You don't have any say in this. Posts like these just stop the insecure newfags from posting their watches. Shitposting, like what you did, can be fun. But not when it's done with bad bait.

Newfags, you can post whatever you want, shitting on watches is also more entertaining and made me learn more stuff than some boring discussion where people politely disagree.

I heard omega constellation 565 is very nice, been looking for a nice one like that a while now, what do you think is the best one?

>>14856333
Hard to say. I recommended those two calibers as they have excellent movements but it really depends on the example.

I don't have a picture of a Tissot i have unfortunately but I'll post one when one home.

So are the only Citizen watches with that new super accurate 0100 caliber quartz movement $7.5k+ limited editions? Is the movement itself actually expensive or are they just trying to milk shiny new tech for a year or two before they work it into their regular lineup. No way in hell I am paying nearly Rolex prices for pic related.

>>14856351
would be nice, I was going to get pic related first, or maybe junghans meister.

But ive been starting to consider a vintage piece more and more. The only thing is that I am very scared of buying frankenwatches

>>14856362
I'm thinking that'll be that case because honestly I doubt that even they think they can get away with selling a regular production quartz watch for over 7 grand.
The people with enough money to spend on luxury watches isn't that high compared to the mass population, and most of those focus on mechanical watches with a few buying generic quartz from brands like omega, or women's watches. But they're all luxury names. Citizen is not a luxury name. Quartz GS is relatively new on the world market and even then they're not 7k. Chronomasters are only bought and known by japs on their home turf and a smattering of enthusiasts from elsewhere that buy online. They've only just started opening some citizen boutiques in key cities but it's not enough. Look at the uphill battle Seiko had with GS to the extent that they had to completely divorce (in name and on paper but not truly) the companies and re-dial everything for the new logo.
Citizen has done shit in that regard and Citizen's own "avant-garde" Campagnola line is virtually unknown and damn near forgotten. I see they've introduced mechanicals now. Weren't they supposed to be eco-drives with "grand complications"? So much for that.

A few limited editions for the real enthusiast collector cannot be the only way they envisage making back on their investment.
Unless of course that's not even a goal and it was only just a way to make a statement and gain publicity, in which case they'll charge however much they want for however long this calibre is in production. The gold LE's have sold out, haven't they? Maybe the pearl dial one too.

I'd like to pick up an eco-drive chronomaster one day. 2k-2.5k or thereabouts. That's about as much as I'll ever go for quartz-anything.

What am I supposed to do now?

Would a rally strap like that on a Speedmaster be /fa/?

>>14856326
That's sadly some dodgy shit. I was wondering the same and googled because i was sure that casio had the one he >>14856245

I found the same pic in an aussie ebay listing
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Casio-AQ-230A-1D-Casio-Gold-Black-Dual-Time-Watch-AU/254309132142?hash=item3b3601676e:g:qVYAAOSwP8tdY1j9

But when i google the name Casio AQ-230A-1D
i get totally different models. I think this aussie seller is selling some asian bootleg casios.

>>14856457

>>14856432
Yeah it looks like the white gold sold out. The titanium says it's limited to 500 watches. I doubt they are only going to make 1500 of these movements a year. But maybe so, seems like a huge waste. Another $50 movement I will never buy due to the need for market segmentation.

>>14856469

>i get totally different models. I think this aussie seller is selling some asian bootleg casios.
This actually happens.
I live somewhere in the third world and our generic online marketplace lists things throughout the region.
All casios and seiko 5's are 80% to 90% cheaper, origin: China.
I've seen fake casios and seiko 5's in flea markets here.
Everything is faked.
Everything.

I actually might buy the steel/black one and have the dial indices and hands painted white.

Oyster or the jub on an skx? I'd be getting a strapcode either way

>>14856072
My God. I usually hate openworked watches but this thing is beyond sexy.

What is the best seiko 5 model in terms of quality of mechanism?

hnnnnnnnngh

>>14856660
They all use the same movements. Maybe the latest ones use a newer movement but they'll all have it.
Seiko 5 is the budget line originally made for third world countries for which a replacement quartz battery was deemed hard to obtain, back in the day. I don't know if the older 5's from 30 years ago are any more robust than one that's fresh from the factory today.
They all have crap accuracy but they'll tick for 25 to 30 years sans maintenance and then die, which is their purpose.

