Did HMT even make watches back when they used radium? Even if they did, the watch would look much older with visible patina.
Looks like an amateur just put some modern lume on a modern watch themselves. If you did purchase it, it's easy enough to file a claim that the item is not as described.
Just look for some pre-1960's watches if you really want radium

Just got a job and I kind of want a digital watch so I can keep track of time easier.. Cheap sturdy suggestions? <$50

>>8301167
Casio G-Shock 5600
There's a bunch of different kinds, more sturdy than the F-91W and less tryhard as well as cheaper than the other G-Shocks.

>>8301220

Because wearing a camo watch with a negative display will not make you look like a tryhard mallninja at all.
The classic DW5600 is a good recommendation though.

From left to right

>The stealthy aesthetics and sturdy build of this swiss army watch will ensure my survival in the harshest of conditions. Should I ever be in a SHTF scenario, this would be my go to watch. With its completely understated and stealthy appearance, it would not give me away when I am engaging in covert ops.

>I need a watch to reflect my sophistication. This watch will do, with its intricate and complex mechanism on display for everyone to see. Perhaps they will draw parallels between the complexity of the watch and complexity of my mind? Unlike my peers, I do appreciate the finer things in life.

> Swag is for boys, class is for gentleman. From the sleek polished black case to the silver roman numerals, this watch is the horological equivalent of a katana. It is sharp. It perfectly compliments my tuxedo when mingling with high society. One only needs to see the subtle Armani logo peeking underneath my shirt cuff to recognise me as a man of taste.

>I work hard but I also play hard. Nothing says leisure and luxury better than a Daytona. This Invicta homage is mechanical just like a Rolex, but unlike the Rolex, I am not paying thousands and thousands of dollars for brand name and marketing. In fact I am very good at getting the most value from my money, this watch was reduced from $1,999 to $199 on Amazon!

>Men were men back in day. They wore suits, hats and treated a woman with respect. This watch kind of reminds me of that time period, with the masculine shape of its dial. I saw Don Draper wear a watch like this. However I am all about practicality and felt I didn't have enough chronographs, so added one more.

>I have no taste

Do names such as this validate your masculinity? What is the this timepiece avenging? Whyy would a wolf carry the same clout in the sea as it would on land?

>>8301956
Nobody has any reason to be jelly of a Breitling manchild.

>>8301970
>>8301956
lol, why would I be? If I had to I'd rather wear a shitty but tasteful Tissot with a 2842-2 movement than a Breitling.

I don't like the watch and he is after all a glorified bus driver.

Anyhow, I was just critizing that he implyed it was hard to take a picture of your wrist in a cockpit.

>>8301981
>>8301973

true. im just a glorified bus driver, driving a glorified bus, crewed with glorified waitresses, on a glorified road.

>>8302100

>I'm a pleb and damn proud of it
Saying silly things like that might make you feel like you can deflect criticism but it only serves to solidify your manchild status.

>Breitling till I die
If you are content with overpriced ETA movements in a watch marketed to the mid-life crises demographic, then who are we to judge.

>>8302100
>the miners I fly up to their mining sites earn 4x the amount I do and most of them are only fresh out of high school.

And now transferring that back to your situation, I'm willing to bet that especially on short distances your passengers (even those fresh out of University) are actually making at least twice what you do, while wearing much more tasteful watches.

Stop trying so hard, you are in the service industry and employed. If we had more trust in electronics you would already be obsolete. Can't really modern planes even land on their own?

At least we actually do need bus drivers for at least another 20 years.

>>8302173
>>8302179

ok. let's see your watch then :)

>>8301873
Just read up on this watch. I am not sure I completely agree on the look of this timepiece, but its functions are fairly impressive. Seems more useful to a frequent traveler than some god forsaken ETA chronograph.

I just posted about my speedy. Curious as to what /fa/ thinks. I'd like to get a Superocean Abyss

>>8299336
there is always so much god damn fedora tipping in watch threads its ridiculous. in waywt ppl rarely ever wear watches. watch threads should be put on a moratorium

>>8301932
You are almost as pathetic as that guy who posts his watch on his odd looking desk, in hopes he gets asked about it and can show his battlestation.

