nothing wrong with nomos lugs. Maybe check your eyes!

>>15504103
Iven they do not allow you to close the watch you can still put the watch and hold the bracelet with your other arm, but one important thing, look at a mirror with you palm open and resting on your chest,wrist circumference changes depending on the arm position, when you check your watch time your wrist is at its minimal width, that's why is important not getting oversized watches, because on that position can look extremely weird if there is too much lug overhang. So if you are not sure and the size is borderline, go to the store and try it on person, based on the rule your wrist is around 55mm, so 48mm lug to lug maybe could be acceptable, but you must see if you like the style of that watch, I think it would be too big for that kind of non tool watch.

I want an entry level full skelly watch, on a nh35 or something equivalent, maybe €150ish.

>>15504119
is this shopped?

>>15504119
The small tangente is ok and I think they have another model with normal lugs, it get ridiculous on their other watches,I don't know why the fuck they give their smallish watches that kind of long lugs, that brand would benefit a lot from short lugs.

What is the appeal of Nomos?
I think they look fine, if not a bit on the plain side.

>>15504130
okay thank you, on friday i'll just visit one of the shops and check it out. i think i can go for the normal 29er instead, that's a huge difference with 36.6mm size.

>>15504163
36,6mm is a nice size, I have 17,5mm wrists and my first expensive watch will be a 36mm watch, of course it's a matter of personal taste, but I think smaller watches wear better, see people from the past wearing even 33mm watches without looking femenine, now the trend is wearing the biggest watch possible or you will be a sissy.

>>15504161
Exactly that, non flamboyand or tacky watches, minimalistic watches based on the original bauhaus style they ripped from other brands from the past.

>>15504102
its not great, but its definitely usable

>>15503986
>>- Dress watch for suits and other formal attire.
what if you don't have any

Can’t stand how this becomes a few seconds off after a day

>>15504210
Then your formal attire is the pair of black jeans with the fewest extra holes, and a watch that doesn't scream "James Bond visiting his sister's godmother's 105th birthday party".

>>15504213
7s26 is a entry tier basic workhorse that is kinda infamous for its hit or miss accuracy. Mine ran at ~ +25s/d
while being very similar, the 4r36/NH36 has the opposite reputation

>>15504213
Toss out the shitty movement and drop in a nh36

>>15504225

Can you recommend a similar product that’s more accurate? Preferably with a white face?

>>15504234
you can open up the back and regulate it to make it more accurate. With patience you can get it to <5s
be sure to hit the correct arm though. Look up a youtube vid
i was too lazy to do mine, and it didnt bother me that much.

the other choice for accuracy is quartz.

>>15504220
I only have black cargo pants though, what's a good watch for that?

>>15504247
Richard Mille

>>15504247
some meme blackout watch. On ballistic nylon. And maybe a button compass on it too.

>>15504247
Then you'd cast decorum to the four winds and colour coordinate with your combat boots.

Talk me out of buying this Glycine Combat Sub /wt/. It’s about a $100 more than most Combat Subs are retailing for, but I really like the bronze coloring.

>>15504292
the only /wt/ approved Glycines are the Airman reissues

>>15504292
>ugly mercedes hands with no lume at the pointed tip
>meme bronze for the PATINA

sure........................

will i regret choosing this as my dress pick? i really like it but i can see it being obnoxious after a couple of months of wearing

>>15504312
What even happened to that watch? I don’t really care about the whole bronze patina meme, I just like the bronze case color. It seems like a nice alternative to the usual silver, gold, and black.

Fair point about the mercedes hands being ugly though.

>>15504300
I’m not a huge fan of how the lugs look coming off those to be honest.

>>15504335
Probably worn and used in and around the sea.
Constantly salt exposure.

>>15504300
The only glycines worth bothering with are the airman, yes.
Specifically the purist variants.
If you're buying any other airman you're doing it wrong and why the fuck are you bothering with that model in the first place?

>>15504328
its more like a sports watch.
i think its beautiful. Reminds me of a dark forest pool.
>being obnoxious after a couple of months of wearing
maybe, but I assume you would also swap it out from time to time.

>>15504335
probably left in a bucket of seawater for months on end. All these bronze watches with extreme patina are forced.

It came bros
Pretty neat as hell

>>15502057
I did it and regret nothing

>>15504371
Based and congrats

>>15504282
Which one is good, Explorer?
>>15504268
That looks like highschool shit.
>>15504292
It's not good, Airman is nice except for the date.
>>15504328
Great watch, why is it all oily though?

