Anyone handled one of these bad boys?
Haven't handled the chronographs but I have handled one of the enameled dial models and they are gorgeous in person. I really wish the three handers version with Roman numerals was 36-38mm rather than 40mm though.
Wew lads that was a close one. Had a shitter in my cart and everything and then I snapped out of it.
Keep saving up, you won’t regret it.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Why is Archie such a fucking cuck when it comes to TGV.
He mirrors, insults and parodises everything TGV does.
Wait where the fuck do you buy these? They are sold out everywhere
...
Really underwhelming when I saw it at a store.
Man I just want a sexy chronograph that won't bite my balls off in price/servicing
No speedmasters pls
I mean. It is a nice watch. But I just think the price is too high, atleast in my country. (SWE)
Yeah I'm in NL with taxes I'll pay roughly brand new 1500eur
They are practically non existent on the second market.
Its kinda like a type XX but with a column wheel
Should say, it REMINDS me of a type XX
>inb4 some autist here spergs out
I'm not arguing against the build quality of watches that are $2,000+, they're very clear just by wearing them, but why do shitters tend to be so much more stylish?
who of you made this thread?
So funny but so sad at the same time
>62773990
That is so fake its disgusting.
They need to appeal to more people I guess.
Nice one
FAKE
yeah i am basically too retarded to write my own name but i try to get by day to day.
what does Sup Forums think about the sarb033?
We love it.
holy fuck he has a zoomed in portion of his watch video int he beginning talking about the "horological excellence" of squale and the fucking seconds hand has the worst lume application i have ever seen.
wearing the 035 right now
I'm unironically selling mine since I find it a bit boring. I just got a Zeno Explorer which may be an inferior watch but brings me more joy and looks better imo.
Are you wearing that horrendous strap on your SARB ironically?
How do you know its fake
Is that on rubber what the fuck
how long until it gets removed?
Solid value, though not my taste personally.
How'd the Bonetto Cinturini strap shortening guide work out for you?
Good value, but a compromise on better Seikos since it's not really got anything to make it stand on its own. Hence, I got an Alpinist instead
FRESH OC
Pics from /wt/
I've been crtl+f'ing your comment among the latest ones but i dont
I gave it a giggle
>all those people in the comments sucking his cock
yikes
hehe
anyone else see that bad rolex fake at the end of the last thread? literally said "trying on my workmates new peice". i mean just look at this shit... looks like a 50$ bargain bin rep at best.
so what gave it away? yes it's a workmate's new 'watch'- she doesn't mind wearing such things.
would love to have the 35 one day but this is good for now
Cushion case today
If she's a girl I'll let it pass, is she cute? post pics.
fucking typo
sorry user she's a dyke who likes 'replicas'
Great daily watch.
Holy shit, tell her to kys herself already.
Got this guy today. My first divers. I want to get some new hands on it.
What the fuck did you take this picture with I can see your arm hair in too high of a quality.
Is there some not ugly as fuck quartz watch with light feature?
I tired of checking the time on my phone(I work night shift).
kek i told her i'd never be able to wear such things and i even told her to check out bagelsports instead since she so loved copies
I never wear mine anymore since I got a new daily, but it's a nice enough watch.
What is your new daily? Is it the GS quartz?
I chuckled even though you used my Sekonda.
I wash my hands alot and don't like bracelets because arm hair.
Dont know what that is. I just cut it with a scissor lol.
Galaxy S8.
Explorer. I did look at a few GS watches but this watch used cost less than hi-beat or spring drive Seikos and it caught my eye.
The SARB is now in a weird spot where I guess it's a little bit dressier but if I'm dressing up I'll wear my proper dress watch instead. I should probably sell it, I've just been too lazy to do it.
Consider it an honor my friend.
Loris for analog, pulsar for digital
Lorus*
nice upgrade
lol. markers are all fucked up, diamonds look like plastic, logo is off center and wrong shape , crown is too tall, "swiss made" text is too far away from 6, lume pips terrible inconsistant placement, endlinks dont fit. The finishng is wrong on the entire watch. i could go on but you get the picture that its really bad.
>Dont know what that is. I just cut it with a scissor lol.
Wait, you aren't the guy who was asking for a strap shortening guide for the 300D last thread? How the fuck did we go from zero Bonetto Cinturini 300D straps in /wt/ to three of them all at once?
The fluted bezel doesn't seem as sharp as on a genuine DJ either.
Checked
How do you find the Explorer bro?
Also how much did you pay and what year is it if you don't mind me asking
...
lol i don't know why people bother spending their hard earned money on these
its really fucking sad. It also tells you a lot about the person. Per example i really love driving. Its something i deeply enjoy. I watch car videos, read car magazines, I drive whenever i get a chance. i love cars. My goal is to get a manual Porsche 911 one day. If i put a Porsche badge on my car it would have nothing to do with my passion, it would take no work, it would mean nothing. The action would purely be for the benefit of another's perception. It shows how disgusting the person is and the shallowness of their character.
Because they're weak.
I laughed, notwithstanding being the middle pic.
honestly fake watches are such a scam. people are so desperate to pose like they are high class and rich and it just comes off as being retarded.
What other divers have the same hardcore tool watch aesthetic as the Omega Ploprof or the Seiko Tuna?
other ugly ones?
Its not a bonetto cinturini, just some chinese rubber strap i think.
But yeah that's not me.
>What other divers have the same hardcore tool watch aesthetic as the Omega Ploprof or the Seiko Tuna?
Jesus christ hopefully nothing. why not just lube up and shove a G-shock up your ass instead
Bobswatches for a little over $4000 in really excellent condition with box and papers. It's an early 2000 P serial which I guess makes it a really early 114270. It great, beautiful watch I like it a lot.
Post your holy grail.
I see it's pleb day on /wt/.
Frogman
GST-W110-1AJF
Rolex Deepsea if you're a wristlet
>h-h-hey guys anyone know of watches with this hardcore retard asthetic like the rolex leopard print or hublot?
Nice try m8.
What did he mean by this?
lmao
SNK Supersize
What watches are you buying, fellow astronauts?
Do you know what the term grail implies? It an object you working to attain that it for all intents and purposes unobtainable. You can fucking buy that watch on ebay right now for 350 dollars.
>Diesel 5
...
holy fuck they don't even try anymore. Parnis and fake Rolex wathces have better lume application than this.
i appreciate people using my meme
i live in Venezuela, so yes, the grail term is appropiate to me.
god that is just a nice object isn't it.
holy fuk sorry bro
where is that chinkshit chart everyone posts every time someone asks this question?
dont worry, i have a trusty casio a168 with me so all is well. apart from casio, seiko and timex, which other brands are worth getting under 50-100$?
...
IF THE LUGS DON'T OVERHANG YOU ARE NOT A MAN.
It's pretty much the simplest possible time-only small watch with no special stuff but it's just executed so well and finished to a really high standard. I don't know why the Explorer I is so much less popular than the other Rolexes.
>hardcore tool watch aesthetic
A true tool watch aesthetic is functional, not decorative. Since there is no practical use for tool watch divers capable of going more than 200m down, the Tudor in-house Pelagos is a much more functional tool watch than that ghastly money grab by Swatch.
