/fa/ - Fashion

First for red October!

Watches are fucking gay.

>>15622591
And that is a problem why?

why nobody told me Casios like this exists!

>metal casing
>integrated metal bracelet (this pic has a modded strap)
>patterned granite dial
its a casio overseas/real casioak!

since we’ve been talking about chink divers last thread.
I’m really tempted to fall for that meme!
Pls make me stop!

>>15622595
casio BEM-SL100D
4 colourways

>>15622596
I think the only flaw with that watch is you may not be man enough to pull it off

>>15622599
>planted a tree
Check (many even, though less than I cut down)
>built a house
Check (though it’s not mine, was just working in construction)
>fathered a son
Check
>have big wrists
Fuck. 17.2 cm (6.75”?)
Why can’t I have everything?

Thanks for all the opinions anons, it was a tough final decision between this and the yema flygraf but in the end my heart wanted the vintage diver aesthetic.

Seems like a normal rate.

In any case, we would win.

>>15622630
Well we have working infrastructure and free health care while you bleet about low taxes and muh freedom.

>>15622630
In many ways it is, but our tax rates have nothing to do with it (besides corporate taxes, they have way too many loopholes and corporations manage to still outplay EU states against each other).

>>15622605
fellow wristlet here, how do you cope with this feel?

>>15622605
at least you have a son and your wristsize is bigger than mine.

>>15622644
>>15622645
>insert self deprecating sarcasm in here
But seriously, besides the fact that I probably can’t wear quite few watches (though apparently the tuna should be ok due to its small (for the size) lug2lug, so tempted to piss away 150€ + maybe 20-50 in fees and taxes) it’s a literal non-issue!
Apart from /fit/ and /wt/, no one cares for your wrist size IRL.

Anyone got any tips to get this broken spring bar out of this bracelet?

>>15622679
Drill it out?

>>15622679
blutack?

superglue to a toothpick?

what can i wear with a 7.1 wrist?

what's the wrist size of /fa/ggots

>>15622723
>what's the wrist size of /fa/ggots
we had a poll, a couple months ago.

I wish i were /fa/ enough to pull this off.

>>15622723
Somewhere in the 6.7'ish inch range. Can wear most anything 40mm and below. Can wear 42mm if it's done right and is a style that looks good on the bigger side like aviators and divers. Lug-to-lug matters as much as anything. Anything over 42mm looks ridiculous regardless of style for a wristlet.

>>15622679
Small but strong tweezers? Looks like you have some room on the lip to get a grip, though if it's stuck good that's easier said than done. Some sort of puddy that can dry and firm? Worst case you could try a drill, but that may fuck the whole thing up pretty good.

It's gonna be a bad day for omega when it finally comes out that the moon landings are bullshit.

How long will it take for you to accept that you were lied to?
60 years? 75 years? 100 years? Seriously how long without a 'return' trip will it take? There must be a limit.

>>15623128
>>>/x/

>>15623133
so what does that mean? If there is no 'return' trip to the moon in your lifetime you're gonna go to the grave believing that men went to the moon in the 1960's?
Maybe you're a fucking idiot.

Let me guess, you're a proponent of the flat earth and/or electric universe. RETARD ALERT.

>>15623154
Flat earth? really? That's your defense for nobody going to the moon in 40 years?

>>15623128
>>15623144
you're funny

>>15623160
What would he have hoped to accomplish on the moon in those 40 years? We learned what we set out to learn in the initial expeditions. Unless you have a clear purpose you don't spend billions going to the moon "just because."

>>15623166
>We learned what we set out to learn in the initial expeditions
Ah so that's why we're still sending probes to the moon

>>15623128
I watched Diamonds Are Forever too. Good documentary.

>>15623169
>Multiple nations who would love to refute the moon landings and embarrass the US have sent numerous probes to the moon

>>15623170
I prefer the official nasa video "apollo 16 : nothing so hidden

>>15623169
i don't want to get involved because there's no point
but you were talking about people going to the moon

probes are orders of magnitude lower in cost you must realize the benefits of using them vs manned missions right even if you have other delusions going on

>>15623128
fucking kek. the absolute state of American "education".

