Wow... Nice watch... Who'd have thunk it, a good Timex.

pretty cheap so you might not want to cop if you're addicted to spending decent amounts of money

>>8401918
crown is a little small
other than that, the watch is aesthetically perfect

What's the highest price /fa/ would pay for a watch?

>>8401986
right now? as a 24 year old earning ~35K living out of home
about $1,000

once I get a job in my qualified field that pays 60-75K that number will likely go up to 3,000
the only thing that could get me to spend more than that on a watch would be some kind of commemorative special occasion piece (first child, 50th birthday etc)

but that's just me, and I really like watches. I only come on /fa/ for watch threads and shitposting

>>8401918
I actually had that watch. It fell apart after a year and half, but I was using it at work, out hiking, playing soccer, etc., knocking it around. Only drawback is that it ticked loud as fuck, though that is easily ignorable imo.

>>8401986
as a poorfag, $200. there are a few Tissots on Amazon i'd consider springing for in the $200-400 range.

I want to buy a watch to celebrate my graduation, and sadly I'm not yet in the position to purchase >>8401879

>>8403758
You can afford Junkers. 200€ - simple quartz, 250€ - chrono quartz, 400€ - japan automatic, 450€ - swiss automatic.

>>8403758

I believe this has been confirmed for a low-end quartz watch with no water resistance and basic movement that retails for 400% of what it should retail for. I would buy an old russian watch off ebay, a vintage mechanical off ebay or perhaps a chinese replica or homage in the same price-range.

It's a steal nonetheless. Most vintage chronos with lemania, venus or valjoux movements that look like this one cost 2000$+.

I've decided to upgrade to the Stop2Go model as a graduation present to myself next year, mostly because I can't find a cheap used Grand Seiko.

May my baby wrists grow to fit in the meantime

So I've been pondering... I think I will get a 10 year old watch for about 1.5k €. How much is servicing going to run me, assuming it needs every wear part new?

>>8408375
Depends, make/model?

>>8408381
I wanted to avoid discussion about the watch itself. Omega Seamaster 300M

>>8408375
>assuming it needs every worn part new
Uh...unless the previous owner is an idiot who let water get inside it and didn't do anything about (which I doubt), routine service should not require replacement of many, if any, parts. They might charge a bit more for service considering the brand, but I wouldn't be too concerned about it since you're already considering paying 1.5k for a decade-old watch.

>>8408392
Seamaster maintenance isn't too expensive, you'll be fine!

>>8408392

Armari watches are shitty fashion watches I wouldn't buy, but

>You know you are paying 200$ for a 50$ watch right?

With Seiko 5 you are paying 90$ for 20$ watch
With Rolex you are paying 5000$ for 500$ watch
With Patek you are paying 30,000$ for 1000$ watch
etc

Just saying that watches are luxury items you can't justify with price, you are not buying a wrench here. Also things like marketing eats at a big chunk.

>>8415112

>etc

>being this retarded

>>8416399

He's partially correct. The more a watch costs for its retail price, the more inefficiently it has been manufactured. I would suspect that a large portion of a luxury watches manufacturing process has been budgeted for the labour of highly skilled specialist workers for quality control processes.

Unfortunately, these are largely unnecessary and inefficient means of production to justify a higher end-product retail price and a respective higher percentage of profit margin attached to said product or service.

Utilizing highly technological machinery could produce, assemble and finish luxury brand watches at greater speed and efficiency than the circle-jerked expects sitting on stools for hours a day - and a $10 screw which luxury manufacturers may use would not have a greater tensile or shear strength over a $0.5 screw. Assuming 20% profit margin on your overall product though, that's comparing $2 to $0.1

It's a pretty common consensus among watch people that Invictas are crap. Also their hoax RRP's they pulled out of thin air while having literally all their watches everywhere in 80% "discount", trying to trick customers to impulse buy them thinking they are getting a great deal, are generally frowned upon.

I agree with this

also while Tiffany is ok, it's not exactly the best brand for watches.

Sorry for potato quality.
Didn't pay full price for Armani got it more than half off, otherwise wouldn't have got.
Seiko was free.

