why did the accutron movement die out? we never hear about it any more, what were its disadvantages over quartz?

More expensive to manufacture and less accurate.

Suggestions for entry-luxury watches that have day/night indicator?
So far I've only found a omega and longines

>>9549215
It's called moon phase.

>>9549215
I'm aware, but specifically what I'm looking for is the type that shoes am/pm, not waxing/waning moon cycle.

>>9549265
meant for >>9549265

>>9549269
... keep trying, you'll get it.

>>9549276
third time's the charm

>>9549265

anyway

>>9549282
There you go!! You made it!!
>Who's a good boy? Whos a gud boi?

Found this watch. Anybody have info on it? It says Sekel incabloc 17 jewels. Google gives me nothing.

>>9549335
And the back. It works but the glas is broken. Should I fix it?
Each link on the wristband says Speidel U.S.A also

>>9549335
>What's the time anon?
>It's shekels o' clock
>rapes him
Get it repaired and use it

Thinking of picking one of these up pre-owned from a buddy, could you wear one of these casually or is it too formal? I'm 24 btw

>thickness: 10.5 mm

Thickness to height (width in pic related) ratio 0.315

Ratio times stated watch height:

ACTUAL THICKNESS = 0.315 x 38.6 = 12.6 mm (+16%)

Y u do dis appl

>>9549469
Define casually.

>>9549480

Pretty much all the time except for running/gym

Going out with friends, groceries, walking around the area, coffee, going out to eat etc.
I know it's expensive but I mean from looks alone is it okay for those type of activities without seeming like a showoff/tryhard? Don't want to draw too much attention either, negative or otherwise(had a buddy who wore a big rolex skydweller and was mugged not too long ago)

Also long shot but if anyone has one or something similar what is the durability like on them? They look really delicate so I would be a bit afraid of wearing it while drunk

Just found this in the basement.

>>9549489
I meant more in terms of style. I mean it would definitely work with business casual, but maybe not so much as a goth ninja.

>>9549496
>>9549496

oh sorry, I live in cali so a lot of the times I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the day, definitely not the best outfit to wear a watch like that, I am self employed too so don't wear business casual stuff
I mostly just don't want to look like an asshole, the watch is mostly for me. I've always wanted one and don't wanna spend all that money to just leave it sitting somewhere and wearing it a handful of times to formal occasions or w/e

what sort of money can I expect to pay for a nice, simple leather strap watch?

Also open to any suggestions. I prefer a darker coloured strap to match my black business pants and shoes. Silver colouring preferred to gold, though not essential.

>>9549510

Not much at all if you care just about looks rather than brand and don't want anything flashy, just get a casio or something

>>9549469
>>9549503
Gold and moonphase are too try hard for anything less than business casual
unless you already wear preppy chino shorts and shirts, but it's still pushing it.
definitely going to set yourself up as a target

maybe find a non-yellow gold model if you really like moonphase.

>>9549503
I'd say it depends on your overall looks. I think left guy could probably pull it off, right guy maybe not so much.

>>9549510
quality dress watches range from $200 Orient to $1000 Longines to beyond

>>9549529
>>9549539

Thanks guys, mostly just wear nike/underarmour etc. shorts and t shirt, nike trainers too, same ones I use for running, I'm not very stylish
I really do like the moonphase though, the way I look at it most people, especially potential muggers won't be able to tell its value, I'd probably be more in danger wearing a two tone Rolex at like 1/4 of the price from muggers
The white gold moonphase is probably more stealthy but also more expensive and I am getting a pretty good deal on this from my buddy so idk, I might just chance it

>>9549215
longines master collection?

>>9549215
it's mostly chinese manufacturers that have day/night indicators. they use them because it sorta looks like a moonphase and all it takes is a disk attached to a 24hr gear.

>>9548960
>>9548932
also if you ever let your wrist touch anything the thing audibly vibrates all over the place.

>>9549342
take the back off by putting something into one of the notches on the back and unscrewing it. I've never even heard of sekel but the movement is probably adolf schild or early ETA.
speidel was the #1 manufacturer of expansion bracelets back in the day.