>>15623179
But we learned everything there is to know about the moon in the 1960's why send probes?

Rate my shit poorfag taste.

>>15623128
Everyone shits on the Noon landing conspiracy. The thing is NASA did hire Stanley Kubrick to fake the Moon landing, but he was such a perfectionist that he insisted on shooting it on location.

>>15623128

>>15623188
Even in the late 60's and early 70's about 1/3 of the US population were skeptical of the program that's why the movie capricorn one exists. The script was written in 1972.

>>15623128
I actually like the classic omega speedmaster professional, simply can't go wrong with a classic stainless steel black dial chrono. But I don't care at all about the relation with the moon landing, actually its quite off-putting all of those limited editions with a fucking snoopy on it.

>>15623128
I'm curious. What watch do conspiracy nutjobs wears?

>>15623204
Landings aside it's still a mediocre watch for having no water resistance and a plastic crystal.
That's odd in itself since water resistance was one of the requirements for a moon watch.

>>15623184
i didn't make that argument or support it
obviously technology has improved and the cost of doing remote analysis and beaming the data back has also improved
simply the cost of life support for a round trip, in terms of fuel and weight eclipses the one way probe cost that can continue to collect data for decades


we currently don't have an initiative to win a space race as part of an ideology to stave off communism, and the cost of creating an off world base is still out of reach, which is the next step in space exploration

but as far as learning and data collection, probes make sense

>>15623217
we just don't need people running the show when a rasberry pi has more compute power than even existed during the manned moon missions

>>15623217
Actually there is a new space race. In the last year or so every government that matters has stated that they plan to mine the moon ASAP.

Good luck with that.

>>15623230
> they plan to mine the moon ASAP
for what??! it is completely not cost effective by a massive margin.

>>15623235
Apparently various governments have access to data hat suggests mining the moon isn't just viable it's imperative.

>>15623230
good luck to you

/wt/: Lunar Missions General

>>15623244
Oh we're gonna need luck. Israelis couldn't even land a probe on the moon in 2019. it crashed and blew into a million bits.

That's weird. Jews are supposed to be so smart and the moon is such old news. It should be a trivial matter to land a probe on the moon in 2019. We had a flawless record back during the apollo program.

>>15623321
No one said flightmaster but you

>>15623291
The US didn't shoot for the moon (literally, or figuratively) the very first thing in their space program, which is what Israel did and failed at.

In fact the only "firsts" the US scored in the space race were related to putting men on the moon, and reusable launch/return vehicles. The USSR beat them to orbit (unmanned, animal return, crewed, and long-term station), Moon (unmanned), Mars, Venus, and Mercury. It's no surprise that Americans have a massive hard-on for the Apollo program, a pointed ignorance of the space race besides that, and a haughty disdain for the International Space Station.

how do i learn to use ebay to find vintage watches for cheap? cause dont sellers sometime not properly categorize their watches?

Priced at 459 british sterling. Worth it?

>>15623440
Yeah, sometimes but it's become increasingly rarer over time as people get more clued up about how to use eBay.
The only real way I've found is to keep search terms as vague as possible ("watch" is a good start, filter out items sold as new and anything with a brand attached to the description) and to be persistent in checking for new listings regularly, be patient and be prepared to wade through endless shit, you'll likely give up after a while since you're the internet equivalent of someone moving to California in 1860 in the hunt for gold.

>>15623454
thanks for that. how do i know whether something is legit or not? and whether the vintage watch is worth the buy? just whatever peaks my interest?

I am looking for a more elegant watch to counter my Speedy. Give me ideas with these specs:
- 38 mm tops
- Budget around 1k used
- Date is a must
- Preferably vintage or semi-vintage, though why not modern as well

I wouldn't order pic-rel to fool anyone it's a rolex, but to have a nice pepsi diver for a price that's not gonna break my teeth, but something in the back of my head prevents me.

>>15623187
Edifice is a fine series, save for the fucking logo.

>>15623489
Pagani made me realize Rolex watches look like shit and are just a meme

>>15623489
I've got their Daytona homage. It's far better than it has any right to be for sixty bucks. There are imperfections which can be found by looking (my 24h hour hand is not aligned properly, and there's a dangling burr on one of the bracelet links), as in most chinkshit, but once you stop caring they disappear.

