Unfortunately no. I've never seen it. I'm new to watches in general but I assume lume is something that varies drastically piece-to-piece.

>>17984076
Rolex what else?

>>17984074
nice i learned skiing in flims laax as a kid.

>>17984083
Ehh, not necessarily. Seiko for example is usually known for having really good strong lume in most of their watches (well the ones that are designed for professional use at least).

Unless you're really making a tooly tool watch that a military, professional etc would consider using, dive watches should generally all move back to looking more casual.

>>17984088
Well that sucks for me. What prompted you to ask about the lume based on my picture?

>>17984402
Really? Thanks :D

>>17984404
It was more about movements, technology, and design, rather than being /fa/ggots only obsessed with looks and "fit".

Here, I almost never see any movement tech talk. But jannytrannies decided it wasn't technology, while wallpapers and phone homescreens are.

>>17984410
I'd like to hear your thoughts and knowledge about the spring drive. Why do you think it's cool or is it overhyped?

>>17984408
I wish I could get my hands on one of those, apparently the movement is a real frankenstein trainwreck (pic).

Of the first three automatic chrono movements I've only worked on the Seiko 6139. It's completely alien, nothing like any other movement, but because of that part-count is relatively low. As I said, the Heuer is monstrous. The Zenith looks like a masterpiece.

>>17984410
let's be honest though it was /g/ so the quality of the "technology" discussion amounted to memorizing movement #s and name calling and saying "horological value" like a religious prayer of some kind

>>17984416
People misunderstand it. SD fanboys will contort into all kinds of mental gymnastics to categorize it as an automatic, but it isn't, it's a quartz movement.

Personally it feels like a gimmick. Seiko should have invested in tuning-fork tech. Citizen made license-built Accutron movements in their Hisonic line.

>>17984423
Not really, it was a lot of movement autism, horological history autism, etc. but I may be wearing nostalgia glasses.

>>17984423
Redpill me about "horological value"

>>17984338
nope, it was a limited edition:
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/cool-hunting-x-nomos-club-campus-38-limited-edition-pride-models-introducing

>>17984419
Yeah I worried about sending it to small watchmakers for that reason. Some didn't even want to touch it. Eventually sent it to TAG's "Vintage Workshop" and they did a really nice job on it. Kinda expensive though

>>17984426
"Automatic" does not refer to what kind of escapement system the movement has, just whether it has automatic winding or not. There are both automatic and manual spring drive movements. Hell there are battery powered swiss lever movements.

>>17984426
I thought that most of its movement is mechanical, powered by a mainspring just like traditional watches. The difference is the escapement which has been replaced basically by that regulator synchro thingy. However, it's completely silent unlike a mechanical watch, and a quartz too actually.
But it is complete lie autonomous, no external power required.
I'd say it's 75:25 Mechanical/Quartz.
Have you ever worked on an SD movement?

>>17984438
completely*

>>17984432
That's not how we define movements though. They're categorized by their oscillating element. And a Spring Drive is a quartz, as the timekeeping element is a quartz crystal. An Accutron is a tuning-fork. A Hamilton Electric is pure electric balance watch. Later electrics are rather transistorized electronics, but the balance design is similar.

And that's not swiss lever either. Not even close.

>>17984426
>Not really, it was a lot of movement autism, horological history autism, etc. but I may be wearing nostalgia glasses.

The /g/ thread was shit and you know it. That's why I decided to move it to /fa/.

>>17984441
"Automatic" doesn't mean swiss lever. If you wanna define a movement by what it uses as the escapement, then use the escapement, not whether. Just using "automatic" when what you really mean is "swiss lever" becomes confusing (apart from just incorrect) when manual wind watches are in question.

>>17984438
Nope, completely quartz, power source and whatever gimmicky running train it has is irrelevant. Could be steam powered, or a donkey on a treadmill and it wouldn't change the definition.

Independents don't really get to work on Spring Drives. Parts and schematics are restricted.

>>17984451
>>17984453
Automatic generally means automatic mechanicals, whether they're swiss lever or nowadays (thankfully) extinct pin-lever.

Spring Drive is kind of an autoquartz, but it's also different that it doesn't charge a shitty capacitor (also a warning to you all that Kinetics are dogshit), but winds a mainspring.

I guess I should have explained it more clearly, SD fanboys delude themselves that SD isn't a quartz watch but muh try-synchro regulator rising sun fuji mountain folded thousand times nippon mechanical. It's a quartz watch, the timekeeping element is quartz.

meca quartz

>>17984457
I actually don't give a fuck what you think is quartz or not. What I care about is that you seem to think "automatic" automatically means swiss lever when it doesn't. When you're trying to be a pedantic faggot then at least get that shit right.

