picrel is the greatest and best watch
all else is cope

>>17399615
It's a good watch, there are other good watches as well.

gayest watch, second to the explorer

indefinitely

>>17399623
As long as you want.
It's rated to 30 meters.
The link is of an A158, which is basically an F-91W with a metal bracelet.
Yes, it will go to 100 feet depth with no problems.
For longer than your body can handle it.

I just happen to like that it's more accurate than a Rolex Explorer for the cost of a burger.

>>17399629
The average man who follows THE BEST CHART and wears an explorer.

>>17399615
>>17399632
>>17399637
I know there are people who are obsessed with the f91w, but let's get real here:
The greatest 1 and done watch in the world is a Casio G Shock 5600.
You can drop it off a roof, it is waterproof to 200 meters, and is just large enough to feel like you are wearing a watch not a toy.

>>17399662
I personally prefer the 5610 because it has solar and multiband, but for $50 the 5600 can't be beat.

>>17398773
Duro is pretty based, it's probably one of the watches I wear the most of any other.

>>17399665
Multiband 6 will never stop being a trip. The fact that one radio station in Colorado can provide accurate time to the entire country is one of the coolest things you can have on your wrist.
>>17399669
Is that your Duro? That looks super nice... what is the bracelet?

poorfag general

>>17399686
you wear a used explorer from 2005

>>17399686
To be fair, most /fa/ watch threads are more or less 'lies, stock photos, and counterfeits' general

>>17399683
>Is that your Duro?
No unfrotunately. I have a blue marlin one myself but on a NATO strap, apparently people put SKX bands on their Duros since they pretty much fit near perfectly.

>>17399692
Good to know, thanks. I'm picking up a blue marlin here pretty soon, I don't know if I've seen it on a nice bracelet before. That looks high class.

>>17399697
>I'm picking up a blue marlin here pretty soon
Based, I think you'll like it. It's easily one of my favorites.

I really like the SKX band but I haven't got around to it yet, so I have it on a blue NATO strap. This picture is kind of shit but it looks really nice IRL, I go swimming with it a lot and it the dial looks really nice in direct light.

>>17399662
I prefer the 5600 but the F91W is cheaper, smaller, durable enough, and water resistant enough. The display is even clearer on the F91W. The disadvantages are the fragile bands and the lack of features like a countdown timer or an annual calendar.

>>17399683

WWVB covers Mexico and most of Canada as well. I do wish we had more like Japan for reliability.

yeah, that's what I thought. How are the other companies still around if people know how shit they are?

Why the fuck can't I go to the brand's website and buy a fucking watch? Not rolex, not omega, not breitling, not seiko. not casio, not fucking anything

>>17399831
From what I hear, you can't even go to a Rolex store any buy a Rolex. Not that I have the cash, but if I did you have to take a jeweler out for a dinner date and co sign for their car loan before they'll sell you one.

>>17399831
I saw an interview where one said it was to "encourage real life interaction and visiting boutiques for the experience" because of COVID taking that way but I'm pretty sure it's just to force scarcity.

>>17399836
What the actual fuck? I have the money for a Rolex. You're telling me I can't go to a motherfucking store and buy one?

>>17399840
I couldn't give less of a shit about their "interactions", I'd literally buy this shit from amazon if they didn't commingle real inventory with fake shit.

How fucking stupid are these people? They are literally losing money

after lurking the previous thread i gave it a try but i can't find any reps of this or the new mars version
i understand that the module is quite unique but don't care about the functions as long as it tells time
help an anon out?

>>17399836
Dealers in my country have them, I've been into two or three stores myself and they have stock.

>>17399843
My man, just buy the real one, it's 6k. Otherwise just have a look on Chazingtime, they make some really good fakes.

>>17399789
how could you see the time with your hands on the steering wheel? the wrist is pointing outwards, there's no way to see the watch unless it's worn on the inside of the wrist. is that how this watch is supposed to be worn? that's even gayer

Is Jtime good?

>>17399848
Steering wheels used to look like this

>>17399851
looks just like now?

>>17399852
And people weren't faggots aftaid of breaking their arms so they held the wheel at 10 and 2 and not on the bottom

>>17399637
Now i'm conflicted.
On one hand you posted a dumb polcel larpy image, which i hope isn't yours.
On the other hand you have an appreciation for digital watches and i hope an understanding of what makes them as important as mechanical stuff which is good

An enigmatic F-91w gentleman you are.

I wonder what the latency is if you're on the east coast.

