Is the Batman turtle ok?
I think it's ok, I don't like the X on the dial tho
Yeah, I hate it too. If it was cool shit like penis quartz, it'd be okay but this x looks like shit.
Who /calculator/ here?

guys
What's your grail /wt/?
39mm pic related for me, honestly think that could be an only watch for me since I'm not a watch hoarder anyway.
Easy.
opinions on SARX057?
These days I'm more interested in cars honestly and I'm much more patient with my watch purchases which allows me to spend more on them. Next watch purchase might be my last bigger one and is either gonna be the 37mm of your pic related or a GMT Master (probably either the new Pepsi on a Jubliee or a 16750).
I'm hoping to get my work life together and get one of those bad boys in few years.
Good watch but you can get the same movement for a fraction of the price
The entire SARX/SARY line would sell like crazy at 38mm
Shame about the size
Yo.
now that is nice
Dame here bro. The only watch you ever need.
You’re saving now? When’s your target year?
Both of these to be honest.
it's 40.8mm so practically the same?
what
I'm absolutely in love with this Stainless Steel ISO Certified PADI Collaboration watch purchased from the beautiful city of Perth. Made with hardex infused glass that only diamond can scratch, I've spoiled myself with this gorgeous timepiece. The calibre 16 solar movement has been crowned as the most successful chronograph movement ever produced, completely handmade by man and folded over one thousand times. It is also my very first day date watch and it will be interesting to see if it becomes an important feature that I will depend on over time. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I do.
4/10 did not change enough from the other pasta step it up senpai.
what should i have made it say
nth for
>actually diving with an Orient
wew lad
Sup
If you could buy and use for the rest of your life just one watch under 500$, what would you pick?
My choice would be this G-shock, but I'm looking for other suitable options as well.
I'm gonna start saving when I switch for a better job so not anytime soon. I'm hoping to get there by 2025, I think that's realistic.
this but with striking complication
found this in a drawer, it belonged to my deceased father
never saw a watch like this before. any info?
I would get the titanium/CF G-shock. They are a bit lighter and ~1mm thinner.
Also normal resin straps wouldn't last a lifetime, but the carbon fibre strap might hold together at least.
Yeah a Gshock is a good choice. I would probably go for a Seiko Dolce because it's more suitable for my every day life (business casual/formal)
Didn't know that something like this was a thing, thank you!
Probably my C60.
Just bought one of 5600s in all black
Darker than darkest nigga
amazon.com
Bit expensive for what it is, but I like it. I bought one impulsively and it has pretty much displaced my GW-5000 with combi bracelet.
SKX007J with a nato.
How is the legibility?
Is the case titanium?
Plastic as usual, but titanium backplate and buttons.

