>and feels better made.
Ok, I’ll give you that. I guess technically my kommandiersky is also a Nustok, since it’s apparently a new design (essentially it’s an Amphibia, but slightly better made and a tad more expensive, whereas Kommis should be cheaper) and it’s indeed finished on a level I thought impossible for a Vostok. The bracelet is even kinda decent!
All in all, 60€ (or whatever it was, was not enough to really remember) well spent.

>>15617635
the front button is actually really convenient and that's the best reason to get the mudman. in practice the buttons have a sort of "mushy" feel to them I don't like. it feels cheap, and it's like that because of extra reinforcement against mud.
in terms of overall looks, the square is the best and the solar one is the best version since it doesn't have gay multiband. the buttons are recessed heavily so they are somewhat hard to push if you have fat fingers but I think this is still the best G-Shock.
the caioak is just OK. the digital display is simultaneously more and less useful than you'd think and the lightness of the material and the 3D aspect of the dial are pretty cool in hand, but I'd rather just have the square because that's the quintessential G-Shock and it has everything you want with the minimum farting around.

Thanks. That 1964 looks pretty damn good. I appreciate that he's going for these 38-40 mm chronos, not enough companies out there doing it. Sick of seeing so many chronos I like and they are all 44-46 mm. Hamilton would have a couple thousand more of my dollars if they could shrink a couple designs down.

The obvious answer is that you get all three because they're all really good.

The Ga is probably the most discreet and works in most situations and with most outfits.

The Gw is one of my favourite G's and it should be in everyone's collection. And just like >>15617650 said, it also has mb6 and solar so it'll always run correctly down to the second and you'll never have to change the battery like you will have to do with the other two.

The mudman is also fantastic, and looks and feels bombproof. It's very comfortable to wear and the design is also spot on. The only downside would maybe be the buttons on the side which may be a little bit on the hard side. But that's not really an issue for me since I never use the timer or stopwatch. So if those are important is maybe choose the Gw instead

bought this around two weeks ago but i never noticed that the power reserve indicator goes a little ahead. so the hand is around 40, when i wind it it only goes to the line and it stops going but when i wear it for a while it hand will be on 40. is this normal? i read around and it seems that the orientation of the indicator may vary with each model. could this be that? or is it broken somehow? is functions like it should, when im not wearing it the indicator goes down and vice versa

42mm big and 13mm thick for a watch in that style kinda sucks though. It'll look bloated. Theres nothing wrong with it otherwise but you might probably wish you had bought a watch with slightly more personality in the future.

Thanks, yeah I was having trouble finding a band that fit the off-white/gold/green combination of the dial in all types of lighting. It's honestly a watch that can look a little ugly in the wrong light.

>>15618509
it's a vintage Eulit perlon, 70s or 80s I'm guessing. It's a little different than the modern perlons I've had but the quality is very good. Not as comfy as a good soft leather strap but not bad either.

The gold flecks really look awesome with the gold tones of the hands and indices. I always wanted this watch with silver accents but the gold variant fell into my hands.

>Nomos has introduced three new limited edition versions of their Lambda model to celebrate 175 years of watchmaking in Glashutte, Germany, the home of the Nomos manufacture. Unlike previous versions of the Lambda, always cased in solid gold, these Lambdas are in stainless steel, and thus much more approachable, and perhaps better suited to everyday wear than the $20,000, precious metal versions the brand has produced to this point. With the same distinctive dial layout, case shape, and highly decorated movement as the gold versions, these Lambdas represent a new high-end in Nomos’s stainless steel offerings, and function as something of a bridge between value oriented references we know and love, and the more haute horlogerie focused watches Nomos has produced for years in smaller numbers.

>This level of hand work doesn’t come cheap, even if it is significantly less than a solid gold Lambda. At $7,500, this is an expensive stainless steel watch that exists in a segment Nomos hasn’t really tested to this point, so it will be interesting to gauge the reaction to the stainless steel Lambda as they begin to make their way onto the wrists of collectors. With only 175 pieces of each dial variant being produced, this watch is likely to sell quickly. And if it does, we’ll be curious to see if Nomos continues to play in that $7,000 price point.

looks good from that pic. I think it suits it very well.
I dislike perlons, but objectively, in this case, it's a very modern trend against a vintage watch. it just doesn't go, imo. the gold flecks are kind of cool, but the perlon on that tudor looks off, and the teal also doesn't work, imo.

