Oh You.

>>7450498 -> >>7450338

Look at Tissot, nigga.

>>7450104
no personality in that watch, looks like the watch every grandparent aged worker wears at my company.

also i think bulova is run by jews.

go for this

>>7450532

That looks like shit though

whats your budget?
whats your dress style?
what does your 'everyday' day include, scrubbing toilets? folding paper? heavy machinery? etc
silver goes well with more things than gold

here are some distinct watch styles

>>7450104
OBVIOUSLY Uniform Wares.

>>7450104
Bulova is owned & made by Citizen so it's solid.

>>7450104
What is your budget?

Save up and buy a Patek Philippe.

I bought one for myself this year. £20,000 and it took me four years to save for it.

>>7450846
LOL you could've bought a mid range car for that money. Utter fucking fail m8.

>>7450862
Well, I have a 2011 Mustang which suits my needs perfectly.

>>7450846

>>7450865
Thats got to be one of the least fashionable cars out there, it's S-reg mondeo tier.

>>7450865
You could've had a holiday to spain every year for the rest of your life.

>>7450874
Why would I want to do that? I just travel to Tokyo or LA a couple of times a year and go night driving which suits me perfectly. Much better than being mugged by some fat, bronze British tourists.

>>7450877
But I like it, it feels nice to drive and sounds great. I've wanted one since I was a kid and I earn enough to justify buying one.

>>7450743
everyone sort of jumped onto GS/credor as a brand since they're the current pioneer in modern watch engineering

if you give it a decade they'll go back to patek

>>7450104
my shooting watch is a cheap ass timex easy reader with a $19.95 china deployment clasp

that is clearly plated base metal with a stainless steel label etched onto it kind of funny, but i sometimes worry about lead content

>>7450846
stfu and post your watch faggot

>>7450906
Do you wear a high end tissot other times?

>>7450906
what's your eating watch?

>>7450911
tissot all the way bro

>>7450909
which one, i have about half a dozen now
with bands for most of them

current favorite is that orient mako with a maratac real bond, switch to my bespoke horween shell cordovan one in summer

>>7450909
I'm not at home so I can't take a picture of mine, but the picture is the one I bought.

>>7450906
there are clasps big enough to fit your wrists?

>>7450923
cool let me post the photos of the Ferrari i just bought, it's at home though. So just google Ferrari and the red one is mine.

>>7450930
I knew people wouldn't believe me, but what do I have to gain by convincing people that I will never meet that I might possibly own an expensive watch?

>>7450922
No one cares about your pleb "collection"

>>7450930
you gonna stance it bro?

also choppin off the exuast and ordering a "chip" for it bra? vdub lyfe

The watch is fine, OP. If you like it get it.
Bulova is fine.
How much can you get it for?

>>7450756

what model is the high end swiss?

>>7450846

lol archie go away

>>7450935
Just post it with the documents that came with it and timestamp

Guys, I want a Pepsi bezel diver, but I find myself to be indecisive right now. Help me choose. I'll make up my mind after 10 votes.

You see the Seiko is a real ISO diver, but the Orient can do the very same. The Orient has a nicer dial, but the Seiko is considered "classic". At this price range, the bracelet isn't going to be that great, but the Orient's oyster bracelet is solidly built, whereas the Seiko's jubilee is flimsy. Both are solidly built watches, both are reliable, and both appeal to me at the same time.

>>7451023
Pics?

>>7451023
I am a faggot. Here's pic.

>>7451047
i have a black mako it's a seiko produced movement pretty decent watch

i own the real version of the 009, the 6309 that movement is OKAY but it feels flimsy and small compared to the orient.

however the 6309 movement i have is still ticking from 1985, save for the one time i had to open the caseback and remove a screw that wedged itself into the balance wheel in 2009. i never found out where that movement screw went so it never went back in o.O

my rec would be orient, save money, built a little nicer same company

>>7451023
go for the SKA369

>>7451047
The Orient looks like it is a dress watch face in a diver's case and the Seiko looks like a normal diver. I'm leaning towards the seiko

>>7451070
how is that face a dress watch face? it's updated diver

i try to shy away from divers too

anything with a rotating bezel and classic diver watch detailing everyone assumes to be a rolex homage

>>7451080
I don't know, theres just something about it

>>7451056
>i have a black mako it's a seiko produced movement pretty decent watch
Though Seiko now own Orient, Orient still make and use their own movements.

I'm this guy:
>>7451023
>>7451047

Can I please have more votes? So far I have
1 vote Orient
1 vote Seiko

I'm fine with one or the other, really. I just need a push in whatever direction.

>>7451305
seiko 009

>>7451047
I can't decide, I don't really like either. Do you like the Seiko Monster?

>>7450846
>>7450923
>>7450935

>>7451441
Seiko Monster? No way, that thing is fugly. If you were forced to buy one or the other, which one would you choose?

>>7451456
The Orient.