See, you could just have posted your fucking watch, but you needed to derail the thread. You even made a point of having to uncomfortably photograph it, just to get the gizmos into the picture.

>>8302173

Then what's a better alternative to the Navitimer?

>>8302188
Sorry, but I really don't want any of my watches to have any sort of connotation here to this bullshit. You are right, I'm just jelly apparently.

>>8302205
gaudy af
but i bet it will nicely compliment your armani exchange tee u got at nordstrom rack and the knock off true religion jeans u got at tj maxx

>>8302173

>content with overpriced ETA movements

a casio g-shock will do everything my breitling aerospace superquartz movement does but better. there's no logic to it mate. everything in the luxury watch market is going to be overpriced.

>If we had more trust in electronics you would already be obsolete. Can't really modern planes even land on their own?

why are there even bank tellers when there are already ATMs and internet banking?

human input is always going to be necessary.

>>8302224

>implying true religion wearers would even know what a Speedmaster is

>>8302188
Firstly, the two replies that you have lumped together were written by myself and someone else equally disgusted with your wanting taste and your inability to recognise your own gaudy taste.

Secondly, my watches (or perhaps lack of) bear no reflection on the initial criticisms about your overpriced hunk of trash. I could own a Casio and those criticisms would still be valid. I understand that you feel vulnerable after your juvenile outburst and now seek to put the other person on the defensive, but its a transparent strategy at best.

>>8302212
At least that desk was nowhere in sight when he posted the Patek. I would prefer he traded his Patek for a Lange with a cleaner dial.

>>8302220
Classic Speedmaster with Hesalite crystal. Reasonably priced. Zenith make acceptable chronographs from what I hear

>>8302236

No, I mean a slide rule pilot watch, not any chronograph. Same looks and functionality as the Navitimer but not overpriced as you sat.

>>8302202
Yes because you don't need a stupid radio signal, to set accurate time daily, but I'm also not sold on the looks. Yet I'd get it just out of convenience if I were traveling across timezones much.

>>8302225
>everything in the luxury watch market is going to be overpriced.
While that is true, you typically get movements that cost more than $200 to produce.

>>8302230
>damage control

>>8302236

>>8302247

It's not my watch, but I can appreciate a good Speedmaster.

What is the deal with the influx of these Breitling fanboys? Is this just one person samefagging as different people or was there recent marketing push I am unaware of?

>>8302268

I'll keep asking, what's a legitimate alternative to the Navitimer since apparently Breitling is shit?

>>8302282

iwc pilot chronograph. but I'm selling mine for a breitling Navitimer.

>>8302297

not a slide rule

recent pic. just my iwc and breitling side by side.

>>8302312

I'm thinking maybe citizen blue angel edition then?

I'd go navitimer 01 all the way. that 10,000AUD price tag tho

>>8302240
>>8302282

Have you checked Seiko's range? Are they functionally different from the Navitimer? Tag also do a pilot watch but tag is as bad as Breitling for marking up ETA movements you could find on a $500 watch

>>8302282
patek philippe

>>8302322
>>8302329

Not automatic, not Swiss (don't care about that as much).

The SNA413 is the poor man's Navitimer, but I want a Swiss auto that's not "overpriced" like the Navitimer.

>>8302224
wouldn't that make all chronos gaudy as fuck?

>>8302343

but you can buy navitimers on ebay for around 6500 now. I guess if you have PayPal buyer protection and know what you're looking for you can score yourself a good deal.

>>8301932

Hey is that a simulator or the real thing? Looks like a 737 setup.

>>8302357

You can get one from an AD for that price.

>>8302312
>Find me a watch which is exactly a navitimer including all useless complications, but is not a navitimer

What the fuck do you need a slide rule for? If you want to calculate shit on your watch get a fucking casio databank. Any calculation possible with a slide rule you should be able to do by head in the same time.

I just sold this. '90s Citizen Navihawk World Time Thunderbirds Edition. The interface was 2fussy4me but it was fun watching the hands dance around when you changed time zones.