>>8417034
Invictas - justifiably - get a lot of hate. However, this watch switched to a NH35A movement a few years ago and is actually an amazing deal. If you're not willing to spend more for the sub look, it's the best there is. A hacking, hand-winding automatic movement for $80 is a steal. It is the one worth Invicta watch there is.

That said, the things like Steinhart that people mention get great reviews. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

Reviews don't matter because they could easily be written by an 87IQ pleb. The Ikea site is filled with 23 year old women too stupid to put together a shelf. All slim fit clothing has a review from a fat guy saying it was too small, giving it one star. Reviews are not to be trusted. I'll bet half the seiko 5 reviews about it stopping running are by people who don't understand what automatic means and didn't wear it enough to wind it.

People are fucking retarded.

Is 7,6 inch wrist normal?

>>8403739
Own both types for a while and youll understand, pic related is thinner and more robust than auto version

>>8420334
Also accurate to 60 seconds per year is pretty nice and can change timezones without losing time

>>8420334
This, I have both too and with a quartz you can just put it on and you are good to go. An automatic you always have to set first.

Also I love that watch. It's sad Omega has done away with the wave pattern though. Is that the full size?

>>8420202
Yes and it's more on the thick side of things. My wrists are between 6''5' and 7''. Asians have oftentimes even 6''. That being said I don't like the clown size watches these days anyway. Old Rolex models were only 36mm diameter as well and for me about 38mm is about the sweet spot. That being said if you have like 8'' wrists it's totally fine to rock a 42mm watch.

>>8420837
Thank you

getting a watch bought for me for a special occasion looking at downwards of around 4k, looking at calibre 16 tag heuer any recommendations similar style? around that price

>>8420202

It really depends. I'm sitting on a 6.75 wrist at 15% bodyfat and a relatively overall skinny physique. Dropping my bodyfat percentage could probably drop me down to a bare wrist minimum of approximately 6.5 inches. On a Rodina for example, i'm sitting on the 4th hole out of 7 - and the 38 diameter face fits really well given my wrist size.

Some people genetically have larger limb structures, and could hit over 7 inches easy. I don't think it's fair to say that 7.6 inches is normal just because you've got a bodyfat circumference of over an inch stored round your wrist - you're either built with a large wrist circumference or you're left short a little.

>>8420837
Full size confirmed
Watch is from '07 when I bought the watch dealer told me get fullsize as midsize was for asian 110 lbs dripping wet customers, ok.jpg, in retrospect i'm fine with fullsize despite skinny wrists its sooooooo easy to read at a glance

Any sub omega tier wristwatch i would get smaller than this 41mm, for more expensive watches sizing is a judgement call imo

if you have no watch xp youre going to want a size thats a little too small because you have no confidence

>>8420202
someone posted a watch that looked a lot like this but had a felt strap or something. Does anyone remember? It was sold on a website that only sold 4 designs of that watch, it was that companies only product and it was about $150 I think. (Sorry I know that is basically nothing to go on, im just desperate)

>>8421701
If you get it, see that you get the water resistence checked. Afaik the Geneve had only 3bar to begin with, which by now might equate to no WR at all. It's about 15€ and you get a certificate.

>>8420837
>always have to set
If you're wearing your watch with any sort of regularity you should not have to keep on setting it. Especially at the price range and quality that you're alluding to with your Seamaster. Accuracy/variance per day is usually pretty small once you're hitting that level, too.

Everyone knows what advantages quartz has, but, honestly, if you're spending that kind of money, I don't know why you would get a quartz watch. The quartz movement inside costs almost nothing -- you're paying out the ass for something that should be way cheaper (and watches of all sorts are already overpriced nowadays in the price bubble we're in).

I'm (stereotypically, considering what we're discussing) a fan of the engineering and history behind mechanical watches. In a day and age where you can get precisely accurate time from your smart phone I don't know why people think that there is an argument for true quartz superiority unless you really need it for what you do (i.e., commercial diving). If you're wearing a watch it's to appreciate what it is, otherwise you're better off going cheaper.

Just my opinion, though. As long as you like what you buy, that's what matters.

