GS SLGA009 Review:I've had it for a year now, give or take.The hands, markers and the dial overall are on a different league. I've inspected watches that cost 5-10 times more, and I saw impurities and imperfections- not on this one.It's [Dial] definitely the star of the show and it will "ruin" other brands' dials because it will make you obsessed with macro shots. Markers and hands look black from certain angles, and razor sharp and mirror shiny from others.About the movement, I have the spring drive version of the white birch. The pros are that it doesn't gain or lose any seconds. Forget the +-10 per month. It's an arbitrary number. Had it running for 3 months straight (which is easy to do considering the 5 day power reserve) and iirc it was +2 seconds after said 3 months. It IS quartz regulated after all, so it's not a big surprise.The cons are the looks of the movement. It's very ugly and plain at the same time. I'd almost argue I would prefer the back to be closed. It's certainly the ugly one of the two versions. The 9S (movement) being very pretty for what it is.The case itself wears true to its size. It's a simple, curvey and elegant case. I wish it had a bit more Zaratsu polishing done just like some of their other watches although I understand the reasoning behind not doing that. It's supposed to be a daily sports watch. The case could've also been a mm or two thinner maybe.The bracelet is thick, wide and feels sturdy. The different brushing makes them play a bit with the light, differentiating the middle bigger link with the outer ones. But the design remains uninspiring. The clasp is shit. Closes tightly and neatly but it's just very bad. No micro adjustment either. It will only wear perfectly when your wrist expands just enough to fill that mm gap. But most of the time you notice the watch, not only because of the fitment, but also because it's heavy.Overall it's a good beater with character and flaws. Most of the effort went into the dial.

https://files.catbox.moe/1ygv4f.mp4Next, I will review some swiss watches.
Don't have time, I arrived home.I will write one later for the black bay ceramic once I get on the train.Please look forward to it.
Based Grand Seiko Chad.Thank your for your contributions.
Would a tudor watch suit me (white european male) for attracting latinas or japanese women?Since they both are worshipping the white man I figure the watch brand is not that important, so I can rule out Rolex. It would be a diminishing return as we speak. Now Tudor should check all boxes right? Do I go for the Black Bay 36 or Black Bay 54?
Bless all g-shocks
God bless this mess.
The TUDOR black bay ceramic.>Case I've worn this watch through many scenarios. One time, I was carrying heavy stuff while wearing it (big mistake) and while navigating through a narrow corridor, I smashed it on the metal sides of the opened door. I was 100% ready to see a crack, scratch or even an entire piece missing. To my surprise, the damage was zero, nothing. Not a single scratch even. Ceramic is definitely the main selling point of this watch and how hefty and indestructible it feels. But "heft" comes with a price. It's very rough, so rough that the inside of the lugs are sharp to the point where you can cut your nails with (which is something that I do when wearing it).>The movement--itself is rated at +0 to +3 seconds per day. From my experience, it's less than one second per day IF fully wounded, the more it sits the faster it goes. Sometimes even +3 per day. Measuring it at full wind says +-0. >DimensionsIt's not a small watch. It's rated at a beastly 14.4mm thickness which is a bit misleading because of the big extruding saphire and the thick back case which sinks into your wrist anyway. I'd say it feels like a 13mm but they definitely could've gone thinner. I mean it's a zero complication watch. LtL is 50 and diameiis 41.It feels like that too even though the black colour might hide some of it. It definitely maxes out my 16cm wrist. Though it being so big gives it a lot of character and the aforementioned hefty feel. >StrapBad.I'm very stubborn, thinking that after a while that the rubber has to become softer or adjusted to my wrist, which it did but it's still shit. I might be the only owner in existence who hasn't swapped the stock strap for the nato strap that comes with the watch.
>DialWeak point of the watch. Scratches ok the hands, bad finishing on the markers. Brands that cost less than 1/10th have better finishing, like san martin.It's many, many leagues below my GS. But you don't buy a Tudor for the dial and or finishing of it.Overall, it is what you expect it to be. A Tudor. You can find it for 4000$ new.Do I recommend it? Well it depends if you like black watches. It won't be your only watch, that's for sure.I like it a lot and it will forever be in my rotation.
Nobody asked.
I asked earlier actually.
No you didn't.