>>17984463
I don't, retard weaboo faggot, learn to read, or at least cut back on the delusion.

>>17984460
Kind of a gimmick term of giving the chrono-second a heart cam and hammer instead of just the electronics and motor resetting it.

>>17984470
"You don't" what? I'm clearly not the one that needs brushing up on reading comprehension when you're not actually replying to anything I said. Like I said, I don't care if you think spring drive is quartz. Sure, it is, why not, who give a fuck? Your dumb ass is still wrong about "automatic" meaning "swiss lever".

>>17984494
>You wanna be pedantic about spring drive being quartz? I don't care.
You sure as hell seem you do.

>>17984499
Literally the only thing I've been pointing out is that "automatic" is a separate term that has nothing to do with it being quartz or not. You'd know that if your IQ was above room temperature.

Oh boy I sure love /g/ watch thread

>>17984501
Yeah, I noticed, autists tend to repeat themselves on and on, because they don't realize nobody cares.

I already said above I should have explained more clearly, yet you're still running in circles mid-tantrum. Amazing.

Anyway, going to bed. Try to keep the spergout going without me, be back in about nine hours.

>I may be wearing nostalgia glasses.
Understatement of the year
They were shit threads just like here

>>17984470
Aren't these "gimmicks" the reason we're attracted to these time keeping pieces in the first place, those unnecessary (in the context of current and slightly less current times) complications? Those little cogs, springs, jewels, crystals, batteries and whatever the fuck combination they're placed in? Le spring drive keeps better time than any mechanical, and a battery powered shitter you can acquire for basically chump change keeps better time than all them. And then there's the fucking phone, where timekeeping is basically an afterthought. It's not that functionality we're after when going after these pieces. They're the toys for grown-ups and I don't know about you, but I loved my fucking toys as a kid, and I sure as hell love the ones I got now. Automatics, manuals, quartz, spring drives, it's all fucking semantics. "Le spring drive is a quartz!" Why is spring drive being a quartz a bad thing? Is it because "quartz = cheap"? It's still a magnificent piece of engineering, same as those solar-powered, radio-synced digital watches, same as any regular or more outlandish mechanicals. I wanna get a spring drive. I think it's an interesting spin on what quartz watch is supposed to be, and you can be damn sure it's not reason that's driving me to get it. It's pure fucking autism and I love every smooth/skipped/lost/precise second of it.

>>17984443
When it gets to that shit level here can we have it back at /g/ again to start over?

>>17984152
It's a great alternative with cool presence. Do you have one, Anon, or are you thinking of getting one? They're still reasonable on the secondary market.

>>17984157
It's good and bad. It leaves great deals out there to be had on awesome watches, but it also blows up the popularity of the professional to the point where there are more than enough Anons who wonder, 'what's all the fuss about?' I can't blame them...if they don't love the watch to begin with, the hype behind it won't make sense.

>>17984176
Most Zenii are great prices. Why not get a 1/100th chronograph? They're awesome in person and not many people know about them or have them. Prices are awesome for the tech.

>>17984200
Don't worry..you could have it polished out, since no one cares about clasps for value of the watch.

>>17984318
I am here, Fren. How are you? What are you wearing today?

>>17984410
I could, but no one here except the guy with flannel shirts has another Omega 1045 movement, and no one I know here has a cal. 321. Lots of Anons might have a Valjoux 775x variant, but everyone knows what these can do and what the pitfalls of them are. As for the 1861 and the 1120, these are everywhere and non-remarkable. Finally, no one has a 0100 or a Zenith 5011k here except me as far as I know...so there's not much to say about that either. But I'd be up for conversation if the subject was ideal.

>>17984508
Sleep tight, SinnFren.

>>17984519
I'd agree, but I think it's already known.

I think most people are just afraid of vintage watches. Not knowing if parts have been replaced or restored, or knowing their service history, can be a bit much for some people.
That said, enjoy my 1977 King Quartz. I've only had it for a month or so now, but it's been running great, and I love the look.

>>17984717
Normies are tastelets.

>>17984714
Did Omega ever reissue this? Or rather, why the fuck did they not keep production going? They go so hard on the Speedmaster and space exploration you'd think they'd push the fact that they were the first to sell dive watches.

>>17984680
It's a great alternative with cool presence. Do you have one, Anon, or are you thinking of getting one? They're still reasonable on the secondary market.

Thinking of getting one, seeing a lot of great options around $2-3k on chrono24

>>17984717
That depends on where you hang out and what kind of people, none of my friends use mechanical watches, yet I see plenty where I work. Also all my watches are cheap vintages, but I've gotten more compliments on the cheapest of them than the ones I've spent more.

