>>17932656
Are you team BitterAnon?

Cope, if you must, and you will.

Steel reef are making a bracelet extension for GS.
Spendy, I think the Rolex ones are around 110 but I'll probably get one for my GS.
GS bracelets aren't nearly as bad as people say online but it is a bit annoying that a retail 6k and up watch is still just a milled clasp that you can't get a proper fit on.

>>17932666
It's funny that you have to overpay for a shitty watch and then pay more for a trinket that makes your watch wear slightly less shitty but makes it look much shittier.

>>17932991
True I would prefer just a line or a dot, not sure why watch makers go with these partial numbers.

I got a f91 to do the shellzine minimal watch guide mod
cant decide if i want to do negative display too. has anyone tried? ive head the negative display is too hard to read so might keep it original

>>17932942
It's to conserve power. Otherwise, you'll have to change the battery every year.

>>17932942
It's so blind people can hear the ticking

>>17933008
You're still moving the hands the same amount. In fact with continuous movement there is less acceleration ie. less work and the battery would actually last longer. As and example, if your driving style is to accelerate as fast as possible from 0 to 100 mph and then back to 0 all the time instead of maintaining 60 mph you will consume a lot more fuel and brake pads.

>Do I really need to explain basics to you?
Do explain please.

>>17933121
Post your watch with a timestamp and I'll give you a thorough explanation

>>17933125
No. Just explain.

>>17933126
Now that I think of it you're totally right, quartz watches should always have sweeping seconds hand for efficiency's sake alone. Good that you pointed that out.

>>17933129
So far nobody has been able to explain why continuously spinning something uses less energy in one case and more energy in another.

>>17933130
That's because you're right, genious. It's the stupid watchmakers and big battery industry who want to keep efficient timekeeping out of our grasp.

>activating a coil with 1 Hz frequency consumes less energy than activating it with higher frequency
No way
No fucking way

>>17933137
>moving something from a standstill to going then back to standstill consumes more energy than letting it move continuously

What's the ultimate G-Shock square?

>>17933140
The round one.

>>17933139
Coils don't run continuously you drooling faggot retard

>>17933142
Then they should use a similar motor as they do in cars where moving continuously consumes less energy

>>17933143
>Then they should use a similar motor as they do in cars
Yeah they just need to scale it down to a 5 mm diameter

>>17933145
Shouldn't be a problem.

>>17933137
If you are running it continuously instead of in a high torque requirement jerky motion you can get away with a smaller motor/run the same motor with less power. It's simple math. With a smooth hand all the energy losses are due to friction, with a ticking second hand there is the same friction but also losses from accelerating and decelerating the hand.

>>17933147
I'm not going to explain what a "gear train" is and why speed and torque matters
I recommend you going back to high school

Do I like this or not?

>>17933149
>you can get away with a smaller motor/run the same motor with less power
Now you can't. Coils aren't "motors", they can't run continuously. Making a "sweep" would require either running coil at high frequency, or using a completely different type of motor which isn't nearly as energy efficient as it sounds like.

>>17933150
Just make a quartz movement with a gliding seconds hand, how hard can it be?

>>17933153
google seiko spring drive

>>17933152
Normal consumer grade brushless motors are 90% efficient which is most certainly better than some dumb stepper motor.

>>17933154
I meant battery powered, can be solar as well, that way you never run out of juice. That's it, i will make a solar powered quartz movement with a sweeping seconds hand!

Has anyone made a gas turbine powered watch?

>>17933162
Mine is powered with pure seethe

>>17933158
Bulova Accutron 2

>>17933163
A cope powered watch would be even better. Or maybe combine the two. Cope and seethe powered™

>>17933165
spring drive already exists

>>17933166

>>17933162
Lads, how about a NUCLEAR POWERED WATCH?

>Mainly the tick tells you that the watch is probably battery powered. In the early days of experimenting with quartz, they were made with sweeping seconds hands, but it was found to drain the power too quickly, so one tick per second was settled on as the standard.
>b-but a car a-an electric car..

Too bad your stupid ass brain wasn’t born 100 years ago. Your unparalleled genius could have saved us millions in sweeping seconds.

This smooth moving quartz shit is literally stale bait from months (years?) ago. I'd find the old posts but I don't remember any of the exact wording which makes searching for it a bitch.