>>9549510
never choose a watch by the strap. how much you pay depends on how much you like quality in the products you buy.

>>9549572
>I am getting a pretty good deal on this from my buddy so idk, I might just chance it
Nice go for it, just make sure it's really a good deal, and not just because the seller says so.
May I ask how many shekels will it run you?

>>9549204
Hey!! Who posted my old pic of my Ulysse Nardin?
Thanks anon, wherever you might be...

>>9549476
13mm is unbearable.
11mm is the limit for me.
I can tolerate 12mm if the crystal is domed but nothing above that. fuck that.

>>9549215
>Suggestions for entry-luxury watches that have day/night indicator?
Just a few, actually
First,
>Gerald Genta Night and Day

>>9550265
Second,
>Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Day Night

>>9550272
Third,
>Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Automatique

>>9550278
And fourth and final,
>Blancpain Leman Dual Timezone Day/Night

All entry luxury, below the five grand mark (usd). Only ML si current production, though, so you'll have to buy among the second hand market for the other three.
Still, if I were you, I would go for either the Gerald Genta, the JLC or the Blancpain.
Hope I was helpful.

Finally something nice, Blancpain is sick

What is the best watch someone can recommend me for around $400 Australian?
So far the Erroyl E30 Heritage has sparked my interest as well as the upcoming Royal 300 from the same company.

I really like the Seiko Brightz Automatic SDGM003 too, but it costs like $700

Can anyone recommend any similar watches?

>>9550356
if you like the erroyl, get it.

>>9550373
I don't really want to have leather straps again, is it easy to replace them with metal ones?

>>9550342
>Nice
Thanks

>Disgusting, Srsly?
There aren't too many disc day/night options at that price anon. Also, the Gerald Genta is quite cool imho, starting by the fact that it is 36mm.

>>9550373
Ready to get your new gold(ed) edition Apple watch, my good /g/man?

>>9548443
10/10 would buy

>>9549469
You'll only need to wind this once, it'll get stolen before it dies after that.

>>9549491
Keep it in the basement friend

>>9550380
Yes.

>>9549476

I'm buying one and covering how awesome or shitty it is. I'll be at the opening and tweeting photos and shit.

@AppleWatchTime

>>9550382
yes I am. I have given up my dream of owning a JLC and will instead now begin saving my money for a $17,000 device with less than a day of battery life that will be useless in 2 years.

>>9549947
>>9550265
hey /g/ and da lawyer, you two seem to know your fact when it comes to watches, so what do you think of this one? >>9549676
I know its price is nothing exceptional(~€2200), but still I'd like to know if you think this watch is worth its price

>>9550421
I vote yes. longines are good quality pieces and their inhouse modified chronograph movements are really well done. 2200 isn't an unreasonable price for a modified valjoux chronograph and considering the overall great level of finish on both the externals and on the movement I'd say if you like the watch it's well worth the price.

>>9550421
As /g/man said it is not at all a bad option, specially by the fact that, thanks to its modifed modules, this watch is capable of sporting some serious bang-for-the-money complications.

Few comments though. First, the moon disc is a proper moonphase display so it will make a full revolution every 29 1/2 days, not every 24 hours.

Second, don't buy it before you try it on your very wrist, as Longines have shown a recent tendency towards bigger watches and you may feel the size to big for you, even if the website says it's smaller it could look bigger.

Third, try to find a big departmen store that carries the brand and figure out when are they going to put their jewelry department on sale to get a better deal OR walk into a proper jewelry and ask directly if they can offer you a discount as well, both way are great to save some shekels.

If you do get it, please come back and post pics and impressions of it, I'll love to read them.

>>9550415
I too crave for a glorified romote control with a presence 100% guaranteed to attract the biggest, most flamboyants ultragays from the neighborhood. Let's see who gets Apple-AIDS first my friend!!

thank you for your opinion guys :)

>>9550612
You're welcome.
>Here, have som space tits.

>>9550627
I used to think Seiko 5 line was great and cheap as well, but now that I know they can't be manually wound I can't recommend them as strongly anymore...

