Who wouldn't get tired? There needs to be a subr*ddit for watches over $5000 only.

Where can I cop something like a slimline Luch but actually recently-manufactured?

This is the Mayor of Sheffield, UK.

What watch is he wearing?

>>13493798
Casio DBC611G-1D

>>13493668

>>13493689
That's the signature of the nitrile rubber used by Bonetto Cinturini. They are pretty good straps, but I think the rubber used by Borealis is softer.

>>13493795

>>13493795
You could look at the timex Marlin, although the movement quality is pretty eh for the price.

>>13493802
Are those bracelets still wrist hair pluckers?

>>13493814
Oh no you didn't.

this is cool

If I wanted to get a vintage Seiko, which movements would be the most likely to be able to service if something broke?

And which ones might just last forever?

>>13493911
The 5740c is often highlighted as a good, affordable vintage movement with lots of parts and donor movements available. Early 36k vph movement, lots of interesting dial styles. A few wt regulars own one.

>>13493763
Faggot.

Are there websites that talk about clocks the same way lots of watch websites that review and shill watches do?

$500 budget for first automatic. Should I get a sarb before the price goes up anymore?

>>13493958
Seiko is a great first automatic. they're the most watch for the money and their cost of service is low

>>13493958
That's a good question

>>13493958
Yes, don't ever buy another watch cheaper than that, though. You'll be disappointed with anything cheaper after the SARB

>>13493909
thanks anon

>>13493958
It's a safe bet, if you like it then I say yes. I had the white one for a while, eventually I sold but it was a very nice watch.

>>13494041
more cream than white

>>13493911
I'll dig up one of my old run downs for you later, but the short version is:

Reliable and cheap(ish) to acquire and cheap(is) to get donors for if you need parts:
Lord Marvel 5740C
LM Special 5206/5216
King Seiko 5245/5246/5256

Not cheap to buy or maintain, but great:,
701x Chronographs
King Seiko 45xx

There are a lot of vintage Seikos outside of this that people collect but which are highly prone to movement issues and should be avoided unless you are prepared for the headaches such as the 613x chronographs and essentially all other mid range and up Suwa mechanical calibers besides the 5740C.

>>13494044
I wouldn't say it's yellowy enough to call cream, but it is off-white. Some of the product photos online are really bad and make it look piss yellow but it's not.

>>13494064
Id rather just save some and get pic related

I unironically prefer shit tier quartz watches to expensive automatics

>>13494113
Me too when I’m in for something over the top or unusual I couldn’t possibly afford in mechanicals.

>>13494081
I have 3 of your little retarded cousins.

>>13494118

>>13493757
>And that's a good thing

Is there such a thing as a movement that will last a lifetime? Or at least, lasts decades and is so easy to take apart and oil up a caveman can do it.

>>13494114

>>13494195
The Seiko 9F has a quoted service interval of fifty years, and should just need some basic oiling. Other than that, a 6497 probably qualifies, as literally every watchmaker has learned on it and parts for it will be available forever.

>>13493668

>>13493668

>>13493689
That's the ray 2 yeah? I'm looking at getting one but all the pictures make it look TURBOBLUE

>>13494381
It looks like a nice color, anon. You can always just get black if you want boring.

Should I cop preowned for $500?

I feel like Mido is just for preppy Asians at this point though.

Really dig the sarb, but hung up on color choice. How off is the white? Is there a hex code or something? Not normally into black faces, but if the white is really bad I'd consider it.

>>13494496
Was also considering a vintage king seiko like a 5626-7000T. Is that more of a sport or dress watch? Looking for a daily.

>>13494451
Is mido still offering Chronometer certified 2892s for a ridiculously good price or they moved to powermatic?

>>13494510
Suwa seikosha mechanicals outside the 5740c are wt-unapproved.
>>13494052

Okie doke. A few questions.

I'm really digging the Stowa Flieger watches, and I've seen some people on here post about them. It seems to have a good report with /wt/. Is this the consensus?

