/fa/ - Fashion

Stop shilling your mediocre watches. You really have no or boring taste like that other anon said. No imagination. A true NPC. You can't even decide what your taste is so you buy two Speedys and two Semens. And all four are fucking boring. You don't even have papers for them.

I haven't been drunk in a long time. Getting half-drunk tonight. Just wanted to thank you all for being who you are.

Buy the watches you love, don't compromise or settle for second-best. If you can't afford it, save up and don't buy place-holders. Try on watches in person when you're happy and sad, or awake or tired, before pulling the trigger.

Finally, don't tell anyone. Your collection is your own, and only you must live with it. Buy what makes you happy, and fuck the rest.

That is all. I hope you all have good health, because that truly matters in the long run more than anything else in the world.

Thank you for being existant.

Does anyone have experience with steinhart watches? For their watches that are direct homages to rolexes, like their submariner clones for example, are they close enough clones that aftermarket bracelets and other case components made for a rolex will fit the steinhart?

>>17828274
Will you shut the fuck up already? God damn mouthbreather. Take your terrible watches with you.

>>17828273
I have 4 Speedies and 2 Semens. No need for papers since I won't ever sell them.

Agreed about 'no imagination'....they do all look alike, don't they? And yet...they are perfection.

Imagination is, to be blunt, a falsehood to encourage you to buy that which is instinctively abhorrent (a leftover of post-modernist visual art). The real 'win' is in discovering what is attractive to your eyes, and what you'd love to see on you wrist every day. Ignore the rest...

>>17828278
I absolve you. I absolve you all...

>>17828283
Nothing is perfect about a beat to shit naked Speedy. The thing looks like a truck ran over it. Absolutely disgusting. And the fact that you own a Semen Chronograph tells me you're clinically retarded. Get some fucking taste.

>>17828286
Post some of your watches

>>17828288
I own several Omegas and IWCs, all full sets and good to mint condition. I don't take pictures of them. I also own a few vintage Heuers.

I'm a watch collector, you're an NPC.

>>17828291
I'm not the same guy, let's see them watches bru. Which Heuers you have?

>>17828286
There are genuine concerns, but if serviced, a 3570.50 Speedy is as useful and aesthetically pleasing as any other 1861 Speedy that was used on the Space Shuttle or ISS.

As for the Semen chronograph...you do know it was the flagship model for Omega in 1994, and that it was the first chrono that was COSC certified while also being able to have the chronograph used AT DEPTH...that's why it's a glorious watch, alongside the aesthetic design decisions that left nothing to chance (like having the chrono-second pip line up with the centres of the subdials, or the proportions of dial and hour markers match that with the bezel and interior subdials). It's a brilliant design, happily explaining away the skele hands of the 'Bond' era Seamaster that so many deride. Combine that with a bulletproof Valjoux 7750, and you win. From a certain point of view...lol

>>17828288
You are correct; he is not sure of which team he plays for.

>>17828291
Full sets are only useful if you are reselling. If you wear your watches, a box merely takes up space.

>>17828301
Poorfag cope. Full sets are a part of watch history. Yours are bastard children. Mine know where they came from. Only a non collector would say something like this. A true collector wants papers for himself not for selling.

>>17828303
Grow up, sweet summer child. You're behind the times.

>>17828303
>poorfag cope
>guy your are replying to owns six multi-thousand dollar watches with images
>you claim to own some random luxury watches with no images or even model names
yeah, sure.

>inb4 "youre just another poorfag!"
yeah, but I am not ashamed of san martins and casios.

Best flieger with type b dial? I’ve looked at the offerings from Stowa, Laco, and IWC. Just wondering if there’s anything I’m missing

>>17828315
>m-multi thousand!
His pieces are shit and I can buy his collection 100 times over if I want. My mint Speedy is more valuable than his grail. Everything else he owns is 2k to 3k generic trash.

>>17828306
Nice counter arguments. Imagine claiming to be a watch collector and not owning a single proof of purchase, having no clue where your watch was birthed. That's the sign of an NPC.

And your collection remains trash, you bought shit.

>>17828306
>fat fingers
>small hands

Tiny cock, bad taste, no imagination, no money, naked beat up watches. Fucking embarrassing.

>>17828325
What is a naked watch and how do I relieve my watches of their nakedness?

