Why the fuck are you making a new thread before the old one hits bump limit?

>>15548236
It was over 300, who cares.

morning, /wt/

There is literally nothing wrong with wearing a Swatch.

Post collections and rate. Future buys or plans for your collection? I have a thing for handwond watches, all are apart from the Seamasters ofcourse.

Plans
• Blue Seamaster is going sometime
• Might get a auto Nomos
• Pick up a Nomos Orion 35mm
• Wait list for a Sub No Date, someday never
• A lange and sohne saxonia or Reverso Duo

I am looking for something that looks like this. Some two-toned black white tuxedo dial.

I would buy pic related if it was 36mm since I am a wristlet I need something that 36mm.

anyone suggestions for a budget of 1000dorrar

>>15548287
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/longines-heritage-classic-tuxedo-models-introducing

these should go down in price on gray market

>>15548284
And there is nothing wrong with wearing a Patek.

>>15548285
i would sell everything except the speedmaster and buy a JLC and IWC.

>>15548284
technically-- there is nothing wrong.
but swatch watches are plastic disposable fashion watches, made to be worn and thrown away. Cant get the movement swapped out when it dies (there is no caseback),and integrated straps make changing them out a pain. Imagine paying $50-$80 for such a thing, when casio only asks for $15 and AE brands give you the house and the car for $80.

swatch watches are the bottom barrel of the Swatch Group--scratch that, they are the drain gutter that the barrel sits on. Hate the feminine bulbous curvy shape that reminds me of an overweight fat woman. Outside of certain iconic watches (jellyfish, random ghost, halloween etc) they have little worth.

>>15548300
>just sell everything and buy the usual watches
get some imagination

>>15548285
I'm amazed. A /wt/ collection that isn't shit. Completely agree that of those Seamasters need to go. Good luck with the Sub. I'm going to apply for the 126619LB

>>15548313
you think a JLC and IWC are a step back from that redditors collection? interesting.

>>15548305
>entire selling point is that bracelets and batteries are swapped for free by licensed shops that are in every department store, you only pay the new materials. It works on normies who have no idea how watch maintenance works and don't know the difference between a repair shop and a stall at the mall
>disposable
dude what

>>15548300
I kind of just want to add watches slowly over time. I did the whole 2 watch thing and I like having a small collection, the hording and own is very satisfying.

As of right now watches are fun money for me, 7 watches under 10k. If I want 7 watches higher end level, it would be 25k+ and it's a bit more serious then. I will in time but get to that level but I would rather invest most of my money now while I'm young.

>>15548294
Why does it have two exclamation marks on the dial?

>>15548333
a watch collection is not about getting watches other people approve of

a watch collection is about getting watches you like, watches that reflect your own personal tastes. There is no real right or wrong as long as you are happy.

whats the point of having a "collection" of the usual XYZ watches, like checking the tickboxes off a list of the "top ten watches under $20000"? soulless and insipid, reeks of needing validation and asspats.

>>15548341
they are disposable because the watch cannot be opened to be repaired and they have gone to great lengths to ensure that in the past. They even released mechanical watches that was sealed and with plastic parts inside so its eventual demise is 100% guaranteed.

>bracelets and batteries are swapped for free
>this is somehow a selling point
total kek, you can do those things yourself so easily for totally free also.

>>15548345
fair enough
>>15548353
i'm not going to disagree with that. however, i dont see how a JLC doesnt fit into that collection as it is lacking in anything dressier. an IWC would get you a top quality watch that satisfies the aesthetics of both stowa and laco, and getting rid of the blue seamaster at the very least reduces redundancy further. the homos is whatever and the seagull is pretty much junk.

>>15548370
>and the seagull is pretty much junk.
lol why? because its cheap?
there is nothing wrong with shitters (i would even say that everyone needs some) and it actually has the most character in that box. mechanical specs and history wise it delivers so much for $300. The HKED was specifically made to be as close as possible to the actual 1963 originals.

>>15548360
>total kek, you can do those things yourself so easily for totally free also.
And yet it STILL works as a selling point for Swatch and every trendy fashion watch brand.
Goes to show how little the public at large knows about watches, especially the post-85 generations.

