/fa/ - Fashion

Some of you might remember me posting a lot of casio shitters that I bought for cheap. With school easing up I dug into my junk drawer and found one that interested me from the start
It came on a broken bracelet so I slapped it onto the only band I have that fits it and it doesn't look half bad IMO, though I think smooth leather might be the better choice here and a different style instead of this vintage look. What really has me curious about this watch is that I have 4 phone numbers of Japanese women in it and I feel like I have to call them. Entry 1 is Misako, entry 2 is Nagako, 3 is Namie, and 4 is Sachie. I would post their phone numbers on here but I fear I would get banned for doxing.

>DO NOT FEAR ME, BOY

a168 best casio

>>17448240
You misspelled basic bitch casio for unimaginative losers.

>>17448242
Casio fegeleins always think they have something unique and contrarian without realizing that's what everyone threw in the bin after a year's use.

>>17448239
Kek
Thanks for that, anon

>>17448243
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>17448245
I'm glad you were entertained

>>17448242
You have no taste, my friend. Go Casio or go fuck yourself.

>>17448254
I've got more taste than you can fathom

>Cope if you must and you will

>>17448254
most normie watch ever, second to an Apple watch
>taste

>>17448280
shhhhhh, let the casio incels think they’re special

>>17448280
Thank you, someone gets it. If you're gonna get a casio atleast get something other than the basic bitch f91 or its variants. Hell an f94 is a better choice, or the calculator watch, or the Royale, atleast it shows you went a little further in your decision making process rather than just choosing the default casio.

>>17448287
I got one of these to match my windbreaker

>>17448288
Also got a w86 to match my other windbreaker

>>17448287
>If you're gonna get a casio atleast get something other than the basic bitch f91 or its variants. Hell an f94 is a better choice, or the calculator
YES

>>17448309
I still regret buying this but I can't convince myself to sell it because it does work with some fits.

>>17448311
>regret buying this

>>17448287
I have this Duro, but my everyday watch is the DW 5600. I love that thing.

>>17448320
It's not as versatile as I hoped, it's also very flat looking, I wish the reds had more contrast between them. I would rather have this as my red gshock.

>>17448321
Based

>>17448321
>>17448323
I have a love hate relationship with the duro. I hate mine, but I like seeing others wear it. I can't get rid of it either because I tell myself if I ever go vacation in a not so great country I'll wear it because I don't care if someone takes it.

>>17448325
Weird attitude to have, I think it's one of the best dive watches around. Especially at the price point.

>>17448327
The lume is shit and the proportio are kinda crap. After I got the fogmaster(pic related) the duro hasn't seen any wrist time. I much prefer the dial on the foggy because it deels like it has depth to it thanks to the chapter ring and the proportions are better.

I like this watch a lot but it's a dinner plate for my wrist. Why do manufactures stopped making 36mm watches? There's literally almost no watch I can wear and I'm not even extreme wristlet.

>>17448330
It looks fine

>>17448335
That's not my wrist.

>>17448337
Ah....yeah...

If you had to /wt/, which one(s)?

>>17448340
They're all pretty good depending on what strap you use.

>>17448340
Mercury because I'm just that boring, if I was being more playful Jupiter.

>>17448340
i would rather buy a real speedmaster and not a plastic toy, and i don’t even like the speedmaster

>>17448288
>>17448290
Yes, this is how it's done.

>>17448351
Based 90s aesthetic.

>>17448340
Mars 100%

>>17448340
2nd from left top row. feels fresh and yet still decent to me.

otherwise black in black (safest choice) and the last one bottom right in grey because it suits well along with everything.

Opinions on logines? I kinda drift between hamilton, damasko, sinn, nomos and longines as my first big boy watch.

>>17448288
>>17448290
I color coordinate the straps to my shirts and socks sometimes, it's a small detail but it can make a big difference, and it's fun.

>>17448240
>resin case
Disgusting

Why is it so hard to find a nice looking solar powered radio controlled watch?

>>17448435

>>17448330
I am wearing one of these rn and thinking about how I could do with an extra mm or two, especially with how a Zulu straps rings sit on the wrist knuckle.
How small are your wrists? Mine are 7⅜", pretty average size, surely?