>>15504385
its not oil, its black mother-of-pearl

Hi! Where can you buy a pair of the Oyster style 22mm curved 3D ends, without the bracelet?
Thank you!

>>15504487
Have you tried eBay?

>>15504490
I have, they only sell full bracelets or else the flat ones like on your pic.

>>15504107

expensive watches are a good way of advertising how frivolous and foolish you are with your money, making you an excellent target for salesmen

source: am in sales

>>15504514
or you're just a gypsy

>>15504514
>bla bla bla I'm poor
Yeah we know, do you have to remind us of your seething jealousy that other people have more money than you every single thread?

>>15504538

I don't know, that makes perfect logical sense.

>>15504514
Nah, most people who spend a lot of money on watches are generally good with money and that money they spend is literally just money to burn.

Obviously there are morons who go into debt, but they are a minority.

Just picked this up today.

>>15504570
Couldn't afford a real Rolly?

>>15504587
>Rolex
Great if you like being stabbed

>>15504590
You think those monkey's with knives will be able to tell the difference between a Tudor and a Rolex from 6 feet away?

>>15504593
Good troll, nice troll.

>>15504595
I want to be on your side but please lose the fucking name

>>15504570

>>15504597
Why should he? Why doe sit bother you? Eat shit bitch

>>15504587
Lol, shame your cracker dad couldn't afford a condom.

>>15504570

>>15504601
>Why should he?
WE ARE ANONYMOUS!!!!!

>>15504606
Exactly my pont

You are NPC and fake news

I only ever wear Vostok

>>15504605
It's the Black Bay 58, which is slimmer than the original black bay.
>>15504598
It's the angle

>>15504611
I've had one for about 5 years. Use it as my beater. Built like a tank.

>>15504610
>>15504607
>>15504601
can you please only enter this thread when you have a real watch to talk about? and also condense your fucking posts more, you clog up and derail every thread I see you in.

>>15504595
All I implied was that buying a Tudor in lieu of Rolex for the reason that owning a Rolex will get you stabbed (but a Tudor won't) is bullshit.
I am not >>15504587
I have no beef with Tudor.

Tudor is cringe

Orient is Nissan, Citizen tier
gross

What does /wt/ think of NATO straps

>>15504631
i like them, but only for certain watches.

>>15504621
>a Rolex will get you stabbed (but a Tudor won't) is bullshit.
No it's not.... Rolex is a big target, and they know the fucking difference. How many people are stabbed for an Invicta Pro Diver? Nobody.

>>15504634
I put them on every watch lol

>>15504631
It depends. I prefer solid color and single-pass because the normal NATO and Zulu straps are double-layered, making the watch sit higher. Some Zulu straps are also single-layer, but then they are thicker nylon.

>>15504631
I've got loads. Put them on a lot of my sports watches for summer.

can you please explain what you guys mean by beater and shitter? is it watches that i buy exactly for the purpose of not giving a fuck about them and basically wear them when getting drunk and cleaning my toilet? do i buy them specifically or do i downgrade an old one? is beater and shitter the same thing? i saw an anon call his entire collection shitters...

>>15504645
Beater watch is a watch you don't mind getting scratched up.
Shitter - is a watch snob term for a watch that you don't like. I believe the term was made popular by Archie Luxury

>>15504631
Nice on divers.

Can't wait for my SKX007-J

>>15504645
>>15504650
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t086Ah8Nkm0

>>15504645
shitter: any watch that you think is cheap, low quality, or just not anything special.
beater: watch that you'll wear and don't really care if it gets damaged.

both terms are relative

>>15504645
Beater is a watch you can wear moving the lawn or working on your car (lol as if anyone here does those things) a shitter is any watch that costs less than $40,000.

>>15504653
Yeah, get one before they're all bought up. Comfy as hell. If you're lucky to get one where bezel and chapter ring line up, you're onto a good watch.

>>15504645
>beater
a rugged watch that you dont babysit nor care at all if it gets scratches or dings (gshock, vostoks, field/dive watches etc)
>shitter
any non haute-horologie common watch, used either as a term of affection ("Man I love this little shitter") or as a jab on watches you dont like ("imagine paying this much for a shitter watch lmaooo")
>dogshit
a watch thats shitty beyond redemption and should be thrown into the wood chipper

>>15504654
You look like a cheap, nasty, repulsive, piece of shit, Archie.

>>15504677
Yeah, he is. I don't like people who go on about "shitters" etc. You generally get what you pay for.

>>15504654
Archie looks like the type of guy who smells like garbage.

