Those are nice, I really like grand seiko

I'm looking to add another watch to my collection when get a decent job, I'm going to get a sarb, what one do you reckon, left or right?

>>9706603
As I've said before, I like the white better because it looks more like the kawaii grand seikos I can't afford. I think they looks more elegant, too and something about the polished metal indices on a black dial just doesn't sit right with me for some strange reason. And actually now that I think of it I just realized that every dark-dialed watch I have has painted indices and every light-dialed watch has applied indices and that just seems natural to me.

Both are very nice, though.

>>9706620
I don't know, I was thinking about black and keeping it on the bracelet because it actually has a decent one and then later adding a white dialed dress watch to my collection later

Postal again

>>9706681
And my most recent dogshit knock around purchase

Ayy

How thick are tissot visodates? Any of you got one and could post a pic? I know numerically thick they are but I haven't handle many watches in the flesh and I don't know if that will be too thick

>>9706840
Pic here, fuck I need to start browsing this on a pc, don't know why it didn't upload

i don't know shit about watches
but whats everyone's thoughts on Citizen?

opinion?

Why would someone pay 200€ for this shit when you can order the same watch with the same fucking Miyota movement for 10€ from Aliexpress

>>9706914
Brand name. Unless you mean a same exact replica from aliexpress then I don't know. People want "genuine" shit.

What do you guys think about this one? You think it would look weird worn with more casual clothes?

Also, black or brown leather band?

postan ma spring drive

what do you guys think about the Withings activité pop?

>>9706914
Why can't the D be forwards? I hate that more than the Jewing.

>>9707034
brown for casual, and even casual suits. black with black or dark suits. obviously with formalwear you shouldn't be wearing a watch at all though, which is why black straps are quite non versatile imo

>>9707034
Brown. I wear mine casually all the time (Rodina with Nomos markings).

The strap they come with is a peice of shit. Replace it ASAP.

>>9707150
>>9707197
Thanks, brown it is, then.
How casual do you think you can go, until the watch starts feeling out of place?

Do you have any links for some nice cheap straps?

>>9707034
>>9707034
Depends on the rest of your leather accessoaries. Given that a casual outfit isn't filled to the brim with black shoes and belts, you'd be better off with the brown one.

>>9706778
>>9707034
very nice. I roll with pic related

>>9706842
Would cop the shit out of that

>>9707197
Fuck, that looks like a fantastic poor man's Patek Phillipe.

Where 2 cop, my Skagen broke

>>9707256
NOMOS is a relatively expensive German watch making company.

Except if you are talking about fakes.

If you are in for the real deal, you can choose between Rodina (~$120) somebody posted previously, Stowa Antea (~$800-$1000) or Nomos Tangente/Tangomat ($1500-$4000).
All these designs are heavily inspired by a Bauhaus design watch from 1924 or so.

>>9707272
Forgot to add - a fake Nomos will be identical to the Rodina, since they are often make in the same factories. The only difference is the text on the watch-face.

>>9707225
I go pretty casual with it, though it's deliberately matched with personal style.

Try cheapestnatostraps.com (20mm) or ebay. Stick with leather, nylon looks bad on these. Maybe cut off the weird extra bit of strap they come with.

Pic is a shell strap that you can dream about getting one day

>>9707272
>>9707279
Thanks man, appreciate the advice. I'm gonna go see if I can get my Skagen fixed before I drop some money on this, though.

>>9707256
It's from http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16676511348 (N版阿拉伯数字棕带). You'd have to find your own sneaky chinaman to import it for you, though.

>>9707280
Is that a Hermes strap?
Looks great.

>>9707280
>>9707197
is that a replica? where did you get it?

>>9707342
Look two posts above you

>>9707280
this one has a date window though
>>9707347
>>9707316

>>9707256
In my opinion I would get the Rodina instead of the fake Nomos.
I don't like wearing fakes, but don't mind wearing "homages" (i.e. knockoffs).
At least the Rodina doesn't pretend to be a Nomos.

Is there any cool watches with a thermometer on?