Why are screwdown case backs associated with better water resistance if it largely comes down to the quality of the gaskets and opening a screw down case back damages said gasket? Why are pushdown case backs less water resistant?

>>17448446
The only nice wacth I could find.

>>17448330
Nomos make small watches. The Orion is small and slim.
The meme eco drive Citizen beater field watch is also 36mm.

>>17448414
It' s a poorfag malli shittger, jus tlike all the other brandas you mgnisted

>>17448290
no disrespect, i really like what u did thar, having a w-86 of my own, i got this because it goes with everything
(today is very much a dress down working from home day)

>>17448330
Look for women watches, many advertise watches smaller than 38 as that, pretty stupid if all the difference is the size unless they have diamonds,motherpearl and other girly shit.

>>17448414
I'd prefer the longines over any of the other brands, although sinn is also great if you have a model that you like

>>17448260
I have this now and I'm happy

Would a dress 35mm watch look funny on a guy with 8 inch wrists? I love so many dress watches but I don’t have one; my smallest watch is 42mm. I also generally work in construction as a supervisor and wear blue collar casual clothing.

It’s over isn’t it?

> Pic related is a 45.5mm watch on me, I was also considering a fifty fathoms but it might be redundant to have two large divers

>>17448531
Fuck you fag

>>17448535
Y tho

>>17448531
This is what the watch looks like on other wrists btw
>Kek

>>17448542
Oof can you imagine posting that image online thinking that looks good

>>17448557
>my reaction to the explorer fag

>>17448531
You fucking liar, you're a wristlet goddamn

>>17448531
Honestly yeah, anything elegant is just going to look girly on your wrists and that's the last thing you want working in construction.

I've also got an above average wrist size and tbqh I'm jealous of wristlets having a whole world of vintage watches open to them because they're all like 33mm - 36mm

>>17448510
I like the clean minimalism of sinn and damasko much more than nomos quircky bauhaus. But nomos has inhouse movement, so thats a plus in my eyes.

>>17448542
You can tell he thinks it looks fresh.
>>17448560
Here you go man, best I could in my car, since apparently the original post compared to the actual wristlet in his car post wasn’t enough for you. Now you can post yours lol
>>17448564
That I agree with for sure, but I question whether I could pull off a 35mm Lange outside of work without looks stupid. I don’t wear suits generally either, at most a polo.

>>17448414
Longines is bretty gud snd has many cool watches,one day y will get their legend diver

>>17448570
>But nomos has inhouse movement, so thats a plus in my eyes.
Having to send the watch back to the factory and wait months until it gets serviced is something desirable?. In house is mostly a meme unless we are talking about high tier complications movements, a in house watch with day/date will work exactly the same as a sellita/eta/whatever

>>17448570

>>17448572
I think it's over emphasised just how smart dress watches are, they certainly appropriate for a suit but wearing one with a polo shirt isn't going to be like wearing a bow tie with a tank top.

If you think about it, a dress watch is just metal and leather so it's going to match your belt or your shoes or perhaps the metal matches your sunglasses, they're not usual materials for casual clothing and the dial is for the owners eyes only so don't even worry about that.

Again, size is likely to be a problem. If you're making a 45mm Planet Ocean look adequately proportioned then you're going to dwarf a 35mm dress watch and it's likely going to look like a watch for a woman. Patricians will know what's up, but will everyone else?

>>17448564
>>17448594
Yeah man, you understand from your own experiences too and I agree with everything you said. The issue is not the formality of the dress watch outside of work, it is the sizing. I will just have to live with my skydweller being my dress watch then. I might just trade in my Tudor for a calibre 11 Monaco or a blancpain and call it a 3 watch collection with no actual dress watch.

Also the guy calling me out for being a wristlet is nowhere to be found anymore. Really sad case, probably busy looking up “how do you jelq your wrist to make it bigger

>>17448572
you're meant to measure with your fingers splayed
but going by that pic, yeah you're close to 8 inch

as a chonky 7.5 incher, i can tell you that a 36mm watch looks close somewhat feminine on me, but you 'can' alleviate that a little with a decent strap that doesn't taper too much
isn't going to work every time though

but hey, look up pics of cassius clay/mohammed ali wearing a cartier tank, and if you think you can pull that off, go for it big lad

Thoughts? I'm starting to grow out of dive watches and the "luxury tool watch" meme but I always imagined my future big boy watch to be a diver of some kind, but now I'm swaying towards getting a dressier watch as the big boy watch while retaining my current Tissot as a daily "please don't mug me" watch.

