No cheap shit casio, gshock, other plastic crap or ugly citizen

It's been 3 threads and already /wt/ on /g/ is turning into a shitshow. I'm starting to suspect that the real problem was /g/ all along.

>>15377703
the problem is you expecting quality discussion on the internet

Recommendations for my next watch? Must have no date, bonus is it's a hand wind.

I'm thinking:
Stowa Flieger 36mm or 40mm
Stowa Martin 36 small seconds

I have the new hked thin hands in the post (rebuy)

Will probably trade the seamaster for a reverso sometime in the next 10 months.

>>15377703
because /g/ is full of autism

>>15377783
ever tried one of these soviet era polijot de luxe? they are made of higher grade movements (well at least for the USSR) , essentially upgraded old swiss Venus relics. Yes its a handwind

Found this guy at a thrift store today while looking for furniture, casio db380 for comparison. It has the original bracelet but it's missing the sliding clasp thing that's on metal casio bracelets

What model is Gordon wearing?

five identical invictas

It's so annoying that the bracelet is 1mm wider than the casio or else I would just slide the clasp off the casio bracelet onto it.

>>15377815
Based, looks a lot like an old seiko digital.

>>15377703
/g/ is a horrible place these days

Thinking of maybe putting the texas instruments eatch on a band like this. I kinda like the look. I'll also try to track down a clasp slider for the bracelet. The light on it doesn't work either, i don't know if it's due to the battery or if it's something else

>>15377819
IWC Mark XVIII

>>15377819
looks like a IWC Mark XII

flieger, ofc

My grill/grail

>today I will remind them

>>15377814
No I haven't, I don't think I would buy a gold plated watch but I see there is steel. I really might take a good look at these, the winding sounds very crunchy!

>>15377852
At first it was a funny meme but then I was like ffs I want one.

>>15377815

>>15377965
isnt a raymond weil kinda a decent (but very generic) mid range brand?

>>15377968
that is a growing trend that I have noticed

>>15377970
All I've ever seen is /wt/ refer to them as shitters.
I like their square Tango and the Don Giovanni. They remind me of the old art deco watches from the 30s

I will literally wear any watch.

>>15378012
No matter what you do or what you buy someone will always call you a faggot, so just do things for yourself and stop listening to other people. I'm perfectly content with having a collection of just casio shitters. I absolutely love them.

>>15378003
we do?

>>15377978
i dont know anything much about them but from the little ive seen seems alright. Seems like they have inhouse calibres too

>>15378053
which is your favorite?

>>15377924
Many fakes? I'm seeing a lot on etsy for 185 cad with movement shots that look pretty pristine

>>15378067
not him but I also have a casio shitter collection and I am very partial to the AE1200 and DW5610
DW5610 is just the square, which is perfect, but with so much more. it has no extraneous functions and is a great value. the world time has such a unique aesthetic, it's like the perfect blend of whimsical and retro but still good looking with the square shape and little map but it's perfectly proportioned, has tons of functionality you grow to like over the f91w like being able to turn off the button noise, 2 LEDs, multiple timezones, etc. but it never feels too big. it's an amazing value

>>15378077
dont buy on etsy. Avoid that pozzed place
full of dishonest redials and frankenshitters and I swear its just stacies and boomers who have no idea about vintages shopping there
you are far better off armed with knowledge and on ebay.

>>15378089
Duly noted. Thx bud I had a feeling it was too good to be true

>>15378083
thanks for the reply

how much would you pay for this STUNNER from omega? I feel like the asking price is ridiculous at $5.9k AUD
calibre 500 btw

I'm assuming all the Rados on eBay that are like
$150 and from India are fake or some shit? Only asking because I know that Rado is SUPER popular in that part of the world.

>>15378089
>>15378097
Forgot to ask, do you have any decent resources for reading or sellers you prefer?

When is yema going to put there in house movement in superman, their cheap ranges have it ffs.

In house movement
sapphire bezel (like in there bronze watch)
No date (unlike)

Fucking pleaseee

>>15378132

supposedly their in-house movement kind of sucks

>>15378123
>>15378097
no preferred sellers but the small time ones are better/more helpful. Mostly they are all from CIS countries, and often they are just flea market hunters selling random stuff they scourge up. Ill avoid anyone who doesnt have a perfect 100% score

this guy has a crazy collection of russian watches in excellent condition you can use for reference
https://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/poljot

and if you need further expert opinon watchuseek has a subforum dedicated to russian/vintages

>>15378157
*some expert opinon*
i wouldnt call myself an expert, not what i meant. just a dabbler and admirer of vintage pieces

thoughts on these simple casio's?

i got tiny as fuck wrists and i just want a casual piece

one has numbers on it, one is blank
are the #'s one too kiddy? i feel likethe blank one though is a strange in-between casual (band) and more formal (no numbers)

>>15378178
>the virgin Max Bill vs the chad Casio
I like them.

