Nice watch, fatty.

>Title
Thank you friendo.

Sumo is kinda meh with the camel toe and garbage tier insert. Shogun if anything.

Though it's either a SARG005 or a SARX015.

...

This.

>tfw so many good watches
>tfw don't have György Soros money

post what you're wearing faggots! no cheating, if you are a naked wristed hooomo still gotta post.

>spacing out today

Anybody know what bezel this is? I can't seem to find it online

This one:
meranom.com/amphibian-classic/spare-parts/vostok-amphibia-black-bezel.html

You're in luck that it's still available. It's pretty good, only two real downsides:
>snapping it on the watch was pretty fucking hard
>lume pip is symbolic at best

Also available in blue and green.

Since i'm finally home and got rid of the perloned F91.

Poljot and beret.

There we go famalam.

Should be a pretty hefty stock since they are home made this time.

Thanks boys. Definitely getting one. The vostok looks gr8 with it on

Penis quartz.

Could b worse

This is now one of the comfiest watches I own.

my new baby

Try 17. It is very much a poorfag collection though.

I'm currently at work wearing

Shame you didn't go for the proper clone or a real one to boot. 3133 at least.

The Tachymeter ring and text looks off, so is the date.

And the back

>17 poorfag watches
Why do this? With their combined cost you could have gotten a few good watches that you can wear regularly (and have decent resale value of you want to trade), instead of a bloated collection that mostly sits in your drawer, too shitty to even use as home decor.

How should I wear the SARB033, a little bit too thight or a little bit too loose? The single microadjust is shit and I gotta do with one of the two solutions.

anybody got a Seiko 007?
thinking about getting one.. seems pretty operator

*tight

I've had one for a while, might even get another one again.

They are alright, but a new bracelet and or strap are a must.

why wouldn't this be a real one? the angle of the picture just sucks.
it's this one strela-watch.de/product/co42cyb/

number 097 with a real 3133 with blued screws. the watch comes from julian kampmann, i think a very reputable seller.

It's not a real Strela nor is it like the rest of the slightly better clones with the better date window placement and Tachy text. Julian is well known though, no issues with that.

A real Sterla would have the 3017 movement.

With a dress watch, you want to wear it tight enough that it won't move on its own, but loose enough that you can shake it out of your sleeve to look at the time. Follow the pinky rule (you can slip your pinky under the strap).

so which ones are you referring to, the 38mm variants? this is a 42mm one.

Meh, that solution might work for people that don't have bitchwrists, for us enough space to let a pinky through is a huge amount of space.

mah nig. how long it take you to find that?

Yeah, those that are closer to the original.

But if that's a 42mm gimme a wrist pic. I haven't seen one in the wild.

and obviously it's a remake of the original, but it does have a 3133 movement. and what's wrong with the date window? where should it be then? they're always in that position

here, shitty pic because it's pretty dark in here so phone has difficulty to focus

Had pic related (GW-M5610-1ER) for about a month now and I love it, it feels nice knowing it's built to survive plus solar power is nice my one concern is I read the batteries last a decade, in a decades time will I be able to get the battery replaced at a watch shop or will I have to hope the watch is still in production?

and a pic of the lume

Also if you're wondering why I went digital my dad used to wear them when I was a kid and when i had nightmares he'd let me use there light as a sort of mini night light so I prefer digital

I was looking around for a few months and I saw a listing for $300 on ebay. I made an offer for $140 and the seller accepted. I have been looking for another one for a friend of mine, but they usually sell for more than that, and I have not seen many on ebay recently.

...

Muh dick

just checked mine and I'm synced to the second even though I never synced up the seconds, pretty cool

...

Why are these Pulsar digitals so popular in these threads?

What's so special about it? Just looks like a standard digital display with radio synch.

...

especially in that condition. looks great.
i was debating between a railroad and a spaceview for months before I pulled the trigger.
214 movement?

It doesn't have "radio sync". It's really only popular because of the steel case and it's low price. I just wanted a cheap digital that didn't look like shit and had "standard" lugs.

I have a 218 movement because it has a date window. I may get a spaceview eventually, I love the way yours looks.

dang

nice, what model?

thanks.

>nice
>thanks
Why do people feel the need to thank someone that compliments an object? It's not like I made it, I simply bought it. When they tell me that I always reply with a "yeah", continuing with a "that's exactly why I bought it, genius" in my mind.

Maybe I'm just autistic but this is something that bothers me a lot.

They're complementing your taste m8.

