How much? Pretty interesting!
i like the accutron (should have gotten the steel version though) and penisquartz (should have got the 0853-8025 though).
Super old; hoping to get some new pictures once my latest buy arrives in a week or so, and before a bunch of stuff goes out for service.
should have got a pre-maxi one user. too thicc for fancy clothes, too fancy for casual clothes
Your Constellation always gets me hard.
that constellation is fucking beautiful. Also digging that sub seconds what you got on the top right.
What brand of box is that? Looking to get my dad a replacement one since his last watch winder box broke.
I prefer Spaceviews in gold. I like my 7143-7030 just fine, but I always have my eyes peeled for more at a fair price.
The perfect watch face
post a more aesthetic and functional one
oh wait, you cant
What's that chinky watch in the winder?
My constellations are like among my ugliest watches (and I just bought another ugly one this morning). Are you two taking about this one?
Kendal brand, on Amazon. 50usd for 2+3, 100 for 4+6. Work pretty well for a cheap winder; would recommend
Probably this one? Vaguer Hauers Shi Chen, from good-stuffs
I want something thats both Sup Forums and /fa/ max 150 euro
suggest away
>Post what you've got.
wanting something that both this board and /fa/ will like is a bit of a contradiction
What do you rate it? I've never heard of Vaguer Hauers before, do they have a good reputation?
Current rotation. Not full collection.
>blurry as shit 4mb phone image
honestly user, fuck you
They use a miyota 8xxx, which is the interior miyota family compared to their 9xxx. The dial is quite attractive. The case finishing is basic but fine. I'm happy with it for the price.
Do you wear it often?
...
Not super often. It's a little late for my taste, but I probably wear it about once a month, which is about average given it's in a thirty watch rotation.
i don't think the one in the winder is a constellation. bottom definitely is
Pick one
Ok ok, ill try to fix it. Just a quick night stand pic you know... not that i expect doing any better with the phone now.
You didn't put a subject you fuck
he also didn't tag it /wt/
fucking amateur
Then pretend it's April Fools day again and suggest something extra /fag/gy.
> My seamaster cosmic
Super nice. 613 caliber, manual wind version of the 56x series. Rare dial with Arabic numerals. The cosmic was a remote of the cosmic line from the fifties (but now in a totally different look) to take advantage of the popularity of all things space in the sixties.
No it's not.
My great grandmother's election Grand Prix from the 40s. Very clean for the era. Manual wind, oversized case.
Thats the best my phone-fu level allows me to get with shitty bedroom lights.
I wasnt very clear i said i liked the constellation and the one on the winder but i was also wrong as
it is actually a cosmic.
I really like both of those but also the lemania stop watch is very nice. Oh and of course that luch
I'm a fan
yep
much clearer and with a reduced file size
thanks user! ^_^
wearing my alpenis today. haven't taken it off since my strapcode oyster arrived
I like the other one, sorry, should have clarified.
?
Yes. Hot.
Too bad I don't have the webm on my phone
What kind of watch is this and wtc?
>whorology
Wait, there's an entire science behind whores?
I got you familia.
Aids awareness watch
Thanks, downloaded to phone for next time
>tattooed on watch
>el tiempo latino
>white boi in the back has ass like a girl
>my feet hurt
left
You got the Bulova one too?
Gotta be more specific, unless this is the one you're thinking of.
How come why
Left.
Left looks better.
Hnngngng, that's the stuff
lmao this thread is proof that watches are risers for wristlets
What?
A watch doesnt exactly make your wrist look any bigger
Ok, I'll get the right one
You do you, but then why even ask?
What's the cheapest COSC watch you can buy new?
Probably a Tissot - the Tissot powermatic Chronometer can be had for 400usd or less.
>Tissot powermatic Chronometer
Very interesting, I didn't expect it to be this cheap. I just looked at the Tudor North flag used prices for that angular aesthetic and noticed that most of them had the inhouse movement and cosc approval for around 2K € which I already thought was quite the bargain.
Because I wanted to know what you'd get
...
Honestly, they both look good, I just personally think the higher contrast of the hands on the black version is easier to read at a glance.
Looks good, do you plan to get the bracelet properly sized?
Is there a way to acquire a nice Lord Quartz without going to yahoo.jp auctions?
I prefer the white one. But i have never seen them irl, so not sure.
I got that one from eBay for $60.
Good to know, I have my eye on the 7853-7000 and other models with white face and the flatter case. Do some of them come with non Japanese daywheels?
Most, if not all that I've seen have been Japanese and English.
Thanks, I feared that there was some aftermarket modding required.
Is it just the angle of the photo, or are the top markers a bit misaligned?
I prefer the tan nato strap on the seiko but the leather isnt bad
And the hour hand has some dire finishing, looks like I did it with my shitty tools.
I think virtually all Lord/King/Grand quartz were JDM only models, so if it has a day wheel then it'll have kanji days.
Could it be dist on the crystal?
>another shitty general forgot title
Mine, and the ones a few of my meatspace buddies own all have kanji+english day wheels.
Dust, rather.
Today in the mail I got a (supposedly) NOS Shanghai, and a fucking NOS Cosmotron. It's completely unworn, it even has the original caseback film.
It does have a very tiny chip at 7:30 so my guess is it was dropped once in the store in the 70's and then never sold.
That's wild, very cool user
i really like the colour user.
I'm supposed to service it then sell it, but ask yourself: would you if you were in my place?
Fuck, nice.
...
What are the floral banded watches, the diver beneath the flamingo and the bass watch watch next to the flamingo.
I should have worded myself a bit more cleary I realize: I want the English day and feared that they would only have Japanese wheels. Appearantly they are bilingual from the factory.
Still one of my favorite wt collections, and looks like you've added some stuff since that last photo. Very nice user.
Great collection.
I used to have a Casio film watch, like the one pictured, either it showed analogue time or digital time with a dolphin thing going back and forth in the bottom half each second. The area around the circle was mirrored and the resin strap just slid on to the watch, predictably the strap got caught at a gig and it fell off, I found it after and the face was broken.
How much did you get the chronostop for? I'm very jelly.
What's the story behind the 90 degree turned dial?
Nice collection, I have not seen the pepsi bezel before
What's the ref for that seamaster on the left? The royal oak style of case calls to me.
Is that a 45xx King Seiko? Have you posted it here before? I don't recall seeing it. Nice collection overall.
Looks like this one
gethashtags.com
It's a chronostop, designed to be worn by racing drivers on the back of their wrist, that way the dial is the right way up when they look at it whilst driving.
Ah I wish Autodromo was cheaper.
it pretty obviously is a replica
Seconding this question