>>17399897
a new guy comes in says "hey, I'll buy a Rolex". They sell it. He doesn't even wear it but sells it to used for double the price.
This works only because there is waiting period to begin with, if everyone could have their watch the same day there wouldn't be a flipper market anyway

fucking watch makers need to fuckinf stop it with the fucking 24h subdial. It's USLELESS

>>17399897
Demand exceeds supply, Rolex corporate leaves it up to dealers regarding allocation, flippers exacerbate the issue

>>17399938
BUT HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT'S 6 IN THE MORNING OR 6 IN THE EVENING. I JUST CAN'T

>>17399943
>Rolex corporate leaves it up to dealers regarding allocation

The fuck does this even mean? They choose wheyherbyou're deserving of buying their watch?

>>17399945
underground you wouldn't be able to tell after a few days. makes sense for a specialized tool but not for jewelry

>>17399938
If it has independent adjustment ie GMT/dual time it's very useful

>>17399615

>>17399615
Yours is iconic, but the W-86 is actually better. Same functions, very similar form, but the illuminator actually works.

Quartz junghans max bill

Womens watchs are mostly absolute crap. All 90% of them want is a rose gold datejust homage woth Michael Korrs on the face and a billion fake diamonds. Its like no brand gives a shit realising it would be Pearls before swine

I got my gf some fashion watch. I made sure it at least had sapphirefor the crystal. I was going to get her a max bill but she didnt want me to spend that much on a watch.

Yep. They literally do a light background check on you before you are allowed to buy it. They check your social media accounts, their explanation is to make sure you aren't connected to watch-resellers. I'm not kidding.
If you are passed you are placed on a wait list. While on that wait list, you will be upselled on incredibly expensive gold/platinum watches that you can have 'today' for only $50 more.
I'm not kidding. It's why everyone buys from the grey market.

>>17400028
Lmao what the actual fuck that's stupid and they're obviously failing hard at killing the grey market, I wanted to buy from them directly precisely because I don't trust the fucking gray market

I want to get the steel square and Casioak.

>>17400037
Yeah, it's retarded. You end up having dudes doing everything short of fellating the ad right then and there to get pushed up the queue for a ugly ass submariner. The only subreddit I've ever found funny is watchescirclejerk simply because they shit on Rolex ad practices so much.

The worse part about the VC 1921 isn't the crooked dial, it's the nazi iron cross at the 12 o'clock position.

If you wear that at work, you're getting a call from HR the moment someone sees it.

>>17400103
I want a daytona for the chronograph, is that hard to get too?

>>17400172
Daytona and Submariner are the most popular models, they're hard to get for customers with purchase history even

>>17400177
Is this how it is in stores all over the world

>>17400172
not really it’s just the most sought after rolex model period because it’s been turned into a status symbol of the nouveau riche

>>17400177
Submariners are made in huge numbers so the waiting period for one, even with no prior purchase history, is less than a year. If you have to wait at all, since we're already starting to see ADs with stock in their cases again.

>>17400178
I guess they have stock in the UAE, can't imagine the customers there would be happy with getting on a wait list

Are people in here that have only 1 watch? (Casio fags aside)

I love my Hamilton Khaki Mechanical. I'm thinking of getting another Hamilton in the future, maybe the khaki pilot day date or pioneer.

>>17400178
It was a year ago, now for everything but a daytona you might have to wait a month or two at most.
Some anon heres new idea of trolling is telling people that you have to wait 2 years to buy any rolex model.

>>17400192
Not any model, but the ads will make you buy 20 grand in random shit you don't even like to be put on the list if you want a popular model. Rolex dudes are bizarre about the waiting stuff.

>>17400197
Fuck that, i'm not buying shitty watches I dont want just to get the chronograph one that's actually useful for me. The dealer in my city also carries other brands, I will literally buy a competitor's watch in front of them if they BS me with that shit

I WANT A SINN 104!!!!!!!!!!

>>17400184
what about asia, south america

>>17400206
He is still wrong, again that was maybe the case for 2 or three models a year ago but it isn't anymore, and its not all watches, its the submariner and daytona. You can get a datejust or oyster professional right off the street, might have to wait a week if they need to order the model you want

>>17400234
>its the GMT-Master II and Daytona
FTFY

>>17400192
that's what my small town ad is telling me as a first time customer, 2 years. they want to weed out potential flippers

>>17400234
interesting, ad tells me they basically get a lootbox of random stuff from rolex with now influence over the contents whatsoever. makes no sense from a business pov, so the other option is that they are simply bullshitting potential customers

>>17400234
But its the daytona I want

>>17400259
sucks to be you

I bought a grand onionsko, what now effay? Will I stop hating myself? Will that weird gap between my pectoralis majors narrow to a point where I can flex at myself in the mirror and not feel like a B stock human? Will I be able to listen to recordings of my own voice without cringing? My future feels brighter already.

