>"the Sinn is a better Navitimer than the modern-day Breitling"
or
>"the Sinn is a cheap homage to the Breitling Navitimer"
Keep the following in mind:
- Breitling went bust a few times and is no longer the same company
- Sinn is more true to the original sizing and tool watch philosophy of the watch than the Breitling
- Sinn actually did buy the rights to the Navitimer in the late 70s when the original Breitling, so it's in a sense a more legitimate heir and successor than modern-day Breitling
... or should I just get the Seiko flightmaster?
first for fucboi watches
suggest watches to help me bet the best fucboi i can be
All of them are 3busy5me. If you're really dead set on one of them get the sinn.
First tell me how many liters is 60 miles per hour?
>3busy5me
You should see them irl, the look really works.
no it does not, they all look like cheap dad mall watches
if you don't know how to use a slide rule and have no use for all that bullshit don't buy one or ur a poser
can you go kill yourself already?
>they all look like cheap dad mall watches
No they don't.
Hi Watch Thread! I'm new here, but thought you guys might like to see this. It's my collection! Let me know what you all think!
@60888379 those are expensive! Haha
...
Go shitpost on fa you faggot
>Uninterested and unable to compare the Breitling B01 to Sellita's 7750 knock-off on their technical merits
>Reduced to babbling about muh history muh authenticity
Fucking clueless nu/wt/ faggots need to leave. I fucking despise what these threads have been reduced to.
@60888633
@60888635
I guess you don't like my collection. But you don't have to be so mean :(
Please enlighten us user.
Y'know it could just as easily be that they've not looked into it because they don't care for slide rule watches?
This collection has been posted here before.
>Is that the fucking Razer watch
My question was indeed about the history and authenticity of the Sinn vs the Breitling, yes.
If you want to bring up the technical merits of the Breitling in-house movement as an argument, then do so by all means.
But don't pretend like that was what my post was about.
And fyi, Navitimers always used outsourced movements. This includes 7750s (to this day even).
They're beautiful, user.
The Breitling B01 is a mostly in-house column wheel, vertical clutch chronograph movement while the SW500 is a clone of the cam-actuated, horizontal clutch Valjoux 7750.
The B01 is a much better design, and should clearly lift the Breitling Navitimer over the SW500 powered Sinn version.
I love the Boss watch, it really shows you're a boss! haha
>first for fucboi watches
I like to fuck guys wearing watches made for little boy in an ironic way, like wearing a watch that comes with a happy meal
gets me rock hard
>>they all look like cheap dad mall watches
>No they don't.
from 3 feet away on your wrist yeah they do, they look like citizen navihawks or whatever they are called, they look like shit
also you don't know how to use a slide rule and if you did you have no use for it
and are thus a faggot for wearing one
My question is simply whether the Sinn is more than just an homage.
If technical merit was all I wanted (column wheel & vertical clutch), I'd save thousands and buy a Seiko.
So someone asked two threads ago how does a komandirskie timegraph look. This is face up.
wow fascinating
Rotary make a Navitimer homage.
what mic are you using? a guitar pickup or a standard mic?
I use my slide rule bezel for

Stay pleb.
I would hate to be as autistic as you are about something as dumb as a watch. Jesus fucking christ, go outside you sperg.
>how many northwests are in a kilometer?
>posting worst collection ever
>using @ to quote
2/10 as I replied
>>fuel consumption on road trips
sure you do
I use mine to make change because I am too fucking stupid to do it in my head
That's just the thing, the guy was expecting that they're probably some broken as fuck things. It's just a watch, it has normal readings if you don't hammer in nails with it.
One of those cheap $5 clips with a piezo mic. But I had to make a preamp for that.
I like the way it looks, and I'd use the shit out of a slide rule bezel.
When you get proficient, it's a lot faster than using a calculator for tons of things. And it's a lot quicker to get to than your calculator too, so it's faster in that regard as well.
>I like the way it looks
you should see if they can fit more shit on there for you
more lines and stuff, maybe another dial
Also, I had to make it a two stage preamp, meaning, the output of the schematic I linked you goes straight into another circuit like that. If you wanna build it ask here if you need anything.
This is crown down.
I have a pre amp already. I was also on the forum thread and the creator is somehow using a standard mic but i can't get anything i have to pick up the tick.
That seems like pretty low amplitude. Is it just that a lower number is normal for the slavmovements? I remember reading that old seikos having an amplitude of 250 degrees, give or take, was normal for them.
I had to up the wattage on mine when I added vacuum tubes, I flipped a 50 amp breaker last time I used it
fucking komandirskie still loses 10 seconds a day though
why don't you faggots just buy quartz watches if you want accuracy
I got myself a Tudor.
Does anyone have any tips on removing links from this type of bracelet?
I see it has tiny little screws. Can I just unscrew them?
Any real risks of me breaking anything?
Pic is random from the internet, but it's the same watch.
>Can I just unscrew them?
NO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T TRY THAT YOU WILL RUIN EVERYTHING
Just unscrew it carefully so you don't scratch it.
