Thoughts on arguably the least popular Omega sports watch?

Since it was posted at the end of the last thread... Leaning towards 36mm, just don't like having to wait.

Bros. What should I get?

>brand new Rolex Explorer 36mm
>used Rolex Explorer 39mm
>7" wrists

I was leaning towards the 39, but I tried the 36 and it was actually not bad. Not as small as I thought. 39mm is lightly scratched and $12k, a huge ripoff I know. 36mm is $7.5k but at least a year waiting.

What do?

[Anonymous No.17432308]

>>17432305
i already told you, oyster case rolexes are 36mm watches. if you can’t wait just buy gray, the gray premium on the latest explorer isn’t very high.

[Anonymous No.17432344]

>>17432305
I'm on the waiting list for a 41mm OP, personally with that and the explorer I prefer it in a 41mm case but the 36mm will most likely be more fashionable & collectible in the long run. The 36m case for a watch like that is and forever will be the classic and original. However, its just personal preference, do whatever feels right.

>if you were flying the concorde, you'd wear a Rolex
instead of telling you some facts about the watch (accuracy, etc.) the ad tells you some bullshit about the concorde

Rolex is always like that, it's like they think their customers are dumb enough to fall for those tactics, instead of offering real value

i guess appealing to value went out the window once quartz made automatic obsolete, so the only appeal left for automatic is status signaling purposes

[Anonymous No.17432386]

>>17432344
The current 41 datejusts are actually 39mm. It's too bad the current 36mm explorer has 19mm lug width, it makes it look too feminine. I had a 36mm Stowa with 18mm lug width, tried to cope that it didn't look too small on 7.25 inch wrists. Even the 36mm OP and Datejusts look alright with 20mm lug width, gives it that little extra presence

[Anonymous No.17432395]

>>17432383
>instead of telling you some facts about the watch (accuracy, etc.)
they do the exact same thing as any watchmaker that pays some person of public interest money to wear their watch, but a lot smarter.
literally the same shit as some actor/sportsperson/whatever wearing a watch or any other product
>hey check it out ronaldo is wearing nikes

they arent insulting you, but the fact that you think its insulting shows your thoughts about it and they aint smart.
>the most prestigous airline currently operating is giving their pilots our watches

TAG feels very durable, I've had it just over 2 years now and the only signs of wear is on the strap. I picked the leather because I prefer the look and when I've had cheaper watches in the past with a metal bracelet my arm hair got caught in it a bunch. The vostok was £80 off Etsy (around 90 euros or 100 dollars). I only got the vostok a few weeks ago so haven't worn it much but the tag has been nothing but good to me so far. (I've worn it daily for a year and a half out of the 2 years I've had it).

Feels good to wear, comfy, not very heavy you forget you have it on after an hour or so. Not overly thick or chunky either which makes it a near perfect daily for me.

So on a whim of poverty fashion, I decided to get a cheapo $13 watch at Walmart it is a George Acutime and I have a quick question.

The two pushers don't seem to move at all, which leads me to believe that all 3 Subdials are just for show.
But what is the top dial supposed to be?

[Anonymous No.17432731]

>>17432704
That thing looks horrendous, no offense. And yes, those dials are 100% fake and thus the buttons are fake too.

[Anonymous No.17432739]

>>17432731
None taken its a $13 watch.
I was more just curious if the top dial was the designer being lazy and not understanding what they are for, or if that is meant to mimic an actual subdial.

[Anonymous No.17432747]

>>17432739
I've honestly never seen a dial like that, so I'm betting on the designer being lazy. Most chronos have hours, minutes, seconds or 10ths of a second.

Anyone here service their own automatics? Any recommended routes to learning this as a hobbyist with pretty limited funds as somebody with good general mechanical/materials knowledge? I've heard pocketwatches are a good place to start, which makes sense as the movement's bigger, any ubiquitous pocketwatch movements to look for used, to get into the swing of things?

Reason: I recently got into watches and bought a bambino 38mm which arrived on the day I took my newborn son home from hospital, so it has already got a lot of sentimental value to me and I'd like to pass it on to him some day. Wasn't quite conscious of how uneconomical they were to get serviced at the time though, so I would like to be able to keep it ticking myself. Also I love tinkering with intricate/mechanical things like this and begin to have aspirations of hoards of janky repaired Seiko fives etc...

[Anonymous No.17432777]

>>17432763
From what I've been told, the cost is mostly in the replacement of parts and not the repair tools themselves (though good tools are also very essential), so it's generally not very economical unless you have a large collection or deep pockets.

Rolex used to make quartz watches that were made cheap as they could be within certain tolerances. These quartz shitters were also more true to what made the entire brand desirable in the first place.

[Anonymous No.17433554]

>>17433404
The watch itself is very nice. The AR coating on the crystal makes it look invisible. The lume is ok. Raised indices look great and the bracelet looks great but the clasp has no micro adjust so it can be hard to get right. Made me realize I don't like the Oyster case, very plain and boring. If you can get it on sale and want something pretty to look at, I'd recommend it, but it's kind of a fake Rolex so I'd be a little self-conscious wearing it.