>>18325732Get The SIGNO GCAR965A dressy leather strap model that combines classic and modern The thin case, which is less than 7 mm thick, is equipped with a high-precision quartz movement with a difference of ± 10 seconds per year. It is thin and fits well in the cuffs of shirts, and is a gorgeous design that is easy to match with suit styles. It is a royal dress watch with a beautiful milky white dial with nuances like porcelain. The crest mark on the dial and the design of the three Roman numerals give it just the right amount of personality. The simple and light case with a spacious cutout and narrow feet makes it a clean and timeless watch.
What do yall think? Got this pretty thing for roughly the equivalent of 1k usd in osaka at the citizen head store. It was limited edition japan only and was the last one they had.Titanium with gold
>>18325740Did it Exceed your expectations?

>>18325744Yes, I'm making pretty good money sucking cock.
>>18325739>bracelet>gold or gold toneYou fucking retard.
>>18325747You even saved it with the filename.
>>18325732ok so found this on Chrono24, what's up with the face/dial? are these spots part of the design, or is it like mold or water damage?
>>18325754That's usually water damage. Those older watches had little to no water resistance. The watch may not have been dunked into water but years of humidity and condensation can eventually begin to corrode the brass of the dial which, in turn disrupts the dial paint.
>>18325754it's mold. how much are they asking?
>>18325756>>18325757ah ok, I figured. asking price is ~$1400
>>18325759I'll never understand prices like this. You could probably replace the dial if you look long enough. I'd pay $200 at most, considering also the state of the case and bracelet. The target audience must be collectors who are looking for historical watches, right?

>>18325777It also doesn't say that cars aren't allowed, some things just go without saying.
>>18325777No, smart watches are fine. But This thread is more about seeing how much an avatarfag will samefag without getting any (You)s
>>18325781I don't intend to avatar just showcasing styles. I love the polymorphic nature of smart watches due to the watch face system. I hope screen technology improves to the point we can have smart watch faces look closer to the real thing>>18325779It's a watch brother

>>18325797Are there really schizos that seethe over other watches?

>>18325824It was pretty nice, though, when they were gone/banned for a few threads and we actually talked about watches. The threads were relaxing and slow.
>>18325828Lmfao
>>18325744No. No clue who that is. This watch is from last year or the year before
so what's the scoop on the angry guy sperging in his own thread? I don't come here much
>>18325805No no clue who that is either
>>18325803bamp
>>18325876price
>>18325803It's a few things.For a long time, Seiko covered the entry level price range for both automatics and quartz. They're now trying to move upmarket in general.Seiko wasn't always the best at building complicated mechanical watches so in terms of functions, movement quality and accuracy (granted, the awful accuracy rating mostly has to do with dodging warranty claims if your watch runs at +8s/d for an advertized +7) their watches were "entry level" . The complications and features were in Seiko's quartz catalog.It's not as true anymore. Orient and Tissot cover the basic entry-level better than Seiko, and Seiko is gradually discontinuing its lower end.

