Sugess El Primero edition

last thread: >>18418323

Should i pull the tigger on one of these?
I'll never spend 10K for a real one.

>>18430765
Yes. Why not? Find out if the 6oclock subdial actually goes 12hrs or if it just mirrors the hour hand. If you give a shit that is.

>>18430765
The half panda looks good

>Get cathedral hands fitted on Vostok
>Have watchmaker do it because too pussy to DIY it
>Get it back 2 weeks later (was stuck in queue)
>Looks like shit because of sloppy lume application
Fuck me, I should've heeded the bad reviews on that vendor. Now I'm going to really learn to DIY this just to put the stock hands back on

>>18430765
Isn't a Sugess $9,500 with tarriffs?

I don't really hear much about momentum watches. I wanted to buy a field watch but they are either all a bit boring looking (Seiko, Citizen) or really overpriced (Hamilton)

Their wayfinder has some pretty good specs for 250 USD:

>Titanium
>Sapphire
>Good lume

If it weren't for some passing comment from a thread on watchuseek I wouldn't have known the company even existed

>>18431121
Only in Americaca!

>>18431226
Nice, i'll check it out. Chinese brands really step up their game.

So far, if i had to rank chinese brands, i'd say:
1 San Martin (the GOAT)

2 Suggess
3 WatchDives

After it's a tie between Militado, Baltany, IXDAO...

I forgot Merkur

>>18430765
I never thought I would see something worse than a slave 24h dial but yet here it is, a 12h dial. WHY?

Does anyone else get shit from strangers for wearing a fitbit along with a real watch?

I like this

>>18431464
>>18431490
!P3141593qY has been awfully silent since then.

>>18431919
It's kind of gay, ngl.
I only wear mine when i sleep and when i workout, both moments when i don't wear my real watches.

>>18431926
I've been looking at that too. As a JLC cope. Also the Hamilton Ardmore. I try to wait a year between watch purchases so we'll see how I feel in December.

>>18431940
>Just get ur self a $400+ high tier replica, and u can look rich.
There's no replica for Zenith watches, normies don't know the brand.

bought for $69 last year, now discontinued

another chinese shitter arrived today, from the brand proxima. It is a homage to serica 5303, but with a CW lightcatcher case, sand wave dial, signed crown, and a display caseback. Cost me about 220 usd.

39mm diameter, 45mm lug to lug, almost 12mm thick, perfect for any wrist size. The lume is also quite generous. Very happy with this purchase. This will be my new daily beater from now on.

i bought a chinese shitter and will be posting it when it arrives

>>18431226
I got the citizen because I liked that it was day-date and ecodrive. also just kind of like the name. but that wayfinder is cool. I sure wish I had sapphire, but one day I'll break or opaquely scratch my mineral and I'll get a sapphire replacement.

>>18431234
I want to like san martin but their logo looks like it was made by a retarded child.

>>18431926
nice. every cheap tank has roman numerals which I have an aversion to, for some reason

Anyone else have a Buyalov or other Russian microbrand?

>>18433251
never heard of it, some cool designs (trying to get the Vostok market i suppose) but quite pricey imo.
Those are probably made in China, so i guess there's a middle man getting its margin of profit there.

Did someone say vostok?

>>18433288
From what I heard, the creator used to work for Vostok and was responsible for turning their QC around for the better in the early-mid 2010s. I've mostly started looking at them because the newer and nicer Vostoks just keep creeping up in price lately.

>>18430765
It says sucks ass on it.

This is the best watch thread on the board because the $500 hard cap filters out all the attention whores who spam their fake wealth 24/7

Picked this up off Facebook marketplace for $300. Pretty happy with it, the dial looks great for the price. Runs pretty fast though

>>18433716
poorfag lol

>>18433743
He's right, though. The Swiss responded to the quartz crisis not by making a better movement (which they apparently can't) but by doubling down on their watches being expensive. But now they are expensive because of "heritage" and "prestige", otherwise known as marketing.

About $250-500 seems to be the price point where they don't treat the consumer like a gullible idiot

>>18431234
>>18431490
beautiful watch, where are you buying it, post link please.

>>18433973
It's the Sugess Tourbillon Master SU8230G, it's on their official site.
They are around $/€500, it's on the more expensive side for the brand, but considering luxury brands sell tourbillons for 20K or more, it's a good price.

poorfag shitters

>>18433982
thanks, i'm going to buy it now.