Time's not a major issue for me, would this be enough to get along with for a load of old seiko fives etc? https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/watchmakers-master-service-kit-bergeon-swiss that kind of money is not out of the question, I don't really have any interest in watches over about £500, not into chronographs either, orients, seikos, timex marlin etc is my kind of thing. Would I quickly end up wanting another grand's worth of tools after this?

[Anonymous No.17433943]

>>17433926
Yes that's a reasonable kit. It's expensive as you're paying bergeon prices for some things that are non-critical (such as the blower, pliers, and case opener knife) You'd be fine to service basic movements with that. It is missing a couple things: a loupe (preferably two; one medium magnification like 4x and one higher like 10x) and a movement holder.
You still need to get lubricants and oilers; you'll need the basic movement lubricants plus some braking grease for the mainspring. https://www.jewelerssupplies.com/lubricant-kit-for-mechanical-watches-moebius-640.8500.K.html

>>17434005
A bit more advice; you can do without a timegrapher by using your phone and a watch accuracy meter app to start with. This will get you at least close, but it's not the easiest to use.
Cleaning solutions; read up on this. I recommend avoiding ammoniated solution as you can easily damage the brass with it. Naptha (lighter fluid) works well, but won't do anything to brighten the brass/remove oxidation. Rinse afterward in 99.9% isopropyl and dry. Make sure to get some rodico and finger cots; be very careful about keeping things clean after you go through the cleaning process. Good luck it's a very fun and rewarding hobby.

I don't care enough about watches to know this, but I'd be curious to see if the brands will favour Swiss citizens or not. If I go into the store in Geneva and tell them I want to buy a watch, will they prioritize me over some Emirati sandnigger, or do they just care about the money?

They will prioritize the emirati sandnigger because they they hate whites

I want a real master chief / mecha gshock like 5000 tva or atleastall metal black one, but I cant bring myself to pay 600 bucks for a gshock, let alone 1600+ for tva version. But they are so cool, man.

This Orient watch I have owned for ~1 year started out about 5-10 seconds fast per day consistently. Id set the time a couple times a week
It has got more and more accurate/closer to the actual time so that I havent set it since early December I think.
Is it doomed to become slow so that it will be a pita to set? maybe I could crack it open and nudge the +- thing

[Anonymous No.17436947]

>>17436828
same for me actually. i've posted just recently how my orient bambino ss used to have 5-10sec a day...the more i set, the more i crank up mechanically and lay it down on it's belly when i go to sleep the more accurate it became.
now 5-7 sec not a day but week

[Anonymous No.17436956]

pops gave me few his vintage collection to sell.
bottom one is mine, top one i've found online for comparison.
top one is mechanical, mine is automatic.
i can't find the exact same watch nowhere, except very similar ones but the logo is different than mine.
the other ones have just the star logo.
so if this mechanical watch costs 1600, how much is the automatic one with 18k gold ?

[Anonymous No.17436996]

Niggas really designed a watch inspired by a hex nut and it became popular.

If all you care about is the look you can buy a basic square and get the bezel and bracelet from aliexpress.

One of the best looking G-Shock with few functional flaws. It was the first G-Shock I wore before I got other ones.

literally anything that isn't needlessly cluttered with shit you'll never use. Whats with the tachymeter in km/h on a fucking watch? You'll never need to estimate the speed of something over 1 kilometer with your watch. The sub dials are redundant data but generally only used for timing laps on a race car or horse track. Shit nobody fucking does with their wristwatch. Taht gay little checkered flag is trying to remind you of what the watch was "designed" for, but nobody ever uses.

Its cluttered and the equivalent of wearing a racing team's T-shirt hoping someone will come along asking you to time them on their 37 second lap in their race car. Its the sum of looking busy so nobody notices its actually a $40 watch.

Citizen makes many other eco-drive watches that last about 10 or so years because of the solar panel behind the dial, pick one that doesn't look like some bullshit race team leader and trying too hard to be anything but a watch.

Whats so professional about it?
>co-axial
No shit, we can see the hands all on the same axis
>master chronometer
as opposed to an amateur chronometer watch?
>300m/1000ft
what happens at 301 meters?
>giant gay bezel numbers
In case you get cataracts tomorrow and forget what a watch face and hands is trying to convey?

I'm in a terrible mood and hate watches like this. I'm sorry, but not really. Imagine my acting receiving pic related as a christmas gift

Update it didn't arrive and my neighbor got it, luckily they put it in front of my door. Opened the box and it obviously was an already used watch with the stickers off, day and date wheel doesn't work either. Alignment of the bezel is ok but the cyclops isn't.

Amazon gave me my refund so I can't complain, and the seller told me there was a completed warranty card which is not filled out. Wonder if it is worth repairing for a free watch?

I think it's one of their absolute best watches. I'd own one if I didn't have an aversion to mechanical watches with date complications.