>>9707365
I agree.

However, keep in mind that Nomos is also a homage.

>>9707380
There's a fakes Stowa as well :^)

>>9707327
Lol

I like how when i post my watches fa talks shit on the strap

Then when they see a lower end version of fhe strap on a chink watch they can actually afford they love it.

Lol at hermes strap

Oh god /fa/ is filled with losers

>>9707391
Huh.. Don't think I've ever been around to see you post any of your watches.
Can I see some?

>>9707391
Chill.

>>9707411
Are you new to watch threads?
Sieg can't hold a sober tone for more than half a post.

>>9707150
What? Black leathers can definitely be worn casually.

>>9707362
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=35689052859

If I were going totally knockoff-free, I'd go for a Seagull 1963.

>>9707232
dude, you don't need to match your watch band like you do your belt and shoes.

Someone last thread was asking what model my Tudor was. Its a reference 7992/0 from about 1971.

>>9707111
Looks like banner/advertisment font

>>9706840
They wear similar to the Rodina.

>>9706907
They're okay.
Just okay.

>>9706912
good.

>>9706914
Because the type of person who wears a le mnmlst reddit bauhaus watch is too retarded to consider that option.

>>9707034
It's one of the more versatile watches out there. I don't know shit about fashion but it looks like it'd go with pretty much any outfit and it definitely works with a wide range of straps.

>>9707100
you now have the biggest 4chan watch thread e-penis
nippu nongu tuna cannu

>>9707371
Thermometers don't work if the watch is attached to your wrist, it just picks up your body heat. There are g-shocks with thermometers but you have to actually remove it from your wrist to use the function.

>>9707371

>>9708205

best poorfag watch /thread

posted this in an earlier thread but it didn't get much attention. thoughts?

really I'm just a poorfag searching for a nice looking leather watch. any particular brand/s I should be looking at?

>>9708643
Check out the link in OP.

Hello my friends.

I am to buy pic related, not THAT one but a two tone submariner.

Should I? Why or why not? Pros and Cons pls

thnak you

I cant decide which band, I´m in between blue/yellow and black/red

>>9708868
Just get a Black face SS It's going versatile. Take the difference in price and buy a used speedy as well

You know I'm right but you will probably ignore me

>>9708918
is there anything specifically wrong with a blue sub

>>9708921
I like Blue subs they look nice. I just feel black would work in more situations and spending that much on a watch I'd want to be able to wear it as much as possible.

But also to spend that much on a watch I'd have to be so in love with it that some random fucker on a laotian popup book appreciated forum wouldn't be able to talk me out of it

>>9708940
What situations would you use blue for if it's not quite as versatile as black?

Mine

its not just tacky, its dumb

I have a question for all of you.

What is your dream watch? The watch where if price, rarity, etc were all irrelevant and you could have it, what would it be?

Rolex MilSub is mine.

Got my nip nong beater watch in the mail today. I'm surprised, it's a lot better quality than I thought it would be. Bracelet is not bad too, I thought it was going to be a lot worse.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/seiko-pilot-chronograph-watch

What do you guys think? It might look like a clusterfuck, but it's in a good way imo.

>>9710335

This is just going based on currently in production models because I've never really looked into vintage stuff. A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Minute Repeater

>>9710335
How's that no-matter-the-price free watch from a friend of yours coming along?
You said you'd have pics for us in 2 weeks, it's been more than a week already.

>>9710411
It's going.

If I can't get it in time, will likely get something cheaper in the mean time and just time stamp that. Sound good?

>>9710428
Good, I'll be waiting.

>>9710442
Once again, MilSubs are expensive and mite take a while to get here, but that's just re alliteration of myself.

The cheaper watch will be a rolex or something. Probably a rolex. Submariner, milgauss, something like that.

>>9710343
Is that rose gold or some shitty filter?

>>9710340
It's a pretty good watch, I think it deserves its meme status. You fucked up not getting all black though, although I do like that dark blue dial.

>>9707401
my ham

this is a shitty ipad pic...

>>9710346
It is undeniably a cluster fuck, but if you like it get it.