>>17448611
>Thoughts?

there is never at any point at any time going to be an occasion when that doesn't look good
would be pretty retarded to go snorkelling with it, but you'd be a very stylish retard

>>17448611
It’s a fine looking watch. Don’t buy it retail unless you Jew the absolute tits off of them. I believe Omega arbitrarily keeps their prices high to rival Rolex. Never pay list. NEVER.

>>17448590

>>17448627
Yeah I've seen them for like £2000 less than the ticket price albeit on sale, but I'm taking that as the real price anyway

>>17448611

Can anyone recommend some cheap chrono watches?

>>17448654
Define cheap? Are we looking at quartz AliExpress shitters or are we talking entry-level Swiss mechanical chronos?

>>17448654

>>17448531
>it might be redundant to have two large divers
The buy a 3rd one so now is a "preference".

>>17448686
I have a lot of experience in claiming my taste is just a “preference” not a “fetish” to the Asian women I have dated.

no I was the geeky overweight kid who liked vidya and got picked on untill i was forced by my dad to take jujitsu and football in high-school and then everyone stopped picking on me when I benched 260lbs in 9th grade

Your Dad made you sit on BBC?

>PVD gold
what's the point of getting yourself mugged over painted metal?

>>17448723
Well I also had to do muay Thai and my sensai ken rose was black so ye

>>17448720
His dad liked to watch him get stretched out by bbc. Good thing he can use the Casio wrist calculator to keep track of the inches going into his ass

>>17448720
>everyone stopped picking on me when I benched 260lbs in 9th grade
Why?

>>17448733
No he used it to track thrusts per minute. You wouldn't need a calculator to measure inches retard

>>17448728
Are you also a navy seal bro? Perhaps a merc?

>>17448736
Shame that all his dad could afford was the Casio. Perhaps a nice chrono to keep track of how long he was getting it

>>17448734
We had lift a thon fund raiser events and when I did the 4 lifts bench, clean and jerk, squat, and dead lift, my combined total was the 3rd highest ever for the school. I just wanted to play halo 3 and take regular pe but I couldn't

>>17448627
I think that it makes sense to buy omega from the AD, I want the whole experience of getting the timepiece

>>17448737
No only did like 3 years of bjj and muay thai

>>17448740
Your lifts may have been 3rd best in your high school but your weight was definitely the highest. Fat boyyyyyy

>>17448740
Ok but answer the question?

>>17448742
I paid 18k on a watch that you could buy new for 12k right now. If you think getting champagne and having an AD be nice because they’re ripping you off go for it, I won’t stop you if that’s worthy a 33% mark up to you for the same watch, but don’t say you weren’t warned to how it is. It was my first mistake ever buying a ‘luxury’ watch

>>17448745
Oh well I was a meek kid who liked vidya games and was an introvert and then I'm out lifting extrovert popular kids and kids bigger than me.
>>17448744
Funny enough I was lifting more than other students that were larger than me in both height and weight.

>>17448747
Where to buy luxury-semi luxury and enthusiast watches then? I mean, I'm a noob and don't know much, but its scary as fuck to pay 2k+ to infinity from shady shops or from some romanian. I would juat assume its fake.

>>17448465
No looks like an Archie luxury impression

>>17448664
>>17448678
Sub 200 dollars

>>17448749
>Oh well I was a meek kid who liked vidya games and was an introvert and then I'm out lifting extrovert popular kids and kids bigger than me.
How does lifting factor into it? You were still a creepy loser, why does being able to lift something change that? You're a creepy loser here, do you think you telling us that you're a gay roidfag somehow changes things?

>>17448775
I'd never touch steroids or take any injections I'm doing a augless run.

>>17448776
Then you're a double loser for wasting time and energy on something that normal people just do in 1/100 of the time/effort.

