is inferior.

>>17816182
do people really buy these gaudy fake gold watches?

>>17816185
Citizen has a lot of cool ideas for watches but they have a habit of making them way bigger than they need to be with whack proportions and they make them ugly as shit.

For example, this watch is solar and only 3mm thick. That sounds really fucking awesome on paper, but look at it, it looks like an ugly fake dive watch you'd buy at a flea market. They want $3750 for this piece of shit.

>>17816197
This is the most tasteful and practical watch I can find on Citizen's entire site. Under 3mm thick, classic small seconds dress watch design, solar. $3k please.

>>17816199
I like these ones

>+/- 1 sec per year
i think this caliber 0100 is tits

>>17816014
get the original

>>17816123
the dial is horrible the rest is ok your opinion is garbage

>>17816212
How the fuck is 13.5mm thick for an integrated bracelet gmt "ok"?

>>17816144
It's still overpriced at $500 but every watch on the market is overpriced these days. At least its titanium. Looks great, weird that its a reissue of a sort of sub homage but whatever. Would probably buy.
If it has a 9000 series movement or solar quartz cop, if it has an 8000 series movement it can fuck right off

>>17816199
All the good citizen watches are JDM or SEA special releases.

>>17816211
The original is the 5000-1jf the 5610 is a different shape and a later design

>>17816224
Its a true traveler "real" GMT module 13.5 is a bit think but matches the style they were going for (i think its ugly and wouldn't touch it)

>>17816236
I'd pick any of the 12mm thick GMTs with usable 20mm lug width that cost $800 or less. Even if they're caller GMTs they'll be better more wearable watches.

>>17816163

>>17816197
Something is always off with their design.

>>17816315
Except for this one, this one looks good. Could be improved still (the indices), but looks good nevertheless.
>>17816206

>>17816206
Do these really live up to spec though?
The cal. A060 isn't as accurate as it seems on paper apparently. Meant to be 5spy diff, most that measure are getting 7-8. And this is whilst wearing the watch for the mandated 8hrs per day as stipulated in the manual. GS 9F seem to keep more consistent time regardless of whether or not it's worn.

This seems to be the low down on jap HAQ from what I've been reading:
>Citizen 'The Citizen' Chronomasters are more accurate on paper than Grand Seiko quartz, but results are not guaranteed
>GS is 10spy, which seems to be conservative: some that measure report 2/3spy
>Citizen's modules can never be regulated cept by Citizen, so if your watch is off-spec you can't do shit and have to send it in; they may do nothing ("it's in spec!")
>GS can be self-regulated, if you're game and actually know how
>means that in the far future, if you still give a shit/are still around, the GS quartz is more serviceable
>Citizens will be assigned to the scrap heap in 30 years unless citizen will still repair them at that time
This is some forward thinking shit here so it's not a realistic daily concern for most desu, but it's nice to know that the seikos will likely survive like the old Grand Quartz/King Quartz/Twin Quartz models of the 70's that are still ticking today and can be regulated to compensate for crystal drift; citizen's microchip driven eco-drives can't. If you're spending thousands, 7k+ for the ca.0100, then this may perhaps be of more concern for you.

>>17816324
cont'd
Contrariwise the Citizens offer more than Seiko's HAQ with a solar battery that you likely will never have to bother with for the lifetime of the watch (at least 25years if you keep it in the light).
Perpetual calendar. A date change that's on the second at midnight compared with Seiko's relatively sluggish mechanical date mechanism.
And the seconds hand on Citizens actually hit the mark. If buying GS quartz, better to buy in person so you can see whether you're lucky and your watch's seconds hand actually hits the marks.
Seiko's more traditional, clunkier mechanical based quartz may not have all the bells and whistles compared with Citizen's top of the line microchip magic, but they'll be around for the long haul to whatever end.
Finishing seems to be a wash between them.

>>17816022

>>17816386
This is a summary nig, of about 30 forum threads going back 15years.

G-Shock has more functions but this got a sapphire glass and a cool LED screen.

>>17816392
It's just the pic, it is aligned.

>>17816418
That watch looks fucking weird and everyone will think you're autistic for wearing it

>>17816418
You have to press a button to see the time
>b-but you can still see it faintl-
no. It's overpriced gimmicky shit. Either get a cheapo amitron if you want an LED pulsar type watch or get a g-shock.
The End.

>>17816328
>Seiko's relatively sluggish mechanical date mechanism
Isn't 9F known for insanely fast date change. It happens when it happens, it's not exactly at midnight like Citizen (which is motorized and slides over rather than clicks), but it's supposed to be literally 1/2000th of a second fast if Watchfinder is to be believed.

I really like this Presage GMT, but I'm not sure if it's worth paying nearly 700 eurobucks for it since its got a r4 movement. Orient or Citizen also don't have any mechanical GMT offerings.

