We all need to do our part to keep these permatrolls in check

>>13787372
So TGV does have some nice pieces in his collection.

Cop or not this casio shitter for 60 eurobucks?

>>13787549
no, looks like a womens watch

>>13787567
Okay, recommend me a rectangular dress watch that's cheap.

>>13787581

which one today, /wt/

>>13787619
The bagel homage

So I did a lume mod on the a914.

Does anyone know anything about this watch? Or is it just another Rolex knockoff from the old days?

>>13787686

>>13787689
As bright as my future

>>13787697
I feel sorry for you anon.
Reason why I did it to this watch is because the bulb is so shit, even the f91w has better backlight

What the FUCK! I just got this watch two months ago, and somehow this morning I look and find a scratch on the front glass, how the fuck do I fix this?

>>13787728
It's God's way of telling you to get a better watch.

>>13787688
Low-grade piece of shit. Probably a pin-pallet BFG movement. The "DAT" next to the date window pretending to be a day complication from afar is a huge red flag.

I see these type of old shitters on fleamarkets sometimes and I never bother with them.

>>13787728
that sucks, time to get a real watch with sapphire glass.

>>13787739
It says date and it has a day complication. It was made in Hong Kong but since its really old maybe there was some quality to it or something.

>>13787756
I have a Movado my father gave me but its gold band seemed too tacky to wear. I got shit on once by a professor who told me never to wear a gold watch

>>13787772
That professor is a faggot for telling another man what to
wear and you're equally a faggot if you didn't tell him to fuck off.

pic related was the watch i had. It's pretty 90s but i liked how lightweight it was

>>13787788

>>13787788
and a rare photo of my dad wearing the watch back in 1995

>>13787814
Your dad has good taste...

In women

>>13787771
No there wasn't. It's shit, accept it.

>>13787788
I think I'm autistic because I look at watches on the internet all day but it takes me a long time to read this watch. I like comfy Arabic numerals

are the round g-shocks all big as a motherfucker?

>>13787842
If your wrist isn't 7.5in and if your arms aren't super hairy you'll look like a kid. Get a 5600 square model

>>13787846
the only classic dw5600 available on my country's amazon is sold by these guys, it's the only item they're selling lol
bezos is just there with his dick in his hand wtf is he doing

There is also the solar ones to choose from but I'm not a sun cuck

>>13787815
based

>>13787372
Does /wt/ wear their watch facing out or in?

>>13787549
There's something about the shaping on the lugs that I despise

>>13787619
I've honestly never liked any of these watches. I don't like gente's design language so the ap and pp are out the window, and the VC would look alright if they hadn't made the bezel look like a weaboo throwing star

>>13788093
Fine, I won't get it. But rec me a good alternative. Not this one >>13787597. Has to be longer than it is wide, and silver steel, not gold and no painted plastic shitters.

>>13788101
Not fantastic but certainly nicer

>>13788101
get a LeCoultre Reverso

Not sure if ugly or beautiful

>>13788123
Looks like a puddle of jizz under a blacklight

>>13787814
Your dad is also a faggot for buying and wearing that piece of shit.

Why does Timex look like a budget Casio to me?

Hello wt

>>13788204
hallo snek man

the pontiff has spoken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGuS7dd36cQ

Customer brought in a quartz shitter for a battery change, it turned out that a new battery wasn't enough, so I told him it would take some time to inspect it.
Turns out the gears were full of some gunk and wouldn't spin freely. I told the customer to leave it here and pick it back in a couple of days.
I proceed to clean the gears in ultrasonic and start to assemble the watch. The bridge wont go on. Continue trying to get the bridge on, no luck, it's like it was cursed.. After two hours I got fed up and binned the watch.
Fucking quartz shitters and fucking idiots who bring those to watchmakers.

Do they still make the casio aq230 with a stainless steel case? A lot of websites say the case is made of stainless steel, but there is a difference in colour when you compare the case with the strap.