The packaging is rather good. If the rest of their lineup is of similar or better quality, it's probably the best Aliexpress has to offer at that price. But I want to get a green Loreo subclone some day, for what's essentially a disposable steel watch in the same price bracket (or slightly lower).

>>15623458
The usual advice applies as when buying anything on eBay, do plenty of research and check sold prices for similar watches. If you do manage to find a poorly described listing then it's pretty much a gamble, it'll probably be cheap but it's not going to have a whole lot of info or photos for checking legitimacy.
Source, I bought my poorly listed Seiko 6139 for £51 5 years ago, it was a massive gamble, could've been a total lemon but luckily it worked and had a well preserved dial (had to buy NOS crystal and retaining bezel though), it was listed as a "Seiko diver watch" with no additional info and one poor photo. But even nowadays a listing like that would attract decent attention since the brand is listed.

>>15623489
If you just want a Rolex design and want one for a laugh or to scratch that itch, I can guarantee you are gonna be fucking amazed by what you get with just 80 bucks.

I'd recommend the Yachtmaster (I own the blue/black dial color scheme), and the Batman and Pepsi also look legit. I wasn't fond of the Daytona personally, looked kinda soulless.

>>15622595
Because this forum is full of clueless brandwhores that fear quartz like the swiss jew fears memories of the 70s.

This one also has a metal band version and sapphire for about 110€. I like the screws.

Ironically the best movies usually have cheapish watches.Back to the future, Commando,Predator,Interstellar, Alien,Apocalipse now,Men in black...
There is a ton of nice and not really luxury watches in most of good movies, and to be honest, that kind of heritage is nicer than the mountain jew heritage that its memed with no end and you can't really see, ok, this brand is old, really old, they have been making watches for a long time, and that's all.

>>15623838

Literally none but a few of them are old though. Maybe the name and logo sure but everything else is completely different. Fucking Omega is really only as old as Swatch is and so on.

What's /wt/ opinion on smart watches? I want a better alternative to my terrorist watch, something more elegant and with more features, and the cheapest I found that fits the bill is the radio-controlled line from Casio, but while in the grand scheme of things they're pretty cheap, they're also in the same ballpark of some mid-tier smart watches.

Nice find. I still recently got a 5246 King Seiko for 50€. It was poorly described, no mention of "King", poor pictures, not one of the more regognizable models. Also had some problems, but based on the description sounded like it could be an easy fix, and luckily it was. Working very well now.

>>15624612
maintaining your watch is so soi

>>15624612
That's not how you use a cheap Chinese one, like the one pictured. You need to lift the watch slowly away from the device to gradually lower the field, because the device doesn't do that by itself like the expensive ones.

>>15624669

Double baton indices at the 3, 6, and 9 positions. Looks extremely cheap and lazy. Not a fan of the TWO crowns on the dial either, the one in between "Swiss Made" is tacky. And then there's the ROLEXROLEXROLEX engraving on the chapter ring which will never stop being stupid.

>>15624983
There's a 34 without double batons but then you lose most of the cool dial colors and get a small girl watch movement (old OP34 used to get a full size movement)

do people really use this to wind their watches?

the fuck? whats wrong with using fingers

>>15625017
the only reason I can think of is if someone is handicapped in some way.

>>15624977
Rolex has crafted an image of itself that celebrates shallowness and brand recognition.
Now look at that watch and ask yourself: if the biggest selling point of a Rolex is getting your average non-watch enthusiast to notice your expensive Rolex watch, then why would anyone want one that is completely unrecognizable as a Rolex?
So the only people who would want such a plain and unremarkable Rolex are the type that religiously follow current trends without thinking, which is the epitome of being a soiboy faggot

you can't really get a versatile automatic watch without a clear design flaw for much cheaper, some $500 micros and Seikos will get you 70-80% of the way there but not close enough

It's a frivolous accessory designed for people who can't help but buy shit for their hobby/passion, regardless of how useless it is. The only legitimate reason is potentially what >>15625019 said and it's for people with some sort of debilitating hand/finger issue.