>>15504677
I don't know the appeal of that guy, only watched some videos from him and looks repulsive, a fat dude yelling nonsense and apparently claiming having the absolute knowledge about class.

recommend me a quirky shitter <$500 to buy
no dinnerplates or digital, preferably not a quartz
something uncommon that has real character and not just sub homage #8763876

>>15504694
When he calms down, he knows his stuff and is quite astute... Unfortunately these moments of lucidity are rare islands in an ocean of mental illness.

>>15504654
Pretending is life, nigga. That's hustlers start out and get to the top. Ponzi typeof schemeing

>>15504721
I'm sure you've already got a Vostok

>>15504721
Look up Straton watches. Microbrand with some interesting pieces.

>>15504721

>>15504665
Getting my SKX013 in tomorrow. Wish me luck on the chapter ring lottery!

>>15504753
Good luck, anon.

>>15504753
Good luck! As for mine, I made peace with the fact that it's probably gonna be a misaligned one

>>15504107
I need that

Does anyone know the model?

>>15504741
>$500 quartz shitters sold out

Literally how. Very cool designs though.

>>15504757
Thanks!
>>15504758
Thanks! I honestly wont be too disappointed if it did. I think its a great looking watch and any kind if "defects" just adds to its character and history.

I'm going to be getting this soon in the green strap with the grey mineral face. Reminds me of a Hamilton. Automatic too. Really love the look of it.

>>15504773
They're a microbrand, so they run limited batches of watches. They have quite a following, so get on their email list and they'll let you know when their next run is.

>>15504312
>free tetanus shot with every purchase

>>15504779
If the bezel doesn't align, you can always take out the insert and replace it so it aligns. I did it with mine. Chapter ring is a bit more of a challenge.

>>15504786
>Geckota C-04
There are some good mecha-quartz watches out there at the moment. :
Dan Henry, Geckota, Straton

Must suck ass being a wristlet bro

most non fat guys are wristlets

>>15504786
Another dainty pusher chrono shitter, with a dubious name, retarded almost Rolex hands, bullshit tachy markings, fucked up lugs that look like they'll break if you turn your wrist, and subdials looking like Marty Feldman's eyes.

>>15504824
whats wrong with those lugs and the markings
how about this $450 one (another mechaquartz)

>after lusting over the blue Seiko Aplinist for months finally pull the trigger and bought one new off some guy
>runs 30+ a day, decide to send it to Seiko still under warranty
>they confirm they received it August 4th
>after waiting over a week for an update, emailed them and they said it wouldn't be done until fucking Sept 4th.
Anyone else have some horrors stories about the Seiko Service Center in the US? Seems absolutely insane to have to wait a month for a basic serving/regulating. Hoping it comes back in the same condition that I sent it in.

>>15504792
Yeah I figured, I plan to take out the bezel anyway to add a coin edge bezel and a fully lumed insert.

>>15504840
Isn't Seiko stated tolerances something like -15/30+ per day anyway?

Should I get the baby SKX or a Kamasu for my twig 6.5in wrists? If the latter, is the blue or green one easier to dress with?

>>15504820
True, I used to weight 68kg, my wrists were 16cm, now after quarantine and lack of cycling i weight 78kg and my wrist are at 17,5cm.

>>15504848
Depends on the movement but for the 6r15 -15/+25. Not that out of tolerance but compared to my SARB with the same movement which is only about ~+5 seconds a day it felt way too unacceptable.

>>15504855
I faced this decision and I still feel wrong choosing the SKX over the Kamasu based on specs and price alone, but I just really like the look of the SKX and I can always get a Kamasu down the line since they are still being produced. If I went with the Kamasu Id choose blue.

Any fans of GS/TP? Thinking of gifting myself one.

>>15504132
>Here is your watch bro
I will unironically consider this if it didn't have the ugly numerals at the bezel, it is kind of a cool concept

>>15504876
Why the fuck is the alphabet on the dial? Why is J missing?

>>15504848
yes, -15/+25, sending it back for +5s is autism.

>>15504881
they're based on morse code pocket watches from WW2 or someshit

>>15504840
should have just went to a 3rd party or done it yourself

>>15504804
>Geckota
The W-02 with the Seagull movement is really tempting me. I need to stop coming here; I just want to be a one watch man. I can't spread the love.

i hope you’re all having a great weekend.

a few threads ago i think i saw one of you had ordered the new seiko arnie. anon who did, have you received it? i decided to order one as i need a g-shock like watch but i’m concerned about the size. it’s such a large diameter that i worry it’ll become a hindrance rather than an aid.