>>17933153
You need
1) Extremely small motor. it also has to be flat
2) This motor will most likely be a DC-powered motor. They are notoriously unstable when running at low speed, so you will also need a gear train. Given the fact that your motor will probably run at at least 1000 RPM and you need to drop it down to 1 RPM, you also have to shovel a gear train with 1:1000 ratio in there somehow
3) Continuosly running gear train requires more advanced materials and lubrication.
4) You can bypass some of this by using gearless PMSM, but they require complex control circuits.
>>17933157
Coils aren't steppers, they are completely different type of actuator. And no, running a brushless motor for literal years is not as energy efficient as passing current through a coil once per second.

Spring drive is probably the only way to put a true sweeping seconds hand into a wristwatch and it took decades to develop.

>>17933171
Where can you search the archives?

>>17933181
I shall cease the trolling. In my defense a discussion about the intricacies of quartz movements is better than the endless seething about avatarfags and such.

>>17933185
>discussion about the intricacies of quartz movements is better than the endless seething about avatarfags and such.
Fair enough. This is a BitterAnon thread though and one day avatarfags will learn it.

>>17933173
You can use the same trick ebike motor makers sometimes use to get away with direct drive bike motors, ie. just make a large diameter motor. Gets you loads of torque at decent speeds without needing a transmission. You could easily fit a 30 mm diameter motor into a watch and suddenly 60 rpm for that motor doesn't sound like an impossibility after all.

>>17933190
Yeah but you also need to shove in a quartz oscillator board, a driver board and a battery in there somehow.

>>17933190
>60 rpm
I would be ok with a faster running 'seconds' hand, like in some Zeniths.

>>17933192
Let Omega do it, they love fuckhuge cases.

>>17933190
>>17933192
Sounds like a job for Invicta desu. Invicta spring drive when?

>>17933192
Yeah and Citizen makes a 1mm solar quartz movement. The compactness issue is a completely solved problem already.

>>17933193
>60rpm
Whoops

>>17933200
I'm pretty sure they are using a regular old coil, in this case they can easily store energy in a flat capacitor. This won't work for a DC motor.

>>17932653
Cope, if you must, and you will.

>>17933065
Yessss I love the led watchs. Looks great anon. Enjoy your beer king.

I've actually seen a sweeping hands quartz wall clock recently IRL. I was kind of shocked

>>17933241
Some train station clocks can do it.

I miss him bros..

>>17932942
>tough solar
What did they mean by this?

>>17933162
No, but a wind turbine powered one is feasible I think

>>17933257
Tough as in long lasting. After some time in the dark it will stop the seconds hand and then stop the minute and hour hands as well while still keeping time. It's nice to see the hands start running around when you take it out of the drawer after some time.

>>17933257
It’s tough

>>17933262
That’s actually very cool. I have a Seiko solar watch but I don’t think it has that kind of functionality

>>17933246

>>17933273

>>17932889
Nobody here will listen. They're toilo hung up on specs and have n9 idea of what it takes to make an affordable watch that isn't completely asembled in china and is regulated when you buy it. Held one a while ago and it's fantastic. A unique design (with a nod to the past, sure) and properly finished for the pricepoint. Chinese brands are copying design, that should say enough. Let the people here buy their shitty ali trash, they won't enjoy anything nice anyway.

>>17933275
>soiko

>>17933270
Which one? I looked around a bit and some movements appear to have a power saving function.

>>17933275
Rolex for gentlemen, Cartier for ladies. Casio for children, Seiko for poors.

That should answer your question.

>>17933275
If you like it go for it. Be sure to try it out beforehand.

>>17933277
I think Meraud, another microshitter, just came out with an even cheaper copy of the old Bathyscaphe.

>>17933281
It’s a Seiko prospex solar diver’s

>>17933282

>>17933284

>>17932735
The first Seiko diver was too. Copying the Bathyscaphe is tradition.

>>17933276
post reichsmarks with buttplug and casio pls

>>17933275
I'd prefer a Willard.

>>17933292
best i can do is a stoya pocketpussy

>>17933296
that'll do

>>17933285
I found the manual, the only thing it has is that if the charge is low it will start moving the seconds hand at 2 second intervals.

>>17933291
So basically the only original divers are the Submariner and the Fifty Fathoms?

>>17933297
here you go fren

My 45 year old Type II does the same.

>>17933303
you're not cockwatch, but still, I approve this message

>>17933305
So if you copy a design and then tweak one or two minor details, it’s now a complete original?

blah blah blah don’t care what watch came first and what’s is supposed to be and what other cope your spewing out your diarrhea mouth yadda yadda yadda the watch you posted is a cheap disgusting phucker just like you and that’s the bottom line

>>17933311
It's not a copy anymore. It could be said it was inspired by it.