>>9550640
They removed the ability to manual wind them when they started using recessed 4:00 crowns. Seriously, that crown is so low profile that even if it did have manual winding it'd be useless.

>>9550664
>>9550640
The sports models still have handwinding, though, so if you really feel you can't recommend a watch without handwinding those are still a valid option.

>>9550664
>>9550673
That's better. IMHO, even if the downsizing of the crown is a valid reason, not being able to manually wind your watch is just bad movement developpment. It totally fucks with accurancy during the first working hours of the watch (unless you feel like runnig the marathon every time you adjust it after having stopped) thus, rendering unreliable.

hey guys! rate my watches please?

is that an aftermarket super oyster on the 8926?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v5zLzpCZ-I

this one arrived today. I needed a sturdy daily beater because my old one was done for. was pleasantly surprised that next to the hands even the numerals have lume on them. they are not terribly bright but still. which other budget priced fieldwatch even has that? none of them.

>>9550695
But my fucking Orient Mako keeps staying at +2 secs a day.

>>9550708
>is that an aftermarket super oyster on the 8926?

that was something i was eyeing for a long while, just swapped it out for an oyster strap on eBay though

>>9550727
Orient apparently has some magical motherfuckers working the regulating station. I seriously have no idea how they manage to do it so well.

>>9550740
Man that was a great week, I really hope to see more like that because it shows the quintissentially Japanese willingness to put hard work into their products, even those at the lower end. I mean in house production on those movements and in house craftsmanship? I think I will buy one
So now I have something else to my list, I want a watch with a 2824 (probably a Squale or Steinhart DLC diver), a downsized flieger (probably Laco), a Stowa TESTAF, a watch with a Miyota 9015 (maybe a Kickstarter brand), and now an Orient Nippon Watchu. Maybe I'll even buy another yobokies

When will the madness.truly end?

Is there ever an appropriate time to wear a pocket watch? I was given one recently as a gift and its been collecting dust for months,

>>9551727
when you're holding the door open for m'lady

>>9551761
See, that's exactly what I thought

On the lookout for a tonneau case watch. Preferably in RG, leather strap (croco is king) and automatic movement. Budget around 5k.

Any recs?

>>9552059
Have a look at the Cartier tank, I like it, pretty classic design, pic related

>>9552075
This reminds me of a novelty Vostok watch, I've seen one with just a picture of Gorbachev on it, even had his birth mark in another colour

>>9552059
I have no idea. Obviously Franck Muller is what comes to mind when you think of tonneau but that's out of your price range. If I were you, I would stick to the lower end of your price range and pick up a hamilton tonneau.

>>9551643
That's not half bad.

Ayy. How are you guys doing?

how do i into watches?
considering a seiko 5.

>>9553427
I can paraphrase a long response into yes, go for a seiko 5. But here is a guide anyway. Also opt for an inoffensive style, so you won't be left with a watch you hate when your taste inevitably changes.

>>9551648
>>9551651
>>9553417
Cheers. It's pretty sweet.

I like it so much I emailed the guy back to get a charcoalXred strap made up for my gray Cerberus. It'll be so sweet.

>>9553437
I'll probably stick with the seiko, but thanks for the guide, appreciated.

>>9552075
The guy in the middle looks like Samuel L. Jackson.

So guys, I finally decided to go with the SNK803. And it turns out its a bit different from what I was expecting.

>>ebay pictures show its sickly pale. mfw its actually quite tan.
>>online reviews complain its too small and light. mfw when its bigger and heavier than my datejust.
>>seiko lume is best lume. mfw citizen lume is comparable.
>>mfw when I now have a watch collection.

A caveat regarding the lume, I don't think anything I have will actually measure up to a seiko diver. And yes, the submariner is a trolex.

where do I find straps?

This is my everyday watch. What do you guys think?

>>9553733

>looking through chrono24 for UNs/Breguets
>intricate enough photos, trusted seller/shop, etc
>decide to google around for replica
>get nervous

I certainly underestimated the fake industry, I mean this $200 piece could have definitely fooled me
and the trusted seller/physical shop hoops don't seem like a strong guarantee

What's you opinion on/experience with grey market sellers?
Should I scrap the plan of buying from grey market and settle for a mid-luxury but brand new piece?