>>14856567
>55AUD postage
Yeah, that's a fucking ripoff, he can go fuck himself. I looked closer at the pic and the casio writing is all croocked. That thing is sure a fake.
>Everything is faked.
I can feel you, it's super annoying when you can't trust anything.
I hope you find the watch you like and be happy with the modded dial.
The contrast will look nice if the painting is done properly.

>>14856729
I already raised an eyebrow when I saw 5 buck alibaba/wish watches that were a ripoff of a 10buck terrorist Casio, but actually making a FAKE of it...cmon son, you have the resources to make a fake watch and choose this? I think it is just some Casio factory worker collecting all the ones that didnt pass QC and selling them off. Or maybe not, who knows, if something would cost 1 buck, chingchong would sell a copy of it for 20-50 cents like those aliexpress graphics cards.

is there a log of all watches posted in the thread picture?

Anyway i'm looking for the piece with the blue (roman) numbers, swiss and rather expensive

would be very thankful

Based or no?

>>14856786
Looks too similar to the RO imo. I do like watches that have some of those genta design elements though.

>>14856797
It's only like 1.5k though, I don't have the cash for a royal oak. Want a nice dress watch to go with a Navy suit.

>>14856786
Shitter.

>>14856797
The Oysterquartz is a stunner, shame it's quartz.

>>14856746
Yeah, it's amazing how they even profit from that. Maybe production costs are way cheaper than we could even imagine or there is other dodgy shit going on. Like the chink shops that offer stuff for free but make money on the postal fees.
The factory worker theory is also very valid. They either sell directly or sell them to bootleg shops.
>>14856786
Looks great to me. Titanium looks nice on this one.

>>14856786
the ultimate in crap
so not based
there's royal oak design knockoffs done right and this isn't it
my main problem with this watch isn't just with the watch itself but with the entire brand
every watch brand of note has a name with some meaning.
whether it's the name of historical watchmakers (or just random business cunts) that founded the company or it's just a made up name (rolex) or a contraction of something.
they have history and meaning

maurice lacroix is a totally made up name
"all names are made up", yeah, but this one has no meaning and no history
shit, even fagerique cunstant has the pretense of using the names of the founding business cunts' couple's grandfather's names or some convoluted shit.

ML is entirely made up.
i think when they were brainstorming a name for this money-making venture they randomly chose the name of one of the faceless board members for lacroix
rumors abound that maurice was the first name of the janitor of the office that they either chose as a joke or because they're so unispired that they chose the first thing that walked through the office door to take out the garbage
unoriginal
insipid
that's how the name was chosen for this brand
that's what defines this brand in general and everything it produces
I have no idea who the fuck even buys their watches

>>14856810
There's no shame in it being quartz. It's a great movement. Thermocompensated, has a pallet fork to get rid of any jiggle in the second hand too.

>>14856797
Yeah, god forbid when watches look a bit similar. But it's hard to argue with somebody who thinks that everyone is coping rolex or the next, more expensive watch.
This rolex looks neat tho.
>>14856803
Even a better angle, very nice. It would look awesome when it would be a bit smaller. But that's just me being fed up with bad dial proportions.

>>14856817
That's a lot of text tripfag.

I don't really care about the history or whatever bullshit you buy into, I just want a nice looking, solid quality watch.

Have any better royal oak homages for a similar price?

>>14856810
>The Oysterquartz is a stunner, shame it's quartz.
It's not your typical throwaway eta, ronda or miyota quartz though.
It's quartz from a byegone era when quartz was actually something worthy of some awe.
An Oysterquartz is' more mechanical than any modern quartz because Rolex used a mechanical movement as a base as that's all they had to work with, and replace the key components with whatever was needed to make it a quartz watch.
It's better than just any ordinary quartz watch in this regard.

The main worry with it is not that it's quartz, but rather that spare parts will dry up one day soon.
They didn't sell well at all.
I think rolex still has spare parts though, dependent on which RSC you visit.

>>14856766
please respond

>>14856828
I don't mind if a watch looks similar, or has some borrowed design elements in other words. I just think it's a little too similar personally. If it didn't have a blue tapisserie dial I'd say it was fine.