It’s a Seiko I like it
Will wristlets ever learn
LOL that is completely ridiculous a plastic frame watch with the titanium back plate? There is absolutely no reason to do that except that you can use the word titanium in your advertisements, what a sham
Well, it's noticeably lighter and thinner. The backplate has to be metal, so why not titanium?
lol
>It’s a Seiko I like it
what model is it? where can I get more info?
I work in an environment where I need to be smart 5 days a week so a SARB033 most likely
Man, I've seen both models in person. It really is noticeable.
0/10
>SARB033
Wish I had bought two of these while the prices were reasonable.
Thank you. Seems like I've already got what I was looking for.
The titanium version looks good but it seems it isn't worth it buying, expecially for twice the price of the "regular" one. Also, mine already feels light as fuck and it isn't a big problem switching strap and bezel every decade or so.
Maybe in the future I will buy an entry level automatic dress watch but now I don't need one anyway.
Will be interested to see what they replace it with, hope it's the same size in any case
I expect it will be "Presage" branded and cost more than the 033 did.
Wtf. This watch is bigger than my flat.
So what is the power ranking for actual tool watches?
>G Shock
>Victorinox
>Sinn depending on the model
>Seiko quartz Tuna
Any others?
Try googling that number at the bottom of the dial. There should also be one on the back.
can't find anything ;-;
how do you justify to yourself spending $1000s on a watch? There are some that I really love, but I always feel like the money could be better spent elsewhere.
Any $10 Casio would rank highly. Just keep a spare or two for when you fuck it up.
This, though I'd get the movement in the blue dialed steel version if I could. This is probably the single most autistic watch Seiko has made in 40 years.
6.25" wrist, what buy?
A lot of people these days are in a situation where they earn plenty of money, but could never afford a house. It becomes easier to justify "wasting" money in that case.
budget? genre? movement?
If you're willing to pay more, the new 6L35 powered SJE073 is a huge step beyond the SARX057.
>actual tool watch tier
G-Shocks, cheap disposable watches (quartz field watches for example)
>RP tool watches
Everything else that looks tool watch like or was a tool watch 80 years ago but is made irrelevant by current tech though if really needed can be used (flight watches, divers, ect)
>not tool watches
Every watch that doesn't pretend to be something
I know a rich dude, he told me that he's only buying expensive things when he could afford 10 or more of that item.
With watches this is pretty nice rule to follow. But if there is a watch that you really want, just save up for it, from relocating funds, I mean like buying one less dr. pepper a week is not a big sacrifice but gets you closer to a nice timepiece.
fair comments. I live very frugal from habits of when I was borderline (and actually) homeless, despite earning pretty well for my age now. I just feel like aside from saving, I should be spending it on some kind of experience rather than jewelry. I guess it all comes down to priorities at the time
I like nice things. I like to have nice versions of things I use often. I like to have versions of things that work and I don't have to worry about for things I don't use as often. All of this leads to spending more on things.
I feel like if you have to justify things you probably aren't in a position to buy an expensive watch.
why is it a huge step? also it costs $2200
Where ie possble to buy something like that?
Mr.Chink's Ebay store.
The 6L is an ETA 2892-A2 top grade competitor, where the 6R is an ETA 2824-2 standard grade competitor. If you don't care about movements, then get the SARX.
>The 6L is an ETA 2892-A2 top grade competitor, where the 6R is an ETA 2824-2 standard grade competitor
what does this mean in practice
Yokai Watchu
I can’t believe you guys are letting that windyknob troll run the threads now.
Google is your friend here. The numbers at the bottom of the dial can tell you a lot 6309 is the movement, and the 513LR is the case style iirc. On the back, you should be able to find out when it was produced if you can decode the serial number. This site can help:
watchsleuth.com
thanks
>Your watch was most likely produced in February of 1979.
also I found one on ebay (it doesn't work and it's damaged), pic related
Are you saying my 38mm watch is too big? Because it’s not.
The 6L has the following advantages over the 6R:
1) Higher beat rate of 28,800 bph rather than 21,600 bph. This makes the movement more resistant to having its timing rate affected by gravity, temperature and shocks.
2) It has a screw type micro-regulator. This improves shock resistance and makes fine adjustment of regulation much easier.
3) It is much thinner, allowing a thinner watch design.
4) It receives more factory adjustment of the escapement so it will tend to be significantly more accurate.
5) It is better finished, both functionally and cosmetically.
Moderation literally does not care. Everyone else here likes wallowing in shit, evidently.
>day date
>X on dial
nah
Decided to keep this after all.
It's grown on me.
We like it.
Disgusting.

>He is more bearable than other trolls here 2bh. He almost has a level of charm.
You are not fooling anyone windyknob :^)
Fuck me, that's pretty.
hi, new here
what do you guys think about multidial watches and what are the best budget ones in the market?
does this hold candy or what
I would never have sex with a clown. It just doesn't do it for me
I have and never will post a windy knob. His trolling is obvious and easy to filter.
No it holds that disc to summon powerful nippon spirit monsters!
Lange makes nice movements
So does The windyknob guy actually own that watch? Google image search returns nothing and the time is right. I don’t understand what the point of his trolling is, what is he trying to do? That’s not even the right watch, it’s blue, I just don’t get it. What am I missing can somebody explain this to me?