>>13787728

>>13788123
works well in apocalyptic scenario

>>13787728
hahahahah

>>13788342
It is stainless steel, trust me.

>>13788366
Casio's website says it's resin.

>>13788342
Nope

>>13788320
Seems like you don't know how to do your job.

>>13788377
They lie

>>13788320
So what are you going to replace it with?

>>13788390
I sent him a message that the stepper motor was broken and that there is no replacement for it.

>>13787171
That is one nice looking penis, guy.

>>13788384

Nothing a bit of polywatch can’t handle.

>>13788425
Polywatch isn't for mineral crystals. Honestly that skagen watch should just go in the trash where it belongs.

>>13788436
With all the other digitals?

>>13788436
>>13788425
I just ordered some polywatch, should I return it? how the hell do i know if my skagin uses acrylic or mineral crystal?

>>13788445
You can tell it uses a mineral crystal because it's a dogshit fashion watch with no actual merit of any kind.

>>13788440
Exactly!

What do you guys think of cork watch straps?

Saw this article on Hodinkee (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/just-because-portuguese-cork-watch-straps)), and it sounds really interesting. Something durable and original to wear with your wristwatch. Doesn't look bad either.

>>13788690
Posting a dark brown version aswell. I think I like this one more

>>13788690
Kinda cool. Only problem I could see is that when it gets dirty it stays dirty. I'd be curious to see how one looks after a year of daily wear.

>>13788695
from this thread: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f222/quick-strap-review-cork-portugal-859917.html

Update on my strap:
Worn the strap 4-5 times per week for ~18hour stretches for nearly two months. Daily exposure to water (hand washing), sun, and sweat (it's hot)-- overall the strap gets a workout. I have a "light with light stitching", pics are on the other thread.

ZERO signs of wear or degradation.
Band is clean and unstained.
Color has mellowed slightly.
As comfortable as my Sinn calf strap.
Easy to clean back to original sheen with damp, lightly soaped cloth.
Strap is compatible with Sinn deployant strap.
Verdict: Superb product at twice the price. Great alternative to canvas, synthetics, and miles above a leather in the price bracket. Amazing craftsmanship, great material, really cannot say enough great things about it.
Buy one and enjoy having something truly "yours".

>>13788836
also are those $70 leather watch straps from places like this a meme? or is the quality actually pretty good?

another thing I forgot to ask.

Recommendations on all gold watches? Are they strictly for the scumbag look or can they be pulled off unironically?

I don't know a whole lot about watches, but I'm trying to find a new one for daily wear.

What do you think about either of these? I'm an art director at an outdoor company if that helps. Most people just wear jeans and flannel.

no

This is actually super helpful, I appreciate you putting that together.

>>13789038
Both are timex, one is the weekender, the other is an "explorer", whatever that means. I think one was $40, the other $50.

>>13789044
I do like that one a lot, the hours within seconds setup is neat.

So many to choose from! I can see how you might wind up with more than one.

>>13789047
Explain.

Who wore it best?

how are Aristo watches?

I'm looking for pilot watch, preferably a quartz one (for accuracy and pick up and go purposes). plus i don't want to worry about watch servicing and stuff

clearest dial too if possible.

any better options out there

>>13787619
Give me the nautilus, but with a simpler dial

>>13788997
Check out Russian watches or Hamilton.

how tight are you supposed to wear regular 2pc watch bands?

I'm used to metal bracelets so don't mind it sliding up and down my wrist a little.

are leather bands supposed to sit similarly where when you shake your wrist a bit the watch will move a little?

>>13789277

Clickbait news keep using the "fact - opinion" format for their titles - and it needs to fucking stop.

Is it even possible to upgrade beyond a Man-On-the-Fucking-Moon on leather?

>>13789431
Yeah, just get a watch with decent finishing in a civilized size with no meme complications.

>>13789438
True dat.

>>13789438
:^)

Thoughts on Vincero watches?

>>13789431
It's not a dress watch in the classical sense by any means. But it is stylish.

