Just got this Chronoswiss perpetual calendar for such a steal. It’s from 1997 I believe. 36mm. Looks a lot different in person. The depth and some of the finishing doesn’t seem to show up in pictures.

>>18477227
Good morning.
>>18477229
I'm intrigued to say the least. First time I see or hear of this brand. Would you mind going into detail?

I just don't get it. The numerals are ugly as hell

>>18477232
Have you seen in in person? It looks much better irl. It's just a great daily beater that won't lose its value. The 3 numerals give it exactly the personality it needs to stand out as "ah, it's THAT watch". That's why it's probably the most copied watch design/dial of all time.
Would you prefer something like pic related?

>>18477234
actually, looking at this picture of it on someone's wrist explains it perfectly. now it makes a lot more sense

>>18477221
I thought this was spring drive...

>>18477234
Every watch looks much better in person than in pics.

Those numerals are still horrendous. They look like a cheap sci fi font

>>18477231
>Would you mind going into detail?
they are known for their finishing and beguet-esque styling. Its a bit more vintage inspired. They stopped making good stuff like 10-15 years ago. But the older stuff has decent resale value. priced the same or a little higher than rolex during the time.

I know all you idiots do all day is circlejerking and pretending this is a discord server, but hopefully you can at least answer one simple question:
what's a "fine" and small watch, 36mm or less, that's available in gold and looks good on a leather strap?
Something like a two tone DJ or a Tank (though I'm not the biggest fan of either) or a Calatrava ref discontinued 50 years ago.
I don't care if it's a woman's watch, a Lady DJ or a Panthere, as long as it looks refined and not very loud.

Shitty vostok lume time.

>>18477231
Chronoswiss amd Temption were created by poaching Enicar's assets after their closure.
Ever since, they've been dping fancy casing for ETAs with the odd complication module every now and then.

>>18477291
The logo looks shitty and should be applied and in polished metal. The indices and hands are uninspired too. Striking dial though, i'll give you that.

>>18477292
>Enicar's
I always picture a car and not a watch whenever i hear that name.

>>18477297
The backlight-lume on the hands is cool though.

>>18477283

>>18477299
You're thinking of this watch i assume... The Morpho doesn't have lume, the dial is shiny enough, and all the markers, een the minute ones, are applied.

>>18477302

>>18477302
No, you can see it on the photo you posted : the lume is on the back of the hands and pokes out a bit.

>>18477307
I'm sorry, but i can't and as far as i know Morpho doesn't have lume.

>>18477314
>>18477314
There were a couple of different models but i don't think any of them had lume.

>>18477316
I was talking about the Awake, you can see it on there >>18477291,the white-ish border of the hands is the lume. It's on their lacquer and stone dial models.

>>18477318

>>18477318
Oh i see, that's neat yeah.

>>18477300
>rather than a Calatrava Def discontinued 50 years ago, why not this GS ref discontinued 60 years ago?

>>18477370
The more people buy GS and post them here, the less our frens will feel like they were the only ones who got tricked.
Why do you think Credor is being shilled so incredibly hard here and literally nowhere else on the internet?

Behold the omega dynamic 3 special Japan only release. This was produced in the late 90s to early 2000s which is during the first time I lived in Japan. Case size is not not Xbox hueg and the lume isn’t some dainty bullshit. This is the real deal lume right here boys. Waffle blue dial and steel case combo reminds you of the optimist future we had in the 2000s way before doomers and gloomers. Got it full box and papers for $1.2k. Had to go through a lot of JDM releases to settle on this watch which marks my 10 year work anniversary and I also plan to wear it on my wedding in Japan.

>>18477283
Blancpain Villeret from the 90s/2000s.
Come in gold and in steel.
The triple calendar versions also exist int two-tone.
The Leman is nice if you want something that looks more modern.
You have a bunch of complications across the range, all in slim and small diameter cases. Calendar, chronos, small seconds or central seconds, power reserve.
All of these sell for peanuts when you consider that the movements they have were also used by AP at the time.

Unfortunately the current models have gone full dinnerplate mode, which is a shame because the proportions of the original 34mm models are just right.

>>18477289
That's pretty based. Are these still made in Russia? Might buy one for support.

Do you feel personally attacked? You didn’t get fooled into a Credor, did you?

It is you who feel threathened by an obscure Japanese watch brand, so much that you feel the need to convince people that enjoy owning and wearing them that they made a mistake.

>>18477476
there isn't one that fits.
it looks like a parts bin watch seiko just threw together but it's actually a unique case with unique dimension. it's smaller than the turtle.

