Well, the watches are not ugly. This is clearly about so much more than the watches. I could buy YOUR fucking grail watch at this point and you'd write about how I couldn't possibly appreciate or enjoy it as you could.
There was something, I wish I knew what it was, that made you hate me forever and unable to "forgive" buying $2 watches. Or something. You've clearly decided I'm a moron and it's no longer about any of the watches. There's no way you think every single watch I have sucks. It just isn't possible.
And let's address one of my repeated requests: Post YOUR watch collection, fuckface.
I bet you don't have anything. Or you're the troll with ONE Addiesdive, which never made sense to me why a guy with a 'shitter' brand would take such umbrage to what I'm doing.

But I know how trolls are. You're persistent and stubborn and no matter what you'll NEVER let whatever it is go and leave me in peace.
There's nothing wrong with my character. Can you even step outside of yourself and see what your crusade looks like to onlookers? A guy is just happily posting all his acquisitions and you show up with your unfounded insults.

Yeah, it's 42mm """""sea-gull""""" 1963 pilot. Only later I learned that actual 1963 pilots were 38mm but I like aesthetic and prefer slightly bigger watch anyway. Unless you meant AE1200's strap, that one is 22mm silicone from aliexpress on a 18mm to 22mm adapter.
>I'm thinking about a buying double metal watch myself but that would not me something people want to steal.
If you like it wear it anyway desu. Those armitron rubik watches are superior to plastic casio's like a158 (except for backlight that is exactly as shitty as f91w). I'm considering getting a leather strap for mine, or just fully stainless steel bracelet.

So anyone with a gshock 6900. Can you check your back case screws and see if the top 2 don't really bite? I'm afraid to wear the watch in case the seal isn't waterproof.

Why doesn't IWC do GMT watches? You'd think it would be a no brainer with all the focus on pilot watches.

>>18658516
Because the GMT complication is the perfect example of a function people like to imagine they would use, but no one actually does. Online people think you _NEED_ a travel watch. Normal people don’t.
Even pilots rarely wear GMT watches (apart from the GMT-Master, which is more of a status symbol than a necessary part of the job)

It’s expensive to engineer and it’s not a big seller. It’s not worth it from a business perspective.

>>18658522
>not a big seller
It's probably the most popular non-calendar complication, if not it's probably pretty close with chronograph.

I love seiko but their movements are so inaccurate :(

>>18658522
So you're telling me the company that makes autistically complex and ridiculously expensive perpetual calendar watches is concerned with selling common utilitarian everyman watches in volume?

>>18658522
well, the same thing could be said about mechanical watches. no one actually needs one. the gmt looks cool, simple as

>>18658522
>It’s expensive to engineer and it’s not a big seller. It’s not worth it from a business perspective.
This is the correct answer.

All of the online watch aficionados squeaking about how they use it everyday because they’ve got business contacts in a different time zone are still a tiny minority.
They just don’t sell well. (And watch aficionados are also famous for buying used anyway)

Think of it like the car companies with purist cars. We say we want small, simple, lightweight, manual transmission…then some car maker falls for it again, builds the car the purists ask for…and the car languishes unsold on dealer lots, while the SUVs and crossovers fly off the lots.

They can be regulated to be ok, but the real problem is that Seikos cost 2-3 times as much as they should.

SARB017 Alpinist or SPB155 Baby Alpinist? I plan to use this strap regardless of which I choose: https://www.laco.de/en/other-categories/watch-straps/pilot-strap-brown-vintage/402162.xl

The SARB is iconic but very expensive for what it is these days. The SPB is newer and cheaper since it's still in production, but leans more into the field watch look rather than synthesizing dress and field like the SARB does, which I'd say is where the personality of the Alpinist comes from.

This. GMT is only useful for world travelers, and those people mostly use smartphones and shit anyway. So it's within the already small watch community that you have to push GMT.

And there's nothing fraudulent about buying and selling anyway. You're wrong about absolutely everything and you need to leave now.

The more i look at this watch the more I'm liking the way polished titanium shines. I think i actually prefer the look of polished titanium vs polished stainless steel. It has a deeper, darker hue, and the reflections are not so bright and glaring. Makes me wonder how a silver, platinum or white gold watch would look irl.

