this lorus (RXF41AX7) looks similar and is a far better watch than what you posted. a bit more expensive though, like 15 euros more.

these are the official ones but tbqh they look fucking ugly. I'd get the blue one if it was a different shade of blue. the pink and the green one look alright though. thoughts/alternatives to something similar?

Looked at the Airking and found this one by accident. I think I like the bracelet on the Tudor better and it's much cheaper. The ETA movement versus Rolex's in-house movement makes no difference to me. If anything, it would be easier (and cheaper) for my watchmaker to service it.
Originally I was looking for an older Explorer, but prices are ridiculous with the whole watchcraze of the last few years. The 36mm Tudor Sub is nice, but still a Sub and everyone and their grandmother has one. The Black Bay is nice, but too big for me. If you get a boner for movements and/or want to sell it later spend a little more on a newer Black Bay with the in-house movement.
So I think the Prince is the best choice for me right now.

Prices on all watches coming out of Switzerland are getting jacked up. Rolex has always been a tool watch compared to PP, JLC, VC, AP, etc. even though they try to market otherwise. They also go for a wider consumer base. As an everyday watch they're are good value if you stick with the classic steel models.

a bit unrelated, but i'm the guy that was considering to order some custom leather wallets from a certain french leather specialist
my straps are from another french house, which frankly has marginally better materials and finising, but i'm going with the former because their designs are more 'pragmatic', and i've seen menswear stoes in japan carry them, and i trust jap's taste when it comes to these things

anyhow, i randomly checked their instagram and saw this
i'm no leather expert but i've handled quality gator/croc, and this one looks a bit poor, dry-looking, uneven scales and lines
their stuff i've seen in person look fine, but just this pic that makes me have second thoughts
i wonder if it's because it's made by a branch across the pond? the watch is a citizen? the client requested this himself? that i should go back to my usual maker and ask them to do a one off design for me?

long story short, opinions on the (quality of) strap in pic?

If it was me I wouldn't buy any of them.

The first remind me of Ireland.

The second I just find the lume off-putting the lettering on the dial and the unnecessary split-second indices bother me.

Same for the third.

The 4th is just meh. Looks generic and cheap.

The 5th is just weird. Flieger styling with a glossy day date dial?

If you really have to get one I would go with the 2nd.

Besides the point. 6139 as an example. First automatic chronograph available to the public, priced at around $650 in 1969. Famous for being worn by Bill Pogue in space. Despite all that, great condition 6139-6002's are only fetching around $4~500. Factor in service costs for such an uncommon movement and it's far from an investment.

No sense in turning your nose up at a fantastic brand that has created some of the most distinctive watches of all time. The manufacturers you mentioned are all great and are crafted to a higher standard than Rolex, but there is no reason to look down on Rolex just because of this

Much of the proceeds from a Rolex watch go to charity, livable wages to workers, etc.
Everything you've ever bought at retail has had the price jacked up. Rolex has high prices because they are masters of marketing and they know that this creates demand for the product. It is a Veblen good

Personally I hate the Visodate, I think it's really plain and unrefined looking and every single Tissot just looks really cheap. Have you looked at the Hamilton Jazzmaster watches instead? I like a lot of those and they're nicer than the Khaki watches, although they may be out of your budget. The Hamilton Intra-matic is also pretty cool but not quite the same style as those watches you posted and also out of your budget a bit.

I'm not a fan of that Seiko SNK either, why not get an Alpinist (SARB017) instead? The Alpinist is a very nice looking watch which is also green and gold and it's on the same (surprisingly high) level of quality as the other SARBs you listed, that SNK is a cheaper watch.

But I have to say I'm biased towards Seiko and if you want a SARB then I would absolutely recommend it, I love both of my SAR* watches.

Any suggestions on what watch should I buy for wearing with a suit at work? I'm usually wearing a navy blue one with black shoes and black belt with a silver bucke, so I'm looking for something classic, silver frame/white face/black leather strap. Any suggestions?

I'm starting to wonder if the one I ordered is fake. There were only two available online, and when the listing ended after the order, the seller put up the exact same pictures for the same watch. They have a spotless feedback record, but I don't know how much stock I'd put in it.

That's because it's a Seiko which isn't necessarily a bad brand. The 6139 does use a speshul snowflake movement that you cannot handwind so it's going to cost more to service. Look at the prices of vintage Daytonas and pre-moon Speedmasters fetch. They are all based on Lemania or Venus movements that common and easy to service.

The main thing holding me back from the SARB is the 38mm diameter. Currently have the 38mm Invicta 8926OB diver as my beater, and it looks a little small on my wrist. If it was 40-42 mm I'd likely cop immediately no problem.

Ah, hadn't considered that (sorry, watch noob here). It's close now, a 42 would definitely be too big. Plus, the smaller dial on my diver was likely skewing my perspective now that I think about it.

Opinions on Seiko's kinetic watches?

I didn't really care much about watches until I needed one for nursing. Got a cheap one from amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Medical-Nurse-Reader-Watch/dp/B002NL0U7C

Had buyer's remorse; walked into a few watch/jewelry shops. Saw this. Fucking beautiful to my untrained eyes.

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKA623-Analog-Display-Japanese/dp/B00I1M2138

It was on clearance too for $160. I don't know if that is a decent price, but

Kinetic watch running on quartz. I don't know much about it other than it's like having a dog; gotta walk it daily. Otherwise, I'd end up replacing capacitors for 40-90 dollars.

then I saw the Seiko 007 recommendation

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKX007K-Divers-Automatic-Watch/dp/B000B5MI3Q

Pretty nice.

I'm looking for a watch I can wear on most occasions. Simple, dependable, nice to look at.

Any word on kinetic? Are they a bad buy? Should I buy the automatic watch instead? Any nurses here that can recommend a decent watch for work?

The seiko kinetic models are basically battery powered quartz watches. The only difference is instead of having a battery, there's a rotor(like in automatic mech watches) that spins a little generator that charges a small capacitor to power the hands like a battery.

-Keeps accuracy way better than mechanical because it's Quartz
-no battery to replace, but capacitor will eventually go bad after 15-25 years.
-still a quartz

>>11124525
>one question: since 009 is automatic, why do I have to shake it to wind it?

shaking it (or just wearing it on your wrist as you go about your business) spins a weight in the watch that winds a spring and makes the watch run. That's called automatic because you put it on your wrist and don't do anything. If it runs all the way out though, you have to give it a shake to get it started.

I'm not buying the SKA623 because some anon said kinetic is still quartz. I'd like a mechanical/automatic watch so I went with the 009. I was going to choose the 007 but I really like the pepsi look. I'll probably buy a decent NATO strap to replace the standard rubber strap.

You know, the SKA623 still looks real nice. To me, the pictures online doesn't really do watches justice, which is why I favor going to the store to try watches on. The depth and the way the different shades of blue hits the light. It's a shame that its kinetic..

Take it to a watchmaker to get a new crystal. It's a very simple job and it should be cheap, it'll make the watch look a million times better. Generic replacement crystals are cheaper but for my quartz Seiko similar to yours I was able to find an original Seiko replacement crystal so you can probably do that for yours too if you want to keep all the parts original.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to get the movement serviced too, I bet it runs fine as it is because quartz is so durable but a servicing would get it nice and clean and make it last many more years.

I bought an NOS Big Zero a couple of months ago and it's a neat looking watch but it's really pretty horrible quality with shitty dial printing and a dirty poorly finished movement that ticks really loudly.
