the rough gist is
-seagull made the 1963 along with other models a long time ago in 1963(duh) for the chinese airforce
-after that the design was retired on seagull's side
-the design was then either licensed or copied by many grey watch factories in the south (red star, sugess etc), with seagull presumably still largely supplying the movements inside
-the watch sells extremely well overseas due to its charming design
-after like a decade of the 1963 being sold by everyone else and their mother, seagull seeing this big success decided to bring it back themselves, at much higher prices (since they are the original makers), along with another limited edition, unused 'plan B' 1962 design

at around the same time, a WUS user based in HK named Eddy decided to recreate *the* original-original seagull 1963 as close as possible and went to source factories to make it. His brand is now HKED and those look different
>where should I buy mine?
its up to you
im.o it doesnt matter that much
seagull's one is much more expensive and also lacks the kino display caseback, that was an addon done by the 3rd party factories and not native to the design. Also, the more expensive ones are said to have better QC and less "crunchy" movement. There are many colourways, pandas, reverse pandas, all sizes from 38(original) to 42, small or big display window, acrylic or sapphire...

but i would recommend at least get the original size and acrylic (which gives a very distinctive vintage "bubble dome" look). Theres also 2 versions of the dial text as well

yes, but thats also true for basically all timexes. I dont think timex even makes their own movements anymore.
34mm handwind marlin has a modified seagull inside.
40mm auto marlin has a miyota inside

to be perfectly honest the ST6 movement in the 34mm marlin is extremely ancient, I cant even find info on it on the chinese side.
but then again its still miles better than the original 1960s marlin which had no jewels, pic related.
at $150 and under its a perfectly acceptable casual watch.

I think you’re missing the point. Ochs und junior make very few watches per year (they’ve said 35 in the past) and they are fully customizable with respect to dials, colors, case etc. They’re very niche and have some extremely clever mechanisms in their movements, but obviously they are for someone who wants something different from a “standard” perpetual, if you can really call anything as complicated as a perpetual standard.

If it has the exact features, no diamonds, similar movement (quartz for ladies, auto for men)...yes, I see no problem (I'm considering getting a Cartier Tank solo which is fairly small and worn by men and women). Gender marketing in watches can be retarded, for some reason a big watch is macho and a smaller one is girly. I get that if your wrist are bigger your watches should keep the proportion, but no need to push big watches into average wrists or even small wrists. Some watches are good when big, others not, you buy a panerai and you buy it BIG, same with gshocks, or divers and maybe even chronos (although extremely big chronos are a bit tasteless). And an overall observation, its easier to look better with a smaller watch than with a bigger watch, smaller watches unless extremely small, always fit, while bigger watches at the minimum can look big and if they are oversized then the lugs overhang and you can look like a clown or a child with the father's watch.

>>15794457
Right, usually I don't like cyclops or date in a fucking diver watch, but for some reason the sub looks better that way.

[Anonymous No.15794581]

>>15794513
Well said regarding watch size. It’s easy to make broad generalizations when they obviously don’t apply just as much as they do. My rule of thumb is generally ~36mm for dress, 38-40ish for a sports watch or diver - but even then I have a 42mm Speedmaster and 44mm Panerai because of iconic case shapes and sizes.

[Anonymous No.15794599]

>>15794457
right

But ideally neither because Sub is literally the most boring watch on the planet at this point. I don't want to be mistaken for a junior basic finance bro.

>Aren't they just using standard eta movements with a module stuck on top?
The entire point of the watches is the “module stuck on top.” Their perpetual calendar was made by adding only 9 components to a movements.
> It's cool that it's "a clever modification" and all but they really are selling a watch that costs a few thousand for them to make, even with extremely low production volumes.
It’s not a value proposition. No one buys ochs und junior to get muh bang per buck. They buy them because Ludwig Oechslin is one of the most prolific and innovative watchmakers of this generation.

You don’t have to like the watches, as I said they’re obviously extremely niche. But to take the ultimate reductionist stance of “it’s an ETA with a module on top” is absolutely absurd. You either appreciate out of the box watchmaking or you don’t.