Got gifted one of these as a birthday present (the white one)

Can't see myself wearing it super often but still pretty cool

Do they tell the time?

>>17984765
Yes

The inner dot is the hour hand and the outer dot is the minute hand

>>17984727
A very limited reissue back in 2007.

>>17984764
dang, now THIS is what I call disrupting the industry

>>17984706
You could solve this by wearing those old velcro wrist weights for a while; there are always options.

>>17984714
Awesome, but somewhat impractical.

>>17984717
I wear vintage, but I know it's a niche. Don't worry Fren; just wear what you love. Who cares what other people think? As long as what you wear on your wrist makes you smile wide when you look down to see the time.

>pic related - vintage!!

>>17984720
Agreed.

>>17984727
Yes, but no one bought it. As for dive watches; the original was a normal watch cased in a water-proof outer shell, so it wasn't really a waterproof watch...it was just a watch that had a shell. I think that's why.

>>17984751
If you do, I'd recommend budgeting in the price of a full service either from Omega or from an independent as part of your budget. If you get the watch and you love it, then service it immediately so that you can enjoy it at 'full performance' for the longest time. If you're used to 41/42mm watches, then these will wear small for sure, but the colour combos are vibrant and are noticeable, especially if you colour-coordinate the straps. Right now, they are not in demand...good time to buy if you want them.

>>17984773
Their museum collection has quite a number of gems...for a time I wanted to get the Racend Timer. I honestly thought it was the most beautiful chronograph in gold ever constructed. I still think it's extraordinarily handsome...

>>17984773
Nice dial, i love this gray brushed finish.

Is does this look too big on my wrist? I think it looks fine but I have some doubts

>>17984789
Looks great Fren. It'll always look too big when the shot is from that close. The modern way of measuring if it's 'too big' is if the lugs reach over the width of your wrist. If they do, it's 'too big'. If they don't, it's 'fine'. If you have the camera very close to the watch, the lugs will look larger, thus making the watch 'too big'. If you go far away, it looks smaller.

>you have no idea how small the 42mm watches I have look on me in the bathroom mirror...

>>17984789
looks fine by modern standards, also phone pictures always make the face look bigger than what it is

>>17984781
>You could solve this by wearing those old velcro wrist weights for a while; there are always options.
I do wonder if that would make a difference. I do exercise/lift weights regularly without any problem but for some reason having a heavy watch on my wrist gives me joint pain.

>>17984803
Then it might be the positioning. Could it be affecting your ulna directly? Is it pinching something if you bend your wrist with your palm facing the inside of your forearm or if you go side-to-side?

It took some time for me to get used to wearing the Lobster (my name for it, not the official name); it's very thiccc, very heavy, and the most ungainly watch in my collection. You know what solved it? Wearing it overnight while sleeping...for some reason, that got my body used to it. So, maybe try that. The only other thing I can think of is that the actual size (i.e. 41 vs. 36mm) might be another impediment. What are you trying to wear, Fren?

>pic related. We do get used to it eventually...

> Now, the use of silicon is getting more common in the watch industry, but it’s still relatively uncommon, and to see it here in a watch that retails for $775 on bracelet is pretty cool.

Is the Tissot gentleman worth it? What makes it more expensive than a Citizen or Seiko automatic at half the price?

>>17984807
Higher spec movement. Although all 3 companies you named have mass produced movements Tissot, or rather Swatch, are the worst offenders because they construct their modern Powermatics in such a way where a third party can not reliably work on them.
Still as I said, spec wise it's a step up from thos cheaper Seikos and Citizens.

What are you trying to wear, Fren?
just your standard seiko 5 sport

>>17984807
It says "Tossit" on it.

>>17984807
They are very worth it if you get them at a discount or on the grey market. It's excellent value, looks great. A really good first piece, I don't think anything else really compares in terms of finish or accuracy or power reserve at the price point. I wear mine pretty much everywhere, office, hiking, skiing. Very versatile.

The exhibition back is more of a novelty, the movement isn't anything amazing ro look at.

>>17984833
>A really good first piece
And this is everything you need to know about it. Basically a watch for a kid until he gets something better for Bar Mitzvah. If your an adult wearing one you are considered pathetic.

>Sleep tight, SinnFren
Thanks Omegafren. I'm too fucking old for partying untill 3 in the morning. There was a dude with a bb58 adjusting the time on his wrist like a fegget though.

Pretty good deal for a PRX Powermatic at jomashop if anyone wants one. 499 with 20 bucks off. https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-prx-powermatic-80-automatic-black-dial-mens-watch-t137-407-11-051-00.html

>>17984841
Depends where you are in the world. For the Tissot ADs, it's second fiddle to the PRX so check jomashop or chrono24 and see if you can find it new in box. I got mine at 25% off in a Christmas sale.

