This thread is about the appreciation of horology, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

wtf is that?
For many years dominos pizza had an internal policy of awarding a rolex to office staff who had either been there 25 years or had completed a certain amount of deals. I forget which.
Either way, it's an award.
You see them for sale. Don't know who buys them.
dominos air king senpai
a dominos rolex of course, as a reward for managing staff
the more recent one have the logo on the strap.
more companies have done thazt as well.
I mean, that's a great reward. But who would actually wear that with the dominoes logo on it?
people who earned it
>But who would actually wear that with the dominoes logo on it?
Someone who worked hard to get the award I guess.
They litter the net, and are (or should be) cheaper than an unmarked dial because, like I said, who would want to buy one of these 2nd hand? On the stores I look at, these things sit there for years and years in inventory, same with those gulf arab crest rolexes.
I just looked on ebay and they only have the Domino's logo on the bracelet and case back. Are those fake?
>tfw only way to afford a rolex
The article user linked shows that they abandoned the dial decal for bracelet icons. Dunno about casebacks.
2016 Datejust 36mm so it has the 3135 movement.
I am waiting for this to come out. I like the look of it, and unlike some of the other prospex divers it isnt too big.
I would unironically buy it, put it on a NATO and wear it ironically.
>le ironically being unironically ironic

I appreciate the user who was randomly posting nice pictures of watches in the last thread.
>Existing within a single layer of irony
Daily reminder that mechanical watches are just jewelry for trannies. These watches can't keep proper time, have abysmal power reserve and might break if you clap too hard. And don't forget the necessary 'servicing' to keep them fuckers spinning.
Do pahtek have the best ads?
>beautiful parents
>photogenic future-model kids
>pulling heartstrings for that "muh heirloom" spiel
Nothing about the technical achievements or accuracy, just fluff.
...
I must admit I admire whoever came up with is ad campaign of theirs. It must have been super effective.
Too bad the watches are now riddled with technical and quality issues lol.
Historical "shitter".

But why?

Torn between that and the black transocean.

Why do normalfags love Daniel Wellington watches so much? Literally the apple of watches
>Literally the apple of watches
that would be the apple watch
marketing
LOL
You would probably miss the meeting because the mechshit failed to keep proper time or lost power because to forgot to wear it for a day.
I personally hate it.
>durr hurr you never own what you bought
love that desu
Had it on the wrist at a local store, I really love the proportions of the bracelet.
Though I really hope Seiko releases a rubber strap or something.
Or someone figures out a way to use nato straps.
Some people like things some of us don't like
>buy it
>get it checked
>paypal dispute
>keep the fake and get your money back
>strip the fake and learn horology
>Car & Truck Parts>Transmission & Drivetrain>Differentials & Parts
That actually sounds like a reasonable idea.
>all i wanted was a rollie rollie with a dab of ranch
Where do I buy a thick 2-piece nylon watch strap in Europe that isn't flimsy shit?
Something like this guy has on the top right watch.
Just assuming that is Nylon.
Feel free to correct me.
my daily work watch
I use the chronograph to time how long i take a dump for at the office. I try to finish before the 5 min mark. anything over 5 mins people start to get suspicious and know you are taking a dump.
anyway, all of my watches are timex. I love timex. Eventually I want to get a nicer more expensive watch, but for now my small timex collection are my dependable buddies.
you should get a vintage mechanical timex
>he cares about what people would think if he poops
user, plz
>people start to get suspicious and know you are taking a dump.
I have a cheap timex expedition, picked it up for 50€. Love the look of it. The only thing that bothers me is that the seconds pointer is abit off.
any recommendations?
i'v never seen mechanical timex when I shop around.
heres my most expensive timex. I really like how it looks.
Yes I have experience this as well in a couple of my timex. My autism goes off the charts I wish i can open it up and fix it but I know i'll end up ruining it.
they don't make any mechanical ones anymore. an user here has an old camper.

Very cool, user.
Watch Band Center has a big selection and is in Germany. Pay attention especially for the EULIT canvas straps.
Everybody poops, didn't you learn that in kindergarten?
Can't find any canvas straps by Eulit for 18mm lugs.
Only perlon and leather stuff.
Thanks anyway!
>I mean, that's a great reward. But who would actually wear that with the dominoes logo on it?
As other user said, people who earned it.
But even I would wear one as I don't think there's any "shame" in having a Domino's logo on the watch considering it's a factory Rolex dial, and I think it would be a fun conversation piece.
Yeah it's a little tacky but I view it more on the side of interesting and unique.
>tfw no $210 sub
Forgot to mention I want a light grey one like in the original picture I posted.
>tfw no $1 pocket watch
...
What kind of reward is that?
>Hey you made $50,000 in sales in one week so we got you a shitter

Thinking of buying me a watch to celebrate being debt free. Thinking of either Kobold or Niall. Yeah off brands but I like them. Any thoughts?
...
No wonder so many tumblr-tier faggots at /fa/ love them. Then again, /fa/ is a tumblr colony and has the highest concentration of women than any other board on this site. Women are worse shitposters than phoneposters (they might just be the same).

even bvlgari is better than this shit

Ah ok. So you don't know where Nialls are made. How about this one?
...
"Made in USA" "Swiss movement" aka parts made in china and one screw added in the USA
Go ahead, it's not my money.
Here I was looking for someone who actually has experience with watches and instead it's just larping faggots pretending to own a Rolex collection.
Fine, I'll spend $1800.- on hookers or a new receiver.

The watches were awarded to general managers if their stores mainained very high sales and 5 star inspection rating for 3 months straight. I forget the dollar amount, it was high but obtainable.higher volume store managers got theirs if they really put their mind to in, lower volume stores had a tough time with it.
Nobody really wore them in public, they are tacky. But corporate level management wore them when they visited stores and performed the inspections. They are also worn at some business functions. Its a status symbol.

I really want to enjoy that picture.

I'm going on a cross continent trip for a couple of months and will be taking my old dw5600e with me, but I'll be leaving the other dw5600e that I recently bought, home. If I wanted to make sure the battery wont leak while its in my drawer for two months, can i simply take out the battery and leave it unpowered? Nothing is going to happen, right?
why would i spend an entire months salary on a watch?
3, but go to EBay where it's $325.
Dude, the battery won't leak. It doesn't care that it's in a drawer. To the battery, it's the same as being on your wrist. You'll be fine.