>>15548380
yeah, it's not even worth servicing, and since its chinese trash made with literal slave labor. i highly doubt it lasts long or is built to a good standard.

>it's in my city
>they "attempted delivery" today
I'll go to the post office tomorrow to try to get it and hope they didn't fuck something up.

>>15548396
>made with literal slave labor
All labour that isn't a passion project is slavery.

>>15548284
But it has to be an Olympic themed Swatch with Greek atheletes in it.

>>15548407
>those little dick hands

>>15548396
so you have no experience with the watch and are basing your deridment on personal bias
>with literal slave labor
the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the computer you use all have slavery somewhere. Do you care? why selectively complain about this thing here?

>>15548294
>absolute SEX design
>here's your date window bro :^)
Just do a pointer date for fuck's sake

bought a San Martin Pilot as recommended by /wt/.

How did I do?

>>15548427
KEK

>>15548427
pretty good, its hard to find the mark xi design too, usually its just type A or type B

cant go wrong for the price

>>15548294
>Expensive as fuck watch
>date/month window has not the same colour as the dial
>muh craftsmanship

These fucking idiots can spend days polishing shit until they can see their jew noses on the tiniest surface and they still don't know how to make a coloured date wheel.

>>15548439
They know how but they do not want to. Their excuse will probably be that anything but white would degrade clarity.

>>15548427
Very good

>>15548439
lol, because having to make a small custom order for specific coloured datewheels from the china factory is too much hassle.

This is absolute GOAT

>>15548473
I'm not a fan of the dial pattern, but everything else looks pretty great.

>>15548473
>piss yellow lume without real patina
larp watch

>>15548473
I really like the rail master line but something about the dial just keeps putting me off.

>>15548473
dial like the reception desk of a shitty trendy hotel

What do you guys think of this Citizen watch, I plan to use it day to day in college. Its cheap and simple, but I feel like the golden color is a bit too showy?

>>15548531
I like it, can imagine a whole bunch of straps looking good on it. The only grievance would be the date window being to far inboard instead of just replacing the '3' marker.

>>15548531
the colour is probably in the bronze range (like the oris big crown) but the image is too clear,looked other images and for sure it does not seems to be the classic gold.

>>15548531
is this an homage of the oris big crown?

>>15548325
Thanks, I still haven't got my head around the whole white gold thing. I do love Rose gold, the Rose gold daytona is amazing, that would be my pick.

>>15548370
Ah I don't know if I could or would trust you recommendion, you blast the Nomos Club but recommend an IWC. They use a ETA in a £4k watches (mk13).

I do think Nomos is a better brand than IWC honestly from a value stand point and at £10k+ for a big pilot or £7k for a Portuguese the last thing I would buy is an IWC.

I'm a very casual dresser so no need for a dress watch but I do like them.

>>15548396
I did always plan on just replacing the movement, they are about £80. I have watch straps that cost more. I wear it when I travel to the likes of London.

>>15548565
Probably, this one is just 150€-160€ tho. Im not trying to wear a 2k watch to college.

>>15548347

So that you can see what time it is in the dark. It's easy to misread a dial that just has 12 identical dots of lume around the dial.

>>15548585

I just noticed the lumed numerals. Nvm, they probably just do it for giggles.

>>15548583
ya i understand
i wear shitters myself, im frugal too like that
thats a good price, though personally i would prefer the plain SS one as scratches on a plated watch would annoy my ocd to no end.

>he spent money to buy an autowinder instead of just wrapping the watch in some socks and throwing it into the washing machine on LOW TUMBLE DRY

200 IQ or 200 IQ?

>>15548607

>not the old tactical watch swap before fap

>>15548427
Seagull really needs to start paying me. But instead i shill them FOR FREE.

opinions or experiences on this watch from anyone?

>>15548607
what was wrong with the classic put 'em on the mountainbike spokes before riding to work trick?

>>15548644
This watch should only be purchased by autodidacts.

Is there a way to set up notifications on Chrono24 for certain watches when their listings pop up ?