It's unlikely you'll get a fake, just make sure you're getting the automatic if that's what you're after. Quartz is also nice and well priced.
>gee this one is just 300 eurobux
>it's the quartz

>>17984851
from what I understand, they use an off-the-shelf movement that can't be serviced, so the quartz version is actually a better choice?

>>17984854
The powermatics can of course be serviced and regulated. There's some kind of misunderstanding online about this movement. They would replace a movement if it was beyond repair, like any sensible shop.

It really depends, do you want the sweep and slight variations of an automatic watch or the reliable tick of a quartz?

>>17984854
The escapement is made out of plastic for the cheap Powermatic 80. The watch can in fact be serviced but Tissot is not doing that, they will just put a new movement in or toss the watch if there is a problem within warranty. The watch is sold very often because of it's nice look and moderate finish. It's not a bad movement per se but the use of a polymer escapement leaves a sour taste for many people. The accuracy is also pretty good apparently.

Hola niños

Good morning frens.

I really like the Rolex Submariner for it's classic diver design and simplicity, and I can finally afford it a used one, but I hate the brand association with nouveau riche bourgeois dickheads.

Is there a similar classic dive watch within the same price bracket that isn't the 007 Bond cosplay Omega Seamaster?

>>17984894
Nice cat.

>>17984901
If you want something that takes cues from classic dive watches then maybe a Black Bay 54 would do the job. Also a Blancpain Fifthy Fathoms maybe. And yes yes Tudor and Rolex are closely related, but normalfags don't know that yet so it should be fine.

Just copped a mint seiko prospex x beam solar in japan for 450usd

>>17984580
Thanks

>>17984917
Why does Seiko do the 4 o clock date window round now?

>>17984944
Not nearly as kino as the original one

>>17984955
No, but it's still a good watch. It's very thin for a dive watch. It's a reasonable 38mm and it's got like 5 days of power reserve.
I think Hodinkee had Blancpain make a limited edition that looked more like the old one but I can't be arsed to find out.

Picrel: one of the oldest Bathyscaphes. Seiko copied this design when they made their first diver.

>>17984976
Prefer the Seiko bezel and handset, but that Bathyscape is indeed absolute kino.

>>17984976
Here's the Hodinkee Bathyscaphe.
It's good-looking, but I wish they had skipped the faux patina.

>>17984979
That's a very good looking watch too, I think 60-70s Seiko absolutely nailed it design-wise

>>17984929
I kind of like the nipple dial.

How many people actually like faux patina? I feel like it's something only the nerdiest of watch nerds like. And even then opinions are split.

>>17984985
>I think 60-70s Seiko absolutely nailed it design-wise
Yeah. They wisely just copied good-looking watches instead of trying to come up with designs of their own.

>>17984995
60s and 70s was also when Seiko established all their own designs though that are still beloved today.

>>17984995
Are you unironically fucking retarded?

I think it's something the watch nerds DISlike. They're the ones who know it's fake tritium. Normies just see, "Oh, that's a neat color."

>>17984199
It's pretty disgusting to me that 99% of hands on "high horology" watches are stamped and completely flat, with the only finish being a rough buffing on the top.

>>17984426
>Personally it feels like a gimmick.
That's because you're an idiot.

Spring drive is a quartz, but instead of using batteries or capacitors for power storage it uses mechanical spring tension. It's literally the best of both worlds, and was a massive breakthrough.

Lots of Seikosimps ITT right now

>>17985033
A capacitor or a battery is superior to a spring though anon.

>>17985033
>It's literally the best of both worlds

>>17984441
>>17984426
You're a literal retard. "Automatic" refers to the fact that the watch winds itself, rather than having to manually wind it.

Spring drive exists in both automatic and manually wound versions.

It's the worst of both worlds.

A battery can be cheaply replaced. The whole movement can be cheaply replaced if need be.
A mechanical can be serviced forever.

A Sprooong drive? Too expensive to simply replace and if that integrated circuit fails, well, you're fucked. Plus, quartz crystals do break down over time, which is why old quartz watches from the 60s are not as accurate today as they were when they were new.

>>17985054
>So what?
So you're welcome for the lesson.

>worse than having a two year battery
If you actually wear the watch, your watch basically has an infinite power reserve.

>>17985061
>if that integrated circuit fails
Circuitry doesn't fail unless they get wet or chewed on by rats.
Capacitors and batteries on the other hand.

>>17985067

Anyone here know Hanhart watches? An old Uni friend of my has one he got from his dad, who was a Luftwaffe (Cold War, not Nazi kek) pilot. It's not this model specifically, but this is the one that caught my eye from that manufacturer.