Nice thread with beautiful watches, friends.
>>1832590880% of posts are from that braindead subhuman. He's not even a janitor, more like a failed janitor. He's a human failure, that's why he spams the entirety of /fa/ (even other threads) with absolute crap generated by an endless coping mechanism for being ugly, lonely and hated by everyone.
>>18325914Wait, bittacel is a janny?Lorecel????
>>18325916>Lorecel????No, Bittercel is not a janitor. The original Bittercel hasn't actually posted in a while. Or, if he has, he's stopped using his usual images.>>18325914 is mistaking Finncel (Kofe time) and Whoretadello (the OP of this thread) as being the same poster.Finncel (the guy who lives in Finland with the two Citizens) MIGHT be a janitor.
>>18325917I just don't understand why 2 people (or 1 since only the turktard is actually a problem on his own) have been allowed to ruin an entire general for more than a year now. Why don't the mods give a shit?
>>18325913fuck you
>>18325921The only difference between the avatard retard shitposters and the quality posters itt is that the avatards post their watches, are polite and post a lot less while the quality posters tell you to kill yourself if you post your shitter. Neither have been banned, so I guess this site is for free speech mostly.
>>18325921Kofe time doesn't actually bother me. Yes, he posts like an autistic child, but he's rarely posting more than one or two times per day.Whoretadallo, on the other hand, is obviously trying to annoy the thread.But, whatever, the quality of the discourse is shit now. Watch discussion is virtually nonexistent and half the thread is just replying to himself.
>>18325931Hi kofe janny, what are you wearing today? FREN?
>>18325917>>>18325914 (You) is mistaking Finncel (Kofe time) and Whoretadello (the OP of this thread) as being the same posterNo, I'm not. I was replying to that anon who said the turkroach is a samefag janitor. The turkroach is a samefag (he spams his garbage everywhere out of pure rage) but he's not a janitor. The kofe time subhuman is literally a down-syndromed dude who somehow became a janny. That's it.
I wish this thread was still about watches.I'll try to bring about this change later when I post my watch. I wholeheartedly encourage you to do the same.
How us the G-Shock Move DW-H5600? I don't really want the Bluetooth or smart type stuff but the heart rate would be nice. I was originally looking at the GW5000U or 5610 (since it's way less). But this caught my eye due to the sale. Are there any models that might be an in-between and would just have heart rate but not Bluetooth and stuff?
>>18325952This watch is phenominaly bad. You will get more accurate heart rate measurements by saying random number from 1 to 100. And its very fat. And it comes with the charger straight from 1930s.
>>18325949Fuck off you stupid ugly retard.>>18325952Bluetooth in a watch is a silly complication in my opinion. Watches are about carrying the time and other utilities on your wrist, so why would you want to connect your watch to your smartphone? The ideal tool watch is one that replaces that dumb crap known as "smartphone". This said, heart rate, step tracking and such features are really cool, but the huge problem is that they come packed in a module that is truly too big. Those G-Shocks will look simply ridiculous on any wrist that is smaller than 18 cm. That's the main reason why Casio is not selling many of them.
>>18325954>>18325955Good to know, I'll skip it then. Are there any models that have the heart tracking that aren't shit or should I just go with a 5610?
>>18325968>Are there any models that have the heart tracking that aren't shitThere is none.
Stock photos I understand, if you're looking for advice or opinions.Posting a watch you own here just screams attention whore "look what I got", which is retarded and gay. Keep it civil guys.
>>18325972So you want a thread about watches but no photos of ones people actually own? That's retarded. The pictures can spur discussion, I understand finding the same photos avatarfags post on repeat annoying but no personal photos at all is just odd.
>>18325981avatardfaggot
>>18325692BLESSED>>18325952Not good anon, the reviews are largely negative. The buttons are tiny and the fitness features are not well done. Check the GBD-200 or the GBX-100 if you like that style. Or the big rangeman which has a lot of features.
>>18325691I feel like i need a rundown on all the different models or lines. I'm torn between a circular or rectangular one.

>>18325732gold(-colored) watches are rare amongst lower-end sellers and expensive amongst high-end sellers. I've tried looking and the options are very sparse these days. It sucks for me especially since I wear a lot of gold jewelry on my hands/wrist (due to religious whatnot, so they're 22k gold and hence very yellow), so finding something to match that and won't break the bank is impossible.

>>18325955Bluetooth is a cheap way to achieve those fancy multi band or satellite time correction shit.
>>18326091>What isn't really doing that the others aren't?the Masters of G watches have things like compasses, barometers, data loggers and so on
>>18326091Multiple useful sensors which doesn't send user data anywhere but I guess is useful for military personnel or navy. Your budget is that tight you can buy a Timex ironman which are pretty good too.
>>18326109Okay yeah i dont really need that, i mostly just want the solar and atomic/automatic time features so i can just forget about them and use them when i snowboard or something else outdoors. Guess the gw6900 or 5610 are probably what i should be going for in that case. >>18326110It's not that it's tight its just that its not really something i plan on wearing that often. Currently when i ride i just wear one of my divers usually but a gshock would fit the bill better and it seems like a worthwhile addition to a watch collection, especially when the batteries should last for at least a decade with the solar.
Just buy a vintage Astrosonic you fucking spergs devoid of inspiration and creativity.
>>18326107It's not only cheap, it's future proof. Everything gets updates from the internet now, they could cut the atomic clock radio signals tomorrow.
>>18326113If that is your case then buy the rangeman I've posted earlier
>>18326117>rangemanwhy that over the GW6900-1? I see the usual price difference is only an extra $60 but right now the 6900 is on sale for $84. I dont even know what i'd need or use barometric pressure for so if tahat (and different look) is the only real difference doesnt seem worth it.
>>18326088>I like Franck Muller casablancas and I hope to buy one soonDo it. We can go back to the 90s!
>>18326124>>18326117Realize i missed that it has altitude ability as well. That would be kind of useful info but still not sure if its worth it, also looks a bit uglier to me, not that any of them are really lookers.
Gf has hairy arms
>>18325972>>18325981the ONLY time it is appropriate to post a photo of your own watch is when someone asks for a fit check.If you own BOTH the watch in question AND the wrist size in question then, by all means, post pictures.>Hey guys, I have a 6" wrist and I'm looking to buy an IWC Mark XX does anyone have any wrist shots to know how it will fit?>Yeah, bro, I got you.>OK, it looks like shit.