>>17400264

>>17400264
onions

>>17399907
In my experience it's accurate to within roughly 50-150 milliseconds, possibly better, plus it syncs once a day so it will always display the correct time.

>>17400272
SBGX263. I'm a wristlet and wanted a low key "do everything" watch that will be cheap enough to be inoffensive in most places that aren't third world countries, without being such a shitter that it looks like I'm trying to get people's attention with what a shit watch I have to seem "humble" (that kind of false humility rubs me the wrong way). I mainly intend to keep it on a bracelet but seeing this pic on omegaforums sealed the deal. I don't even like alligator but I'm definitely getting a strap like this.

>>17400264

Obviously random people will not run up to you and go WHOA BRO NICE ROOOOLEEEXXXX when you're walking around outside but when you're in a restaurant or in a conference room with someone you know well enough that they feel comfortable remarking on your clothes/accessories, comments will occur and that's when you know you fucked up

>>17400357
you had something better than the higher-ups?

>>17400367
Debatable, the "higher ups" have slightly less rabble-recognizable watches. The rabble have rolexes and omeeeguhs. To be fair, I'm the rabble, but I don't appreciate being reminded of it.

>>17400387
I really don't know why rolex is somehow inferior to "non-rabble" brands. Their movements are just as excellent as any other watch maker's and the quality of the watches is pretty much perfect.

>>17400462
that’s why you’re rabble :)

>>17400462
Realistically, the difference between a rolex and an invicta is approximately nil. These are just stupid bullshit tribes we've invented in a post-scarcity world where enough isn't enough anymore and we kill ourselves over the dream of dying with 10x more goodboy points than the neighbor who likes wrong things.

>>17399982
My wife straight up wanted a quartz Michael kors in rose gold and wears it over her tag heuer aqua racer. They don’t give a shit about anything but how it looks with the outfit.
Her “grail” if there were such a thing for someone who doesn’t care. Is a tag heuer carrera with the black dial and gold markers on stainless steel. Basically anything close to pic related.

>>17400264
>>17400293
Very nice brother. I hope you enjoy it when it comes in. Personally I’m inching closer and closer to getting a SBGX341. 3 year battery life and 10+/- a year is just so enticing. Plus I am just head over heels about the dial and case shape. Yen is still crap so the chrono prices are great

>>17400259
in Germany there's a guy selling a 2022 Daytona for 22k euro, is that feasible for you? I think he ships in EU only

I have two G-Shocks and love them.
The second generation combi-bracelet is great.
Even though the G-Shocks are objectively better, I still end up going with the F-91W most days.
(set all of my clocks against my G-Shock because multi band 6)
Also, I agree that the 5610 is the nicest one to look at.
I really like the nod to the original G-Shock color palette.
It's obsessive functionality and indifference to style has a charm to it.
(I think today will be a G-Shock day)

>>17399901
I'm saving up for a good mechanical.
I know I could pick up something very decent for a couple hundred bucks.
The Hamilton Murph 38 is very near what I like.
I prefer smaller "classic" sizes to the newer 40mm trends.
Ideally, I would get a 34mm with an 18mm band width, no day, no date, three hander.
The markets mostly have odd sizes and date complications.
Close to what I like, though not really what I want.
Until I find exactly what I want I'm holding off.
I'll just save money and then probably pick up an oyster perpetual.
I'm not really interested in anything too flashy or cool.
I only want a durable and accurate watch that will last.
Also, yes, those LARPy pics were a direct reference to Romanian anon.
And, yes, those are some of the watches I own.
Anyone can post pics of watches and say things.
For now I will enjoy my little beaters because I actually do like them.

I can't decide if the steel square is cringe or not

>>17400722
I think it's kinda both cringe and flex.
It's impossible to take seriously.
The whole point of the plastic and rubber is that it's hard to destroy.
It's a beater.
The metal makes it a scratch machine.
And not exactly a beater.
And yet, every time I see one, I'm like, "neat."
It's the perfect kind of ridiculous.
Makes me want one.

