Great if you're going for a soviet liberator look.
Is there a way to tell with 100% certainty this is radioactive or not?
Geiger counter.
I think that finding a watchmaker who'll service a landeron 48 for a reasonable price is a bigger problem.
Where can i get one
Amazon.
The hour and minute hands have heavily patina'd radium paint between the metal. Zinc sulfide, the base material that does the glowing in radioactive paint, has a distinct change of color that goes to orange-brown with enough time.
It's definitely radioactive.
Sweet thanks
I'm gonna buy this one.
I love the look and they pretty cheap too. Too bad the band isn't metal tho
First for assembling your own watch.
Im really tempted.
pls dont
Why? Coz they black? Are you racist, white boy?
I don't want any of that silver or golden shit, it's visually appalling to me
> pretty cheap too
I'm shocked. I'd never have know unless you told us.
is this ok?
You wouldn't because they sell pretty visually similar watches also which cost up to two grand or more
mfw I am waiting for my SNE437 to come in the mail
blame the chinks
your funeral Jamal,I warned you.
what kind of bait even is this?
...
Absolutely disgusting.
Then show me a better watch that isn't in lame silver color and costs less than $200

Looks like a fake kid toy watch, toss it at the nearest hobo immediately

My current setup.
I hope this thread isn't too drenched in elitist asshattery appreciate my style.

not so fast schlomo

where?
it gave incurable medical condition
I do believe it is a quality watch but alas, it looks absolutely horrible
What the fuck just happened. The last thread was going so well:( i hate the summer
How about this one? More pricey but also looks pretty
Nobody has used watches since 2000 unless they're old or douches.
Fuck off with these shithreads.

How long does that glow thing last on analog watches? I often wake up at like 4am and want to check time in pitch black without melting my eyes with a lamp
My prime day purchase. Not bad value, it'll hold me over until I decide I want a speedmaster.
Some fun history, when the Americans were planning for their moon mission, Bulova and Omega were competing for standard adoption of their watches from the Astronauts. While Omega won and became widely known for the moon watch, another one of the astronauts decided he liked the American branded Bulova better. He proceeded to wear the Bulova on the moon to little public recognition. This watch is the limited edition recreation of the Bulova moon watch, built to NASA's specs, hence the similar features to the Speedmaster. It has an ultra high frequency quartz movement, rated at
Does the second hand sweep?
Depends on the watch and how much sunlight you give it. When I go camping my SKX lasts easily all through the night until morning, but Seiko divers are known for having some of the best lume anywhere. Some of my other watches would definitely not last that long.
Not perfectly smoothly like the regular Precisionist movements, but 2 or 3 times per second. The chronograph sweeps the entire time.
I have a watch with the same movement, running seconds ticks at 2 Hz, chrono seconds are 8 times a second
What do we think of the SRPA27K1 for a daily beater?
Out of curiosity, how long did a battery last in this movement for you?
You'll be so lucky to get
Well I have tested my Bulova Accutron II with the UHF movement and 16 Hz secund hands by syncing it up to one of my atomic citizen watches promptly after the citizen finished syncing with the atomic time. Now we're about 5 months with >3 seconds of variation, so I'm quite happy with that.
I've only had mine about 8 months, so I don't know yet. I would presume with the small hand ticking twice a second only it would have significantly longer life than a regular accutron II as long as you don't go nuts on the chrono.
Hey guys, just wanted to share a pic from my latest diving expedition! The bezel was super useful for timing!

First for $50k stash hidden in my gentry manchild's cave
Not defending urban faggot, but has it ever occurred to you that its shopped?
Just got done cooking 3 lbs. of Bacon, you want me to clean between each set in the pan?

bro
Someones gonna talk shit no matter what you post m8.. don't pay attention.
dont be so dense
2 late Satan
that guy may actually be a genius.
Thoughts on the orient mako II?
good value for money . I can't decide between MakoII and RayII.. both are really nice. I prefer them to the seiko divers because they don't look like absolute shit but the lume on them is not as good and they are not actually iso rated but i doubt you are diving with it anyway so its what i would go for.
Looks like they made it out of carbon fiber
I know, it looks great, i love carbon fiber look
>order DW-5600E
>realize RIGHT NOW that I could have gotten a Mudman for not much more
Sweet, wife is buying me a new watch for our anniversary, and I wanted something nice but not crazy expensive
Honestly who gives a fuck? pull your head out of your ass.. its a fucking gshock. The one you got looks better anyway.
What do you guys think of my new submariner?
nice
Greek/10
The extra protection of the buttons does seem like a plus, Mr. Coolguy.
Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne
I recommend the Time Factors nylon deployment clasp strap.
It goes well with nearly all of my watches.
Quite comfortable as well.
thiccccc
"Tonight. You."
fucking faggot, you have your twink bf take this pic?
kys
...
This is what /wt/ is about.
lol
what was it guys desu?
Im sorry man they are cool for what they are i have one.. but im honestly annoyed by how many people are buying these thanks to the fucking shill cuck tgv. The mudman is wayyy too fucking big and ugly anyway. You dodged a bullet desu.
An Invicta on the ass cheek of a very hairy man.
I'd like a beater Day Date. Unfortunately I can't find pic related here anywhere (Germany) and Amazon only has the ones with the fake jewel dial for 300+€ which seems a bit steep for a watch that should cost less than half that.
What to buy?
thoughts?
This would look great without all the bullshit on the dial
Its actually required to be on the watch as part of the mil spec it has to meet. This is one of the reasons I find the watch interesting to begin with. it is also Iso certified has an sw200 movement tritium tubes and saphire crystal. It is around 650 dollar however . Curious to know if there are other watches you would purchase over this at that price excluding Seikos.
/wt/ convince me why buuying a Rolex 116410 is a bad idea
That looks super cheap.
Every asshole has one, but I suppose it's popular for a reason. I just find it incredibly boring looking. If I wanted a black dialed rolex it'd be an 114270.
Guys, my watch lose a few minutes when changing into new date, should i get it service? Not by much, properly -3 minutes
The minute markings on the bezel stop at 15. The cyclops is ugly.
There is no 116410. I'm guessing that one in the photo is an early 14060 based on the tritium lume and two-line dial, is that what you mean? The 14060 is the last great classic Sub, it's the one I would pick if I wanted a Sub. It has modern features like a sapphire crystal and 3000 or 3130 movement, but the drilled lugs and aluminum bezel. It's cheap and common and elegant while also being the last Sub that you can really call a tool watch. It's the size and shape that God intended the Submariner to be, not the overgrown bloated maxi case modern Sub. And there's no ugly date on it.
>114270
I second this
114060-0002 isnt bad. Only thing is its very expensive for what it is.
Fuck you're right. I meant 114060
No date with ceramic bezel in simpler terms.
>114270
The only thing i don't like about it is no tritium, i want some patina damnit
Nobody uses a watch for functionality anymore.
Find yourself a 1016 then, I'm sure it won't be too expensive :^)
:(
This is the 114060. It looks completely different from the one you posted. I think it's really ugly, but I can't fault it on anything but aesthetics. It's still a very high quality extremely well made watch I guess.
Yeah make sure you get the pre double t gilt dial one as well.