Does anyone have this watch?

>>17816429
It changes, when it changes, fast because of the spring mechanism Seiko's been using on GS since the 60's. But the date changes 50s after midnight as opposed to precisely on the dot. In that regard it's "sluggish".

>>17816430
>Citizen also don't have any mechanical GMT offerings.
>>17816178
>>17816098
There's also some chink cheapies with the superior citizen GMT caliber out now or out soon.

>>17816428
it's not faint I've seen it in person and it's pretty clear

>>17816425
what's so weird about it? it's a simple design

>>17816390
Citizen also has a history with automatic watches and they own Miyota, so these are as much in house movement watches as anything else and they have 2 powerful brands standing behind them. You'd expect them to be at least decent. Especially for this kind of money. There are already microbrands using the 3rd party version of this movement in better watches than this for less money.

>>17816442
I've held it in person and its faintness annoyed me because it feels like it's perpetually low on battery. The extra step of a button press is the icing on the shit cake.

>>17816442
>What's so weird about it?
Other than it looks like a scifi b-movie prop? Nothing, I guess.

I literally can't stop farting, what watch can I wear to distract people from my flatulence?

Thinking about the Seiko Speedtimer SSC813P lately, I dont own a Chrono so I think id like something for my collection. Anyone got one? Overall opinions? Maybe some reasonable alternatives I could look into?

My Grandfather’s Hamilton just got passed onto me. I’m planning on taking it in to get serviced, but should I ask them to clean it or leave it as is? Especially for the watch face. I’m not sure what the standard is when it comes to preserving older watches.

>>17816606
>I dont own a Chrono so I think id like something for my collection.
That's the stupid way of buying watches. Buy a watch because you like it first and foremost, not to fill some imaginary gap in an ever changing imaginary collection.
Put this money aside and look for a watch that is twice as expensive but you really like in the meantime.

>>17816621
uhh but if you dont own an iced out superlaxative chronotrigger can you really call yourself a watch enthusiast

>>17816609
It's advisable to keep things the way they are if everything's "stable" ie not on the verge of crumbling away for whatever reason because finding someone that can do justice to a watch like this is most of the time impossible and you'll most often get some tard that'll butcher the job and leave things ruined.
A watch this old should show its age; getting some monkey to try to repaint a dial or whatever isn't anything I'd trust to just anyone.
So generally, NO. Just get the movement serviced, springs replaced if need be etc.

If this watch is of true sentimental value, send it to a proper vintage Hamilton specialist and not just your local mall watchmaker or whoever. They'll have all the right parts, maybe even a spare crystal that'll fit this exact model to replace that chipped one.
At least this way you can be satisfied that you did the best you could to get this thing working in proper condition.

>>17816609
Should ask them to throw it in the trash. What a hunk oh SHIT.

>>17816457
I guess if you consider James Bond a sci-fi B-movie sure

>>17816672
sci fi, yea a bit but I've never really considered them B-movies

>>17816288
I really like it and it's a hamilton with actually reasonable proportions, but anything over $450 is ridiculous. Unless it has 78 hour power reserve or something

>>17816230
>9000 series movement
yes, Citizen Caliber 9051 movement, but a rather anemic 42hr power reserve. i ordered it, $494 shipped.

>>17816693
Pre-Brosnan they really looked like budget films but at the same time it has to do with the era, they all look pretty cheap.

>>17816701
For the longest time, I've like the way Spirit of Liberty looked. But when I tried it on at the airport, it wore fucking huge.

Also, a friend bought a Khaki and kept running slow. Even after numerous warranty services, it still didn't work right, and he ended up returning it.
I think Hamiltons got an all-around negative experience around me.

I FUCK YOUR ASS ...the watch

I say this respectfully: You have two nice watches there that fit 98% of all your needs. Stick with those for the next 15 years. Save your money, buy a house/condo, and then buy whatever your true grail watch it.

The list you've assembled is, respectfully, a bunch of low/mid tier watches. I did the same. I spent 10+ years buying/selling/flipping mid-tier watches, microbrands, etc.

Now I own a rolex, a breitling, and a Sinn, and I never even touch any of my older watches. I wish I hadn't spend years buying Seikos, axios, boldrs, baltics, etc. and just saved and bought the watches I really wanted first instead of buying watches I didn't really want but that never truly scratched that itch for me.

Just my 2 cents. Also, Boldr is a dumb af name for a watch brand. Sounds like a zoomer hookup app like tinder or grindr.

>>17816079
Literally have no clue why anyone cares about co-axial or whatever. Unless you're getting some real Haute whorologie like ALS or VC or FP Journe or something, you should just stick with the most plain, work horse movement. Fancier movement is just more shit to break that can only be fixed by AD. Most people probably don't even know what co-axial means desu.

>>17816083
Meme watch. Redditors only like it because it was a product placement in their wife's boyfriend's favourite movie.