>>17448779
oh ok

>>17448771
I would go for any quartz seiko chronograph at that price which I can find.

>>17448771
Pagani design

>>17448771
Casio mtp 4500 is something I've been looking at
Casio EF 527 if you can handle a 44mm watch, it's pretty big.

How often is it acceptable to wear a $22k watch?

>>17448785
What seiko chronos do you see going for under 200 that are even worth getting?

>>17448834
Which watch? With insurance whenever

>>17448775
You’re so mean for no reason I just wanted to share my treasured Casio watches and then you guys brought back all of my childhood memories. I’m never ever coming back here goodbye and told riddance you assholes

>>17448857
Pic related. My rich father in law gave it to me because it didn’t fit his little bitch wrist. What is watch insurance? I’ve never owned a fancy watch.

>>17448862
why are you pretending to be me?

>>17448862
Good, seethe. Let the darkness take you in fat boy.

I will be watching you.

>>17448872
watch me fap

>>17448865
Jelly of you for getting the watch, but even more gelatinous of your father in law for paying retail for watch you could get much less on the gray market because demand is low.

Anyway I use Hodinkee underwritten by Chubb unironically. They’re faggots but the watch insurance actually pays. Enjoy, it’s actually a perfect watch even for enthusiasts at that price point.

Question. What's a cheap ass watch i can easily slap a nato strap on and not worry about damaging it?
Going nato cause my wrist is hairy and sweats in the heat so no to metal links and rubber straps.

>>17448874
Fapping because you have never felt a woman’s embrace?

ye

>>17448878
Casio duro, vostok, and how cheap?

>>17448882
Super cheap like under $30. Something I can use and not loose sleep over if I need to replace it but can work long term.
I'm looking for too many complications.
My wrist size is close to between 7'5" - 8'

>>17448886

>>17448751
At the mall?

>>17448916
The palm dial or the new green sunburst are the hot ones.I’m quite fond of the black and the blue one personally but I have an explorer so I wouldn’t get the black one. The other guy recommending white and silver is some dumb boomer

I wish they had the mother of pearl dial without diamonds.

>>17448960

>>17449314
Oh..I see it's the Avatar version, only downside of this watch it's only WR 50mts

why havent you switched to smart watches?

>>17449316
The proportions are ass, the bezel is inoperable if your hands are wet, it's oversized, the lume might as well be non existent, and it doesn't even come with a bracelet anymore. I can go on but I think I made my point.

>>17449324
cause one time when I was working at a convenience store, the sushi machine broke and started shooting fluid into the ceiling and all over me. The manager ran in and was looking for the cap that flew off while it was still shooting juice everywhere. After we managed to get the cap on and fastened we both realized we were partially drenched and our watches got coated in it. His smart watch was destroyed and all I had to do was rinse my dive watch off lol

How often are you around people who work for you that you don't want to pay that much?

Because if you've got household staff or run some company with a lot of low levels it's going to sound tone-deaf to people when you talk about cost-cutting while wearing that. If you're, say, a law partner who deals with a bunch of really rich clients and your "poor" associates make $200k a year, then wear it whenever.

>>17449346
If you're going to default to normal then you're only on a fashion forum to troll.

>>17449390
I’m not him but your overwhelming concern for which Casio he chooses made me feel second-hand embarrassment. I can’t imagine being so pedantically poor.

>>17449316
I Will get one. I am more than Willing too. Thank you for your watch information service.

>>17449429
>overwhelming concern
You're illiterate if that's what you gathered from this.

>>17449324
Don't like that I have to replace it every so often, don't want to be bothered by tech on my wrist, don't want to look like a dope.

I'd rather have an old school watch since it's more fashionable and good for checking the time at a glance without pulling out my phone.

>>17449324
Only found use for one at the gym. Apart from that I hate them.

my big zero arrived today - runs perfectly and is in mint condition

Where did you buy it from? I like it.

>>17448886
I have an 8-inch hairy wrist. I've worn a Casio W800h for backpacking and swimming for 9 years now. The resin strap that comes with it is my favorite watch band ever, sweat doesn't irritate at all.