>>8302405

Aesthetics, dumbass

>>8302411
>aesthetics
Wanting a slide rule for anything other than functional reasons makes you the dumbass here. A busy dial is usually an eye sore. It requires a lot of balance to get aesthetics and a busy dial to come together in a single watch, and the navitimer does not nail it. If you want a navi for functionality, at least your shitty excuse is somewhat plausible. But for aesthetics? LOL. Also any appeal the dial may have had is ruined by the ugly "B" on the second hand. Talk about trying too hard.

>>8302411
>Wanting a breitling for its aesthetics
toppest of keks

Look at this motherfuckin IWC >>8302297
You can't be telling me that you prefer the look of the breitling over this beautiful piece

>>8302446

You guys kill me. Do you know how many people buy $5000+ watches based on looks alone?

And yeah, I do prefer the look of the Navitimer over that IWC. Deal with it.

>>8302446
that shit is fucking ugly

aesthetics > functionality

captcha: told lecordsi

>>8302460
>Everyone does it, therefore it makes sense
No

>>8302460

>do you know how many people
Appealing to authority doesn't make you any less stupid.

>$5000+
Most watches in that range have reasonably finished in-house movements. Breitling either have ETA movements (a joke at that price) or their pedestrian in house calibre. You can get better finished movements from Omega at that price, and thats saying something.

>Deal with it
The only person who will have to deal with your plebeian taste is yourself. The rest of us just find it amusing.

to be fair that collection is atrocious. From left to right:

A G-Shock without the advantage of being legible at least.
The white one looks like it was a giveaway some day
I hate Fossil so much, it's a terrible terrible brand.
The last one makes me think you don't value legibility at all and the bezel looks so ugly.

I'd rather be a hipster and wear this >>8301778 over each and every one. And that is like a $10 (?) watch

>>8303365
Oh man. You hate fossil? What, you like Rolex don't you?

I just bought this. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

>>8303384
>Oh man. You hate fossil? What, you like Rolex don't you?

Of course, I appreciate every watch with an in-house movement.

Currently I'm learning to appreciate Seiko, also I'm really conflicted about the Citizen Chronomaster.

If it's any consolation, I hate Nixon for much the same reason (to a lesser degree). Fossil has nothing to do with watchmaking and really shouldn't have to do anything with it.

And no I'm not snobbing your watches. Sell all that crap and get a Swatch or entry level Seiko

>>8303365

W-What's wrong with fossil

>>8303421
See right above your post. It's a fashion brand, which buys crap movements, puts it in shiny cheaply produced cases and then sells that abomination at 500% the value.

And yeah it's still cheap, think about that for a while.

Automatic.

>>8303567
oh wow you are a huge pleb.

The Citizen Chronomaster with A660 movement is probably the most precise Quartz watch on the planet. That's max +-5 sec/year.

The Grand Seiko (domestic) finishing is as good as it gets. You won't find any stainless steel cases with the same lasting finishing in any other watch, even those 30.000€ zebras included. Also every GS is assembled and finished by hand, the quartz crystals are self grown, aged and observed for months, the spring drive is the only true innovation we've had in years and the power reserve in the GS automatics is huuuge. There's also the Astron, which has a ton of patents into it to set time everywhere on the world without radio signals, it uses three times less power than any other GPS receiver on the planet. Oh and the real Astron, which was the first production Quartz watch ever.
Deal with it Seiko is the only watch company, that actually innovates this century.

Oh and if all of that isn't enough for you, Credor is Seiko and they make 500.000€ watches.

The picture is fine, its the watches that are bad.
The G-shock looks like someone at casio based a design of the kind of doodles 12 year olds do when they are bored.
Fossil looking ugly and try-hard as always.
The Adidas might look passable on an adolescent wearing a hoody, so wear that if you are an urban youth/negro.

>>8303388
A good buy if you have hipster friends. If you want to tell the time you have goofed.

nice rep

Keep saving for a Portuguese, or get a Speedmaster or Navitimer?

