This thread is about the appreciation of whorology, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

First for Orient not being Seiko.
I wish I had $140,000 to buy an Urwerk.
Why is the movement so jittery?
Planetary gears are cool but never cared for urwerk's style - plus this one is much more affordable.
Why it looks like some $50 chink crap a teen working retail would wear
Are you talking about the flourescent lighting?
I don't even like them but this atomic briefcase thing is too cool to not want.
No.
I'm guessing it's a automatic movement but it looks like Quartz.
he must be
I think you are blind
It went slomo
Because you have absolutely no taste
Nah looks ridiculous
t. the guy who made the other thread
nope
Who the fuck would put a soyko on pussy like that? Buy her a 26mm DJ you faggot.
How retarded is it to wear an expensive watch while walking around NYC?
She could have an ugly face
Somewhat related but what is the next best thing to a ladies datejust that is quartz? Preferably similar in that at least 100m WR and a screw lock crown.
Rate my new egg timer /wt/
thicc/10
Ordering a blue dial Ray II tomorrow.
Still bageling here~
>soyko
Fuck off.
Wearing any watch that isn't a Submariner or Seamaster is just admitting that you couldn't afford a Submarinre or Seamaster. No one should be proud of any watch that isn't one of those, it's why people with microdicks don't post pictures of their penis online.
Fuck off posting Soyko.
But I can’t afford a Submariner or Seamaster. Post yours.
I'd rather not take a submariner or seamaster in the actual ocean every day
ugly
.
So I guess we are posting Seiko?
How difficult/costly would it be to buy a Seiko watch and change the face to something that didn't say Seiko on it?
Nth for skx007 shitposting
Just asks your average poo in loo seller on ebay.
I think the bagel is very iconic actually

>what book is this?
It's the technical information booklet from Bulova for the Accutron 218. I believe it would have been distributed to jewelers who were trying to sell the 218 watches. It's not a service manual and doesn't go into really specific detail - it's clearly meant as a way to educate the watch-buying public, rather than watch repair folks.
out of date, but whatever
That urwork atomic sync clock is pretty cool.
What’s the cheapest mechanical diver actually suitable for diving?
Definitely not complete, these are just the ones that are Japanese and have day-date. One day I'll try to make a few pics of them sorted into categories, like Japs, Swiss, Slavshit, Casios and other (German, chink, etc.)
in what way?
>post collections
Post yfw you found out how hard some guy fell for the meme

In a weaponised autism way.

That literally looks like a riced out chinkshit watch
I have always liked your taste user.
Gonna buy ~3 japanese watch this week
I guess? It basically boils down to, "we have a computer measure whether your mechanical watch is fast or slow by comparing it to atomic time, and then we either regulate the watch to run slow or fast to compensate." At least to me it's not much more interesting than checking yourself every night and either putting the watch crown up or dial up at night.
thank you internet stranger
Have you got any closeups of that penis?
The internet is really dumb what it boils down to is we have a computer store your information and then we give you just the bits you want when you want it. At least to me it's not much more interesting than going to your library and reading the book yourself.
I have always liked your taste as well, user.
Unfortunately, my income is not enough.
More bagel
Found what I wrote about it back when wt discussed it last in January.
> The Urwerk AMC (kind of similar to the Morgenwerk HAQ watches) is in some sense not that interesting to me. For example, imagine a watch that has two settings - either it runs in the +8spd to +22spd range, or you can fiddle with the regulator to have it run -3spd to -16spd. Every night, you check the time; if the watch is fast, you put the regulator on the second setting; if it is slow, you put it on the first setting. This isn't a very good watch, but that's all the AMC is doing. I actually thought the EMC was more interesting; it has a 16MHz quartz oscillator, which as far as I know, no other wristwatch has (unfortunately, this isn't used for timekeeping).
If that's honestly your picture, there are plenty of pieces you can buy for as much, if not less than any Fossil watch that are considerably better value, as I'm sure you're aware considering your nice vintage pieces. I'm poor as fuck as well for the moment.
You missed the other 50+%of what the watch is doing. Which in my eyes is the impressive part. Synchronizing the watch mechanically to within a second of atomic time. Also just having an atomic clock is pretty cool too.
>fossil
Fa-m, don't take me for a normie. I got that as a gift.
The most I paid for a watch was the Orient at something like a 100 euro, but it was worth it.
I am getting a kashio w-86 and two or three rare orient (one may be a citizen) watch this week tho.
Why do you buy so many watches?
would you recommend stealthing a g-shock? i kinda like the look of your 5600. did you just use goof off?
Post underrated brands
A shitter Vostok will be fine for diving, but if you actually need an implement to time real dives, you'd be insane to not use a computer.
>54mm case width
Which one do you mean? They are all stock, except that the non-negative module from the black x blue was swapped into the navy resin to get a navy blue 5610 without a negative display.
SKX, it's the cheapest ISO 6425 compliant diver. If course it should only be worn as a back-up to a dive computer.
oh, okay, the navy resin one looks like it had the paint stripped off it, but upon closer inspection the paint is just black
i've been thinking of stripping the white paint off the resin bezel of my 5600 for shits and gigs, idk
My top 6 shitters.
When you own so many watches, do you actually wear them all or do you have one or two that get worn more than the rest? Is it more for the satisfaction of having a complete collection as some kind of personal museum than for the sake of actually wearing them?
Opinions on wearing a diver with a suit?
Is it diving suit?
how can you wear a diver? surely they would be uncomfortable
kek
clear indicator that the guy doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, roughly tantamount to someone who doesn't fasten the buttons on an oxford collar
if the diver has a fuckhuge bezel, like an skx or ny0040, it's even more of a giveaway
Now these that I mentioned are only the watches that are complete, restored and ready to wear. I'm more into the movements, restoring and working on them, having a wearable watch at the end is an added bonus.
The only movements I have multiple examples of are the Citizen 780x Cosmotron, the Seiko 6106, the Citizen 8620 Crystron and some 22 and 24 cal. Vostoks. And the F-91W of course.
It's a big no no. But. In this day and age as long as it's thin enough to fit under your cuffs it really doesn't matter.
Well, other than the yellow digital, not too bad. I just assumed you were shitposting due to that, the filename, and the Fossil.
Yep, there's the paid-for marketing, indeed. Now post the Casio.
Fleming's intention with Bond wearing a tool watch with a tuxedo was so that the character would seem isolated among his Etonian peers. Then again, if you work with people who are just as clueless about dressing like an adult as you appear to be, then I suppose you're good to go.
you call that gore?
No one in the real world cares. Only larpers like this guy:
Is this more your style?
Not the same user, but what's your opinion on Seiko's 7140 movements, provided you've had a chance to mess with any?
>indeed
I saw it argued in a previous thread that it was sensible for Bond to wear a diver with a suit as he very well may end up diving in his suit
James Bond is well know for being a fucking tool.