>>9553862
Buying used is an great option if it has been taken care of, depending on the watch chances are no one even makes fakes for that model. People will make fakes for Rolex and omega but unlikely to make fakes for an obscure JLC or an A Lange and Sohne

>>9553891
so aim for as obscure as possible models? Got it

>>9553954
Well, kind of. Always implement measures to make sure that the watch is genuine, I can't tell you what these things to implement are because I have no experiences buying high end pieces. If you are going to get a very often faked model like a Rolex submariner I would go over it with a fine tooth comb before you buy it, I will be pretty relaxed if you are getting a obscure brand that not a lot of people have heard of

My Soviet terrorwatch has just arrived. Couldn't be more satisfied :^)

>>9553976
holy shit that is so fucking hipster...
w2c??

>>9553980
Etsy or ebay. Quite difficult to get one like this, but I think there's some Russian selling one for like $60 on ebay. Look for "Elektronika soviet watch".

>>9553862
Hi m8. I would advice you to step away from the grey market for now. If that obvious fake piece of shit watch could have fool'd you, as you say, it's clear that you still don't have the suffice knowledge to buy watches without risking being decieved by a dishonest seller.
It may sounds harsh, but you really need to study way, way more before buying anything that doesn't come from an AD.

>>9553891
Sadly, there are lots of fakes (most of them ugly and badly made, thankfully) from what you categorize as "obscure" brands. I have handled a fake Lange irl, and I have seen fake JLC, VC, Zenith's and lot more advertised on the web, even a Vianney Halter fake as well, and he is an independent watchmaker that almost no one knows outside the watch community.

>>9553954
See >>9554148 That response was meant for you too. Buying an obscure brand won't give you any real certainty you're buiyng an authentic watch. BEWARE.

>>9553966
>will be pretty relaxed if you are getting a obscure brand that not a lot of people have heard of.
And most likely you will probably become a victim of fraud, m8. With all my respect I can tell you, you don't know enough about watches to be safe in a grey market purchase.

>>9553588
People think the seiko 5 is small because they're used to huge nigger watches/are fat.

>>9553710
International watchman.

>>9553733
It's too big. Good choice on the strap, though.

>>9553862
I would really recommend buying something new if you don't have enough experience to identify replicas.
If you really insist upon it, take all of the pictures from the seller and post them all here so we can check at the very least.

But yeah you should probably just go buy a new rolex/omega or something.

My little collection so far.

>>9554394

does wearing a watch on your right hand mean something?

>>9554907
>>9555122

Aren't all of these things usually in small limited edition runs? They're not aiming for a mass market, it's really just about stretching the bounds of mechanics and concepts in horology; they probably know themselves that they're kind of ugly.

You'll have to find an old one, as that reference is no longer in production. If you buy it from a collector not wanting to speculate with the price, maybe aroumd 50k usd IF you're lucky.

>>9555383
Yes, they're made in small numbers reference by reference, but not as little as you might think in total. For example, the Urwerk 103 has about ten diferent versions, from materials, to construction to the opening of the dial. There are probably around 500 of this in the world.

>>9555452

lol, just wear your watch on your forehead and it would be fine.

>>9555452
A Hublot :^^^^^^)
seriously, though. a replica. you could get an astromaster but astromasters suck cocks.
either come to terms with the fact that you're going to have to buy a fake watch to get what you want or reconsider what you want in a watch.

>>9555660
it means you suck cocks. god hates you because you're gay so he made you left handed so everybody would know.
or maybe left handed is just left handed and doesn't mean anything other than you're different from most people.

