Spooky Pinball, 2020Quoted from herbertbsharp:I just got this cool tactical G-Shock today, but damn, this thing is big. I feel like I'm wearing a microwave! And I tend to like larger watches. I didn't read the specs and thought it was smaller. It will be good for wearing outside of gloves or other layers though.
Or do you just have a TINY wrist 
What size is it?

Seiko is now releasing the new version Orange Samurai (Seiko Men's SRPB97 Prospex Japanese Automatic Stainless Steel Dive Watch) through Amazon exclusively (for now). I think it looks great and is a lot of watch for the money. It comes with both a steel bracelet and a silicone band if purchased in this preorder. They start shipping November 13th. Yep, I'm in!
Quoted from dothedoo:You had one job... I mean, who doesn't like a nice wath?
lol What would you expect with all those fine Molex and Rag Heuer wathes!

I love the little....."plus tax".
I received this Rec 901 in the mail yesterday. It was funded by a kickstarter. The watch is made from the metal of a wrecked Porsche 911. It incorporates many design cues from the 911. It also has the VIN of the car the metal came from on the side. The back looks like a fuchs wheel.

Interesting piece. For the price I feel like they could have done more with the movement (like a top grade ETA) and had dual sapphire crystals instead of just the top one and maybe a little more water resistance. Still...it's a unique concept and I'm sure it will have its fans.

I agree. I don't think I would buy one at the asking price. I paid $700 less on kickstarter and received two xtra leather bands.

They're pretty nice and fairly rare.

Yeah, $1,695 is a bit much....
Actually the ones made from the Mini's are pretty neat, i think those look better. But the Mustang ones take the cake for me
Quoted from cdnpinballer:Because of this thread I became motivated to dust off one of my old timepieces and have it repaired. Working like a champ (for now).
Great looking Bulova! Those strike a chord with me. My father, who passed away 6 months ago, still had his Bulova he received as a graduation gift from High School. It is not worth much monetarily, but is the single most prized possession in my collection.
Amazon has had some slick deals the last couple days that seem like good deals, but I really only know enough to end up getting screwed. Are there any specific things to avoid when looking for a lower end automatic?
The Bulova was about the same price yesterday ~$275

Usually with lower end autos you are enjoying a price advantage due to the name brand of the company, the movement, and often a cheaper bracelet. That being said, there are some great deals out there for fantastic Autos. For the most part, Seiko makes one of the best low end automatics. I would hesitate to call it "low end" even. As long as you don't mind a non-swiss movement, they are a great choice. There are collectors out there who only collect Seikos, especially Japanese market ones, and you could do a lot worse.

Thanks. I generally see "quartz movement" or "Japanese quartz movement." I'm assuming that means "cheap, generic movement." Are there any keywords to look for to know you're not getting a junk movement, or are those generally ok for a starter automatic?

I'd suggest reading up some on it before you pull the trigger, but here is a quick run down.
There are two types of watches. Quartz and Automatic.
Quartz: Extremely accurate, battery operated, newer tech, robust and bomb proof.
Automatic: Contain a "movement" that is spring wound with tiny parts that often are shown through a window on the front or back of a watch. They must be serviced and cared for, and are the main target of collectors. They are not as accurate, often losing seconds per day, they are fragile (compared to a quartz watch) and they have a soul. They are either wound through kinetic movement (the swinging of your arm) or by hand winding and sometimes both.
I would encourage anyone who is looking to start a collection by finding an Automatic by Seiko. It will outlast you and it is something you can proudly give to your kids. Quartz watches are nice, I have a few in my collection, but it is the equivilant of comparing a true pin to say a virtual screen version. Different animal. That being said, despite some high end Autos, the watch that gets the most wrist time on my wrist? A casio G Shock. I would never wear it to dinner or social function though. But they are great watches.

Check out Tissot and Invicta as well for an entry level automatic.
Great info, thanks guys. Like I said, know enough to get screwed (not much!). Understanding Quartz now, I'm just surprised they're going to put an MSRP of $800 on one of those.
These two things seem to not go together!
-Japanese quartz movement with analog display
-Features automatic timekeeping for perfect accuracy

Yep. I wouldn't pay 800 for a quartz movement. Depending on your taste and style you are after, the SKX line of Seiko, as you could get 4 of them and watch guys, at least those lacking pretentious ways, will be envious. Tissot, as mentioned above, has a bit more panache, but you will pay for it. Myself, I'd avoid Invicta. Read up on them and good luck hunting. It's fun. Dan Henry has some of the coolest quartz watches around. They look like autos and are nods to famous watches of the past. I own two and they are the best quartz watches I have owned.
Quoted from gliebig:Some of mine
Nice watches Glie. Breitling definitely makes some great timepieces...have two of them myself. Dove into horology pretty hardcore for a brief period.

Thanks. I'm not really into them anymore. I keep going back and forth about selling a few and getting a new pin or two.

Seiko Men's SNK809 Seiko 5 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch with Black Canvas Strap
$50? 
Too many posts are straying from the topic of *Pinball* and Watches. Lots of nice watches, but you need to work them into a picture somehow with a pinball machine too.
One by itself is nice, but lets see them blended together in perfect harmony. Sort of like a nice chateau palmer margaux with a juicy wagyu steak.

That's a really small watch at 36mm. I have tiny wrists (6.5") and I generally wear watches from 39-44mm

This is a better Seiko auto to start with (IMHO):

Always something... I have small wrists too and I think most of mine are 42mm.

I like that model with the day/date.
Quoted from yfz450:My prize possession that my dad left to me. WW2 Vet and still going strong!
That watch is great, the story and prominence of it is Priceless!! I would cherish that forever!

This watch means the world to me as does my father.
Quoted from Yelobird:You caught my interest Astropin! I thought I was the only one on this forum flying a drone as a second addiction hobby. What do you have and do you like it? I am flying a DJI Mavic Pro and loving it so far. Easy to control and pushing it 6 miles round trip seems great so far while filming in 4k. At least drones get me out of the dark basement and into the sun for part of the day! Here's a picture of my watch to stay on topic. lol Omega Speedmaster. There is No substitute!!!! Classic and reliable!
That Speedmaster is awesome. A classic watch. Love the look. Wear it in good health.