>>17449494
ebay - took a month and a half to ship from Ukraine

Trying to find a watch for under $1k for my grandfather. Has to have a good lume. Been looking at a lot of Alpinist's but I think he'd want slicker hands. He likes gold. Any recs?

>>17449177
I really like the longines look in general

>>17449611
Get him anything, he'll like it or just get him something expensive, you're going to end up with it eventually

>>17448440
My wrist is 6.5". It's enough to wear 38mm watch but it simply won't look as good as on 7" wrist which is basically my issue with most watches out there. 7" is the standard.
>>17448483
Not quite my style although pretty nice collection.
>>17448504
Actually considering getting "Expedition" version of PRS25. The one with black dial is too much of a rolex cope. I think 25EXP stands more on it's own.

>>17449497
>he thinks that wrist is hairy
oh boy, you know nothing about monkee forearms

Is there really no actually obtainable watch that looks like this? None of the casio shitters I've seen have straight lugs or a dial that doesn't look like shit.

>>17449280
Works fine for me. Does yours do something weird?

>>17449316
It's a great watch but comparing it to something like a Submariner is retarded. Even comparing to a Seiko Prospex is a real stretch.

>>17449718
Nah most watches are more interesting than that

>>17449746
I'm sure you think your casio or moonswatch looks great but when you become an adult you'll get why I want a watch that looks good.

>>17449718
This just looks like a classroom wall clock with bars.

post some iconic vintage motivs on watches!

I really love pic related, i was going to buy one but then i thought maybe russian/soviet watches are currentyl especially expensive due to the War? do you know what they went for before the war? they are currently around 100 $ wich i am willing to pay but maybe they are cheaper when the war blows over? I would be thankful for any insight on this :)

>>17449747
Okay, you're not talking about that Seiko though right?

Do Anons really dump thousands of dollars cash in one go on each of their watches, or do you put it on a credit card or use some kind of 0% interest payment plan?

>>17449806
It depends on the anon. I personally just save for a few weeks or months and pay in cash if I want something really interesting.

Had to share mine, I like it but don't you think it's a pain in the ass when there's a time change and you have to click the fucking button for a minute straight.

I am looking to buy a Timex Weekender Chronograph, would anyone care to suggest better alternatives or similar watches in a close price range?

>>17449826

>>17449806
When you say "cash" do you mean do I literally put wads of legal tender paper bank notes issued by a national treasury into an envelope and send them by steamship to some random guy in japan? Do euros really?

No, I put it on a credit card like everything else because I'm not living in the last century, how are you even on the internet?

Also lol @ "payment plan"

>>17449807
Why would you do that when it's a security risk and you're at the mercy of the seller?

>>17449900
I didn't mean paying cash so literally, I mean do you have that full amount in your account and you pay the full price in one lump sum, or split the costs somehow?

>>17449914
The only things I've ever "bought" without having liquid cash in my bank to cover the transaction were my college education, a car I bought a long time ago and later sold, and my apartment

>>17449925
Okay thanks for answering my question

Guys I would like a dressy preferable tonneau shaped watch that also has GMT and isn't an actual dress watch, I want something that just looks like it would be a watch that an obscure bohemian poet wore 50 years ago while traveling from Paris to Vladivostok.

>>17448726
muggers hate this one small trick

>>17450002
define "actual dress watch" because I remember a few threads ago being talked down to by a bunch of neckbears who thought the idea of a reverso, literally the original sports watch, with casual clothes would blow my mind

>>17450003
imagine carrying around a weapon because you bought a watch you couldn't afford, do americans really?

>>17450007
i carry the weapon around regardless of a watch, faggot. you try living in this darkie infested shit hole we call florida

>>17450010
my neighborhood is almost 70% black and about 20% hispanic, and I walk around with a $2500 watch every day, have you tried not looking like a mark?

>>17450015
i’ll look however i please. i’ve never been bothered but why not carry if you have the option? it’s comfortable enough and can’t hurt. that way i don’t have to assist jamal in his quest to acquire dem J’s and dat henny, regardless of his need for reparations. i value even a $30 casio over the life of someone who wants to take it

>>17450020
I am an incorrigible consoomer and I have nothing against wanting to run around with a nice shooty toy if it gives you a warm happy feeling but if you're doing it because you're scared to go outside without arming yourself you've got bigger problems than your watch

>>17450006
Something you can wear with something like this.

