Omega is going to charge you a lot. It depends on what movement your watch has, for mine the estimate was just under $1000. I couldn't find anyone I wanted to trust locally in Houston so I mailed it to Govberg watch repair which another anon recommended. I won't really recommend them since I haven't gotten it back yet or even gotten an estimate yet but they don't seem too bad so far.

Weekender was my watch afterwards as a nice casual watch. Pretty great. I think someone stole it during a party because I can't hear it ticking anywhere in my room anymore.
>>9252951
>>9252979
Weekenders are for men with small wrists like myself. Great casual wear.
As >>9253046 said look at the "Case Diameter" 48mm is where most Invictas start in the Oversized category. Just find watches with smaller listed case diameters to fit you. They tend to be unisex as women prefer much smaller size case diameters even with smaller wrists. Weekenders are great unisex watches and are still boss.

Standard, nothing special. I would suggest looking for even more watches that go with your wardrobe. Perhaps search for people who dress as you want to, then find out which watches they wear with it all.
Something simple such as searching "Black jacket watch" or "blue dress shirt watch" will yield good results as well.

>> No.9254267

>>9252792
Laco only manufactures 36, 42, 45 and 47 mm models. 36 mm is too tiny imo, maybe suitable to kids and women. If you got a +15 cm wrist, then a 42 mm model (most common size) should be right. Remember that German Fliegeruhren/Beobachtungsuhren were supposed to look huge.
This video may interest you, it's about the Laco original WW2 model. Just ignore the autistic aussie at the beginning.

Get a piece of string and measure the diameter of your wrist. Also bear in mind that some watches wear larger and smaller than they actually are; watches with large bezels (divers eg) wear smaller as the actual face is smaller. Opposite (eg pilot watches) is therefore true.

con: It very loud and the factory strap is shit, they just didnt bother with that.
Low range handwinding is sensible at 9 o/clock position and sometimes wont catch the complication and the crown in winding position feels a bit feeble.
Don´t get one with that diver bezel, it has no function except making it look even more than a toy. I´m also no fan of the military cartoons on most of their faces, they look like designed by a grade schooler (This one is fine i think, even though it looks like its sponsored by Heineken)
pro: Good and sturdy mechanical watch. There is nothing on the market that delivers you the same quality on a 30$ budget. It is a unique timepiece to include in any collection and it catches attention. Back is demagnetized and it has a quality built like heavyness. Definitely not a daily beater but nice to wear at times.

I was really goddamn freaked out for a second, I thought one of my relatives browsed 4chan.
My grandma gave away the cheaper parts of my grandpa's watch collection at christmas in a sort of free for all because she can't afford actual gifts now that he's dead. My brother in law asked me for a recommendation and I handed him that exact same watch. It was on a president bracelet, though.

then this is the bespoke shell cordovan NATO strap the piece of shit orient was on

the orient was like $150+tax on their website

the strap was a little over $225 all said and done

-------
all the cheap watches were purchased after I constantly bitched about maintence on higher end watches

>I can buy a new fucking Seiko everytime I have to take this piece of shit in for servicing!

the only things I hate about seikos is the tacky community, with their low end modding

they ship it out to some guy in the philipines and lust over malyasian made movts.

then argue about how Seiko is the shit since movements are made in house

nigger all your watches are 7s26 movements why are you frontin?!

I like the silver too, took my a while to decide on which to get. All though I'm not usually wont to choose gold over silver, I couldn't resist the brown/cream face and it goes with the colors I usually wear. May pick the silver up too. Glad someone else likes it!

if you've ever changed a bracelet before it's pretty standard - a bit tricky because of the sizing and really short lugs.

But if you've never swapped one before it's probably not worth the hassle when a watch guy will do it for $5, save you an hour.

not sure, my silver one has held up nicely and I've probably had it nearly a year.
Just baby it and avoid sport and you'll be fine.

It's a gold finish but of course there's no actual gold there, so I'm not sure how it would take to polish so I guess avoid that as well - or at least get advice from someone who knows first haha.

No problem there hombre. I do cycle everywhere so I guess I'll take it off for that

Thanks for the polish tips too. Perfume is the usual offender for fading watches so I will stay away from that too. Thanks for the info, I've never had a gold-color steel watch

the ana digi's are old school but you can get reissues and vintage working ones. They also go for around 200 I think.

I have odd taste but the silver Casio Databank is cool as fuck, get that.

Also about £100 is a good amount to spend on a poorfag watch, anything cheaper is usually not with buying as you will be replacing it within a year or two. Either go mega cheap like the casio terrorist or spend around £100, the £50 mark is honestly more expensive in the long run.