>>18326134Id think any time it's being discussed it's appropriate, this is an image board after all. It's not like these threads hit the image limit.
>>18326138Even if you allow for that, the avatarfagging would effectively cease.That said, though,>Hey, I own [watch]doesn't actually add much to the conversation.Like, cool, you own one...and? Anything to add, or did you just want to say you own one?This, of course, goes to the attempts by avatarfags to flex their wealth, which never goes to plan, since, among avatarfags, only Mort is actually rich. There are other rich posters, but they choose not to become avatarfags, like the guy that posted the gold Moser and deemed the Baby Pioneer an entry-level piece of shit.
>>18326145>Hey, I own [watch]>doesn't actually add much to the conversation.Fair, but if a watch is being discussed which you own (and maybe are currently wearing) adding the pic along with whatever else you were going to say anyways is only adding, i see it as no negative. I also do appreciate the nice photos people take of their watches, I dont usually do it but its enjoyable to do and if youre discussing a watch / considering one seeing an actual nice picture of someones never makes me upset, unless its the one thousandth time ive seen the picture.>only Mort is actually richwhat do we even define as actually rich?

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, best smartwatch I've used and also the neatest looking I've seen
>>18326182Samsung is so much better than Apple that the comparison itself has become ridiculous and absurd
>>18326182I stopped using my galaxy watch 3 (or 4 maybe) and started getting into traditional watches. The heart rate and o2 measuring was nice but the main thing i used it for was having silent phone and getting my notification buzzes on wrist, and finding my phone. Wasnt enough for the nightly charges and battery life. Having to bring a charger with me if i was going somewhere overnight or risk it dyeing the next day just wasnt worth it. They are pretty decent though, no idea why no one else has done the rotating bezel on a smart watch, unless they patented it.

>>18326228>I doubt one extra device is gonna do much damageIt is because it's attached to your arm. Distance between you and the source of the radiofrequency is essential.

That's why it is advised to use the speakerphone as much as possible instead of placing the phone on your ear.
>he wears a Reddit watch
>>18326198Why the 6900-1v over the -1 so you get atomic time and solar? It's not much more. I ordered the 6900-1 since the sale may end today. I do like the ranger but it's even bigger. We'll see how i like the one I got maybe I'll return it and get the other. The one button stop watch and still seeing time of ranger is nice.

sexo?37mmLug width: 20mmCase thickness: 11.2mmI’ll definitely try it out—might even pick it up!Any recommendations for a good dress watch to complete a two-watch collection?Some additinal information:I am a white European male, and getting a Rolex Sub wouldn’t be a significant net gain for me. Think about it for a moment—white men are often highly regarded by Japanese women and Latinas, like Ana de Armas or Jenna Ortega, for example. Sure, you can optimize your style and aim for a better impression (akin to getting a higher parse on WarcraftLogs) with a Sub, but the diminishing returns would set in quickly.At that point, it’s more about personal preference than actual impact. You’re already playing on easy mode—why overcomplicate it with gear upgrades you don’t need?

A good smartwatch mogs legacy options due to it's range of styles and flexibility it provides per outfit. A smartwatch with a standard stainless steel body can replace 5+ watches in your collection

>>18327027ehhh, wrong photo )))
>>18327027Nice new watch Viola.
>>18327022Replace is not the right word. You don't buy mechanicals or even most quartz watches nowadays for the same reason you'd buy a phone away from phone. All watches are tools, but not all watches are toys.
>>18327033There are smartwatches that operate for 12+ days. I agree your argument is fully valid when they can only sustain 1-2 days battery and most shills will justify that
>>18327037This. My Garmin will go around 10 days before needing to be recharged, and I use the GPS feature pretty regularly since it's my running watch.Charging takes about 15 minutes.