>>15548607
my dryer has an "air dry" setting. no heat. folding a pillow over the watch and tying a rope around it would probably work perfectly.

>>15548607
What's the point of watch winders?, are them just for men that treat watches like women treat jewelry putting one or two watches every day?,is that bad leaving a watch inside a box and just shake it a bit when you are gonna use it?

>>15548593
I was also seeing some cheap Timberland watches around 100-200 to wear in college, are they worth it or should I stick to Citizens?

>>15548653

Yes, they allow you to save a particularly configured Search. You can then change your settings for when a model you searched for goes up for sale. First save the search then go to your settings.

Is there any particular reason why watches are set to 10:08 in advertisements and photos?

>>15548681
Superstition, it's a old thing that most of the people doing it don't even know about.

>>15548681
it forms a sort of smiley face and the hands niceley frame the logo, that's all

the don watch must be one of the best omegas

>>15548681
Never noticed it, but I have looked, and 99,9% of watches images from google are like that or 1:50, and most of the seconds hands are on the 30s-37s range and some at 12 o clock.

It's probably some kind of photography autism,I like road bikes and there was some meme/stupid rule that somehow always were true that stated that a bike must have the crakset (pedals for non cycling people) on a certain position and the chain must be on the big chainring and the middle of the cassette.It was true for commercial images, and meme for people posting or showing his own bikes.
On watches is probably because it has some kind of simmetry that appeals people more than other positions, if every watch pic is like that, there must be a good reason.

>>15548681
it's symmetrical.
looks better than any of the other symmetries.

>>15548681

Just a marketing meme from what I know. Like >>15548689 says, clockfaces look 'happy' if they're roughly at 10 past 10 or 10 to 2.

>>15548707

Hands at the top are usually chronos.

>>15548710

Also that

>>15548677
perfect, thank you!

>>15548663
>just shake it a bit when you are gonna use it
...and you have to set it every time, which in the case of annual or perpetual calendars can be quite complicated. Also it's nice to have the watch ready to go at all times. Other than that i don't see the point, some people argue that constant winding can increase wear, but that's debatable.

>>15548772
Nobody actually wears watches with perpetual calendar or moon phase or other advanced complications like that. They just buy them and then put em in a box somewhere. Maybe look at em once a year.

>>15548405
Shall I start with the skeletons soon?
Hope I'll see my Komandirskie this year

>>15548798
What country are you in?
I'm in Bulgaria, my first order this summer took 2 weeks, this one took 2 weeks and several days.

>>15548681
it's so that the hands don't cover up the logo or words at the bottom in promotional photos

>>15548788
>They just buy them and then put em in a box somewhere.
or in a safe... It's probably true for most, those watches see less daylight than a vampire does... and if you live in a big city that's realistically the safest thing to do, you'd get robbed otherwise.

>>15548825
Do robbers actually look at your wrists? If someone is going to rob you they'll take your Casio, they don't give a fuck.

>>15548230
Snowflake or Washi paper dial?

>>15548569
How does the finish on the Nomos compare to the Laco? What about Stowa? I've seen the Nomos in person but none of the other ones.

>>15548807
Sweden.
Shit's fucked. I've had stuff from Meranom sent back to Russia after 2 months in postnord limbo before.
But when I buy from Singapore or Japan I have it in my hand after 4-5 days. Are there some new sanctions after they poisoned that politician or something?

Armand the watch guy (Watch chronicler) has a nice soothing voice and is informative. And Watchfinder & Co. makes well produced videos. I check some other channels, but those are focusing on lower price tier, so you're not interested anyway...

He is like a reviewbrah who takes himself more seriously.
His videos are top comfy until you get to the unfunny dinosaur skits.
He strikes a good balance of being both informative, having some production value (which really matters when it comes to watches once you get to stuff like macro shots) and having some presence on camera rather than being just some guy reading specs out loud.

But more importantly, which watch video cringster is the worst?

