Sup /wt/
I am a crisis actor and I am going on CNN tonight for an interview, I am going to be saying I was at the shooting and pushing for gun control.
What watch should I wear? I am an 18 year old female ( playing a 17yo;)
Pick a good watch I can get at a store ( and not just online) and I will wear it tonight, you think I am joking but...
What store should have this in stock?
ONLY THE FINEST HAND FINISHING!
Any mall or some random no name shit shop, google "watch shop" and go to the nearest.
Don't forget to buy the bracelet too.
Let's keep this thread classy.
What was not classy about lst bread?
Please get a pink gshock and tell us just before the interview so we can see, make sure to act like an angry lesbian
i already have some bracelets :)
It was a gift. Like the other user pointed out 42 is pretty big on me and the watch is overpriced for what it is, but it's nice enough to wear, even if it doesn't really do anything interesting. I probably wear it a few times per year and leave it on the winder otherwise. This is the old version with the escapement window, so I have actually been able to use it to explain to folks how mechanical watches work when colleagues have asked.
First for shitters being the patrician's chronometer.
Great job, post a link to a video of the interview after.
> so I have actually been able to use it to explain to folks how mechanical watches work when colleagues have asked.
Implying this ever happens in normal conversation and you don’t spill autism till someone feigns interest to humor you
Makes sense.
What's the average age of the people in this thread?
Lets find out!
Why did you make under 18 an option user?
Just to cover all relevant age categories.
We are all over 18 user, we have to be or we can't post
That's the rule, but since when has that stopped kids from posting in here?
Since 2005
Theardly anime watch
So out of my thirty or so watches, my two least accurate are now quartz watches, at -6hpd and +2mpd. Feels bad.
Lol I was coming here in the seventh grade in 2005
that's illegal
I feel fairly confident asserting that this is a problem that could ONLY happen to you. Kek.
>+2mpd
For some reason I imagined that at 2 months per day instead of minutes. That would be something to behold.
Three oldfags in under 30mins? Wow, can you post your watches please gramps?
>48 is old
46
>speedy
Nice, was almost expecting a nighthawk or something
>pic related if that's not a aliexpress special
> Rate realtime footage of a watch running +2months per day
Sadly 1 year off from my birth year, but one of my favorite daily beaters.
mfw waiting for my Nomos to come in the mail
oldfags everywhere
Name the timepiece
If these results are true, than it's interesting how mostly young adults and old fucks like to shitpost about watches on a Sup Forums.
>All these senior citizens on /wt/
Not what I would have expected. I had not imagined the resident shitposters as old men arguing about Seikos on Sup Forums, but it seems like a real possibility.
>51
>senior citizen
Its always nice to see you
How are we supposed to see remotely what watch that is from.that horrible quality ohoto? Maybe a Chrono of some kind? Idk
Just enhance it, duh
No need to break a hip over it, grandpa.
wtf
;_;
Words can hurt too, words can hurt feelings.
old people mainly lurk
>have small wrist
>want watch that's 49mm LtL
>people in forums say it fits their tiny wrists okay
>not sure if it actually looks good on them or not
I just don't want some honking thing sticking out like a sore thumb on me but I love the watch
Most youngins either can't afford to, or can't appreciate fine watches as functional art.
I suppose some fucker proxy voted or something
>roleplaying as an old horology mastermind
I expected /wt/ posters to be older than the Sup Forums or general Sup Forums average, but the proportion of over 45 surprised me too.
Not that there is anything wrong with it.
Probably literally everyone who posts a $10,000+ watch is that age
Gorgeous movement user
>pitted hands and a dial that looks like old linoleum flooring in a trailer
the state of Omega finishing
That makes sense.
Nice ankles, Pops.
>$10,000+ watch
There's a nigga with a patek nautilus and another dude is buying a full gold rolexes.
I don't remember other 10k+ watches.
tfw no teen crisis actor gf
There's a lot of watches worth that much or nearly that much posted here, way to many for everyone here to be 18-25. There are also a lot of people who own several or many $500-$1000 watch, way more than someone who is nearly a teenager would own
Enhance this watch? Done
That ugly thing again, stop with that fucking abomination, really
please
It's the worst kind of shitter, a watch that would be nice if it were not all rednecked up by some promotion/advertiser who has zero skill picking color schemes
Lazy inverted cunt with an ugly watch
>be omega
>have speedmaster
>"hey dude let's make a limited edition"
>"what's the theme?"
>"racing is cool, dude people like cars"
>"what should it look like?"
>"idk dude just put a LOT of car racing related colours, and textures on the dial"
5 minutes later
>"dude I'm so high. look at this"
>"it's a masterpiece my dude"
True

You should really check for copypasta before posting it
Pink gshock :)
Not pasta, I’ll link the vid tomorrow
Has anyone here ever had their watch stolen? Or inadvertedly bought a stolen watch?
Having haters is just part and parcel of life. And the more haters I have, the more people like me - that's how I view it, because Im positive in life
So how/where do you sell your excess watches /wt/?
pic unrelated

A BMW means jack shit, you can get a used one for
What watch up to 100$ with fluid seconds pointer? Can be used. It has to have sapphire glass since i tend to smash my wrist and body at walls and doors
this show that you're never too old to shitpost, and that is inspiring
Learn to drive
Actually acrylic is more shatter resistant compared to sapphire, but is less scratch resistant.
Where's your homework?
1
Whats a fluid seconds pointer?
Do you mean a mechanical watch so that the second hand moves several times to a second (if yes how many times a second do you want?)? Or do you mean a sweeping seconds hand?
I don't need HW when I've got an Omega and a BMw, phag
first thing
wow

Okay Im not thaat pretentious
Cheapest automatics watch with sapphire I can think of is Invicta. Seiko hardlex on their Seiko 5 watches is decent and worth a look, you can pretty much find any look you want as well.
M-Marco?
Pink large gshock, also pls act like an angry lesbian
Has anyone here lost one of their watches? Post your stories. On a semi-related note, is it safe/a good idea to buy watches from pawnshops?
Casio F-91w watch is the only option 2bh.
Post a wrist shot here first as well.