[Anonymous No.15794714]

>>15794687
Depends on your wrist size/shape and overall appearance. Also depends on the watch, lug to lug and lug shape is important, some 38mm watches have a lug to lug of 48-50mm. But overall it's just some guidelines, what matters is getting the watch you want, if can chose between different sizes, go small, if you can't, go for the available size. 39 and lug to lug of 48max on an average 7 inch wrist would be fine I guess.

There is an option for one of the calendars (don't remember if it was the perpetual, the anual or juste the moon face) that gets you an Ulysse Nardin movement it ramps up the price but if you can't bear to have an eta movement in your wrist just pay more lol.
The point of the non-existant finish is exacly that, there is no finish to show the precision of the case machining.
I like it that it's a diferent take on what makes me like watches, that being the diferent use of precise craftsmanship and the diverse use of interesting materials as well as finishes. Eat a dick /fa/ggots.

Rule of thumb, I prefer watches without the date window because muh symmetry.
But I don't know why, I actually like the cyclops on rolex watches. Let's face reality, most date windows are a shitty design, pretty much grab a perfect dial and simply drill a hole. By putting the cyclops over an imperfect design is pretty much adding a bunch of neon signs pointing to the date window instead of trying to hide it. The cyclops is soo bold that works in my opinion.

Spain, living on a city, but my country family is the same, I don't know anyone who carries knifes, here only gypsies carry knifes mostly with stabbing purpose. Only really old people used to carry knifes to cut food, but not anymore. Law is pretty restrictive, you can only carry a knife that its blade is less than 11cm (4,3inch) and only if you are at home, work that needs a knife, and sport (fishing, hiking...)that could require a knife, and the context is everything, if you are not doing some sport and police caughts you, you can get fined.Knifes on the car must be carried on the trunk, never near the cockpit, in general, having the knife at hand can be seen as dangerous in the wrong environment.Carrying a knife must have a reason, you cant carry just because you want outside of the specific scenarios, so if you are on the street, you can't carry. On top of that, is the officer the one who decides your fate, he can fuck you even if you are on the right because he thinks you can harm people with your puny weapon if theres enough people on the surroundings.

An iconic design is copied, everyone look at it and try to emulate the design, look at the sub, the design was inspired by another design, and then many copied the design popularizing it. Speedmaster design?, how many watches tried to emulate it?. The design is nice, as many other chrono designs from its age, there is vintage appeal, but the watch is famous not for its design, but for the moon meme. Other iconic designs were famous because they were good designs, no need to add fantasy to the marketing. It's like the Panerai, it is nice, some will say it was iconic, but without Sylvester the watch design would have been forgotten.

This is pretty good advice though. I'm following new releases from brands that I know I'll never have and it's a massive waste of time really.

I recently read a reddit thread about a guy naively asking if luxury watches are more durable and reliable than shitters because he was disappointed how quickly his Seiko diver got ruined, and he couldn't understand why people would buy something that costs 10-100 times more if it will get ruined even faster.

You don't know what you're talking about. Getting rid of excess (or any) heat is really difficult in space. That's why movie depictions of people without spacesuits suddenly freezing when exposed to the vacuum of space is hilariously false.

That one you mentioned is perfect, so long as you're cool with the negative display. In my opinion any of that line, the GWM5610, are the best digital square G-Shock. The multi-band 6 technology to automatically set the time based on the atomic clock signal and the fact that they're solar-powered and you'll not need to change the battery sort of just makes them the perfect everyday watch.

san martin, from their site, add custom dial option to cart along with a no logo watch that offers custom dials.

The only thing they asked if I needed on there was submariner, so I asked them if it 5ubm4r1n3r would be okay and they did it. I think it came to around 270-80 (for 2 colors, the red/whtie) but honestly you can probably pay less then that if you actually pay attention to coupons or if their alixpress link is cheaper or something. There is a few other watches they will do custom logos for other then the sub, it feels like a tank for the money its good. The guy is really nice and at first talked about if anime eyes would be possible but the gradient needed for that would not be possible.