This but with some polishing is my grail. Quartz, nice typeface, nice dimensions.

>>18433992
Quartz is the hardest part.
Otherwise you could get a Sotwa, a Laco, a Kuoe, a Baltic...

best japanese sub $500 shitter
- Citizen NB1050
- Casio Oceanus S100, T150, T200
- Some Orient Star shitters, look at their japanese website for models available, bear in mind that your local watchmaker will likely refuse to service these movements

good quality chinese shitter:
- IXDAO dragon scale
- Proxima PX1703, PX1711, PX1721, PX1728
- Any Baltany releases
- Watchdives WD0003, highly recommend this one

San Martin make good stuff, and they also have original designs now, but I just cant stand that logo.

Thoughts? I just want something very simple that I can wear with anything. Costs $370 here. If you have any similar suggestions that are maybe slightly less boring then I'm all ears

>>18434165
Just get an addiesdive for less than half the price with the same movement and looks.

>>18434184
resale value of a Seiko = 70% of the price
resale value of an Addiesive = 0

>>18432521
I like the reversed omega-pepee on 12 o clock

>>18431490
Chinese people have absolutely no fucking taste in English language. Whenever I see some fucking product with an utterly deranged name like Waxzgo which I know is a pun I will not get - I will just not buy that.
Sugess? Suges is a kind of name, but Sugess, the two S's. This is a pun on success? Why can't they just be upfront and call it Xiaoba watches or just get like a second or third row German or French name from Switzerland and call it like Bovay or Brunner watches.

>>18434262
I like this watch, but what the fuck is "Zezame"? The name is probably the only thing keeping me away from this watch.

>>18430761 (OP) (OP)
>>18434262

I found the same El Primero homage in the OP but under the Red Star brand, way less cringe imo.
I wish they would do it for every Sugess model, Red Star is their real identity, it's feels more like a genuine brand/identity, they shouldn't be ashamed of it.

>>18430919
>>18431915
fyi, the 12 hours dial also exists on the original Zenith.

>>18434328
I was in the same boat. Then I couldn't stop seeing "Legume" and I thought "that is going to drive me insane"

>sterile dial, baton indices, bronze (brass?) case
that's a good look

>>18438589
that's truly a shitter even by shitter standard, my condolence. your kind are the reason why this thread is dying.

On the topic of Buyalov, I got the yellow Modster a few weeks ago. I don't see a "Made in Russia" label anywhere on the watch itself or its packaging, so >>18433288 might be right about it being manufactured in China.
I didn't expect a 40mm watch to be as heavy as it is at 177 grams, but I still like it overall.

what movements does baltany use?

>>18430761 (OP)
Strongly considering a Rdunae RA03 as my first chink watch. I got a Shitizen bm8180 recently but it weirdly keeps losing time despite being fully charged. The Rdunae seems unbeatable for the price. 34mm is good for me because I am 6' tall but 138 lbs with 6 inch wrists. The only drawback is the lack of a date display which I actually use. Should I just stick to Casio?

>>18439755
>Shitizen bm8180
weird, must be quality control. mine has been extremely accurate, I've had it at least 5 years.
you need to make a warranty claim.

>>18439696
Seiko NH35 mostly.

Thoughts?
I saw it recently on hand and it looked nice

My chinker arrived

>>18439765
It loses 6-8 seconds per day which means there is something wrong given quartz. I might just return it for a refund as I just got it. I had to return another one because it had QC flaw with the dial printing. The most recent Jap watches I've gotten have had terrible QC. I ordered a Seiko dolce with case finishing on the level of walmart watches I've seen. Meanwhile the finish/dial on my SKX from 2014 looks amazing compared to current production. The Japs are really slipping it seems. Kind of sad.

>>18439791
I got one of these but ended up getting rid of it because it was a little too small for me. I like how they look though.

>>18439802
Damn definitely looks clean. Think I'll just get it

>>18439805
I have a 7 inch wrist so if yours is smaller or if you just prefer smaller watches you'll probably like it. They're definitely cool

>>18439696
in this case ST1701

>>18439786
>>18439912
thanks, guys

>>18439912
that's the automatic version. also available in manual with the st1700

>>18439416
The 40mm is good

>>18434165
I hyped myself for weeks looking at the PRX but then at the store it did nothing for me. They also had the Citizen Tsuyosa which looked a lot better to me in person. I think I might get it I’m still getting over how disappointed I was with the PRX. Go see and wear some before buying.

