This thread is about the appreciation of fine timepieces such as the Casio f-91w as well as the electrical and chemical engineering that are required to make a fine plastic timepiece.

Similarly I have a black bay homage in the limbo between some Hong Kong airline and the local end thereof. At least it's moving forward somewhere now; it was in a warehouse for some 25 days first.

I like a nice Rolex as much as any watch enthusiast, but Unfortunately about 95% of the people who own Rolex’s are not watch people. I’ve never met a person who owned a Rolex irl who was a watch person, but I’m sure they are out there. I mean they post on the Rolex forums.
One of the best “conversations” I’ve had with a Rolex owner was in a high end aquarium store. Was looking at a black tang when I saw the guy next to me wearing a Daytona. So I said “hey nice Daytona” and he responded with “no, it’s a Rolex”.

We were feet apart and I pointed at his wrist.
Post wasn’t meant as a slam against Rolex because, like I said, I am a fan.
Similar thing happened to one of my buddies, but with cars.
He’s a big Porsche guy and saw someone at a gas station that had a 946. And he went up to him and told him that he liked his 946 but the guy said it was a 911, and he told him about how it wasn’t and then the guy just blurts out “I bought a 911, I think I know what I bought” and speeds off.

There are several sellers in Western Europe that carry Vostok. You can find them easily in eBays search function. You’ll even find some on Amazon, in stock in America, but at 30% higher cost.

The wait time for Russian post is notoriously long. With Coronavirus about, shipment times are being delayed even more so. I’ve been told there were staffing cuts and cut hours at Russian postal. Take these issues, plus traditional Russian wait times, and you’re shipment will take anywhere from 3 to 4 months

if seiko is charging that much then the street price should eventually hit like 700 which I guess is tolerable. seiko used to be the value kangz though so it's kind of sad that this is a fairly basic watch being offered for 1100, if they had launched them at 600 it would be very attractive

They've done a few cool things with the new willards tho.
It's the only 're-issue' which is actually smaller than the original, braceleted one also has a milled not stamped clasp.
Still too big for my tastes but it's pretty rare for Seiko to actually listen to it's fan base.

It looks really cool, but it requires the trained eye to make sense of anything beyond time/day/date. I know the Navihawks are top notch engineering and are true pilot's watches, but beyond that I'm not wearing one. I couldn't say something like, "too busy of a dial" because every facet offers a function.

6/10 nice watch, but not for me

EDIT: Thanks for the silver fellow redditors
EDIT v2: Just for clarification, I'm not blasting Citizen. I have an Orca and an EcoZilla, so I'm definitely a fan. I just can't buy into the "aviator" aesthetic. It's just wasted on my wrist haha

It's supposed to be like a Navitimer which is to pilots like a Rolex is to boomer middle manages. It's the "I made it" status watch. That said I rarely see pilots wearing these either because they are a bitch to read and unnecessary, I talked to an actual pilot who said some people get these when they graduate flight school or something but they eventually just end up getting Rolex GMTs or some kind of Casio because it's just easier and as you get older you can't even tell what's going on with the dial on complicated watches like the Navitimer.

Zenmarket is the one that gets shilled here frequently. Haven't used them myself but they seem to be good.
Japanese sellers are autistic assholes that consider asking for a retun an insult to their family name or something so you have to go into it with the understanding that all sales are final 99% of the time. Some of them will even refuse to sell to proxy services because they hate foreigners so much.

before I got my watch that can't be overwound, I figured out exactly how much winding yielded 15 minutes of timekeeping, and so I scratched some markers on the crown and crown guard. I'd have a reminder on my phone to wind it this much every 15 minutes.

It's the symbol of the Daini house in Seiko.
Seiko used to have 2 competing design houses, Daini & Suwa. They thought that if they were competing in-house they would always be at their best. Daini's high end watches were King Seiko & Suwa made Grand Seiko.
They stopped making watches that way in the 80s. Daini became SII and make mostly mechanical watches, Suwa became Epson Seiko and make mostly quartz watches.
I think this is because Daini tended to make the better mech movements and Suwa made the best quartz within Seiko.

Haha, very helpful. I know that some (most?) mainsprings are designed so that they simply start slipping when overwound, so that you can't fuck them up, but from the feeling of it, the ST19 appears not to have this luxury, and I can't see the mainspring through the display caseback to confirm.

can you wind it forever? if no, then it doesn't have this feature, sorry.
meme answer aside, just wind until you start to feel resistance. or, alternatively, find how many winds it takes to wind from 0 to full, and then do like 85% of this when you wind it.
any watch with a winding mechanism like this can't be too much to replace, anyways.

I want a positive MIP for nicer layouts, although the whole g-shock styling is full retard with ugly fonts.

Honestly, my perfect watch is one that will almost certainly never exist, radio solar combined with a programmable low memory, high battery life processor and a MIP or dot matrix display.

Yeah programmable is a tough one. I'm sure some autistic NEET from /g/ will make one eventually but it will be an ugly piece of shit in a giant 3d printed case.

I do agree a positive MIP display even with just 4 or 5 different fonts and layouts would be awesome. Seiko kind of sort of did that with some of the digital watches they made but mostly they just had different pictures of jojo or some other anime shit.

Grand Seiko's mechanical movements are not really that impressive. Their spring drive removes the most interesting and complex parts of the mechanical movement from the watch.

Aesthetically speaking GS has a lot of designs, but no really great designs. High quality detail finishing can only serving to enhance an overall design, it can not compensate for a bland or ugly design.

Mechanically speaking spring drive removes the most difficult to make elements from the movement. Quartz regulation removes a lot of what I find personally appealing about watches.

is this not a beautiful watch?

GS =/= spring drive. There are seiko spring drives that arent in the GS line. (prospex has some) The GS line has spring driver, purist mechanicals, and quartz. Its what GS is most famous for, but its only 1/3 of what they do offer

why does timex get a pass on making shitty watches when other brands would get shat on for it?

>brass case
>cheapo loud-as-fuck quartz

their watches arent even that cheap, $40 for a weekender is expensive when you consider casio is making $10 quartz watches and the chinese have seiko automatics for $60

>GS this, GS that...
I just don’t feel it. They have awesome textured dials (as have/had the other higher priced Seikos) but the whole package just doesn’t do much for me. Guess I would have to try it out to really know it, but from the pics, they just don’t speak to me.

they follow the law of kiss (keep it simple stupid) design with a hint of old American utilitarian art deco thrown in. I appreciate that seikos are finer machines on the inside for the price but...I mean the modern ones pretty ugly, depending on your taste. Pure engineer core.

msrp may be 40 but I paid 25 from an eBay seller and I saw a few on Groupon for 10.
mine's been extremely durable and waterproof. the tick can only be heard firstly if there is zero background noise and then either the dial is pointed at my ear (wrist absorbs it from caseback, much more muted from side) or if it's off my wrist and reverberating on the table. so, never, basically.
I like the analog quartz casio look also but weekenders have a much more classic look.
