Found this watch among my grandfather’s things. Planning to swap out the old leather band to keep it wearable. Seems to still be running fine after a few turns of the crown.

I’m very curious if anyone could assist with identification of this watch. The back is completely blank. Not sure how old it may be. Thanks!

I like this watch. It's fun! Cheap and cheerful. Couldn't stand the jangly Seiko 5 bracelet though so fitted it with a nato from 'esperit'. Can you believe this thing costed me less than two-hundred euros? Really nice clean look to that dial and I love the shape of the case. Happy Saturday.

I really like the small nimble-ness of watches. I wanted to know why (if they have proven capability) Cartier no longer make these medium versions of the Santos with a full date function?

Moreover, anyone lese prefer the date on the side rather than the bottom? I just feel the original smaller santos with the date on the side looks more aesthetically pleasing than the current version.

I just bought this Manero (John Wick). Felt in love with Carl F Bucherer watches when i saw an ad on facebook. I like the classic yet refined design. I’m waiting on the original black strap coming from the AD this week, why i chose to wear a brown one in the meantime. Totally in love with it.

Was invited into my buddies watch store and he had a great collection of watches. A lot of them being 100k+ but this $45k rose gold AP here stole my heart. I tried it on and absolutely fell in love. It is now my dream watch and I hope to earn it one day

Can’t decide if I like the look of rose gold or if it looks too “cheap”

This question isn’t necessarily specific to this particular watch. (Hope I don’t offend any owners of this particular piece.)

I’d like a blue band/blue face watch at some point in my collection and came across this Bulova auto. My first impression is that it’s a very nice looking watch and the rose gold colors against that deep royal blue face play very well together. A little gaudy maybe but nice. But the rose gold also reminds me of the ultra cheap $10 watches you’d see at Walmart or Apple Watches with rose gold bands and colors.

What’s yalls take on watches with rose gold accents in this quality/price range? Nice or “cheap” looking. At the end of the day a <$300 watch is kinda “cheap” compared to luxury watches. It’s not like im trying to impress anyone with my “big spender” $250 watch but I wouldn’t want anything that looks too cheap if that makes sense. Does the gaudiness out-kick the coverage of this price range? Lol

[Longines Hydroconquest Automatic, 41mm, in black]. I have had this watch for 14 years now, since I was 15. I was drooling over it for almost a year, got good grades and saved up so I could buy it. I wear it every day since, it has acquired great patina, I wear it even when I sleep or when I shower (don't get me started on people who think they will destroy a dive watch on shower) It has accompanied me my half life, on diving, hunting, auto servicing, mountain and road biking, I once dropped it on hard tile(I was changing natos) and destroyed the sapphire and the dial, also it needed a service, 400€ auch. Really amazing watch and I still enjoy it so many years after

My dad gave me this watch, passed down from his grandfather. I can not find any info on it from watch id apps, like chrono24. I suspect it is too old? I would love to know more details about it, it’s a great looking piece with cool family history.

Hi All, I just picked this up in a trade. It's funky, bit I like it. What's the general consensus on the Rado Diastar?

I just got a new job and I have to keep my phone in my locker (for data security and compliance). I've been meaning to invest in a quality watch for years, but this has made things a bit more urgent and I don't have the money to sink into something nice.

Where can I buy an affordable, simple yet sophisticated watch? I'd be willing to spend $100 for something decent quality. Small/medium businesses preferred, but I'll take what I can get. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Does anyone actually like Richard Milles? They’re really ugly imo and the prices are outrageous. For example, this model resells for almost $4,000,000 (20,800,000DKK without the VAT, 26,000,000 with the VAT which is 25%), and personally, if it didn’t have the brand name on it, I wouldn’t spend more than $10 on it (not that I’ll buy it anyways because I don’t really have $4,000,000 just laying around)

Also, thank you r/watches automoderater for telling me I should start the post with square brackets by deleting it and only telling me after, which made me have to rewrite this whole thing.

Great watch for the price. Compare to shinola etc.

Which do you prefer for a daily driver and why?

So i have an automatic mechanical seiko (spb121j1). I have no previous experience with these type of watches, cause i only owned a quartz casio for 5 years and im a bit confused.

At the precision it says: +25 to -15 seconds per day. Sooo does it mean:

1. Every single day the time should be between these numbers compared to the reference clock(my phone) i synced my seiko with?

OR

2. Every day the time it gains or loses should be between the numbers above, and after some times maybe days it goes bit further and further away from the reference clock's time until i have to resync it?