>>18439928
interesting it's probably thinner

>>18439792
That looks scuffed as well, not gonna lie

>>18434165

That logo is straight up from an indie game about tank battles and shit.

i want this but the polished case looks like dogshit. JUST BRUSH IT YOU CHEAP FUCKS

>>18441601
Here you go, better watch, better brand.

so I was looking to buy a chinese watch. the company ships worldwide free but to the US they have a separate fee because of the tariff.
that doesn't bother me, it's only ten bucks, but is that the end of it? am I going to get a separate bill from US customs or whatever?
I don't know how any of this works

>>18441638
>shitters under $500
>posts $900 watch with completely different aesthetics

>>18441454
With reported 10mm thickness, i believe it uses a low level miyota movement. Still whats the point of buying this when you can get a chinese mechanical shitter with better specs. Casio should stick to quartz watch, thats it.

>>18441694
NH35 >>18441457

>>18441694
The other rumored specs paint an even worse picture
>Mineral crystal
>Integrated FOLDED bracelet
>Pressed clasp
Truly a more baffling decision from Casio than that new G-Shock that looks like a Sonic OC

I bought this one for 40 bucks, what do you think

Looking to get my first mechanical watch, I'm between the Red Star 1963 and a Seiko Dresskx at the moment. The Red Star with a sapphire crystal would be ~$100 cheaper but I've heard it's more expensive to service this watch than to just buy a new one. The Seiko would probably last longer but doesn't come with sapphire out of the box. Thoughts on these shitters?

>>18441456
size wise a158 is good for suit but you may find the bracelet uncomfortable. I would get a small seiko tank as alternative.

>>18441732
Its fukken garbage m8.

>>18441732
For 40 bucks it's a nice find!
For this prioce you can barely get an analog Casio these days.

People like to shit on designer watches because they are usually overpriced and tacky, this one is neither. Better design than the thin bezels Daniel Wellington.

t. luxury watches wearer

>>18439241
Gold case white dial or gold case gold dial?

>>18441700
You cant fit a nh movement in 10mm case

>>18441843
Yes it is overpriced. The cheapest quartz movement plus i'll bet my left nut it's a mineral crystal and as per usual, non existent quality control. He'd be much, much better off buying something from aliexpress for that price.

>>18441877
Show me a better analog watch for $40.

>>18441788
sapphire is the only way friend

>>18441881

>>18441889
Looks like total shit.
Rolex sub shitter cope with shitty logo.

>>18441890
Luckily your opinion is irrelevant. This is a better watch.

>>18441732
it'll quit running in a few years.
looks nice enough.

>>18441874
so you're saying Casio is lying?

>>18441454
who asked for this?

>>18442074
it's pretty bizarre. if they were trying to get into making their own movements (although the appeal of that is also questionable - are enough watch buyers demanding automatics? I didn't think normies cared and casio is the ultimate normie brand) then ok. they want to get into the auto game with a seiko movement, but what's stopping the buyer from just buying a seiko? they think enough people *really* want it to say casio on it. maybe they're right but I just don't get it.

>>18442119
>what's stopping the buyer from just buying a seiko
the price tag

>>18441788
do consider the acrylic version, it's more sovfvl

Armitron Griffy. Really good for thirty bucks, has a real metal case instead of Casio plastic. Bracelet is acceptable too. People love it.

>>18442349
Every time

>>18442134
edifice: estimated price $300
seiko: pic related.

technically it's movement is 4R35 since the nh35 is only for non-seiko watches but caliber corner says they're the same.

>>18442351
yeah but don't you have to push a button to make it visible?

>>18442376
Yeah but that’s how the originals were, it’s kinda fun anyways

>>18441657
nobody knows?

>>18442375
tbf the Casio is supposedly thinner and imo it has a cooler dial. The brand has a lot of fanboys so at $300 i think it will sell well even if the Seiko you posted is most likely of better quality. Maybe it will be the introduction for some kids to the world of automatics

>>18441732
it's ok, you may also change the strap if you like.
got this also for around 40

>>18442349
>real metal case
looks cool, might get one

Why don't they have this watch as an automatic. I am livid. It would be perfect

I want it.

>>18442977
Actually Batman is better

Just gave my shitter a new look, dial+hands were $15. Base mod is a proxima px1695. It does have a ghost day wheel because of the nh36, i might swap it out for nh35 eventually. It was difficult to mod this watch because the case takes 31.5-32.5mm dial , and there aren't many options.