Also, almost all swatch group watches I pick up in stores have this weird cheap feeling to them. Like they just feel jangly and not solid. Wanted to maybe pick up a Hamilton Khaki Field as I need to travel to parts of africa soon for work and wanted something nogs might not notice or that I wont care if I lose. Felt ridiculously cheap. Same for all the mido, longines, hamilton, etc.

>>17816084
Held this in person yesterday. It really is sexy af in real life. It looks simple but the finishing is so well done. Should have left the date off tho.

>>17816123
Fancy dials will look like tacky wallpaper in a home in 20 years. Won't age well.

>>17816493
Writing the full name on the dial at 9 oclock looks so f'ng dumb. Shame because they redid the logo at it looks way better, but they still stupidly wrote that name there.

Totally ruins the watch for me and would never get until they change that.

>>17816621
Very true. I was always "filling gaps" in my collection. I felt I "needed" a GMT in my collection, then a chrono, then an alarm, day-date, altimeter, depth gauge, dress watch for formal events, etc, etc.

If you look hard enough, you'll alway find "gaps" you think you need to fill. Best just to get a couple watches you truly love. I travel a lot for work, recreationally scuba dive, etc. and a simple 3 hander is plenty for everything I need to do. Anything else is overkill.

>>17816731

It would be nice without date. I'm a no date watch guy. But on the XVI I rather like the date because it blends in perfectly so much so that you basically have to look for it to notice it. It's the best execution of date at 3 I've ever seen.

Lorus lumibrite sport
best option for you that hits all the marks
drilled lugs mean changing straps is easy
comes on a one-piece nato already that's good enough for beater purposes
36mm case fits your wrist
sublime luminescence means it's a beater for all hours and the 100m WR means it's for all occasions too
<$50

>>17817285
>Hamilton is the lowest form of SWISS MADE

What on Earth are you talking about? Does not Hamilton use ETA movements in their watches? Does not Tissot, which is another inexpensive Swiss brand, also use ETA movements---often the same exact calibre found in Hamilton? And higher level Swatch Group brands likewise use the same movements. Therefore, if you're mocking Hamilton, then you're implicating almost the entire Swatch Group!

>>17816886
Yes, that's a SNK805, Malay model.
>what about a SBPH003? the dial is nice and it has GMT for something extra
The GMT feature overcrowds the dial imho. I prefer a pseudo GMT approach, with hour markers printed on the bezel, so that you can ignore them when you look purely at the dial.
>as for the alpinist, im not really a fan of the sepia, and the nato on it doesnt do it justice either, what about SBDC147? looks good on a nato, the b racelet it comes with, or a leather strap
19 mm lugs are extremely inconvenient size, otherwise I'd agree the dial is nicer


>>17816954
True grail would be 38mm speedy boi, that's currently like 3 months of my salary, so not willing to spend that anytime soon. I was planning on returning the Citizen, as it is a recent purchase, and seems a bit too brutalistic, but the fella does +3s a day and has a great finish, so I don't really want to. Thanks for the thorough advice.

>>17816738
Brother there are good titanium divers on AliExpress now for like 150 bucks

>>17817300
That model is just the lighting but there are models with gold tinted displays like the DW-5600RB-2.
>>17817301
That is inspired by the modes with gold tinted displays but it uses a different display...
>>17817361
It's a metal perforated grill. They have used it on a couple models like the DW-5735D. They also have used silver and red ones.

>hamilton and tissot use ‘in house movements’

What are you laughing at?

Hamilton and Tissot are both part of the Swatch Group. And the Swatch Group owns ETA. Do you honestly think that Hamilton and Tissot are not going to use ETA, but source from a competitor? They indeed use ETA movements and sometimes alter them for particular watch models.

>>17817487

>It's a metal perforated grill
Does it do anything? Or is it just decoration?
I like gold tinted lcd displays. Gold tinted g-shocks, especially if you're looking for a negative display, are more legible imo. The nega-standard silvery/grey is much harder to see than the gold nega.
Is there any rhyme or reason or code number that signifies whether or not any particular g-shock has a gold display? Or do you just have to look at pics of each one in order to find out?

>>17817503
Didn't know that, just needed a quick reference link.

>>17817554
Don't know what you want it to do. It creates a sunburst effect when you move it. You can see it on the stock photo if it has a gold display. The color code for gold is a 9 at the end of the model number but that's only for the watch. Gold displays can be used in watches of any color and gold watches can have displays of different colors.

>>17816621

Can anyone recommend a good moonphase watch for my girlfriend? Around 36mm, something classy, under $3k, the father under the better.

>>17817809

>>17817825
Those are nice, yeah.