Im trying to learn more about spotting bad omega constellations, anyone that knows more about it here that can tell me if its normal for watches from late 60's to ahve the certified on it.

also pic related, hands are wrong correct? since the black onyx is on the hands where as it shouldnt be

>>14856817
Jeez, lighten up, tripfag. You been too long on this forum. A lot of watches have some pretend history but they have just better paid marketing to make you believe their stories.

I doubt that you would be willing to spend several thousand dollars on some a watch from you've never heard of that just opened shop yesterday in say China. I doubt it very much.

The GP looks good, i give you that, 38mm is pretty good. But i never heard of it before and just searched. A new one costs over 10k€ a used on chrono24 differs but also def. more than 1.5k.
It does not matter if it was the first hommage or the last, a hommage is not a problem.

>>14856872
depreciation on GP is extreme
it's notoriously bad, hence it's best you buy GP used.
the 38mm one is the one to get unless you truly have large wrists
I had no idea the Aikon was so cheap. I always had the impression that it went for like 3k.

>>14856875
Based. The more i know about swiss watches and the industry, the less i can feel ripped off if i would buy one. It's bullshit on many levels. Cudos to those who enjoy these watches but i couldn't do it.

>>14856877
would be unrecognizable if fear,
It was a swiss watch, silver dial with some blue and some orange detailing. the picture was taken like the pov of looking at ones watch. it was a modern piece and semi bulky

If the Omega Speedmaster is the official watch of Reddit, what is the official watch of /wt/?

>>14856886
IMO you either embrace the con and just take it to the extreme and pay some outrageous price for something that you really don't need, or you live humbly and practically and buy something relatively inexpensive and replaceable that pleases you.
It's the middle ground that I think has the least value, if there is such a thing to be found at all. The true ascendant redpill is buying vintage, which can be relatively inexpensive, well made and is chockfull of bullshit intangibles.

>>14856884
No problem anon, glad you didn't answer in some stubborn way. Sorry for being mean about the "trip". But yes, i continue the tradition and am sceptical to anything, resembling a trip.
Well, the one good thing about this, you got me looking for more variants of this gp model. Didn't know it existed. Won't buy tho, but looks nice.

Sorry I deleted all wrist shots when it left my collection, to stop sellers remorse. The blue dial is more satin finish and not a sunburst like I'd thought (I loved that dial, ah). Ultimately it went because in low to dime lighting it can be had to read, like any dress / no lume / dark dialed watch. If I was rebuying it, I'd go with the original if you plan wearing it.

I'm not going to rip someone because they don't have money for something. Everyone was broke at somepoint (unless your family is rich and it's still not your money). I only real started making good money in my late 20's but was broke as before that, that's life.

Later models don't have them and they are normally cheaper but I think it's all about the daphne hands personally.

I can't give the game way, everyone (irl) ah that's awesome, how do I get into that, next question. I've cucked myself 1 time already.

Just start working for yourself, make something happen, stick with what your good at / know. No point filling someone else's pockets, it might fail a few times but one idea will stick.

What's the /wt/fag consensus on light-powered electromechanical or electronic watches? Is it worthwhile to have no downtime because battery ran out and no clocksmith nearby to replace it? And also a properly sealed casement that needn't admit battery replacement.

For shitters sold to hipsters and people really needing to catch the bus in the developing world, it seems that solar-powered watches might even pay for itself in contrast to the standard F-91W.

>>14858323
>light-powered electromechanical
There is no such thing as far as i'm aware,
I mean, I wouldn't refer to a quartz analog watch as "electromechanical", a Spring Drive, maybe.
In regards to standard solar powered quartz watches, ana or digi, vs a standard battery powered casio digital then latter can have a lithium battery that's stated to last at least a decade depending on how often you use the alarms and light. Ordinary use case is probably a longer than a decade and people either lose them or break them before needing a change. Even the regular non-lithium version can last ages on an ordinary battery if no functions are used if pic related is to be believed. I've had a couple such watches as a child and I cannot remember what became of them. I don't remember having to ask for a battery change compared to my basic analog quartz watches.

These are cheap watches. Solar powered watches cost multiples more by comparison.
Eco-drives are supposed to last up to 25 years before needing a battery replacement, but that's an ideal figure and I've never read of anyone talking about theirs reaching that point before needing to change something.
10 to 15 seems to be the standard providing nothing else goes wrong with the watch.