Secondly. Tudor vs Rolex. What is the real difference? Is there actually $4k difference in build quality or is it all paying in to heritage and status? I have a weird calling to own a Rolex but to justify 5k or more on a watch...well I just wish I knew more. I love watches and I respect them, I think they are one of the best accent pieces to any outfit.

Fill me in daddy.

>>13494524
Right on man. What's the best resource for learning more about vintage seikos? watchuseek?

Morning lads

>>13494546
well I can't speak for /wt/ but I'm the owner of the Stowa. I absolutely love it and I've hardly taken it off since I got it. The blued hands are stunning and personally I've not seen any other case back that compares to it in this price range. Though an ETA, its got some lovely decoration and the Stowa branding is very tasteful. The whole thing is very understated which is what I like, I'm not one to show off and I feel it suits me perfectly, with the real detail being appreciated up close. If you enjoy classic design and a legible dial its definitely a good option. Lastly, the lume on it has really impressed me. I've never had anything of the tier of omega/rolex, but the lume on this easily beats every seiko I've had/seen both in brightness and lasting glow. Its also hand applied and done so very well. Obviously as a now owner I am biased, but I can honestly say that in my experience its hard to find the same level of care and attention at this price range. Lastly, the company itself has been great. I had several questions and a simple request for strap sizing and swapping, which they responded to within hours every time. They have a good warranty policy and its hard to find anything negative said about them online.

>>13494608
didn't mean to say lastly twice

>>13494608

Thank you for your insight :) they seem like they are well built. What model did you end up getting? show a picture of the face?

>>13494632
sorry I just have this crap picture from my phone of the front (I'll be taking a few better ones with my camera this weekend). I have the flieger klassik 40 hand wound

>>13494702
sorry anon I don't have a Type B, but if I end up getting one I'll post it

anyone recommend a watch with blue lume
and I really mean blue, not bluegreen

>>13494729
maybe Ball with blue tritium? be careful looking for blue lumes as many show up more blue than the real green in photos. That and the Israelites are a cunning bunch

Working on an old man's 1971 Seiko 5 7006. So far what it definitely needs is a new rotor, the weight has fallen off the rotor bearing. But I got a bunch of 7000-series laying around, I'll just lift one out. The 7006 rotor is sterile though, with no markings, I'll try to find another unmarked one.

Pic is before cleaning. That brown stuff on the winding wheel is probably old lubricant, I'll be checking it out whether that needs replacing too, but so far the movement is okay.

>>13494783
keep up the good posts anon

I think the 7006 is one of the first 7000-series movements, and as such has the most primitive day mechanism. No quickset, just an extra layer on the date driving wheel with a finger, an indexing spring, a retaining C-clip, and a single-language day wheel. Only the date is quicksetting.

Here's the single language date wheel which is pretty unusual for any Jap watch. But like I said this was the very first generation of this movement series.

what was my boy Joaquin wearing?

>>13494783
What's the deal with seiko rotors? I've a 2012 seiko and I thought it was broken because the rotor is audible. Now I'm not so sure because my brand new seiko 5 rotor is so bloody loud it makes the other one seem quiet.

Still has potential because you mugs get raped with vat for buying these through more legit means

Postage just might be a bit. We could half it.

>>13494858
The polished hands on the black dial put me off. They really are solid watches. The quality difference between my sarb035 and the early 90's datejust i just bought is hardly noticeable

>>13494546
>Tudor vs Rolex
tudor exists because rolex wanted to sell to people who were willing to pay a lot, but not enough for a rolex. they're manufactured in the same facilities as rolex, have about the same degree of finishing, typically have the same quality of materials/metals, and historically have shared a lot of the same designs/parts.

tudor just used cheaper ETA movements to cut costs and also not cannibalize pappa rolex's market share. they've become more autonomous lately, designing and manufacturing their own calibers and producing more watches that aren't just homages to the rolex version. modern tudor is more of their own brand now than ever before.

tl;dr yes tudor is still basically a babby rolex, but modern ones less so. they're excellent watches, a great entry into luxury watches, and are definitely worth considering. but if you want the brand name, you're better off saving and picking up a used OP or datejust.

t. faggot with a few rolex that appreciates tudors as well

Still going at the 7006.