>>17400609
Go touch grass and meet a woman. I can assure you that before Michael Kors was so blown out as it is now, a lot of women thought they made a nice watch (many still do). I have had multiple family members say their wife wanted a “really expensive Michael Kors watch” and it was some $300-400 shitter. This is the reality that normal people live in. They think a $500 watch is a good watch.
>>17400692
Makes sense. They only care about the look and second the name. Hell my wife will wear her quartz shitters when they are dead. It’s literally just jewelry.

>>17400744
I guess if you only know poor people maybe adult human females are not embarrassed to wear Forever 21 and MK branded stuff. I wouldn't know.

>>17400722
The case outside the bezel should be made more angular, the shape looks ok in resin but a bit cheap in metal.

Owning a used, Rolex explorer from 2005 and a 1080p thinkpad doesn't make you rich, Baguette.

Second attempt worked much better but I still need to get thinner. I had to abandon the brass backing plate and superglue the dial feet directly to the paper dial. Makes me nervous for long-term durability but hey it fits.

>>17401254
I'd have to get different hands so that you don't see the hole in the center for the seconds pin but yeah theoretically. But I want seconds.
>>17401260
Obviously this isn't for everyone and I get that, but thanks. It looked a lot nicer before I ran into some issues with fitting the hands, movement holder, and crown stem which rolled over some edges of the paper, particularly the hair tips.

+12s/day right now, but if the hour hand hits anything I expect it to get much worse. So time will tell how accurate it actually is.

Found this at an antique store, still in the box. Late 80s, early 90s I’d assume. It’s nothing crazy but I like it.

>>17401275
Nice find

what model is this?

>>17401296
Can't tell from this photo. The reference number is printed under the 6 o'clock marker. By the looks of it i'd say it was made somewhere between 1965 and 1975. The seconds hand looks broken.

What are the opinions of Citizen Eco-drive watches?

>>17401296
Got any better photos? The more i look at it the more i think it's a mumbai special. The hour and minute hands are correct, the seconds hand shape is correct as well but it's too short. The case is almost certainly Seiko. The dial looks off, the markers look correct at first but they look flat, like they were printed, i don't think Seiko did printed markers like that. The minute markers are misaligned too, and the date border doesn't instill much confidence either. The dial is probably repainted. Date wheel looks correct. Not sure about the crown.
If the seller is from India do not buy. Probably best idea to not buy. I do like the case, it looks to be in good condition, if you can be bothered to find an original dial for it then buy it, otherwise not.

>>17401313
Yeah the lugs look like an HMT. That style of band is also popular in india, on HMT watches

>>17401313
>The dial is probably repainted.
*the watch has a non-original, painted dial

>>17401313
>The case is almost certainly Seiko.
>>17401323
>Yeah the lugs look like an HMT. That style of band is also popular in india, on HMT watches
I checked and yes you are right, i suck cocks. The case is from an HMT with a painted Seiko dial and Seiko hands. Seiko did use similar lug shape so i got fooled for a moment there. They tried to make a franken that sort of looks like a Seiko but not quite.

> watch i ordered was stolen out of the packaging

can I get an F for the watch I'll never wear, and for my waning interest in this stupid fucking hobby

>>17401464
F. Is that the one?
>Hobby

>>17401468
Yep. Whatever you want to call it. The latest interest of mine ruined by the actions of "certain" """people"""

>>17401464
Do you own a G Shock 5600 or 5610? It will revive your interest quick.

>>17401673
No but I have this. Haven't worn in seven years since the strap fell apart but it's still really accurate.

I really wanted that ML. I needed a nice dress watch, virtually all I have is divers.

Speaking of which I already found a nice old Heuer I like as a cope for the one I lost but the crystal is cloudy as fuck. Is it expensive or difficult to get a crystal replaced?

leg lengthening surgeries are actually unbelievably retarded, you will look like a badly proportioned tiny torso idiot for the rest of your life and you will never be able to engage in strenuous physical activity ever again because your legs are incredibly fragile from literally being shattered and forced to regrow. almost as bad as getting a tranny axe wound.

>>17401899
Your legs are way more prone to breaking for the rest of your life, and you spend 6 months to a year recovering. For vanity.

You are putting on a front that you have money, are successful, and tall, but I would venture a bet that you are none of these things. In fact, people who are wealthy only use their DISPOSABLE income to buy luxury goods, and any insinuation that your value as a human being is dictated by your bank account is frankly, below low IQ.

Just bought a DW5600MS for the military. It's on the way.

Effay or nah?

>>17401942
I love me a G-Shock, so I would say yes...
If I can ask, is the MS version just blacked out or is there extra AR coating on it? Is there a list of watches that are 'approved'? What branch?

