That's going to look great on you in about 40 years
imagine the smell
that worn down bezel is a shame
it looks so crisp when new
Which titanium solar shogun should I get? Black bezel or stainless steel bezel?
Black looks a lot nicer t-b-h.
I find this watch quite interesting. It beats at 1 hertz, or 7200 bph, 2 ticks per second.
Watches will be arriving tomorrow, pretty excited to no longer have to take my phone out of my pocket to check the time
Agreed
Good luck seeing one in person
Post Collection
Post a watch you own you find kind of ugly, still you like a lot .
>pic related
I don’t get how you have a box full of absolute shitters, yet you own a 7000€+ (I believe) moonphase speedmaster. Is it a fake? Post better pics.
You own it? Nice. Post some wrist shot m8.
Sure
Gimme a sec
I own the Rolex and the Speedmaster because I like them a lot and I had the money
I own the Shitters because I like digital Shitters
It's an heirloom, so I'm fine with keeping it as is.
That gold Rolex is gaudy as fuck. No wait it’s original, at least I hope so.
Even a normal stainless flat polished bezel is always the part that starts getting scratches and dings first in my experience. I imagine a soft gold bezel with lots of sharp edges doesn't stay pristine for very long.
Have any of you watch repair anons had to deal with front loaded watches? Are they more of a challenge?
>pathetic faggot incapable of having his own taste or understanding that other people are capable of actually buying the things they like instead of buying only the generic swiss luxury that boring faggots on /wt/ told them to buy
Lol
Pretty much this
I like the F91-W for it's shitter status, I like the Seiko Monster, I like the Nomos, I like the bog standard Seiko5 and I like the Speedy and the Daydate
Also don't shittalk my glorious 5600BB
Nice
>DateJUST
Nice, do you wind it on a daily basis just not to have to set the moonphase everytike you are gonna wear it?
Calm your tits, we all know it’s not common to see a nice expensive piece within a shitter collection, hence my question.
To be honest I don't
I do wear it like once every two weeks and I just set it again then.
It's pretty fast, you just push the button on top for each day that's passed since it stopped.
Since you set the moonphase and date seperatly I just set the date first and then use the same amount of pushes for the moon.
>boring faggot with no opinion of his own damage controlling
Suck my knob
I understand where you're coming from.
But the datejust comes either in gold, white gold or platinum. And I don't want to spend thousands on a Rolex only to have people think I'd be plebian enough to wear a steel fake.
So Gold it is.
Also it looks amazing in person, pictures don't really do the color justice.
>Worn on the moon
Brag about it, why doncha.
Textured Bracelet similar to the dial
Ref is 18248 if someone is interested in the specific texturing.
Up until a couple of years ago they used to put "The First and only watch worn on the moon" on there.
Until someone pointed out that the Bulova was also worn on the moon.
Now it just says the first.
Kind of a bummer for Omega I guess.
Similar to the bezel, excuse me.
looks cool but that must get beaten up so quickly, especially with such yellow gold I imagine just brushing your leg would leave a huge welt
I'm too retarded to wear a solid gold watch, I'm always autistic and bumping into things.
they should hire Musk to put it on Mars or something.
>Worn on Pluto (by a rover, pending 2089)
Well I don't plan on selling it again and I have watches to wear them.
I don't like the Idea of safe queens.
However I tend to wear one of the digital ones or the Seikos most of the time.
Also it's not solid gold, it's 750 or 18k Gold
Sturdy enough that you can touch or slightly bump something with it without leaving a dent.
You shouldn't be hitting anything on purpose though, just like with any other watch.
Musk already put a Vostok into space
that's not too bad then, its just hard to tell by the pics
still even if you are careful how bad does it scratch?
I'm so paranoid that I'd probably go for platinum
So far it's scratch free
I don't plan on experimenting with that though
BAZILWERLD 2018 AHHHHHHHHH
Post predictions
Link the previous thread homo
Did your go for DD as opposed to DJ because you actually like the design or just because well, it's a DD? Honestly I think DJ with fluted bezel looks miles better than DD which isn't plan ugly to me.
I'm just hoping that Seiko's new 6L35 is 28,800 bph, regulated to at least -10 to +15 SPD or better, and is a drop in replacement for the 6Rxx.
I actually really like the design
The day on top of the dial looked incredibly nice to me when I first saw it.
I kind of knew I had to have it at that point.
After looking through some similar models, and looking at a Tudor Prince I decided that I really want the original one, and here we are.
Something about the DJ doesn't sit right with me sadly.
However I agree that the DJ looks very nice with the fluted bezel
Swatch group acquires Patek Philippe, Audemars Piquet, Jaeger Le Coultre and transforms them into more expensive Longines.
Seiko releases a watch made entirely from soy protein, nu males around the globe celebrate.
Casio brings back the stainless steel digitals, chads around the world rejoice.
Philippe Dufour releases a watch made from Weapons grade uranium.
>Light watches are shitters.
TGV and AC3 do videos on the show, encounter eachother and end up fighting.
AC3 uses fat and crushes TGV and ends up in jail.
Nomos releases a watch with longer lugs, a highly expected move from them.
I would be down for a budget plastic nautilus with a sistem51 movement.
Just ordered one of the new Amphibias
Is there any other factories that have their logo on that type of clasp or it's only rolex?
Is that finally the clicky bezel one?
Only Rolex does the Presidential/Hidden Clasp thing as far as I know
you could the UD one right?
I've seen others without a logo at all (Ming 17.03 is the last one I remember), I can't recall any with a logo but I'd be surprised if nobody else did it.
Oops didn't read the "own" part
Funny if I had the cash I'd be buying white gold for sure. I think it looks a hundred times better and the stealth factor is an added bonus
on aliexpress there's this jubilee
if you want they put the rolex logo instead of the circle
i don't want a fake logo but the circle is hideous
nice
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...
you've made this exact post weeks ago, stop
Sup Forums please
Get the new release coming out
Get a pink G-Shock
Good morning /wt/
Nice moonphase. It was the first watch I really loved, but then I kinda stopped thinking about it. I still like it somewhat, but the proportions still bother me a bit when compared with the traditional Speedmaster, and also now that I'm older, having a moonphase plus date whilst being handwound is slightly annoying. Still, good watch.
Spot on. My uncle has one of these, but his is the polished gold version, probably from the 70s or so. Beautiful in person, understated but not too small. Definitely a watch to own if you can. Do you wear yours a lot?
Please either suggest a watch or stop, on topic only plz ^_*
She might have another interview, don’t judge
F91w is my vote

Source?
It’s posted one Time only, would it be that hard just to suggest a watch and not get your panties in a bunch?
First time in this general or are you actually just retarded?
Please just post about watches and not how salty you are about others posting watch questions
Nice shitter retard
Vostok watches have been worn by cosmonauts in multiple occasions.

Wanted actually to post this image first.
Nigga, just google three words “vostok watch space”.
This model was also worn by some cosmonaut at some point in space. Can’t find a picture I wanted but I’ve seen a pic of this watch floating at zero gravity within the ISS before.
(you)
Good morning wt
>an ugly gaudy piece of shit is something to be salty over
Hmmm it's almost like you have post purchase rationalization and need to feel superior for wasting your money on an ugly watch
Post your watch faggot
