The Omega 2254.50 truly is a perfect diver. I can't understand why more people don't just buy the damn thing and avoid thick Tudors that are around the same price.

>>17849357
it looks bland to me. i feel like it lacks personality. it has the wavy background going for it I guess

for me Seiko tunas are the coolest dive watches (not my pic) for the unique case shape

>>17849371
Fair enough, as at least the Seiko has its own heritage and uniqueness.

I will disagree with you about the 'lacking personality' of the 2254.50. It has lots of personality:
1) it's the only milspec diver that has lyre lugs and a wavy dial.
2) the lume is far better than any other competitor.
3) the movement is proven (ETA 2892-A)
4) thinnest of all.

I still don't understand why more people don't own them...they're not that expensive compared with the normal diver options...

>>17849379
people want to buy new shiny stuff instead of navigating the secondary market

Hello phaggots I need some advice. I want one of the two following watches:
>Rolex explorer
>Vulcain cricket
but can't decide on which one to get. I kind of want to go with the cricket because it's more under the radar, but I feel like I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't get the explorer since I've been lusting over that watch for years and years. The idea is to have this watch as my only watch so I'm not going to buy both. Help meeeeeeee

Why do people get so worked up when a watch "only" has 50 m of water resistance? It's not like anyone goes diving so what's the point? Even 30 m should be plenty.

Is there any reason to still get the BB58 when pic related exists?

>>17849444
I am a critiquer of such watches, it's not only the wr, but also the unprotected pushers of the chrono, if you push these underwater you are even more fucked and so on
in short they get mogged by a 1dollar casio that has superior wr
it adds more paranoia to an expensive watch for no reason that already has a ton of them

>>17849357
I think Omega anon, you forget that divers like 2254.50 are not a wealth statement. Most people these days want to buy a Rolex diver to flex instead of a tool watch that actually will bring you joy and is a utility. Even Omega itself has other watches in their portfolio that most people would get over a 2254.50. I for example like it, maybe not my first choice for Omega diver, but certainly a worthy piece to add to a future collection.

does it come with the pen or must I buy my own

>>17849532
They came with one back in the day, probably a bit of a rarity now

>>17849432
The Explorer is underwhelming, you'll get bored of it quickly. The Cricket has soul. Just my opinion, i own neither.

the explorer is way overrated. stay away from reddit. the oyster perpetual is what you should get if you want a watch with a bracelet. if you want a strap then go with the vulcain

it's the second cheapest rolex. thats it. if you buy an OP people could think you just bought the cheapest rolex. if you get an explorer you can always larp as an >enthusiast.

>>17849563
thats gay the op looks 10x better

I ordered this strap from aliexpress the other day. Whats the name of this kind of clasp? Looks like a belt and its name was very generic, "vintage canvas breathable strap for rolex.." etc

>>17849357
It looks great but the crown pokes out from the side a bit too much. It would dig into the back of my hand more than I would like.

The strap looks like it was cut out of a used rag.

>>17849581
The watch itself looks great. There's a lot of thought put into its design. You have a pale skin so I suggest a darker strap, burgundy or brown

https://mrjoneswatches.com/collections/all-watches

which way and why?
i don't like the numbers look on the dial but im torn between the red and white second

I've been looking at fakes again. I noticed while browsing that I have no desire for a fake of a watch I actually respect, or where I don't have any beef with the owners. I don't see the appeal of a fake omega or cartier or PP. But I kinda want a fake rolex and a fake breitling because I hate both brands and I think the owners are ick. I wouldn't mind a fake IWC either but let's not be greedy

Of the three, breitling is the one I dislike the most because the watches are fugly and the owners are larping fools who are most likely to be ignorant about watches

It's down to a navitimer B01 or a superocean. The navitimer, oddly, is cheaper than the superocean despite being an automatic chronograph. Anyone have any theories of why? This would be from GF factory, I like the superocean's look more but I feel like if I'm going to go with a fake for vindictiveness purposes I should go with something fuglier

>>17849716
This would be perfect without the date

>>17849444
I think the feeling is that the numbers are inflated. 50m water resistance is good to a static test of just having the watch at 50m, not the dynamic nature of actually moving your arm around and having extra pressure on it, which at 50m might cause it to fail. Another angle is that seals fade over time and what was 50m at purchase might be less a few years later. I have no idea how valid this thinking is though.