Any one know anything better for the same price of $130 AUD. For a grill.

>>9710730
women don't wear watches nearly as often or as long as men in the industries that rely on them do.

IE: should wear a nice watch at the office

but the woman in business casual doesn't need any jewelry

just buy her that and gift

she doesn't need some hand cut bespoke strap, hand assembled patek phillipe minute repeater that is worth more than a ferrari

because it will just sit in her junk drawer after a few weeks anyhow

just get the cheapest miyota movt disposable watch you can find for her

>>9710746
Hey thanks for the response. I guess when the price point is so low what matters most is that she likes the watch, not the fact that I care so much about what's inside.

Why can't kids and teenagers wear rolexes without people automatically assuming they're fake?

>>9710730
Did she ask for a watch? I think better things could be purchased, anyway listen to sieg, despite being a colossal faggot he knows what's up

>>9710822
Are you retarded? Teenagers usually don't have an interest in high end watches and the amount of teenagers able to afford high end wrist watches is slim to none

>>9710830
Plenty of teens have an interest in high end watches.

Most COULD, all they need to do is get a job and work for a few months.

>>9710842
I'm a teen, I have the money and the interest for hig end watch but I don't purchase one because I would like to further my income before spending such a large amount on a non essential item, to answer the first question better I think it is more likely that a teen owns a fake Rolex then for him to have the interest, desire and financial means to purchase a legitimant one

why is it so fucking hard to rind a nice looking male watch that isn't fucking huge,
why the fuck are watches today so comically big?

>>9710822
are you talking about yourself?

>>9710866
The watches that you see that are comically big aren't very good either, good watches can still be found, what Is your price range? I can make a suggestion or two

Here is the poorfag watch guide, don't think it has been posted yet

>>9710879
What makes you say that?

>>9710887
i had a Sottomarino Esploratore SM-50110A
for lack of a better word i'm looking for a normal size watch, kinda slim so i fits comfortable and fits under shirt sleeves (i think the one i'm replacing was 39mm)

I like a simple design almost minimalist.

My price range about is 150 but maybe more if i like what i see but no more than 300 and for 300 it better be love at first sight.

this one caught my eye but i'm not sure how big it actually is (48mm sounds big) but it should give you an idea what i look for
https://www.govx.com/p/3974/nixon-the-corporal-ss-watch

>>9710606
I already had a black diver (tag heuer) and I needed color in my collection.

>>9711018

Unless you've got like 8 inch wrists 48mm is fucking ridiculous.

>>9711018
also, durable, i like durability. i like light watches, so that i forget i'm wearing, but then i FORGET i was wearing it and bang it on shit...

>>9711055
i thought so, it sounded ridiculous.
but i have a hard time imagining in metric

the water resistance seems legit so far. it's been submerged multiple times over the last two days to no apparent ill effect.

>>9711018
Alright my friend, I would steer clear of Nixon, hey are cheaply made but don't have the price to match. You need to decide if you want a Quartz or mechanical, if you don't know the difference Google it. I would strongly reccomend seiko and orient in your price range, go onto a website and browse there selections, I would reccomend longislandwatch.com, as with any purchase I would pull the trigger straight away, wait a few days then do it. Here is my orient

Just copped this from here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Atmospheric-Clock-casual-high-quality-fashion-watches-men-quartz-Wrist-Watches-big-dial-DZ-brand-relogio/32243525366.html did I do good?

>>9708868
>all these fucking subs

Get a fucking Sea-Dweller! doesn't have to be the deepsea, just a regular, it's roughly the same size as a sub, has over double the water resistance, and doesn't have that horrible date cyclops.

>>9710822
aren't rolexes over 3K or something?
Rolexes seem more something you'll buy after landing a high paying job.

>>9711715
I'm 17 and I got a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 116000 blue dial. But again it was a gift because I got in a watch-making school.

>>9711715

Try around $8,500USD new from an Authorized Dealer for a Submariner with date.

Any good watches with moon/sun phase on them?

