Why have sarb prices gone up like $100 in past year?
Jacob Wright
because seiko thinks people will pay $2000 for a $500 watch
did the mod massacre the watch threads? wtf happened overnight?
Noah Sanders
>did the mod massacre the watch threads? wtf happened overnight?
yeah we are in purgatory now ;_;
what shall become of us
Jeremiah Edwards
maybe the same mod who decided beer and wine should be banned from /ck/
David Jenkins
Seiko stopped making them. The same movement can be found in certain Presages at a much higher price point. Some retailers in Japan still have SARBs and have them on sale in order to liquidate, probably under pressure from Seiko. I picked a 033 up a few weeks ago for $300 and have seen at least two others since then in random shops.
Eli Nelson
that stinks
i like them
Michael Harris
Same, I wanted to get an Alpinist too but those are impossible to find here.
Jeremiah Peterson
Caleb Russell
The cocktail time presages look pretty good and offer value, but the SARB outclasses them all day.

What Swiss or German watch companies aren't run by Jews?
Noah Cooper
>aren't run by Jews?
Dominic Ross
>Swiss or German
Aiden Campbell
>>Swiss or German
>>not jews
Jace Wright
Good question, actually. The few german ones are buying their movements from the swiss (eta, etc..), so not only you need to scan for jewish management, but also for where the parts come from.
The swiss, well, most of the luxury swiss watchmakers are in a conglomerate (LVMH, Swatch group, etc...). And most of these groups are as jewish as you can be.
Stick with the japs or if you really need a watch from a kikish company, buy it used, so they dont get your money, at least.
You could also search for small, independant watchmakers.
Bentley Clark
Good morning /wt/.
Dominic Martin
>Henry WInston
>H is filled like the D in DW
Didn't know Swatch group used the fashion shitter formula.
Luis Mitchell
Maybe DW copied it, i dont know. But with calvin klein, they have a fashion shitter right there.
Watch companies (or almost all modern companies) would sell you shit in a bag, if they could market it right. They dont have any principles left in them.
Charles Wright
>Watch companies (or almost all modern companies) would sell you shit in a bag, if they could market it right. They dont have any principles left in them.
Think about the new Timex Marlin or collectible swatches kek.
Jaxson Thomas
What's the general opinion of Stowa? Reliable? I noticed many of their lower tier models use 2824.
Nathan Foster
Out of all these brands maybe Glashütte and Certina doesn't suck total dick.
Jason Thomas
Jack Jenkins
How do you thematically organize your collection wt?
Thomas Campbell
>What Swiss or German watch companies aren't run by Jews?
There is literally nothing wrong with being ethnically or spiritually Jewish. Moses was the precipice of modern, Western Civilization as we know it.
Ayden Lewis

Pic is one of the jack-of-all trades watches I have, quartz, water resistant (had it tested), day-date, good-looking, sturdy build, comfy bracetel etc.

God exists, but he is not the false god that people imagined, just to control the dumb people.
Evan Stewart
Is there anything more pathetic that an automatic movement downgraded to manual wind? At least those krauts should have sourced a movement that was designed to be manually wound in the first place.
Sebastian Diaz
Fuck, wrong pic, that's just a busted-up, old swivel-lug Amphibia.
David Hall
Oh NEIN, we can not ze do that! We at stowa dont want to invest a single cent more than its needed to. Ze ETA's were cheaper and god forbid that we would have to invest any money in modernizing helbros movements for our watches.
But seriously, helbros is closed, or am i mistaking sth.? ETA is just cheap and easy to hike up the prices. Most of the market has agreed upon similar price segments and some watches are staying in these margins. Its all a game to milk the retarded customer.
Camden Green
>But seriously, helbros is closed
Even that movement is Swiss. It's an AS1914.
Luke Ross
>thinner watches are for cucks
t. the situation from jersey shore
Anthony James
Are slide rule bezel autistic ?
Noah Ward
I want a watch with a pastel colored dial hopefully affordable
You guys know some models to buy?
Zachary Nelson
That's not what I said, you fucking dumb nigger.
Landon Powell
Ordered one of these. I might stray from watches to "anything that has a clock in it" territory. Will take it apart and post pics when it arrives. I definitely want to get the clock running.
Apparently older lighters with hand-winding analog watch movements exist, but they're kinda expensive just for a goof.
Zachary Taylor
I mean look at this shit!
I wonder if that 17 jewel movement is like a proper quality watch movement or just some pin-pallet abomination.
Jaxon Richardson
>I might stray from watches to "anything that has a clock in it"
Look at stopwatches too, they're neat.
Colton Fisher
>Is there anything more pathetic that an automatic movement downgraded to manual wind?
Is there any real, pratical problem with that?
Stowa makes Unitas 6498 fliegers too.
oh wow
Evan Hall
I like the Unitas for how old-school simple it is, but damn those jews at ETA sure do overprice them!
Lincoln Sanchez
A 6498 isn't literally an automatic movement with the rotor bits ripped off, with the holes in the bridges still present.
Jacob Bailey
The Thai cashier in the mall's food court had a desk calculator that showed the time when not used. Now I want one.
Noah Brooks
if it's not a rolex, take a short walk of a long pier