>>13789531
Cheap quality
ETA movement
Overpriced
No heritage
Fashion watch.

>>13789533
>Cheap quality
It's called affordable
>ETA movement
That's a plus
>Overpriced
It is affordable when you compare it to other watches with similar looks and finishing
>No heritage
True, but you can't get everything at the same time with this price
>Fashion watch
Started as a fashion watch focused on high quality and finishing, I would say they are more than the average fashion watch

>>13789531
>>13789539
every fucking thread you shill your gay fucking shitter watches i hope your whole family get cancer you stupid nigger. this board is full of retards but unfortunately they are not dumb enough to buy your shitty 2$ quartz watches. kill yourself

>>13789539
I think it boils down to if you like the look of it then get it. But it still doesn't negate the fact this brand is nothing special. And falls into the same gatgory of mvmt and DW. No matter how good their marketing is, it still a cheap quality watch.
Style over substance.

>>13789531
ITS A FUCKING SHITTER YOU PHUCKER. HAVE YOU GOT SHIT RATTLING AROUND IN YOUR TINY HEAD INSTEAD OF BRAINS? ITS A FUCKING SHITTER.

>>13789539
That's very reassuring, I was worried that I got ripped off when I bought a Vincero. It really is high quality, pic related is my Vincero.

>>13789431
yes a motfm on a FUCKING METAL BRACELET. why would you put a steel stunner of a fucking pelt you fuck head?

>>13789570

[YOU]

shut the fuck up those watches are garbage. They cost maybe 10 dollars to make sell for more than 10 times that. They are oversized, poorly finished, use poor materials, and are shit all around. They compete with ali express quartz watches and you are a massive faggot for talking to yourself.

>>13789577
You're just jealous, I get a lot of compliments on my vincero.

>>13789574
>>13789578
fuck off and die tudor fag

>>13789585
I'm not tudorfag. My Vincero has a swiss movement and a sapphire crystal and it was only 160 euro's, so go fuck yourself.

>>13789589
Fucking told him anon.
I get that vincero is a fashion watch and many watchfags hate them, but the autostic screetching in this thread is just over the top..

>>13787772
Fucking muslim professors.
>>13787781
Implying you could do that in sand countries.

thoughts?

>>13789611
I don't understand why "fashion watches" get so much hate, isn't a watch supposed to be a fashion accesory?

>>13789625
yes but fashion watches are ripoffs
I don't even get why DW and Vincero are even considered "fashion watches" since they're not even fashion brands

Is there any way to change the strap on this, or should I just get a new watch?

>>13789630
Enjoy wearing an autistic seiko sarb017 while I get compliments on my Vincero left and right and literally drown in pussy.

>>13789632
nah, gold diggers only care about rolex

>>13789632
I hope you do drown in pussy.
So we no longer have to deal with your shitposting in any more threads.

I can't believe some faggot is paid to advertise garbage like vincero on 4chan of all places

A deployant clasp.

What's a good watch box?

>>13789623
nigger watch, do not cop

you can only own 3 watches
1 on a leather strap, 1 one a rubber strap, 1 on a metal bracelet

which 3 watches do you choose with a $1800 budget?

Hey watchfags, any recommendation for a cheap men silvery skeleton watch ?

>>13789756
>Amphibia on a rally
>Amphibia on an Isofrane knockoff
>Amphibia on a solid jubilee

>>13789801

>>13789863
Well at least that looks like a Miyota and not a shitty Tongji-clone skeleton.

>>13789863
Thanks for the recommendation anon. Not a big fan of massive clock hands like that but they seem like a solid brand so I may overlook it. I have a slim arm so I may look at something a bit smaller because the contrast may look absurd.
pic related : What I would be looking into if my arm was a bit bigger.

Henlo watch noob here, when to wear leather strap vs metal?

>>13789901
why not get a non meme watch with an exhibition caseback instead

>>13789913
Leather straps can make a watch look dressier or more expensive. A cheap Seiko 5 on a new leather strap looks much better for example. A Speedmaster on a metal strap looks like a tool watch but on a leather strap it looks more formal.