>>15378024
You post this a lot and I like it even though I never reply.

my dad bought one of those Chinese brand watches from aliexpress and he says that it is the best watch he has ever had.

>>15378195
which brand is it? Pangani?

>>15378201
it is a Starking iirc. He only paid like 60 CAD

w2c bezel inserts?

>>15378157
Cheers man. Time to search for one worth servicing.

>>15378178
i think these have more character
but otherwise they are fine

>>15378067
For analog it has to be the MTP-1246D-7AVDF. I love the look and feel of it and the little subdials, the size is nice too at 38.5mm. For digital it's really hard to pick. I love the 5610 because it's more accurate than a phone and never need a new battery. I love the dbc611 in gold because of all the neat little features like calculator and phone book packed into a stylish little case. My other favorite is the db 380 because it's more obscure cool looking digital watch, haven't seen anyone with one. I really like the gimmick of the phonebook in it and the features
like 5 alarms and countdown timer and stopwatch which I all use fairly often. Really like having dual time on all of these because I have relatives in a different timezone and it makes it easier to keep track of the time so I don't accidentally call them at 3am

>>15378304
does this have the quick-adjust bracelet length that the PO bracelet has?

>>15378310
yeah its the push lock system.

I had the sub before. I like the easy push extension better than the glide-lock.

Halp

>>15377982

What model is this breitling?

To the anon with this collection. Does the calculator watch go past the year 2029?

>>15378178
I have the one with the helvetica numbers and I like it. The one with the batons looks really cool tho I'd get that one. Worst comes to worst your out 18 bux

>>15378231

Why do burgers spell kebab like that?

>>15377970
Nah, they're small watch shitters. They make them with a lot of visible polished surfaces so plebs with think they are cool.

https://www.jomashop.com/mens-automatic-watches.html?_header=mens_automatic_watches&manufacturer=Orient#222269

>>15378595
orient, seagull, quanqin/cadisen

most of seagull watches (like 90%) are dress pieces

>>15378640
What's the "right" size?

>>15378636
I never said it was incorrect you fetid oaf, I asked why do they use that spelling.
They use zucchini rather than courgette because of a lot of Italian immigrants.

>>15378674
They use generic ETAs I think, they're just kinda pleb catcher basic bitch 'swiss' watches.

>>15378696
Depends on your wrist and the lug to lug, but if it's less than 7 inches, a dress watch shouldn't be bigger than 40-41 mm

>>15378696
38 was/is the limit
and now trends are going downward again. no more ugly dinnerplate watches

>>15378465
I just checked and yes it does go beyond 2029.

>>15378697
Imagine being this autistic over a word lmao

>>15378743
>>15378465
Bear in mind though that this is the original DBC-610, the later models may not if they have a different module.

>>15378745
You could just admit that you don't know, I already think you're an idiot.

>>15378743
I don't even understand the need for digital watches to have a year setting, it eventually runs out and the only thing it needs to know is which of the 4 years it is during the cycle of a leap year.

>>15378761
I didn't know you can check the year on a g-shock. I guess they aren't worried about it timing out as it's like 80 years away.

>>15378771
I don't think you can, the only way you can see it is when you go through the time settings.

>>15378773
I see it now, when I go in to change the time. Mine is a Wave Ceptor ™ so I don't need to worry.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO LIKE THIS BRAND?

Is there an automatic watch for $200?

>>15378797
there are automatic watches for $30.

Want to buy a stowa flieger but really cant justify it as good financial choice

>>15377655
Opinions on this? I have about 3-4k to spend and I want a versatile watch for it.

I really want a classic watch like this but I am considering the alternatives, I'm not shilling out for a oyster perpetual but I might just save up to a datejust 116234.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNy3xCmvn0E

>>15378811
datejusts are seriously lame
once you have one you realize it's a cheesy gaudy looking watch every middle aged salesman owns that, while well made, is hardly simple or classic. it's just a rolex, and if you aren't some brand simp that means little

>>15378811
I don't understand these Grand Seiko models. It's supposed to be a sports watch? But then the actual face looks more like a dress watch and it has zero lume on it.
Quality is of course nice though. I'd still get the 36mm Datejust if you're looking for a one and done watch.

anyone here ever mod an Invicta 8926OB? what did you do and whered you get parts?