Too many modern "men" are obsessed with watches. A "community" of millions on reddit is dedicated to fawning over "wrist shots." It is a specifically masculine hobby, and the kinds of women that pretend to care about it are usually the same kind of women that do fist bumps or "love cars." But the fact that women have disdain for male watch gooning speaks highly of their nature in this regard. Women, when they adorn themselves, do not pretend to care about anything else other than aesthetics. They are honest. If you have had the misfortune of hearing a "watch enthusiast" discuss their "grail watch" you will be familar with how differently they explain their obession. Instead of just saying, "it's cool" or "I like it" they will fall into an almost religious exctacy talking about the importantce of "heirlooms", intricate movements, and what their "timepiece" "says" about them. To be sure, most men are not this retarded, many take innovent pleasure in a watch or two, or wear nothing at all, but this collecting trend is popular enough to be cause for concern. The purpose of this paper is to warn men from being seduced by the false comfort of collecting. What is the problem? It is a way for the modern man to avoid confronting his impotence, by channeling his shattered ego and ruined ambition into an object. It's a real tradgedy and a symtom of how weak the modern man is. Many "enthusiasts" will readily admit this, discussing how "silly" their "hobby" is, in rare moments of self reflection. pull the trigger, aquire a timepiece
>>18327087Of course, many of the things that a "collector" of watches will say are actually accurate. Watch manifacturing is, in many ways, remarkable for it's engineering and it's beauty. There is something romantic about a contraption that captures time beautifully, and it is nice to have something made well. Heirlooms are cool. All of this is true, but these are cleverly constructed rationalizations that obscure the true intention of the collector, and it is easy, with a bit of investigation, to show why none of these reasons actually matter to the collector, the man that makes a "hobby" of buying watches.
>>18327088Almost nobody who has a watch "collection" actually knows anything about how they are engineered. The average collector can only recite memorized parts of a movement, having no real understanding or curiosity for how they interact, and pointless features like "power reserve" and "beats per minute". The fact that most of these "enthusiasts" have such a superficial understanding of the mechanism that they claim to be enchanted by should be evidence encough to dismiss them as liars, but we can also point to the fact that almost none of these people will have an interest in engineering in general, or even physics. Some of them might also be "petrol heads", but this is just a sympotom of the same issue. You will also find that there too, the extent of their knowledge about cars is "v12" and "0-60". These people also do not care about aethetics, as they pretend to. This can be seen plainly by the fact that most watches, even the most expensive ones, are ugly. But also because, beyond watches, these men will have no aesthetic understanding or appriciation, like the steryotypical homosexual does. In fact, this supposed lover of beauty is often disfhevelled, dressed like a slob, and sporting a fat wife. What about the fact that watches are "high quality" items? Obviously this is not the main concern, given the fact that the "quality" of a $500 dollar watch and a $10,000 dollar watch is like the difference in quality, in terms of ability to reliably tell time, between a coffee from starbucks and hipster coffee. Thats is, functionally, there is no difference. If the enthusiast really wanted precision, he would have a quartz, but the enthusiast looks down on this technology, even if he pretends to 'respect' it, although it is just as marvelous as his beloved mechanical movement.
>>18327089Perhaps here the enthusiast would object: but what about the hand finishing! the geneva stripes! We can easily refer him to our discussion of aesthetics above, but we can also point out to him that the king of his industry is a mass produced, machine made watch, that costs, at most, several hundred dollars to manufacture. The heirloom idea is also the height of narccisistic delusion. The idea that, generations from now, your grandchildren will care about a stractched up steel sports watch is ridiculious. But even if they did, it does not justify the need for a collection, or the insane amount of money and energy spent on the "hobby". The "birth year watch" is an interesting example of the perversions of a collector. The worst sort of collector will buy a watch the day that his child is born, to "remember the occasion". It is exeedingly strange that, when in one of the most meaningful and important times of hos life, the enthusiast id driven to shallow concumption, as if, he would not remember his child without his dive watch, or as if he had a child in order to give himself permission to buy the watch. The romanticism is the most honest answe that a collector can give, but the collector's romanticism is not of the innocent sort. it gives us a view into the sadness of his blue, scarred heart. To see this, we need only to ask him, why exactly he needs a collection of watches? Why is he never satisfied? Shouldn't his romatic desire for a "time peice" be satisfied with one?
>>18327090It is not enough to say that they just want "variety". Why? Because in no other aspect of their lives do they want "variety". They buy the same clothes again and again, the same shoes again and again. Fuck the same woman, again and again. There is nothing stopping these men from becoming obessed with bracelets, or necklaces instead. The central question is, why spend hours a day watching videos of other people's watch collections? why debate the relative merits of watches in forums? why have a grail? why spend thousands of dollars? why does a watch mean that a man has 'made it'?
Don't want to try shit here or anything. Might be my autism speaking but, why get, say, a 700$ new seiko when you can get something like this for half the price?It's not like seikos cost 200$ anymore and when they do, the specs are absymal.