>>15504840
It’s okay anon, post pics when you get it back

>>15504570
Good shit. I really like mine.

>>15504883
The blue alpinist was overpriced to begin with before I had to buy it off someone else second hand. If I'm going to pay that much for a new Seiko it should at least be within spec. (but yes it was partially autism but come on 30+ seconds a day is a little ridiculous)
>>15504893
Will definitely do so going forward especially after reading some of the horror stories about the Seiko Service Center but thought I'd give them a try as it was in warranty.
>>15504910
Will do

FFS, all I want is a digital a168-like Casio with red LEDs, why is it so hard to find ?

>>15504514
I'm actually extremely stingy

>>15504937
you mean orange leds? ive never seen a casio with red led before

you can mod one yourself if you are good with such things. have seen people put in white leds in theirs so i know it can be done. Also you can tint the plastic if you want.

>>15504840

>>15504990

>>15504990
Hamilton intramatic

>>15504840
>>15504893
I think it's worth sending it back to Seiko to be fixed if it's on warranty; realistically speaking with covid a month isn't that long either.
my sarb017 has been with a seiko specialist for something like 3 months atm, not expecting it (but heres hoping)to get it back soon. That said I'm not just getting it serviced, I sent him a NE20 to cannibalize to make the movement hi-beat.
Fingers crossed anon
>>15504974
sad but true.

>>15505004
Can you please suggest one in gold that isnt $700

Where's the non colorized quartz flieger with no day/date window or branding of any kind?

>>15505046
Timex marlin, way cheaper and there are some other models I think.

>>15504570
Looks fake, the gold is not even golden.

My Kamasu is bordering on the edge of acceptable time at about +20-25 seconds per day, is it worth trying to regulate it? I swim with it though, so I don't want to fuck up the water resistance. I know older Orient movements were known for inaccuracy, so part of me wants to just live with it as one of the quirks of the watch. If the crown wasn't so troublesome to operate, I wouldn't even consider regulating desu

>It differs, however, in the execution of its finish. Whereas the GMWB5000TCM had a camouflage print laser etched into a DLC (diamond like carbon) coating over a black titanium base, here the titanium has been blued before it goes under its DLC and laser treatment. This blue hue is just enough of a change to make it stand out from its green camo sibling making this an equally collectable G-Shock for your collection.

>The premium price tag these models command is not a result of greed, but rather time, effort, and attention to detail. These robust powerhouse watches are some of the toughest and most luxurious G-Shocks ever made, and they require their own dedicated assembly line to manufacture. I understand the idea of luxury and G-Shock may irk some people, as the brand has generally been revered for its low pricing and high reliability, but let me say unequivocally that if you’re willing to spend the extra money for something high-end and out of the box – the titanium lineup of G-Shock’s is worth exploring on the wrist.

>The beauty of these models is short of a black-tie affair, they are the perfect watches for any situation as their digital features and strong build and aesthetic make them unrivaled in fashion and functionality.

what's that round casio on top right 1st pic?

>>15504631
Bad for thin wrists, even borderline-wristlets.
Makes the watch look thicker and wider.

>>15505101
Or just get a normal G-Shock and a Chinesium kit for like $150.

>>15505153
on the english market the rare orients inflate the total cost to over 30k, in the asian market maybe 15k on a bad week

>>15505155
CBX-1000 , also the arabian ones get price gouged on the english market when stock dries up, it's just a hot fun fresh look that I think really pops on the wrist

>>15505164
nah, but the 2 red orient stars are about as rare as you can get with orients outside of the royals. If you are patient on zenmarket you can absolutely get them eventually for a good price, it's just that a lot of people either don't or they don't know to go to yahoo auctions for JDM shit.

it used to be richard milles because I could not understand why the fuck they were so expensive. to be honest a lot of watches are overpriced memes to me like rolex, audemars piguet... they're nicely finished but I don't see how they can command the prices they do. meanwhile I was able to handle a lange odysseus, the original blue one, and while it was not to my taste I could see the value. I think richard milles look fucking stupid so I was thinking it's like the AP royal oak where nobody really likes it and they just say it's amazing because it's been memed into being cool by rich people like modern art where nobody actually thinks that shit looks good but they are all huffing their own farts and afraid to be the odd man out. but then I was thinking what if I'm wrong, what if there's something I'm missing that doesn't come across even in the most autistically macro publicity photos?
then a while back before all this coronavirus lockdown shit I was able to see some RMs in person and they are shit, they look more plastic in real life, like you have a 50-50 chance of getting a RM or a batman decoder ring in a box of cracker jack. fuck RM so much

>>15505295
yeah I saw some RMs in Vegas a few months back and they somehow looked worse in real life.

you absolutely should try this on before buying. numerous anons in this thread (myself included) have tried them on and realized the proportions/aesthetics are not as expected.