>>8309943

I think the portugese is amazing in black or white dial. not a fan of the blue dial. they retail at around 8-9000AUD and look good in a suit.

speedmasters make good tool watches but i'm not a fan of the bracelet. imo has that old man look but it still a classic, so you cant really go wrong. 5-6000AUD

navitimer 01 is also a classic and is now inhouse movement. about 9-10,000 if you like the busy dial and pilot look.

>>8309943
Portuguese.
The hand wounds are p cheap.

>>8308171
I'm jelly. Only a brand like PP would have the propensity to pull off a modern-classic watch like that without shiny as fuck applied indices.

you can get a speedy auto for like 1200 and keep saving for a portugese in the meantime.
you don't need a Navitimer

Watch bands, /fa/.

Hirsch or Hadley-Roma? I'm looking at two more-or-less identical thick brown cowhide bands for my Evo, reviews on both say they're solid.

>>8310405
Hirsch. No particular reason, but I have read more praise for their straps than Hadley-Roma.
Is that watch on your wrist? Because from that angle it looks too big for you, the lugs appear to be hanging over your wrist.

>>8310453
The curse of baby wrists. It's a 35mm, pretty much all watches look big on me.

>>8310465
wow those are babby wrists
on the bright side, vintage watches in 34-38mm will look perfect

>>8310481

I figure by 27 my metabolism will slow and I'll put on a few pounds so I can actually wear something nice

totally in love with the swiss rail design though, I'd get that 58 second sweep Mondaine if it wasn't fuckhuge on me

>>8310465
dw I have babby wrists and have the big face mondaine. It looks ridiculous.

>>8310495
Are you the anon that's always posting it? I love the lugless look, but again, size

>>8310501
yeah, I know they have a slightly smaller women's one that still has the lugless design, may wanna look into that

>>8310465
>>8310495
I mean, it could be worse. I was kind of forced to buy it off my brother

>>8310502
Naw, I only got this a few weeks ago. I think the 38mm is the way to go, but my brother bought this because it was cheaper, then gave it to me, then needed money.

>>8310510
Ah. I didn't know Mondaines were that popular here. I really dig the minimal vibe.

>>8310518
They're acknowledged, but I think only a few people have them here and they're the same people who post in watch threads. I do like the clean look tho.

>>8309806
good rep

>>8310501
good

>>8309943
The portugese is the watch that made you start saving up, so stick with it and buy it. Nothing you buy will really match up to in your head, unless your tastes dramatically change or you buy a more expensive model.

>>8309806
>>8309855
>rep
You mean fake? A replica would imply that the original aesthetic of the Daytona was recreated. This model has got the dial proportions wrong, and the sub-standard finish of the case complements the fat, past and pale wrist it sits on.

>>8310465
That picture makes it look better. To be fair Mondaine always seem to look big on wrists, they have a very eye-catching aesthetic. It's size is not an issue if you co-ordinate it with your outfit.

>>8310481

>>8311882
Okay trolling and maymay's aside, serious questions.

1.Why did you buy a fake
2. Do you get worried that people will spot it? If yes or no, why
3. Do you tell people its real
4. Do you have standards when it comes to fakes? For example higher end fakes have ETA movements
5. Why not buy a watch with similar aesthetic but sterile dial or by a legit company

I would appreciate the insight, thanks.

The Hadley-Roma gator band I was looking at came in, had a fun chat with my local watch guy.

>>8317083
and somehow this band makes my watch look less oversized

>>8316401
i want to get it because it's the nomos without the name, but i feel weird about it. watch is nice as fuck too

i'm kinda conflicted right now about it

Owners of watches that cost upwards of $1000

Do you ever feel weird wearing them? Especially when on public transportation?

>>8317334
>nomos without the name
This kind of fedora argument doesn't stand up in the real world. A nomos without the name would be a watch with excellent in house movement at a reasonable price. People do not pay a premium for a brand name for nomos as they do with companies like rolex.

>>8321207

i would happily ask the person who gifted me that watch where they got it from, and immediately find out if they accept returns without receipts

>>8327017
How about this one? I want a entry-level Swiss everyday watch that's made of metal or should I buy a fake luxury watch?