Post some watches, any watches, you faggots!

Grand Seiko (quartz) or all on Nazi silver?

>>17933314
I'm tired of avatarfags and seeing stock or chrono24 images so I'd rather just discuss watches like a civilized individual I am.

>>17933306
what can I say, its made out of a sticky material kek

>>17932889
never post again

>>17933241
Is your watch powered with double A batteries or plugged in AC, fucking smooth brain?

>>17933329
Could solar keep up with the power needs?

>>17933316
All right then, discuss watches, any watches.

Anyone know some small (32-36mm) dive watches from serious brands? (with good built quality and a decent movement?)

>>17933213
>puts quartz cartier in the midwit section
Nice one genius

>>17933342
>ignoring the GS
Yeah I took it from warosu, close enough.

>>17933300
There’s others like the PloProf, but that’s very odd. The Doxa SUB is also its own design. The Panerai is not really a diver in the modern sense.

But for the most part, yeah, divers on bracelets are Submariner homages, on straps, they are Fifty Fathoms homages.

>>17933300
The entire dive watch category is defined by very specific features that are required to qualify as certified dive watches, and many of those features are present in those two original modern dive watches. So they're inevitably all going to look very similar.

>>17933341
smallest GOOD dive watch you're getting is gonna be this. either that or a vintage watch or an homage/re-issue

>>17933351
There’s that, but also the expectation of the customer. Buyers will generally reject unusual designs so companies feel it’s safer to copy than to be creative.

>>17933065
So you post this shit on Reddit and then come here and do the same?

>>17933370

I don't even want the Rolex lmao, I like Baume&Mercier and Cartier better. But people only praise Rolex 90% of the time so it was an example

BTW I could afford something in the 500 eurobucks range right now, I just feel it would be a waste of money. So I was thinking about a Vostok or some cheap shitter. But your point probably makes more sense

>>17933374
Never seen the crown placed at the top like that.

>>17933381
Yeah, Rolex is just an example. If you want a Patek or a Panerai, the same principle applies.

Buying shitters hurts twice. First, after you realize you don’t actually like the watch and just bought it for consooom purposes; then when you try to sell it and realize you can’t get rid of it for more than pennies on the dollar.

>>17933382

>>17933382

>>17933384
Counterpoint: I wear my shitters more often than my "good" watches because if I'm just lounging around at home it's easier to just quickly do some chores or take a shower if I don't have a watch to think about damaging (I used to think I didn't care about that kind of stuff until one day I realized I hadn't started any intended cleaning because I was subconsciously annoyed at having to think about not damaging my watch)

>>17933388
Do you even need more than one shitter, though? Anon already has a bunch of them. Once you decide that you’re ready to step up into good watches, you should stop buying shitters.

>>17933393
We got another one, boys!

>>17933393
Cool! Which one?

>>17933395
no I guess not. well maybe one traditional shitter like a japanese mechanical diver, and one neo-shitter like >>17933394 or an apple watch. I keep looking at getting an apple watch

>>17933399
I think this is a smart approach.
A smartwatch, a shitter, then a really good watch.

>Behind the dial is the in-house Cartier Calibre 1847 MC. This automatic bidirectional self-winding movement’s name refers to the Maison’s founding year and is roughly based on the ETA 2892.

woooooo hooo hoooo

>>17933407
chronometer grade 2892 is objectively like 99% as good as 313x rolex movements in terms of accuracy and dependability, but i understand your complaint

>>17933407
That’s not accurate (no surprise, considering they’re watchbloggers)

The Cartier 049 was ETA based, but the 1847MC is made for Cartier by ValFleurier (Richemont’s movement factory.)
The new movement is designed to be a replacement in terms of size for the ETA.

it’s still a pretty crappy movement though, even if it’s not ETA-based.

>>17932735
I need this but in 38mm

>>17933363
My Mudman is also very accurate. Love this watch.

Who up closing deals? Loving the steel mesh on the breitling super ocean heritage with the santa bath robe this month dare I say TIMELESS

thoughts on these 34mm marathon field watches? They intrigue me but they seem a bit overpriced

>>17933428
Explain what closing deals involves. Does it require critical thinking?

>>17933436
I think its a bit pricey for a children watch.

>>17933438
Seeing as he’s wearing a Breitling unironically, deals probably means buying rare Funko Pops on eBay.