>>9712127

Not Watchmaker anon but it's a Bulova spaceview.

It's a really cool watch when you learn about the movement.

>>9711699
Ah so true, I still live with my parents, too be fair, my house isn't that shit, I just took the photo in the laundry

>>9712138
Not sure about yourself but I don't appreciate moon phases that much, they tend to be a complication only higher end watches have. Look at >>9710617. I think it's probably the best decent and relatively cheap moon phase you can get

>>9710887
Nice guide, thank!

>>9712127
What >>9712140 said, Bulova Accutron Spaceview from 1963.

Wrist check

>>9710822
Because most can't afford it.

When my parents gave me a few thousand to buy a watch for graduation, I bought a Panerai. Rolexes are far too common now, although they do make some very nice models.

>>9712543

You lucky prick. So jelly

w2c accutron?

>>9712802
Which pam did you get?

>>9712857
PAM49
I have small wrists

>>9712901
Besides that I find that face one of the worst they have, I was kind of looking at a PAM48. Know your wrist-feels. Could you measure the lug-to-lug? The internet is vague and saying everything from 46 to 52mm

>>9712934
Really? It is one of my favorite faces.
I needed one with a second hand, date, and 40mm. I preferred the white face so I got a 49.

It is currently being repaired, unfortunately can't measure it for you.

I have slim wrists so the average 42mm is oversized for me.

What are some good autos 40mm and under? budget is under $300

>>9713010
Rodina ST17. Seiko 5. The usual meme watches, basically.
There's lots of good vintages to be had, too.

>tfw no spring drive marine master with those sexy fucking hands

Dovyou guys think the bezel could be swapped for a bezel with lumed markings like the Pelagos?

>>9713275
Rodina isn't that great for bitchwrists due to 50mm lug to lug

The most powerful man on the planet wears a watch that costs less than $400

>>9714120
Only because american politicians have some weird obsession with pretending they aren't part of the powerful wealthy elite. I'm sure by February 2017 Obama is going to be pulling out all the high end Swiss watches the same way Bill Clinton traded in his Timex for a bunch of limited edition JLCs as soon as he left office.

>>9714120
Putin wears that?

>>9712853
Ebay is going to be your best bet.

>>9714140
I wonder if the patriots who believe in this kind of tidbits are even aware that the average suits of those politician can easily run for $5k+, each.
Watch is just the most go to item to dress down on to construct a certain public image, because the average person can tell the difference between a Timex and Rolex, but can't a jcrew ludlow and Oxxford suit.

>>9714995
$5K suits carefully tailored to fit poorly and look cheap in just the right way. Tan suit Obama has been the first presidential dope fit in decades and everyone complained about it.

>>9715104
That looks pretty nice, I've been trying to think what sort of strap I want to put on this watch but I haven't decided on one yet. I'm thinking leather though, maybe a leather nato or something.

I really was never cut out for fashion.

>>9715517
Looking for something like this? 7.5 inch wrists, for comparison, not that the pictures does the best at displaying the size.

>>9715420

>>9715543
More along those lines. I can make most things look cumbersome and underwhelming when they get on my body though. I almost need something akin to those thin women's watches.

>>9715581
Dunno why pic didn't finish attaching.

>>9715589
And the ones on the poorfag section that meet your criteria are basically everything but the orients. Bagelsport milgauss is kill, don't bother looking for it. The orient bambino should also just barely fit within your range at 40.5mm.
I'm done posting now, I promise.

>>9715259
Movement and price of the one on the right?

>>9715584
Well its up for sale if you change your mind, assuming my brother doesn't buy it for his girlfriend first.

>>9715619
It uses the Chinese standard movement.
Vintage zhufengs aren't super common so I can't exactly narrow down a specific price for you, but it's cheap.

>>9715589
jesus i've only just started taking an interest and noticing watches and I feel so overwhelmed

>>9715724
start slow, nig
just buy a seiko 5 or rodina as babby's first watch and go from there.

>>9711783
this, bought after my first year of work and thats almost exactly what i paid for the silver/black submariner with date.