>>17849700
>i think wearing it that would be nicer however the red second looks better when photographed
I've never seen their reds in person, I only own the white and yellow/green ones, but from the photos I've seen, Sinn's red paint seems plasticky and ugly. Get the H-Link, probably my favorite type of bracelet.

>>17849563
The explorer is absolute gash. I don't need numbers on my dial. OP is kino

>>17849583
good times, I had an ironman like that as a kid in the 90s and loved it. hate how the modern ones look all circular and gay

>>17849444
I think it’s people not understanding how water resistance is rated mixed with companies possibly lying about it, or at the very least doing extremely misleading testing. I trust that a Vostok or Seiko diver will survive a swim. But the 30m standard on a dress watch means it’s splash proof, not that it can survive actually being even one foot underwater. It’s very misleading. I would not swim in a watch with 50m water resistance even though in theory it should be totally fine. 100m is for whatever reason the gold standard for actually surviving a pool.

Business Idea: Start a butt fuck ugly watch brand, convince richfags it's worth hundreds of thousands per watch, make your watch out of toy parts and plastic, don't even make the majority of movements in house source them elsewhere, maximize your marketing

>>17849444
The ones who seem to get "worked up" are the ones who get angry over dive watches being worn by people who don't go diving, because they are under the erroneous impression that divers didn't move away from dive watches 50 years ago

Anyway the appeal of high WR is not for the first day you wear the watch and "might go diving" which is a strawman. It's for 5-10 years later when you were treating the watch like shit and not having it pressure tested or having the gaskets replaced, which is reality for most people

This argument reminds me of when people used to get upset over phone cases being made for high WR at the expense of being able to replace the battery. Due to fixation on one particular shortcoming of the product (not being able to replace the batter 3 or 4 years down the road), they develop a misunderstanding of what actually ends the product's useful life in the long run (in the case of phones, at the time, it was usually not the battery cycles, it was water damage, usually in fairly subtle ways manifesting as stability problems rather than spectacular failure)

So yeah, 30m "should be" plenty just like an ez-swap battery cover "should improve" the useful life of the phone, but in the real world, there's other factors to consider

I installed a cesium clocks in each testicle. By measuring each and calculating the difference (due to the gravitational effect of my huge balls and the small difference in droop) I can intuitively know the accurate time. The problem is the lag between knowing and transferring that information, I mean.. if you swallow maybe you can know too but there is no way to error correct.

>>17849815
That's bullshit but I choose to believe it.

>>17849818
is this an old Sinn model or something?

>>17849818
The hands look like Sinn or Damasko hands? I don't think they normally use bracelets like that though, and the logo doesn't look like Sinn. Honestly dive watches look and act so similar I really don't know that brand makes a difference.

>>17849444
Watches get destroyed by water all the time even though they have allegedly 50 or even 100m wr. I don’t mean the watch will get flooded instantly but just a little bit of moisture makes it’s way in and the watch will begin to rust from the inside. The seals degrade and user error plays a part too (if you for example turn the crown by accident when the watch is exposed to water). Screw down crown and 200m wr should very safe though

>>17849831
I look at water resistance as more of a measure of build quality than anything else. Higher WR is generally going to mean everything fits together with tighter tolerances. I don't necessarily trust a watch to go to 100m or 300m deep but it's good assurance that it should be built pretty tough.

>>17849817
It's based in fact: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=thb8Wr4kg94

>>17849781
That’s not what accuracy means, that just shows the time is set a bit incorrectly. An accurate watch is consistent and will not run fast/slow. What you should be looking at is how much your device’s clock is off across time, if it varies and the difference increases, then you can call it inaccurate

>>17849850
within a minute is good enough for most people, the phone is always within a couple seconds, that's whatever, that's accurate to you but I want the seconds to tick in unison to the point I don't visibly notice the difference, I don't care how "accurate" over time it is, I can recalibrate it whenever

Do people genuinely think a reading from the internet accurate to within .5 seconds isn't good enough for setting their bitch ass daily wear jewelry? If you set your automatic watch in the morning when you wake up it'll probably be off by more than that by the time you get to work. What are you doing that your watch has to be set that precisely?

>>17849854
> I want the seconds to tick in unison to the point I don't visibly notice the difference
So you want two watches to be synchronized? I guess you’ll have to do it by hand or by some kind of mechanical apparatus that starts two watches at the same time.

