While it's theoretically possible for that to be a 90's watch it's more likely to be from the 2000's
If I liked the look of that particular watch I'd buy that exact watch of yahoo or ebay or whatever.
Modern seiko chronos use the 8R family of movements which are modular. This is a less impressive, less interesting way of making a chronograph as they're just adding a chronograph module on top of an existing movement.
The older 6S family are superior in the sense that it was designed as a chronograpgh from the start and the chrono features are integrated into the movement.

>> No.14826409

>>14826404
Another way of summarizing the differences between the 6s and 8r are the display backs.
From the back, the 8r chronos look exactly like a normal watch since the chrono module is hidden from view on top of the normal movement.
With a 6s family movement the chronograph parts are visible from the back

So basically, speaking from experience, Modern seiko chronos with the 8R movement should probably be avoided. They're super thick, they look boring from the back. they're kinda soulless with their chrono module slapped on top of a normal movement etc.

This is very unfortunate because the seiko chrono with the best looks (imo) has an 8R family movment, albeit a rare upgraded one with a grand seiko escapement. It's just lipstick on a pig. A modular movement like the 8R is never going to have the soul of a 6S. One is a cost cutting corporate product and the other was built form the start with a purpose

Skelatonization is the process of cutting away the dial and plate and decoratively engraving the plate and sometimes the parts. A watch with an open dial and no decorative engraving is NOT a skeleton, it's just an open faced watch.
That is what skeletonization means yes, it doesn't just mean an open dial watch. of course hamilton, oris etc have brought out open dial watches but they don't call them skeletons because of he lack of hand engraving, the lack of skeletonization.

Mechanical* kek
Its been a bit over a month since I had these and all three are running and working great by the way.
Easily some of my favorite buys and I'll be wearing them for years to come.
Strange how just being mechanical makes me so much more attached to a watch, when I owned a quartz tuna I loved the case shape but the dial, handset and movement just didn't compel me to wear it like these do.

Anyone else feel this way about quartz? Watches with ticking hands or really smooth sweeps just seem soulless to me.

Any particular watch you like at $2k?
Depending on how hard it is for you to save up, I'd buy some cheap but nice classic watch in the $500-1K range, like the sarb033. Or a used higher end brand like omega or Breitling for ~$2k. Avoid overpriced ETA shitters in the +$1k-3k like sinn, TAG, Oris etc.

I've read that the synthetic or composite or whatever the fuck escapement helps with friction or some shit? Wouldn't that help pr in some way?
Wait so the virtually any basic 2824 could double their PR of you just magically slowed the beat? Is that all there is to it?

Someone on WUS once sent a message to Mido to ask about their implementation of this 80 hour movement and the rep replied that none of mido's watches with these moments "use plastic parts".
Now whether that's just a bold faced lie or just BS spewed by the typically clueless CS agents of any brand or just them answering with regards to a technicality ("oh it's not *plastic* per se so..."), who can say.

But Mido has always felt discernably less shitty than Tissot to me in regards to the swatch totempole. Certina is bottom, just above swatch itself, then Tissot. Maybe Longines edges past Mido but not by much imo. Anyway, I'd think it possible that different brands in the group utilize different kinds of movements in different ways so though Tissot say plastic in all but cosc, despite my misgivings with the swetch group in general, it wouldn't surprise me if Mido used no plastic at all in any iteration if these new movements.
But who can attest to the truth anyway?
Want to buy a Mido and strip it to bits?
I've always been fond of the classic commander model.

I always go for rose gold on all of my watches because I feel like it's more youthful while platinum is more sophisticated.

The synthetic escapement is because its self lubricating so doesn't require oiling.
Think about it logically, the power reserve it based on it beating a certain amount of times, if you reduce the amount that happens the power will last longer. That's why the VC Twin Beat can be switched to 1.2hz (8640 bph), that way it gets 65 days of PR to keep the perpetual calendar going.

Not exactly. They're both based on the same platform but just saying "hurr durr it's a the same shitty movement without a rotor" is just showing how retarded you are.

The ETA 2824 has two issues with handwinding, first in the weaker keyless works as the crown wheel is more delicate as it has a lot more teeth on the gear and they are smaller while the 2801 has less and larger teeth on said gear. The second issue is that the reversing wheels have very delicate pawls in them that have a tendency to break/wear over time, and only in the automatic winding mechanism that's only found on the 2824

I thought i made it rather clear the guy is talking out of his ass.

It's part of the design since the idea is that the autowind mechanism engaged with the crown wheel as well. The autowind gear train is basically the rotor gear connected to the two reversing wheels and two reduction gears one after the other which in the end connect to the crownwheel.