Should I get this?

>>18443019
what online stores do you use for mods? I'm thinking about getting a display back for a mechanical watch. I have a set of calipers, are there different thread pitches I have to worry about?

I'm thinking of getting an Orient open heart for my next purchase, I just don't know what color. I curretly have a Orient with blue dial on cream, and I love it. The color on the dial is very striking, the face design is clean, and the strap is comfortable. I like the idea of a blue face, to match my blue car, but the gold on white also looks very nice.

>>18443416
forgot image

>>18443417
and after that, I've been considering a seiko 5 sport, a Tissot PRX, but I'll probably go with this one, I like the dial design, and green is a nice color

>>18443416
>I like the idea of a blue face, to match my blue car, but the gold on white also looks very nice.
I agree those 2 look best, but personally I'm feeling the blue

>>18443418
Is this a joke? If you want a fat watch with $20 movement inside and a mineral crystal you can get something from aliexpress for 10 times cheaper.

>>18443421
38mm isn't too large for my wrist, I'd even get a 50mm idc. I don't doubt that it's overpriced, I'd try to get it less than $600, but I'm not really interested n aliexpress knockoffs. I'm paying for something that would be high quality, not cheap chinese shit.
I'm also looking ahead to getting a grand seiko because I heard it has very smooth movement, and they cost upwards of 10 grand. Would that be a joke if a $25 watch can also tell the time?

>>18443019
>proxima px1695.
wow, that proxima logo is ugly. the dial, too. your mod is a huge improvement too bad you couldn't keep the day/date. I do like the original bracelet, though

>>18443430
>I'm paying for something that would be high quality
You are not.

>>18443434
Considering Gucci sells bucket hats for $850, Ferrari sells basebal hats for $300, and various fashion outlets sell t-shirts for hundreds of dollars, I'm not too concerned with spending $600 on a seiko that has a nice design, and reliable manufacturing. Note that $600 CAD is $430 USD, not outrageous for a watch.
Do you have a specific gripe with seiko? I'm ignorant

>>18443438
I already told you that seiko is fat, has the cheapest movement available and mineral crystal for 10 times what the same specs would cost buying from chinese directly.

>>18443418
That price for hardlex glass, low tier 4r movement, unnecessarily thick watch case, and almost non existing QC, you clearly don't know much about today's seiko. The chinese watch costs less than half of that but offers sapphire glass and better regulated movement, possibly a miyota 9xxx or pt5000. Still, the money is in your hand.

>>18443418
orient is nicer

>>18443440

>>18439802
What's the model number

>>18444586
91w is too light for me and not comfortable to wear - reminder ur not supposed to strap it tight like everyone does
for me, it's one of the ''metal'' variants and if i really did want something heavy i'd get this invicta instead (no one cares about shitvicta, not even thieves so i can even wear it in london)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RLDQn-K-Cs&t=60s

>>18439222
Probably. There is no infrastructure in russia for mass produced watches besides the Vostok factory. Even Raketa, who make their own movements down to the hairspring, have to order out for cases and bracelets.

>>18439222
I like yellow watches. Do you have any pics? I wonder what the significance of those black and yellow bezels are if any? I've seen them on other watches before.

>>18442400
If they're charging you extra it's implied that they're dealing with customs on your behalf.

I have a cheap chinese engineer bracelet on my inexpense watch that I daily that I like quite a bit.
however, the climate here is hot and humid a lot of the time. it expands my wrist and the humidity makes this more uncomfortable than usual. adding another link on the bracelet makes it too loose on days when it's not too hot/morning/winter.
does anyone make an engineer with one of those micro adjustable clasps that works reliably but isn't more expensive than the ~$200 watch I'm putting it on?

My nigga. Just bought one last week and loving it so far. Only don't expect the texture to be very visible unless you're looking at it close up

What is a decent analog watch around $500 that I can wear to work everyday? Are the Tissots at this price range any good?

>>18445279
Erebus.

>>18439792
You can spend an extra 5 dollars and get this without the horrid gibberish name and logo so good job not doing that retard.

>>18445279
Tissot are fine enough, as in they'll function as a daily office wristwatch, but be aware that whatever amount you're spending on them you're essentially buying a chinese made watch. It's probably less "Swiss" than (you) are, whoever you are. I wouldn't buy a chinese watch for whatever tissot's charging retail these days is all I'm saying. But if you have your eye on one you like, it's convenient to procure and you don't mind spending $500 on "Swiss Made (actually we're lying it's made in china lol)" to save yourself the hassle of looking any further then just do it.