It has an early weird date wheel from yellowed plastic.

>>13494886
Honestly modern in-house Tudor models fill the niche of high grade tool watch that Rolex used to occupy before they became jewelry pieces.

What do you guys think? The logo moves around to act as the seconds hand.

Looks okay so far, it seems to be running strong, but these two-spoke balance wheels can be deceiving for some reason.

>>13494903
Wow, the balance wheels on those only have two spokes? Interesting.

>>13494897
I agree. I'm a big fan of the new bb58s they've put out for this year and it's cool to see them make a rivet bracelet that doesn't suck.

>>13494863
how much m8? I'm on the US west coast.

>>13494904
What, even the new 7S26, 4R35, 6R15 etc. will have roughly the same balance.

As a matter of fact a lot of parts are completely unchanged (they have the same part number) since the late 60's/early 70's.

Im the australian selling the sarb035. Im going to bed. Had a big day at work. Watch is in pretty good condition. Only scuffs on the bracelet that can be easily polished out

The box is retardedly big but I love this watch.

>tfw I'm 24 with his hairline

Whats a similar looking watch I could buy? I bought this Timex Chronograph & was disappointed with the build quality when the crystal cracked within 2 days.

>>13494955
>the crystal cracked within 2 days.
How clumsy are you, my friend

>>13494957
Not at all, I've actually never cracked any of my other watches. My oldest watch being a 4 year old Seiko Chronograph.

>>13494944
Good for you.
Looks fantastic. At least it’s not another fucking diver, Jesus Christ.

How do I set date on this slav shitter? 2614.H.

>>13494967
You jizz in it I believe.

>>13494967
You pull out the windyknob and turn it in the direction that puts the hand fowrward in clockwise.

>>13494969
I'll jizz in you if you know what I mean.
>>13494971
Yeah but how do I quick set that shit? Crown has only 2 positions.

>>13494965
Thanks bro.
It’s a ubiquitous watch but I’m digging it.

>>13494973
>how do I quick set that shit?
You don't

>>13494973
There's no quick set. You wind past midnight, then wind back to around 21.00 (the date wheel will jump when you've gone far enough), then past midnight again. Repeat until you're at the desired date.

>>13494983
I thought it might be the case but it didn't work. Date does jump normally by going past midnight though. I guess the "quick set" is broken?

>>13494985
There's no quick set, by going back to before 21.00-ish you're just engaging the date change mechanism as if it were the end of the day. If it's not working you need to wind back a bit further, maybe to 20.00

>>13494987
Huh, I moved it till fucking 6 and it didn't work. I'm just calling that method "quick set" because that's what vostok manual says too. I'll try it again later.

1976 Orient. It was my fathers 18th birthday main present. Bought a new strap for it and im considering changing the plexi...

Runs quite well considering age and that it got sea water inside some 20 years ago.

>>13495010
Orient topboy here. It's an alright "overseas" model. The cal 469 movement is bomb-proof, it can go 20 more years without problems. Nothing to write home about tho. You can polish the plexi, it's not going to be perfect but it's a lot easier and cheaper than getting one that fits properly.

>>13495059
Do Australian toilets really swirl backwards

>>13495062
ayyyy

>>13494965
There is a reason why divers and "diver-style" watches are so successful. There look good, are life-proof, good lume, and usually have useful yet simple features such as date and a rotatin bezel. From kitchen to beach, passing throught the office or outdoors job.

>>13495083
Am I the only one who thinks divers look ugly? With the exception of people who dive with them, who probably constitute 1% of all owners, they serve no real purpose and seem to be tacky hipster fashion like neon shoes and black rimmed glasses. Why do people like thick dials with ugly numbers plastered on them?

>>13495083
You lost me at the first argument.

>dials with ugly numbers plastered on them?
Are you seriously using "dials with numbers on them" as criticism of a watch?