Hey so my moms gonna die in a few weeks and wants to get me a watch. I have a Tag professional and a Movado museum already, would like something to go along with them. Maybe something all black? I like the Tudor black ceramic watch but imo it’s a bit big. Only restrictions are $5k budget and has to be wearable at my job as an accountant
Thanks frens

>>15549109
Nomos

The writing, and, vocal affect, of Watchfinder, is truly, something to behold. Indeed, it seems that, every video, he is doing everything in his power, to drag out, over the course of 10 minutes, regurgitations of wikipedia articles in the most bloated, and fatuous prose.

Federico is basically the opposite with his underproduced content. Fat, concise, knowledgeable, has actual opinions.

What are some cheap watches with good/interesting history?

>>15549120
Whats your price point ? Or what are you thinking price wise ?

>>15548989
!Ay carumba¡

>>15549124
Sub 200 usd. F91w levels even better.

>>15549119
I fucking hate how that watchfinder faggot moves his hands to emphasize. Wouldnt be so bad if we saw him but he's off camera doing it. It pisses me off so much, I dont watch that channel anymore. Shame because the photography/ videography macro shots are great. Luckily there are other options for well filmed content.

>>15549130
Well then literally the F91 lol. Its been worn by the President of the USA and worlds most wanted terrorist.

>>15548427
got the same one, currently waiting for delivery. Best daily beater you can get imo

>all these ugly, similar, autistic watches
I have held my tongue long enough. These threads are cringe.

Here is an actual, good watch. Many will think I am trolling. I am not.

>he doesn't have an indian shitter with temperature gauge
ngmi

>>15549146
I wish it didn't have "ears" that stick out like that. Otherwise its not bad looking.

>>15549146
It is a good watch, just not my thing.

>>15549146
Are you that one guy from /g/ who thinks analog dials are for hipsters

>>15549117
Thanks

>>15549177
As an accountant, may I suggest doing something like rose gold ? Something with color ideally.

>>15549109
first off, really sorry to hear that, anon. stay strong friend.
>>15549117
i second this. one positive thing about going with nomos here is that you could get them to engrave it for you, to have something to remember your mom by.

>>15549180
I was looking at their tetra watches, I really like the colors along with the gray bands. I mostly wear button downs with tiny patterns so those colors would be great.
>>15549181
Thanks anon, it’s been 6 months since her cancer diagnosis but now we’re at the ends. Didn’t realize they do engravings, that’s great.

>>15549109
wtf that's horrible?
Does the watch have to be all black?
That's a really hard to pull off color, why not get an engraving on something normal instead to remember her instead of getting a black watch?
5k is entrly level JLC Reverso or Rolex money. Just as a thought.
If it has to be black Omega and Tudor make a number of very black watches.
If not there's a nearly infinite number of watches with black face that can be put on a black strap and look good (pic not really related)

>>15549193
Well I hope the colors work out! Just, please do not go with black. If it were my mom, she wouldnt want that, she would rather get me something she knew I would wear often.

The Dutch have a good out look on life, you should get color to celebrate her life after all ! God speed to you anon

>>15549193
Sorry dude, I also lost my mother to that damn illness whe I was young.The other anon was on point, Nomos+engraving would be the best option in that price range for a watch like that.

>>15549204
>>15549206
>>15549207
Thanks guys, blacks probably too bleak for a gift. Tbh i don’t know much about watches, I didn’t realize the colors you’d see that nomos had were doable without looking tacky, so I figured black would be easy.

>>15548973
I'd chuf her tits to bits if you know what I mean

>>15549109
That's sweet of your mom Anon

>>15549109
Imo I would let her choose it herself.

>>15549222
i was thinking this too. maybe get like 3 watches you really like and let her choose one + engrave.

Evening, boys.

>>15549217
Right? She’s knows I’m into fashion so it’s really nice.
>>15549222
>>15549217
That’s essentially what I’m doing, is getting a few watches together than seeing her favorites

I'm going to say the fit and finish is best on the nomos. Its only poshished with no bushing tho but overall its well done, runs about 2+ secs a day

Stowas and Lacos brushing is about the same, they both run 5+ secs a day. The lacos movement is the best feeling to wind by far better (Unitas), then the stowa and nomos, nomos is very fine and light to wind but some might like that (most refined).