>>18445234
Citizen are what people think seiko is: decent product for the money. I really don't like the haphazard layout of the dial elements though: the small seconds in such a weird position so close to the date window, and then the ever superfluous "AUTOMATIC" and "TITANIUM" bunched up on the other side because there's nowhere else to put it.
Horrible. It's not a bad watch technically however.

Any opinion on the Seiko 5 Sports GMT ?

I am seriously considering the SSK001K1. Can get them for ~500. Just wanted some nice watches with reliable mechanics and GMT function (cuz I actually use the GMT function).

Seems like a good deal for the price, just asking for local opinion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTJHDGaYQPY

this is cool but you have to be fat to pull it off

>>18445367
>this is cool
only if you're under 15

>>18445353
there's some good reviews showing it's flaws off the top of my head easy to rotate friction bezel , crown is not screwed (good) so the crown guard now can make it harder for you to wind it (if you do it manually... why would you tho?)

>>18445369
how is ap better?

y'all know the GMT is supposed to track GMT time right?

>>18445372
are you asking how exactly ap is better? because i can just save both our time and say in every single way, but i wasn't event talking about about that casio being uncool compared to ap, it is uncool full stop.

>>18445384
so how is ap cool?

>>18445384
One thing for casio is that at least it didn't maintain relevance through the courting and use of niggers. The capeshit gimmicks are the icing on the shit cake
>b-but g-shock also-
no, it's ok for gshock to have some weebshit special edition. That's expected. That's normal for them and is in line with their mostly manchildren buyer base. Elevating nog criminality and "wakando 4eba!" is both a joke and a travesty.

>>18445348
Supposedly I have fairly average wrists (6.75"), if true then idk who tf all these chunky Tudors etc are supposed to work for.

>>18445253
this is cool

>>18445488
not him but I think the in close-up photo the camera shifted to wide angle, not total fisheye but the center of the shot looks enlarged. in the second picture it looks like it fits better. it's big, but not oversized-looking like the first

>>18445277
>>18445488
Looks good on the second picture. But now I am concerned. Your watch is 39mm and the automatic is 40.5mm. I have 6.5" wrists. Might be too big for my wrist

>>18444838
Here's a quick snapshit I took. Meranom sells Vostok bezels of the same style and calls them "rally bezels" due to looking like a checkered racing flag.
This dial also has a sunburst texture like the other Modsters, but the yellow-orange tone makes it subtler compared to the other colorways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSxvZBjaJcY

>>18445234
Just saw that they are releasing a 2025 version. Better clasp and better movement (60h battery). Different dial colors and pattern. No date.

I kinda like the old color/pattern better tho

>>18445582
let me guess .. still fat and bulky?

>>18445631
https://citizenwatch.eu/en/p/nk5020-58x/

Diameter is 40mm vs 40.5 of the old but it has the same thickness

Thanks for the actual non product pic. I had no idea meranom even had a yt channel. I didn't think it had a sunburst effect at all. I like the idea of yellow dials, but I've never owned one. I have a orange nepture that I really like but legibility annoys me. I bought a black handset to replace the silver from favinov because that contrast would definately help.
>Rallyflag
So that's why.

Another fucking watch thread. Three fucking watch threads on page one… This board really did turn into r/mfa

>>18446665
I was looking for a yellow watch myself, and it was either going to be that or the yellow Tsuyosa. I picked this over it because the movement is similar enough (Miyota 82S0 vs Citizen 8210), but it has better WR (200m vs 50mm), costs less ($150 USD vs 300-400), and the lugs curve better. It is heavier than the Tsuyosa and is slightly bigger at 40.5mm vs 40, so make of that what you will. Also, the stock bracelet feels welded to the case despite not being integrated and uses regular 22mm spring bars.

>>18445289
Nah, I couldn't. It was on sale and I didn't buy it from addiesdive itself.
Besides, when you leave /fa/ no one cares.

>>18434165
I 'm sure I would fall asleep when checking the time on that watch. Everytime.

Should I buy this?

>>18430761 (OP)
Why is the Orient Sun and Moon with rose gold and champagne always expensive, that's the only colour that I like

>>18447969
aren't they quite big for a 'dressy' watch, like greater than 41mm?

>>18447954
no

>>18447954
that specific large pattern wave/sand dune dial design has now been overused.