And as the autowind is supposed to charge a lot less per turn than a handwind to put less stress on the movement so it makes sense. Is it a good design choice? Not necessarily but it's still better to have an option to handwind it a bit rather than go the simpler approach like Seiko at the time (1970's) with the 61XX cal and 7XXX cal movements not having handwinding. Albeit the Seiko's having a more sophisticated/better/simpler autowind mechanism a la magic finger (And also the 83XX cal movements from the late 60's with reversing gears).

>And I said that eventually the winding will start to slip because the keyless works are garbage on ETAs.
Maybe, I've had and sold ETA 27XX's and 2472's that were well worn but still worked well as they were serviced and weren't beat to shit.

The 2824-2 is so well documented because they've been sticking it in every low to mid end automatic for years, and it's this specific movement that has the gear train issue with the crown wheel. (IIRC isn't even considered part of the keyless works as it's a gear)

>if a fucking vostok can have a fully jeweled powertrain with proper handwinding and reversing gear bi-directional rotor winding theres no fucking excuse for this horseshit.

Yet a Vostok has no hacking, no quicksetting, much lesser performance OOB and is generally much more crudely made/finished. And i've seen Vostoks that have had some very wonky winding over the years, mostly from wear and abuse like any other watch. They are also rather easy to work on. (Except that seconds hand spring with the small annoying screw)

And though the automatic gear train is similar in general layout but on a Vostok 2416 instead of two reduction gears and and it being connected to the crown wheel it has a reduction wheel and a part that reminds me of chronograph clutch of a Seiko 613X chrono and connects directly to the mainspring ratchet (IIRC called a pinion). However that makes the movement overall taller.

A speedmaster will still attract attention from some people, and retard third worlders will probably think every diver with a polished steel case and a dark dial is a Rolex. The vintage Heuer is actually not a bad call, but nu-TAG has an air of shitterness that might eventually poison your opinion of it.

Field watches would probably be the safest bet if you can find one you like. Hamiltons are popular choices, or you could look at fliegers from Laco and Stowa and such.

I love my little air king. One of my favorite watches but for those who perhaps are a bit put off by smaller sizes, try silver or white dials. In many instances like this it helps it to visually blend in with the case to get a bit of a larger visual footprint. Darker dials would disappear.

Here’s a gem I adore. Steinhart Explorer 39. First yes it is a homage to explorer dial subs but differed in a few ways. The case profile is actually more similar to an Oris divers 65 than a submariner which while normally I prefer the oyster case, this choice really helps push home the vintage inspired aesthetic. A bit cheeky on the dial doing a two line setup with 100m for vintage touch but it’s still rated to 300m so is still a great functional piece. Bezel is aluminum helping to keep to the vintage feel and the slightly domed sapphire while contributing a bit to thickness does the same. It’s not a thick watch by any means and slips well under the cuff of a sweater but specs and practical dimensions don’t line up here. The dial is done with a subdued aged look and thankfully the logo is as well unlike with the OVM. This lets it fade into the background and let it feel function driven. Also the bracelet is a dream, wears a lot like my real oysters but better clasp than my vintage Rolex’s. Also the articulating mid link means it wears even on my tiny wrists. And with an Elaboré grade eta movement (mine is getting +4 s/d) it’s a reliable tank. Yes a bit homage esc but it’s more in line with the inspired rather than copy, that and pulls from basically unobtainum references that I wouldn’t want to beat up even if I had one.

Buy something cheap.
Buy something less than 300$.
Every single new mechanical between 300 (less, ideally, >150) and at least about 4000 is a waste of money and provides nothing substantial for the coin. You're better off saving rather than blowing your load early on an unsatisfying ripoff.
Generic steel cases, bracelets, movements, all made in China, no matter whether it says "Swiss" or "Japan" on the dial, no matter the brand.
A case could be made for some German brands that actually make things in Germany and produce mainly tool watches that attempt to make up for things with advanced tech (eg. Damasko) and maybe Nomos if you can stomach the style (they look better in pics than in person, if at all), but you have to be into that shit and damasko has horrendous CS and are pretty fucking boring.

Buy cheap or buy expensive when it comes to mechs.
That middling ground of mediocrity is imo a waste of cash.

So Speedy, Sinn, etc. don't exist?

>> No.14834492

>>14834463
Speedy is okay if you're okay with a made in china meme watch from a failed brand, sinn has gimmicks rather than actually good innovations but it I'd rather ay sinn over any modern omega.

Not many survived.
Closets you can get is a german pilot watch. A flieger b-uhr is good enough.