>>15505318
very nice, I wonder if there's anyone who can pull it off irl though (maybe a bishop in full regalia)

>>15505295
I'm my own experience, luxury watches don't look nearly as nice as they do in macro-lens photos online.

the pure white dauphine-spear hands really add a light, refined elegant touch, while bringing to mind gleaming harpoons of sailors. The myriad of blues, greens and magenta swirls evoke a sense of the uncharted seas from ancient legends, full of mystique and discovery. The shimmering abalone dial pulsates with raw electrical energy like a tropical typhoon. In the midst of such chaos, the glided logo of the esteemed swiss watchmaker floats above the purple waves, resembling a soaring albatross, flying bravely as the 12oclock index juts out like a steep seacliff.

With this unapologetic watch, chart your own course in the ocean of life! Would you be Sinbad or Captain Ahab? Hunt your own ghostly whale while armed with such an exquisite timepiece.

INVICTA©™ hits it out of the park again!

>>15505368
unironically it looks dope tho

>>15505357
its a white male butt. I am a very degenerate expert on male butts, I have seen and felt many in my time, of all different races.
(there is hair, look closely. Asian guys dont have hair on their cheeks.)

>>15505365

Honestly, it's 60 bucks and i like it a lot more than any other watch i bought for aesthetics.

another thing thats kind of nuts is that it actually goes with my entire wardrobe, which traditional watches do not.

>>15505347
>All beaters are shitters
someone post that AP with absolutely fucked up scratches and worn edges

>>15505368
Invictas are future classics. First they'll go entirely out of fashion and many mechanical ones will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical but a few decades later they will be regarded as the most iconic watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. They'll be highly collectable, especially amongst a new generation of SEA watch collectors, with the most obscene and morbidly oversized limited edition models fetching exorbitant prices. Unironically the best long term investment pieces in the market.

Some motherfucker rocking anything other than a 3000 USD+ diver on a nato just screams either poor taste or poorness in general.

If you have a SKX for the love of god at least have the decency to skip the bond nato alltogether.

>>15504883
The tolerance range should be the absolute worst it should do (and most should be much better), so outside that means something is wrong.

You're not putting a g shock on a nato unless you bought the adapters. Still waiting on mine from aliexpress.

It's forced patina and it's a bronze watch.

Isn't it stainless? That'd be silly for a dive watch..

>>15505818

You're meming, right?

>>15505823
No. Dead serious.

>>15505605
Mine is very silent, much more so than my other Miyota solar movement plastic shitter. Have to really hold it up to your ear to hear it at all, cellphone doesn't pick it up anywhere.

Highly recommend Bark and Jack NATOs. Really high quality for £20. It's on a par with my OMEGA one which costs over £100.

>>15505877
Pretty sure he means second hand ticking or sweeping, not the sound.

New shitter came in

>>15505816
Matter of preference really, I personally prefer the look of the bigger adaptors the small ones have this weird abrupt transition from watch to strap that doesn't sit well with me.

>>15505909
yeah but I'm glad to hear it isn't loud. I had a raketa back in the day that ticked so fucking loud that I couldn't sleep in the same room with it.

>>15505828

Lmao, and it isn't a pic of a force-job gone bad? I kind of get the appeal of patina in bronze, especially the bright green and orange effects.. But to have green oxidation piled up like it's been left to rot for years just looks ugly and dirty imo.

Also

Best brand of watch tools (springbar tool, etc.)?

>>15505996
Bergeon, but you better be prepared to pay out the ass for it. Although the 6767F isn't outrageously priced at least.

>>15505998
I'm fairly new to watch collecting and want to learn how to adjust bracelets and change straps on my own.

This is why I stick with vintage digital shitters, you mechanical/analogue faggots are total marks.

>>15505988
poor

>>15505909
>>15505957
Right. Well, mecaquartz has typically got a small seconds hand, so the mechanism isn't going to make much noise because the forces involved are correspondingly smaller. And it does tick once per second on that small seconds hand.

>>15504371
it will always be in the shadows of the skx

>>15506064

SKX is an overpriced shit, especially after it's been discontinued. If it were priced like the SNK (<100) maybe..