>>17449809
That's a cheaper version of Casio edifice line watches, son

>>17450027
a lot of what are now "dress watches" would look fine with that, in fact you probably want to get a leather strap because metal would have been less typical in that time period

also fwiw gmt watches are a jet age anachronism, if you were doing trans siberian railroad you wouldn't have had a gmt

>>17449348
i preferred it when i was still imagining you both slathered in a slurry of fish guts and onions sauce :3

>>17450032
>that time period
2011?

>>17450036
2011 was not 50 years ago, are you larping as a time traveler now too?

>>17450039
I mean that pic is from 2011.

>>17450046
try to follow the conversation please

>>17450039
First GMT was made in 1953 which was 70 years ago?

>>17450053
yeah and were there a lot of commie beatnik poets wearing them while moonlighting as the navigator on a dehavilland comet to finance their travel/morphine habit?

I'm all for mix and match ahistoric fantasy but what are we going for here

>>17448446
I own this exact watch. Great in every way, I just have trouble receiving the radio signal where I'm at, but I can set it with the app on my phone. The thing is so fucking classy that it's goddamn invisible to normies. Wore it everyday for 2 years and no one said a word about it. Looks like every other $50 street watch because they all copy Bauhaus. Max Bill *IS* Bauhaus, not in the style of...

I'm in the process of buying this 45mm Zenith pilot. I'm wearing a 44mm Paneria right now, and the Zenith wears much smaller. I was surprised when I put it on my wrist. Interesting fact - in Spain you can't pay more that 1k euros in cash for a watch (other things, also?) if you are a resident. I had to sign a document saying I'm not a resident. The AD lady said it's because of Covid. The fuck? I didn't even ask why.

What's the least amount of money you can expect to spend for a flawless watch? You know, those brands that make sure that every detail is perfect and to the highest standard of quality control, not cheaping out on materials, etc. Does something like a Moonwatch make the cut? Or is it really just Rolex and upwards?

>>17450081
>moonwatch
>rolex
>flawless
no, just no

if you want cleanroom perfect f&f and you're poor enough to be talking like this, pretty much your only option is grand seiko

>>17450083
>grand seiko
they've had plenty of criticism, especially for the bracelets

>>17450080
Very nice. Post pics.

>>17450081
Around 20k is the very minimum second hand. Rolex is not a flawless watch by any means, you've to go higher.

>>17450086
Grand seiko doesn't finishes their movements properly unless you're paying for the +50k references.

>>17449718
Look into Mondaine

>>17450086
you mean the lack of a micro adjust?

>>17450089
you said flawless not flowery decorations, a basic 9f movement is flawless, just plain looking

>>17449809
You do know you can lock the hand setting function so that it just keeps rotating

>>17450021
I just like walking around eith .y shooty toy because it gives me a warm feeling in my peepee.

>>17450088
>hey guys what's a flawless watch?

>>17450092

>>17450020
Tbqh I don't agree with this attitude, I don't think taking a life is as easy as you think Anon and at the end of the day all my shit is insured and really if someone's resorting to stealing or mugging then you can be pretty sure they're in a pretty bad place and probably don't quite deserve to be murdered in cold blood over $30 tbqh. Killing someone over thirty bucks is far more crackhead-like behaviour and not really worth having someone's death (especially when it inevitably turns out they've got kids they were trying to feed) on your mind for the rest of your life imo

>>17450123
Motherfucker, niggers will rob you for the fun of it, what kind of fairytale lalal land do you live in?

>>17450081
You would have to go high end independent for this. The cheapest watch I know of that I think would fit this would be the Lang & Heyne Georg, but I've only seen images and haven't actually seen one under a loupe.

>>17450128
I mean that's true when you're dehumanising people, but anyway I sincerely hope the gun is never needed, for both yourself and your potential victim's sake.

How do you all feel about rep watches? Got this rep Tudor BB58 for $288.

is there some database for all the watches out there? I want to do my research!

i've found this but https://watchbase.com/ immediately when i wanted to do research i couldnt find the watch i needed info on

any advice?