>>9715814
Do you still have it? I'm on the fence about getting one down the track, they seem a bit cliche.

>>9715834
ya i still do. bought it in 2012. in my city (Winnipeg) nobody really knows much about watches, its more-so for those in the know. so ya, no regrets. however I would recommend getting it without the date as I think it looks cleaner.

First watch, bought on a whim. Opinions?

>>9715769
yeah, don't do this.

if you start with a cheap watch

you won't like watches

ou'll assume all watches are like invicta, or seiko 5 and will not see the "point" of a credor minute repeater

because you will never had even established the fact that in your mind watches could be nicer than a seiko 5

start off with buying a luxury watch

it will be a lot of effort and hassle worrying about walking down the bad section of LA, worrying about servicing every few years, and a watch winder

THEN

pick up a MIDRANGE watch

something you don't need to service because...why bother

and something you don't care about losing

$250-500 is about that range

>>9710365
just copped

>>9716122
what are some good brands to start with?

>>9716287
just go out there, pick a watch that you like the look of.

you know why /fa/ and r/mfa are made fun of?

they just ask others what they should buy

look at how bad they all look in their clarks, wolverines, common projects, with cheap unbranded selvedge, or acne skinny jeans

do you really want to wear a watch that advertises that you spend all your free time on the internet and buying what the forum hivemind tells you to buy?

look im not trying to preach at you

im just saying it's time to grow out of this internet rules everything around me world you seem to find yourself in

>>9716319
not the guy your replying to but saying just go out and buy one you like the look of only to realize weeks later you bought shit in sheeps clothing is annoying especially when your recommending buy a high end luxury watch on your first purchase

>>9716352
i mean im not telling this guy to go get a hublot big bang or a rado

im telling him to research a little, i could give him a list of watches i like but they may not to be his taste

so whats the point? he buys a watch i like but he doesn't and boom back to square one with the internet meme nonsense

but if he ust fucking did some leg work and researched what he wanted in the style he wanted

he won't look so ridiculous when he fastens it to his wrist and wears clothing that is outside of the scope of the internet but looks great

>>9716287
what sieg said
decide on what kind of look you like - dress or diver, simple date function or chrono, etc
A rough guide on brand tiers.

Would a leather 22mm NATO strap fit on a 20mm watch okay?

>>9717066
uh, no? if the watches lugs are just 20mm wide, you'd have a hard time pulling the nato through, and even if you managed it would look like a crumpled stack of shit

>>9717081
hm okay. I've got the straps but not the watch. Would you suggest returning them and getting 20mm straps or cutting them?

>>9717090
probably returning them, it totally depends on the quality of the straps how well they can be cut, and then there's the metal bits and stuff ...

what exactly is the problem you're having, though, if you don't have a watch; do you intend to buy one or

>>9717100
I've ordered the watch, should be about a week before it comes in the mail.

>>9717104
order new straps as well.

i think i have a 20mm nato in some random ass black color

post your address and i'll ship if i find it

>>9717130

thanks for the offer man but nah I think I might just order 3x 20mm straps, they were only like $12.
And depending on shipping costs, I may/may not return return the 22mms.
Weather is stupid hot in Australia also, most of my fits are Summer-esque so I'll probably end up wearing the nylon strap a lot more than the other three.

>>9715104
Does this kind of strap have like a specific name? Some kind of woven kind of a thing thing? Is this the "jungle strap" thing I've heard about?

There's plenty of good shit at the low end. If you start out at the top, you'll never be able to appreciate the differences between the different price points. Better to buy a cheap but acceptable automatic like a Seiko 5 or a Vostok and then buy a few midrange watches, and THEN buy a luxury watch than to just start with a $20k watch.

>hurr durr

Why waste even $100 on a thick af and inaccurate +/-15s/d automatic and not spend it on an analogue quartz while saving up a few grands towards a thin +/-1/d in house movement or at least a modified ETA 2892.