>>15378812
I think the datejust is one of Rolex's best designs after day date, at least better than the tacky sub variations.

I am looking for something that I can wear casually but also as a dress watch.

I know I can pull this one off, and I want one bad

>>15378828
Get it and post pictures of it here so we can laugh at you for how bad it looks.

But in all seriousness they might be decent with a suit and nothing less.

>>15378811
>19mm lug width
It's a nicely sized versatile watch but fuck odd lug widths, bye bye lots of leather strap options, hello custom made and needlessly more expensive (or squeezing on a 20mm strap and it looking shit).

>>15378815
I have, you'd be best off searching for the watchuseek thread which has masses of info and every conceivable mod.
Also http://www.stefanv.com/watches/black-lagoon-an-homage-to-the-tudor-heritage-black-bay.html is a decent write-up of a mod and very useful step by step stuff.
I changed a lot of mine, filed off the Invicta branding on the case, filed off the crown guards (you have to remove the crown tube to do that, very tricky), filed off the Invicta logo on the crown and bracelet clasp, replaced the dial and hands with Dagaz ones, changed the bezel insert, put in a domed crystal, rebrushed the bracelet to get rid of the polished centres, the result isn't really anything special but I enjoyed doing the mod and it was fun making it exactly how I wanted it to look.
The only problem is that I did this 5 years ago when I paid £40 for the watch, don't think I'd have bothered if it cost much more.

my quest begins to find one of these
i must have it
i will have it

I put my Timex onto a nato I had, I've ordered a black, grey & orange one for it and an all orange one too.

Roll for your vintage Casio

>>15379132
But I have a 70% of getting nothing.

>>15378621
Because in the US it is pronounced with a distinct short o at the end, as in Bob's kabob. Brits use a short a, as in man's kebab. A similar phonetic difference is in the first syllable, US unstressed a (schwa - ə), British short e as in let.
Why the different pronunciations no clue.

>>15378118
dial is definitely retouched, most I would pay for this is $1.5 - 2k aud

>>15379132
Why does no other company make such great digital shitters?

>>15379132
Number 10 or 15 pls. Would really like that steel case with a 248 module inside, pretty much perfect.

>>15379173
Low markup and it destroys brand exclusivity. Not to mention that the digital Casios have flooded the market for decades and people already associate them with cheap digital watches.

>>15376746
>you can make a DIY pressure chamber with a nalgene bottle, bike tire valve, and air pump. I'm planning on doing that soon.
How?
The air volume that would go into the watch is so small, you’d need a real précis pressure gauge and pressure supply.
Sure, that’s doable, but I doubt a nalgene and a bike pump would do the job. But I’m curious, because I’d like to test my watches too, but I can’t figure out a way to do it.

Alright

GS SBGE vs. Omega PO 600m GMT

which one do you all care for more ?

>>15378262
That...that’s actually not bad looking! Still like their doge watch more, though.

>>15378283
Me too, but it seems painful to wear. Bishop is even worse. You either can’t nend your wrist without it digging into your hand or you have to wear it on your forearm like a tourniquet. Fuck that.

>>15379220
They're both too big, but the sbge015 is the better looking watch by a long shot

>>15378283
I have one. It's neato but I don't wear it often.

>>15378986
I call it a PC, short for pocket computer.

>>15379314
It's always been an aesthetic I liked as well. My favourite Rolex model has consistently been the GMT master.
If you're a big guy then go for the GS, sapphire bezels are incredibly based

>>15379328
>brown bezel
absolutely based

>>15379328
I love the luminescent bezel too, its like the drop down window of the 4runner. Its a small detail thats been cornered by only a single company for some reason.

If Omega made the PO 600m GMT in the 39,5mm case, I would have never guessed between the two lol

>>15379210
The way watch case pressure testing is done easiest is 1) pressurize chamber 2) lower watch to water 3) release pressure. If the watch couldn't resist the pressure, insides are now pressurized and when releasing, the air will leak back out and show as bubbles in water.

>>15379389
they quit making these and they're ridiculously expensive now

Help me out, /wt/. I’m looking to upgrade from my good old Seiko 5, to something else in a small field watch style but with some bells and whistles like sapphire crystal, 200 ATM rating and an actual winding crown. Is pic related also from Seiko a good choice at ~1000 canuckbucks or could I get a cheaper option?

