The New Watch Thread

[Aphex]

Hey guys been a while since we had a watch thread and I know a bunch of you guys are really into watches so here's a new thread.

I had some trouble finding the watch I wanted but low and behold I found the Oris Big Crown Pointer.

I had a question as to whether or not I can switch to a leather band in the future? Are they standardized in size? I emailed Oris but haven't received a reply yet and the store did not know.

More modern but doesn't look like anything special.

I like them both, those are some nice watches.

I personally prefer the SS bands.

[Eagle]

I like the second one.

This is what the back looks like. Not the same watch but it looks similiar anyway.

[Eagle]

That's awesome. I wish my watch had a skeleton back.

[Aphex]

Post some of your faves. Make sure to post some quartz watches so ronin can give you shit.

[Aphex]

That's awesome. I wish my watch had a skeleton back.

Do you completely dislike the watch im looking at? If so, what about it; i'm curious.

[angelus]

i like the modern version better just cuz i am not a huge fan of gold unless its with a leather strap.

[Eagle]

Mine :)

[Eagle]

No I don't dislike it, I just like the second one better. Like you said, it just looks more modern.

[cl0ckw0rksi02]

nice breitling.

[stryker]

go visit www.friendsoforis.com (or .net)

you can get a better answer

i'm saving up for a oris tt1 titan myself (not sure what variation yet)

[Eagle]

Hey Aphex, what brand watches do you like?

[The Mack]

are they more then $125? that's the most I'll spend on a watch. I can't justify anything more.

[stryker]

are they more then $125? that's the most I'll spend on a watch. I can't justify anything more.

yep...all oris are over $125

they start at $800+

breitling is not for me....too much stuff that i dont use

[Eagle]

breitling is not for me....too much stuff that i dont use

I didn't get it to use all the stuff lol. I got it because I like it. It was between that one and many others. In person, its a breath taking watch.

[VTEC-RSXS]

ORIS is not the best quality watches. They usually tend to have problems.

If you want a quality movement watch with a reasonable price get an Omega or a Tag, or if you want to go a little more, a Rolex, Breitling or a Panerai (My personal Favorite)

[cl0ckw0rksi02]

nice watches! big big fan. here's mine.

what problems? that is what warranty is for

you do realize omega, tag, oris and other "swiss" watches get movements from 3rd party companies right?

the only watch that makes their own movements in house is seiko

i like casio g-shocks. they are my sport/kid watches.

quartz aren't all that bad, just mechanical are "cooler" because of their sweeping second hand

[cl0ckw0rksi02]

arizonarsx, which breitling is that?

i just bought the player in ceramic. a friend of mine then went out and bought the black one. nixon is getting known pretty well around here. i like mine because i beat the shit out of my watches and scratch them all the time. the ceramic looks the same as the day i bought it. no scratches or anything on it. can't complain about the swiss movement either.

[arizonarsx]

yeah my player is scratched up a bit.. but they are great watches

[Aphex]

Hey Aphex, what brand watches do you like?

oris (obviously) as something high-end yet affordable for me

seiko for their good prices, solid watches and technology. seiko makes the world's most accurate automatic.

omega for their excellent quality and nice overall designs.

patek phillipe for their complications (10 day tourbillion!), but the price is way more than I can see myself spending on a watch

citizen as a nice beater watch. their titanium are super light and comfortable. they also are powered by light so you don't need to worry about charging.

there are others i like like IWC, baume mercier, avier to just name a few. this is off the top of my head.

[ronin_asano]

I like them both, those are some nice watches.

I personally prefer the SS bands.

bands play music.

watches have bracelets or straps.

[stryker]

If you want a quality movement watch with a reasonable price get an Omega or a Tag, or if you want to go a little more, a Rolex, Breitling or a Panerai (My personal Favorite)

rolex is a name. that's all. it is not a high quality watch.

[stryker]

hey aphex, how do you like that tt1 chrono of yours?

Zona, are those really yours? If so, sweet collection man.

What's your honest opinion of Breitlings. Hit me with it man.

[ronin_asano]

ibroninsaysquartzwatchesareforpansies

for real.

if you are spending the kind of money a 'nice' watch costs, then why the fuck would you get it with a $10 quartz movement?

[ronin_asano]

What's your honest opinion of Breitlings. Hit me with it man.

some of them suffer from busy dials, but they have some nice, classy looking watches. if i could find a discount like i can get on omegas, i'd probably own a brietling.

[arizonarsx]

Zona, are those really yours? If so, sweet collection man.

yeah bro & thanks

[ronin_asano]

he is probably talking about the seiko spring drive

that omega co-axial is one accurate motherfucker.