Retard.

i guess if you think hurr durr value for money good watch durr

overcomes the fact that you're a nerd in cargo shorts, a seiko 5 field watch looking like a little kid on his first boyscott rape venture than im sure it works

are you wearing that on your dick? it would explain why it looks so huge and also the pubes

>>9717464
Can you explain what makes this watch so expensive?
There's no complications.

Opinions?

>>9717565
It's white gold rather than SS for a start.

If you look at the price difference between a SS Rollie and a white gold you will see a huge jump

This along with a 60's omega speedmaster is my daily driver.
Also have a vostok in the mail that's i'm gonna mod with a new bezel.

Why do I get this feeling that if I were to buy a quartz watch that people that collect watches would look down on me?

It's like you're expected to spend a ton of money on your watch or you shouldn't bother applying. Have I misunderstood something here?

>>9717868
There's nothing wrong with quartz watches as long as they're priced correctly.

Shitty overpriced watches from mostly fashion brands is what people truely hate.

>>9717868
they won't there are some really nice quartz watches out there

back when seiko first invented it they were considered pretty damn innovtive

just like when the first led watch came out

in 30 years you might see a spring drive watch in walmart for $5

doesn't make the grand seikos any less valuable

>>9715123
>That looks pretty nice, I've been trying to think what sort of strap I want to put on this watch but I haven't decided on one yet. I'm thinking leather though, maybe a leather nato or something.

I got a mesh strap. Looks awesome imho.

>>9717905
it doesn't

don't just slap a leather nato band on shit because it looks good with some of the less busy large diamter dive watches

pay attention to what you're doing aesthetically/with the sillouette/design ethos of your case/face/watch brand

Selling these. They'll be in WUS threads in the coming week. I hope to make 5 for sale in the next 18 hours.

Interested?

>>9717913
I just think a Nato strap makes the watch appear smaller than it already is. (because of the lugs) The silver mesh makes the watch look completly different because all the colors of the face appear brighter.

>>9717933

I see it mate, don't you worry. I'm trying to sell these pieces on to fund a grail.

>>9717934

NATO straps will always make a watch sit higher. Something to keep in mind.

Blancpain TIER 1 FUCK YEAH, my favourite watches :)

>>9715518
British Special Forces here m8. Nice watch if you're in the army. I prefer G-Shock though.

>>9718178
I might be a dipshit right now but is ASL shortened for a watch name or is it the actual name like IWC.

>>9718178
And also do you have a pic?

Though he might not have paid for it, could likely have been a "gift" from an oligarch.

>>9718596
if you're an adult with less than 250 in your bank account then it's time to consider suicide

What watch case do you use?

>>9718626
Picture wasn't related.
>>9718617
I have a boner for vintage blue watches.

>>9718683
A watch box, the cheapest high rated one I could find on Amazon.

Or do you mean for traveling or something? Just pick one for your trip and wear it, it's better to just pack light. Having an expensive watch in your checked baggage is just asking for some TSA ape to decide it might be a terror threat and keep it just in case.

>buy oversized watch because it looks cool
>arm hurts after a few hours since it's so heavy

welp

does this sort of thing get better or should I try returning it?

www.stronglifts.com

>>9718998

Sounds like you need to start lifting so your watch doesn't strain your puny muscles.

>>9717173
I've heard many names from simply woven NATOs, to tropical, and now perlon.

>>9717905
I don't like it. The dial color doesn't work with that much steel, and perhaps the curved crystal doesn't work with the flat clean cut strap. The Tissot Visodate would be the opposite example despite sharing a similar case shape, the colors and angles work better.

>>9719127
I also think it's too fine of a weave.

>>9717918
How much for the Steinhart vintage military?

Your ovm1 is a keeper it's only going to go up in price. Stein Hart fucked up with the changes they made on the new one.

You have a load of watches there but it's the only one you should ha e not here buying.,

What's the best strap for a racing chrono like this?

Should I go for a NATO? Maratac Composite strap? A rally style strap?

>>9719658
Perlon

>>9719658
Rally.

My most recent project, a beautiful little abomination.

>Now with 50% more too-thick-nato-strap and 100% more slightly-misaligned-dial!