>>18447983
the only dress watch is casio a158 or lady seiko tank

>>18433474
бaзиpoвaнo.

Got this Seiko quartz watch, my first ever watch. After careful thought I've decided that I won't get an automatic one since everything about the quartz just seems better imo. Cost me €230,00.

>>18448838
should have got a nice casio ga2100 with cordora stap instead to wear for anything you do daily
this is a dress watch tailored for weddings and you'll shit it up quickly, it will never look as good as it does now. and the dial color will make it look even bigger btw.

>>18434165
Casioak. You can wear it with anything. Just don't get a flashy color, and it will blend nicely with any outfit.

>>18434165
Citizen BI5000-87E
kind of the same thing but cheaper
avoid buying watches online in general

>>18430765
>no ugly 4.30 date window
>but also no stupid 24 hour subdial
They actually did it properly, i can't believe it.

>>18433992
it doesn't even have a date so it being mechanical isn't really a problem. should take less than a minute to wind and set.

>wanting a watch under $500 but not buying an apple watch or similar
why?

>>18450926
Smart watches look ghey

>>18450946
so does anything under $5000 but least people will respect a nice smart watch as it show you care about your health

>3 ATM
Are they retarded? It could have been the perfect $500 integrated bracelet watch.

>>18450987
99% of people never swim with their watch.
Being spalsh resistant is good enough to take drops of piss every now and then.

>>18439241
thanks for posting this, anon. I copped.

I can post all the stuff that came in the box if anyone is interested

>>18451100
How much was it?

>>18451240
$150

>>18450990
Still a $500 ($700 at launch) watch with a water resistance that weak feels wrong. I like the Super Seville but the WR frustrates me.

>>18450953
lul just read about fkm yesterday

>>18451421
>FKM
pretty much inert once all the elements form molecules. elemental fluorine is nasty, but so is sodium and chlorine, but once they're sodium chloride, it's just table salt.
https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/are-fkm-rubbers-straps-bad-for-health.5476200/

not that I advocate smart watches, but you can get regular watch straps in FKM, too

Thinking of getting Militado's mechaquartz Murphy clone

>>18451100
it's gained about 6 seconds from when I first wound and set it about this time yesterday.
pretty good, I'd say. running fast is preferable to slow, imo.
since I have a daily beater and this is just for dress occasions, I chose hand-wind, which saved 4 grams and 1.1mm in thickness according to the spec sheet. gotta say I'm happy with this thing.

watch autism is so weird to me
you spend so much money on a status symbol thats only ever gonna be relevant for people within range of your financial status
beyond Rolex no one who isnt an enthusiast is gonna recognize your 100k watch anyways
you dont need it for telling the time
and its a shitty investment since it actively loses value with wear unlike something like gold

Idk if this poorfag or not. Which watch you guys like more and why ? Also which do you think looks better ?

>>18452123
Oops I forgot to mention that this Certina DS action diver 38mm vs Seiko Alpinist 39,5mm shark tooth

>>18452123
neither. both are too big. el cheapo metal f91 is better.

>>18451796
cathedral hands are weird. I feel like they're a holdover from ornate pocket watches that only steampunk enthusiasts would want, but you see them on all kinds of stuff. that watch is in all other ways utilitarian, yet the hands these are fin de siecle, art nouveau looking things with the curves and extra lines everywhere.
I just don't get it.

>>18452123
>>18452125
The Certina is an obvious Rolex homage, might as well buy a rep or a San Martin at this point.
The Seiko Alpinist exists on its own and fits better on you. So between the 2, Seiko.

>>18430761 (OP)
will I have any regrets buying a 100$ ebay watch. I wouldn't mind spending $150-300
I want something for White man, but also modern and respectable. Nothing influencer, italian, jeet, paki, or golfer tier.

the Casio MTP-VD03D-2A2 looks nice, the other look trash, especially Michael Kors.

>>18441788
sapphire isn't as big a deal as people are making it out to be

pick the one you like the look of more and be happy with your choice

>>18453646
don't buy the Kors, it's trash.
looks like you bought the casio since it's been delisted, but I would've gone with the citizen in your pic, personally.

What a bad take

>>18454292
>cheap watch
>it's a copy of the already cheapest watch in the world
People who buy and wear this shit are so sad.