>>17849863
just with time.gov

>>17849869
You’ll have to do it by hand unless you can engineer a device that will press the crown on your watch down exactly when the second hand’s tick completes at time.gov. Probably not impossible but very difficult and I doubt it will be perfect even then. You’d need a digital watch that can be started electronically to get a precise synchronization I guess

>>17849875
I'm getting one but it might drive me more crazy, I'll just synch my other watches by hand to that one and it'll be close enough

>>17849875
Is this a level of autism that actually exists? You're messing around, right?

>>17849892
No, I mean WANTING to do that and thinking it's in any way necessary.

>>17849861
I was not being genuine, my point was that the time from the internet was not accurate so it was dumb to care. Even the watches that receive atomic signals can be off by up to a second. I don't even set my radio watches and have quartz that are up to 3 minutes fast. As long as they aren't slow I'm fine.

>>17849895
Nah, no one actually needs such a thing. the only reason someone would do it is as a hobby or school project.

>>17849899
> the watches that receive atomic signals
You mean a signal from an atomic clock? But the point of that is not to be ”on time” but to be consistent.. if you know the watch is always +1, it’s never fast/slow, you just always deduct 1 and you’ve got perfect time..

>>17850093
This kind of pseudointellectual flexing takes things a little too far. It's like finding out that all matter is 99% empty space and being afraid you could fall through the floor if your atoms lined up just right. It's based in provable scientific fact but thinking about it in that way is for all practical purposes pointless and goofy.

Yeah, hypothetically you can't press a watch crown and start the watch going on the exact microsecond of another reference time source. Practically speaking, who cares? You could never tell the difference if you did or not and it will never effect your life.

>>17850127
That's not even remotely similar though. The topic was setting wristwatches to atomic clocks. There is no living being in the history of the planet earth that has ever "fallen through the floor" or anything of that nature, because of the scale of organic life forms. But there are people alive, right now, who have undergone time dilation effects that would be theoretically noticeable with merely a pretty good wristwatch (say, a couple of well synchronized 9F seikos thrown in their suitcase on an ISS mission, and a matching set left on the ground).

Also if you're going to be a dick, it's "affect" not "effect" you mouth breather.

>You mean a signal from an atomic clock?
No, I mean a quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock.

If a watch is off by up to a second it can be +/-1 do you never know what time is it. Is it 4:54:32 or is it 4:54:33, or is it 4:54:34? You will never know! That's just the limits it can be any time between those.

Bought this one today.
It was supposed to be my first watch, but it became my 5th.
I am way too happy with this purchase. It's just amazing. The only downside is the bracelet.

>>17850105
The 5610 and 5000 always have the same module and were update at the same time. Even with the update they are still outdated modules, no even fading LED, no DST table, cheap dashes. Maybe by the 3rd or 4th update it will be up-to-date.

Once you learn a little about watchmaking you’ll see the appeal of RM. Same with the other uber-luxury brands like Greubel Forsey, Gauthier and Dufour. All watches that look sort of ugly or plain to people who don’t know what to look for. I don’t like RM’s design language but their technical prowess is undeniable.

I think >>17849722 is correct. The WR on the dial is just what it can achieve sitting static in a pressurized jar. I wouldn’t trust something only rated for 50m to take knocks at depth. I scuba dive and rarely go beyond 100ft deep, but I still think at least 200m is minimum for any “real” dive watch. But that’s just my take.

>>17849450
These low to mid range “homages” are the worst. Like either get a knock off or save up and get the real thing. These mid range fakes cost more, and are equally as disappointing to onlookers, as a regular fake. Save your money and buy a Casio/seiko/Asian shitter until you can get the real thing.

>>17849478
True. I have the redditism of “omega is sooo much better value than Rolex lolololol”.

Like they’re all way overpriced. If you actually want value get a citizen eco-drive diver that will last your way longer, be more accurate, and costs 5% of the price.

If you’re actually really in love with an expensive watch, whether omega/Rolex/breitling/IWC/etc. or whatever, don’t try to rationalize it. There is never a “rational” or “good” reason to buy a $4000+ watch. Don’t lie to yourself, admit that you’re a sucker for marketing, and get the one you really want, not what’s “best value”

>>17849563

There's a difference between buying that shitty Breitling for about 2k or buying a good heritage Breitling for about 3k. It's called stupidity. You're blowing money on small potatoes and undesired ETA shitters because they're cheap and you know it. That's really fucking terrible.