If they were all the same money I would take the Nomos, thinner, inhouse movement, adjusted to 6 positions. The lacos movement is lovely, finishing is on part with both but its a 42mm 3 hander if your okay with that. The Stowa its lighter and smaller (40mm) and a little underwhelming vs the laco in all honestly but that is due to size and weight, it wears better for it. Fit and finish its about the same with a timeless design.

You couldn't go wrong with any of them, idk if the Nomos is worth £500 more, probably not but it is the best watch under a loop. All better than any Swiss and Japanese watches at the same price regardless.

They often have interesting articles when they aren't fellating themslves off over a "vintage modern" travel clock.
Cool article though and I'm glad I decided to actually get myself a yellow gold Rolex for christmas. I've gotta sell a few shitters first though and I hope they don't jack up the prices in the meantime because of a sudden interest.

Just search 'vintage seiko quartz' and find whatever looks the closest.

Put a zuludiver NATO on my Casio seeing as I broke the strap and wanted to upgrade it.

>>15549271
After that article that watch is now worth a lot more money. Damn nice looking watch too. YG + black dial is a killer combo.

>>15549526
I honestly can't tell from that pic, but my ideals on fakes are different than others. If a watch is so expensive yet so easy to fake, then the value is in the brand, and wearing it is fine. Not that I'd wear one.

>>15549271

Loving this fucking thing. I think my watchlust is satisfied, at least for a year or so.

>>15549606
What did you have to do to set it? Is the hidden pusher for setting the perpetual calendar?

>>15549109
I’m so sorry, man. My dad died a couple years ago, and it sucked, but when my mom goes I will completely crumble. I would not go for a Nomos though, too stylized, too trendy, I’d do maybe a GS SBGA203 or something like that.

>>15549614
Yeah the button sets the correct month and year. You fuck with the second hand to determine the number of years from the most recent leap year etc. My watch came set correctly (to Japanese time) from the vendor so I didn’t have to fuck with it too much

>>15549641
Nice. I love it anon. Enjoy

the only thing keeping me from becoming a full on drug addict, degenerate vagabond is the fear of shaming my parents.

if they die on my i will likely follow not long after.

>>15549586

Just wanted to talk watches, with some guys who like watches, is it so much to ask for in a watch thread. Think its time I most on, been here from /g/.

>>15549603

Nice collection, goes without saying, loved the 5711 from before the hype. Enjoy the new white gold sub when you get it.

5711 outstanding, the curves on the case just make it. I used to like the Royal Oak over it but I've come around 360 now.

I always like the black gmt, near bought one before they discontinued it. I would love a jubilee not going to lie and the new tones on the bezel are a great improvement.

I like the 2 tone sub in blue more but I would worry about full gold standing out to much.

IWC, I could never get along with the brand, they aways have to have a date windows on clean dial, killed a lot of the watches for me. I use to think the portugieser were some of the best looking watches ever made.

Omega 1967, dad has a 18k one, same sort of age, started of my whole interest in watches.

Breitling 1946, I think vintage Breitling is underrated and good buying.

Bulova, little out of my tastes but it probably has some history with you.

>>15549580
well i saw your post but i dont want to post my "collection" yet since its only 2 shitters

>>15549687
I felt the same way until I had children of my own. Now I have to keep it together for the rest of my natural life.

>>15549119
Faterico is kind of based. As much as I’d like to hate him his videos are pretty enjoyable.

>>15548918
hes both

i like that he has so much enthusiasm for shitters and reviews them equally. Some channels focus exclusively on entry luxury watches and up and those can get a little too sterile. I always skip the cringey dinosaur shit though.

>>15548285
Sorry for the potato quality but I'll take a normal picture once I get a proper box and it's not dark outside.

I should wear my 1963 more. I guess I wasn't because it was summer and it's on leather. Next for me is going to be a BB 58 Blue on bracelet if I can get one by next May or, if I can't, a Tangente or Orion auto. I'd prefer a Minimatik but I want something with 5ATM minimum.

>>15549727
Also, I recommend the 1963. You have to play the QC lottery but if you win it you get a fun watch with surprisingly tactile pushers. I guess due to the column wheel.