Seiko's and citizen's capacitor's are apparently easily available online and one should be able to replace them by oneself though I'm sure it's more involved than replacing a battery, especially if it's a dive watch variant with seals to worry about. These things also cost $50+ minus labor.
You could buy a few F-91W for that.

>>14858339
I liked it for the nasa background before I was really into watches + dad had one in the 70's. You want to be a special snowflake that's fine but there is a reason it's popular and everyone loves it. £2500-3000 used, it is hard to beat in the watch world, history / mechanical chronograph / finishing /brand.

>>14858336
>wouldn't refer to a quartz analog watch as "electromechanical", a Spring Drive,
It's powered by electromocity, and it stops going if the battery runs out far enough. (maybe some get wonky if the voltage drops towards cell EOL. maybe this was in the 80s.) It's not exactly like, an electromagnetic relay or other style of actuator going bip-bip according to a quartz frequency source, but still. Close as it gets.
>Solar powered watches cost multiples more by comparison.
There's a citizen sub-brand selling the third-world watch alluded to for sub-50€. A basic analog hands jobbie to be sure, not even a date window. If the battery swapper is a hundred miles away and charges half a F-91W to do his thing, well, I could see that being popular. There's surprising utility to a watch, and therefore discomfort in having the batteries conk out even once. That said, I did perfectly fine those times when my childhood watch's battery ran out -- it was a steel-cased analog watch with a second hand, as one would have back then if not a comparatively garish digital watch, so possibly thirstier than a F-91W as well.

Well it's a well known factor, name me another mechanical chronograph that is in the £2700 range used, with the history, in production as long, as good looking (personal I know) and mechanicaly reliable as the speedmaster.

Don't give me a vintage seiko / sinn chono or some shit, know one knows who the fuck sinn is. A Navitimer or El primero maybe good luck at £2.7k and they have there own problems, had them both (service queens).

Yes a lot of guys buy it and are meme'd into it but they are retarded buyers anyway and then don't like it , for whatever reason. Someone recommend it originally who knew what they were talking about, have. Theres a reason its has the following it does and for you to say I don't like it because it popular just makes you another type of cunt honestly.

/wt/ knows nothing about the market place and what's good value and what's not, just go but a Monaco ffs..... 1hr sub dial.

>>14858587
Woah chill out guy. Not the other fella but one thing that bugs me about the speedmaster is all the space shit when it's not even that big of a deal. A fucking vostok has been to space. Also it doesnt even use the same movement anymore its completely different. Who cares if nobody knows sinn. It does look nice though

>>14858342
Lol they had to make the lugs comically short to try and keep that giant thing from drowning out the wrists of everyone but the obese.

>>14858700
48mm lug to lug is reasonable for 42mm imo. Too many watches have too long lugs man

>>14858638
Well its apart of nasa history, apart of the uniform, it's not so much space watch.... it's called moon watch, as in it was worn on the moon. Yes gmt was prob on the moon but no watch is worn on the outside on the suit or was. "Its not really a big deal" well no watch history is a big deal then, you clearly like Sinn, a 0 history brand..... maybe that says it all. Okay go buy a pre moon speedy then, the new movement is used now in space, literally flying over you now.

Sinn makes ugly watches, with stamped metal claps, with sellita sw200's for £1000+ the only german brand worth buying is Nomos if you can get over the long lugs. Let's not talk about lange (the price).

Fair enough if you don't like the design but it will never be dated, you probably for like 911s as well. I don't get that feeling from you tho, you're hating just for the sake of shitting on it "I don't get it".

Pretty triggered lol

>>14858700
What kind of virgin has a wrist so small they can't wear a MOTMFM?

>>14858765
There's a zillion watches that have been in space, and the only Omegas worn on the moon had a 321 movement. By your reasoning the modern quartz Bulova moonwatch is as much a part of NASA history as a modern 1861 speedmaster.

>>14858765
>the only german brand worth buying is Nomos if you can get over the long lugs
This is pretty ridiculous. If we're talking the sub-1500 or so price segment, Bruno Sohnle has ETA movements for cheap prices and are good value buys; if we're not, then Lange, Mortiz Grossman, etc. are good watches.