>>17817809
It's discontinued so you'd have to go used, but I stand by the Glycine Combat Moonphase 36. Very short lug to lug to good for tiny wrist. Comes in gold pvd, two tone with silver dial, and silver case blue dial. Got mine for $330. Only real issue is butterfly clasp with no microadjust, but women seem okay with loose watches. And buying used for a gift is tacky I guess.

>>17817838
>36mm

no thanks I don’t wear womens watches. Looks like shit too

The best part of requesting watch recommendations on behalf of your wife or girlfriend is that you can ask for a watch under 40mm and you'll actually get watch recommendations instead of retards calling you a faggot.

I'm a novice at buying used watches, but a good place to buy a good watch is the Japanese Mercari. You use either Buyee or Neokyo to get access to shipping that stuff. Japanese folks love the luxury designer brand. LX, Gucci, Rolex, unlisted limited edition stuff, they have everything you want for cheap and stellar quality. These inspectors are very comprehensive about the condition and must provide ample amounts of pictures. A used item on there would be a like new in the States. An acceptable would be a very good, and so on.

>>17817951
You can't fool us into buying chinese or japanese crap. Go have sex with a dog or something.

>>17817957
I mean it's your money. Use eBay if you're a sucker. 99% are made in China whereas Mercari comes from origin factories like France and Italy (I count Switzerland). There's an American Mercari, but their catalog is small and the quality is eBay level.

>>17817867
>automatic
>5ATM
>under 300$

looks like a good deal for a meme watch

>>17817951
I don't trust a man without vices.

what do you guys recon, at what price point the improvement of quality becomes so small that it cant be seen by naked eye? what is the cut off?

basically what im asking is, when it comes to feel on the wrist and look of the watch by naked eye, what is the cheapest one that will be indistinguishable than the one that costs 2 or 3x?
there is a big difference between 300 and 3000, but is there between a 15k rolex and 60k patek for example?

>>17818081
300 and 3000 is huge
15000 and 60000 is minimal unless you're getting a grand complication but even then it only affects function not quality

>>17817347
Also consider one of these anon. I was in the same boat recently and was tossing up between a similar seiko and this one.

>>17818092
I've been considering getting my wife her first automatic watch, all of her other jewelry is gold or at least gold tone but I don't know how she'd react to a gold tone watch. On one hand I'd think she'd be sad I got her fake gold jewelry as a gift, but on the other hand she's a practical lady so I feel like she'd appreciate me saving upwards of $10k on a gift that we both know most of the time she'd probably prefer to leave home in favor of her solar watch for most daily wear.

>>17818106
I've learned that with women, don't force them to be into watches. I agree with you that buying "fake" gold is a bit tacky but women don't seem to mind.

If you have the money to buy a real gold watch, consider buying something like the orient as a "tester" and just explain if she likes the look and feel, you could buy a real one in the future.

I did something similar recently where I bought a Seiko diver, wore it for a year, realised I liked it, then bought /picrel/

My SNK803's link pin fell out.
Should I replace it with a Citizen Eco Drive, get a different watch, or just replace the link holder

>>17818117
Any watch maker worth anything at all will be able to fix that for you in no time at all.

>>17817751
how long have you been waiting and what model? I just got put on the list last week for which ever comes first rolex op black dial or two tone dj

what watch is this ?

>>17818116
I'm not really trying to "force" her to be into watches. She's passingly interested in watches as she is with any other jewelry, but she prefers solar watches and ecodrive watches in particular because she likes the idea of not needing to fuck with batteries and or fiddling around with setting them every few days. So she doesn't have an interesting automatic watch and I thought it would be something different.

Funny enough, maybe something with spring drive is unironically the answer.

>>17818116
Did you have to wait long on the submariner? Was most of that year waitlist time?

>>17818124
I caved and bought from a pretty big second hand dealer in my area. I got a decent deal but obviously paid more than retail. I'm very inpatient.

>>17818122
Fair point, setting it every few days would surely deter her however if it was a nice watch made of precious metals it would sweeten the deal.

for the anons above looking at g-shocks, I have this Casio G-Shock Origin GW-5000U-1JF(JDM only model) and it's one of my favourite watches that I own. It's a shame it doesn't have the health/fitness features of an apple watch otherwise it would get more wrist time.

>>17818122
Thinking on it more a spring drive watch is also probably out of the question because I don't think they make a single spring drive watch under 40mm? It would be way too big for her wrist.

>>17818135
there is actually a g-shock with fitness functions but its not as good obviously

>>17818121
Looks like a sevenfriday to me.

>>17818187
Why is it so thick?

>>17818135
Health tracking is utterly useless for anything other than running. My buddies and I all weightlift in the gym 4-5 times a week and the Apple Watch will tell us we burn 1,500-2,000 calories which is complete bullshit.

Only Onions fags think using a smart watch is good for health tracking is worth it because their workouts aren’t intense enough.

>>17818203
I don't think it's much thicker than any other dive watch, but my wrists are very tiny so it doesn't help