Anyone know where to score tritium on a watch for under $200?

No. In fact, 'tritium' turns up a completely empty search. Apparently they used to have a lot of tritium watches even under $100, and some under 42mm (which seem to be the smallest), but it's like they're avoiding them now. I found one watch where the word was in the description, meaning they made it so the search turns up nothing even though it should.
Pretty odd if you ask me. I guess a lot has changed for Aliexpress over the years. I saw a youtube guy showing off used vintage watches he bought there, and such a thing is certainly not available now. Maybe I missed the good times. I know tariffs and just general greed and inflation have made everything more expensive anyway, but it's sad to see videos where you could get a starter Seiko 5 for under $100 just 4 or 5 years ago.

>>18659005
I like it too, but titanium finishing fades much faster than stainless steel.
You can look at some used titanium watches on Chrono24 to see, it's especially bad if the watch has a bracelet too.
After some years they begin to look kind of... post-apocalyptic or something.
It reminds me of some movies or games, like you would see some kind of a zombie, or an orc, or some monster wearing that watch. Very unappealing.

This one is $2,000. Looks so much better with welded lugs. I might take a Dremel bit to mine and try and replicate it. I plan on doing a bit of case reshaping modifications on a handful of my watches. And play with different textures and intentional scratches and etchings. Just one of the many benefits of an affordable collection.

>>18658978
I've been looking. The only one even close to $200 is from Ukraine. Most are well over $300 or want $65 shipping to bring them there.
To pay $350 for a used watch I'd want to know it was absolutely mint and good to go.
Of course the fact that a 60 year old watch is still working is testament to that case.
My main reason not to get one is that I'd resent myself for maybe doing it because all of the Weekdater spam here, honestly. I'd feel I was gotten to by repetitive advertising. And that may be why I've bought other Seikos.

Gen 1 looks big on wrists less than 7", so mine looks like a dinner plate. The Shore should be more forgiving since it has a bezel. However, the case design might make it look thicc, which is an issue with the gen 1.

Thanks. The date numbers are a bit small and the hands could have been a bit better, those are the only complaints i have about it. The model is SBTM339, it's around $400 plus shipping, customs and taxes as it's a JDM model and you have to import it from Japan.

I see. I'm posting that more as a meme, in the end you should always buy a watch that YOU like, no matter what. Expect to pay around 400-500 or more for a good example. But it's worth it, you get a great watch for that money, even compared to modern watches.

>>18659043
Oh? I didn't know that. I guess I'll have to see. It's supposed to have some protective coating which is harder than normal titanium, but as far as i understand this only protects from mild bumps and light scratching as it's very thin and the actual hardness depends on both the base material and the coating, and the severity of the impact.

>>18659230
I already scratched the undersides of the lugs when i switched the bracelet for a strap and back to bracelet, but you can't see that so it's not a big deal. I expect I'm going to scratch it over time anyway, it's my daily/sports watch, that's what it's for.

Guy from before here >>18658742

Decided to go with the baby alpinist. I had AI do a mock-up of what each watch would look like on a nubuck leather strap, which is what I'm going to use, and liked the SPB155 much, much more on it. The rough matte dial just fits it so much better, I think. I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on buying the baby alpinist and hopefully it'll actually hold up in person once it arrives.

>>18659264
I don't know which is which. I'd the the one without the compass. It has a putting green dial.

>>18659267
Yep, that would be the SPB155 baby alpinist. I like the idea of the compass bezel, but I got my hands on one recently and I didn't like how it's unanchored and just works itself around over the course of the day. It's also just not that satisfying to turn when you do use it. In addition, I already have a watch with a sunburst green dial so the matte dial would be less redundant. I'm feeling a lot better about this choice, now that I've made it.

I've been on this website for over 15 years across many general threads and honestly kofe anon is pretty tame compared to most other generals I've frequented.

>DIAMETER: 40.5 mm
Yeah, it's big. Note that 40mm usually isn't too big for a watch for for that style, where it's all face and no bezel, I think it's too big. You want the 38mm presage imo. I have the original from a long time ago (SARB065) and I never wear it.

>>18659458
*but for that style

>>18659457
Also 40.5mm with 47mm L2L.
He doesn't NEED to start with Seiko.

