Humble collection. My current watch is the Mondaine.

I have never worn a watch before but I've been thinking about picking a few up and trying it out, compliment some outfits and just to have a watch.
I didn't really know where to start but I picked this watch up as well as a timex weekender.
Opinions? I know, pleb status but I'm just trying to start somewhere.
I'm NOT about to spend some quality dough on something that I really don't know much about just yet.

for picture, see >>7458311

>>7458396

The timex weekender is a classic. Just buy one or two bands for it.

Its really amazing seeing /fa/ get into watches as they are really clueless.

As long as you dont buy designer watches youll be fine. Those guys make cologne and clothes well but certainly not watches.

But the weekender will look good to most people who don't know about watches.

>>7458766

Those are solidly built watches. Wear it with pride.

Really though, how are you finding it? I was debating getting one for a while but decided against it. If they had an all black version I would have.

>>7458374
Ooo mondaine is dope looks like the Swiss train station clocks

>>7458791
love the metal band for the time being
and it's great, easily an eye catcher and a nice combination of style + practicability

>tfw battery just died
Hey, can I just take a quartz watch to any old jeweller to get the battery replaced, or should I send it back overseas to the manufacturer? This is the first time I've had a watch worth maintaining.

>>7458813

>>7458813
yesbutthose batteries only last like a year

>>7458770

Metal bands are autism tier.

>tfw all your friends wear shitty metal banded chunky af watches

There's no watch that can't be improved by a leather or nato strap.

>>7458825
Supermarket baking twine.

>>7458833
Can you get batteries that last longer? What would you recommend? I'd have to ship this thing to the US for a service, which would probably cost a fair bit. It's only like a $400 watch.

This is what chinese watch owners actually believe.

Where do you niggers get your NATO straps from?

>>7458933
>no one wears watches anymore
Are you saying that watches aren't common accessories? If people aren't wearing them to keep track of time, then at least they are accessorizing. At the very, very least a watch can add flavor to your outfit. I could recommend you a few watches that would compliment your goofyninja fit if you'd like.

>unless they're like a patek or JLC and even then ur just impressing other old gay watch nerds
Hey, some luxury pieces are really nice. We get it, you've learned about a few watch brands on /fa/. Pipe down, boner.

>>7459008
That's really cool

Thoughts?

>>7458973
I trust Crown & Buckle, they source some very nice bands. Their prices are very reasonable, and you can find a coupon code somewhere.

>>7458971
>Carefully staged
>I took a picture of it on my wrist

Your irrational fear of our coming chinese overlords is showing.

I'm 1/4 chinese, I would buy a good chinese watch without hesitation.

They're still 10 years out from being japan level. Enjoy your double cheeseburger on a strap.

>>7459073
I won't be buying a new watch for a few months at least, thanks though.

>>7459029
just stop.

>>7459011
Thank you very much!

>>7459097
That IS pretty fucking thick.

>>7459091
The only good Chinese brands I know of are Seagull and Shanghai. There is also Alpha. I can also name a few mushroom brands like Bagelsport and MQJ that make cheap, yet surprisingly decent homages.

Could you list a decent Chinese brand?

>>7458374
The hands on the Mondaine are a mistep, everything else is nice though.

>>7459104

Lenovo

>>7459097
I don't see a problem.

>>7459106
You're pretty funny. Actually, I'm using a Lenovo Z585--and it's a pretty good laptop.

>>7459106
The quality has fallen dramatically in the past few years.

And its a fucking let down considering the quality of IBM

>>7459119
The quality of IBM machines had no fucking chance of making it into modern laptops. I think most Lenovos now are a good compromise apart from the shit keyboards and trackpads.

>>7458850
me personally?
get a battery from a local source
sell it

then buy a new one
realistically best option if you dont want to ship it to the other side of the world

>>7459123

Don't be retarded. Lenovo laptops have some of if not the best keyboards on the market.

My leather band broke at a party and now my grorious mustard rice Seiko SNK809 is gone.

I have a $120 budget. Not a penny more. Requirements: looks good in leather strap, isn't a dive watch, and is from a real watch brand (no fashion brands like calvin klein/gucci allowed). Also big points if it has an automatic movement. What do you recommend?

>>7458958
W2c?

>>7460091

Hmm.. looks suspicious..

>>7460287
knock offs aren't bad if they have an eta 2824 blank in them and you don't mind the politics behind it

but i honestly can't stand the lack of attention to detail, they NEVER get the face miniute marks lined up with the roatating bezel

i mean even seiko gets it right at the $300 level

>>7460481
There's a lot of nice watches out there for $120 or less.

>>7460479
>implying your cock is gilded
That's a knockoff if I've ever seen one. Sieg is a cunt but he's right, that bezel isn't aligned. Probably weighs as much as a brick as well.

What does /fa/ think about this?

>>7460844
The Submariner and SKX look different if you look at the obvious details like the hands, bezel, and bracelet. But if you want to lump all dive watches as Submariner homages, then that's fine with me.

You also seem to be upset about people wearing watches. If you don't like them, fine. More power to you, m8. But if you are saying that "almost nobody" wears watches, you are absolutely wrong. Watches are one of the most common accessories out there, and you can see them on men and women. If you are saying that almost nobody wears them, then I wonder if you ever go outside.