>>8422641
Good post
I would like to point out that the seamaster, which is actually a dive watch, is a little more appropriate in quartz than other watch styles would be

>>8422662
The "lol technicality" argument would be that your battery will randomly die that one time (I chuckle when I see people say this: it's technically true, but c'mon).

While I can see what you mean, a mechanical in that range (well, honestly, any range unless it's broken) will be perfectly accurate during the time interval that you are diving. On top of that, anything that would stop your watch would stop BOTH quartz and mechanical (mainly water leakage from forgetting to secure the crown).

There isn't really a practical difference in that scenario. If you're a hardcore/commercial diver then you have specialized equipment for all of that, anyways.

>>8422662
>>8422686
Actually, I think I might be slightly incorrect. I would actually expect the water to stop the quartz movement before the mechanical one simply because quartz uses electricity. If water gets in your watch you're likely fucked either way, but it shouldn't brick a mechanical immediately unless there's a confluence of factors (or just some extreme situation).

>>8422641
I'm not a watch enthusiast, I like to set and forget. At the same time I don't want to run around looking like pleb. That doesn't mean I don't have a 2824-2 as well and appreciate the general idea of mechanical watches.

I've worn this watch for three full days and am willing to answer any questions about this watch if anyone is either interested or is thinking about ordering one. This watch looks and wears entirely differently in person than any pictures you can find online of the watch.

More-so, this is just an attempt to bump the thread.

>>8424640
>This watch looks and wears entirely differently in person than any pictures you can find online of the watch.

for better or worse, and what do you think of its build quality?

>>8424670

I can only talk about the June 2014 batch - some previous batches have had different variations of thicker hands, a silver-ish watch face, more prevalent concentric circles on the sub-dial and a cheaper leather band. The current build has a white face, very minuscule concentric circles, thin hands and a rather pleasant leather band [that people may want to replace].

When the watch arrives, you get the impression of the watch being much smaller than portrayed online. Although the watch has large dimensions on paper [38mm + lug length, probably just over 42mm effective length], in person the watch actually seems rather small - which is a good thing as it has been designed to accommodate people of 6-7 inch wrists [or the average male]. You hold the watch in your hand, and it just feels small and very solid. My teenage sister tried the watch on too, and it did not appear ridiculously large, disregarding the fact that her wrist is smaller than my 6.75.

Also, in terms of its visual impact, it looks much different in person than it does online. This is primarily because the watch is much more condensed and the face printing much more sharp than portrayed in most user-submitted pictures. Excluding the rather bad choice in font for "Rodina, Automatic", the number printing and minute dashes look very sharp in person. People have magnified the printing by over 50x on the watchuseek forums, and even then the face printing seems reasonably sharp.

The build quality is as you would expect from a $120 watch. Unfortunately, I don't have any big dollar or reputable watch brands to compare against, but the watch has reasonable weight behind it and the sapphire face has [so far] held up very well against a few knocks and scratches against my wooden desk, etc. The watch protrudes out around 10mm, therefore impacts to the watch face are seemingly common, especially since the watch is -all- face.

The watch has strong presence. Three complements in three days.

How long does it takes to order it? Is good-stuffs a legit site?

>>8423122
whats the best watch of this style under 200euros ?

>>8421059
look at mount blanc, my dad has a couple of their watches and they have lasted well over the years and were 3k or less

the super ocean was a gift about 8 years ago, i put the rubber band on when i got the gmt ii so i can use it as a change-of-pace weekend watch.

i picked up the gmt ii a few months back to celebrate first year as an attorney

>>8425495
nice, how do you like it?

>>8424952
My favorite Rolex GMT. Excellent choice, anon (and congrats on the accomplishment).

Which of these watches are actually affordable?

Hey guys, I want something like the weekender, but with a date display

any suggestions?

Have a blancpain, a breguet and a jlc, thinking of either getting a reverso or fifty fathoms next!
Pic related, it's my breguet

>>8425886
>cheap (400€)
>cool functions
>runs precise
>looks great

It exceeded my expectations really. Junkers have plenty models that all look great. Most of them are quartz, though...