>>14858525
I travel a lot for work, like a lot, 100 flights a year, (I'm a consultant) and you don't really see that many speedmasters in the wild, understand the speedmaster is more of a watch guys watch. In big city it's all Rolexs and some seamasters, you will see a few speedmaster in Tokyo but the have a thing for it over there.

>>14858775
Nomos in house and can be had very cheap used.

>>14858765
https://news.abs-cbn.com/ancx/style/watches/10/28/18/time-and-space

>>14858782
I also travel quite a bit (but mostly on trains) and you're right, come to think of it I've never seen a Speedmaster on someones wrist. Most common watches I see are Omega and Rolex divers.

>>14858775
>>14858799

The Bulova was a 1 off, speedmaster is standard issue, used on every mission and now, quite a few more flight hours. Speedmaster is a better looking watch in person. I had the Bulova before the speedmaster and sold it, its fucking huge but I could deal with the size (lug to lug) i have a 7inch wrist but what kills the Bulova it's how top heavy the watch is, uncomfortable to wear and I had a good fit.

Your point has some mererit honestly but the watches are not in the same league, fit and finish, go see a speedy in the ad's ffs. You haven't handled shit or you wouldnt even bring up Bulova but I was waiting for it.

The Bulova chronograph buttons are so fucking hit and miss, sometime they don't activate it, you have to hit them just right (trying it on a few of them, saw miss clicks on videos)

>>14858848
My point is completely unrelated to the quality of the watch, because the idea that the watch is part of some kind of history and that is its merit is unrelated to any arguments about the quality of the watch.

>>14858852
In the end of the day, we are watch guys and it's about the watch, history is second. Build, fit and finish and style come first. Some guys don't get it some do, I don't get a lot of watches, like dive watch history lol who cares but I dig the space thing, you don't. I don't like the other space watches for one or another reason but the speedy did it for me from the first time I saw it.

It's like your blood dad (speedy) and your step dad (other space shitters). You always wanted your blood dad even if you didn't want to admit it. Your mum sucks your step dad dick (all the haters) and you tell yourself you love your step dad. Mean while I just bought the MOFTM!!!!! And have a well rounded home!

Beautiful

YEAH DUDE ANOTHER SEAMASTER HOMAGE YeaH DUDE SUBMARINER HOMAGE HELL YEAH THATS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT MORE OF THE SAME. MUH HERITAGE

>>14858892
nice dial

I have held Rolexs, Jaeger Lecoultres and omega but this is the best finished watch I have ever held. Dial is subtle yet interesting. The indices are next level. The case is god tier. Only bad thing is the bracelet but the can be replaced. Simply epic.

>>14858887
You're a weird fella, but I glad you're enjoying your speedy

>>14858782
>Tokyo but the have a thing for it over there.
i can understand that the nips have style. I will concede it is a good looking watch. I just wouldn't wear it for the same reason above.

>>14859061
Kill yourself.

>>14859065
do you wanna have a discussion?

are the ETA 2836-2 movements in these any good? how long will they run before theyre trash?

Are you fucking kidding me -_- 46mm lmao!!! A man of style and taste, no will have that in the room trust me, job well done.

I think you're going around the whole watch thing the wrong way, I did the same thing with rolex. Pulled the trigger on one to see what it was all about and I got it. And the watch you are looking at is meh.

You try your friends mattress and its amazing, you then find out from him all your friends have it, you go to the matters shop and find a less comfortable mattress because you want to be different.

>>14859156
Buy a g shock square, the watch games not for you.

>>14859174
>Im not buying some rubber shit.
They make ones in all titanium.

>>14859174
If you don't want the speedmaster as you feels it's done out, get the El primero 1969 reissue, if your that active, I'd stay away from chronograph. Get a simple 3 hander from rolex or a Omega Aqua Terra (movement golden for shock)

White OP 39 or Black Bay GMT? I can't decide.

>>14859194
GMT
But for me, it's the milgauss.

>>14859194
I'd get a BB58 personally. Considerably thinner than the other black bays, smaller diameter, etc.

>>14859194
White OP
you won't regret it

>>14859194
OP 36 for me. But if you have the wrist for it then I'd go with the GMT. It's a really cool watch

>>14859194
I would get the BB GMT because of the date issues with the watches, look it up. I'd go with the BB58, I like the OP39 white but 4k is a lot of money for of its style but maybe I need to see it in person (but I have my heart set on a sub so, so that would be my pick)

BB58 or OP39 depending what else you have. I'd buy a new seamaster over them all

Need a second opinion on authenticity of this one, I havent seen anything weird, and for 900 it seems like a nice deal?