> a quartz clock or watch that is automatically synchronized to a time code transmitted by a radio transmitter connected to a time standard such as an atomic clock
I guess it always takes a bit of time for the transimmion to be broadcast, received and processed so the quartz watch would always be a bit behind. Unless you can predict the lag reliably and take it into account in the synchronization. If this synchronization is performed frequently, like once per day at least, a good quartz won’t be off in any noticable way. Maybe some hundreds of a second but you wouldn’t really notice differences like that in an analog quartz with second hand.

> If a watch is off by up to a second it can be +/-1
That’s not what I was talking about. +/-1 would mean there’s variation, that’s not consistent. So lets say that in the scenario above the synchronization takes 1second to execute, so the watch is always 1 sec behind, but it is consistently 1 sec behind so you know what they true time is, you add one.

>>17850766
Kek is it really? I only bought it because it looks like fruity pebbles. Will probably get the gen 5 when they start going on sale to lose the finger grooves.

Not my breitling, but thanks. Not really sure what comment you’re replying to or what you’re on about, but there’s no examples of this version of the Superocean for sub $3k on Chrono24 right now.

And any eta/sellita I’ve had works great and keeps great time. Crying like a bitch over whether a movement is in-house or not is just what watch autists do. No one that has ever felt the touch of a woman actually gives a fuck lol

>Steel version has a black display that fits the dark dial much better
>Titanium has light display that contrasts the display but matches the case and bracelet titanium color
>titanium is fucking cool for being titanium, a quartz titanium watch feels like it's magical on your wrist, your brain expects the weight of metal but your wrist feels the weight of plastic, super comfy to wear and the duller shine just looks special.

I am so fucking conflicted about them. I really want titanium because it's titanium and because it's the real premium version, a titanium radio controlled watch is cutting edge of modern watchmaking in japan, steel just doesn't have the status of titanium.

But the cheap steel version just looks better, the dark little display hiding inside the dial is far more aesthetic. I'm probably gonna feel like I've got the wrong watch if if I buy steel.

What do?

I've owned two of these in titanium at different times, both the white and black dials. I will never consider buying a quartz piece in stainless steel again desu the feel of titanium on your wrist is just fresh as fuck

Also the rendered promo pics of this watch are not true to life, you have to see it irl or at least an unboxing video to get an idea of what the dial looks like. It's this weirdly warm grayish color that isn't particularly dark imo. The white one has a pearly iridescent sheen

>>17850789
You're talking to a different person you schizophrenic fucking retarded mouthbreather.

>And any eta/sellita I’ve had works great and keeps great time.
You're being ripped off every time you buy them. I own 5 pieces (+2 for sale), only one of them is not in-house, an IWC flieger from back when IWC made their own escapement and regulator instead of using the standard ETA parts. You seem to own nothing but fucking shit. I pity anyone who knowingly buys bone stock ETA/VJ pieces from big money names like Breitling. It's poorfag excuses nothing more. You can't spend 4 or 5k on a good watch so you buy a 2k shitter because of marketing (brand name). That's the dumbest fucking shit ever.

I'll excuse a couple of ETA based movements, particularly if they're IWC modified like their VJ based movement, but you seem to think buying them is "building a collection"? Pathetic.

>>17850801
>I will never consider buying a quartz piece in stainless steel again desu the feel of titanium on your wrist is just fresh as fuck

Thanks anon, this is the encouragement i needed. My dad actually has a titanium quartz watch too so i know exactly how weightless they are. Although he wears it to the workshop and it looks like a dog was chewing on it, but I have a plastic casio for working in.

>It's this weirdly warm grayish color that isn't particularly dark imo. The white one has a pearly iridescent sheen

I'm shopping for a blue version tho. I already have an all black Seiko (black face black pvd case), but i don't have a navy blue watch.

>>17850763
>Better strap, screw down caseback, steel frame instead of plastic.
besides the strap, which is only noticeably different when you compare them side by side, and the higher weight making your monkey brain perceive it as sturdier there is no benefit to it being made of steel over plastic
nobody that managed to break his gshock would have prevented the damage by having a steel core
ultimately the price is not justified but it does feel ever so slightly nicer

A watch made completely from yellow gold, the case and bracelet I mean, can be excessive and not easy to ”carry” well so to speak. Yellow gold and black leather strap is usually classy but works best in formal occasions, naturally.