>>17933438

Basically you get money to pay people's hookers and hotels and shit and you hang out with them and sign some papers, it's free money for being a degenerate.

>>17933436

>>17933436
Don’t they only have like 30m WR?
I mean, it’s not a dive watch, you don’t need 300m, but 30m is dress watch territory.

If less than a thousand dollars wasted on something else is the difference between you getting a Rolex and not you might want to consider that you can't afford it even if you can save the money.

It always shocks me on leddit when people are selling their watch to pay vet bills, lost their job, etc telling me they had no emergency fund and wasted their money on a watch when they couldn't comfortably afford it

closing deals is an art form you go from not knowing anything about the person on the other side of the phone to getting them in a state where they feel like they need this product / service it is fun and when you are seasoned enough you will be the highest earner at any office (remote chad here) once you understand people actually are not buying a thing but buying a feeling the sky is the limit for what you can be paid to " work "

I was prepared to drop 20-30 on a ROlex but just could not find one new for sale anywhere in a 200 mile radius so I got 2 faggot brands instead the Breitling and Omega sorry for being a massive faggot anon you will be the first to see here when I do dial in the yachtmaster 2 or daydate I promise

>>17933140
They all have downsides so it's all about personal preference. The GW-M5610U is popular because it it has solar and atomic but some people upgrade to the GW-5000 because of the metal case and the standard square shape. The modules on the GW-B5600 and even the basic DW-5600 are better and you can get them with a metal case for anniversary models. Once you get to the GMW-B5000 you get one of their best modules and you can get it in titanium for the best both worlds. They are expensive which is their main downside.

>>17933519

What's the actual difference between the 5000 and 5610? The metal engraved caseback that is both harder to change the battery on and you won't look at anyway?

>>17933538
The screwed in case back is traditional. It does add to thickness and weight though. It’s pretty much just made for G Shock history buffs.

>Tough as in long lasting.
No, it's tough as in not fragile.
>The area required for the LCD, dial printing and other elements is calculated precisely to permit installation of a highly resilient film-like solar panel on the dial.
The term was created in a time when solar panels were weak and fragile. The technology is mature enough that solar powered watches (Casio, Citizen, Seiko) are virtually the same design.

>After some time in the dark it will stop the seconds hand
That's just PS (power save) and not unique to Casio.

>>17933554
I see, nice of you to clear that up.

>>17933551
what does this prove? drake owns like 5 pateks

>>17933554
> That's just PS (power save) and not unique to Casio.
I think Journe has a version that uses a rotor to determine when the watch is being worn versus sitting on the shelf.

>>17933538
>What's the actual difference between the 5000 and 5610?
The only thing that is the same is the module. The case is the same shape as the regular squares so you have more options for bezels. The strap and bezel are a softer material and the caseback is DLC coated and metal. The metal case is more durable for when you unscrew the bezel screws and change springbars. Some people like the light and plastic squares, some people like the weight and quality feel of metal cases. It's all about preference.

>The metal engraved caseback that is both harder to change the battery on and you won't look at anyway?
It is harder to change but it makes me horny to use all that pressure to open and tighten the caseback. Some also feel that screwbacks provide better water seal but that's not easy to test. I look at the caseback all the time because I like the design and I like the way it feels on the wrist.

>>17933413
what's wrong with ebay?

>>17933551
What percentage of Rolex owners own a yachtmaster, and what percentage of that percentage actually owns a yacht? And what percentage of that percentage actually races their yacht and uses the yacht timing functions?

>>17933565
the pateks signify he has made it, while the YACHT-MASTER II sadly does not carry that connotation.

>>17933581
I know a rolex owner who has a yacht but not a yachtmaster. His yacht has a wempe yacht clock on the "bridge" or whatever the fuck it's called. Poop deck? Mizzenmast? I'm not a boat autist so I can't say.

A match made in heaven, they're both dogshit.

>>17933618
Dont remember the dimensions, that orient is 44mm case though so its like 38-40mm or so. It's wears fine and is quite light and slim. I dont wear it much outside of more dressed up look because reading the time from it is somewhat guesswork (same with setting it). I got it 10 years ago probably because i really like the minimal look of them.

>>17933620

>>17933615
It bothers me how the aerospace’s bracelet has no safety clasp

>>17933628
It's a pretty sexy piece desu. Adding the markers would ruin the look which this watch is all about. Good choice if you do late night events or are the leader of a communist dictatorship.

>>17933643
Moser did it a lot better.