>>7451305
I've got a blue Orient Mako, I think it's the better looking of the two. Seiko is just too cramped somehow [and also looks like a fake submariner (fuck the homagefags, you want a submariner, get a real fucking submariner)] The Orient has more "original" design.
I would like a jubilee or president style bracelet, though a good one would cost another $100. Bracelet on the Mako is of decent quality, easy to adjust yourself too, with a paperclip :) It scratches easily, but what doesn't.
Movement is accurate enough, I'd say a minute or two fast in a month, power reserve is about a day and a half in real world use.

>>7451808
What's the button at 2 O'Clock for?

>>7452010
it's for pushing your buttons pussy u mad at the button

you sound like a 5 year old

It changes the weekday display. Some people don't like it, I think it gives some personality to the watch.

If you want something that is unique, and isn't some "dressed by the internet" seiko 5 or something you'll see anyone on the street wearing, I'd recommend a Raketa Copernic, the USSR's Paratrooper issue watch. Rare in the states, but very common in Russia and Eastern Europe. Can find them on Ebay anywhere from 50-150

>>7452450
>If you want something that is unique, and isn't some "dressed by the internet" seiko 5 or something you'll see anyone on the street wearing,

I don't have Seiko 5 but as a bit of a watch enthusiast I often pay attention to what people are wearing. Never seen Seiko 5 live yet on anyone.

Even if it feels that "everyone" has one in /fa/, /mfa or whatever, it doesn't mean anything in real world. We are way too niche for that.

w-where would i get that vintage german mechanical watch,

what are some specific names?

Hey, I'm the guy looking for the Pepsi diver. >7451047

So far I have 5 votes:
Orient Mako : 3 votes
Seiko SKX: 2 votes

I'd like 5 more votes, guys. Like I said before, these two watches are in the same price range. They are both excellent watches for the money, and they will both outperform their duty as diving watches. At that, I'm going down to 30 to 40 meters--so serious tool watch would be overkill.

>>7454290
dude go the orient, the colour scheme is way better, brighter colours = better visibility in the water.

otherwise - and not to fuck with your choices - have you looked at Vostok? lesser quality and price but still good divers. 200m WR

>>7454332
but the bezel. bi-directional non click (slide) = kind of dangerous, easily changed and all of sudden you have 5 minutes left and think you have 10

Can anyone tell me the difference between these two?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ORIENT-Scuba-Diver-Black-FEM65007B9/dp/B008NX16JU/ref=pd_sbs_watches_7

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orient-EM65007B-Raven-Plated-Automatic/dp/B008G3J93M/ref=pd_sbs_watches_3

>>7454359
only difference I can pick up is in the title. "Ion plated"?
they are the same watch but perhaps one has a higher anti-magnetic resistance?

not really worth the extra money unless you work with magnets or for example wearing it on your right hand while playing electric guitar...

>>7454359
they're the exact same model.
first link is the actual model umber
second link is the model number used in the URL on orient's website, but the description on the same page lists the first model nomber.

>>7452450
>the USSR's Paratrooper issue watch
No.

>>7454340
Tension can be adjusted; it won't move unless you want it to.

>>7454420
>>7454428
Thanks guys

Date-rape tip: the button makes the second hand spin around to anywhere between 0 anad 20 seconds, where 0 means "no power reserve" and 20 means "max power reserve" (6 months).

Also, Seiko over Orient. The orient looks more like a Sub anyway. Typing this while wearing a SickDweller (replicunt).

Not mine but I have a it with a similar strap

>inb4 Nomos copy
>mfw Nomos copied a pre existent design
>mfw I'm a watch

>>7456014
The orient mako does not have a power reserve indicator

The mechanical watch with a power reserve indicator and exhibition case back and saph crystals are the seiko kinetic series at places like macys for $300 to $500

I got one form$150 sieg!!!!!!
You got a min crystal and a lower end movement

The 5m26 is a quartz movement (accuracy) charged with an oscillating weight ( benefits of a mechanical) ie it's the cheap way to get credor and grand seiko accuracy out of a watch

>>7456175
No watch collection is complete without a spring drive mech quartz kinetic and tour billion imho

I can take citizens proprietary light charged quartz movements

Alright sorry this is kinda off topic but i am buying my gf a watch and I need some recommendations.
She has tiny tiny wrists and i would like to keep it under ~$200 preferably.
Any thoughts??

>>7456256
What you're asking for is a service most of us pay for at brick and mortar stores. If you need help consult a local personal shopping assistant

>>7456156

The watch band is shit but the watch is great

Pepsi guy here.

So far I have:
5 votes Orient Mako
3 votes Seiko SKX

I asked for 10 votes, and I'd like to see this poll to the end. With whatever you guys choose for me, I'll be happy with. I've tried both of these on in person and they both look pretty good on me. Either will work perfectly for me while I dive.

