do you guys wear a watch everyday?

i wore a watch everyday for about three years, but there were definitely times where it got in the way of the rest of my clothing. for example, one of my jackets had sleeves that were too long for my watch to fit on the outside of the cuff, so my watch ended up sitting on the inside of the cuff instead and pulling my left sleeve about an inch farther down than my right sleeve, which was noticeable at the shoulder. also, a lot of my button-down shirt cuffs would stack slightly at my watch, which really didn't look very good.

i stopped wearing my watch when wearing certain long-sleeve pieces/jackets about a month ago and things have been so much better fit and comfort-wise. only problem is i miss wearing a watch and still check my wrist for the time only to find nothing there :|

[Anonymous No.8827982]

>>8827970

Yes. Every day for the past 4 years.

I don't see the problem with having your watch under a shirt cuff. I think it looks good when you can see a little bit of watch poking out underneath. Pic related (although hideous shirt).

Definitely beats bunching it up.

[Anonymous No.8827994]

>>8827982
>>8827970

I thought I'd add that F.P. Journe incorporates this into some of his designs. See pic related. It's so that if the watch is under the cuff of a dress shirt (where it belongs), then without having to move around too much you can poke the watch out and still read the vitals. So time is on the right, and other less important details are on the left.

Pretty cool thinking I recon.

[Anonymous No.8827995]

>>8827970

I work in an office but my watch doesn't get in the way of shirt cuffs because I prefer my sleeves rolled up

perpetuals tend to be expensive mechanical watches because so intricate.

you can probably get one cheap from tissot or something but its going to be quartz and the case won't be made of precious metals, and the fit and finish won't be as nice in hand as a IWC

hard to tell from pictures because they have been faking them for 20 years

there are a few things that stand out to me right now.

the links look hollow, the crown looks off, the fact that the bezel is a full tick off of their mark in some places but perfect on the others, and the lack of the internal engraving on the inside face of the watch that has been around for a few years now

so a quarter has about the same percentage of silver in the alloy as modern day lower end sterling .725 = 72.5% silver-ish

higher end is 925 ofc

but im going low end to provide a point, a junk silver coin smelts for a little over $7-10 in value, and buys at $5

so knowing what you know about watches, a case and a band will be how much value in silver alone?

you're better off getting plated or filled

Sup. Reconsider getting that new Helgray model now that you know of the mecaquartz movement in it?

[Anonymous No.8835866]

>>8835817

I've got a Steinhart, (shit) pic related. Good quality for the price. I've had my eye on that particular one for a while now. Bit out of reach at the moment though.

>>8835850

I have but it's not at the top of my list.

I got an email about my Huldra. Turns out Chip sent an email earlier this month but it went to my spam folder. The idea is that those who are having bezel issues will send the entire watch back and get a fresh replacement from the factory. I imagine I won't have to pay for the replacement, but I might have to help out with shipping. Good news IMO because it's such a beauty.

[Anonymous No.8835917]

>>8835866
Fantastic to hear. That Huldra is quite a beauty, such a shame that you were dealing with issues. Glad to hear that's what is gonna happen. Had the same thing happen with a quartz watch I received from backing a KS project. Hands weren't aligned properly causing the seconds hand to contact the minute hand and stop the watch, the crystal wasn't level and I had a little nick on the case. Sent it back asking for a complete replacement and that's what they did, no questions asked.

Definitely keep the new Helgray near the top. Nadim aught to be starting his KS campaign within the next month hopefully. A vintage inspired chronograph with a slightly domed sapphire crystal, 40mm x 47mm case with 20mm lugs, mecaquartz movement and 4 colour variants for the dial. He's also decided that it'll have applied indices as well, so it won't look so flat.

I'd say for the aimed $300 price point it's a pretty good deal

/fa/, I'm buying a new watch

this one looks good >>8833797

found the watch sold here:
http://www.good-stuffs.com/Classic-Rodina-automatic-wrist-watch-OEM-by-Sea-Gull-ST17_p_156.html

on the website it mentions hand-winding... do you need to wind this watch?

[Anonymous No.8835932]

>>8835919
You can, but it's not needed. It has an automatic movement that is hand wind capable. If you wear it daily, you won't need to manually wind it. The hand wind function is there primarily for if you happen to not wear it for a period of time, you can just wind it up and be good to go, instead of looking like a fool shaking your watch for a couple minutes to get a sufficient wind.

[Anonymous No.8835944]

>>8835919

You don't NEED to hand wind it. It's automatic so if you wear it daily it should stay wound.

If you take it off for a day the power reserve will start running low, so you can wind the crown and pump some juice back into it.

It's a good feature to have on an automatic.

Popular watch and most owners say it's excellent for the money.

>>8835917

You working for Nadim now m8? Only joking. You do raise some good points though. I've already got a 2 register chrono so that's why I'm still on the fence. It does have great aesthetics and applied markers will definitely be a bonus. I'll keep an eye out for the KS campaign.

For the meantime I'm patiently waiting for pics of the 2 crown prototype from River Watch Co. I hope it looks as good as the renders.

[Anonymous No.8835990]

The Marshall does look good, but I can't get over the fact that it's got an internal bezel, and it's only 'water resist'. Doesn't make sense.

I stumbled across this yesterday though. After you (I think it was you) showed first the colourful, then the black and gold Orient Disk. Bit quirky, but it might be cool for summer, which in Australia is just a few months away. Cheap too.

>>8835962

Congrats. Post pics when you get it.

[Anonymous No.8836012]

>>8835990
Yeah it doesn't make too much sense, I'll agree there.

Aye, it was me who showed you the Orient Disk. I like that there are different colour variations. Heck there's both a black and white dial variant of the rainbow version, a black and green version, the one you posted, and a few others. It's a somewhat quirky but unique design that can be an eye catcher, and like you said it is pretty cheap. Of course no hacking + hand wind, but it's a small price to pay.

Comfortable surprisingly. I didn't expect to like the bracelet, but it's good. Solid links, the removable ones are held in place by cotter pins and hollow end links as to be expected.

Rose gold is beautiful, and goes well with practically any skin tone (as opose to yellow gold or red). It specially truly well when the metal is genuine rose gold (although I realize that, sadly, this isn't affordable for most people) as it olds in the wearer wrist and gains character, the combo is uncanny.

I love my Grand Lange 1 because it has aged with me and now looks "fused" with my skin's tone and imperfections.

incl. vintage the answer is the Rolex Submariner 5517 British Military edition aka MilSub.

but if we're talking models that are currently still in production, the answer would be a Day-Date aka 'President' in a precious metal (rose gold, titanium etc)

there are too many to choose from in the vintage category. Rolex are infamous for fucking random an limited run stuff.

For example The first GMT Masters made for PanAm, they made like 10 or something in a white dial (only time ever) that were given to CEO's or owners or whatever. Ridiculously rare, basically priceless, even harder to come by than the 5517 Subs.