>Just unscrew it carefully so you don't scratch it.
HE'S GOING TO BUST HIS FLYWHEEL
I'd hit that
Aren't Tudor and Rolex bracelets quite similar?
I've heard that Rolex screws are coated in loctite and you're supposed to reapply it when screwing it back in.
I have a quartz. But I also want a slavshit.
He should send it back to tudor telling them how many links to remove so his girl wrist can be snug in his watch and pay them a few hundred to do it right or fuck his shit up alone
>I'd hit that
no she's my gf
That's far less interesting than a collection of springs and gears running +0 seconds total after 52 days.
Kill yourself, shitposter.
What is wrong with you?
Help
I need the cheapest mechanical (((tritium))) watch on the market
Maybe Marathon
Haha no, their shit is expensive as fuck.
aragonwatch.com
>45mm diameter
>17mm thick
YUGE.
Thanks for the answer user.
apple watch, the only guy I know who wears one is really gay
im sure he's a power bottom
You asked which was cheapest
>power bottom
God I love power bottoms
>tfw been trying to unload my Junghans Chronoscope for a very fair price but nobody wants it
Fine I'll keep it then.
OK Chairman
Ill take for $900
That's how much I had it on eBay for user.
Fuckers kept offering $300 or $400 for it.
I wouldn't pay more than 350 for one of those shitters
How much would you realistically pay for a nomos tangente 35mm
looking for cheap, attractive russian watch for cheeki breeki and camping. not a fan of huge diver bezels, would prefer something with a smaller bezel, but at the very least water resistant (ie: on my wrist if I reach my hand down into a river, not diving 200m under the sea). used is totally ok
suggestions?
Considering the in house movement, no more than $1k. Though the simple, flat case & lugs are a turnoff, so really the answer is I wouldn't pay anything.
Buy an amphibia the bezels are not that big.
For all things vostok meranom.com
I hope your camping trip isn't within 4 weeks because lmao shipping from Russia
Thanks for the encouragement and advice. Proud owner of my first auto. Will be selling my Timex expedition that didn't fit me. Wouldn't have known if I hadn't posted here.
no he didn't lol
Do not buy Russian.. they are shit. get a fucking orient diver
looking to spend $20, not $150. i want some cheap piece of shit that's rock solid and keeps time within a reasonable margin. keep in mind this watch will get the hell beato ut of it
Forgot pic
You are not getting an amphibian for 20 dollars the classic shitter is at least 65 direct from russia.
Isn't that a 36mm watch ?
How small are you?
the watches (minus band) are $10-30 all day used on ebay. i'll probably stick a NATO nylon strap on it or something.
Holy fuck and I thought I was a wristlet. That has to be a 5.75 inch wrist.
go ahead and link them buddy.
oh like this ?
komandirskie's are 35 shipped from meranom and amphibia's are 65 shipped factory new.. You want to spend on average 40-60 dollars on a destroyed used russian shitter? are you literally retarded?
25, 177cm, 60kg
Used to be 55kg
but the shipping is free
5'10 132 pounds? Are you a women or a holocaust victim? I'm 5'8 and before i started lifting i was a twig at 145...
Can /wt/ tell me anything about this watch I inherited from my grandma?
Set the time on it to 3:48 and post of a pic of the dial.
Get a brand new one if you want waterproof and not already beat to shit.
I don't have the watch here with me, but here is a pic of the dial.
Convenient excuse. Even ignoring that, there are details that don't line up with any vintage calatrava I've been able to find.
>gold case, blued hands
>misaligned 12 marker
>painted indices which don't match any other calatrava
>seconds hand looks wrong
I could go on. So ostensibly it's a patek calatrava, but I doubt it's real.
>mfw I'm 6'3" and 135 pounds
people tell me I should model or something lmao
Is there a good resource for comparing G-Shock model features? The website kind of sucks, it'd be cool to have a chart to look at or something.
Is this worth it?
Price seems kinda steep to me...
>also you don't know how to use a slide rule and if you did you have no use for it
You just fucking triggered me
Slide rules are an absolute GOD SEND when taking exams, especially long 200+ question ones, since you can calculate how many questions you can get wrong before falling below an A.
Also a god-send for autistically calculating grades 24/7
>The B01 is a much better design, and should clearly lift the Breitling Navitimer over the SW500 powered Sinn version.
Nigga get the fuck outta here. I'd take the valjew any fucking day of the week just based on how much cheaper they are to service
>$25
>steep
Timex expedition
It's a strip of leather user
Really though, has anyone bought from strapsco?
Are they any good?
My shitty xperia always makes my arm look fat fug
>since you can calculate how many questions you can get wrong before falling below an A.
bruh what world you in where you aren't trying to get every question right.
"oh ho ho got a is 235 question test over here lemme break out the slide rule"
if youre taking a 200+ question test and somehow come to the conclusion that you need a special freakin watch to figure out 10% of that value you're literally retarded
getting secondhand buyers remorse just reading that shit