>>18453998
I mean, if I were going to buy a timex, I'd buy one of their quartz models and save $150 and have more accurate time. I loved my weekender and you get indiglo which is awesome.
if I wanted mechanical specifically I'd probably get one of the Baltany field watches for around the same price and a movement that's been proven to be robust in the marketplace for several decades and it'll have sapphire and possibly other higher spec stuff than that timex.
although I didn't look up the timex spec so if it actually compares favorably to the Baltany then go for it I guess.

>>18454292
I like the EL light all of these have, actual poorfag shitter connoisseur tier

$150 JDM quartz baby GS, tell me why this isn't a perfect poorfag watch.

>>18455226
Because casio lineage is.

Any gaudy sleezecore PVD coated gold watches you'd recommend?

>>18455256
no

>>18455256

Check out my $40 shitter

>>18451100
Cool, good for you.
How are the finishing and finer details?

>>18455561
nice

Just found about shitter thread. Gm lads

fucking shitter

>>18441889
Can't stand the typeface on the dial

>>18455872
get your faggy twink wrist n ur shitter outta here wristlet poorfag faggot

>>18455706
the case is at what I would call a high mirror polish. the sapphire has rounded edges and a very slight dome, it seems flawless to my eye. all the indices have facets that catch the light at angles and the dial has a champagne texture in very bright light. there's no flaws on the dial, hands, or indices; I'm sure I'd have noticed as much as I've stared at it. the strap is "genuine" leather. not premium or special but it's nice enough imo. what's cool is they have those quick release tabs on them, which was not mentioned in the listing, so that's a great bonus. another thing I'm not sure the listing mentions is that the second hand sweeps, which is very classy.
I don't have any experience with high end watches to compare it with but personally I'm really happy with it so far.
one criticism is the crown looks cool but it's very difficult to get ahold of to wind it. some knurling would have been nice although it's not as cool looking that way.
I actually wore it out the first time last night to a concert.

>>18455872
how long have you had it? does it keep time well? how much have you tested the water resistance?

>>18455872
noice shitter mate, call this thread home

Someone can ID this watch?

>>18439755

Love mine, well built and the seiko smooth sweeping second hand is pleasing to look at, can't beat it for the price

>>18456488
Jesus fuck what is wrong with you if you think this is a smooth sweeping second hand. Have you seen any mechanical watch any your life?

>>18456491

No i've never seen an automatic watch, they're very rare here on north sentinel island. Relative to the usual TICK TOCK quartz, it's very smooth. The VH31 can pass for a cheap automatic.

>>18456495
Not even vostok has the movement so stuttery.

>>18456501

It spins around and doesn't tick every second which makes it very slick for a quartz. No ordinary person would notice a difference between a vh31 and a mechanical, for the wearer it's much nicer to look at than the abrasive ticking of the usual quartz shitter.

>>18456508
There is no such things as "very slick for a quartz" ticking is either slick or not. And in this case it's not. Not even close.
I would rather have standard ticking quartz, at least it's honest.

>>18456514

Yes anon, just like everything in life there's never a middle ground, it's just sweeping or ticking once every second.
It beats more per second than an ordinary quartz whilst not beating as often as a mechanical, it's in the middle. I can respect the honesty element but i think quartz movements look like shit, the vh31's the only quartz i can tolerate looking at

>>18431490
Lmao who calls their brand Sucks ass?

>>18432049
Ugly, idiotic branding. If you guys keep buying this shit, the chinks are never going to improve.

>>18456488
beautiful bonklip bracelet.

>>18441638
>"american heritage"
>"swiss made"
>actually made in China
>"better brand"
lmao absolute fucking joke of a brand. only CW is worse

>>18445353
neo basedko is a joke. the bezel is not even covered by their warranty because bezels are supposedly non-functional and for visuals only according to them
the only thing this model has going for it is that it's the only rolex GMT homage by a former reputable company in that price range

>>18456491
said it once before but will repeat some dude here got a cheap wall clock and it literally glides like gs does, i just find this hilarious dunno how long bat lasts tho

>>18456508
you'd love bulova

>>18456541
you're too harsh. maybe it has a nicer bracelet and is comfortable to wear. this new street homage of the skx makes perfect sense.

>>18456531
not him but I was going to say nice ladder bracelet but search says it's the same thing. or maybe bonklip is one type of ladder?
I also saw it referred to as a bamboo

>>18456226
Good to know, thanks.
I'm still wondering whether I should get one or the dial is too empty for its size.
I'll keep thinking about it.