>>15625052
>>15625062
You put that watch next to a seiko or a citizen and ask a non-watch person to identify it from a distance and I guarentee they couldn't.
Now with most other Rolex models like a sub or GMT or Daytona that wouldn't happen. There's nothing remarkable about that watch except for the brightly colored dial which makes it look cheap and unlike what average people think of when they think of a Rolex

>>15623494
>>15623489
This. I wish Pagani would make the old Designs.

>>15625119
speaking of near useless accessories, should I buy this "butler" watch holder?

qt lineage.
I want one but I would always feel that I should have added a couple hundred and went for an oceANUS
Then again I find more basic quartz movements to be more soulful and fun to wear than radio controlled ones. I also like having a dive bezel, hopefully we get an oceanus diver

>>15625133
and i guess this is for the OMEGA people....

>>15625133
If you're a grandmother, yeah, sure.

>>15625017
It's for old people, slightly less old people with gout up to their fingers, and physical labourers without the digital finesse to operate a winding crown easily. There's people who can't use e.g. a keyboard, or a computer mouse, or a touchscreen cellphone, because of their background in e.g. mining or other heavy industry.

And keyboard jockeys with strain injuries and such, I guess, where the injury would be made worse by winding the watch without a tool.

>>15625136
>more soulful
The Lineage's hands literally move on their own. It's alive! You can't get more soulful than that!

But more seriously, I've never liked divers, so I'm good with that one.

>>15625034
>>he didn't write his own script to measure the accuracy of this watches and save them in a file
Kek, that’s actually on my list, but I don’t really feel like going into interfacing with a camera and I’m unproductive enough already. But some day...
How good are github projects that don’t have fuckall to do with your normal field of work?

VC, JC, Blancpain are from the 1700s. Seiko is from the 1800s. You don't have to be disingenuous to prove some point about how old good new bad or vice versa.

What's the most autistic thing you've done with your watch?
With pic related casio I:
>come up with PO2/HCO3 scale for acid base disorders
>memorize the compensation for a few cardinal values
>set the slide rule to give the normal value as default answer so I can use it as a slide scale
>able to give approximate compensation values and the appropriate treatment with a quick glance at my watch and the memorized values
>people on rounds think I'm some kind of expert on acid-base disorders
>attending is impressed
>all I actually did was memorize some numbers and words
based

>>15625180
you need to get a life, bro
all I care about is if the watch can tell time and if it can tell time in the dark and maybe the date. if you are learning to do esoteric stuff with your watch, and it's not for work, you are just autistic.

Whats this type of watch with a bezel and a domed ”bubble” glass that doesn't sit flush with the bezel called? I much prefer this type over a single convex surface.

>>15625180
There was a period where I wore pic related and 2 digitals on the same wrist to track dosing intervals for 3 different patients. people were impressed that I could "predict" when pts would reach steady-state.
Mind you I'm not a spastic, I wore a light woven shirt so I could see the watches by pinching the sleeve of my shirt down but it only looked like I was wearing 1 watch.
>>15625190
thats all for work though. If you take a phone out or tab out of a chart you get publicly castrated on rounds.
Only me and 2 others survived every pimping session from our group and they actually knew their shit. I just came up with ways to "know" things that happened to involve a watch.

>>15625200
so then if you're learning how to do this for work how is it autistic?
did you just want to humblebrag like the avatarfag you are?

My Rotary came

>>15625205
read my post over retard
>posting watches in a watch thread is avatarfagging

>>15625180
i sleep with my watch and i oil its leather strap with my facial oil.

>>15625133
I mean, using a stand to organize and display multiple watches makes sense. if it's just one, may as well just use the nightstand.
but making the stand into an allegedly "clever" sculpture is like decorating your battlestation with anime figures or one of those mousepads with boobs on it. do you really want to be that guy?
otoh, if you have that stuff already then go for it, I guess.

>>15625207
How much?
Link?
What movement?
What's your BMI?

>>15625208
yeah, it is, when you post the same photos of the same watches every time with every post

>>15625217
post your watch

>>15625213
>is like decorating your battlestation with anime figures

i will unironically buy a big boobed anime figma if it could hold my (seiko) watches

>>15625219
XD

>>15625216
It's a quartz shitter that I got off ebay for 60 dollars used I just really liked the look of it since it looks like a navi, cool strap too

idk im a stick

>>15625207
It would be cool if they had left the date out.