>inb4 hating on the green face

>>15379460
>200 ATM rating and an actual winding crown
sounds like you want a dive watch

>>15379460
You can probably still get the SARB017 which is essentially the same thing but cheaper.

>>15379460
the old one is like 400ish bucks cheaper and looks much better. SARB017. Seiko got greedy

the new one has a new movement but its not an upgrade that matters (50 increases to 80?hr power reserve)

>>15379493
>why is water resistance important to a FIELD watch

my retard brother took the junkers i got him into the pool and fucked it. learn from my mistakes anons.

>>15379459
I know, I'm half tempted to sell it for a pretty tidy profit.

>>15378789

>>15379527
>buying watches that aren't water resistant

>>15379578

>>15379460
200ATM is gonna be tough. Rolex Deep-sea maybe?
I'd check out the Marathon field and dive watches. They come in 36 mm and bigger and they are tough. Automatic with screw down crown, sapphire crystal and tritium lume for under $1000.
I find the Alpinist revolting, sorry.

I think you meant 200m, 200atm = 2000m which would only be for heavy duty dive watches. Anyway I agree with >>15379507 and >>15379511 you should go for the previous gen alpinist, or maybe a hamilton pilot pioneer? Only 100m WR but that should be plenty

do any other brands do the left handed crown? I've only also seen Panerai do that

>>15378360
Black, I think the blue looks plasticky in all the photos I've seen, plus the crown is at 9. I hate all 3 o'clock crowns.

>>15379314
This is great, I dont know what bezel I'd prefer so I could really use it...

>>15379649
fake patina sucks get the cwc version

>>15379673
Sinn and Omega have a few that I'm aware of. I think Hamilton do a left-handed watch too.

>>15379673
Citizen, Graham, ZChZ (soviet panerai)

thoughts?
still not sure if it's grown on me or not

>>15379673
an anon posted his left handed citizen a few threads back

>>15379704
For some reason this seems even more shameless than the dozens and dozens of Sub clones

>>15379704
What are you expecting? It's a Daytona for someone who can't afford a real one. Normies will think it's a Rolex, watchfags will know you otherwise.

>4 o'clock crown

>>15379704
heard these are solid for the price. How is it?

>>15379715
>hurrr rolex
daytonas werent $28,000 when they came out in the 70s

>>15378515
nice vostok homage bro

>>15378767
because you'll need to completely replace the movement every 15 years?

>>15378856
If you're dropping $4k on a watch, is an extra $7 on a strap really that bad?

>>15379721
What's your point? Watches were cheaper in the past, well no shit. Also 1970's Daytona's looked nothing like that modern version.

>>15379275
Go to AliExpress and search for starking year of the dog. Phoneposting , so cant post a pic.
>>15379367
>water
But wouldn’t that ruin the watch?
>cool. Now I know my watch ain’t water resistant, cause I got water in my watch
How’s that different from just wearing it to the pool and seeing if it survives? What am I missing here?

>>15379578
why does it look like someone coughed all over the hands?

>>15379718
it's a very nice watch
seiko quartz movement so keeps time well, finishing is fantastic for the £60 or so I paid for it. Very nice bracelet too.
Looks pretty much like a daytona which could turn people off

>>15379727
>watches were cheaper in the past
no? you can literally buy watches at $10 now
in the past rolex was an affordable treat for the average person.

The daytona was just $350 when it came out. Accounting for inflation that same $350 would be $2125 in todays money.

now its unrealistically unobtainable by most thanks to rolex's artificial scarcity and just a wankfest

i have no issues with anyone getting a homage. Abosolutely zero.

>>15379132
rollin

>>15379278
>showcasing your arm hair by putting a gold frame around it

what do you think?

>>15379782
Using the inflation argument isn't a valid one. They are no longer cheap tool watches but luxury goods. If you know your history that's how the Swiss watch industry survived the quartz crisis. They became *more* expensive, *more* exclusive and hence more desirable. That marketing strategy is literally how RM works today.

>>15379715
>Normies will think it's a Rolex
Normies wouldn't even identify a submariner without the rolex brand and its their most known watch, you must be sure they don't know about the daytona.Put rolex and a crown on an invicta watch and they will think it is a rolex.

>>15379832
Normies recognise it by the shape and especially the cyclops but yeah they couldn't tell the different between a Yatchmaster, a Sub, or a Sea Dweller.