Not a lot of people have heard about this brand from Japan called Seiko but it turns out it's been around for a very long time and is quite well known over there

>>18477613
most rolex designs suck and people only convince themselves to like them because of brand recognition. this one is like a triple dose, it has the ugly bezel/shapes of a dive watch plus the cyclops plus the ROLEXROLEXROLEX, which even makes the oyster perpetual (their most genuinely good looking watch) look like shit

We’re still deciding on the exact location. If it was completely up to me I’d have it at a small chapel somewhere off the beaten path and head straight to the honeymoon after.
>>18477472
Yea the 2000s had it right and luckily they’re out of favor for now so prices are cheap. According to my research this watch has been slowly creeping up in the secondary markets so they may not be cheap forever but who really knows.

>>18477683
Based. Post the other three.

>>18477683
Where did you get the strap?

>>18477689
Actually, this 61GS is the only one made in the 60's
The other one is KS 45-7001, which has pretty mint cosmetic condition, but wasn't running. It's at the watchmaker now.

And I have only one nice 18mm strap, the rest are stuck in the customs.

>>18477697
And this Credor is neo-vintage at best. But it's so fucking good.

>>18477695
Fluco

>>18477697
That's a strap monster!

>>18477697
Nice, i prefer the 61GS to the 44GS. The variant with the ridge down the middle is especially nice, i'm surprised GS hasn't used ot yet, it would work as the 'integrated bracelet' meme as well...

>>18477664
wouldn't the "greatest sports watch ever" have to be something with quartz, with its inherently better shock and weather resistance?

>>18477699
This feels like a cross between the Alpinist, the Monster and the 60's angled cases.

>>18477706
Modern GS is quite limited in case designs, there are maybe 5 shapes overall. And bracelets are not their strong side either

>>18477711
Seiko had absolutely insane designs before mid 70's transition to quartz. And their bracelets were of very high quality from what I've read.

>>18477719
>Seiko had absolutely insane designs before mid 70's transition to quartz.
Indeed, Seiko's best era.

>>18477699
This is a cool watch. There’s something about Japanese dive watches. Vintage or neo vintage divers in general have developed some nice patina by now.

Come on dude.

What do you guys think about Orient? I'm thinking about buying one. My dad has a few, but one of my friend said he doesn't like them because they're "not special"

Went in for an Omega SMP, walked out with a Tudor BB monochrome.

>only person i know who has a rolex is a diaperfur
why are rolex owners degenerate?

>>18477811
your "friend" is wrong

>>18477811
I had one and wasn't the biggest fan, but that's probably more not liking dive watches in general than it being a "bad" watch. It also ran a bit slow, and mechanical movements that run slow are much more of a pain in the ass than ones that run fast

>>18477831
Weird, the ones I know are hard working people usually with hard earned honest money. I don't like Rolex but I never met an owner who isn't genuinely successful.
>>18477829
As a Tudor owner and fan myself, you did well. They're very robust and accurate watches. But, do me favour, and this isn't a reverse psychology attempt, but please do never, Never do macro shots of your dial. You will not enjoy what you're going to see. The QR is worse than many sub 500$ brands.
Dial detail and finishing isn't whu you get a Tudor, that's true, but just in case.

Kofe Time.

>>18477840
I don’t get what you mean by the dial. The weird half sunburst effect was a nice surprise. T-fit clasp is awesome I didn’t know I would use it as much as I do.

>>18477847
Good, you don't have to know. Enjoy your watch.

Can you elaborate a bit on the slow movement thing?

>>18477849
Ok <3 Yay

Kofe time.

>>18477872
>Can you elaborate a bit on the slow movement thing?
mechanical movements are a crapshoot. they either gain seconds, or lose seconds every day. if you get one that runs fast, it's great because even if it's not entirely accurate, you're not going to be late to things. if you get one that runs slow, you're going to end up just checking your phone instead, because you can't actually rely on it to do what it's supposed to do.
it's basically a 50/50 shot which type you're going to get, if you get any mechanical

>>18477908
Nta but why are watches predominately skewed towards being fast? For example -3/+6 spd

>>18477811
it's a nice watch. your friend is a retard. protip no one cares about your watch. at all. only 2 things matter, 1 do u like it, 2 is it comfortable to wear on your hand.

>>18477834
metal looks like ass, can't even tell if it's polished or what either way it needs brushing.

>>18477913
Why would you want a watch that runs slow? Fast running watch is more convenient. All you have to do to sync it is stop the movement. Watches also typically run slower when actually wearing it due to different angles, shock and such.

>>18477298
If they had called themselves Eniwatch, they'd still be in business.

>>18477913
all u have to do is pull the crown to stop it until it syncs with correct time

>>18477903
Good afternoon.

