The Watch Thread - Part 13

Orient star classic

I thought the classic base models are all mineral crystal though!

Beware of the thickness. I sold my blue LE version cos its too thick.

This is also below 500 I think

Yup you are right I would like a more complicated dial and yea the presage line is what I would buy only after I am entirely sure and my research is done. Anyway from my understanding Solvil et Titus movement is seagull right? What is the general sensing of it, is it durable or it is fancy and breaks... the design on the Titus is really nice. But I am worried about the movement as I been reading up on watchuseek and it isn't known other than East Asian region after the real Titus from Swiss got sold to HK. I know I should minimally get a seiko or orient as I wouldn't go wrong and they are workhorses from forums that I have read. So are Titus any good?

I don't own any watches with seagull movements so can't comment, whatever I've read is what you can find on watchuseek as well.

For first mechanical watch I suggest get something with a less complicated movement. Something with a power reserve indicator/day/date subdials will give you that busy dial look too.

Here's a search on watchsleuth for Seikos with PRI http://www.watchsleuth.com/seikosarfinder/search/?PRI[]=Yes

But it hasn't been updated for a few months so you don't see the one AyuReady recommended (Seiko Presage SSA303, I also think this is a chio option close to what you like and close to your price range).

Or maybe can consider open heart like SSA213.

Good evening,

Hi this is my first time asking question on HWZ i am looking for my first Automatic watch. I only owned Edifice and a Typical DW watch that you guys wouldn't even bother to have it.

Long story short I would like to purchase my very first automatic, Budget of $500 dollars. A few things i would like is a exhibition case back, saphire crystal and it looks classic and classy. Some reference to possible designs that i would like.

Background about me, I am age 21, Male and would like to own a automatic that has those criterias and look something like the links provided and also fits my budget i need help selecting a good first watch and a place to help me kickstart my hunt for one. Please recommend me thanks!

P.S i suddenly got intrigue into mechanical watches and the inner workings of watches that runs without battery by ways of manual winding and or automatic. I am bombarded with way too many brands. I need help to narrow it down. Seiko/orient seems to have all the criterias but the design isn't for my age range... and the one i like and put on the link cost 2k +...

$500 Swiss is hard
Up budget can get things like

As for your age and that titus watch I confuse your age style is what. I gather u like complications and sub dials

At this price range, the backside likely will look quite plain. Thus exhibition case back not really necessary, IMHO.

For a younger looking vipe :

If u are willing to up your budget to $800+

I sacrificed wearing one myself and bought for my gf instead (green is her fav colour)

Anyone wants to buy my FC worldtimer?

I've only worn it twice and the previous owner wore it 5 times. LNIB.

PM me if any interested parties. I will sell at a good price.

I am selling because I'm buying another worldtimer.