>>18659454
If you're new to watches don't just order something that's several hundred dollars. Go and try on watches and know the dimensions. If you can't go somewhere to do that, order a couple of $5 shitters to test drive. Believe me, the last thing you want to do is just fall in love with pictures and pull the trigger. 40mm isn't big, but it's usually the max if you have a 6.5" or smaller wrist. And like another anon says, it's big for a dressy watch like the Presage.
The homage route could also help. Get a knockoff of the expensive watch you want so you can get a feel for what the real thing would be. You don't want to be stuck with something you may not end up loving.
But also if you have the money and you're pretty sure you love the watch you can always just go for it. Many places accept returns if you still have all the stuff and haven't worn the watch much.

>>18659418
I agree with him, one photo of a watch with a cup of coffee every day vs endless complaining and whining about how anon's thread has been ruined and how avatarfahs and blah blah... Just ignore him if it bothers you that much.

>>18659452
I second that, it's a bit too big at 40.5mm, get the 38mm one.

>>18659468
I'm only recommending it because he's already interested in Seiko, this is similar in aesthetic, has lower barrier to entry, and would give him a good taste of what he's already interested in.

>>18659198
In picrel you can see there's a bevel just where the strap would rub against the case with a straight spring bar. This puts the edge of the strap as close to the case as possible without rubbing. It's peak GS design, and something I've never seen discussed in any video or forum. (It's the second image from the right on the top).

I got a giant G-shock for my birthday and I would like to wear it from time to time, but it's hard to do so.

>>18659664
Do you mean the strap won't get tight enough? You could put another strap like a nato on it, it'll probably still look goofy and oversized on you. Your best bet is politely telling the person who gifted it to you that it doesnt fit and replacing it with a smaller g shock like a dw5600 or even a baby g.

$59, and I don't believe they do. I just ordered a second one for a Christmas gift for later in the year. Might even get a couple more.
They're offered in different colored nato straps.
They're half the price they used to be, assuming because he wants to get rid of them. But I really love mine. And you can't beat that price.
I've even got it sitting in with the A team as my slot filler while I wear the watch of the day.
Snazzy fucking quartz. I haven't even begun to test out different straps.

>Do you mean the strap won't get tight enough?
It could, but I need to make it too tight for long-term comfort.

>You could put another strap like a nato on it
I did, and it sort of works better.
The problem is, since the watch comes with an integrated strap, I had to buy adapters to put nato on it. The adapters effectively make the watch longer.
Though nato works ok-ish on it, there is a noticable gap between my wrist and the outer top part of the strap.
I don't care about that, but it makes the watch slowly slide in that direction no matter what I do, which is annoying.

>Your best bet is politely telling the person who gifted it to you that it doesnt fit and replacing it with a smaller g shock like a dw5600 or even a baby g
My birthday was months ago, and the person doesn't like the idea of me selling it. I respect that.

I was thinking maybe marine nationale could work better than nato.

>>18659678
Easy: poke a new hole in between the too tight and too loose holes. Make your own Goldilocks zone, buddy. It's a cheap watch anyway. And you can't as easily switch out G-Shock straps.
You might use an X-ACTO blade or maybe even melt your way through.

If you had the tools and the materials and the know-how, yes it would be. But will you?
Most of us won't.
And for us there's Etsy and similar places to connect with people who do and support their craftsmanship.

I might start making them. Because I want some REALLY funky and unique straps and the few I've found that qualify are like $65 and up. I've been looking for a new creative hobby to get into. Perhaps I will.
But most are more involved than just cutting leather. Many are layered, which is probably done in sheets with adhesives before cutting them. I'll have to learn all that. I've seen some amazing things. And I inherited so much old fabric from my parents, plus sewing machines and tools. I'm ready to go once I have the motivation. I should probably lay off the weed.

Meanwhile, I just ordered this pretty cool one for $20.

The argument is that they're so popular with lowest common denominator watch enthusiasts because the design is just that great.

I don't get it myself. There's something so cold and utilitarian about them. Like they're from an ugly future. The sharp, metallic, hexagonal look and the integrated steel bracelet lack warmth and sophistication. The grid dial only adds to this.
It would feel out of place in a natural setting with wood and leather and candlelight.