>>13495116
no thank you it is too hot for a leather strap

>>13495119
leather straps aren't hot but at least try a perlon or something else.
pls for love of god stop wearing that with a nato

>>13495129
i'd prefer not to sweat into a leather strap all day when i'm out and about

i had a perlon on yesterday but swapped it out this morning. the nato is just too comfy

>>13495102
those loops you have to make for the excess strap on a NATO are disgustingly hideous

>>13495132

in my personal experience in a watch shop, citizen has problems with their capacitors. they're fine as long as they get constant light, but will quit very easily if they go a few weeks w/o light

>>13495313
Capacitors? You mean batteries? I own two casio solars and both have been going strong so far

I have two watches from the 70s but only one decent strap that suits both of them? I can't seem to find another metal strap in this style.
What other straps would work with the one on the right?

>>13493668

>>13495338
Keep looking or when in doubt, Nato straps

>>13495338
I'd say something rubber

>>13495329
*pushes up nerd glasses*
technically, they call their cells capacitors and not cells or batteries.

with regular light, those things will last 10-20 years, which is great. but without light, I've seen dozens need to be replaced within their first year. just a little too unreliable for my taste

any good flieger-styled watches under $200? pls no Seiko 5

>>13495404
a Seiko is the only mechanical you would want at that price point.

Are microbrands like aevig, scurfa, and gavox any good?

>>13495388
Yea I was thinking of that. I am wondering if any color than black would work.

>>13495407

>>13495180
I'm going to wear it anyway nugga.

Anyways how's this? I think it would suit the style but there's the risk that it's too thicc and owerpowers the small watch.

What are people's opinion on Rolex vs. Omega? I feel like I'm going to get a lot of bias from both sides but to me it seems like they are both built very well and at about the same cost. Rolex seems to get more flashy and gaudy at the higher levels but in terms of build quality and movement, which one takes the cake?

>>13495439
>suit the style
suit the lack of style you mean

>>13495432
>>13495438
there's a few good ones like Mercer and Obris Morgan

>>13495441
I don't like the way both of them whore out their stuff. There are a million different speedmasters it's beyond a joke and there are almost 70,000 rolexes for sale on chrono 24 right now. They're not as exclusive as I'd like them to be for that price.

they have different versions of that dial, you can get it with a subdial at 6, like this

>>13495507

>>13495496
Junghans Max Bill ftw.

>>13495441
Rolex vs Omega
>in terms of build quality and movement, which one takes the cake?

Rolex by far is superior in it's build quality and it's movement. Rolex is designed to be repairable forever. both their cases and their movements, anything that can go wrong, can be corrected. Rolex however, is very rigid in their design. so if you want something unique, or a certain complication (like a fucking day/date in something other than gold or plat ffs), that's where an Omega is more attractive. you can get cooler things with Omega, but they will not be as hardy as the Rolex, not by a mile.

to illustrate the point, a Rolex 40years old has higher QC standards post-service than anything from the same time period. a 15xx Rolex is still expected to be accurate to within -1/+10 sec/day with a maximum variation between positions (delta) of 25. that's rolex's own spec. Swatch group doesn't even give us a required spec on anything older than 20years or so. Omegas new stuff will probably be very comparable, they've stepped their game up, but the after sales service infrastructure of tools and parts that Rolex has in place means that a Rolex will ALWAYS be restorable

t. friendly neighborhood watchmaker, working in a Rolex and Omega authorized service center

>>13495512
12 because of triangle for if you use the watch to orientate. 3 and 9 maybe too...

Unnecesary in any case, but i think that might be the original reason.

>>13495522
If they're going to go with numbers don't fuck around just do it. When they go all half assed like that it looks retarded.

>>13495521
But bear in mind Rolex rips you off with their service prices too.

Also, the finishing and refinement of old Omegas is a lot above same age Rolexes. Not to mention bracelets. And this is true mostly up to de 2000s. Then Rolexes started to sharpen up, but their prices doubled too...

And now the newer co-axials look a lot more high tech than Rolex again... but the performance and durability is still to be proven...

I like both.

>>13495443
Imagine being this angry at a wristwatch.

>>13495541
Imagine lacking a counter argument so badly that you have to resort to calling the other person angry

>>13495525
they also have a flieger watch that looks like this

Wrist check?

Thoughts on this?

>>13495565
Im going to the gym right now.