A metal strap can be put on and taken off more quickly and it's more resistant to wear. It's main benefit is you don't have to worry about it getting wet. If you want to shower or swim while wearing a watch, metal is the way to go because natos are just hideous.

>>13789589
>my Vincero has a swiss movement
it's a fucking ronda, my dude

>>13790021

>>13790041
>buying a watch whose only heritage is being shilled by predatory youtubers
L E L

>>13790042
how much does it cost to buff a scrached watch face

>>13790046
Literally a toothbrush and some toothpaste.

>>13790042
polish it yourself

>>13789277
You should be able to slide one finger between the buckle and your wrist. You don't want it sliding, but you don't want it leaving an imprint on your wrist either.

>>13789631
Like on any other watch, I would imagine.

>>13789431
In my humble opinion, few watches if any are able to compete with it on being the coolest watch ever produced, regardless of wearing it on leather or bracelet.

>>13790232
>few watches if any are able to compete with it on being the coolest watch ever produced
Are you serious
It i (today) a basic, cam-operated, low-beat, non-hacking chronograph.

>>13790234
Yeah, movement is not the most modern, but it's just an incredible aesthetic and cool watch regardless.

Did someone say dress watches?
Also, post watches set to current date and time boys

>>13790234

Modern mechanical movement just feels fake for me. Those things should be reflection of past not present otherwise you can just go with gps synced citizen or seiko.

Archie is trying to sell his Patek because he can't afford to pay for the servicing, so they're holding the watch. He needs the deposit money to even pick it up from the store.

And if he doesn't get the money in a few months, they sell the piece on to recover their cost. Fucking KEK

>>13789572
>why would you put a steel stunner of a fucking pelt you fuck head?

>>13790362
has there ever been a bigger poser retard?

>>13790362
What does a service on a patek cost anyway?

>>13788831
I don’t want to spend most of my life savings, but never having been given anything from any dying relatives, I do think it’d be swell to leave a couple cool watches to my kids/grandkids when I go (i dont have either yet but my fiancee and I are catholic and thus want lots lf children)

I think it’d be coll to pass on some heirlooms, because it’s not like I can take any lf it with me when I go

>>13788913
How is that vostol treating you? Ive been thinking of getting one as kind of a beater/sports watch. Is it any good? I heard it feels cheap and it runs like 2 minutes fast a day

>>13789663
Absolutely it’s a quartz piece of shit, sorry fren

>>13790321
Absolutely comfy leaf checking in

>>13790393
Thousands. I mean, under 10 but probably around 5 depending on what they needed to do. Archie said his AP cost him 3 for servicing.

>>13790389
His taste is all over the place. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that undersized ugly fucking Patek. I'd get a Vacheron Overseas and blow the remainder on hookers and coke instead.

>>13790321
hello friend

Look what they brought me today for a basic acrylic crystal polish.

>>13790738
At first I though it was a shitty fake, but this was inside. It's a 5513 Submariner from the 60's.

>>13790738
Do you always post your envelopes online?

>>13790579
good for you leaf fren, it's important to be comfortable AND stylish. i like the strap you have, compliments the watch really well, very versatile!

>>13790731
oh SHIT negro, that is a beautiful watch!
what reference is that? i'm not really into vintage, but damn if that doesn't make me reconsider.

>>13787619
AP all the way

>>13790763
Oopsie daisy. Luckily that's just the edge of the repair sheet.

Either way, I don't want you niggers peeking at my repair sheets.

>>13790784
Nice. Are the endlinks as loose as they look? Is that just due to stretch over the decades?

>>13790790
The owner said it's not the original bracelet. Whether this means it's a repro, or just a bracelet from another Sub I don't know.

I also compared it side by side to my 70's Amphibia, the watch that was meant to be the commie equivalent to the Sub. Apart from the movement being light-years ahead, they really were roughly the same category.