>>15625224
Even the actual Navitimers have that date at that position. I hate it.

>>15625207
Needs more tiny lines and numbers.

>>15625219
>these are the people I hang out with
it's my own fault, I guess.

>>15625224
>>15625227
they should have done it like this, at least.

>>15625207
That's actually not half bad looking.

>>15625180
>>15625200
All the MDs I know are mega sperg already. None of this is particularly odd, just professionals doing professional things. I just use my timing bezel to time cooking and to decide when at the earliest I can cut and scan my film, or when my fucking fiber prints have had their 20 minutes of running water.

>>15625227
It's actually worse on the Rotary. Breitling positions the date between 2 baton indexes and gave it a subtly stepped window rather than a framed one, so, while obtrusive, it isn't directly invading the space of any other individual dial element. It's a respectable execution.
On the Rotary it's literally eating into a number and makes the 4~5 space look like one big jumbled white smear. Legit awful. They should have just left it out.

>>15625221
what's the model number
also you're very clearly overweight

>>15625195
It’s simply a diver (or any watch, really) from, I dunno, at least 30 years ago when domed plastic (=hardlex) was the standard “glass” used.
Seems like it’s making a comeback with some micro brands and of course Vostok never upgraded to the new ways.

>>15625230
there really are two types of watchfag. those who buy this or gshock or etc: "how much shit can they cram on the dial?" and then everyone else.

>>15625161
I would share it but sadly this is a fashion board and not a technology board, so it would be off topic.
I also have a method to get accuracy using a microphone that's easier to use than the audacity method

>>15625180
I just never take it off.
I only have one and it's waterproof so it just stays on.

>>15625262
doesnt it get...itchy underneath?

>>15625246
You're right otherwise but hardlex is Seiko's proprietary mineral crystal, not acrylic.

>>15625230
I'd agree but I honestly use the slide rule and conversions on my similar watch just about every day of the week. Is great for volumetric conversions, distance conversions, tachymeter and multiplication/division on the fly. All of which I have to do frequently and many times in the field in my line of work.

>>15625207
I like it but it seems a tad too big

>>15625207
I probably would have gone with something like Seiko's or Citizen's quartz flight chronos, but it looks very good for a $60 shitter and definitely scratches the Navitimer aesthetic itch better. Is that 45mm?

Fielding suggestions for quality 21mm field/aviator leather straps. I've checked how it looks with 20mm and 22mm straps, my autism won't be content with either. My usual go-to for leather doesn't offer 21mm. No "genuine leather" shitters please. Thank you kindly.

>>15622595
I bought the new efr108 and enjoy it so far. It has an integrated (but removable) bracelet like the beside, so I butchered a rubber strap to make a custom band. The efr107 is chunkier but it's easier to replace the strap.
When the price drops, this line can compete with the aquaterra Casio in the poorfag guide. You lose the screw-down crown and case though. Personally, I prefer the new case thinness and all the brushed surfaces.
As with most Casio's, the second hand hits the markers.
>>15623619

>>15622596
meme? nothing meme about astrology watches. truly the watches of chads

Since we're on navitimers, what are the cheaper alternatives that aren't the flightmaster or the nighthawk?

>>15622628
20% is way too high. we all know most of that money goes to the foreign invaders and incel moms

>>15622982
red dit is never based

>>15625314
Besides that Rotary that anon just got, there's really not too much out there in the cheap/budget bracket.

>>15625336

>>15625336
Not him but wow have never seen that Orient. Pretty awesome and would be great for someone looking for a navi aesthetic who doesn't care about the chrono. What's the diameter on that thing?

>>15625349
>>15625314

>>15625351
its 43mm, but short lugs make it fit most
pretty basic orient movement, titanium body
you dont want it too small anyway, for the sliderule to be functional
theres a white colourway too
it has been out of production for along while but you can probably find if you dig.

>>15625341
yeah bitch. some one asks me the time. i say i am not i plebs, i dont keep track of time. i keep track of the planets instead.