>>13495156
That was me too.

Does Seiko still service movements they don't make anymore?

>>13495580
Only for a decade. If you want a watch that you can keep for a lifetime, don't buy Seiko. Buy swiss, because the ETA movements have been made for a long time.

>>13494973
>>13494967
there is a quickset, it's just that the slavs hid it in plain sight. For the 2614.H you pull the crown out to the setting position and then pull it out again to advance the date by one day. With day/date versions it's the same but there's no quickset for the day.

>>13495580
Seiko guarantees parts availability for 10 years after the movement is discontinued, and the stock of parts is likely to last at least 30-50 years after that. You can still get many parts for Seiko movements made in the 1960s and 1970s, you just can't get them from Seiko directly anymore.

>>13495588
That's incorrect.

>>13495588
You can take a Seiko to an independent watchmaker however.

>>13495565
Rare

>>13493814
Pure class, my friend.

Im in the market for a small sports watch and have noticed that in my area 1970s Rolex 1501 34mm run for about the same as a brand new Tudor BB36...

I know that Tudor is "only" ETA 2824 no date (Top). But is considering a Rolex worth it?

Pic, a 1501.

>>13495618
Poo in the shitter

>>13495624
I'd take a BB58 over that shit.

>>13495532
Omega has gone downhill and Rolex has stepped up their game a lot over the last several decades. Some Omegas today are pretty nice but they also put out a lot of shit and some of their technology like the early coaxial escapements is kind of questionable. Meanwhile today's Rolex might have some watches that are absolutely disgusting ugly shit only a billionaire sheikh could love, but you can't deny that every watch they make is built and finished to an extremely high standard and they're conservative with adopting tech but when they do it they do it well.

>>13495624
No idea about movement but that looks better than any Tudor ever will be.

>>13495640
yeah it's a poo in loo, but managed to avoid frankenwatching as far as i'm aware. I bought it as a beater automatic and it's done a breddy good job, plus I like the novelty of owning a Ricoh

>>13495650
I already own several divers, and want something dresier and like 36mm this time.

The BB58 is very nice, but not what im looking for now.

>>13495662
Can't you get a more modern OP or Datejust? To be honest I just hate that bezel on that Rolex.

>>13495668
I could. Im considering many other options too.

Just comparing those two here because i find interesting that they cost almost the same and i happen to like the BB36.

Anon is clearly uneducated and doesn't understand watches.

>>13495432
Aevig is good.

>>13495624
I would rather have a 1570/75 than an eta.

that said: 31xx > MT5xxx > 32xx/30xx/22xx/21xx > 15xx > eta > 20xx

This or a Milgauss?

>>13495923
Milgauss

>>13495923
I prefer the Omega.

But with the current Rolex hype... if you plan to sell it some day buy the Milgauss.

>>13495923
I would rather buy this

Where the fuck AM I supposed to find decent seiko modding dials?

>>13495893
> 31xx>32xx
Why?

>>13495931
>>13495931
What current Rolex hype

>>13495981
I should correct that I would put the MT5xxx and the 32xx on the same level.

but the 31xx is my favorite movement ever. the 32xx and the 2236 are moving toward disposable parts. in the 31 and earlier, Rolex service recommends replacing the mainspring every service. not really my style, but at least you *can* reuse it if you're not doing factory service. the 32 and 2236 Rolex asks to replace the entire mainspring barrel. they don't even make winders for the new barrels. the 32 also switches to a ballbearing unit for it's autoweight. which has it's advantages, don't get me wrong, I just prefer the old arbor style because I like components that can be fixed or replaced w/o special tools.
and finally, the 3136 uses the parachrom hairspring, which is my favorite. (the 32 might still use parachrom) but the 2236 uses silicon. which, again, has it's advantages, but cant be worked on in the event of damage, silicon just breaks and gets replaced

the 3156 is my unicorn.

>>13493798
So you can never accidentally buy that watch, right...right?

>>13495923
3131 milgauss

>>13496000
Interesting, thanks

world time

>>13496000
trips confirm 3156 best movement ever?