> Put rolex and a crown on an invicta watch and they will think it is a rolex.
They don't even have to do that.

>>15379724
The difference in price of a standard strap and a custom strap from the same manufacturer is significantly more, then there's the having to wait for them to make it and having to make initial enquiries too. All for the sake of 1mm of lug width.

Superior Japanese steel.

fuck rolex

>>15379528
You'll regret it don't do it.

>>15379822
very nice. What made you pick the black dial?

I got 500 CAD, what should I buy? Only rule is under 40mm.
I will wear anything.

>>15379906
> I will wear anything.
Go to the mall.
See a fashion watch you like the look of.
Buy it.

>>15379906
Buy 35 Casio F91Ws

>>15379906
Go to the women's watch section at you local jewelry store and pick out your new watch you dumb wristlet

>>15378876
This is gross but I really respect you opening up and modding a watch bro.

>>15379900
Dunno, I definitely think there's good reasons for me to get rid of it. I've had it since new for about 10 years and the capacitor is on the wane, if I leave it in a drawer for 2 weeks it dies and having to reset it is a bother even more than any of my mechanical watches.

I will literally wear ANYTHING

anons, watches won't bring you lasting happiness. spend your money wisely.

>>15379906

>>15379822
>NOTICE ME the watch
>worn all the way down the wrist, crown pressing into the hand

>>15379962

>>15379954
Gross how? It's not like I went crazy with the aesthetics, I just ripped off a vintage Tudor without the gilded details.

>>15379976
serious question:
this was some country's tv test-pattern back in the 80s, right?

>>15379977
The big metal sides are fucking wild

anyone know anything about vintage Helbros watches?

>>15379984
i believe multiple countries used that pattern as test pattern
saw it in the 90s a lot

>>15379976
not that anon but looks kinda based to me

>>15379989
That's just the angle, the domed crystal magnifies everything.

>>15379984
It's the Philips pattern test card, used in most PAL countries since the early 70s.

>>15379991
no, only saw this while browsing last week . Its sold already

>>15379594
I don't think that's relevant in this case though? He wants a watch that's mechanical but tough and affordable.
Never said anything about any military service.

>>15380018
thats snazzy

>>15377783
Ball Engineer Master II. It's hand winding.

>>15379822
Don't get the 41 mm version, it looks too big

>*solves watches forever*

>>15380079
That’s cute, but it’s no 5610. The one true watch.

>>15380079
imagine wearing that to a business meeting with high flying clients. lmao

>>15380099
I work in contract law and I have sat in on meetings with literally tens of millions of dollars of money involved and half the people wear quartz mall shitters under 200 dollars
In the grand scheme of things almost nobody will ever care about your watch

>>15380099
i work at a cvs

>>15380099
Imagine believing that people posting on a Taiwanese cat fisting blog routinely go to business meetings with high flying clients

any Swiss executives in this thread? I'm gonna kick your ass

Thoughts on Movado?

I like their small classic looking watches.
>Circle face
>No markings, only hands and the dot
>Black background
>Gold trim
>Slim black leather band

They feel like a timeless piece.

>>15379704
If you can't afford a fucking Daytona just don't buy a watch that looks like a fucking Daytona.
That's just one step above buying a Daytona replica, but still nigger tier behavior.

>>15380205
I think they're nice but a lot of """"watch people"""" classify them as fashion watches even though they are well built and have been around for ages.
I wouldn't buy one though. I wouldn't wear it often enough.

the rolex daytona is ugly

>>15379303
At first sight I thought it was a dog eating.

Why people hate so much the Milgauss?

>>15380229
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ROLEXX!!!!!!!!!!!! MY AD SAID CHINESE WATCHES ARE ILLEGAL!!!!!!

>>15380232
you're ugly

>>15380229
no u

>>15379763
would have topped up a bit more for the mechanical version, but I guess thats good enough. These homage stuff are great value

>>15380237
i think its the best looking modern rolex around. It has character

>>15380237
there are a couple reasons but they all relate to it being a pretender. it's not a real milgauss, it's a re-dialed oyster perpetual. it has no tool watch credentials, it is LARPing. its magnetic resistance is also pathetic when you compare it to something like omega's new co-axial master movement which is many times more antimagnetic but crammed into a bunch of watches that don't even advertise it. the milgauss is fake heritage bullshit like all of rolex. in fact, it exemplifies it. the watch looks alright, but past the surface level everything about it is pathetic and fake as fuck.