Also I got this in for a crystal replacement. A modern Ingersoll, with a basic Miyota automatic movement. I guess they're just some microbrand with a resurrected name now.

Apparently the domed mineral crystal just cracked.

>>13790805
No wonder the fit is imperfect then. It's too bad the modern maxicase rolexes don't look as good as some of the older pieces despite being unarguably better made.

>>13790824
When I see pics of the maxicase Sub, all I can see is how undersized the hands are now to everything else.

>>13790731

>I'm not really into vintage

Good shit/10

But

Why?

>>13790841
Look man, if every vintage watch was as beautifully aged as the poster I originally replied to, or looked as great as that IWC, my stance would be different.
Unfortunately that's not the case, and many """""""""""vintage"""""""""""" watches are basically junk.

As it stands, vintage is a great way for the average watch enthusiast to be scammed out of hundreds of dollars by shady ESL vendors on ebay.

>>13790871
This.
It's why I prefer modern remakes of vintage watches.

>>13790855
You have to go back

Can't really decide if I'd want or use something with a chronograph, I guess I've got a phone for that.

>>13791187
>>13791186

Wh... what's wrong with Skagen?

>>13791190
The same thing that's wrong with every other dogshit fashion brand. No actual merit, priced at 10x (or more) than their actual worth, etc.

>>13791190
Nothing, as long as you plan on paying about $12 for it, given it has a technically bottom barrel movement

>>13791195
>>13791197

Ah. I see.

Maybe I will stick with one of the timex ones I was looking at up above. Cheaper too which is nice I guess.

I threw together a quick grid of watches I kind of like. I'm curious if anybody can recommend something from this grid, or something similar.

Trying to keep it mostly black (strap doesn't matter since I can switch that out) and less than $150.

>>13791387
all of these are fucking awful. please stop posting

I think this is a good guide and I appreciate that you took the time to make it. I do see a few flaws that you might consider updating. Why do you list the 7s26 as outdated on the skx but not on the seiko 5. With the seagull you might direct them to WUS instead of /wt/ but I respect your confidence in your fellow posters. Also perhaps it's above the point of the guide but isn't the value in that it's a column wheel not just that it's a manual wind chron. Surprised that you included tiger concepts here. Debatable that Yokobies is still the best seiko modder but that point aside if you're reading an imgur guide to pick your first watch you might not be comfortable emailing a guy in hong kong who's store is still just a photobucket account in 2018. Really like the selection and description for the digitals no complaints there. I see you threw a vostok on there but I think you might want to include either a generic 'russian dress watches' with a link to oatman's site a la your seiko 5 link, or alternatively do a few popular models like the poljot de luxe, Raketa Big 0, Maybe a Poljot 3133 etc.

Again great guide really enjoyed reading through it.

Explain.

>>13791436
I do. /fa/ is full of faggots.

Well I guess /g/ has fags too, buy they're quarantined in the mechanical keyboard threads.

Got a source? I'd love to see a video of him freaking out.

Those BUTT FAKKERS. It has to HURT! If it doesn't HURT then it's not REAL HOROLOGY!

>>13791395

Interestingly enough, I do like the look of the SNK809 a lot.

It seems like they're at or over $100 most places now. Still worth it?

What is a watch that will make my friends think I am rich?

>>13791436
Personally I'm a newfag to the watch thing and didn't know it used to be on /g/. It makes sense because I find the posters in this thread much more tolerable than the rest of the board. Its autism here, but its the kind of autism I'm used to.

It is worth it at that price. My first watch was a 7s26 and I was very happy with it. Wore it for two years before I got anything else. You can find it cheaper if you're willing to wait and hunt around (two of that model sold on watch exchange for 60$ in the last 10 days).

>>13791436
Yeah.

>>13791436
Where the fuck're the 2018 buying guides?