>>13495546
>counter argument
Lack of style is not an argument

>>13495650
Wish my bunny was still alive.
Take good care of your buddy.
He’s more important than your wasted money.

>>13495788
Jesus.
You don’t even need to unbuckle it.

>>13496095
Rabbit is like $6/lb

>>13496104
So is your mom.
What’s your point /g/aylord?

>>13496105
>So is your mom
No you misread he didn't say $6/BJ

>>13496097
...what?

>>13495788
you should go outside more

>>13496143
I SAID JESUS YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO UNBUCKLE IT!

>>13495219
eco-drive is amazing, i want another one but i still want a Seiko SKX for the longest time

>>13496199
Get your Seiko, Anon. And taste the mechanical rainbow.

>>13496233
Is dat sum lume?

>>13495102
THE BUCKLES DON'T MATCH THE CASE FINISH YOU FUCKING RETAAAAAAARD

If fashion follows function, then which watches embody this idea the best?

Just paid a watchmaker $110 to put a NH36 in my SKX. I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on whether that's a good price. He charged 50 for the movement, 20 for crown and stem, and 40 for labor. I could have sourced my own for 35 but didn't think it was worth the hassle for 15$

A guy has posted it here twice, what is the casio that looks like a F-91W , but it has green/red on the face and the band has holes? can't find the model #

>>13496413
The Grohl

>>13496413
Dressy sports watches.

>>13496179
Huh? I don't get it.

>>13496559
So, you're talking Orient Ray/Mako, Seiko 5, Stowa Fleiger, Tudor BB?

>>13496602
None of those really fit that

>>13496440
$15 for no hassle sounds good, plus it gives the watchnaker peace of mind that you didn't order the wrong thing

>>13496601
he's saying your bracelet is loose

>>13496602
Really I am talking about watches like the Datejust. It can easily be both dressy as well as casual depending on the configuration and practical with 100m WR screw lock crown.

>>13496683
What? You're not making sense.

ok /wt/.

who makes the best movement for a flieger watch?

I'm honestly amazed at how atrociously bad Seiko/Orient finishing is considering how often they are shilled here.

>>13496837
It is admittedly shoddy. At their price points can you name anything better though?

>>13496843
Why would someone even buy a watch at their price points? If you're buying an Orient watch it's because you like the look of it (it's mechanical, it's unnecessary), not because you need a watch. Why not just work harder/save longer and buy a watch worth having?

>>13496845
What watch is worth having?

>>13496847
Rolex Sub, Brosnan Seamaster, MOTFM, BB.

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head, maybe there are more though.

>>13496845
Because not every watch worth having is made by autistic mountain jews. Why would I want to bash around a 5k watch day to day, when I would be perfectly happy with one a tenth that.

>>13496852
Why would you buy a watch to "bash" around in in the first place if you can't afford a 5K watch at all?

>>13496848
Are your choices entirely decided by what is popular? No VC, JLC, ALS? The only watches you consider worth having just happen to be the most famous watches in the world?

>>13496861
What's the point in buying a watch that doesn't also show how wealthy you are? Normies don't know what Patek or VC are.

>>13496864
Then boy do I have the watch for you

>>13496848
what is MOTFM? I did a google search and it only came up with omega moon watches...

>>13496872
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

ON THE FAKIN

MOOOOOOOOONN

>>13496872
That's what it is you dolt.

>>13496872
>googles something
>hits the answer to his question

>>13496876
>always shitting on watches that aren't Rolex as being for poor people
>drinks Glenlivet
I knew he was a hack but this just cements it.

>>13496933
He has no business wearing a rolex at all honestly. Perfect example of someone who are spending too much money on watches compared to his net worth.

START BUYING TUDOR WATCHES AND OTHER TUDOR PRODUCTS YOU FUCKING CUNTS

So now you're spamming blacked porn on the /fa/ thread as well? It isn't just about /g/, you crave attention and are that mad at everyone else for knocking your fake.

>>13496949
We already are buying tudor.

>>13496964
Of course it wasn't about /g/, he was just opportunistic when he noticed that mods were reacting the way they were.