It seems that Orient is winning the poll, but I just know somebody is going to samefag twice in favor of the Seiko. Let's see it.

>>7456441
Seiko all the way. Better bracelet, better lume, and most importantly the Orient just looks cheap as fuck.

Buy the Seiko, and then buy wjean oyster bracelet from eBay.

>>7456473
Maybe the photo was misleading, but the build quality between the two are practically the same.

You're right about the lume, which is important. The Seiko is certainly better as a tool watch.

>>7456493

I also vote for the Seiko. I don't think to Orient is bad per se I just think he Seiko is better

Kekekekekekeke

Now the poll is tied:
Orient Mako: 5 votes
Seiko SKX: 5 votes

The next vote will break the tie and determine my purchase.

>don't like mechanical and prefer quartz
>want a somewhat impressive watch brand

what do

>>7456713
It's okay, mayne. We won't judge you.

What's your budget?

I know that Hamilton produces some very reliable quartz watches. The movements are sourced from the Swiss Rhonda company. They are very reliable workhorse movements. Take a look.

>>7450923
>20 grand on this

TOP KOK

>>7456732
$200-500

>>7456695
Both of them

>>7456774
I'm listing a few Hamiltons:

These guys make solid timepieces with excellent finishing. Browse around and see if you can get these for cheaper. If want another brand be sure to look around watchuseek. You will surely find what you want.

>>7456777
That's very funny.

Say, if Sieg pointed his shitty airsoft gun at your head and demanded you to choose between the two, what would you choose?

I'd like some advice /fa/, I need to cop a dive watch similar to the ones already posted in the thread, no more than £200. The catch is that it has to be gold (inb4 nigger, swagfag - It isn't even for me)

>>7456814
Does it have to be a dive watch? The only thing that I can think of within that price range is Invicta, and these watches are terrible. Take a look at these, just as food for thought.
>http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-Diver-Collection-Gold-Tone-Watch/dp/B0009P672Q/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1387648519&sr=8-6&keywords=invicta+gold
>http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-9312-Diver-Gold-Tone-Stainless/dp/B0009P6730/ref=pd_sbs_watch_3

Just read the reviews and make up your mind.

>>7456823
Hmmm I may be able to get away with another, the guy I'm getting it for said he wanted one "Like a Rolex" (meaning the submariner)

>>7456992
The Invicta divers are supposed to be homages to the Sub, so I guess those could work.

Could you also include your input for me?
>>7456695
Help a brotha out.

>>7457002
I think they look alright even if they're shit, he isn't exactly a watch connoisseur so he wouldn't really be able to tell the difference between that Invicta and a higher end watch

This has been my dress watch of late, love the minimal design.


Interchangeable strap, diamond accent, found it on sale and had a coupon, cost me about 80 bucks. I get compliments.

>>7457002
Go for the Orient now and save the difference for a Vostok Amphibia

>>7457074
This is bad. The people giving you complements are wrong.

>>7457074
That's certainly an acquired taste

>>7457074
Looks like my dads watch, and he's the least /fa/ person in the world

>>7450104
I bought that exact watch a year ago to be college babby's first watch, and I love it.

>>7457685
Thanks for the input, man. This is the deciding vote. I'm getting the Orient Mako.

Heck, with the money I'm saving, I can add another Vostok Amfibia to my collection.

>>7458614
The Seiko is ISO 6425 rated. Orient is not. If the watch will ever see water get the Seiko.

>>7458621
I've gone to watchuseek and various diving forums, and many people have recommended the Orient as an alternative to the Seiko SKX. While the Orient lacks the ISO rating, it is still a capable diving watch.

The thing is, most divers go 30 to 40 meters for recreation--and this piece can certainly handle the job.

stay fat loser

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a raketa watch

Any good ones on ebay that stand out? Some are obviously beat to hell and some don't have a strap, what should I be looking for.

>he's never used ebay
yeah I know we all have to start somewhere

>>7462367
>some don't have a strap
Just buy an after market one

is it possible to wear 30mm watch today without being laughed at? everyone is wearing those big chunky watches nowadays, even girls

>>7462561

Most people who actually know about watches laugh at those big chunky nigger watches.

Only blacks and guidos and other people with no taste wear those horrible tuna cans.

On the other hand, there is such a thing as too small. I wear a 34mm and it's about as small as I'd go.

>>7462561
that tissot watch looks really cool

>>7462437
what strap colors look best with white watch faces/silver trim or black faces/silver trim?

>>7462561

most vintage watches are sized 32-35mm and 34mm was like standard size back in 50s-60s

>>7462587
>disgusting arm hairs

At least comb them

Is this too hard to wear? I love the history aspect of it

>>7462561
Just don't be a faggot.

>>7462739

should I go for both that I listed? They're $74 all-included with no straps, or should I try to swap one of them out for something else?

>>7462791
Not him but yeah i think those are pretty fucking awesome. I'd do it.