>>18477940
>>18477965
I just asked why it is so... My watch doesn't have hacking, and i don't want to do the pull-the-crown-out-just-enough-so-that-it-reverses trick.

If only you knew how shiny things really are.

Does this strap work or is it too loud?

>>18478038
It's not loud enough to distract from the Seiko, unfortunately.

>>18478041

Growing up, I suffered some trauma. I won't go into details but it derailed me in my teens, I was severely depressed for many years. This impacted my education and thus my opportunities after education. So now I work in a relatively low paying job. Fortunately I do enjoy my job, so I've been lucky in that regard. But yeah, Seiko is about the best I can afford, brother.
Hope you have a good day man.

>>18478079
Plenty of Seikos these days are getting as expensive on the secondary market if not more expensive than Credor. That's how bad it's getting.

>>18478079
Seiko is not expensive, Seiko is overpriced. Different concept.

>>18478107

If you want a slightly dressier simple dial take a look at the jazzmaster day date.

I can’t deny that Seiko makes some nice watches but man they are such a pain in the fucking ass. How do people even decide which grand Seiko to buy when they are all inspired by random lakes and trees in Japan? And why do all the king Seiko bracelets looks 10x better than the grand Seiko bracelets? And they’ve raised prices like three times in 12 months. Prices are way too high. Pic related this watch is inspired by the shifting ice formations on Lake Suwa. Who is buying this shit? $8,900 for stainless steel with no complications what in the fuck.

>>18478038
>Brack Bray

Don't buy new Seiko, buy vintage.

>>18478038
It's ok.

>>18477986
They're regulated like that on purpose, the properties of the movement dictates the delta between the slowest acceptable rate and the fastest one and then they give a range knowing that it will be regulated to be a little fast
a -3/+6 movement is perfectly capable to be a -9/+0 movement

>>18478325
Ah i see, i thought it had something to do with timing...

>>18478920
look at the picture, the watch is 6 seconds off and he says this is the case despite manually initiating the radio sync

>>18478908
I have a 5610 radio square that works as advertised

I also own the big brother to that other lineage watch, the Liw-m700d-1ajf

I spent a couple weeks leaving it in different parts of my home overnight to see if it syncs (it didn't.) I went outside and waved my watch above my head like a spaz to see if I could get it to sync, still nothing. I finally gave up and set the watch manually. disappointed as I was, I also realized that it is a quartz watch and I probably won't have to set it again for like a year.

it's been over a year and it's still accurate up to the second. I even left it at home long enough for it to go into power saving mode at one point. does that mean it is extremely precise? or did it finally start syncing? I don't know, don't care, and you won't either. buy the watch you'll love it

im looking at a watch with a gmt hand complication, and it says it uses a miyota 8215, but google tells me that's just a normal 3 hand movement. is this a mistake by the seller? or do they rig the gmt hand to the hour hand or something.

one big reason microsoft excel was such a revolutionary tool is because it allowed people to easily create graphs based on tables.
what were previously difficult to parse tables full of numbers could be easily turned into pie charts and bar graphs that were much easier to interpret and make sense of.

when we look at a text interpretation of time it definitely makes sense, but when you look at a clock face it's as if the minute hand is creating a pie chart of how far into the hour you are, and the hour hand is creating one of how far into the half of the day you are. you can instantaneously get a sense of where you are in the passage of time.

the grand seiko catalogue is a mystery to me. like, you have no-lume three handers on leather straps, one of them is """elegance""" collection and gets 3bar pressure rating, the other is """heritage""" collection and gets a 10bar. then you have the evo9 collection who has virtually the same watches as the heritage collection only that they added those god awful wide hour hands and 12 o'clock indicators.

when i look at analog hands, it skips the translation process and i just "know" the time faster

A company doesn't survive over 100 years without knowing what they're doing.

Hey guys. I was thinking it might really complete my wardrobe if I had a big, gaudy looking gold watch. As cheap and tacky as possible. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I think a lot of the watch dialogue is about avoiding those exact things, so it's hard to find good recs.

why are there now 3 /wt/ threads? what happened, i have not been here in some time

>>18480179
Avatarfags blog posting and ban evading to post their obnoxious autistic cope for being failed men created a schism in the general. Now /wt/ is their containment thread and normal people post in /nawt/ while occasionally being treated to leaks from the losers.

