This thread is about the appreciation of watches and their design, their history, and the engineering and materials that are required to make a functioning timepiece.

Countdown bezels are infinitely more applicable and actually useful on watches than the regular elapsed time bezel.
It's a shame that it's such a niche feature; I'd much prefer it and actually use it compared with the regular kind.

I use it for gaming or cooking. The feature mostly shines whenever I have to time 2 things at once. Like when I'm farming two things in a game or heating up two different things.

I can remember one instance easily but it's easy to forget your second target so the bezel helps.

They might be overhyped but they are good watches. And they can't be overpriced by definition because the market is actually setting the price higher than the retailer.

Anyway, I want to splurge around 5k on a good watch, more or less. I already have an Omega, IWC disappointed me. You really can't go much better than Rolex, at that price point.

[Anonymous No.15578712]

>>15578689
I didn't spend the whole day with the watch open trying to regulate it you dingus.

I moved the lever, then waited to measure accuracy, then adjusted it again accordingly. Doing this back and forth allowed me to make the watch much more accurate.
Also I sleept in-between, started yesterday in the afternoon and did my last regulation at about 1 PM today

>So you spent an entire day to save 20 seconds a day.... Seriously?

20 seconds a day is pretty massive, even for a cheap orient, the F6922 movement is more than capable of +/- 1s per day, but employees have to regulate about a dozen watches at a time in the manufacture, so they can't afford to spend so much time per watch to make them accurate, this is why their tolerence is -15/+25, seiko has even looser tolerance values ranging from -35 to +45 s/day despite sharing the same movement parts.

So yes, I did spend "an entire day" to regulate my watch so I can now enjoy having an accurate mechanical watch that I won't have to service in the next five years or more.

[Anonymous No.15578785]

>>15578767
Pic related is the F6922, it's really convenient, push the small lever to make your adjustments.
The big lever underneath is used to correct the beat error, unless you have a timegrapher you should never touch it.

Some movements use screws, some use different kind of levers, but I think pretty much all modern movements can be adjusted to such high tolerences yes.


use a powerful lense to see what you do. Also general rule of thumb : always use a lense, if you can see the lever move, you're overdoing it, unless your watch is minutes too fast or slow per day.


>I'm be more interested to know how long it stays at that level.

Technically it would stay as accurate for life once regulated, but if parts start to wear out, or oil lose it's properties, or if it gets magnetized, then it will lose accuracy, you'd need to service it at this point to regain the original accuracy.
People really underestimate cheap movements, but they're really just "inaccurate" out of the box because of factory tolerances, not because they can't be more accurate.

There are a lot of things for journos (like the Hodinkee guy who lurks around here) to unveil about these Rolex-related crimes.
How much are these blood rolexes going for on the black market? Who buys them, like, a mover obviously, but who are its "end users"? Is there a clientele for blood rolexes in the second/third world or are they used as collateral in criminal dealings? Do they scratch/fake the serials? Do the watches get disassembled by rogue amateur "watchmakers" and sold as parts to unassuming buyers? Are there insane collectors like those who pay a premium for dictator watches, the serial killer seawolf, etc. who took their sick hobby to the next level with blood rolexes?

No... I disagree with you massively.

The countdown bezel only really works to give you a destination time. It is not useful at all for showing you when you started counting down unless you physically remember it.

The classic dive watch 'elapsed time' is far superior in every logical way as it shows you both the starting point and the end point (eg. You want to bake lasagne, all you need is the memory that it takes 40 mins) and you can easily look and see how much time has passed and how much time is left to go.

With countdown timers you have to physically remember the time at the start of the process, it's annoying.

I get wanting the original bauhaus watch but that's the thing, Junkers was really early onto that too. They just didn't slap Marcel Breuer's name directly on the watch the way Junghan did with Max Bill.
And if we're gonna talk heritage, then Junkers dating back to the mid 19th century and being one of the first aeronautic companies in the world is slightly noteworthy.

>it was pretty much designed at the same time as the Max Bill.
Do you have a source on this? I find it hard to believe that two designers came up with the exact same thing at the exact same time without one copying the other.

Max Bill and Marcel Breuer (who designed Junkers' first bauhaus-style watches, though not the currently produced version) were pretty much the same age and studied the then brand new Bauhaus Theories under the same teachers. When that style started to make wave in architecture, a lot of other industries started to be interested and hired designers from the same schools and generations. Breuer was already working for Junkers and had designed a lot of furniture for them. Max Bill was brought in for a single partnership.

Many soldiers in the past would wear their watches on a chain around their necks under their shirts to avoid the glint on their wrists or the mechanics being fucked by hard bang bangs... I think.

Funny, I have a very similar 5206 coming in from yahoo japan for parts (though it's missing its hands and the faceted crystal is not looking good, but it was very cheap too). I need parts for the keyless works of a 5246 that had badly rusted ones. Cleaning made it functional but I don't like the rough feel, and the calendar quickset doesn't work well.
Also since I have accumulated several beat up 5606s (get one for parts, get another one to replace the parts I took etc...) I got decent looking non-runner 5606 LM to fit a working movement in if it can't be fixed. Oh, and a 8346 Business-A that I came across randomly and just threw a low bid in. First time working on one of those.

Show us one field watch on a chain then because I don't think I've seen any.
To avoid the glint, the usual trick was to wear the dial inside the wrist rather than outside.

Not gonna lie, the chain thing I read in a previous /wt/, and the dude said he talked to Vietnam dudes that said it, so it's hearsay of hearsay, I got shit all for source.

When it comes to the inner wrist thing, I guess it's multi-function, because I (armyfag) wear one on my inner wrist to be able to tell time while holding my rifle.

[Anonymous No.15580496]

>>15580492
The chain thing sounds like it could have been the case pre-WW2 when pocketwatches were the norm and wearing yours around your neck would be a safer way to keep it than having it in your pocket if you're going to run and duck.
AFAIK WW2 had mostly if not only wristwatches already, granted I'm not much of a military buff.

Hey guys. I need suggestions on a watch for my girlfriend. Im looking for something classy that isnt bulky. I dont know anything about watches so im open to anything that is not bulky and big, classy and under 125€. I was thinking maybe a silver plated watch?

That seiko watch on the pic is really nice. She is fancy, wears silver rings, silver earrings and silver necklaces. She likes beige, black and burgundy clothes. Thats why i was thinking silver. She has a simple if a bit show off-ish style. Something simple yet noticeable would be perfect.

Stick to stainless steel. You can even tell her it's silver if you want, women can't tell the difference either way.

Seiko SUR322. A little on the large side for a woman's watch, if she has really small wriats you may need to go down to 36mm or smaller.

It’s probably those two brands if you want a “proper” watch from a real watch company.
There are plenty of cheap quartz fashion watches, like Michael Kors, MVMT, Daniel Wellington etc. They can look very good, are easy and simple because of the quartz, but also overpriced even though they might cost the same as the two others. People here will scoff at them, but if you and your gf prefer the look and simplicity of the fashion watches, there’s nothing wrong with getting one.

I've been lusting over a few Elektronika 5 on ebay. They look like a digital watch but more rugged/rougher than a Casio. Some of them have kinda delicate metal straps, which I would prefer for my lanky wrists.

TL;DR: experience with Elektronika 5 watches?