>>17401949
I think it's just blacked out.

Aussie army, as far as I know the rules are "nothing shiny" and probably some stuff about smart watches.

>>17401954
Nice! Yeah I just looked it up... it looks like it has a red EL backlight as well, which makes sense... I know that all telescope related equipment uses red light because your eyes can re-adjust almost instantly.

>>17401954
You kind of sent me down a rabbit hole... found this really cool Pinterest board of Australian Army issued watches throughout history...
https://www.pinterest.com.au/kenpatterson59/australian-military-issued-watches/

I found one regulation in the Army Dress Manual...

2.53 Watches or watch bands are not to be worn when they may create a safety
hazard. Brightly coloured watches or watch bands are not permitted. Pocket watches
with visible chains are not to be worn with the Australian Army uniform. On a
ceremonial parade a watch is not to be worn by any member, except the senior soldier controlling the sequence of a parade; normally the RSM or CSM (E) who may
wear an inconspicuous timepiece.

Tim Mosso's new watch is Bitcoin-themed.

Does this mean the bottom if finally in?

This is actually genius to push bitcoin millionaires into their own thread, personally I'm loving my PRX still

>>17401942
>Military
I reckon you're going to regret getting a blackout display version, it surely is effay but also a lot less readable in a watch that is about pure practicality and presumably why you've bought it for soldiering with.

Good evening niggers

Does anyone else apart from Seiko do applied minute markers?

>>17402103

>>17400264
>>17400293
In case anyone wanted to know, the import duty was approx. $200, the waybill listed the value as approx. $1750 (it matched what I actually paid)

Current US MSRP is $2200, and I have read that GS doesn't discount ever, so with tax I would have paid about $2400 at a GS store

So I saved almost $500, in return for not being permitted into el club des grandes cebollas estadounidenses, and having to wait 4 days, and send it to japan if I have issues or pay out of pocket for a local service. I probably wouldn't have considered that savings worthwhile if I was dealing with some rando from chrono24 but it's seiya, he has a good reputation. Also it's quartz, there's not much that can go wrong

The other hidden cost is I paid $25 for a wera 1.2mm flathead screwdriver, and $9 for loctite 222, and the boutique would have sized it for me. If you're a real watch guy(tm) you'd already own this stuff so that wouldn't count

>>17401923
I know this is supposed to be "ha ha shitty car" but as a car hater that's probably the kind of thing I'd go for if I had to move to a car-dependent shit hole, also the girl is cute

I have both.

>>17402352

>>17402366
that's quite large for you

>>17402380
It is, I have small wrists, but I still like wearing it.

The movement is total shit but I love this little fucker

>>17402366
Imma let you all in on a little secret, I'm working on a /wt/ Diver Watch infographic and this is the blurb I have for the Pagani:

> Pagani Design Whatever - It's 2AM, and you're awakened by the sound of your kitchen appliances talking to you again. Fumbling your way through your government-funded, cigarette-smelling apartment, the microwave gives you your latest orders - you must infiltrate the international time-travelling Hollywood lizard pedophile sex party occuring in the basement of the local Little Caesar's pizzeria 24 hours from now and expose them to the world. You'll need a watch to help you blend in Hitman-style with the wealthy elites in attendance, but there's a problem - besides the short notice, your budget is three loosies, and $8 of food stamps in a chain wallet. This is where Pagani Design comes in. The world leaders in being cheating frauds, "Pagani" is ""proudly"" based in the """"People's Republic"""" of China. Their catalog has too many goddamn models to list and they're nearly 100% blatant copies of specific luxury watches. If you need to fake wealth and don't mind funding Xiughur genocide and the future* invasion of Taiwan, these are actually relatively solid watches on a budget.

Does anyone have experience with Strapcode steel bracelets in general? I want to get one for my Mako 2 and they look quite promising. I don't want them to rassle or anything

>>17402462
Why the fuck can't they make three-piece solid endlinks? This one piece blob looks so nasty on most bracelets, it spoils the whole look, why even bother doing all the bracelet links when it ends with that.

Out of these three, which one is the most versatile? They’re on sale at my local surplus for $40. I need a EDC beater watch.

>>17400145

When your watch costs more than the HR Cunt's annual take home pay, do you give a fuck?

>>17400802
He no longer has the watch he's wearing in this picture and it's the best watch ever made, this and an explorer 36 and you're done, but no that dumb cuck sold it but kept 'the fligthy', his opinion on anything is forever invalid

>>17402473
That is indeed a lovely watch.