And yes, most electronic devices tell the time right down to the millisecond. We get it. Thank you, Mr. Utilitarian.

>>7465094
>And yes, most electronic devices tell the time right down to the millisecond.

But that's wrong, the security system at work and the phone system and the NTP server are all out of sync by a minute or two all the time. I've brought this to people's attention but apparently this isn't important.

>mfw my 70 year old watch is more correct than half the electronic devices at work

>>7459008
damn, is that vintage tier? It looks great. How thick is it?

>>7465245
>mfw my 70 year old watch is more correct than half the electronic devices at work

If this is true, then you either have excellent watchmaking abilities, or you need to thank your local watchmaker.

>>7459008
w2c?

>>7465245
>the security system at work and the phone system and the NTP server are all out of sync by a minute or two all the time.

this is the fault of the people who set the time, not the clocks themselves. they're still more accurate and more precise than your watch which needs to be adjusted regularly.

NOBODY NEEDS A WATCH

>>7465932

no i actually wear this old casio watch. its metal and kinda pinches sometimes. my clothes arent very nice either as i mainly wear gap.

i really wanted to point out that all of this, watches, clothes, fitness, videogames, arent really needed.

p.s. i do have a champion sweatshirt but I only wear it when im sick. it is very warm.

Bought this citizen watch in NYC a couple years ago. It's not on the citizen website, not on ebay, nowhere to be found. It looks similar to some that citizen has now but it has many more features

How do I know what the value is if I try to sell it?

>>7465969
sorry for outrageous file size, forgot to resize it

>>7459008
It's a fake. It never existed in USSR.

>>7465960
Hey, congrats on the flag watch. I really like it.

Since both watches have white background, a chestnut brown watch strap will match. In leather, of course. A quick search pulls this up:
>http://www.amazon.com/Hadley-Roma-MSM881RAC-180-18-mm-Oil-Tan-Leather/dp/B001F0PTM8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387777278&sr=8-1&keywords=hadley+roma+chestnut

You can find this for cheaper. Hadley Roma makes good aftermarket straps. If you want a NATO go to Crown & Buckle. For your watches, though, I highly recommend a leather strap in brown.

That's a very ugly watch, son. Sell it and get something new.

ugh fuck I got jewed for buying it for $500...

>>7466010
The markup prices for brick-and-mortar stores are criminal. As a rule of thumb, you gotta do some research, brah.

You could very easily sell it on eBay, for maybe $100? Try it out.

>>7466017
Yeah I was young and naive, just out looking for a watch.

If I sold it for ~$150, what could be some other black watch to replace it with? I need one that's all black for a specific reason

>>7466017
>$100
no way

$45 shipped if it has box and paper work + extra links and it will take a month to get rid of

>>7466036
sounds like I'd just be best off keeping it then

my (loosely) movie-based watches

>>7466039

Its not that bad looking. And I think the sieg guy was over exaggerating, you would probably get a little less then $100 for it.

I say keep it though. Once you save up enough money to buy a nicer one then youll have another for your collection!

>>7466048
Yeah I have some other watches coming my way. Oh well I learned from my mistake, and I guess I can still use this for when I need an all-black watch

>>7466463
This is what I've been told. Honestly, if I had the money to not think twice about buying a $5,000 watch, that wouldn't matter to me. If anybody knows of anything that looks similar but is closer to the $200 range or lower, let me know.

>>7457937
this watch is pretty much "the correct answer"

>>7466263
>This model from the USSR. If you search, you can buy with the inscription "Сделано в СССР"(Made in USSR)

"Сделано в России" (Made in Russia) means post-USSR. All USSR-time products were marked as produced in USSR regardless of location within the Union.

>>7458007

But my dirigible HAD flown around the globe! I need that GMT hand!

>>7466657
I mean, if you want to buy a watch with the inscription "Сделано в СССР" it is necessary to look for second hand watches on ebay, etc.
All modern Russian watches, of course, labeled as "Made in Russia".

>>7466511
Trust me, if you had 5K to spend on a watch, you'd look and think much more than twice.

It took me 3 months and a shit load of watches and hands on experience before I bought my IWC

for $200 though I think there is a lot of choice for pilot esque watches... I jsut don't know which ones...

>>7466703
If I had $5k to spend on anything, I probably wouldn't spend $5k. IWC makes some pretty nice stuff. I can't think of anything around that range either, but I'm positive stuff exists.

>>7466713
lol what would you spend?

I've actually seen stuff like 200 posted before but I don't note them since I have a watch in that range and it's a diving beater (casio)

By all means keep it as a memento of good times, but to me they make me think of jobless teenagers with no prospects in life when I see people wearing them outside of a festival. Whatever you feel is true to yourself tho man.. if you feel better wearing them then by all means.

>but to me they make me think of jobless teenagers with no prospects in life
Hit the nail on the head.
The novelty of them has started to wear off though, so who knows, I might cut them off and pin them to my bulletin board or something. We'll see.