>>9715518
looks good

>>9716122
you're right, I really should start with a luxury watch. can you get your dad to buy me one?

>>9718647
I think its a matter of if its responsible to spend that not if you have it. not that guy though

>>9719887
Is that just an ETA movement installed inside a generic case?

>>9720030
Generic case yes, ETA movement no. An old A. Schild 1913 movement.

>>9718481
>right wrist

>>9720109
Neat. I've got that exact movement in an old Waltham I never post here.
Do they still make cases specifically for those, or is a really really generic case?

>>9718082

You mean the Ocean 2? Far left? $500USD shipped worldwide.

>>9719306

$650 because "muh rare"

>>9720422
What's so great about the original OVMs?

>>9720422
Good lucking swindling someone with that price.

>>9719887
why brag about this

i mean if this is a grail to you

then go buy a fake rolex

they have eta blanks in them

hurrdurr grail

>>9720153
They dont' make cases for it, but they're almost the exact same dimensions as a 2824.

Whatever happened to "black goes with everything" ?

Is there such a thing as a good Royal Oak 15300 fake? I'm contemplating one as a next purchase, but I don't know how I'll really get on with it, so I wanted to get a fake to 'try before I buy'

>>9720522

It's the one I like the most. That and my Glycine.

As much as I want to fund a Speedy I'll only let those two go for what I think is a good price given the enjoyment they've given me ;)

Is there any other watch that can pull the leather band off as well as the Rolex (explorer)?

>>9721097
I ofcourse meant DateJust, been looking at Explorers too much lately.

>>9721097
>>9721100

I can't really explain why exactly but those just don't look right to me. They might work with a different style of strap.

I have weak girl wrists, and need a watch that can be used while working on a ship. something practical and has military time.

any suggestions or thoughts?

>>9721211

>>9708606
What about the cocktail time ?

>>9721484
gimmick

looks cheap irl fluting looks lame

Can you guys tell me something?

you guys just sit there and go "should i get a seiko 5 field watch, a monster, or a 007/009 diver"

like there are no upgrades over that watch

you guys just parrot lies about seiko 007 divers like good value/inhouse movt for little money

but if you really want a diver why not get a mainline 6r15 diver?

its actually an inhouse hacking movement that is a good value for the money

the 7s26 malaysian movt nonsense you guys are trading back and forth are the low end knockoffs

year in and year out it's just disposable nonsense with teens

http://www.amazon.com/SEIKO-PROSPEX-diver-SBDC007-watches/dp/B001M5U03Y

>>9721539
tl;dr

It's so great how you can wear it with everything

>>9721539
Nah m8. I think most people here think something along the lines of "fuck, I'm a poor cunt, what is the best watch I can recieve for the little amounts of money I have to spend?" Both me and you know despite the meme status seiko 5 is a decent option

>>9721539
It's also like 3 times as expensive as a 007.

>>9721539
>the 7s26 malaysian movt nonsense you guys are trading back and forth are the low end knockoffs
What the fuck are you going on about? Yes, the 7S26 is a basic low end movement but there is nothing knockoff about it. It was designed and built in-house by Seiko almost 20 years ago. Also your precious 6R15 is just a modified 7S26 and not a 100% new design. Look it up, people of done teardown comparisons of the two.

>>9722390
look guys there is a mainspring, balance wheel, and a counterwieght

same movement!!!!!

also look at my toyota, brakes, engine 4 wheels

it's just a modified supra twin turbo except not at all

not mine but want to buy the shit out of it

Either that or the perlon strap, also looks great.

>>9715259
Name of the watch on the right?

Where do you guys buy chinese watches like stuff from the Beijing Watch Factory?

>>9722599
Because that's a reddit watch.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Junghans makes fine watches.
What do they have to do with Reddit?

>>9722712
owned by the same corporation

>>9722432
The 6R15 is literally a 7s26 with a winding works, hacking mechanism, and Spron mainspring. Quit being retarded.

>>9722712
Reddit loves bauhaus. So while the watches themselves are good, they have negative associations.