>>17828328
It's a watch without box or papers. People buy them because they need to save money (read: cant really afford the watch). The downside is that you have no proof the watch is authentic, the watch may have been stolen on the street, the watch cannot tell you where it was originally purchased. It's also a sign of many owners and at least one of them treated the watch badly because he lost the papers and box.

>>17828323
>I can buy his collection 100 times over
post your watches and stop larping retard

>>17828336
>p-post watches
I'm not sharing those or my bank account balance you fucking idiot. I have nothing to gain by proving the size of my dick. I'm here to rate shit as shit, that's it.

>>17828337
post em nerd

>>17828322
By brand alone, the IWC is the best flieger among those, no contest.

>>17828343
By watchmaking also, unless you have an obsession with 100% in-house designed movements. The older IWCs replaced most of the ETA components with their own parts which had far tighter tolerances.

>>17828337
yeah you're a poorfag confirmed

Did Omega have better quality than Rolex at any point in history?

>>17828357
It does today, in the past too.

>>17828323
>>17828303
>>17828337
You're a massive faggot and a poor excuse for a troll.

>>17828357
Every day from its inception yeah.

Thoughts?

>>17828372
>>17828388
In spite of Omega using chink parts in the current year?

>>17828391
Yes.

>>17828303
I bet your unopened funko pop or whatver reddit loves this day collection is fucking huge, what a faggot lmao

>>17828390
ugly, but at least interesting

>>17828391
Up until that point, I think.

Rolex's strongest point was that they were just way better at marketing. Omega always made better toolwatches, Rolex just knew how to advertise to the right people.

Had Rolex's rivals done the same thing, Breitling would've shut out Rolex from appealing to pilots, Omega with divers and Zenith with racers.

That said, my key gripe with Omega resulting to Chinese factories is that that would've allowed them to keep prices the same despite inflation considering shifting manufacturing to China would've cut costs by a lot, but they wanna have their cake too, I guess.

>>17828390
The other crown should be yellow.

>>17828390
IWC Aquatimer megacope.

Any watch company that only makes 1 good watch cannot be considered part of the "Trinity." That means Audemar Piguet and Vacheron Constantin are NOT part of the Trinity.

The real Trinity: Rolex, Omega, Patek.

>>17828434
So they have to make 0 good watches?

>>17828372
my rolex oq from 1989 has better fit&finish than my omega from this year

>>17828437
Vacheron makes 0 good watches.

>>17828451
222

>>17828428
>Had Rolex's rivals done the same thing, Breitling would've shut out Rolex from appealing to pilots,
Rolex doesn't appeal to pilots as a pilots watch
>Omega with divers
Doesn't appeal to divers either
>and Zenith with racers.
And least of all does Rolex appeal to racers

Rolex appeals to people for being Rolex, muh luxury goods status symbol. They would buy it even if Rolex made trash watches. Other brands like this are RM and AP, both fucking horrible cringey meme watches that are only propped up by celebrity.

Now I won't say that Omega and friends aren't status symbols either, but they are bought and collected for horology and other reasons, also. While Rolex literally is not collected for that at all (otherwise they'd be wearing vintage Bond Submariners instead of a green watch).

>>17828455
Royal Oak cope.

>>17828460
Rolex pioneered waterproof watches and the "day" complication and their designs were innovative for their time.

Excelent watches made by Vacheron Constantin:
222
Patrimony
American 1921
Overseas
Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Chronograph (picrel)
Grand complications
And the list goes on...

>>17828467
Every single one of these is a ripoff of something made by another company. VC has no original, iconic designs that other companies copied.

>>17828470
>Every single one of these is a ripoff of something made by another company.
Show me the watch the American 1921 is ripping off. Same with the Traditionnelle and the grand complications.
Retard.

>>17828464
>Rolex pioneered waterproof watches and the "day" complication and their designs were innovative for their time.
How does this disprove anything I said?

>>17828464
A lot of that is just marketing. https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/waterproof.php

Rolex always had great marketing, and their watches were good enough where people never questioned whether the claims they made were true.

>>17828473
>Show me the watch the American 1921 is ripping off.
Panerai Radiomir

>>17828476
Alot of the most expensive watches ever sold at auction are vintage Rolexes. This shows that Rolex has had a significant cultural impact.

>>17828479
Panerai didn't invent the cushion case, dumbass. These cases were popular in the 1920s.