[Aphex]

ORIS is not the best quality watches. They usually tend to have problems.

can you back this up a bit more? I'm interested because I've read the exact opposite. Also my grandfather has one and it's been excellent so far. I looked it over and the watch looks very well built. It's damn accurate too! He only gains about 5 seconds per day vs. a quartz watch.

[Aphex]

really? i've had two seiko divers that always ran 5 minutes fast.

that's insane. my cheapo seiko5 runs +20. and yes, as mentioned I was talking about the seiko spring drive. it's automatic, comparable in accuracy to quartz and has a sweeping second hand (unlike the ticking hand on regular automatic watches)

very nice looking too

i agree. hopefully my next breitling, the dial won't be as busy as my b2.

Well, alot of people love them, Im not asking you to just take my opinion, I personally do not like them.

I had 2, one of the movements had a malfuntion and just plain stopped working, and the other one had the pins constantly pulling out of the band, and it would just randomly fall off, then i had to go get it put back together, becuase it would lose small pieces when the pins fell out. VERY ANNOYING.

BUT, i might have just had bad experiene.

However, my Rolex, both my Omegas, and my Panerai Luminor Arktos, have NEVER had any problems, and i am pretty abusive to everyone of them except my Panerai.

To each his own. :thumbsup:

[Zissou]

i have 2 Seiko kinetics and a Citizen eco-drive, an old Bulova wind-up, a Skagen and a Tag Heuer that i never wear.

im looking for a slightly classier watch pref. kinetic/wind-up with a chrono

[ronin_asano]

that's insane. my cheapo seiko5 runs +20. and yes, as mentioned I was talking about the seiko spring drive. it's automatic, comparable in accuracy to quartz and has a sweeping second hand (unlike the ticking hand on regular automatic watches)

what? all autos have sweeping second hands. quartz watches have the ticking second hand. that's one of the dead giveaways.

the weird thing is those two divers had the 7S26 movement, which is one of seiko's best for robustness. takes a serious beating. also, they are perfectly accurate on the +5. once it gets to that point, it stays on it.

[Eagle]

I can't believe no one else is commenting on zonas watches, he has the most baller collection I've seen just yet.

[Eagle]

Can we get pictures of some of these watches you guys are speaking about?

[ronin_asano]

i like that brietling, but not that rectangular one.

[Eagle]

That rectangular is upward of 10k. It looks fantastic in person IMO.

I have a TAG and like it a lot. Got it as a graduation gift from my parents.

watches should be round.

[Aphex]

hey aphex, how do you like that tt1 chrono of yours?

i never ended up getting it since I found the Oris which I fell in love with. plus it cost so much less. I've been hunting for the one I wanted since and found it nearby at an authorized dealer. Going to cost me about $900

[arizonarsx]

what is the rectangular one?

it's a breitling.. prolly the best gift i have ever received, lol

[cl0ckw0rksi02]

at first, i thought the oris with the orange accents was nicer, it caught my eye immediately....but the more i look at the both of them, the more i like the white one (modern one)....i like the orange accents but the hands are kinda ugly IMO....

as for the brietlings, as ronin said, they are fuckin nice, but they are way too busy for me....though 'zona's looks pretty fuckin dope....

I LOVE that watch. I just checked them out on Ebay and they're less expensive than I thought they'd be. My dad wears a Breitling and it's just beautiful. I'm not sure which model it is...

Nope. Financing jewelry is the dumbest thing I can think of. I make enough money where I can afford a few new watches a year without changing my lifestyle. But since I am more concerned about saving money I buy watches at the rate of one every couple of years.

well that tissot line has all these unusual features that probably won't be to much use for the regular user like (altimeter) anyways so i can't really help you there..

i like diver watches myself (200m water resist myself) so that's a standard for me.

ask yourself this question, do you plan to go underwater beyond 30m? for example, the famous omega moon watch can go to the moon but it can't go underwater over 50m? what kinda madness is this!?!

it is really up to you on what watch you want. im just here to help :)

all the bentley ones have the rim in the back.

[stryker]

In these threads, If you don't spend a minimum of 5K your watch is not "nice", and you must have got it out of a cracker jack box :rolleyes:

that is the stereotype. i respect quality watches, not price/brand factor.

if you are that insecure, you would need to buy a watch because of its price tag rather than personal view on quality

[stryker]

if you want cool features, check out those casio protrek. they are basically the inspector gadgets of watches. they are pretty affordable too

Indeed. It is craftsmanship, history, quality, and style that goes behind a "nice" watch. There is nothing wrong with a $10 or $100 watch.