>>8425996
Depends on whats affordable for you

I like all of these a lot. Can /fa/ help me find my dream watch? I'm looking for something small and minimal like these (less than 40mm case) with a sapphire crystal and screwed caseback. A good Swiss quartz would be ideal since I'm anal about accuracy but I can't seem to find anything in my sub-$250 price point.

Suggestions? I'm currently rocking a $20 easy reader

>>8424952
that gmt is my dream watch

Any thoughts about this watch ?
Do you think it could be a nice watch for a girl ?
I need a watch I can swim with and I was thinking about buying pic related to wear with some nice NATO straps

>>8430553
>Any thoughts about this watch ?
fantastic watch for that price
>Do you think it could be a nice watch for a girl ?
no, it would look weird af on a girl imo

>>8430553
Get the 011 instead for a girl. Smaller than 007

Should I?

Patek Master Race

>>8430873

>>8430911
>tfw no patek

>>8431029

I like the design mate.

>>8430911
oh my.. this faggot again, finally took a new pic of his shitty watch/

IWC Portuguese Chronograph

>>8431236
how is his shitty? it's a patek lol

>>8431246
how much did this cost u

>>8431317
5500

>>8431268
It's also one of the only Patek's I've seen that doesn't look gaudy as fuck.

>>8431318
is that how much they normally cost or what? i thought these were in like the 20k range

>>8431337
Nah. They list for 7900 these days. It was 6900 when I got mine, and pretty much any jeweler will take 20% off MSRP.

>>8401918
I had this one for about 9 months. Theres a metal bar that keeps the band attached to the time piece that kept popping out so I stopped wearing mine completely.

Pretty watch though. You get what you pay for and $20 dollars isn't much.

Cop.

>>8430911

what model is this

>>8433116
classic prototype

>>8433612
>tfw modern entry level swiss

that image is scary accurate

>>8433612

>>8434020
>only 170gb

I don't get the comment on the Explorer 1?

Man I promise, I'm so self-conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Rollies n' Hublots

and seriously I don't even keep the time on them, I just feel naked without them.

>>8434134
yeah i've gotten too used to having a watch on all the time when i'm out.

>>8434134
>>8434143
>feel naked without them

I know that feel too well.

>>8434080

w2c strap
PLEASE RESPOND

seriously though. you can't find a nylon strap for a watch? dem shits is e'erywhere

>>8434080
>>8434074
is there such thing as /fa/ anime that enjoyable to watch? any genre is fine

>>8435049
Only anime I've ever watched is Dragonball Z

and then I grew up I watched Death Note which is pretty acceptable if you're a sociopath and come from /pol/

>>8435049
Jellyfish Princess.
It's about a hopeless man-hating fujoshit girl who befriends a beautiful crossdresser.

>>8435049
Zeta Gundam can be pretty /fa/ is you ask me

>>8409077
nice brah

>>8435049
all anime is un/fa/ af imo

>c-closet otaku is the way to go

>>8414249
I've got the Orient Submariner vor like 4 years. Works great. A bit bulky but pretty good for only 90 euros.

>>8422282
A beauty she is.

Thoughts?

>>8426185
I had that and the strap bent after a month

>>8435507
It's just an f-91. Nothing special about it. If you want to be /fa/, wear an analog

>>8430911
patek

>>8435699

First nicer watch $1300

>>8435739
>Being poor
I bet that strap costs more than the actual watch

>>8435754
Well, if you work out shipping, they work out about the same.

>>8435760
>My watch costed as much as the strap

>>8435767
What the hell is your problem?

>>8435739
>wearing an f-91
>not a drone

/fa/ loves that watch, too, faggot. is this your first time in a watch thread?

>>8403758
goddamn i fucking hate DW watches
every single tool i know owns one
cheapo designer pieces of shit
fuck

>>8435777
I'm pretty sure it was posted twice earlier in this thread.

I have the cheaper f28w and it's a good gym watch.

Tell me, effay, are there any examples of someone wearing a watch with both:

1. a dark, dark brown leather strap

AND

2. a black face

I want to see if its possible for to look good, or if the two colors are immergable.

PLZ RESPOND