>>18327092the key is to observe how luxury watches are marketed. the best example is omega, with its imafmous and worn out man on the moon pile driving. but also look at rolex. where do you see the signs, f1, wimbeldin, golf, sailing. look at more reserved, high class brands, they are in sailing magazines, the economist. what does patek philippe marketing show, a handsome man in his early forties bonding with his son. What are these brands appealing to? They are appealing to healthy masculinity. Having a device that provides the time, makes a man think that he is in control, that his mortality is not terrifying. Brands are appealing to a man's desire to compete, to adventure, to inspire and provide. The rolex logo is a crown. But how ironic is it that for the thosands of dollars that the avergage buyer if these watches will spend on them, saving, likely for years, and the hours that he will spend thinking about them, he will be all the more impotent as a man. He will not be doing the things that he wants to do, that would make him a man like the one in the commercial, intead he will be fantasising about an object that represents the man that he wishes he was. but this is quite the puzzle. for it takes great effort, working, thinking, debating which watch to get. why is the man willing to expend all this enegry on his hobby, when he would certainly be happier if he put that energy towards being someone that he can better respect.
>>18327095the answer to this question must depend on the peculiar neuroses of each individual collector, but, in general, the answer relates to a sense of hopelessness that many men carry today. the mostly unrealized convition that they cannot, try as they might, get the girl, or be the man. but, despair as they do, in flashes of self understanding, the pain of the emptiness of their lives, forces them back into the cold comfort of obessing over the latest releases at basel world, the new rolex in .3 mm thicker! The same feeling forces other men into porn addiction, alcoholism, or low grade "depression." it is no wonder that, after the rush of adrenaline and dopamine leaves, maybe after a few months of ownership, the enthusiast is driven to scour the market again, like an addict needing another hit to make him feel alive. This of course, makes him even more incapable as men, making it even harder to confront the rot eating away at his soul. It is quite sad to imagine a man, a word of possibilites in front of him, staring at a ticking seconds hand, letting the opportunites to live that he yet has, wither away. If you ever meet a man that does not talk about his watch with an heir of disdain, if you ever meet a man that will refuse to throw his watch into a river, when challenged, to prove his sovergnty, if you ever meet a man that calls his watch a "time piece", realize that you are dealing with a broken man, a man that would kill himself after five minutes of sensory depravation, a man that has willingly agreed, even begged, to be dragged through life by the yoke of expensive psuedo-masculine dreams, sold to him by equally impotent men. Understand that this man's wife hates him more than she loves him, and that his children will sell his "time piece" before his body is cold. Feel contempt for this man, and guard against being infected by his hoplessness. If you feel generous, offer him a hand out of the darkness by asking a simple question: is that the new casio?
>>18327087>>18327088>>18327089>>18327090>>18327092Sir, this is a watch thread.What's on your wrist today?
>>18326580>>18326454What watches are these? Price?
>>18327100Omiga on le rist today
>Seiko vs Citizen vs Bulovaall three above are similar in price, but how do they fare against each other in quality/prestige?
I didn't think it was possible, but I will admit that I can lack imagination sometimes.But THIS is actually the worst /wt/ has ever been.
Tard still tarding?
>>18327108How so?
>>18327103That's definitely a Saturday night watch
>>18327108So far
>>18327126Thread saved. It's over.
>>18327104bamp, sales expire tonight pls
>>18327104Citizen owns Bulova. All three are perfectly fine in terms of quality. Prestige though? That's not why you buy them.
>>18327139not raw prestige, but relative rather. Yeah they’re cheap watches so not much prestige at all, but in my eyes, Seiko carries the larger name amongst the three. Just curious if that is a correct sentiment at all or if there’s something I’m missing
>>18327154Non watch fag here, simply a tourist wanting to buy a watch, Seiko comes off as higher tier. Citizen is like timex I thought and I never heard of the other.
>>18327104If you want something unique at that price point, bulova has an almost completely sweeping seconds hand.It got posted in this thread iirc.If you want an automatic, get a Seiko but be 100% prepared to get the movement regulated the moment you buy it because it will most likely run at +-60 seconds per day out of the box because, usually, Seiko doesn't regulate their movements, not even on their upper end 3 digit watches.If you want Titanium then get a Citizen Zenshin. Be sure to see them in person first somehow. Most of the time, watches tend to look better irl. If you want an all-arounder then the Seiko Alpinist GMT is a great option, albeit a bit too thick.Pic is the sharp edged presage line.
>>18327154Seiko probably has more name recognition, but imo I'd rather have a Citizen in most cases because they give you sapphire and titanium for less money, i.e. Fujitsubo
>>18327100
>>18327182>>18327175>>18327158>>18327139so then technically speaking, they're all more or less similar, just comes down to looks and composition?
>>18327205No no, on the contrary. Different technology. Especially on the Bulovas part. The movement is quite unique.Citizen is Super Titanium™
Any good gold watches out there for not too much? I still don't own one. Was thinking I'd be fine with a citizen honestly
>>18327221Sadly, most of Citizen's dressy watch designs look very mall watch tier. Maybe it's what sells. The Eco-Drive movement is their strength.
>>18327221
>>18327087>Instead of just saying, "it's cool" or "I like it" they will fall into an almost religious exctacy talking about the importantce of "heirlooms", intricate movements, and what their "timepiece" "says" about them.I'd say there are plenty of people that pretty much just say I like it. That's why I got the speedy pro. Sure the history and specs are neat but when I saw it and put it on my wrist I loved the look, at the end of the day thats why I got it. Same reason I did hesalite, sure the sapphire is better for practicality but the hesalite just looks better. Don't care that it's more authentic or anything.
>>18327232Noted. Yeah you're right. Decided to grab a sternglas. I don't usually go for quartz watches but it kinda fits the bill nice at $220 for what I am looking for. >>18327236Holy kino
>>18327094Depends on the age and cost to get it back to nice shape (if it's not already). Other than that no real reason.
Bet you wish your watch face looked this cool