>>17450151
wouldn't expect less of a tesla owner

>>17450151
Based because it only pisses off the right people, no one else would even notice your watch let alone care if it's genuine or not.

>>17450123
>making the world a safer place
>a bad thing

>>17450177
By murdering people over $30?

Hello /casio/. Just bought an oceanus s100.

R8 my choice. All I have rn is an f91

>>17450185
Self defense isn't murder. Get fucked

>>17450189
Anon was talking about being mugged for a $30 Casio, not getting murdered, so killing someone to prevent the loss of a cheap watch isn't self defence.

>>17450123
there's no guarantee that a mugger will be satisfied with just the theft and not beat you or worse. If someone is willing to use violent force against over a $30 watch, an iphone, and my wallet, how is one to assume rationality on their end? Better safe than sorry.

>>17450003
Lol at having to shoot a mugger to protect a 10k watch. Must be hard being poor

>>17450198
Anon didn't say that though, he simply said if someone tried to take his $30 Casio he would shoot them dead in cold blood, no consideration to whether they're actually a threat to his life, simply if someone tried to take something as valueless as a Casio watch he would murder them in retaliation.
>I would kill him because I'm scared of him
At least someone is being honest

something sporty but not big.

Don’t care, as long as it’s light

31 or 36

I grew up seeing my dad in the classic gold datejust with fluted bezel and jubilee. I like old school stuff, but I’m also not opposed to doing something a bit offbeat. I would like a Rolex, personally, but I have also been told to consider other options.
I currently wear a 31mm Frédérique Constant with Roman Numerals, white face, gold bezel and alligator band. I get compliments on it constantly, but I can’t get it wet or do anything in it.

>>17450189
If the fucker turns around it’s murder. You can’t shoot that fast because the crusted cheeto dust in your palms slows down your draw time. Don’t drop that soap

>>17450209
You're just being disingenuous now.

>>17450216
The cheeto dust actually enhances grip, thank you very much.

>>17449718
Bump.

>>17450218
Not really, that's just how ridiculous posturing makes one sound.

>>17448971
I love my date just.

>>17450223
Yes really. You're being intentionally obtuse. Go fuck yourself.

>>17450185
>someone threatens to hurt or kill you for $30
>you shoot him in self defense
Amazing. You not only protected yourself, you protected all his future victims, and you even protected the taxpayer from his welfare scams.
How is this a bad thing??

>>17450228
How so? You're trying to contextualise what anon said by putting words in his mouth to make it sound more reasonable to shoot someone dead over a $30 Casio. It's not being disingenuous to point out that anon never said
>Well I'd be scared what he'd do to me after taking the watch, what if he assaults or even murders me afterwards?
It was a straightforward proclamation, if someone tries to steal anything from anon, even a $30 Casio he will kill them.

>>17450238
Anon didn't suggest he was at risk of physical harm, just that he is willing to kill if it means holding on to a $30 Casio

>>17450253
Oh are you ESL? The conversation was about mugging. Mugging, by definition, is assault. If someone assaulted you for no monetary gain, would you be opposed to protecting yourself? Or is self defense only immoral when used against thieves?

>>17450260
No but clearly you are, anon never mentioned any fear or concern for his personal safety as a motive for killing, it was purely monetary
>i value even a $30 casio over the life of someone who wants to take it
thats it.

Anon wants to be the gunslinger with the big iron on his hip, why are you trying to take this away from him and suggest he'd actually not be killing someone over a $30 Casio but actually to protect himself out of fear?

>>17450271
>i value even a $30 casio over the life of someone who wants to take it
Oh I misunderstood, you see I thought that implied that the m*gger is trying to take said objects from you by force. I didn't realize that Ja'quarium was just politely asking you for a voluntary donation.

>>17450271
You're clearly just trolling at this point.

>>17450209
>scared
shut up if one is a civilian on the other end of robbery, there's no way to assess or trust that they are only a threat to my assets and not my life or health. Should one assume the 'best' out of muggers lol? They are using violence to get others to comply why should civilians be at their whim?