>>17828479
>Radiomir
You're fucking, irredeemably, stupid. LMAO How retarded are you?
Literally not a single Panerai with a tilded dial, nor the typography or hands, or lugs, or the crown in the corner, etc...
The only shared aspect is the cushion case and that predates Panerai too.
Never have kids.

>>17828481
It's because of their consistent decades-long marketing campaign. Open up any boomer magazine, and you will find a Rolex ad. There are decades-worth of photographs of celebrities wearing Rolxes since many of them got these watches for free (which how Newman got his Daytona). If you ask the average person to name a luxury watch brand, you will hear Rolex.

you can literally add y to the end of omega and it spells omegay. for me, that’s enough to know rolex is the better watch.

F91 is best watch.

>>17828489
>many of them got these watches for free (which how Newman got his Daytona)
he got it for "free" because his wife bought it for him as a gift lol

I VILL own this watch someday and I VILL enjoy it

Cartier Tank Must Black
Would it be wearable with casual clothes e.g jeans, sweatshirt, joggers?

>>17828274
Thanks anon. Cheers

>>17828515
it diesn't matter because you are either
a) tall and attracive, in which case you can wear whatever the fuck you want and still look attractive
b) ugly, in which case you can wear whatever the fuck you want and still look like a goblin
bottom line: wear whatever the fuck you want

>>17828512
why can't they just make this with a normal movement without the silly alarm so it doesn't cost 3x as much

>>17828274
>don't tell anyone
So we can't wear our watches?

>>17828515
Not with a leather strap. Switch it out for a rubber or fabric strap when wearing casual sporty outfits like that and you're golden

>>17828521

Good morning sirs

>>17828460
>Now I won't say that Omega and friends aren't status symbols either, but they are bought and collected for horology and other reasons
kek
99.99% "other reasons"
the only reason omega still exists is because of GoldenEye.
james bond is the only reason they're relevant at all
>b-but the mememoon!
no, people who already are into watches know about the penismoon, and only if they get interested enough to start hanging out in faggy internet places where that watch is spammed hourly
bond introduced and introduces vast swathes of consooooomers to a watch brand, perhaps the only other brand they know of, that isn't rolex which as has been stated is firmly lodged in the public consciousness tag might be the other one known because of the sports marketing

the pretense that people buy omega at all for muh urology is laughable
they buy it because of a film series about a fictional glownig and when they hang out online enough they monkey see monkey do the speedmaster

>>17828515
Don’t tell the plebs about this watch

>>17828543
Is that one o them fakes?

>>17828559
Nah, it's an unabashed AliExpress shitter

>>17828343
IWC doesn't make a B-dial flieger moron

>>17828561
I always wonder how bad a clone has to be for the company to not only not want to take responsibility for it by putting their own name on it, but not even want to embarrass anyone else by putting another company name on it.

>>17828572
Oh no, there's a billion dials without logos on there. That's why I picked this one. I picked out the parts and they assembled it. It's an NH36. I'm working on putting together parts for one I'll assemble myself too.

Which one, bros?

>38mm
>Inner AR coated sapphire glass
>316 L SS
>Miyota 9075

Been needing a dress watch and I've been eyeing these ever since it got announced and I couldn't decide between white or green. White seems good since it complements my main watch having a black dial, the faded green aesthetic on the other hand reminds me of the clocks in the movie Dark City, which is a favorite of mine.

One other thing is that unlike other Asian microbrands, which have their watches made in either Hong Kong(Zelos, RZE, Boldr) or China(Phoibos), Vario actually had theirs made in the same factory as where Citizen watches are manufactured. I guess he must have some kind of pull with Citizen since his next project involves the use of their Eco-Drive tech.

>>17828566

>>17828515
unironically where do i get a rep of this

>>17828577
It'd have to be the blue or green for me. Those are really neat, I didn't even know Miyota made a hibeat GMT. Not sure I'd spend $700 on one, but they do look lovely, especially with the bracelet.

>>17828578
That is truly grotesque

>>17828577
Its'a meee! Vaaariooo!

https://youtu.be/1RRO7tAJYnI?feature=shared

>>17828582
Not quite there yet since 28,800 being Hi-beat was some sort of marketing gimmick that was started by Seiko, true high beat is supposedly 36,000bph. That said, what makes this more notable than Seiko's NH34A is the fact that it's a True GMT vs. NH34's, which is a caller GMT.

