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.
Previous Thread: () Whos up for a challenge /wt/? Get a cheap casio shitter and mod it with your own vision in mind. I'll give you a month to make this happen (DO NOT FORGET THIS POST).
Winner gets a Philippe Dufour Simplicity with Archieluxury's signature on the caseback.
Also we get some fresh oc content to these threads.

look at the horrible QC on this Rolex.
All swiss watches are a sham.

>mfw I went on a trip to Kiev, Ukraine, two months ago, had the chance to buy that clock for just 50€ at a shovietshit fleamarket but they didn't accept card and I didn't have any hryvnias left.

How much was yours? Mine cost me 9 dollars including shipping.
William Cox
is it fake? or is patek secretly just a shitter brand. hmmmmm.
Aaron Walker
110 € from bestwatches with shipping. You did interestingly well for 9 dollars kek.
Adrian Campbell
Is there something cheap like the F-91W that also counts the year and auto-adjust for leap years (and has better lighting?)
Grayson Green
Apparently there's a military coup against Mugabe in Bazinga. This reminded me of the Rhodesian military-issue Roamers.
What's an easily attainable military-issue watch, apart from the beat-to-shit disposable Nam plastic field watches.
John Thompson
I believe most modern Casio modules have a year feature. I don't have my B640 at hand right now but I think that has it too.
Anthony Torres
uhh are Patek day windows supposed to look this cheap
Mason Gray
CWC watches iirc the British still wear them
Carson Gray
Nice fake, w2c?
Caleb Ortiz
looks good for a fake.
Christopher Powell
Thanks.
Grayson Brooks
new swatch.
Tyler Gonzalez
Pretty spoopy/10.
Julian Rodriguez
its not a fake
William Lewis
i know. Its straight from the top of /r/watches. But for real there isnt anything wrong with it.
Tyler Young
Uhuh
Jose Robinson
as spoopy as this speletoon?

the hands are katanas, for fucks sake.
If you're that desperate for a watch that has a skull design, get a Mr Jones

I don't see a hilt

Always wanted that Citizen but brushed version. Unfortunately brushed version also comes with metal bracelet and I don't like those.
Justin Butler
then change the bracelet then
Alexander Baker
I always wanted such a casio watch, but the plastic case really ruins it for me. Are there watches like that with a metal casing?
Julian Green
Some of the Chinese homages have all metal cases, check AliExpress.
William Young
HATE having manlet wrists Would love to get a SKX007 but anything over 40 is really getting too big
Luke Edwards
aren't some of the russian clones full metal as well?
Camden Hernandez
skx013
Oliver Murphy
thanks!
Christopher Cox
Thoughts on this watch? I'm looking to upgrade from f-91w to something better looking. Maybe better to buy solar so you don't have to change battery every 3 years? I'm also concerned bracelet might be uncomfortable, because I had a bracelet watch many years ago and it was uncomfortable. But I might try because bracelet looks kind of nice I guess. Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the bracelet with a leather band? Or if the same watch is available with leather band instead?
What's a good digital watch that has >2 times >stopwatch >countdown >alarm >pacer >backlight and also isn't huge and bulky? For some reason sports watches are gigantic.
Carter Hall
What is the watch of the white man rising up against the Kalergi-Coudenhove master plan?
David Brooks
>What is the watch of the white man rising up against the Kalergi-Coudenhove master plan?
I've always liked the bold, distinctive Christian imagery Vacheron Constantin uses for their watches.
This appears to be the back of the watch. Can anyone tell if it looks like it's possible to change to a leather band?
Oliver Martin
I'm thinking maybe around US $100.
Juan Lee
Yes you can change it to a leather strap
Adrian Williams
I do like the crusader-type cross, but their non-dress watch designs are kind of underwhelming.
John Rodriguez
Yes. Any casio?

Also, it looks like the hour hand is slightly thicker than the minute hand. Not sure if I like that.
Charles Gonzalez
You can finally have an honest to god mechanical timepiece in your collection.
Not to mention they're all better built than the Casio drawer disposables
Oliver Harris
Swatch is owned by a family of orthodox Lebanese Christians; they tend to be hardcore.

Go be gay elswhere. He had a question on watches and I gave one.

To the user last thread mentioning this was a licensed movement, - tell me more? Very interested to hear.
Cameron Perry

Jack Howard
>honest to god mechanical Don't know what you mean by that. Better built? Ok, thanks for the info. Date function though, is it perpetual? Seems like a pain in the ass to have to worry about 30 vs 31 days all the time. What is the appeal of mechanical watches? Seems annoying to have to set it if you haven't worn it for a few days, plus less accurate than quartz.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Take your pills and go away.
Kevin Bailey
The speedmaster represents the pinnacle of white achievement.
Or you could get a vitage (reissue) dive watch from the 50s; the golden age for whites + diving is a typically white thing to do.
Jaxon Cox
Looks like a fun bunch of people.
Jayden Butler
Holy shit the SARX055 is already sold out on Seiya's site. That's wild for a $1k titanium Seiko powered by a 6R15.
Bentley Green
give me your favorite swiss field/pilot watches under 1k USD that are not Seiko or 50mm beasts :^)
David Walker
Or own a luxury dress watch. Pinnacle of white European class and elegance.
I once read an article, which I can't find anymore, that said "higher class" people tend to have watches with the fewest complications. Can't find it anymore.
Dylan Anderson
spotted the pol numale
Sebastian Howard
oh fug i want a speedie now... How much do they go for in Europe?
Christopher Stewart
They're out in full force today.
Aiden Clark
>give me your favorite swiss field/pilot watches under 1k USD The Hamilton Khaki Field line is the only 60.01% Swiss field watch you are getting for less than $1k. As for pilot watches, I have no idea why you'd want a Swiss pilot's watch.

at least the Swiss know how to make appropriate watch sizes, unlike Seiko

it's like buying a super high quality suit that's extremely ill-fitted
Lincoln Sullivan
G-Shock GW-M5610, it's also solar powered & radio controlled.
Cameron Williams
what
Nolan Young
Too much desu; over 4k Euros new, but you can find new ones on Chrono24 for a little over 2k Euros, which is still too much.
If they'd kept the column wheel like in the actual moonwatches, and made them chronometer-certified I'd buy one at 4k.
>Or own a luxury dress watch. Lol, yeah of course. But like you said it depends what watch; blacks love shiny things when they get money somehow.