>>13791387
Don't listen to those telling you to get out. These watches look comfy. The people replying to you in autistic anger fail to grasp that not everyone see timepieces the same way they do. Some people just want watches that look good and nothing else, for accessory purposes. Many ITT don't have the wit to accept that, in other words they have shit for brains.

>>13788913

If you're ok with the blue one (snk807), skywatches has them for $69

Anyone know where I can buy beautiful tan leather straps that's not overpriced?

Which would you rather spend ~£2500 on?

>>13791891
Datejust if it's one of the linen dial ones, speedy if it's a hesalite crystal one.

After ten days, this run down quartz Memega Semenmaster finally cleared customs. Now all that's left is for it to reach me in another five days (at least), me to get raped by the government for customs monies, and then I'll be too sick to even look at it, let alone finally start restoring it.

>>13791891
Crazy.
I'd buy an f-91w and Seiko or Citizen quartz knockoff of the left and keep the rest of my dear money.

>>13791901
Why do you want to keep money?

>>13791892
£2500 doesn't stretch to neither a linen dial Datejust or a sapphire Speedy.

What is it with Snoopy on watches?

>>13791912
Safer and unfunnier than even Garfield.

>>13791436
Definitely. I've got a tab stack for each board I browse and this tab goes in the /g/ stack

>>13791907
There are better investment options than watches or other hedonistic pleasures.

>>13791461
these were selling for and are worth about 40 dollars

>>13791927
what are you investing it for? Is it not to spend more later?

A nice leather strap costs money. Labour, quality leather, good stitching. Something with a nice texture like that will ve 100 euro at least, probably more.

I know it's a shitter and the bracelet is also cheap, but is this objectively cringe?

>>13792048
Not cringe, just dumb.

>>13792056
That's like the same thing though

>>13792019
I like that tag, my dentist has the same one. It's only problem is that the >tag heuhue meme
Btw, it's an interesting collection, like if you only bought watches to make /wt/ mad.

>>13791963
why no Camille Fournet? strapmakers for Patek, real nice for what they are and they cost well under 100 bucks on the grey market...
anyway
>quality leather
is the single most important thing and the one you can't get anywhere these days, no elephant, no seal, no pecari. It's worth looking into new old stock straps on ebay, sometimes they have pre-embargo stuff that no contemporary manufacturer can get their hands on

>>13792048
>shitter
Far from it anon.

>>13792085
>cost well under 100 bucks on the grey market

ebay, particularly ebay.fr, I don't want to shill any particular seller
catawiki had a handful of them too, can't see any right now though

What's the most 80s watch in existence?

Best leather watch straps under 10 dollars? It's for my SNK809 (18mm)

>>13792154
Don't bother buying a leather strap until you have at least $30.

>>13792154
this is the poorest comment i have ever seen

>>13792085

Just a few that popped in my head, but yes those are great as well. Please, do tell where to get them for under 100.

>>13792048

after a few more used truck tire commercials hes got it in the bag

>>13787372
I love the way this watch looks in certain low light conditions

>>13792206
yes i also like the way that watch looks when i can't see it.

>>13792202
thank you anon

Hadley and Roma tanned oiled leather strap long

I want tips for super simple dress watches that aren't very expensive. That seems hard to find. There's always some bullshit like differently sized hour markers etc.

>>13792200
honestly, doesn't sound like too bad a deal if you want it
though i dont know who would buy from him after that fucking video of him kissing and rubbing everything he owns

>>13792194
Why would a solar quartz seiko be a shitter?
Kill yourself you swiss cuckold

>>13792202

Nice thanks!

>>13792219
Cause it's a crap watch.
Only Seikos worth buying are 5s as intro to mechanicals or you want something to beat to hell and not care about.
SARBs and GS.
I'd even say popular ones like the old /cock/tail time and Alpinest make the grade too.
But that's it for Seiko.

>>13792219
why would it not be? Its a pure tool. it doesn't need battery changes and tells the time. It is not a mechanical curiosity, it is not interesting, and it is not a nice watch.

