What are you wearing today /wt/ ?
everyone hated the nato the alpenis was on the last time i posted, so here's the replacement for that
Good morning wt
seiko solar is love, seiko solar is life
how can one mans taste in straps be so consistently awful
do you own stock in a perlon factory or something?
is there even anywhere to service that, as cool as it is?
Friendly reminder that ceramic oscillators are superior in accuracy, cost, reliability and size.
t. EE
what would you have used?
they were cheap from china + a decent leather would cost more than 2 of the watches on perlon currently/natos on dress watches feels like an oxymoron and looks terrible
...
Just a leather strap, mostly talking about your other ones though.
Studying for finals. It's a shit class, so a beat up seiko that barely keeps time seems appropriate.
leather on a 200m waterproof watch makes little sense.
not much other choices for the dress watches other than leather, which is expensive and boring.
did consider shark mesh for the amphibia, which i might still do
Why are your notes in some weird language?
Not everybody can write invisible notes, user.
Upgraded moto 360 to gear s3 frontier
...
>liverspotted arm with gross hair
yucky
I have come to terms with you windy knob guy.
Please use a darker lead. I can't even read your shit it's too faint.
don't be a prick
Are you seriously rating people fucking skin?
Yes, it's going to my.spare.time on eBay in the UK next month, a watchmaker who specializes in the esa9162.
looks like an alien planet
>in-house movement
>40mm
>navitimer aesthetic but more unique
Thoughts?
...
Only downside I can think of is no lume (strange for a pilot's watch).
Personally I hate it, but you do you.
that's nice user
Let me guess; too busy?
That shit blends at a few feet of distance.
:^)
>fuckhuge
>nigger tier blingy
>overlapping subdials
>unncessary date squeezed in to ruin the symmetry
the only pilot watches worth owning are the sturmanskie chrono, vintage glycine airman and stowa flieger
nice user
>fuckhuge
40mm user.
>nigger tier blingy
No more than the average Sarb.
>overlapping subdials
That red subdial is one of the best features.
>unncessary date
What?
Casio F-91W
Good thing they're for me to read and not you.
Assuming you're talking about my notes, it's because I speak a weird language. It's the language of watchmaking though!
Is this Anri Okita
I put this back together after having to re-service it because I blew out the crystal in the wet pressure tester.
...
>40mm user
fine
>No more than the average Sarb.
no
>That red subdial is one of the best features.
looks horrendous user, also why are you paying extra for a circle?
>What?
pilot doesn't need to know the date and it makes an already complicated watch look bad (worse, in this case)
why do you guys jerk off over seiko's so much? i like them and own more of them than any other but only because they're cheap
>no
Yes.
>looks horrendous user
k
>why are you paying extra for a circle?
Haha what?
>pilot doesn't need to know the date
So you're trolling. Got it.
Hello, /wt/. Need me some ABC watch recommendations. Something like the Suunto Core, but cheaper. It needs to /not/ have GPS, BT or anything that can send/receive data.
You get a lot for a little.
how people ITT think they look:
That is the only seiko i have ever wanted. will pick one up in a few months.
how you really look
Good luck user.
Most of us don't mind seiko. There are like 5 or 6 people on this board that are apple tier seiko fanboys and ruin it for everyone.
This thread is not about how you look it’s about the horticultural appreciation of watches
thanks m8. Ill consult with you fucks before i order anything.
but i dont wear suits that look like my grandpa owned
pic related is how i think i look actually. we aren't all Squale owners user
my speedmasters are germinating currently
My only watch nowadays
I love it
Any good 24 hour watches around $200-$300?
SKX007
Showing off my 30 seconds lume
Get a sinn 904
that is not a 24hr watch
Casio prw3500
It takes a NATO too
what about that is 24h
>She just posted a vintage fucking Rolex
Reminder that -a girl- has a better watch collection than 99% of this thread.
>instagram.com
threadly reminder to NOT hord shitters
Nice, how is the value retention with the in house movement?
You have some 24h Komandirskies for under $100.
Casio = Win
>the essential pilot chronograph is not worth owning
ishygdbt
I wouldn't mind if it lost the date window though.
Should I? Don't have an amphibia yet.
>not in-house
>bezel has fake grip edge
>7750
>thicc as fuck
Nah.
Stop obsessing over instagram influencers.
>how is the value retention with the in house movement?
Since it's not "muh Rolex" I'm guessing the value retention will be pretty poor unless it's used in a movie for normies to see.
i suppose the originals are nice. every modern one is gross though
why not? its like a £75 watch fully loaded
probably bad since its visually unappealing to most of the population
>visually unappealing to most of the population
The navitimer look is extremely popular, user. Are you dumb?
Sure but the Navitimers witht the in house movement hold their value much better than the ones without it but I see a lot less Montbrilliants so I wasn't sure if it even matters for this model.
Easiest way to sell a watch? Reddit? WUS? Craigslist?
I love my Bambino, it just doesn't look right on me
How the fuck does this even happen? This is a clutch wheel from a customer's Molnija pocketwatch.
Maybe it was dropped on its crown, since the balance staff is broken too, but I can't find any other damage on the case.
there is a new site called ebay
I found her posting on the Vostok forum on WUS.
I would love to know what she looks like, but she doesn't have a single fucking picture that's not watch related.
I think I'm in love....
that means she's fat
all cute girls have pics of themselves
She's just some ugly gook
Her wrists are too thin
But really, how can one female have such based taste?
You guys fucking suck, posting skxs all day
Look at this shit
Jokes aside, she has a damn nice collection.
Wish I could have a friend/gf like this to discuss horology with ;.;
Nigger
>Bullhead
>Higonokami
Confirmed tranny. No female has this good taste.
Nah her hands are girly
I'm just not sure if I should go for 710 like that pic or a 120. Size difference is only a mm in lug to lug. Also I'm not gonna use the bracelet do getting it on a rubber strap would be better. Are those good though? If not, what's a good rubber to put on amphibian?
>discuss horology
Is that what they call playing with eachother's dicks nowadays?
100%
>Good thing they're for me to read and not you.
then why do you post it for all to see you dumb french fuck?
All bratlings will take a hit in value retention once the effects of chinese ownership makes themselves known. Even if the new owners don't chink shit up the very fact that it's owned by chinese means the brand's being dropped asap.
Davosa makes a Quartz GMT watch in that range I think, so that's basically a 24 hour and 12 hour watch in one.
How do you guys pressure test watches? this site claims my green diver is 1000m resistant.
Because that's literally where the watch was when I saw the post "what are you wearing today".
Also, the watch is mine to use too, and it's in the picture. It doesn't matter if you don't like it.
Is that a citizen copy?
Well it is the quartz reissue that was exclusive to Tic Tac a few years ago.
i don't know what it's supposed to copy but it looks like the deep blue watch i ordered. want to test if they're the same thing.
You will never go down 1000 meters, it's a pointless claim
it's like saying your car will survive a 100 foot fall onto it's roof
1, 2, or 3?
stop posting this and order 1 already.