Thats great, however, you said those watches were $700,000 liquidation. Those look like the Royal Oak series to me. In which case that would be about $350,000 for all 22, since they sell for around 25K a piece. Just curious where you came up with that figure?

my father is a collector and is in the jewlery/watch industry he can also get you anything else you may need, only high quality goods tho:thumbsup:

[stryker]

like those 30 dollar casio watches all the terrorists use to set off the bombs! :noes: :noes: :run: :run:

they know whats up with casio value

[b9ev]

Thats great, however, you said those watches were $700,000 liquidation. Those look like the Royal Oak series to me. In which case that would be about $350,000 for all 22, since they sell for around 25K a piece. Just curious where you came up with that figure?

The bottom two are the most expensive at 110kish. They all vary a lot in price depending on the exact model.

Edit: A collector that doesn't own that collection gave that estimate.

Oh OK.

[crazyeddy]

I LOVE that watch. I just checked them out on Ebay and they're less expensive than I thought they'd be. My dad wears a Breitling and it's just beautiful. I'm not sure which model it is... I think it's a two tone Chrono Cockpit. I wear a Rolex Daytona but I think I'd rather have that Bentley edition...

Here's mine:

in all honesty it takes me long enough to read the time on anything not digital.

and with all those numbers id be staring for a goooood long while. time would pass by while i try to figure it out.

all the bentley ones have the rim in the back.

Mine doesn't it has the bently symbol on the back. Some have the wheel others have the car. Depends on the model you pick.

Mingrey, thanks for the compliments I love your watch as well! :thumbsup:

LMAO@ people in here buying a watch thats more expensive than the car they drive. The cheapest APs go for like 15K. You guys finance those? 5.0% apr for 60 months?

No we make good money, save our money and buy a nice watch. LOL@Financing a watch.

[Eagle]

Indeed. It is craftsmanship, history, quality, and style that goes behind a "nice" watch. There is nothing wrong with a $10 or $100 watch.

Exactly my POV. It has nothing to do with price or insecurity lol.

I know a lot of excellent craftsmenship goes into making a Patek, but they are to bland IMO. I've never ever seen one in person so I could be talking out of my ass, but from photos online..... it looks to 'old fashion' to me.

Just some knowledge for you guys that care about watch functionality...

Most companies use the same movements. The company that makes them is called ETA. From my reading only Oris and Patek modify these movements somewhat.

As someone mentioned, Seiko makes their own movements.

i mentioned that

new oris is starting to use sw movements (i guess its another ETA type of movement)

[jmb_nova]

http://www.sporttek.co.uk/BL8000_54L.jpg

[b9ev]

Here is some information about the movement inside the watch I am planing on getting.

AP own a 40% share in Jaeger LeCoultre and get most of their base movements from them, so it's no surprise that the Offshore is also JLC-powered. The official calibre number is 2126/2840, the number 2126 relates to the base movement, 2840 to the chronograph movement propped on top.

Calibre 2126 (2125 when it's not in a chronograph) is basically a JLC 889/1 running at 21'600 A/h instead of 28'800. It's an automatic, 26 mm in diameter, 3.25 mm high, has 33 jewels and a power reserve of 45 hours. I don't know the origin of the chrono module but I somehow doubt that JLC makes it, Dubois-Depraz or some other specialized company would be my guess. As far as I can tell, the module is exclusively for AP, I haven't seen it in watches by any other manufacturer.

Module-type chronograph calibres do have some disadvantages against classically constructed movements where the mechanics for the chronograph are fully integrated. First of all, watch-makers don't particularly like them because a lot more disassembling is required for a repair. Many also show a very annoying characteristic, the sweep second hand takes a jump of about 1/2 second when the chronograph is activated. Thankfully, the AP module starts and stops very smoothly without the jump. Also, due to the module being place on top of the base, the buttons and the crown aren't on the same line, on the Offshore the difference is hardly noticeable.

The finishing on the movement is AP-typically outstanding, all surfaces are either pearled or have Geneva stripes, the rotor is out of 21 K gold. (In case you're wondering, I didn't open it but have to rely on photographs)



The pricing is based in 1998 so it has increased since then.

watches don't have faces, they have dials.

the bond model is a very classy and mature watch. i own one.

however, if you want one with the white dial, try the seamaster gmt with white dial. it comes on the stainless bracelet, either the speedmaster style or traditional seamaster style.

i have a gmt with the black dial too. here's a shitty picture:
