Do you like it in gold?

What kind of watches should I give to my girl to get her into watches?

Women can't get into watches because:
1. There are few decent women's watches
2. Women are not sentient

An user in these threads got a vintage women's girard perregaux. I'm sure there are vintage pieces from other makers you could look into too.

Vintage is the best bet like said. Vintage stuff is hip.

post hi-beats

...

'Kay

although to be honest, in terms of women's designer watches, kate spade has some fairly tasteful stuff.

Which are decent, though?
Those are gorgeous, I wish I could afford to put one on her wrist.
I'm afraid I don't know what makes to look at, is the issue.
That's quite the piece
She's a fan of their purses so my first thought was a Spade piece to companion them.

WAY/WT/?

The vintage Grand Seiko 19GS. Without exaggeration the greatest women's production watch ever made. It's the only hi-beat women's mechanical watched ever produced.

...

Very nice! When did a /wt/ goer get a Spring Drive GS?

Someone posted their snow frake here not all that long ago too m8.

I don't think I'm the only one but I've had it a few months. Companion piece to the 5S21.

Classy.

Spring Drive webm when? How do you like it?

...

...

I do not famalam. Gold watches in general look bad imo.

Post pictures of that gorgeous Heuer more regularly please. Damn that's a sexy watch.

...

Just for you user.

It's a little bigger and heavier than I tend to prefer, but the finishing on the hands and dial is amazing. The beveled edges of the hands reflect the light beautifully. The back is also very nicely done. The bracelet is a total scratch magnet for some reason.

Shut up! Shut up!

Quartz >>> Mechashit

>this faggot again

...

...

prominent peaks at 50Hz and its overtones

do you all hate Seiko's mecha-quartz movements?

>pic related, VK64 movement

They're okay. Having a heart cam reset is pretty cool to be honest. The incongruity of the chrono hand ticking at 5Hz and the running second ticking at 1Hz simultaneously messes with me - I would probably have preferred a high-beat running seconds to match.

They went through a period (still going?) of being in every kickstarter watch of the week, a lot of which (obviously) had some sad design decisions, which soured me a bit on the movement through no fault of its own.

I sawthis "Panzera Breuer" watch on massdrop for 250$, supposedly (((50%))) off.

Apparently it has a Miyota movement and with the Bauhaus dial and the milanese it looks kinda like the 1000$ Junghans Max Bill automatic.

Is it worth it?

And the Junghans Max Bill for comparison.

which miyota?

looks not really super legible and the date window is small and awkward. Would also recommend a careful inspection of the dimensions as the pervasive bauhaus watch wears like a dinner place, and those lugs look (from that one picture) very unforgiving.

>those gaudy indices
do you even bauhaus

hard pass, to tell you the truth.

That engraving looks nice

phew you were being sarcastic, I almost shat myself

...what?

What brand is this?

I'll try to get more non-potato pics, have this in the meantime.

my nigger this is fun to watch

>I actually have impersonators now

You're not wrong though, quartz is far superior to luddite garbage

hoptroff

That's their limited edition atomic pocketwatch. They make CSAC watches.

incredible watch

just

fyi I LOVE TO SUCK COCKS

I like mine, now that I have a real mechanical one though it just isn't the same.

>ANUS

thanks user I knew I could count on you

Can't help love this slavshit's simplicity.

i can

I currently have a F-91W due to the meme factor and cost. Though my current F-91W loses time fairly quickly (approx 5 - 10 seconds over about 2 weeks).

Suggestions on a cheap, but accurate/consistent digital watch? I prefer seconds and a digital display due to my job.

Casio W201.

What's /wt/ opinion on this Bulova and it's movement?

I know this sound strange but if you got it on eBay it could be a fake F -91W. If you hold down the button on the right it should display 'CASIO', if it doesn't it's fake.

I accidentally bought a fake and it kept shit time.

No idea about the movement
Great-looking dial
Terrible case
Strap is meh, but you'd change it anyway

see that little U below the resist text? that probably means it's real
also try holding all the buttons it should display all the characters (if it's a real one)
afterwards press any button and it'll return to normal

>sweeping seconds hand
>+/- 10 seconds per year
>battery life is only 2 years

That case is pretty ugly and they tend to be fuck huge though.

t. Accutron II owner.

I know, the pic is to show the CASIo thing. Or did you mean that reply for ?

yes

>they tend to be fuck huge though.
This.

What the fuck were they thinking when they drew that moon watch?

>What the fuck were they thinking when they drew that moon watch?
BIG

BULOVA

I like them, but I don't like the running seconds or the 24hr hand.

Save another $300 and get one of these

>halitosis no name mushroom brand that releases god knows when

no thanks

gold is literally the only case material that goes with a green dial.

Do you shave your arms?

Both the puck and seaforth are going up for preorder mid-may. The laguna is available right now. A trivially quick read of the site would reveal this.

I have one of those, it's my beater watch for wearing at the gym, doing chores involving nasty chemicals, and outdoor activities. I've had it for 8 months and it's cumulatively lost 3 seconds over that time. For $100 or so, it's hard to complain about the looks. But, about those looks. It's even uglier IRL than in the pictures so don't expect something you can wear and be presentable. The lume is absolute shit.

Hydroed my GWM5610, and I'm pretty happy it turned out well.

pretty sure his point is that this is an unknown brand, and there is no reason to treat its promises of release dates as anything but a work of fantasy

Why would you hydro a watch that's already 20bar resistant?

Also I wouldn't be surprised if filling a G-Shock actually hurts its shock resistance somehow.

SAD!

Skeleton. She'll be interested in seeing the mechanisms

Looking for a mechanical watch with a blue face and dial, and a scalloped bezel in the Omega style. Budget is $200. The only thing I could find is the alpha watch which are too much of a knock off for my tastes.

Why would you AR coat sapphire? It is already see through enough

SAD!

Explain in no less than 500 words why would you waste money on a Seiko, Vostok or Orient.

Because it makes fags like you mad, and that alone makes then better than a shitter Rolex.

Hawe fun saturation diving with you're hydro G-Shock then! :^)

Oh wait, I bet you take it off to wash your hands :^)

They are good watches for the price and hold their value quite well too (at least the memes like SKX, Bambino and Amphibia)

Jokes on you, I actually am a diver.

Sure you are :^)

Sink diving doesn't count X^D

These threads are fucking toxic now. There used to be more wristshots, collection shots and actual horological discussion.

need answer for this /wt/

""""""""May"""""""""""""
""""""""available"""""""""

Kys

Seiko is one of the greatest production watchmakers of all time. Denying that just displays a person's own horological ignorance.

maybe if you're a leprechaun lmao