Looking at the Ray III/Kamasu myself.. Better specs than an SKX and better looking imo..Date windows are ugly as sin for all Orients though.

>>15505387
Hmmm... maybe I really should get some onvictas then, to diversify my portfolio into unconventional assets. Not like I can afford a Rolex anyways.

I need to get new straps for these watches, what type of straps should I get them?

I have been a fan of the Baltic aquascape for a while now. But actually reading more about the MIYOTA 9039 i want it even more. That movement shits all over the nh-35 and it's a full millimeter shorter than the 2824 with similar specs. Sure it's not pretty but it really drives home how ancient and outdated the nh-35 is.

>>15505718
But Perlon is a kind of plastic!

>>15506091
Tropic strapbfor the chronograph, two pice nylon straps for the other two. Looks like you need a new springbar for that chronob as well. Get some polywatch while you are at it and polish those acrylic crystals. You can get that right watch pretty nice looking with some careful cleaning.

>>15506121
Thanks for the suggestion, I got new spring bars for the Chrono and I really want to clean up the two digital watches so I will try the polywatch.

>>15506135
Don't bother with the polywatch, both of those digital Seikos will have hardlex crystals which is difficult to polish, I don't polywatch will do anything since it's for polishing acrylic.

>>15505999
>>15505996
you dont need bergeon to change straps lol. Although it feels nicer

springbar tool, caseholder, caseback pryer (also can be used for bezels), punch tool(with or without hammer) , watch hands tool, hands presser, loupe, air blower ball..
>>15506135
try autosol (metal polish)
works on the glass

>>15506120
Nylon is plastic. Watchfags can be so narrowminded sometimes. That being said EULIT is considered the best of the relatively cheap ones.

>>15506091
That watch on the right is an extremely rare and coveted model so I would not fuck around with it if you don't know what you're doing.
It's the watch from Metal Gear Solid 5

>>15506172
oh ya and of course caseback opener, a set of tweezers (i prefer the plastic ones-easier to use and no chance of scratching anything) and small pliers

>>15506185
Yeah I don't want to fuck it up it's my Dads.
All I'm doing is cleaning it up a bit and getting it a new strap. I will probably take it to a Seiko shop for new battery.

>>15506185
wasnt it in james bond 1st?cant rmb

>>15506199
It was featured as Bonds watch in octopussy.

>>15506014
time is a construct
you dont need to know the exact time, just feel and appreciate it.

>>15506202
>>15506199
Yeah that too.
Anyway I'm pretty sure that watch is now worth a couple thousand and working models are extremely, unbelievably rare. I would not just mess around with it rubbing weird shit on it.

>>15506207
Fair point, hopefully it still works it has sat unused for a long time now

>>15506014
You seriously don’t know how to read a clock? Didn’t you learn as a child?

If only Hamilton would make most of their chronos, especially the x-wind in 40-42 mm. Their 44-46 mm offerings are some of their coolest, but life as a wristlet is defined by struggle.

>>15505988
you have a bigger pic? reminds me of a tag or something

>>15506225
Those look really nice, can you put the left one next to a Rolex to compare the finishing etc?

>>15506300
speaking =/ = writing
koreans study basic english in school. they would likely have no problems reading it. (i mean, if random aliexpress sellers can do it...)Speaking fluent english is another matter

it wouldnt hurt. Just drop them an email in simple english and clear sentences, say you want to order XYZ but couldnt enter the address.

Cheifel was a 1980-1990's French company focused on design, they made mid-range quartz watches for Air France sold exclusively on Concorde flights amongst others. Yours is a later one (seems like a 2000's design to me) with a Japanese quartz movement, it's a lower range shitter but your uncle must have meant well (he probably remembered it as a good brand from the 1980-1990's) and it's a functional watch that will serve you well as an everyday piece that you don't have to worry too much about.

that and the anchor-shaped rotor ruin it.
too bad, it looks cool otherwise unlike all other skellys.

>>15506392
never read the wiki, but
"mall watches" fall into 2 kinds
the acceptable, perfectly ok watches (citizen, seiko, casio etc)
the unacceptable overpriced fashion shit (armani, esprit, DW, MVMT etc)

gshocks are great watches (arguably probably the most functional and utilitarian watch) and many here have at least one or several gshocks.

>>15506385
What is with you and your hate for the co axial, ever fucking thread. The build quality and design play a big part of the watch the co axial is just a added bonus, your so autistic you don't realinse its the sum of the parts. They pretty much made the best movement sub £4000.