>>17402478
I'm poor so I bought an homage (pic rel) but I would've been chuffed to bits with a real vintage one I would have put it on a nato and worn it in good health I'll never forgive that skinny little cuck with his little chicken neck for selling it

>>17401942
The negative display can be a pain but you should be fine if you're young.

>>17402344
To get a better negative display on a square you have to get a steel one with an STN display. The other alternative would be a MIP display.

>>17402471
For outfits black is more versatile, for features the digital DW-5600 are more versatile.

Thanks. The black model is so big and ugly. But it fits with just about everything, like you said.

Love my PRX still after 10 months, would like to get more Quartz Crisis themed watches, they just seem more plausibly "my granddad's watch" vintage to me as a millenial compared to the kind of fauxtina'd, 1920s inspired watches people usually buy as vintage watches.

>>17402462
Strapcode stuff is fine. Maybe a bit pricey but if you want fitted end links that's your only option. They are solid and robust and don't feel cheap. Compared to a cheapo orient or seiko factory bracelet you will think it feels much nicer

It goes into details but estimates the latency is an extra 20ms, so it's around 30ms inaccurate at sync.

But then the time drifts due to the quartz so that can add up to a lot more over a day or more.

>>17402471
These are all ass, you want a non-negative display.

Basic GW5600 is $50 on Amazon right now. That or an F91W

Frens I just bought a neat maroon coat and I want a dive watch to match. Doesn't need to be fancy or expensive just tasteful. Only one I've seen is this Mako but it seems overpriced for what it is. What do?

>>17403091
Thanks. I tried applied indicies on the first proof-of-concept and they didn't turn out well. When cut out, the foil paper sides aren't reflective and even after applying a metallic sharpie to the sides they still looked ugly. I wanted a metallic foil for these, and the cutout ones looked better with this. If I do applied indicies I think i'm stuck with solid colors unless I figure something else out, but that will probably be fine depending on the design

>>17403103
>overpriced for what it is
nigga that watch is 150-200 dollars new on amazon, if you think that´s expensive for a watch you don´t need a new watch

>>17403103
makos are not overpriced at all

>>17403103
Sounds borderline to “matchy matchy”

>>17403109
I know you're working with craft paper and foil, but for indices with some dimensionality to them you might cut out shapes from small gauge wire or modelmaking bar stock.
if you're a real madlad you might even cut out shapes from extra fine sheetmetal.

>>17403128
Yeah I don't wanna do that. At that point why don't I just make a 'real' watch dial

>>17403121
It never occured to me to check Amazon for some reason. I'm a bit of a jew when it comes to watches and I've never paid full price for anything. $200 is still half of what I paid for my mint condition Aquaracer so in my semitic brain that's still expensive, or at least not a deal. Oh well, I'll probably do it anyway.

thank you sister i support your transition journey. you are heckin valid.

>>17403633
I was going for it either way, my friend. I was looking for something "else" so to say.

>>17403628
It honestly is, having a conventional shaped watch is too manly and too functional for some women, they want jewelry that also tells the time and this rectangular shape fits the contours of the strap to ultimately give it the appearance of a bracelet rather than that of a watch.

Think about it, this is an old watch design, back when there was no such thing as unisex in fashion and conventional watches were marketed as something manly and tool-like for men, women need to tell the time as well but fashionable women didn't want a watch that looks like something advertised to labourers and explorers, so these slim rectangular designs were made to avoid looking too much like a watch. This specific version with no indices just furthers the distance between this as a piece of feminine jewelry and a practical tool for men.

That is a girls' watch.

>>17403636
>practical tool for men
What the fuck are you on? Who uses a watch as a tool nowadays? Like a proper tool, besides timing your espresso brewing process with a chronograph or shit like that. Fuck off with your shit take, absolute nigger.

>>17399615
hi guys, this thingy on my strap is almost torn.. should i buy an entire new strap on amazon or are there ways to fix it?

>>17403641
Buy a new watch, it's only 20$.

>>17403637
Do you not understand what marketing is? Regardless of whether their utility is required, watches for men are still marketed as a gentleman's practical yet sophisticated tool and designed accordingly. Girls watches are marketed as jewelry, by jewelry brands (like Cartier) with designs that do not look like conventional, masculine watches but are slim and unimposing with their plain, uncomplicated dials on their slender, delicate wrists.

As I said, be angry but you mark my words, this time next year you'll be arguing with people that guys can wear skirts too.