no practical use. buy a chronograph and dump it.

Which One
Wyatt Anderson
hello /wt/ what is a fair price to shell out for pic related? assuming that it is serviced, but without box and papers. Original metal belt is included
Sebastian Rodriguez

Terrifying
Jonathan Taylor
You are just Jelly
Camden Sullivan
Model # would help. From looks alone and the fact it seems like a pretty standard 21 jewel seiko automatic...$50-$75?
Liam Kelly
Citizen Eco Drive AW1360-55E
Christian Ross
thanks for opinion, looks quite nice but I found €250 this guy is asking for as waay over the top. Looks like I will pass this one
uhrforum.de
Jaxon Reed
Didn't mean to copy your post in, talking to used seiko guy.
That being said that citizen looks like a decent budget alternative to a hamilton khaki.
Christopher Harris
I mean it's vintage but that does seem over the top unless Seiko collectors place a good value on it. I'd rather buy a presage or find a SARB at that price point.
Brody Parker
Thoughts on ana-digi watches?
Post your favourite ana-digi.
Jaxson Reed
Why are there no Casio Duro 200s available in Europe? And the white dial version seems untraceable. Guess they thought it canabilized too much..
Wyatt Perez
This is the best ana-digi
Evan Walker
Gabriel Carter
This is a interesting concept, but I would prefer having both the analog and lcd displays on the same side.
Definitely better than my Casio though, can't argue with that.

What the fuck bro?
David Miller
Jow Forums can't afford nice watches so posts their shitters and tries justify it with technical arguments
/fa/ posts watches simply because they look good.
Aiden Foster
>watches simply because they look good.
Jack Martinez
If any of the seven or however many Toronto regulars we have wanted to see something ny collection I'll be up there this weekend.
Hunter Hughes
yeah, Jow Forums is exactly this.
Ryder Perez
Which Orient is that? Damn I was gonna get a black Orient but the blue looks real nice in your pic.
Sebastian Turner
(not him)
Orient Ray II
Thomas Carter
I like the Ray 2 Mako 2 and the TriStar. Too many choices even in the same brand.
Julian Watson
>not appreciating the horological virtues of 7S26, with Balance Wheel™ and Escapement™ and Mainspring™
Obviously you don't know SHIT about horology
Nathan Bailey
Blue Ray II. Pretty watch considering Jap shitter status.
Camden King
Do the date and day jump or are they slow like a Seiko?
Julian Gomez
I think I'll wear this one tomorrow.
Is one Elnix enough, /wt/? I already have like four-five Cosmotrons.
Cooper Powell
I have an old shitter Orient, it's probably the same movement, and it's a slow change.
Tyler Ward
Yes, one elnix is enough. Get a cosmotron gx.
Jace Jones
Slowfam. Considering the $140ish price tag I'm not real upset.
Grayson Carter
I want to start buying cheap NATOs in bulk from some dealer in Alibaba and reselling for profit on eBay
Is there anything that can go wrong?
Luke Adams
You'd be stuck with a shitload of cheap ass NATO straps that no one wants.
Asher Sanders
even small sellers sell their stuff fast
just look on ebay on a random smol one
William Jackson
might be a gun
Julian Parker
*charges you $3,000 for a valjoux 7750 equipped chronograph*
Nathaniel Robinson
It's radioactive, should be careful with those radium dials.
Carson Williams
US customs are shit hot on random stuff, it's possible the seller put a random sticker on the box like "this way up" or something similar just trying to be helpful not knowing that causes people to think it's dangerous goods.
Or it could be nothing.
Nicholas Gonzalez
Poorfag here, does your girl wear watches too? Its not often that i see women wearing watches