No, but seriously, best of lucks /g/man I truly hope you find hapiness in the new direction your life is taking. Feel confident on yourself and be brave (not Fossil brave) enough to chase what you want

I think I'm going to like it. Law was what I originally wanted to do back when I was figuring out college stuff in high school (I had aspirations to be a politician. at the time I didn't consider the fact that ever having visited this site in my life would totally fuck me as far as that goes) and I only settled for programming because there's no good law school anywhere near me and I didn't have the financial independence to move anywhere else.
The real thing that really made me change course, though, is that my longtime girlfriend's parents both have net worths of at least a few million each and I can't be some poor codefag if I expect to give her anything close to the quality of life she's used to. such is the life of a poorfag who managed to snag a super rich girl without even realizing it until a few months in.

can someone explain what they find appealing about this? it seems far too polygonal, the number placement and font put me off, and it's a gray haze rather than anything more striking. It doesn't even seem like it'd be easier to pair with a fit than a simple white face/black font watch.

>>9556198

It cost a lot of money. Lots of expensive watches can be ugly.

>>9556126
>clown face

>>9556198
It's very expensive, to the point of it being very exclusive. Other models in the Royal oak offshore line are less gaudy. As with anything beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Gotta love a Speedmaster

>>9556221
>>9556201
but they specifically asked for the look, and it wasn't remotely related to the brand/cost.
>>9555452
>I want something with the look of an AP,but not a replica

>>9556198
IMO pretty much every porthole style watch looks like shit except for the standard gray royal oak
no chronographs, no massive cluttered arabic numerals, no unnecessary color
just sexiness

>not wanting a dorito in your watch

>>9554907
>wankel engine watch
Would fucking buy.

What watch is this?

>>9556433
That's a manufacture royale androgyne origine.
MR makes some crazy shit.

>>9556429
If you want a rotary buy an rx-7

>>9556462
I can't put an RX-7 on my wrist.
Also, I like driving my car. Not constantly fixing it.

>>9556429
But it's bullshit, the rotor is just hooked up to an ordinary looking movement from what I can tell. There's nothing particularly unique about the movement.

If it ran on gasoline that would be a completely different story, then it would be pretty cool.

>>9556477
if it were just attached to a normal movement, the rotor would be unable to move because it requires more degrees of motion than that.
the spinny dorito can't rotate around a fixed central point.
it's basically a spring powered wankel engine.

>>9556473
You can't deflower bitches in your watch. The unreliableness of rotaries is so overplayed.

>>9556477
Obvious gimmick, there is no need for combustion chambers on a watch, it still looks cool as fuck

>>9556491
>>9556494
Don't hate on me /g/. I looked at it and realised my mistake.

You're American aren't you? Don't think you could deflower anyone in an rx-7, you couldn't fit.

I'm sorry that was neccessary, but here is a photo of a nice watch as compensation

What model is this so that I can go buy one right now?

>>9554598
decent watch box for one

and a reason why you bought each watch
rather than just copping whatever is on sale and cheap

>>9556770
It's a sarb model, I can't remember the name, use google to find it. I think it has been discontinued though man, it you can find it for sale, throw a link and I'll buy one too

>>9556770
I just done a bit of research, it's a sarb031. You will probably have it get it used and pay an arm and a leg for it. I like the straight lugs

>>9556802
Well thanks for finding it. Why does Seiko discontinue everything good? There's a bunch of really nice SARBs that they don't make anymore.

>>9556845
Because they want to allow their customers to share in the profits.
>buy SARB for $450
>use it for a few years
>seiko discontinues it
>sell for $800

>>9556845
I know. I think they seiko only make about 3 sarbs anymore, Its such a hard choice between a 033 or 035

Selling: email in pic.

I also perform general service (full disassembly, cleaning, and lubrication) on complications up to day/date. You may find some of my work in the archive and the sticky.

>>9557005
Many of these are not yet restored but if there is one you like, I will place priority on that one.

>>9557809
Who gives a shit. It's just a watch, faggot.

>>9557809
Wouldn't call it a rip off. It's just Rodina's attempt at a Bauhaus style watch. I don't think nomos came up with the design.

Is this tin can /fa/?

>>9556126
That's pretty cool m8. I'm attending a watchmaker school in Sweden. They're associated with Swiss Watches so that's pretty cool. Once I'm done I'll move to Switzerland and ask to become a student at Omega. They take 4 people in a year.