The moment I first saw it I got those feelings and it's taken until now to even begin to verbalize them.
So yeah, the Tissot PRX and anything that it has inspired are of no interest to me.

But we can't choose our taste. Nothing against anyone who likes them. Doesn't make them soulless or anything. I've seen them in collections with watches I do like.

Well, it's a sports watch, not a field/pilot watch, something that's leaning into a rustic or outdoorsy mood, more of an urban adventures type of thing. But even then, I don't agree with you on this point, depends on the color variant, I suppose.

i think 'swiss steel sports with bracelet' for under $1000 is the part that made it so lowest common denominator.

in every other way id say the prx is unique enough to warrant some defense. first, visually, as you noted. not a lot of things look like the prx. between the futura retro thing it has going, it looks more like a 70s television. most watches on the market, dont do that. it looks futuristic but in the way people 50 years ago thought the future would look. the integrated bracelet is also relatively unique. its not a concept i love but i think it looks really good on the watch. also how many modern 35mm watches are coming out? even the 38mm one is pretty small compared to everything else marketed between 2000s and now. all of these things say 'soul' to me. even the prx font is nice.

i legitimately like mine. it could me cheaper msrp but pre owned the price is pretty inoffensive.

I'm looking to make a step up from my green bezel Casio Duro and am considering this San Martin. I really want a dive watch with a green bezel, black or fume grey dial, and gold/bronze gilded hands and markers. The problem is, this is a 37mm watch and I have 7.5" wrists, and they don't have this color style for their BB58 homage, only their smaller BB54 homage.

Do you guys have any recommendations or pointers for other options? I'm not necessarily looking for a Tudor homage but this has the details I'm looking for, I'd consider other options if they had the same color choices on the bezel, dial, and hands, regardless of their styling.

>>18659865
If they have no affiliation with the brand at all, it could just be their stylists’ choice, or even their personal watch.

The brand may approach a celebrity with offers of a one-time thing. Like, here’s 10 grand and the catalog. Pick something from it and we’ll send it to you. Even in that case, the stylist might do the choosing. The brands themselves don’t usually say, wear this specific model.

I told you why I deleted things. I'm not scared of anything. I don't know what you're even referring to. But clearly you took offense to something to do with nazis. I don't know. I'm sure you'll do your sleuthing and post whatever it was.
Doesn't matter. None of this matters. I'm a stranger to you. You cannot tie anything to anything that will affect my actual life. So I can really post whatever I want here and not give a flying fuck.
I think you people forget that. There's nothing to fear. Even if you doxxed me it wouldn't matter. Because what would or could anyone even do that would make me care?

This is all a fucking joke. Except the watches. I really do care about them. But sure, repost whatever you think I wrote. Make your faggot chud buddies dislike me for it. LOL, I couldn't care less. I'm no one. Just like you.

If you aren't a white nationalist or a goldbug libertarian what are you even doing on this website?

Things changed around me over many years. And now I'm just considered a "newfag" because I don't fit in with the scum who flooded here since 2016.
There are alternatives to this place but they just aren't the same or they have no traffic. I know it's not working out but I'm not going to quit. This place was mine first and I won't be bullied out.
But I'm aware of the effort. Even the janitors sometimes actively work against me depending on the board. Thing is, there are just enough people who agree with me. If I felt truly alone here I would leave. And that has not happened yet.

it would probably help you avoid being seen as a newfag if you weren't a reaction-gif-posting, samefagging, failanon newfag.

you cant even (you) the right post retard

>>18659934
Posting reaction GIFs is not new though. See? That's what I mean. You haven't been here as long as me but you think you know it better. But you only know how it's been since you've been paying attention because you were NOT here back in the day. Every image I have I got FROM here. And I don't samefag. You do know what that means, right? Most of you young, fresh morons don't.

At least four. There's nothing secretive or sinister about it though. This one was just a mistake. Why does it bug you? Didn't you point it out and call me a retard?
LOL, I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. You must just leave the thread open all day so you can reference things that are gone.

I'm not covering anything up. Why are you so captivated by me anyway?
Is this the only way you know how to interact with others; through negativity? Don't you have friends? Everything you're doing is rude or an attack on me. Is this really just because I'm a lefty who called out some nazi shit? YOU are offended by that?
lol, I've seen everything now.