>>15625367
Not him, but that's astronomy, not astrology.

>>15625362
Neat. Jumped on a Seiko quartz chrono/slide rule just recently but will keep that thing in mind. 43mm is pushing it on size for my wrist(let).

Good for you, sometimes wish I could be content with a one-and-done budget friendly watch. Hamilton makes a solid and aesthetic barebones field watch.

>>15625336
This is killer, thanks.

Opinions on https://www.serica-watches.com ?

>>15625475
i think they look good and i dig that quirky expansion band
price is fair
I do wish they were 34 instead of 37.7

>>15625475
I've never heard of them, but the specs seem decent enough for the price.

i cant find anything online about this watch but its an official Railway watch from japan. does anyone have any info on this maybe?

Either there’s something wrong with the rotor/power reserve or I’m just completely inactive, but my San Martin Nautilus really doesn’t hold its juice long.
I wore it all day yesterday and this morning I found it had stopped at around 3am. I set it before going to work but then it stopped again around 1pm.
It has stopped during the night before.
Now I’ve fully wound it so we’ll see how it goes. I sit in front of a computer at work, but I do walk around and go to lunch etc.

>>15625519
cant find that exact model but its a citizen "crystron" logo

>>15625569
It is probably just defective. It happens

>>15625569
whats the movement you opted for?

>>15625580
PT5000

>>15625573
thanks that bit of info helps. ill continue searching with this

>>15625274
I soap my wrists when I wash my hands and I'll slide the strap on the soap before rinsing. and it's a nato, so it dries and breathes reasonably well. so no, if it was itchy I wouldn't leave it on. once in a great while I'll scrub the strap interior with a stiff brush, but it mostly stays clean.

>>15625409
wow, you're dumb.

>>15625586
could be lack of enough physical movement or lubrication drying up (maybe movement sitting in a warehouse for too long). Can you observe the rotor? try flicking your wrists more..if that doesnt improve in that case you should email san martin or at least have it looked at by a watchmaker

dont rely on handwinding it. It is based on the ETA 2824 and those really, really dislike being handwound and they can even break if you do it too much

>>15625617
I can’t see the rotor without taking off the back.
I might just have been less active than usual lately, so I’ll make sure to move my arm a bit more lol.

And yeah I’ve heard that about the ETA plus I don’t really feel like having to set it every morning.

Bought pic related ama

>>15625640
Do you actually like the bracelet or are you just stuck begrudgingly accepting it as part of the deal?

>>15625642
I actually like it! What is wrong with it?

>>15625293
It's 42mm. It's nice for a beater but my only gripes are the placement of the date window and the awkward left hand knob to use the slide rule. Other than that, not 2 bad.

>>15625643
The links are fine, the weird metal bits along the edges make it look weird, like a motorcycle chain or something.

>>15625651
They aren't actually visible when you wear the watch so that doesn't bother me at all

>>15625651
Those are rivets to make it look more tough amd tool-like, but they are fake rivets. It's really gay

>>15625645
Why did they even bother knurling the bezel if you use a crown instead?

>>15625726
Same way the Sinn 903 has a notched bezel and uses a crown to rotate, it's all aesthetic.

>>15625250
I'm curious! I know of the microphone method (and its weaknesses), so my idea was to take a pic of the watch with a timestamp (exif should be good enough, sync the PC with network time beforehand) and then read in the pic to get the watchs time (image recognition would be daft, but I can't even get python to access my cam (yet), so it's gonna be hand work) and then repeat it the next day to get the accuracy…
Well, you could try to stage a coup and move back to /g/…

>I would share it but sadly this is a fashion board and not a technology board, so it would be off topic
There's no such thing as off topic on /fa/

Which one /wt/?

>>15625475
650? For this piece of shit? I thought the Anons who replied were gonna be right, but they're fucking retarded. Buy a chink shitter with a miyota for like 80. You can probably find this exact design too. Looks ugly anyhow, like a frankenstein version of an omega, iwc and hamilton all at once.

>>15625760
who hurt you?
they are styled after ww2 field watches, l2history
and $650 is fully expected for a microbrand +ETA combo

its just cleaner and the colour matched datewheel is a plus