Got no answers a few threads back, but i really want o save up and buy myself a cartier tank or a leather strap santos, should I anons?

>>14859302
I really like the face and numeral font. All together i find it simple, elegant, and stylish. I was also in the market for a new watch and came across this one.

>>14859316
I'd get a (medium) santos on a bracelet personally. It's more visually interesting than the tank. Though last I checked when you get a santos you get both a bracelet & a strap.

>>14859316

I came the post this >>14859322 also the tank really needs to be in gold, so your looking £10k new, I'd buy a used / vintage one personal in gold if it had to be a tank, £4000 grey market got the mid size santos would be the way to go.

>>14859322
i like the 2 tone santos

Any of you lads have experience with the cheapest nato straps rubber straps? I've heard the crafter blue and bonetto cinturini are the best but I dont want to spend that much on a shitter

>>14859322

Oh yeah i forgot to tell you that but i'm looking for a vintage one, i found this one on this site and it was the one that made me want it, i just find it more charming and with more personnality than a mint one,

also i have slav blood and i am VERY pale, so anything gold makes me look like i am apart of the russian mob

>>14859503
Nice look for 150 bucks and, yeah, I'd buy it.

Any watchmaker here? Is it worth it to pay more for a watch with 2892 instead of 2824?

How tight should I wear my F91w? If I have five holes showing on the band I can slide a finger under it but it sometimes rides up on my arm or rotates a little bit. If I tighten it to have 6 holes showing it doesnt move, I cant get any fingers under it, and I have difficulty taking it off.

what do? Should I get the nato strap?

>>14859554

Get yourself the other space watch chrono that has a based in-house movement. Column wheel with a vertical clutch, COSC certified with a 72 hour power reserve.

It pisses all over Omegas chinese made 1861 pretender.

>>14859670

>>14859440
Well that would be the way to go, a gold dress watch is different to other items of gold but okay. Go vintage, do your homework and then do it again, as with any vintage watch purchase.

You will lose your shirt with a new one, they lost the way a bit the new tanks. You're best with vintage and it will whole its value better.

>>14859670
>>14859671
Looks really nice. I just nervous about buying it. Does servicing chronograph cost considerably more than a three hander? Would you even be able to get it serviced locally?

>>14859703
It is a great wee watch (loved it) and for the money I can't think of anything that beats it, use the hked as he is a trusted seller and one of the lighter dial (standard hked), it keeps great time +6 secs and 1 week shipping to the uk.

I just have a thing about hyper legible watches after a swatch I bought in my teens. That's why the standard design was picked originally. I only sold it to fund an omega, I think about rebuying it all the time.

>>14859751
Normally yes, don't worry about it, you just run it till it's dead 5-10year and buy a replacement movement for £100 or whatever it costs. Which is cheaper than any service, even a seiko.

>>14859175
It’s a good beater quartz. I’ve had one for years and it’s far better than any Timex

What bezel is that?

Are G-Shock and ProTrek combi-bracelets swappable? Found a broken ProTrek w/ bracelet for cheap, wondering if I can just buy and put the bracelet on my G-Shock.
Also, does anyone have experience with https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32967463308.html ? Would be a nightmare to have a Chinese shit bracelet snap while I'm swimming or something, but the construction seems simple enough so maybe it holds up like the real Casio bracelets.

Can any slavmodders confirm whether or not Favinov's "Blue Classic Lume" is superluminova BGW9? aka the second best superluminova pigment?
I'm guessing his "green classic" is C3, blue classic has to be BGW9 right?
It's white in light, blue in dark.
No idea wtf "new green" is but it seems to be the worst option among the three.

As long as something isn’t actively girly I wouldn’t give a shit if it’s technically a woman’s watch. And like the other guy said Orient is a better manufacturer than Tisell, they have some cool stuff but beware of weird lug sizes if that’s something you care about.

My newest watch purchase. Too reasonable price to pass on it as a full set. Some marks around the bezel and gold finish has visible wear on it.

How badly did i do?

I have to say that the gold look is not for me.

As for the timekeeping itself quick logging from the few day i've used it point towards gain of one or two seconds so far.