>>9557926
>Once I'm done I'll move to Switzerland and ask to become a student at Omega.
How does this work?
I'm thinking about joining the danish school of watch making (we only have one school in Denmark which trains this).
But my ambition is larger than simply repairing watches all day and I'd like to work in a larger corporation (such as the Swatch group).
Do I need to take extra courses such as design and economy besides watch making?

Don't know if you actually know any of this stuff, but what is your plan?

>>9557493
>>That cashio's actually pretty dope, w2c?

The watch model is Casio Classic Silver Watch MTP1370L-7A.

What's a good watch that isn't too big (under 40mm) for $250 or less? 6.5" Slim wrist here looking for an everyday automatic, very interested in diver's watches if it doesn't run large

this strap Y/N?

This is the watch I have. Not particularly outstanding but I love it, and its a nice looking watch imo.

>>9558475
this one

>>9558401
no

>>9558480
why

i'm poor and know nothing about watches. i want to get something under $100, preferably as low as $60. something that isn't too big or gaudy. any recommendations?

>>9558614

see: >>9553437

>>9558046
sweden has mandatory german, french or spanish

>>9558651
That doesn't mean you can speak it fluently, and definitely not be taught in it.

>>9558617
yeah, i saw the guide. i was looking for specific recommendations. the seiko 5 and the timex intelligent quartz looks all right. i much prefer the design of some of the watches in the $100-$200 range though.

>>9558686
Then use more money or get a replica.

>>9558686
Have a look at Casio if you are looking to spend the least amount of money or buy a used seiko 5 or orient

>>9557926
pfft, not happening

they only take people who did their internal apprenticeship (takes 4 years)
if you're not fluent in swiss german and french, it's also not happening


sorry

>>9558686
check out Lorus and Pulsar, bro. They are Seiko owned and cheaper.

>>9558399
any recs?

Bought a second Raymond Weil automatic. They are family owned (one of the few independent Swiss watch brands) and, as of the last few years, make their own custom movements). I got mine for 50% off.

>>9558046
German or French is mandatory in Danish schools :^)
>>9558057
Dane-fag, and yes I am.

>>9558817
Care to explain yourself?

went to go get my old watch a new battery, a movement replacement and to get fitted.
a few weeks later and they return it to me like this.

this may not look so bad but holy fuck this is the most uncomfortable thing ever.
if the clasp is sitting just right, the face of the watch is practically rolling off my hand and if its facing me, the clasp is hanging on the left side of my wrist.

>>9559899
forgot pic

>>9559471
omega, like most of the watchmakers in switzerland, pick their apprentices out of the schoolchildren that apply there
then these 16 y/o do a 4 year apprenticeship internally at the company, so they know all about the company allready

they educate as many as they need, so as an outsider you would have to be on a whole other level of genious to convince them to take you on

also, the whole watch industry in switzerland is in the french speaking part, so get that french dictionary out

>>9559466
>German or French is mandatory in Danish schools :^)
Hvordan kan det være at du er på urmager skole i Sverige og ikke brugte den i Danmark?
Og er da pavestolt over en dansker er sædkrukke mester.

Og bare fordi vi har tysk i folkeskolen betyder det ikke at vi kan tysk. Jeg kender i hvert fald ikke ret mange der kan tysk, desværre.

>>9560114
Det er fordi det er en erhvervsuddannelse, den i Sverige er en universitetsuddannelse og de samarbejder med Swiss Watches. Har også snakket med et par urmagere da jeg var i Malmö, blandt andet i en Rolex og Omega butik, og de havde alle gået på den skole.
>>9559962
I've talked with a few Rolex and Omega store owners, and they said my knowledge on watches were greater than their usual customers, and I have done quite alot of work and re-search. As for the French part, that could might be a problem, but my German is great so I hope it'll be okay. But if I can't get a work place my plan B is to start a store and just sell the watches, to become an authorised Rolex and Omega dealer.

