lets talk watches

i think watch:wrist ratio is quite important.

[Ryan]

A yobokies modded seiko can be an option also

[arlee]

is this SRP029K going to dwarf my 6" girly wrist?

it's 42mm and 13.5mm. my heart says no, my head says yes. closest / cheapest alternative to the sinn 656 i can find. maybe i should just pay up and shut up..

I'd say 42mm on a 6" inch wrist is pushing it, it does have short lugs though so you may be able to pull it off. but yeah like Ryan said the other option would be a yokobies mod

or like you said just do it and get the real thing

i have a small wrist, i think this watch is around 2-3mm too big for me and the beefy bracelet and huge dial/small bezel combo exaggerates the size

i will provide as many wrist shots as i can:

far away aint that bad. + strap slims it down too.

broke college kid here, just starting to look for a watch. i'm trying to find something inexpensive (<$150, preferably <$100) that's lightweight, has a leather or fabric band, and doesn't have a huge display since my wrists are smallish

suggestions? i like the ll bean field watch someone posted on this page, trying to find other possible options

I was perusing through GQ tonight, a moreso recent issue, but I saw a page dedicated to black on black watches- a Timex was featured but I can't find it for the life of me, it looked pretty rad, especially at its price point ~$60. Can anyone help me out? Can't find it online through the respective websites...

Pretty much looks like an easy reader, but 100% black. On that note, any other suggestions for a black on black watch under $100?

this one?

[asher_roslynn]

^nope. It was straight up 100% black including the hands/numerals/case, pretty unorthodox for Timex I think. I want to say the model was like this, minus the metal band

[itzkoolkidkam]

Just got this:

fuck, i really want this! I never cared for it but its been growing on me lately.

Sorry for the shitty phone pic but that's the watch. I did a quick search through GQ's fashion directories but they don't have the August issue up yet. No avail on Google either. I'd love to know where to purchase as I just wanna get a better look at it. Pretty hypebeast though so I'm not sure I'd pick it up...

At least this is picture evidence to show I'm not crazy, haha.

nice for a 'low-end' offering from nomos. i'm even feeling the red/orange.

but fuck, still too expensive.

[duofold]

Nomos is beautiful, esp. this model. Almost bought on impulse at Midwest in Tokyo. Got Guidi instead...kind of regret.

[Ryan]

GQ says available in select Bloomies

[BBSLM]

those Seiko military watches are great choices if you want an automatic. however, since it isnt really a watch to be worn everyday, it may be a hassle to reset the clock every time you dont wear it for a few days.

For these style of watches, this Citizen is probably my favorite affordable one:

I have this watch. I like the design, the only problem is that it uses an 18mm strap, which limits your options for aftermarket ones.

[travisio]

hi everyone, i need help deciding on a cheap (<$250) diver-style watch. i really like the submariner style but i'm not necessarily looking for an exact replica of the style. this watch is pretty much just gonna hold me down for a year until i graduate at which point i think i'll probably invest in a "real" watch. i'm mainly just looking for something solid to wear everyday but i wear business attire roughly once a week so it has to be at least somewhat restrained.

these are my main options right now but i'm open to other suggestions:

Invicta 8926c

Seiko SKX007K2 (maybe w/ the oyster style bracelet instead)

is this too much to wear w/ a suit?

[arlee]

007 would be my choice

or can also add these 2 for you to consider

Orient Mako

Mako II

[travisio]

yeah, i think i'm gonna go w/ the 007. i saw those orients but something about them rubbed me the wrong way; just a personal preference.

unrelated: as a future mechancal engineer i need to own one of these at some point in my lifetime

[Ryan]

travisio:

I would go for the 007. I almost got the invicta myself but decided against it. too many details about it just bother me.

what is it that you like about the milgauss? that its "antimagnetic"?

B&R professional series is also anti magnetic along with some Sinns also.

[Ryan]

Guys..looking for suggestions for a womans watch. 36mm or smaller. . field watch style that isnt the jcrew timex

[travisio]

^yeah i went w/ the 007. i think i'm gonna buy an oyster bracelet at some point, not sure how i feel about the jubilee

i don't really have a concrete reason for wanting the milgauss. i was reading about the history of the milgauss and it was designed for people that work in powerplants, research labs, etc. which is where i may be working and it has a faraday cage (don't ask why but i really like faraday cages). it just seems like a really engineer-y watch and it also looks pretty boss.

[WhoGotMeIntoThis]

The Milgauss is one my favorite watches. Despite the kitschy second hand, it just feels solid on the wrist and I like some of the more subtle detailing.

Not to mention, everybody's rocking a sub or a variation of the sub these days and the Milgauss just does something a little different.

[ericdw]

nothing says subtle detailing like a lightning bolt second hand, lol

[Tim_Whatley]

anyone know any good online watch stores that ship to Canada?

also, why isn't the 007 on the seiko website, is in a discontinued model?

thanks

[aak]

my new watch