>>17450123
i’ve been to war, if my conscience was a problem this wouldn’t even register anon. just taking out the trash

>>17450271
>>i value even a $30 casio over the life of someone who wants to take it

whomst are you quoting ?

>>17450304
See
>>17450020

>>17450194
yes it is. what would they threaten me with to get the casio? my life? if my life is threatened it is self defense

I’m lefty as shit and I still support blasting the nuts off of someone who’s actively assaulting you

>>17450307
ah gotcha, messy post is messy

>>17450209
i never stated that. there is always escalation. simply beating the offender senseless could work

>>17450312
If you're in the states you're better off killing them because you could get sued for medical fees and have your life ruined in many other ways.

>>17448205
lads i need an everyday shitter that doesn't gather too much attention and works in the offfice as well as on the mountain. so far i'm eyeing a 36mm OP, 38mm aqua terra or iwc mark 20. any other i should check out?

Americans be like
>I am the judge and executioner when I'm packing my lawgiver, just try me, I dare you!
But then like
>N-no you don't understand, it was self-defence, I was so scared I just instinctively pulled the trigger

>>17450317
Subtle troll is subtle

>>17450322
i'm being serious

Post more watches you faggots, picrel is my second Casio after i drowned the F91W

>>17449718
Bump.

>>17450324
You could punch in the distance and it would tell you the average speed after you timed something with the stopwatch, shit was cash!

>>17450227
i love your datejust too anon

>>17450323
Well those aren't really shitters but alright. Aqua terra looks best.

>>17450326
What?
Reposting my ancient gshock.

>>17450334
Like i said, you could input a distance in kilometers and then when you ran the stopwatch it would tell you the average speed over that distance.

>>17450284
>>17450303
>>17450308
Well you'll have to explain to the big man upstairs how thout shall not kill shouldn't count in your case because someone else committed the lesser sin of theft

>>17450123
This argument sucks. The assailant has already made the public declaration that he values $30 in goods over my health and safety, with the implication that if I do not hand over the object of perceived value that the consequences will be violence. It isn't about the $30 object of value, it's about having someone threaten violence against you. When coupled with a gun or otherwise lethal weapon, the implication is that your life is worth less than the target property. The victim's response in kind is something that the assailant does not expect, but is proportional as the victim is responding that they value their health and safety over the health and safety of the assailant.
That said, I still wouldn't wear a fancy watch in the hood.

>>17450341
It's not murder, it's self defense ;)

>>17450340
My english failed me, when you said punch in the distance I imagined someone literally swinging their fist into the distance.

You could probably make an app for a smartwatch for that. Punch-o-meter.

Not that anon, It’s not about the watch. It’s insurance for anything. Some people are ok getting got and submitting to a criminals agenda. I’m not one of them. I’m not strapped 24/7 but I keep it in my car and in my person if I’m going somewhere specific. Because why wouldn’t you?

>>17450080
>The AD lady said it's because of Covid. The fuck?
Spaniard here. The AD was bullshitting you or a retard, maybe both. A few years ago the spanish government decided to get tough on tx evasion and all the black money in the economy. Since a lot of people launder money by buying luxury goods in cash, they began to hold business accountable for that. The response was that a lot of business established some limits to how much you can pay in cash for luxury goods. The document you signed was just a ploy to get you registered, in case you're wanted for tax evasion, money laundering, etc.

>>17449908
When I say "cash" I don't literally mean walking in with cash in hand, it's just a term for paying upfront from your own savings instead of getting a loan or financing. I don't even carry physical money anymore.

>>17450151
Based, where from?

I think there is a version of the Tudor Date-Day that meets these specs.

>>17450731
Thanks, Spanon! That's the kind of setup that could fuck me up. My passport is from a country with a reputation for money laundering. I was going to wait 5 days to pull the cash out then go back into the AD, but then I thought - what if that signed document is sitting on some waggie cops's desk/inbox, and they decide to question me when I come in to make the final payment... I went into the AD today and made the payment on my card, and I was watching those fuckers. If one of them picked up the phone I was going to bolt and walk away from the deposit. I'm not going to get stuck trying to find a Spanish lawyer from inside the joint.