Kofe time.
i have owned a sub and a few GS's in the past but kept selling them bcs not as wearable as a simple plastic casio. still, i recently found myself thinking of buying a SBGY007 bcs of the sweet spring drive and symmetric dial (not spoiled by power reserve window). but it too felt less wearable than my cheap casio but in a different manner. yes, it can also slide under the cuff like my casio, but the seller told me to avoid getting *any* water on it, he said "avoid getting it submerged, nothing more than rain drops". so for example, if im helping my gf do the dishes after a romantic dinner, im supposed to take off the watch in case my hand gets submerged by the water in the sink?i love the mechanics of the spring drive and the sportyness of the sub but i dont want to have to adjust my life to my watch. i want my watch to be robust and slim enough to be adaptable to my life... why is it that my cheap casio somehow still checks more boxes for me than a 10k GS or sub? am i overthinking this or should i just back off watches for a while?
>>18327377Is it fully Zaratsu'd
>>18327399yes it is, and im not even sure i like that level of bling

>>18327414>aka a once per week watchis that really the use case?i was thinking of the sbgy007 as a daily wear
>>18327449My perception of it might be wrong. I see it as a thin, fragile handwound watch. Maybe I just got used to bulky automatic beaters.

The watch I would buy if money was no object would be the the Seiko Spring Drive GMT "batman" version. Its like a rolex batman GMT but way more accurate because its a spring drive.
>>18327710spring drives are nice in pics but they're far too large
>>18327713Maybe bigger but funny enough Seiko weighs a bit less. 152g Rolex to 146g Seiko
And still about half the price of the Rolex.

Does anyone have an SPB143? Thinking of getting one for an upcoming special occasion and I'd like an opinion outside of the reddit/youtube groupthink. Unfortunately none of the dealers near me have one in person ;_;