>>9560279
>Det er fordi det er en erhvervsuddannelse, den i Sverige er en universitetsuddannelse og de samarbejder med Swiss Watches. Har også snakket med et par urmagere da jeg var i Malmö, blandt andet i en Rolex og Omega butik, og de havde alle gået på den skole.
Jeg er bare imponeret over at du kan gå på en svensk skole. For satan, jeg fatter ikke en skid af hvad de fjeldaber siger.
Der er måske ikke for meget snak? Eller er snakken på engelsk? Kunne da godt overveje det hvis den er mere anerkendt end den danske.
Hvorfor foretrækker du at det er en universitetsuddannelse frem for en erhvervsuddannelse?

Anyone else think most watches are waaay too busy and prefer close to minimalist stuff like this:

>>9560551
that's a symptom of homosexuality, friend. a real red-blooded american wears nothing but 60mm quad-chronograph diesel watches.

>>9560559
>>9560551
oh, and franck mullers if you happen to be a rich red-blooded american man

>>9560568

I laughed but still disagree. I just don't see the point and find them ugly. Who the fuck doesn't know what day it is, and if they don't, they can just ask someone once...

>>9560578
I really hate the whole bauhaus minimalism fad but I kind of see where you're coming from. No-date watches are nice because you don't have to worry about another thing to set when you put on a different watch and you don't have to worry about setting the time correctly by a.m/p.m.
there are plenty of watches that manage to capture the "minimalist" vibe without being tryhard reddit memewatches like instrmt, skagen, or mvmt. even ones with day/date complications.

>>9560568
Jesus christ what a clusterfuck, I'm not a minimalist but that what the fuck were they thinking

Honecker did nothing wrong

>>9560655
franck looks like that rich greasy uncle who came into his money through illegitimate means and hides cameras inside your sister's bedroom when he visits so he probably just channeled that kind of energy into his watchmaking

im looking for a leather one that doesnt look terribly cheap and doesnt have visible stitching

>>9561073
It's a $150 strap, so it certainly won't look cheap, because it isn't.
they're handmade by some tuscan guy, hodinkee sells them

Daily wear for the last 10 years still going strong

Can someone explain to me fashion wise why theres a difference between male and female watches im the lower range like 20-200usd? I know some of the more chunky and expensive luxury watches are very traditionally masculine and showy but a lot of the popular and more common ones like the Timex Weekender, Seiko5 and various Orients seem relevatively unisex.

>>9561552

Det virker bare lidt mere fancy at sige at du har haft en universitetsuddannelse som urmager, de har også lidt mere at arbejde med. Min mor er svensker så jeg forstår meget svensk, men undervisningen er vist på engelsk så det er jo fint nok. Indtil videre kan jeg komplet skille et manuelt optræk ur ad og samle det igen.

Det er jo så en smagssag. Jeg vil mene at det er mindst ligeså fancy at have været i lære hos en urmester i 3½ år, men det er jo op til diskussion.
>men undervisningen er vist på engelsk så det er jo fint nok.
Hvad mener du med det her?
Er undervisningen på engelsk eller svensk?
>Indtil videre kan jeg komplet skille et manuelt optræk ur ad og samle det igen.
Lyder fedt. Gad godt at prove at skille mit gamle Omega fra hinanden og samle det igen.

Thoughts on B&R?

Just copped this, the strap is aids. What should I get as replacement? I have a minute budget. Brown, black, shark mesh or Nato?

>>9562555

Not. You'd get more respect for buying a cheap Seiko 5.

In the outside world, outside of watch/horology enthusiasts, everyone assumes Armani = expensive = good quality, but any fashion watch by clothing designers is just cheap Chinese crap with 2 dollar quartz movements. They'd be fine if they were $20-30, but they're charging more like $150-200 aren't they?

just recently copped this Laco. particularly fond the off-white face and the styling of the numerals.

>>9563096
>>9562555
>$200
might as well buy a shell out a bit more for a maurice lacroix quartz

>>9562924
Nice aesthetics and decent quality, but very overpriced IMO for ETA movements with no significant extra technology or homological innovation. It's all marketing and brand
For a couple hundred to a K less I'd consider buying, at 1700 or more used literally no point buying it over Sinn

>>9562687