>>18479800
you are just repeating pseudo science you picked up consciously or subconsciously

>>18480179
A small clique treats this general as their discord server, reposting their own photos and unfunny pasta that everyone is sick of. They're also making the threads pretty fast by blogposting and, again, acting as if this is their private discord. And create new threads 30 posts before bump limit.
Hence /nawt/ for autistic watchfags who want to talk about watches without being interrupted by blogposting, reposted photos or pasta.
Then there's the poorfag thread that pops up every now and then for the connaisseurs of Aliexpress, which kind of makes sense. Not much sense in making discussion of sub-150 bucks chinaman specials with Rolex vs Omega debates. IT's obvious there isn't going to be much overlap in the participants to these two discussions.

>>18480192
No, it really is helpful for understanding the passage of time. A digital display makes it much faster and easier to read the exact time down to the second if you really need to do that for some reason, but reading a number doesn't necessarily convey the whole story of how time is moving and how fast you are moving through the job or whatever. Analog hands act like a progress bar and creates a visual of how much time has passed this hour, how much time is left in the hour, how far the hands have moved since the last time you looked, and so on. Maybe you don't appreciate that, that's fine, but there are a lot of interesting ways to process information that work better for different people.

What you're seeing is whoretadello's buddies reposting stuff and putting it in their pile of repostable pasta because they think it's funny, and because if messages that make them look bad end up as pasta, then everyone is going to ignore it.

who is whoretardello and how does he own this thread?

>>18480179
A small coterie appears to treat this general as their private Discord enclave, incessantly reposting their own photographs and unamusing pasta, which has become tiresome to all, whilst rapidly generating threads through excessive blogposting, again behaving as if this space solely belongs to them. They create new threads a full thirty posts before reaching the bump limit, further exemplifying their possessiveness. Consequently, /nawt/ was established as a refuge for discerning watch enthusiasts seeking discourse free from interruptions caused by reposted images, unoriginal memes, or blogposts. Additionally, a modest thread dedicated to the frugal connoisseur—those interested in Aliexpress offerings—occasionally arises, which is understandable. It is, however, rather perplexing to see debates about sub-$150 Chinese timepieces, such as comparisons between Rolex and Omega, as the participant overlap between these discussions is minimal, rendering them somewhat disconnected in purpose and audience.

Chatting bare nonsense, like “yo senpai look at me toast this mornin,”
makin new threads like 30 posts early,
like dey allergic to bump limit or somefing.

So now man got /nawt/—
safe space for da proper watch mandem
who jus wanna chat timepieces
without scrollin thru Barry from Milton Keynes bloggin about his Tesco trip.
No cap, jus tick-tock chat.

An’ den you got da broke bwoy thread poppin up sometimes,

lookin like “Rolex” if you squint and get concussed.
An’ real talk—ain’t no one wearin dat fake-ass Pagani flex

Different ting, blad. Stay in your Aliexpress lane, ya get me?

I like that, but If I'm going to wear a digital watch it better do something an analogue can't ( at least at that price point).

"Whoretadello"A name that struck fear and rage in the heart of the bitter. A man who lived a life of luxury and excess, surrounded by beautiful Japanese women,sushi and nice watches. But what made him truly infamous was his ability to make the bittercel seethe,simply by existing.No one knew much about him,only that he was Greek and had an uncanny resemblance to an anime character, Yuta Okkotsu. He had left his empty life in Germany to pursue his dream of finding a society that fit his outgoing lifestyle, his calm character and his love for cars. He found this in Japan.
Every once in a while,he would grace the /wt/ thread with his presence, posting pictures of his latest expensive watch, delicious meal or delicious woman. Without fail, bittercel would come out of the woodwork within literal seconds, spewing hate and insults towards him. Jealous of his lifestyle and his endless supply of beautiful japanese women. But Whoretadello had allies too. Those who admired his carefree attitude and his impeccable taste and those of similar, if not greater statue such as Omegadrunk and The Citizen The Citizen-poster that would bless the threads with their signature posts. United, they would defend him against the bittercel, causing heated arguments but also providing deep knowledge and detailed conversations about watches.
No one knew how he managed to live such a life in Japan, but rumors started to spread that he was involved in human trafficking. Some even speculated that he was a member of the Yakuza. But no one could prove anything. As time went on, bittercels hatred towards him only grew stronger. Some even went as far as to try and dox him, but he always seemed to be one step ahead, becoming untraceable. And when he returned, it was always with a new watch and a new beautiful woman by his side.
The mystery of Whoretadello only added to his allure and his power over /wt/.
Living rent free in the heads of the Bitter, he marches on to spread his seed across Japan.