>>8327129
dont buy swatch

>tfw best watch in existence
>tfw I will never afford it

Ever since I got it, I'm really interested in watches.

I think I want a Citizen Grand Classic or Touring next. Just afraid that they might be too big and I can't just return them since I would have to import them.
They seem to have great value though:
curved sapphire crystal, a sapphire crystal for the back, decorated movement, 28.800 bph, hand finished, people generally getting +-1 sec a day and I generally like the design.

So this watch is 38mm diameter, the Citizens would be 42mm. Will the Citizens be too big for me?

>>8327475
so this? (I don't like it has a blank crown though)

>>8327479

>>8329024

Thinking about copping this. Going for a techwear look. The F91W looks too small on my wrist (30mm case diameter versus 40mm for this one) and I much prefer this design anyway.

Thoughts? Any other alternatives within the same price range?

>>8329476
>techwear
You mean a 'trendy' flaming fucking faggot? Then yup, go for it!

>>8329584
I dont get this, isnt the point of /fa/ is to be trendy?

If I'm wrong I'll just excuse myself back to /o/.

>>8329584
Techwear seems to be the least faggoty of all the stereotypical ways to dress (dadcore/gothninja/tumblrcore/etc). Techwear is also very broad. Anything that has increased functionality as clothing because of some innovation or technological implementation can be considered techwear so Merino wool can be techwear.

>>8329607
Mindlessly jumping onto trends is not /fa/. Being conformist is not /fa/. It implies a lack of any substantial understanding of fashion.

The point of /fa/ (ideally) is interesting and aesthetic self-expression through clothing.

>>8299935
ii just fucking barfed

>>8302205
>speedy
>auto, not manual wind

ya fucked up kid

I work as a nurse, and want a useful watch.
People keep saying "F-91W"
Are they being trolls and trying to bait into hipster stuff? It seems to have rave reviews and it looks pretty useful.

Any help would be great.

>>8329616
>Merino wool can be techwear.
nigga, you know damn well that's not the techwear that is being referred to here.

>>8329627
>interesting and aesthetic self-expression through clothing.
do you honestly think the people HERE asking about tech wear are the fashionable ones? i dont believe you believe that. there's nothing wrong with self-expression, but it wont always look good. them tacticool watches are as shit-tier as the humongous pants those goth people wear, or the running sneakers and walmart jeans white people wear on a daily basis

What does that even mean?

I love this watch, cant seem to find what the model is called tho even when i google the serial number

>>8322930
Thanks, that is a Hanowa. Here's a better pic of it.

How far up your wrist should you wear your watch?

I've already googled my answer but what is /fa/'s thoughts.

>>8334869
Right where it is in the pic is where I usually wear it. I wear it a bit loose so as to allow movement and prevent scratches from minor bumps.

>>8334869
Enough that you can raise your hand to form a 90 degree angle with your arm without the watch obstructing it.

>>8334869
Personal choice.

I wear mine as close to my hand as possible. Some of my friends wear it practically halfway between the elbow and hand.

>>8330145
They are right.

Resin bands are the best for doctors and nurses as blood stains are easy to clean.

leather or NATO's are a mess after a few months and metal usually builds up grime in small places.

an analog casio (with a hand for seconds) is also OK.

I mean that does look alright, maybe I'm just being neurotic.

>>8338017
you're a retard
your watch isnt better than LE HISPTEER XDD shit, and where is that coming from anyways?

>>8338055
I've heard multiple people make the connection in my city.

I didn't imply that it was better?

>>8338055
I just posted the casios. I like them because they look utilitarian. I use mine when I'm working and sometimes I will scratch or break something. I like the look and the fact they can be disposable. The MQ24-7E is like a 15 dollar or under watch. I also have a AMW320R-1EV. It's a more solid, nicer watch but still inexpensive at like 70 bucks.

>>8338071
to be fair the connection is made more with the F-91W model

>>8337948
Swatch. Because I friggen love how a Swiss quartz watch ticks than an Asian one ticks when you put it against your ear.

If you get afford to get the metal cased versions then get those instead.