You sound like a likable guy user. Also >55321680

I like things that are good, in the first place.
You seem like someone desperate for low quality human relationships.

>You seem like someone desperate for low quality human relationships.

Yap

go outside user.

back on track.

The neckbeards trying to hit each other with their fat sacks are getting annoying by now aren't they?

Go outside and get your G-shock properly used.

nice.

Yeah, you do.
I work everyday.
But yeah, human beings mostly disgust me. Especially their stupidity and the vanity of their behaviours, I can't stand being in a crowd unless I'm drunk.

sup

go start a blog and stop shitting up this thread please.

>But yeah, human beings mostly disgust me. Especially their stupidity and the vanity of their behaviours, I can't stand being in a crowd unless I'm drunk.

The world is not black or white, normalfag.

Holy shit, just grow up already.

Are you retarded? You're the one who should "grow up".

In all seriousness, you know exactly what you are doing....
You start to derail this thread with bellyaching about your misanthropy knowing that you will get shit on. That way you are justified in staying resentful that "nobody understands me" & "humans are disgusting." It's pathetic, please stop.

Yeah, of course I do because I'm used to the reaction of people.and yet I can't help but still expect some reason from them.
You don't like blogposting? Fine, then tell people like to fuck off as well, otherwise it's clear you're just butthurt because you don't like what one person says.

I dropped my automatic Seiko 5 SNK809 and now it is getting ahead like 1 minute a day, how can I fix that?

I used to think that Seamasters are way too sleek looking for a tool watch, but they're starting to grow on me.

Please stop falling for the obvious bait. Leave the autist alone and discuss watches.

but this thread is about the appreciation of watches. your contributions to this thread are off topic and selfish. please stop, there are boards on Sup Forums that would be more appropriate for you.
If you don't like what someone says or does in this thread, disengage and leave. it's time to be an adult and take responsibility for yourself. please respect the topic of the threads you choose to post in.

and the crown at 4 o'clock. should have realized it was a 218.

yeah, there's a few different styles of spaceviews. but this is by far my favorite. setting it is a slight bitch, but very much worth it.

ur being a faggot too. not as much, but still. see below

this. just this.

>If you don't like what someone says or does in this thread, disengage and leave
>it's time to be an adult and take responsibility for yourself
No, seriously, did you just write that?

I initially commented on something that was posted but yeah, enough with the off-topic.

it's a watchthread, your post had nothing to do with watches. gtfo

enjoy that coaxial movement failiure

I already responded to this.

Have you killed yourself yet?

I recall reading that some of the earlier co-axial movements had a few issues. Not enough to be concerned. Mine has been running perfectly for years.

yes i did

ok thanks

Hey guys. What a nice thread you've made

Never.

>criticizes the quality of a thread while tripfagging

Gmt Master II or polar Explorer II as next watch?

Polar Explorer looks like a 12-year old tier watch. Batman bezel'd stainless steel GMT master is a nice choice.

Or get either a chronograph or a vintage JDM watch.

A few of them were gifts or watches I had owned for years but found in a drawer as I recently got into watches 'properly'.

When I get some cash together I plan on paring my collection down to just 3 or 4 watches to wear in a rotation. Starting with a Sarx015 with next months wages, then eventually a Tudor Black Bay or Rolex Explorer 1.

I've got a 009 and it's a very nice watch. Get a strap code bracelet for it though as the standard one is a bit shitty.

Here's my mildly modded SKX.

I said it's nice. Can't you even read?

>not disabling names clientside to maintain the purity of an anonymous image board

>Based 5216 running three seconds slow after four days

Who needs co-axials

You're back, Jewboy? How was the army, or wherever you were?

I don't think natural failure of the movement, assuming it has been serviced properly, is a concern. I think the onerous servicing requirements themselves are the concern.

Tiresome, but otherwise i can't say much. As per usual it gets easier the more you advance in it. Counting that i'm going to spend quite a bit on JDM Seiko parts and straps real soon. Assuming i can find a new crystal or make do with an acrylic one.

Also Green LM special is working surprisingly well despite being very dirty inside. Beat to shit and needs a proper cleaning and likely a new stem or keyless works gear but still does +15 secs per day.

I want to get a 5216 but they won't appear on eBay. How the fuck do I buy from Yahoo A?

this thing is N E A T

maybe i'll buy one used sometime in the future

What a gentle pussy.

Stupid question but do you guys think I could shower with this thing? I know it's WR up to 100m but it's hard to have that much faith in a $28 watch.