>>15380237
>that 6 o'clock marker

>>15380237
It's the Harry Potter scar hand that makes it look ridiculous for me. The white dial was kinda nice though.

>>15380248
You know that even though it's still called Milgauss it's actually got a lot more resistance to magnetic fields than the original 1000 Gauss now?
And what would a "real" one even be in your opinion? A slightly modified Oyster Perpetual like they were in the past? Or a rehash of the then also pretty new Submariner?

>>15380266
how about they actually make a new watch?

>>15380269
>black bay 58 with BLUE DIAL

Where are the cheap used watches?

Arent people meant to be out of jobs and doesnt the average person only have $50 in the bank or some shit.

Why arent the prices of used watches going down the toilet as people are desperate for money?

>>15380277
because god hates you for masturbating to furry porn.

>>15380269
You mean a new watch like they did with the Milgauss? Or are you upset about the name they gave their new watch? Because naming watches after discontinued ones is a typical Rolex thing but the Milgauss isn't even the worst offender. The Air King is such a downgrade in terms of looks compared to the original that I wonder how they even sell any of these.
I bet it's the antimagnetic resistance that the new Air King offers.

recc me a daily-wear watch under 3k

>>15380266
Actually even the original Milgauss had that zig zag seconds hand.They made it of a flashy orange, but overall it doesn't even look too much of a masquerade

>>15380284
there is nothing new about the milgauss. it's an old dial slapped onto an existing platform. it's basically an official frankenwatch.
>b-b-but air kang is worse
yeah who fucking cares you rolex shills are such brainlets all you know how to do is get mad and try to change the subject. I'm not talking about the air kang you mouthbreather, shut the fuck up if you're going to "argue" this dishonestly. you can't defend the milgauss. it's shit. it's a bullshit pretender overpriced redial fashion watch. fuck off.

I stated leather strap and not metal. Metal looks like shit, leather strap looks beautiful.

But aside from that, what exactly is "shit" about them?

>>15380205
not my thing at all but they're alright
i can see the minimalist but yet very recognisable look working for many people

In love with it since the day it came out. Disappointed it's only in men's sizing.

so does seiko make any digital watches anymore? I want something that isn't a Casio.

>>15380277
All the broke people who are now unemployed could never afford watches in the first place.

>>15380293
>please give me a new watch
>no, not new like this. I meant another kind of new
I dont get your reasoning here, can you explain to me what you meant? Going by your definition there hasn't been a "new" watch since the quatz crisis.
Of course this is an exaggeration but I can't think of more than three totally new platforms- in mechanical watches - since the cold war ended. Sure Rolex are maybe a bit more lazy with innovating their product stack compared to the industry average but nobody is forcing you to get a Rolex. Mechanical watchmaking is a backwards business and history is the most important factor together with craftsmanship if you still want to market and therefore sell your watches.

>>15380232

>>15380387
they make a couple but they are not value kings like casio. digital seikos are kind of a novelty and priced expensively. I think that the fieldmaster is cool. it's a digital tuna

Wait, someone a few posts above said the Rolex Explorer is a boomer watch.

What did they mean by this?

>>15380405
You rambled for a paragraph and said absolutely nothing. "abloobloobloo yes you're right Rolex just rehashes shit over and over but who cares, just don't buy it lol mechanical watches suck anyway" Holy shit you are seriously pathetic willing to throw all of horology under the bus to suck some Rolex dick. Disgusting apologist.

>>15380413
Please explain to me where I sucked Rolex off? In English this time if possible.

>>15380338
They look like mall shitters, oh wait they are. you can buy one if you want, I could care less.

>>15380385
if you're an actual femanon, i think women look good with men size watches

>>15380385
>>15380456
Many women have started to wear larger mens size watches. It's not that uncommon anymore and I agree, they can look great.

>>15380453
>They look like mall shitters, oh wait they are

Why don't you explain yourself further, instead of just spouting buzzwords?

>>15380456
>>15380459
The only problem is the watch slide off of my wrist. It's already smaller than most women's; slightly less than 5.5." I've tried taking some links off of my dad's Rolex to try his on. There was a point I couldn't take any more off and it was still too loose. The face of the watch alone is exactly the same size as my wrist, so then there's that space hanging off the edge too. Kinda bummed.

>>15380467
isn't it just higher end Tissot? Just get a Tag

>>15380468
Oh, that does suck. I guess it'll depend on the exact watch and not just the dial size but the lug-to-lug dimensions.