>>17933638
Why? I feel like some bands (like the orient) have too much safety stuff. The breitling band is pretty tight i cant really think of a time when it came undone.

>>17933643
>Adding the markers would ruin the look which this watch is all about
Oh definitely, just makes it less practical but like you said any kind of non day-to-day event where you dont really need to be looking at the time accurately its a great option.

I like the 12 marker on the Movado, i just wish it didnt have any text on the front, that's the main problem i have with the looks.

My only comparison are the ones in germany, from Berlin and Duesseldorf to Nürnberg, and this one is just 3 leagues above. I ordered a simple tonkotsu ramen with soft noodles, medium strong taste and little chicken oil, and it was simply amazing. I don't know, I guess even though I eat a lot of japanese food, I never actually had good jap food up until now. Ishihara being an exception.
And everything is so cheap here. I can't get used to it. It's like germany prices back in 2004

>>17933693
No, the Eichi II is platinum, his Credor is probably stainless steel.

>>17933693
No no mine is light, stainless steel.

>>17933699
It is. Steel instead of platinum, quartz instead of spring drive (quartz), brass ops line dial instead of hand enameled porcelain

>>17933700
>>17933701
So >>17933695 is right, it is a massive cope. How much did it cost, 500 dollars?

>>17933687
I guess Rolex is just Tudor.

>>17933705
>I wear g shocks everywhere

>>17933706
They are two separate companies owned by the same foundation. Credor is just a division of Seiko. Cope harder.

>>17933706
The irony is that if you could control yourself from bingeing on shitters you could have had a Rolex.

Can't stress enough how cool it was of them to let me hold the Eichi II.
They are very proud of it.
The first floor though is also full of high end pieces. They also really respect breguet there, it's the first watches you see when you enter from the right. Second floor is GS/Credor only. It's a huge building, they even got cakes and stuff.

>>17933712
Money and availability are part of the equation but Rolex doesn’t appeal to everyone.

>>17933716
Did they let you try it on? Or were they worried you ruin the strap with your greasy skin?

>>17933716
Holy fuck, $50k for that? Why?

>>17933706
This is why Lexus will never be seen as a premium brand by anyone. As well as that hyundai abortion, what is that, genesis?
While Bentley might be a part of VW today it was not created to be "premium" subbrand. It has it's own history.
This is why grand soiko and credor will never be premium watches. Because it is just seiko.

No, you just bought a watch worn predominantly by 40+ year olds. I bet Rolex client base is 99% 35 years and older

You can wear a Rolex at any age over 16. It’s just a watch.

>>17933725
>It’s hand made and finished to FPJ standards
why do people keep saying this? FPJ finishing was relentlessly mocked for over a decade and it is well known their quality varies widely from movement to movement. FPJ is not in the same league as Dufour, Greubel Forsey, Voutilainen, Lang & Heyne etc

>>17933764
Now how do you think that lines up by income, hmmm? Young people don’t usually have good paying jobs.

>>17933763
Exactly.
>"but I don't want a Role-"
>"hahah cope cope!!"

Well.

>>17933765
It looks out of place on a 16 year old. Usually you’d have to be 30+ to afford one on your own anyway

>>17933758
Its the same watch.

>>17933768
See? Coping. So you’re only going to reply to yourself and hope no one else notices.

>>17933767
Ofcourse it lines up, a 20 year old wearing a Rolex doesn’t make sense, right?

>>17933766
He meant dufour standards. The micro artist studio at Credor is Philippe Dufour approved. I think it's the only one in the world besides his, of course. So some peoppe say that, the credor masterpiece line, are the cheapest philippe dufour you can buy.
Don't know if I agree with that one. But the eichi II was a different watch than anything I had seen so far irl.

>>17933770
It’s not. The top one has the hand enameled dial. The bottom one is machine made

>>17933764
>I bet Rolex client base is 99% 35 years and older
Maybe it has something to do with it being so expensive only old people can afford it.

>>17933774
Well then the bottom one is better because no human can have the accuracy of a machine.

>>17933771
I have never samefagged and I never will. This will be my last reply to you, bitteranon. Gotta go back to the hotel now.
It's 4AM Here. see you around.

>>17933773
Never mind Dufour approved. Seiko paid him to set up the Micro Artist Studio. He trained the watchmakers there.