More logging at more precise measurements needed for real gain/loss reading.

They generally aren't built to go below freezing, albeit they're expected to get warmth from your wrist.
The designated low-temp models can go to -20 and omit the solar panels. This particular model was designed to wear over a ski jacket I think?

For comparison, the Antarctic Research edition Frogman has a few features stop working around +10 and even the built in thermometer is only accurate to -10.

you won't find curved endlinks that will fit right otherwise
this is the reason why if a watch comes with a bracelet option or a strap always choose the former

>>14860303
there is no brand that specializes solely in traditionally sized watches
it no longer sells in the volumes they desire
the entire industry went apeshit over a decade ago and is only now fixing itself
however, doesn't mean that smaller diameters were abandoned
any good watch brand will have smaller diameter models available in their lineup that aren't specifically tiny women's watches (24/28/34mm etc.).
you just have to find what you want among the brands that fits your desired size depending on your budget
there's a current renaissance in vintage inspired crap that the many brands have jumped on to which include a lot of 37-40mm watches.

It's assumed that your body heat will keep shit accurate as that anon mentioned.
It's not going to spontaneously die as soon as you place it in a freezer. Quartz accuracy gets all fucky with drastic temperature changes.
Also it's assumed you're not in the minus 0's 24/7/365 and that you will be heated indoors at least once every 24hrs. If you're not doing the latter obviously you'd be buying specialist gear and not whining about personally inapplicable hypotheticals on the gayest board of 4chinnel.

Scott, Amunsen and other polar explorers carried pocket watches and they managed well enough until time no longer mattered to them and they died horribly or disappeared. Just because it's not guaranteed to function beyond a certain threshold doesn't mean it won't work, just that Casio won't be legally liable if you stake your life or something on it and it doesn't function as intended beyond the (usually conservative) parameters set by the maker. If your true requirements need it then you'll buy the necessary equipment and not shit available in malls for regular people.

It's a slide rule. Slide rules are an analogue computing device for doing multiplications, divisions, and square roots. A circular slide rule can provide two-ish digits of precision at a time, assisting things such as long division greatly.

That's to say: it's a nerd watch.

All of the watches in this thread are ugly except for these:
Rolex
Grand Seiko
Omega Constellation (vintage)
Heuer chrono
Junghans Max Bill
G-Shock (square)

Everything else is just unsightly garbage. And it's the same thing over and over again in every single one of these threads. For a fashion forum, you guys have literally zero taste.

One of the trends that started in Asia is women purposely wearing larger watches for them (submariners, daytonas, nautili, mens royal oaks etc.,) because of the idea of the "boyfriend watch" worn to make other girls jelly that the gril in question not only has a bf but also one that would bequeath his expensive luxury watch to her (implying that he's wealthy enough to also not go on empty wristed in the meantime). I used to mostly see old rolex (subs, gmts) that were gifted because the guy went and bought the newer models but now they're all wearing the newest iterations. Rose gold Daytona are especially popular because they're so expensive.

This has the corollary of empahsising the bf-watch wearer's femininity via the fact that the large watch dwarfs their dainty wrists hence why this method trumps the bf actually just buying the girl a women's luxury watch which by comparison makes the girl's arms look massive. It's a one two punch because of the implied intimacy involved in sharing a watch rather than having a separate piece of jewelry to themselves and a stab at girls who don't have but desire such relationship initmacy.
The goal of making other girls jealous takes up most womens' time, like cats with napping and grooming. On the guy's side giving his watch to the girl serves not only the purpose of giving an intimate gift (and the excuse to buy a new watch) but is also an effective brand or chain that signifies: "this is taken, this is mine, hands off" etc., like how street mutts stick physcially close to bitches in heat or piss on things to mark territory .

I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but here it's how it is on a certain level of society where everybody, man or woman, is a conniving backstabbing assholebitch
I hate it.

Rat steals pics and vids and other content and passes it off as his own. Faterico was investigated by internet autiste detectives and his username was found used on some rep forums a few years ago: the style of his posts, including details of ownership and sales of specific models (which have now been found to have been fakes all along) locations of residence, allusions to employment in the business and other details corroborate with his account of his life at the time.
It's pretty much him.

He's not really worth watching regardless and I don't know who would be subbed to this thing's channel.