What does /wt think of the Bathyscaphe Chrono. I wasn’t sure about the looks at first but they’re growing on me. Then there is the movement.
>free sprung balance
>36K bph
>flyback
>column wheel and vertical clutch

The movement is literally perfect.

>>13496964
Nah, currently working over here.

>>>/sp/85816419

>>13495993
The one that has been on for the last decade or so.

>>13496972
I fucking knew it. Kill yourself.

>>13496987
kek

>>85816773
>>85816773
Oh I see, the exact same issue he's having with affordable watches, and when people are posting about F3 instead of F1. Lmao.

That's why he used the F1/F3 analogy the other day when complaining about people posting seikos.

>>13496995
There is literally no defence for discussing motorsports other than F1 in the F1 general you dumb cuck.

>>13497001
Feeder series are a part of the F1 weekend. You wouldn't talk about a roast without talking about the veges you had with it.

>>13497001
Well, I can certainly understand that, since that particular general is about F1 specifically, and it even says so in the topic. I'm just saying that I can see a pattern now and it's sort of funny.

>>13497001
Rakesh you want a pizza? What places still accept orders from you?

>>13497011
Now you see that my job is to make the generals of 4chan a better place.

>>13497031
You have a lot more work to do on /g/ which is why you said you got us kick out. Go back.

>>13497031
You are a caped crusader of shitposting.
You make them worse honestly. Especially when you resort to posting porn webms when you don't get it your way.

Convince me not to get this pls.

In was told this is the new F1 thread. When's GP2 on?

>>13497039
I can't. I think it's a nice watch. What's the price?

>>13496819
I second this question

>>13497039
4.30 date windows tickle my autism

>>13496819
Depends. Do you care about it being one of the original five makers? IWC might have an in house version.

>>13497074
YES
Jesus fuck

>>13496911
>>13496894
>>13496876

So is it specifically to omega watches or can it be any face with a moon-dial thing on it?

>>13497085
Wtf?

Where do you have been the last 50 years anon?

Or just trolling?

>>13497085
Lurk more

>>13497088
>>13497093

Not trolling. Stop being hornets and explain it better. MOTFM brings up very few watches, they happen to be omega. Is it just watch lover consensus that it stands for man on the fucking moon?

Yeah, I'm new. There was a day when you didn't know either

>>13497039
Save for a MOTFM or a Navitimer.

>>13497101
Ok. Lets be nice...

The Omega Speedmaster is called (some versions) the Man on the Moon because is the wristwatch NASA issued to the first astronauts that flew to the Moon.

>>13497101
>Yeah, I'm new. There was a day when you didn't know either
True but instead of asking stupid fucking questions I lurked for a bit. Kys.

>>13497109
>Lets be nice
Fuck that, the cunt should lurk more. Kys yourself fuckah

>>13497101
bulova moon watch
Omega speedmaster
A Waltham of some description and a Rolex GMT master iirc have also been on the moon

>>13497109
>>13497118
Thank you for the info, much appreciated :)

>>13497104
First time in years someone talked about this.
Are you new?

>>13497101
The MOTFM = "Man On The Fucking Moon"
This is short for that phrase which is something a meme guy on the youtube calls the speedmaster moonwatch. The moonwatch is sometimes called Man on the moon, but the F is inserted to imitate that meme guy on youtube who always says "Fucking"

MAAAAN ON THE FAKKKIIIIIIN MOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOooOoOoooon

>>13497049
Around 2k I believe

>>13497193
Oh I see. In that case I'd at least buy it second hand so that it would be cheaper.

What's in this box? Maybe a shiny new cocktail?

Oh

show me the lume

>>13497198
>>13497200
Nice!

New

>>13497220
>>13497220
>>13497220

>>13496981
Would that not create a ton of supply and drive future used prices down

>>13496866
but is it quartz or auto?

>>13494944
Man on the fucking moon

>>13495083
Literally no one not really into watches care that divers have good lume. Do you think that even a third of people who buy a Submariner have seen a lume-shot?
What possible use is good lume for "desk-divers"?

Gifted this, post is stuck, how much would it cost to fix?

Nevermind I didn't realize it had a screw down crown.