Of course they only put out a few hundred pieces per year. Not all Credors get that treatment The rest is cranked out on the same factory floor as a Seiko 5

>>17933775
Well yes, buying and wearing a Rolex usually means you’re somewhat accomplished and making good money and yes, that usually means you’re older, which is also why it looks out of place on young people, they just dont complete the picture

>>17933779
What happened here?
>>17933661
You were samefagging in this very thread

Avatarfags ruin every thread

>>17933781
To be honest, I think that's the case, really.
The Kuon for example, no matter how much they tried to talk it up to me and how it means the endless flow of time and the same guy who oversees and designed the eichi II is responsible for the kuon line and how it's porcelain dial--- it simply wasn't up to standard. Consider on it's slightly more expensive than my GS, I just couldn't see it. The eichi though, it clicked instantly, it's got that "aura" if you know what I mean.
I showed him this pic when I was comparing them and he simply replied with "Well you can't compare them, they are a different beast"
And he also told me that the Kuon was made so that other people can enjoy a taste of the Eichi II. Well you can fill in the rest of what that means.
The case of the kuon, he told me that they got new machines just for it and thay the cuts can not be replicated. It's the only watch line with that type of case.

>>17933785
He overpaid for a garbage watch and expects us to all start onions facing at his latest purchase. I guess he assumes we’re all weebs or something.

>>17933789
> And he also told me that the Kuon was made so that other people can enjoy a taste of the Eichi II. Well you can fill in the rest of what that means.

A simple quartz. It got the 8j81 0at0 movement. Never had a quartz so I thought why not.
I got the White Birch three weeks ago, I am thinking about the Kuon but I really believe that it's too expensive for what it is.
I will get it in a year or two at half the price, maybe.

>>17933797
What’s the model number, I mean.

I have a new diver watch itch. how's seiko's SPB143? is it worth the price tag? accepting other suggestions beside rolexes.

Hey brah. Still loving this piece. Think we need a measurement of its thinness.
I'm overworked myself, too much client bs near the end of the year so need to do some overtime. Gonna hit the whisky and educate the women of my life about Roman emperors.
Have a good one mate and don't let the bitter ones get to you.

>>17933797
No offense (you’re probably still going to get offended) but that thing looks very cheap. You should have continued to look for an Eichi instead of spending money for its own sake. You’ve bought like three watches in the past month.

Your mother doesn’t care about Ancient Rome, dude.

>>17933799
It's the Signo lineup but not 100% sure which model. I think the GCAR965

Eee some criticism of the bitteranons is valid and more often than not, if we say do some real talk with them, the conversation ends up pretty reasonable. But I think that sadly they are fishing for reactions.
Yeah, end of the year is always busu I guess. I hope that your holidays are great though. And yes I have to.measure it. Can't find many specs online.
I ended up at a bar again.... It's called "The Church" near shibuya.

縦 43.0 mm 横 37.0 mm 厚さ 6.9 mm

L to L, diameter and thickness.
wow it's 7mm? Feels much thinner.

>>17933814
I have enough money to buy a rolex. I just don't want to play the cuck game of having to buy other watches from the AD just to have the "privilege" to buy a Daytona. nor I want to pay a premium that's often 2x retail.

>>17933813
Yep. That’s the one.

>>17933818
FYI
37mm x 7mm x 43mm
30m WR
8J81 quartz, +/- 10 spy

>>17933804
You are mostly right, my plan is to save up all year and buy something very high end. If I control myself, I will be able to do so.
So far I regret buying two watches, the Homos and the Prospex. The rest I wear them and love them all.

>>17933825
""6.9""mm*

>>17933826
If you could control yourself, you’d still be married.
Just take a break and actually appreciate the watch instead of immediately buying another one. You get addicted to the shopping process like a woman.

>>17933824
>i don’t wanna play ad games that other sour grapes bitter anons have made up as an excuse to not have a rolex

>>17933830
I will try. I promise.

>>17933829
Hmm, for a quartz, I’d have expected it to be thinner.

>>17933832
Tried to buy a gold daydate, got told I could get put on a list due to high demand. meanwhile he also hinted that regular customers often get stuff sooner. fuck that.

>>17933818
Need to get some beer too. Don't really get the bitteranons desu, how can you be bitter about about an affordable Citizen Eco-Drive? I mean I know it is a luxury timepiece of course, but it is well within anyone's reach :)

>>17933822
That's pretty thin, not record breaking but well in the slick side of things, will look good with a suit or a formal shirt.

>>17933836
I really don't know if it's 7mm. I really did seem much thinner. I will take a few pics once I get back. I'm on the way.