I can't post my collection since most of my watches are stolen or scammed from redditors and one of them will start a thread about it.

Right now i have bought two g-shocks and two casios. Thinking of buying more watches for fun but dont think its a hood idea to waste money on jewelry i dont need nor the space for when i move it all. Why does collecting have to be such a bitch

>>15549737
Do it

>>15549740
Just buy one nice analog one and be done with it. What regular casios do you have?

>>15549740
well thats the fun isnt it. hunting for stuff and deciding
there are plenty of nice watches under $500. $300 even.
no love for mechanicals? little spinning gears and springs

>>15549727

I very much enjoyed your collection, the 70s constellations are so understated, I think in time they will be more popular.

How is the pointer date, I have played with the idea of getting one.

Had the same gshock, i moved to anolog only as it made me very lazy when reading the time on my other watches. I replaced it with the hked.

Nice to see a lord sekio, I've started to see less of them. I wanted to pick one up in tokyo but never found the right one.

Nice collection , I like a lot of it.

>>15548285

Turns out Lange have surprised everyone a release this year. Three honey gold models.

Can anyone ID this watch that Park Shin Hye is wearing?

>>15549774
>honeygold
Is that just yellow gold with less zinc/nickel than white gold?

>>15549788
No one knows. What makes up the alloy is a secret known only to Lange but it is harder than platinum and is supposed to be an utter bastard to work on and finish hence why they do not produce many watches in it.

>>15548284
>not picking up a cheeky swatch at the duty free

>>15548406
Not if it's voluntary. Drone can do somewhere else to work if they don't like polishing watch parts.

I really want to try something on mesh bros. It looks so cozy. Shame this thing is like 42mm instead of 38-39. I've got nothing fitting to put mesh on

That watch is chintzy feeling, ultra susceptible to water damage, will instantly die to vibrations, and if you use the stopwatch feature it WILL eat itself alive quickly. The watch looks cool though, not yours, the standard with the nato strap. Also i dont like you :(

>>15549911
Chinese gears are shit, Chinese metal is shit. Now shrink that down to very tiny Chinese gears with very tiny chinese gear teeth, and a big ass chinese lever that pushes them around using a user operated chinese mechanical switch. Each watch basically comes out with less than 1000 clicks of that button before it blows up.

Stowa Fliger 40mm, you can get cheaper Fliger watches if you just want the style.

>>15549927
You can make watches on the fucking moon if you like. And as long as the quality control is there, you can get a nice product. But those watches have zero quality control. and their plastic crystal is bulbus and reminds me of those 25 cent machine platic toy bubble containers. AND you're a gay .

>>15549931
>being this ignorant
>not liking a bubbledomed fun watch

there are ones with sapphire crystal, but the correct choice is acrylic because that was the original crystal on the actual vintages and it looks better too. Like that anon said, QC lottery. Imagine crying over ~$250 for a mechanical column wheel chronograph

>>15549936
>Imagine crying over ~$250 for a mechanical column wheel chronograph
For 250 you should expect to buy, not rent. I would be embarrassed gifting this watch to a friend over how shoddy the damn thing is.

How much is a Grand Seiko equivalent of this watch?

Is the Invicata 8926OB a good first automatic watch? I have a budget of $100

>>15550022
if you want a spring drive, the closest reference is the SBGA285. can be had for less than 4k grey market.

>>15550022
$4600

>>15550032
And sadly it's 10 times uglier. Is there nothing that's exactly like that watch but with Grand Seiko on the dial?

>>15550033
$4100*

It's 39.4mm too

>>15550034

>>15550082

Not with those shitty sloped cheap plastic chapter rings.

Also
>Carrera

Literally watch made the rich for the poor faggots. Nobody who owns a Porsche wears a Carrera the same way nobody who owns a Bently wears a fucking Breitling for Bently. This shit is nothing more than LARPing as the wealthy. Pure cringe.

>>15550052

GS are soulless one trick pony. They've degenerated into autistic bling wore by hipster who got told off by Rolex AD so now they have to seek validation for muh zaratsu on Burmese underwater basket weaving forum.