It looks good there but this watch just has a different character in shade, the dial and gold accents turn a garish yellow, and any warm toned strap makes things even worse. Plus cool colors just look way better with my pale complexion so it's a really subjective choice.

Perlons might be trendy right now but they have been around a while, this one was actually made when West Germany was still a country. But you're right they weren't around in the mid 50s when this Tudor was made. There were some textured proto-NATO straps like this one that share a bit of resemblance though.

Could you guys redpill me on vintage watches? I'm looking for something bit smaller and dressier, and the poorfar guide has some pointers. Also I guess this:
> Your budget
600 bucks
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
dress
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
mechanical, automatic preferred
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
don't need any, subdued looks preferred
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
I'll be probably getting new strap anyway.
> Wrist size or desired watch size
38 - 40mm width at most, 46mm lug to lug at max

Vintage is usually a case of get what visually appeals to you rather than get what is good or cheap

You don't want one as a daily driver because they aren't going to be serviced and the accuracy will be all over the place. If you do get a service done you are expecting to wait a long time, pay a lot of money, and you really don't know if your watchmaker has done a good job or not, could be that it breaks a month after you get it back... It's better to get a cheaper unserviced specimen and use it only on special occasions, my polerouter is really only worn on dining out duty and the occasional wedding and funeral.

If you want a day/date watch make sure you get a movement where the date set mechanism is metal and not plastic, which rarely lasts a decade.

Watch out for work that has been done to aesthetically improve the look and raise the value. There is big business to be had on buying shitty, nasty, mould ridden watches, that are taken apart, the movement is barely cleaned and put back together while the real work is done trying to restore the dial to its former look, and polishing the case to remove all scratches.

True value of a vintage wristwatch lies in a watch that is in good condition, that is original. ORIGINAL ORIGINAL ORIGINAL. NO COSMETIC REPAIR DONE WHATSOEVER.

In regards to what is a good model to focus on, the best brands? Americans, Germans, Frenchies, Japanese and Swissies were doing the best work. Problem is Swiss has a horrible markup because of marketing memes, so I'd avoid it.

It is if you just follow some basic guidelines. Unless the seller states recently serviced, assume it will need a service. Make sure to see that the movement looks fairly clean, no missing screws, hairspring in good shape. Buy a watch with a common workhorse movement with spare parts or doner movements available, or else do a bit of research and know what you're getting into with older rarer movements. Search online and find out who specializes in servicing them. Most watchmakers will accept shipping and a typical service costs $200. Takes a couple weeks. Not a big deal.

Sure you could get a watch with some hidden catastrophe like a bent balance staff pivot, but that's rare and Ebay buyer protection would probably bail you out.

There are dozens of friction points in your watch movement, when the lubricants dry out you have metal on metal contact and parts start wearing until they're too ground down to function.

Modern lubricants last a lot longer than they used to but if your movement has already run for a few decades you probably ought to baby it just like you would an old car if you want to see it outlive you.

For you sois out there, let me put it in capeshit terms: do you think Rebecka's approach to raising Homelander's kid is better than Homelander's ? No.
Just as you must teach your child to toughen up and live with the pain to become a real man, you must teach your watch to toughen up and live with the dirt and grease wd40 will bring to its life. Then it will grow up to be more accurate.

thinking of getting this Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 36. thoughts? i've got a 6.5in wrist but i want something small.

I do not want a Sinn, even though they're more durable at the similar price point.

It's ok, kinda bland, maybe a bit too dressy depending on your usual wardrobe, and I don't find Tissot very compelling as a brand. If your budget can stretch a bit further I might think about Oris or Sinn, this one's probably too much (about twice the price of that Tissot) but I think it's a much cooler watch while still having a similar vibe, and it's a little bit smaller which might be relevant. (Seems like 90% of /wtg/ likes watches in the 36-38 range.)

This ^. 4chan generals on all boards are filled to the brim with angry shut-ins and autists who relish the opportunity to try to bully others because they've felt bullied their whole lives. If you like something, buy it, post it and wear it with pride. Tell the hateful idiots to eat a bag of dicks.