As for pricing, the two factors that put it at that price range is the movement being a Miyota 9000 series and the fact the watch is made in Japan. From what I've read on the CEO's notes about the movements was that his timegrapher was showing -/+ 4spd without regulation when he got them, although that can vary since I have a watch with a Miyota 9075 that's at -14spd.

I'm probably going to be settling for green once I get to sell the watches I currently have at the moment.

>>17828577
For whom does the salmon look good? What kind of skintone? Does a salmon dial limit your choice of fits?

>>17828515
>what time is it?
>some time between 3 and 6?
>t-thanks

Can any of ya'll niggaz tell me when this watch was made? A local seller is asking $7,100 for it. I think it's interesting.

>>17828619
dude can't read a clock baka

>I only buy watches with history. History is a prerequisite to purchase a watch. Look and feel are not good enough reasons to purchase. My wardrobe is old money Italian labels. Don't drive a Tesla either. Only a bitch would care about how nice something looks first and not see the two things in combination. A cheap and meaningless watch is irrelevant and basically will never be remembered by anybody. You would only buy it if you won't be remembered either.

>>17828624
If it's not solid gold that's several times overpriced. Probably late 60's, early 70's?

>>17828659
It is solid gold. It contains about 3oz of gold. I was also thinking 60's-70's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgv6lOihwso
He's still right you know

>>17828660
Is the bracelet big enough for you? Remember that these annoying integrated ones can't be replaced.

Stop wearing Timex watches.

Why can't Grand Seiko make a case thinner than 12mm to save their life? I like some of their dressier models, but the proportions just feel so off.

Inherited this from my grandpa but I know nothing about these Seiko Quartz watches. Anybody know anything about these?

Been a while since I've been on here, what's the rundown on tropic straps? Who makes the best one?

>>17828704
It's nothing special, just your typical quartz movement but with a big date.

>>17828683
The new ones are just under 12mm.

>>17828707
Which MoonSwatch is that? The chrome looks cool, but I would have gone for more of the colorful ones, like Mars.

>>17828669
I don't know because I haven't seen it in person yet.

Bros is the Acutron worth it? I want one because it looks neat and the movement is interesting.

>>17828722
*Spaceview

>>17828572

>>17828683

What's a good Rolex explorer homage for under $600. Also open to ranger type watches. Chink or otherwise

>>17828739
a super clone one
bonus if it's with miyota so you'll know it won't shit itself

>>17828723
I think the vintage ones look nicer than the re-release.

>>17828739
San martin or a rep

Why do these cost so much? Are people really coping this hard with not being able to afford the Moonwatch? I thought the lack of history and ugly case would scare people off.

>>17828751
chronographs are all expensive

>>17828716
Get measurements. It would be retarded to get this watch and find out that the gold bracelet you paid extra for is too small for your wrist. No replacement straps are available except custom leather, and getting spare links might as well be considered not an option.

>>17828758
I re-checked the listing and the seller says it fits a wrist of 195mm, and my wrist is about 185mm.

But it sounds like it's probably a good buy, since your primary concern is the size of the bracelet.

>>17828762
>But it sounds like it's probably a good buy, since your primary concern is the size of the bracelet.
Don't assume that. Nobody here knows anything about this model, not even the model # so that you could at least compare prices, nor about the condition of the movement, nor the condition of the bracelet. Vintage gold bracelets are like granny's vintage underwear; stretched to all shit. Have a look at rolex daydates from that period: the bracelets are stretched beyond all wearabilty so they're usually sold on replacement straps. I only speak in generalizations based off experience in having to forgo a few really good deals on integrated bracelet 70's stuff because the previous nipponese owner took out too many links 50yrs ago.

>>17828778
Ok, thank you fren.

>>17828596
From what I recall, Salmon is moreso just to keep up with how such a dial was common with watches in the 40s-50s, and the whole schtick of this microbrand is to harken from that era specifically.

>>17828751
This
>>17828756

There's a reason why there's a lot of videos recommending the Seagull 1963 specifically since it's the only one that's reliable that's both <$1k and not quartz.

>>17828739
If you luck out finding it for less than $600 on eBay or off the Zelos Facebook group, look for the Zelos Mako Frost.

Probably the best looking homage to the Explorer II White and since it sports a Miyota 9075, it also tends to be <10 in terms of -/+spd. The one I sold was at +4spd, I regretted doing so ever since.

I bought the Malachite variant of it but it just didn't feel the same.