>>17850788
Very accurate

>>17850154
It is the same thing. You're over thinking something really simple to a retarded and pointless level that doesn't matter. When I go to time.gov to set my watch I time my press of the crown with the change of the seconds and for all intents and purposes I'm on the second I set it to.
>NOOOO BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY HUNDREDS OF MILLISECONDS OFF HUNAN REACTION TIME COULD NEV-
No. Shut up. My watch is synchronized with the clock. That's the end of it. In 2 hours it's going to drift off of the time due to error caused by the movement of the watch and how tightly the watch is regulated in each position, so who cares? Whether or not I am technically physically capable of doing it means fuck all.
>no body's ever fallen through the floor
Yeah, that was precisely the point. Why bother worrying about something that doesn't matter? I honestly don't even set my watch to the exact time usually, I often set it 10 or so seconds fast or slow depending on how the watch runs because I expect it to drift off time and I can save myself from trying to autistically setting the watch every day or two to keep it current. Actually, I'd say wearing automatic watches has taught me to appreciate my time more while also being less fussy about exactly the minutia of what precise time it is. Am I going to lose my job or miss a plane because my watch was 30 seconds slow? Almost certainly not.

We visited LINDROOS with Seikomani and Tristano! Seikoman's 2001 Avensis (it has a SEIKOHOLICS sticker on the rear window!) was fined on the sidewalk.

The purpose was to check GRAND SEIKO news and looking for a new direction for Seikomani mods! Tristano, as a well-known punk and an urban gentleman, was dressed in a classic style because his grandfather was a British-Italian gentleman and pilot. Of course, Seikomani had OFF-ROAD SHORTS (suitable for tool watches) and an authentic Japanese KANAGAWA WAWE kimono!!! As soon as we got inside, Tristano tried to push the Rolex in line! SEIKOMAN deeply disapproved of this, and threw the 1st gen orange Monster BACK RAGE!! HAHA!!! Tristano kept asking about the times of exp2 and how many affordable watches should be bought to get a RELATIONSHIP with the store.

We went with Seikoman to look at the GS showcase and Seikoman asked tough questions to the salesman, who was RIGHT IN THE YARD! and don't know that the skx case can be POLISHED by ZARATSU at home!!! The salesman asked if we were interested in seeing other brands, I asked a little after Tissot PRX, but Seikoman pointed out at the same time that they don't export SWISS SHITTERS and you can get such a case for the 4r movement from a high-quality mod dealer. SEIKOMAN asked to see the gesso quartz gmt, and while the salesman was looking for the keys, Seikoman dug out one turtle mod from his pocket, to which I just had to replace the KANJI DATE WHEEL while waiting!
Well, the seller was still in the yard when the snowman arrived, and he doesn't know if you can change the 6r mechanism to this gmt GS. AMATEUR!!!

Tristano was still pushing at the counter, in that famous roll queue, until he suddenly received a message from RO-LEX TRADERS OY, that you now have a 96-year expi available, no box or papers, 13440e! Seikoman didn't bother because it had to enlighten the seller about 5kx things that were just created to destroy MOD CULTURE!!!

what's cooler a watch handcrafted by a swiss cheeze monkey, or a watch that runs forever and always shows the correct time? How cool is that? Finely machined titanium, radio control from the atomic clock, it just runs and it knows the time, you NEVER set it.

Meanwhile Casio makes a tiny and lightweight watch that runs on one battery for god knows how long in a bold and iconic design from the 80s. One glance at the color accents on the f-91w reminds you that life could be better than this, there was a time when the people were happy and full of optimism for the future rather than knowing only the doom and dread.

Gmt Movement? My watch knows what time it is everywhere, and it knows whether or not they use daylight savings. It also has a chronometer, and a timer in it. The timer really helps cooking and excersizing.

This is the one in question, right? You won't regret it then. Just make sure not to torque it too much when winding it up to get it going, and I would stop winding as soon as I see the seconds hand start moving.

So all that so you could save 3 dollars on a battery once every 5 years, now thats value

Lol buddy what are you so mad about

You didn’t actually say WHY eta/sellita are shitty, and regardless, breitling mods stock eta movements, same as your shitter IWC. The only difference is you paid more lol. Great mental gymnastics there lol

Again, not my breitling, and no one said anything about “building a collection”. That’s just some shit you made up

Good luck selling your watches so you can buy gift for your wife’s bull, neutered manlet

Not only that he's 82 now. 83 soon.