>>13792218
sorry anon, you're better off using ebay or finding a webshop near you as I don't know where are you from and who distributes them in your country

>>13792215
Daniel Wellington is a good option.

>>13792224
>>13792229
Damn now I'm getting roasted. I thought because it's a boring shitter it could use some pizazz. The bracelet has been removed, I accept I will never be cool and I will never have #wristgame. I'm buying an automatic soon tho

>>13791439
>Big zero
This

>>13792258
I don't think it's a shitter anon, it's a perfectly fine watch imho.

>>13791891
Speedy

>>13792019
Carrera: 6/10
Squale: 2/10
Reduced: 5/10 (normal speedy = 10/10)

>>13792305
Reduced is a better size aesthetically for wristlets tho

>>13792258
We're definitely being a little harsh, how much was it?

>>13792313
Reduced may have a nicer size for wristlets, but the dial is not nice.

>>13792324
True. The location of the subdials towards the perimeter is jarring.

>>13791439
>Why do you list the 7s26 as outdated on the skx but not on the seiko 5
Because the skx is outdated compared to orient mako/ray2 and seiko's nh35 divers. But seiko 5 doesn't have competition like that. (unless there are some new seiko 5 models with nh35 that I'm not aware of)
>watchuseek
Yeah I'll add that
>column wheel
I'll add that
>tiger concepts
This is just for people who like the visual look of 5k watches but balk at the idea of actually buying one. There's a few other 9015 divers out there for the same price, but they all look like shit, if it doesn't look good, why wear it?

>yobokies isn't the best
I think he has the biggest range of options, best quality and good prices, can't stand his fucking jmageshack shit though, who would be the best in your eyes?

>generic Russian dress watch
Sure I can add this, any names?

>raketa big zero
Yeah I planned on adding this but cut it because I couldn't figure out which is the best distributor.

>poljot de luxe
Will look it up

>poljot 3133
Yeah I should do this, also wanted to buy a landeron 48 myself and see how that holds up, the problem is keeping it under 300 budget, researching into servicing prices ect. ect.

I think it was $89, maybe a little less. It makes me happy you think it's nice because it was so cheap. Honestly I have the money and the desire for nicer watches but I want to develop a little more taste before making any big purchases I might regret. For now everything I have is used as a beater.

It's a very photogenic piece desu

>>13792362
It's still a crap watch /in general/, but at that price Seiko is literally the best out there. So good pick, and they generally look a little more expensive than they actually are.
And for fucking 89 bucks who cares wear what you like, enjoy it.

Take my advice though, not every Seiko is fucking amazing.
Stick to the cheap shit cause it's the best bang for your buck, SARBs, GS, and the stupid popular ones.
Least in my opinion.

>>13787846
I wear a ga100. Don't have a very big wrist, but I have hulk hands and long arms so it works. Gave me a bit of anxiety when I first got it, though, because it was the biggest watch I've ever owned. Especially when you're wearing vintage dress watches most of the time

>>13792375
Post a wrist shot not a blog story

>>13792350
No, don't add a ton of vintage watches, people reading this guide don't have the expertise to buy them. Or if you do, make it a completely different guide.

>>13792388
Maybe hard to tell from just the wrist. arms are quite long. or maybe I've just gotten so use to it I don't notice how big it is in everyday use. I'm 6 foot 3 also.

>>13792406
blacked out watches are trash

>>13792406
You pass. You may legally continue to wear full size gshock

>>13792441
It's unusual for me. It was my first g shock, though, and I was worried that if there was too much colour it would look huge. plus 85% of my clothes are black or slate

>>13792048
The watch is fine, the bracelet is gayer than Liberace.

Uhhh what?
Post what you're looking for. Here or in the thread.

>>13791816
how beautiful? I'm a big fan of CNS's suede stuff that's allegedly from Norway. Haven't tried any of the textured leather. Brady straps are also good

>>13792019
you could have bought an actually decent piece for thouse 3 in either of the styles,you truly dun goofd

wheres the new thread?
