What's a good smartwatch?
No one answered so repost. What is the consensus on mecha quartz chronographs?
look for one with a camera
Basel a shit
Should I try to get a vintage Seiko in quartz or automatic?
>Vintage Seiko
>Ever
Quartz unless you have the interest in vintage mechanicals to do enough research to not get ripped off buying one, and to be willing to cover the service costs.
What are some good cheap automatic watches to get me to appreciate watch making? I'm taking in $50-$100 range. Can buy used as well.
This is why I only have two vintage Seiko. Don't want to get reamed trying to maintain too many old stuff.
Seiko 5
Can I get something Swiss in that range?
My plan:
Start collecting an enormous amount of pictures of hot girls with watches.
I will flood /wt/ until we get another general called /gww/ , like /k/ has with girls with guns.
I got a watch sent back to me, an old-ass Marvin.
Fuck, how did I miss this?
unless you are really digging around ebay for interesting vintage and doing your research then expect to go into the 300-500 range for a decent "swizz" watch like a Hamilton.
What are you wearing, /wt/?
Find us a little lithe watchchan
Our own boxxy
^_^
What's going on here?
Waiting for the bus at the airport. Sorry for shitty pic, i dont want to look like the jerk i am taking photos of my watch.
Used omega seamaster coaxile someone has given up on will be available in that range
You will have to service it yourself though
I took a great pic of the velcro tho.
Well thank God you got it posted, we really could not wait for that
>The psychology of an omega male
Mission accomplished. Great public transport service i have to say.
I knew you were waiting for it. I couldnt dissapoit. I owe everything to my fans.
Escape wheel pinion is too short for whatever reason. Oddly the pivots seem fine, they don't look worn nor broken.
Any ShockBois in?
youtu.be
Why are you wearing it on your hand?
what has Seiko announced as Basel?
Cos i like to piss off my fellow autists.
And i prefer to wear bracelets a bit looser than NATOs, rubber or leather straps.
>what has Seiko announced as Basel?
>the CHADsio Man takes a photo of his wrist proudly standing on the public street, reviews photo and takes several more openly as backups
>the SOYmega male cowers and hunches over trying to disguise his photo taking, quickly shoves shitty android phone in pocket once the deed is done
Why did somebody install a black dot on their genuine Rolex?
>dial not dot
While I like that seamaster, I think the bracelet is pretty hideous.
Its obviously the best part of the watch. So much better than any other 90s' bracelet.
When does this come out?
New 6r15 watch in a MM300 case, new limited edition grand seikos to celebrate their pursuit of accuracy, new 6l35 movement (not much info yet apart from "it's thin")
Alright, I figured it out already. The center wheel bridge uses two screws that have thinner heads, but I used a normal bridge screw for one so the gear train bridge above it can't go low enough, so the escape wheel slips out.
A fucking embarrassing rookie mistake that I'm ashamed of, but also fuck Marvin and every over movement maker for not making screws that are distinctly different from each other.
They didn't. It's fake
This desu (checked). Its ugly but it shits on Rolex's hollow end link trash of the 90s
They will ban you and delete all pictures of any women with watches
Try it if you don’t believe me
Only men wearing watches are allowed in this thread, I’m not even kidding
Oh shit how do you like this? You're not the normal Nomos Club poster are you? I am considering this for the summer. How's the alpha movement holding up for you?
Any good shit from Basel that I missed? Already got through Tudor Rolex and GS
Just looks cheap to me, maybe I'd like it more in person.
Not even enough photos of the new 6L35 for the resident Seiko autist to tell if it's based on the 4Lxx or the 4Sxx yet. At a claimed 3.7mm thickness, though, it's more likely related to the 4L that the 4S.
Also, other watch repairers/makers of /wt/, how often do you guys do this?
I'd feel less like an idiot if I knew others did this now and then too.
99% of these people have never picked up a screwdriver.
How faux pas would it be to bring in two watches to a watch repairman at the same time? Especially if it is my first visit?
Apart from me there are like two or three other guys on /wt/. I'm asking them, not the shiny thing hoarders.
If you allow him twice the repair time then it's all good. What you shouldn't do is dump seven-eight shitters on him for on the spot battery changes.
I opened digital watches several times and swapped a battery once can i be in the cool club??
Wave patterns on dials make me puke.
I have two, they're neat. Not as cool as my actual mechanical chrono but they were 10% the price. I recommend starting with an SSB027 or 25
I'm the normal poster yes. I like it a lot and the movement is great. I recommend it highly.
Are the mods actually sexist Bigots?
Let’s test, please rate my nubile teen gf’s watch....pic very related
The design is a bit dated, but the quality is quite good. And very good compared to other 20th century stuff as said by the other user.
They're watches.
The watch is a bit large for her, but otherwise nice watch.
Don't buy Japshit on Ebay, migrate to Buyee.jp.
I don’t like the jubilee bracelet
No. There is no reason to buy vintage 56xx Lord Matic models when you can get the much better 52xx LM Specials for the sake money. The LM Specials have a better movement with a better beat rate, better reliability, and received more factory adjustment.
>nubile
This was actually a regular poster for awhile,
It’s just that this is too much soyko does to you
What do they usually go for? Do they have kanji day dials?
How many of you 300m diver's watch faggots have actually been deeper than 25m?
I am actually a saturation diver looking to install a helium escape valve on this watch
>SKX looks better on Oyster
>make it with a Jubilee
>Turtle looks better on Jubilee
>make it with an Oyster
What the fuck Seiko.
I would index her chapter ring
If you know what I mean
Got the jubilee as well. Much more comfy then the clunky stock bracelet.
Hello wt
It's growing on me. Fuck.
Have you considered going two-tone with your 775?
I was gifted the watch in the image (model number is in the filename). I am not versed in the science of clocks and watches. What does Sup Forums think of it?
Welp, can’t deny the stealth wealth of taking the logo off your $10,000 Submariner !
tfw you used to be into watches, now I just wear a casio f91w everyday, feelsgoodman no more watch bs
My watch goes 600 metres and I've been around 2 meters deep.
I keep screws well separated and labeled because I'm oaranoid about exactly this. But I've never had to replace a screw, which is presumably when this is more likely to happen.
What's the best penisquartz?
They're all pretty good, just find one you like the look of.
I just tried on the Railmaster and it's so much nicer in the flesh. I'm torn between the Railmaster, Seamaster 300 and a Rolex Explorer and damn is it hard to decide although the Seamaster 300 is nicer in pictures than in the flesh IMO.
9983 and 9681 are the most technically interesting. 4883 is also technically very good and has some of the nicest dials. Those are all doublepenis, obviously.
the one with two quartz dicks on the dial instead of one.
Get a 8620 Crystron instead.
Post more of her
Please
Why?
Kino movement.
cheap and aesthetic
The usual, still love it
What makes that movement better than the twin quartz movements? Or is it just that you like the colors?
Do you know of any good resources about penis quartz movements and watches? I have a 7546, a 0852, and a 9943.
I haven't worn this one in a while, I'm putting it back in circulation.
This is specifically about twin quartz.
thewatchsite.com
>tfw no penisquartz patterned dial
Why’s she so perfect, /wt/?
Seiko really loved that damn logo, did none of them think to turn it 180 degrees so it looks like a tuning fork instead of the way it is now that looks like a penis?
How about the fact that it has an eight pole rotor instead of a normal two-pole and it has an adjustable rotor indexing finger. Also all-metal construction apart from the circuit board (non-printed), bigass SR43 battery, gold plated electronic screws, replaceable quartz crystal and a bunch of other shit I can't remember.
