I just got my first job outta college (CS fag reporting in). The office environment is business casual, and in my department even more so.

I’ve never owned a watch before, so I’m on some tutorial level shit here. I’m reluctant to go for a Seiko, and prefer something a brand a bit more unknown. Anyone have a good beginner watch recommendation that isn’t immediately recognizable?

It has 50 hours which is way, way more than enough, and this is literally irrelevant anyway as neither have a date, and if you've taken a watch off your wrist after 50 hours you're unlikely to put it back on after another 15.

>Not column wheel as Omega cheaped out.
No one cares.

Literally none of this matters because the Speedy went to the moon and the Omega didn't.

Go buy a shitter and bury yourself alive wearing it, fucker. If you have a job in CS you can easily afford a $3000 watch, that's the point at which a watch becomes worth buying.

Buying a Daytona is literally the equivalent to buying into that boutique fake bullshit history that microbrands try to pull off with pictures of vintage cars and propellers, fucking embarrassing.

The Daytona has no heritage, no history and no value.

Literally your own argument sounds like a marketing gist.
If you want to talk about their contributions go for it but being present in a "historical moment" is kinda passive and irrelevant.
Also, arguably going to the moon had no fucking impact in human progress compared to other landmarks in the space race.

I would definitely want a more casual watch. I liked how the Hamilton Khaki looks, as the one anon suggested. So I guess in general I’d prefer a strap instead of the bracelet (I hope I’m using those terms correctly). Price range is $500-$1000.

And yes I am trying to be a special snowflake. I like the idea of having an obscure watch brand. Not even obscure, just something that a normie wouldn’t immediately recognize. Couldn’t tell you my wrist size but I would wager it’s on the smaller side.

I just bought the two tone rolex above. Got it for a good price but my income doesnt refelect that off a man wearing a datejust haha

I plan on selling the watches ive gathered over the years and getting an omega speedmaster professional for a more daily wearer and keeping the rolex (used but mint condition) for a special occasion or to give to a son or my brother or something

Just didnt find myself wearing my watches enough, so i figured instead of having 10 ok watches id have 2 good ones

I'll probably get $1000 for all the watches i plan on selling

The sarb is a beautiful watch? Id rather one of you guys enjoy (for a fair price) then for it to sit in my drawer

But I want to ask, does this watch always come with Arabic+Eng? Because I don't want it that way. It is noticable when the watch is changing the day at night, the arabic appears for a while before the english day appears.

Held them both, the pushers of the new daytona feel flimsy to say the least and the action feels cheap. Would still love to have an older one, but the Speedmaster wins if the brandname didn't matter. It looks and feels so much more like a quality toolwatch. Of course nobody uses a watch as a tool anymore, so it's all status, marketing and nostalgia.

Neither has the 1861 Speedmaster Professional. The Speedmaster that actually went to the moon was the 321 version, and the present Speedmaster is riding the marketing of a different watch because it appeals to thirsty cunts like you who would suck a dick for some perceived social status.

I will agree to this 100% having also handled them both. But I want to add that the movement in the daytona is more modern, plus it's automatic. But then again, the 1861 (particularly 1863) is much prettier to look at.

Only a few daytonas look good tho, this pic related one is the best looking and probably the only daytona I would buy.

But you're buying a watch and not wearing it. That's a huge waste of money. Especially when you aren't in an environment where a formal watch fits every now and then.

Watches over a thousand in general are a bit like that, but this is like buying a nice car and leaving it in the garage forever, not even taking it out to track days.

I suggest that you at least wear it in conditions where you won't grind away bits of the watch during your warehouse work.

Make sure you check what the recommended service interval is on that Bathyscaphe flyback chronograph...a 5hz free sprung balance with the timing screw heads on the outside of the balance wheel is a recipe for a movement that needs a hell of a lot of torque and therefore which will need short service intervals between expensive services.

There were lots of mechanical Seiko models in the 1960s and 1970s with textured dials, but I'm not sure of any with 100% applied indices off the top of my head.

Examples of models with linen dials would be Lord Marvel 36000s with the 5740c movement and King Seiko 5245s (eg pic related).

That model will have much better external fit and finish than an SRPB model. SBDx tier Seikos have their cases and bracelets made in the same supply chain as Grand Seiko, though non GS models of course don't (normally) get as much zratsu polishing or quite as much finishing work.

Personally, I've never had an issue with hardlex, but sapphire is still more scratch resistant.

I think there's more than one grade of Hardlex. I had a Seiko 5 a long time ago and the crystal was shit and got scratched all the time.

Because the money is in the labor not the material. Knives and forks can be mass produced in an automated way requiring little to no manual finishing work, while stainless steel watch cases still require the polishing and brushing to applied manually, particularly on more upscale watches.

Also most watch cases are machined using CNC machines (even stamped blanks require machining afterwards) while basic cutlery can be stamped and then have automated finishes applied to it.

Well, using a different name and making highly complicated watches doesn't appear to have Credor a single customer who would have been put off by their Seiko ownership, so I'd have to say no.

I know next to nothing about watches; more or less a normie.
Is there a recommended search or aggregate site where I can input what aesthetics I like?

I know there is no accounting for taste, and any demands are my own, so I thought it best to look for an automated tool rather than waste /wt/'s time and number of posts on my own personal bullshit.

Ah damn, okay.

Well the watch I've had my eye on as "the one", ticks all my boxes is this Armani "Steel strap watch" (as its called on the website).
+stainless steel band (i have eczema so I need non allergic unlike nickle and wont give indian burn like leather and silicone)
+relatively minimalist face with no numbers, sans the date
+black face and band
+markings in white/reflective metal for high contrast
AU$ 529

Like I said, I am pretty much a normie, so I don't know what makes a good watch and whether this actually is a good watch. I don't particularly mind the price IF the watch is good, I don't want to spend hundreds just for a brand name.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 14 04:55:38 2018 No.13514953 >>13514910 chrono24 has a pretty good search function with lots of options under the MORE heading. It's a good place to get a general idea of available types of the aesthetic you want.

You don't get a lot of watch for the money if you buy "armani" watches. You can find plenty of watches in this style that are actually decent watches. I think what you want is either some kind of eta watch or something. Do you care about the watch being quartz or automatic?

Does it have to be black, or do you like normal steel watches too?

>eta watch
I'll look into those, thanks.
>quartz or automatic
I don't know what the difference is. I am fine either way.
> have to be black, or do you like normal steel watches too
Normal steel is okay, I trend towards black because the silver/gold looking watches seem too ostentatious. Black feels more muted and an accessory, not the focal point of my attire.

ETA is the movement, you don't get much by just googling "ETA", but try

Google these 3 different ref numbers (these are 3 watch models I think look kinda like the one you posted) and these are better than anything Armani will give you:

T101.407.11.051.00

05-5287.04.007

T101.451.11.051.00

The last one is quarz, and might be what you want in terms of movement, if you don't even know or care about what "automatic" is. It is also the most precise of the three.

>>13514970
Oh and to be clear, the last one (T101.451.11.051.00) is also the one I recommend for a normie like you. It's a good quartz movement from ETA and the watch looks good and simple, I believe it's similar to what you want, also in my opinion it looks much better than the armani watch aesthetically, but that part is personal I guess.

Main point is that it's quartz. This means you only need to care about changing the battery every 5-10 years (closer to 10). I
f you buy a mechanical watch like the first of the three, it will need servicing by a watchmaker from time to time, because he will have to tinker with the movement to make it go smooth.