>>17828795
I thought salmon dials were going to be the next meme color like green was a few years ago after all those watches came out with it. I think Vacheron is trying to elevate it to a special, once in a while limited thing.
The hype hasn't really ramped up like with blue and the then green though.
I like all these vario colors. Hard choice IMO.

>>17828722
>>17828723
As long as you can find a good watchmaker (not mybob, the dude is a hack) to service it, absolutely.

>>17828810
Mybob?

>>17828817
One of the watchmakers who says he'll service accutrons. Only when I sent mine in to him it came back gaining 6 seconds per minute (not per day) and he scratched & bent the shit out of my kriesler bracelets.

I then had to send the accutron to watchmakeranon, who knew what the fuck he was doing to service it properly and undo the fuckups on the bracelets.

>>17828953
>max NPC mode.
no that would be Apple Watches

>>17828867
It reminds me of Deep Blue, and I like Deep Blue, that's not an insult. And I know the price of the Seiko is because of the movent. But c'mon.

>>17828867
I think they've released watches that look like these about 2000 times already

Are the alpinist bracelets decent or are they as cringe as every other Seiko bracelet?

>>17828977
I don't have the slightest idea, but hypothetically, why would they make the bracelet different on just one watch? And what do you not like about the bracelets in the first place?

>>17828867
Only poorfags care about seiko "drops"
R U PUR?

>>17828987
Seiko very often has rough or poor finishing on their bracelets, the case finishing often doesn't match with the bracelet, and many times they use hollow end links and hollow links and cheap stamped metal clasps with little to no adjustments and stuff. In the case of the alpinist they seem to at least have solid links and end links, so that's something.

>>17828820
All things aside why did you even send the bracelet

>>17828824

It's kind of a blessing not to ever have to talk to anyone about the time honestly. I don't know if this is a regional thing, but years ago when I was a kid every time I asked someone for the time they would look down at their watch, look back up at me and say "quarter 'til." Or "quarter after." Then I'd always have to ask the follow up question "..... quarter after what??" It annoyed the shit out of me that people wouldn't just say the hour the first time I asked the time, I had to either pry it out of them or intuit from the position of the sun what the fucking time was even though I just asked someone the time.

>>17829248
Bliger is just as good.

>>17829095
Pretty sure Rolex still makes OPs in 34mm

>>17829095
>I want no date, white only but also with an automatic movement.
Why? The reason you’re having a hard time is because your criteria make no sense. 34mm is a very traditional size. Traditional dress watches were manual wind or quartz. Why on earth would you want an automatic dress watch with no complications? It adds pointless thickness.

>>17829127
Just wear one of those giant golden Invictas bro.

>>17828977
a steel mesh might seems to look better than that bracelet for an alpinist watch. that specific steel bracelet seems to overpower the watches design. leather strap seems to look best, not overpowering or due to contrast.

>>17829110
Thanks fren. I found alot of info about it now.

>>17828678

Very cool, welcome to hell.

>>17829268
Manual wind would also be ok, but even then i didnt find any, the closest i found was the sbgw231 i think, but thats too big

>>17829351
4 good watches.

>>17829357
Are you FUCKING BLIND?
There's only TWO good watches.

What's the only 'One Watch Brand' that matters which you will stick to?

>>17829371
Gay Giano

>>17829379
Was Gay Giano your 'pic related'?

>>17828518
This is a very based opinion.

>>17829385
nothing comes close to a Gay Giano

>>17829321
Not all negative displays are shit

anybody know anything about this Komandirskie? Can't find any info or # for it

>>17829371
Rolex is not my favorite brand, but I will answer Rolex because their watches have always been of high quality (albeit overpriced), they are family owned and therefore unlikely to decline in quality, and they make nice all-gold watches.

Does wearing an all-gold watch give you a stats bonus like equipping a gold bracelet in an RPG game?

>>17828291
>I don’t take pictures of them

Ooh let me try—

I own a Tiffany Nautilus, an RM-069, a Black Panther Royal Oak, and an 1815 Homage to Walter Lange, all full sets and good to mint condition. I don’t take pictures of them. I also own a few vintage Daytonas.

>>17828889
ebay, seiko modding forums.

>>17829325

>>17829095
Go vintage.

>>17829344
Neat.

>>17829438
It's an ISU-152. No idea about the watch though.

do you rike it?