>Whatever you feel is true to yourself tho man.. if you feel better wearing them then by all means.
Cheers m8, you're super reasonable.

i want to die

anyone have look alikes

>>7469068
I know, right? Watches are for people who wear fedoras. Also a watch is a sign of virginity and erectile dysfunction.

>>7466189
this is incredibly similar to my seiko 5

>>7467109
i have two longines similar to this i really like it

Movado is my daily watch till a week when I submit my aplication for a Ulysse Nardin turbillion watch I'm so exited fa

>>7472333

I have the same movado but in black. The silver is surprisingly not ostentatious. My link pins keep loosening. For the money it seems rather chintzy.

>>7472376
i know what you mean when i bought it it seemed like a decent deal but as i kept it i lost my faith on it however its all going to be irrelevant in a week as i step into another tier of watches and will never buy a movado ever again lol

>>7472384
I cringe as I keep seeing their commercial on TV. I can't help but think their trademark dial design is fucking ugly.

>>7472384

Definitely. Well, being /fa/ is a never ending learning experience. Some day I'll be worthy of my grail.

>>7472398
i love it im getting this one

>>7472423
...different strokes

>>7466189
Don't like the lug

Old photo but nothing has changed. Golden Poljet, gift from grandfather.

>>7472423
That really is ugly, not to mention tacky.

>>7458287
hey nzbro, i have one of those, they're great

Wearing this

>>7469169
No you can just take this to a jeweler or watchmaker. I'd recommend Hirsch or Riot Bands i payed about 35 Euro for mine.

is there anything more stylish and elegant than this classy watch?

>>7472800
This watch is hideous, it would only fit in some goth ninja fit

>>7473057
exactly

>>7473026
Epitome of /fa/
Where to cop

I'm the one purchasing these two watches. But I know fuck all about watch bands and I'd probably end up getting a brown that looks shitty etc

I was recommended a brown leather strap, is there any one in specific that you guys think would look the best that I could use as a reference? There are so many types of brown leather bands and I don't want to fuck up

captcha: special anxiety how fitting

>>7473984
whats it like to have shit taste?

>>7473993
thanks for the constructive comment m8 you're a great trip

>>7473984
Hey, I'm the guy that recommended a brown leather band.

First of all, what is the lug width? 18mm? Check it out first.

Second of all, get something simple. The case style for those watches are simple. Get something simple in turn. Personally, I would stay away from most pebbled leather bands. But that's just a matter of taste.

Here's a Speidel, another good aftermarket brand. This one's in 18mm and pebbled, see if you like it:

This one's in the padded style:

See how simple these are? You're overthinking things, man. Just calm the fuck down.

>>7474012
How easy are the straps to change? If it's really easy I could probably get away with just getting one, right?

>>7474044
They are a bitch to change if you don't have a spring bar tool. I changed mine last night without. Fingers hurt afterward, took a lot of time.

>>7474044
>>7474058
That's why you spend $1 on a springbar tool on ebay. It takes less than a minute to swap out a strap with the right tools.

>>7474058
You can use a knife, or do what I did and use a set of keys

just got this one
am I /fa/ yet?

>>7472333
i got my dad that same bulova watch 2 years ago for his birthday

Here's some story on this watch, and I'd like some opinions

It's my grandfather's, but it was a gift from an EXTREMELY rich friend of his that lives in Thailand (probably one of the 20 richest men in the country). The man only had 2000 of these watches produced by Seiko and then paid them to never produce it again, and he gave out the watches to his friends and sold some to collectors.

I really have no idea how to appraise this watch. The back says "Seiko No 1885/2000" and something like "Premier edition." Thoughts?

>>7476168
Really neat.

>>7476168
Looks stupid.

>>7476168
Kind of ugly to be honest. The dial does not match the case at all, sort of like a very old diver watch case but with some grocery store alarm clock stuffed in. I'm sure it has some value though so you should hold on to it, maybe take it to a knowledgeable watchmaker who might know more and service it for you.

>>7476168
Looks like some ugly steampunk shit, but if the story is true that is cool. 2000 doesn't sound that limited comparatively, however.

>>7473993
It's a lot like using sieg's trip.

>>7458933
>they wont impress anyone unless
>>7460844
>do u honestly think people from a few feet away are going to know the difference between

>thinks wearing a watch is soley for impressing others

sure is angsty teenager in here.

>>7478326
a seiko diver looks nothing like a rolex sub

so yes

Simple watch, everyday wear.

I want the Longines L4.512.4.11.6 for formal wear, since it's also very simplistic and elegant. I find a lot of watches to be too bulky. It's not something I can afford now though.

anybody know of any thin and simple watches?

>>7478419

>>7479983
Michel Herbelin Newport Yacht Club 12266/T35.

I like boats

So uh... Got this for Christmas. I don't know shit about the brand, but I know the watch itself isn't anything spectacular.

>>7469100

Yeah, this. Mine ran +7 for two years from the time I bought it until the time I sold it for more than I paid. I miss my SKX0007... :-(

>>7480432
I replaced my somewhat beat-up F-105W with an F-91W. I have to say I prefer the 105; it's pretty much an F-91W with a better backlight. Not as /fa/ though because no terrorist cred.