>>18480354
you shouldn't like it because it's objectively bad

I was buying some crap off of aliexpress and came across the rabbithole that are chinese watches, checked out some Youtube reviews and found that they're basically microshitter equivalents except you can buy a baker's dozen and still spend less than you would on a Europeen microshitter, why the fuck do they all have shit branding though? Is no one in China capable of coming up with a decent brand name?

if you are just hanging in the pool with your hand underwater either will do fine, but niether is really designed to jump in and out or swim. you will create high and low pressure points when jumping inside and swimming so neither is really ideal, but 600m one will give a bit more protection

how dumb would it be to buy restored weekdater for around 500 bucks when i can get a brand new cocktail time for the same price?

ive been looking at modern seikos and i cant shake the feeling that they look too blingy like a cheap mall watches. it's impossible to find an everyday model with bracelet and simple black dial unless you spend 2000 on cheapest GS quartz. if by any chance there is something interesting it is JDM only

god i hate japs so much bros

>>18481140
The ~$500-700 weekdaters always seem fishy to me, some look polished and they never talk about how it runs/recent service. You should be able to find a good weekdater, with pics of the movement and recent servicing, for under $400. I agree though, I have a weekdater addiction because they look so much better than modern seiko. Just wait for the weekdater anon he knows his stuff.

>>18480778
are you a pilot?

>>18481140
the blingy ones are the old seiko5 because of the cheap indexes and hands
cocktail time is super nice in real life and in pictures it looks unremarkable, what's good is eventually you can just swap the movement with nh35 if you have to so service is simple and cheap.
no point to get week dater unless you want a week dater.

also the bracelet on those newer seikos is comfortable and I have had no issues with it except for the clasp which might open accidentally but I suppose it could be changed

What do you mean restored?
It's not stupid at all, i have one for 5 years now and it's been working just fine.
And i have another one on the way...

>>18481140
Just don't buy one with a polished case. It's better if it's a bit beaten up than it is looking like a half licked Werther's Originals. The lugs should have sharp angles.

>>18481140
Check eBay if you're brave enough and if you can check the seller.

>>18481537

>>18481638
It's beyond absurd how much bang for the buck these mechanical credors are. All jokes aside. Very good choice man.

I'm new to watches, but so far I've gotta say there are a couple of watches I'd really like if they didn't have a compass. What percentage of Seiko Alpinist owners have ever used the compass as anything more than a novelty/show-trick? I'm guessing less than .1%. Is the compass there only to draw in larpers who have aspirations of being an outdoorsman and want to spend money to satisfy that but don't actually want to put in any effort?

>>18481848
>Bros' looking for an objective reason for "why X watch has Y feature"
Bro...
Because it's cool. That's it.

>>18481850
In my opinion it's the opposite of cool. Maybe someone will eventually come out with a sniper's watch with rangefinding capabilities, then you could pretend to be a sharpshooter. Wouldn't that be cool?

>>18481852
Way to miss the point. Sorry I don't talk to low iq individuals.

Kofe time.

Are Holzkern watches really built like shit? I heard their wood watches are memes but I love the look of this one that apparently doesn't have any. Is there anything similar to this?

>>18481909
Yeah they are 100 % shit, get a Vincero instead, they are high quality affordable luxury timepieces.

Though laboratory animal research continues to pose ethical questions, particularly with respect to animal welfare, the scientific achievements linked to lab rats are innumerous.

No, unpolished, it's a bit banged up actually, but you can barely notice. Fuck me the dial is so nice...

It's very shiny from certain angles.It's hard to take good photos of it with my potato mobile, i'll try and take a few better ones outside later. The color of the dial reminds me of the 'Winter' 62GS from the seasons collection, it's gray and silver and there's a touch of gold and cream in there.

>>18482014
The dial is a certified Oufff if you ask me.
Are the markers and hands black polished or what?

>>18482030
Nah i don't think so. I went outside for a minute as it stopped raining and oh boy does this thing reflect light spectacularly. It's really hard to make a good photo.

>>18482050
Nice cop, anon. How much was it?

>>18482059
Less than a new Cocktail Time, shipping, taxes and customs included. Took some investigating and some help from a fren (who i appreciate very much and want to thank him for his efforts), and i lowered my standards a bit and settled for an imperfect case (it turned out way better than it looked on the photos in the listing), but all in all i'm as happy as i can be. For a 60 year old watch it looks damn fine.

Don't ask me questions about watches. I don't get paid enough to answer watch questions, nor would I be able able to answer most of these questions without doing time-consuming research.

>>18482083
cocktail time is better tho

>>18481909
They're bad. Really bad.
They're some of these really cheap fromt-loader watches without removable bezel. Basically, the movement is cased into a case with a back opening much smaller than the dial, then the glass is put into place and seals the whole thing. So if something other than the battery goes wrong, you have to remove the crown and either pop the glass out with pressured air or just break it.
Horrible stuff.