>>17829519
Ooo it vely nice

>>17829519
Don't Google Serica crown issues

>>17829523
fwiw they apparently changed the movement to an m100

>>17829519
I love the way it looks, but for that price it'd better be a Sellita or an Eta, not an unreliable Soprod that will break within two years. Also the actual dial is tiny.

Is this fake? The bezel looks like a different shade of gold than the case and bracelet.

poorfag here - rocking some old casio databank i found for next to nothing online. i own some other watches, but people tend to like this one the most

>>17829064
bloody based fuckin bloody

>>17829103
damn, the ai nailed text on this one

>>17829095
You can get some cool old Patek stuff in that size. I’ve been thinking about it myself

>>17829537
Of course not. There’s a lolex ring proving it’s real.

>>17829111
>>17829117
This AI shit better not awaken anything in me.

>>17829530
apparently there are almost identical chink copies that actually do have a sw200 or eta2824-2

What are the chances of this being real considering some grandpa is selling it for 100 euros

>>17829616
is his name srineeth?

>he wears a semenmaster

>>17829616
I'm poor but the date window looks wrong and the hands shouldn't be loom'd

>>17828821
A 4chan anon? or someone literally called watchmakeranon? either way, amazing job. Those bracelets are beautiful.

>>17829562
Damn that watch looks good

vintage jowissa time jump i picked up for $10

>>17829717
Jody the Jew has that limited edition one.

>>17829714
That's the least gay watch he mentioned so you must be bigger fag.

>>17829719
thats the titanium one right? does it come with ti bracelet?

What is your opinion on AVI-8 watches good sirs?

>>17829735
Yes it is titanium, no bracelet, comes with a cordura strap and a rubber one.

>>17829747
Titanium and the bezel is steel actually.

>>17829749
*bezel ring

>>17829691
why

>>17829671
I thought this was their usual price on Amazon, personally I would get the Cumassu though for a more attractive dial and sapphire crystal

if casio knew their vintage target they'd just put a billion buttons on their watches.

seiko boys rejoice - another classic reissue

thoughts on the bulova lunar pilot 43mm? I kinda want a 262khz, but it's a shame the second hand is part of the chronograph.

>>17829820
I don't care until they reissue the Weekdater. Even then i probably won't care since they'll surely mess it up.

>>17829639
Ask u're grandmother she still has some from when we parachooted her poop choot from World War 2 LMFAO just pull my cock out in the air and shes already bending over with her hairy French pussy to fall in LOL

I bought this meme because I like it and I got a good deal

>>17829438
Does it not match any of the cataloged case shapes? I had charts for all amphibia and komandirskie case models once but they're on some HDD somewhere. Go to meranom and go down the list of komandirskie classic models?

>>17829846
>seijko

>>17829846
Never got the Willard meme, it's ugly.

>>17829846
Put it on a green strap, hell yeah

>>17829849
There's something cool about a tough affordable utilitarian watch with no frills that doesn't care what you think of it.

>>17829446
>Rolex ... they are family owned and therefore unlikely to decline in quality,
Rolex isn't family owned. Patek and I believe AP are though. Rolex is better than family owned as it's technically a charity, not a for-profit business. The board of trustees keeps everything in check so you don't get a situation where some singular faggot ass scion inherits it all and fucks everything up in a few years like with AP's elimination of all lines cept the rokejoke and code:whogivesashit and of course the soitastic nigpanther watch or, more egregiously imo, patek's godawful 2023 lineup that looks like what boomers think younger wealthy types want but is really what "I'm too old even for a mid-life crisis" types want with all the weird colors and carbon fucking fibre and gravel dial patterns common to nameless chinkshit which looks bad on both.

>>17829859
Damn, tell us how you REALLY feel.

I might get a green tropic for it, also looking at a z199 bracelet

if you really want an 'inexpensive' moonwatch, then go for it? it seems the snoopy is cheaper than the black (both 43.5).

I have 400 USD
shill to me any analog watch with cases between 38mm and 42mm.
go.

i bought it and it was $1500 fml. It arrives Friday

>>17829519
I really like the design of it desu finna bouta buy the chink copy with a sw-200 for a third of the price

>>17829893
let me know how the accuracy is

>>17829869
It's reddit but an olive nylon would look cool

>>17829519
I like how the markers are completely misaligned, makes you check if you're wearing glasses every time you look at the watch.