>>15550031

Yes, the quality is infact batter than any modern Seiko garbage. No misaligned chapter rings or dust on the dial. Same features and accuracy grade as $2000 Seiko meme watches. Go for it.

>>15550120
It looks absolutely amazing, just the right amount of bling not to be too mall-watchy, but still look fun and interesting, and everything's extremely proportional (but sadly scaled up). Do you not see how perfect the dial design is? Do you not know anything about the golden ratio?

If Grand Seiko released this you retards would be lapping it up at $50k.

So I just got this for $100 aud, did I fuck up?
Also what strap should I get for it?

>>15550175
>Also what strap should I get for it?
orange nato, obviously

>>15550188
Nah I have a Vostok with a orange strap coming in soon

Thinking of getting a square Geckota shitter. Should I get the 42mm chrono or 39mm regular one? I kind of like the looks of the chrono, but I got skeleton wrists so it would probably look oversized.

>>15548644
Looks cool, but acrylic at $200 is the deal breaker for me.

>>15549936
Won't it get scratched to shit though, with that dome?

>>15548483
Nobody said lume has to be white with a greenish tint.

>>15550228
acrylic scratches easy but also can be easily polished clean with polywatch, autosol, or toothpaste

i actually prefer acrylic to mineral glass, after sapphire. If you scratch your mineral glass you'd need a dremel and some diamond paste, its more hassle. Acrylic is also the most impact resistant out of the 3.

Went to the post office this morning to get my second Vostok package - one Zissou, two rubber straps and a solid bracelet for the Scuba Dude. Just put the rubber strap on the Zissou and the bracelet on the cagy and removed a link to fit.
I took a pic in a Russian book I have here about drawing animals, couldn't find an actual amphibian in it, but fishes are close enough for the sea theme.

>>15550195
it has short lugs so it would probably fit, physically.
BUT with square watches they wear a lot bigger than they really are. A 42 mm will look more like a 45 or 46 due to the diagonal stretch.

>>15550217
a speedmaster is like $3000? and it has acrylic too, lmao. its not an issue

>>15549774
>gold

So same as always.

>>15550341
That watch is pretty based, it has minimal poo in the movement and seems to be all original.

>>15550253
The ones that actually got into space were hesalite (acrylic crystal) I think. Mainly because sapphire crystals shatters like glass and you don't want that shit in space.

>>15550319
This is also why you don't see mass produced enamelled dial watches. They're a bitch to make.

>>15550344
are you blind? the rotor weight is platinum. the 3/4 plate is german silver. the balance cock I believe is white gold. there is probably more but I cba

>>15550332
Pretty sure the only precious metal in that pic is maybe the rotor weight and the gold chatons.
i.e. almost nothing.

>>15550352

That's maillechort, not precious metal.

Help me out here, /wt/.
I'm looking at the Orient Kamasu, specifically the green one. Beautiful watch, everything I want in one. However, I have baby wrists and might be forced to get either a SKX or one of the islander watches.
Here's how the Nighthawk, which has around the same dimensions as a kamasu, sits on my wrist. What do I go for?

GOAT watch for a poorfag like me

>>15550120
But the name isn't a reference to Porsche

>>15550384
But it is a watch that tells everyone you are poor. So why?

>>15549774
Stunning but I'd rather buy a house.

Holy shit you're stupid

>>15549222
Knowing my mom, if she were to die and I let her choose a watch for me she would choose some Swatch. Fuckin moms man.

Hirsch Duke or Crocograin for the Sarb033? I like the crocograin for its shine.

this is a redial right?

>>15550378
its a bit big but it is acceptable. (how the nighthawk sits)

if you dont like the kamasu you can sell it after and take a minor hit.

>>15550397
>richest guy i know wears one

I guess?

We're back to wallet suggestions boys. Anything that's black, has a coin pouch, is Euro sized, and has RFID protection? Would be nice if it had a transparent ID pocket too.

obv by logic, no

Only one is fully original, the strap snapped on the other so I had to butcher it and managed to fit a spare F-91W strap to it.