What's up fellas, looking to get a new watch so if you have any suggestions for stuff to keep an eye out for let me know. Am a wristlet with 6in wrists so it's difficult finding watches that fit well since the trend seems to be huge dials and cases. Looking for something sporty with a metal bracelet I can daily, and probably quartz if under 500. I like minimal looking watches. Currently looking at this Tissot PRX 35mm so if you have anything similar feel free to suggest something, thanks.

>>18457905
the usual suggestion would be something from Casio's Oceanus line for most of your needs but I'm not sure they make anything for wristlets like us.
some of the Bambinos come in a sports style

Kind of like the way you write, trash human?

It looks so clean frens

>>18459159
Thats because its just pelagos. Is it quartz? Almost all of their watches are quartz for some reason.

This is my time-peace. I bought it in 1972 and it is still runnig precisely.

>>18459159
Watchdives is one of the few shitter brands that does branding properly.
THORN does it well too.

>>18457952

>>18459042
touched a nerve, eh?
sorry you never learned to tell time like a big boy but luckily they make watches for you.
>b-b-but I can tell time! I just want a digital readout!
ok, but everyone thinks it's because you need a handicap.

>>18459159
this is nice

>>18459255

casio literally made thousands of cheap "analog" quartz watches. of cose there's also GRAND SEIKO for your lux trap.

>>18442375

What kind of watch should o wear if I'm going for that youthful beach boy aesthetic? Preferably something inexpensive

>>18460151
This, or some colorful Casio, or the PRX, anything even remotely colorful or 'fun' (can be whatever, complucation, strap, bezel...)

>>18460151
if like poorfag inexpensive? skmei, sanda or other chink brands with rubber strap in diff colors

>>18460168
Someone who plays in the beach and does beach sports wouldn't wear an automatic watch lol. Salt water will corrode your shit so fast and it'll get beat up and scuffed in the sand.

Every surfer/islander wears gshocks or casios

Honestly every Chinese watch brand should just do what Watchdives did and spend 10 fucking minutes in photoshop to make a simple text-free logo and offer it on all their watches.
Rebranding and coming up with a good-sounding romanized name is obviously hit or miss for them. This is such an easy foolproof way to circumvent that and I'm sure sales would skyrocket if they got rid of ""Boderry"" or ""Steeldive"" from the dial.

They're kinda retarded for not all doing this already.

>>18434262
>>18434328
>>18445289
>>18460614
You act like names like Rolex, Blancpain, Nomos, Hublot, Bulgari, Parmigiani, Breitling aren't equally nonsensical and pulled out of the ass

>>18460638
not him but I agree with you both. the tradition of putting a full name (person, corporate, or just plain made up) across the dial under 12 o'clock is so annoying. I'm well aware what brand of watch I bought. I don't need to read it whenever I tell time.
somehow, to me, a logo is just not as bad. it's smaller and something about a graphic just seems more decorative and less intrusive than a word.
I could do without any branding at all. the argument is often made that the empty space without it is awkward in itself. I think that's on a case-by-case basis. but I believe it's less awkward than crowding the space with BRAND NAME.
branding on the caseback is ok. I mean, the company does deserve to brand their products somewhere.
but if it's going to be front-and-center on the dial, a well-designed logo is so much better.
otoh, there's really shitty logos like San Martin which is an ugly shape plus they still put the entire name in it, in the ugliest typeface imaginable. the literal worst of all possibilities.

maybe I'm weird.

>>18460638
Blancpain and Breitling are just a last names even if the direct translation does sound retarded. But anyways you're right, it's just that those brands have established themselves already and we've gotten used to how they sound.
I guess if "Pagani Design" starts truly innovating they can accomplish something similar and become a brand name, but it would take something new and on the level of the Spring Drive to do that. A far easier solution is just using a fucken logo.

Talk me out of buying these two (1/2)

>>18461169
(2/2)

>>18461169
dont buy these two

>>18461173
Thanks anon that really convinced me

>>18461169
the case for the moon phase looks really out of place, looks like it's for a field watch.
the other is pretty neat but it looks like it's for a guy wearing a top hat with gears hot-glued to it and goggles. like, he'd wear one, but you wearing it with normal clothes would probably be fine.

>>18461169
The moon is off center here and >>18461171
This one is just kinda ugly desu

>>18461169
>>18461171
I like them.

>>18461248
I think Baltany uses the same case on a few field watches, yeah

>>18461395
right, but they have dressier cases like the crosshair model upthread. the dial seems dressier than that case.

New thread when?