>>17829847
>Go to meranom and go down the list of komandirskie classic models?
Did exactly that and couldn't find it

>>17829519
hurr in-grown cock n' balls watch
literally self-fucking homo tier lmao

>>17829946
Does it match any amphibia cases? Either it's some long discontinued case or perhaps it's a franken mishmash of vostok parts.

New Islanders just dropped

>>17829974
Damn, the anon in the last thread that accidentally splooged on his watch dial sold the idea to Mahk.

>>17828301
Wait this photo. You are the same anon that owns a savage pocket watch I saw like a full year ago? I remember something about it being serviced? Good to be back in the /WT/. Seeing anons posting Omega watches does bring back good memories.

>>17829633
This was many years ago, back when these threads were still on /g/, but yes.

>>17830022
Yeah he has a beautiful Zenith.

>>17828810
>>17828723
This. Spaceviews are cool, but you HAVE to know someone who can service these watches. If you live in a country where there isn't a single one, your best bet will be sending them for service to someone skilled.

>>17830024
So I remembered correctly. That fucking watch is absolutely an outstanding piece of art. I'm mostly into vintage Casios, especially vintage G-Shocks, but they have nothing on a great mechanical/automatic watch.

pic of the back

anyone know how hard is it to buy a rolex from an AD in japan?

>>17829438
Aren't these, vintage and modern, supposed to have some "made in USSR" or "Made in Rus.Fed" cyrillic at the bottom of the dial?

>>17830040

>>17830056
>>17829438
I can't find them in a modern vostok catalogue
It's probably either special issue or commemorative piece

>>17830065
Well cool, I like the look of it a lot and it was only $20 USD just got to get straps thinking of

https://meranom.com/en/amphibian-classic/straps/vostok-komandirskie-1965-l-brown-strap-20mm.html

or

https://meranom.com/en/amphibian-classic/straps/amphibian-nato-zulu-strap-18mm-military-green.html

but I probably have a month before it gets her so i'm open to suggestions. There's a good watchmaker in my neighborhood that i might bring it into and get some info

>>17830065
thanks for looking

>>17830025
Speaking of which, I sent mine to the guy who runs the accutron watch page for a service recently. He also did my omega megasonic (including finding some calendar parts for the instant date jump it was previously missing). Dude's in Bangkok but his service prices are pretty good.

Can you pull off a gold watch if you don't look like you're in the mafia or you're a drug dealer?

>>17830082
If you're not dressed like a bum, sure.

>>17830082
If you're a fat hairy balding guy then yeah. Otherwise it's best practice to stick with stainless steel anon. Gold or gold plated watches often look cheap and chintzy too.

>>17830082
If it's something cringe like a gold Casio or real gold dress watch, then you have to style yourself appropriately, something based like a 60mm gold Invicta will suit anyone

>>17829351
How did he get the metal bracelet watches around the steering wheel? Wouldn't he have to disconnect part of the bracelet to get it around the wheel? Also how did he keep them in place? Wouldn't they slide down the sides of the wheel?

>>17829739
Never handled one in person but some of their models look pretty cool to me bc I like airplanes

I like my Casio Range man after owning it for a year.
Pros:
>Time always bang on
>Hard to damage it (other than some reported lug issues)
>Fits with my wardrobe (black, white, and red band shirts)
>Barometer is pretty good at giving me a general idea if it's going to rain/clear up/stay the same
>Solar powered

Cons
>Still can't fucking get the sunrise/sunset right
>Too big (tolerable)
>It puts me as an autist

Any watch winder recommendations? I was interested in a small single winder from Wolf but then I noticed the vegan leather.

>>17829064
What strap? Will post mine next chance I get on a job site

>>17830162
what's wrong with vegan leather?

>>17830196
it's not leather

>>17828301
Nice beat-up Omegays, here's my beat up Aqua Terra that I recently had serviced. I'll post the parts they replaced tomorrow night

>>17830196
I like real leather made from dead animals, preferably tanned using traditional methods hazardous to the environment.

>>17830202
nice

>>17829889
The standard answer would be the Seiko Cocktail Time but i think you would get a better watch from the chinks or the Islander nowadays.

>>17829889
quartz PRX

>>17830198
it's just a winder though.
>>17830203
that's not very environment friendly

Bros are all watches other than 50mm Invictas woman sized watches?

>>17830203
traditional tanning uses the animal's brain and isn't really hazardous to the environment
