Why are you so airless?

I like small watches

>>18103480
cute yuffie

I was asked to attend a job interview as a technical consultant to the hiring manager. The candidate wore a t shirt that was even too small, weird rings and braceless and also a shiny big watch. He was talking big talk, referring to himself as an "entrepteneur" and his client portfolio includes rolex.

Wonder if the guy was on something because the flow of meaningless words could barely be stopped. Implied he knew everything and had no technical weaknesses

I then derailed his bullshit train with a couple of technical questions. His composure instantly changed (had been ignoring me so far during his bullshit presentation). Got really defensive even started self soothing actions like holding his forearm.

I am a really opposite of people person (i am the guy with the shit armani watch) so I didnt even try to make thing less awkward than they could be.

Man what a train wreck. I didnt even enjoy wrecking his shit. Could have done a lot worse if I wanted to.


I found the watch really triggering and the weird clothes and black plastic gaudi rings and too small shirt plus bullshit presentation of arrogance and ignorance.

General advice here in case you are reading this: try being honest and not arrogant. Dont insult the intelligence of the people across the table.

>>18103546
>giorgio armani 11
what do you think about the first "real" watch line by armani and what if he was wearing it.

I really hate how people cant see my watch when im wearing long sleeves. What are the best tricks or poses to make sure my watch is always front and center?

>>18103552
No he was wearing something bloated and overstated. Chronometer type of watch. Something shit. But hey my watch is shit too. But I found the combination of the entire scene triggering. Also I was on watch thread until 4 am so I was really low on bullshit tolerance.

Hiring manager was really glad I was there to derail this smoke and mirrors shit show. I could tell that he felt also something was not right but lacked the technical knowledge to be sure. I went reallg easy on him actually because I didnt want to make a scene but still I could tell that it was a lot for this queerbag to deal with.

What kind of imbecile write ENTREPRENEUR on his resume for a wagecuck job?

>>18103554
Move to a hot climate so you don't have to wear long sleeves. I always wondered why everyone in Florida wears watches, many really nice, probably because everyone can see them

>>18103554
Roll up your sleeves and be that guy

>>18103554
Wear it loose so it hangs below your sleeves like a nigger

>>18103557
>also wore a t shirt to the hiring meeting
what type of job is this? At the very least dont know why this fag didnt wear a shirt with a collar. How tf does he work with rolex

>>18103553
nothing wrong with any of those

>>18103576
I cant go into details but some random helpdesk job. Window washers qlso worked for rolex. Proper attire for this wage cuck position would have been something with long sleeves and a colar

Reminder to adjust your watch date tomorrow :)

>>18103546
>even started self soothing actions like holding his forearm.
Dodged a massive bullet there, imagine working for an autistic incel holy shit.

Still I think he will get the job against my better judgement. In fact it would be hilarious if he did. I cant wait to see this guy be exposed and get rekt really hard. I cant stand arrogant incompetent people.

>>18103584
Its called observing reality

>>18103580
t. Shitemont cuck

>>18103557
>On the watch thread till 4am
>Wears Armani watch

>>18103593
Yeah.

>>18103461
Fuck, I only have annual calendars. I have to change my watch every 4 years like a BARBARIAN.

>>18103583
I will gladly fiddle with the crown for a bit, just like i do every two weeks or so when i set the time.

i love touching my domed crystal

>>18103583
What did he mean by this?

>>18103602
I no longer wear it. It now disgusts me

>>18103554
When you sit down with your hands on the table your sleeves will probably roll back enough to see your watch.

>>18103480
wtf am i crazy these look better than rolex day dates or as good? The bracelets look very kino

>>18103583
Thank God I'm not a datecuck.

Does the Royal Oak have a day date variant?

>>18103583
When I set my watch today I set it for the 31st so it will roll into the 1st tonight.

>>18103622
It's just another royal oak cope.

>>18103625
There's one with a day and date subdials and a moonphase subdial. Just google image search it, it comes right uo, I'm bot posting it.

It's unbelievable how up his own fucking ass this dude is over his $2k quartz watch from a mall shitter company.

Went to the boutique to buy the hesalite speedmaster, unfortunately they didnt have any with bracelet. Guess im just ordering it from their site. I assume boutiques would typically have the standard bracelet size right?

>>18103622
looks like a seiko with some bolts on it
do richtards really?

>>18103626
>there are ruffians and rapscallions in this thread who UNIRONICALLY have to pop their crowns every other month throughout the year
Laughing my fucking LMAO off out out loud

>>18103632
Day and date in subdials isn't that legible and looks kinda cheap if i'm honest. They never made a date wheel/full day one?

I won't be adjusting my CasioOak tomorrow :)

thoughts on this vulva piece?

Ultimate proof that Rolexes are not an investment, the guy lost 35K selling 6 watches, as a (youtube)famous and favorite customer of these guys, with a perfect credit score and perfect purchase history:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R8Z816Q_Qo

You better off buying a cool Seiko or a NOMOS or something if you love horology than buying a Rolex that loses 5k as soon as you buy it.

just put sapphire on my SRPG

not really this watch is overpriced right now as it is

I'm not complaining but I want to know, what's the reason for the Arnold and Son price drop?

Last year, this Perpetual Moon used to sell for more than $12k.

>>18103908
it's worth $120.

Hey guys, I want to buy my dad a nice watch for his birthday. My family has always been pretty poor and he has always really liked watches but has never been able to afford any really nice ones apart from some vintage omega automatics. My brother and I are now making some money and we would like to do something special for him but don't really know much about the topic. Any recommendations on stylish fancy watches that don't break the bank? Hopefully something sub-1500 usd

You could find a Nomos on chrono24 within that. Directly from their site most of them will be over that though.

Looks like an ugly female watch.

>>18103940
take out a loan and buy him a daytona. once he croaks you'll get the watch back and you'll be able to sell it for a nice profit. its basically free money and karma

>>18103976
But if he isn't Indian the karma is irrelevant

i like what the seiko SRPG37 looks like but it's not really meant for swimming? all the dive watches i see look too big. i need something simple for camping where i dont have my phone turned on, swim a lot in lakes, and need to be able to tell time. but also would like something i just leave on every day.

Fwiw, I wear pocket watches regularly when I'm in 3-piece suits. I don't wear the protective chains, and though the pocket watches may end up on a desk as I'm working, they're not something that I bring out in company unless there is a true reason. Anyway, it is possible to wear them regularly and not be self-conscious, but I think the rest of the fashion ensemble will dictate applicability. I've carried the Waltham in my Levi's 'watch' pocket, but that experiment lasted about a day or so - I didn't like it. So, I wear them with the 3-piece suits only, and it works well with the company I keep. One of my colleagues carries a Patek minute repeater pocket watch...a lovely little thing, but he claimed that I 'inspired' him to feel comfortable carrying a pocket watch. He always wanted to, so he finally made the plunge after he saw me carry the Zenith. Mine still keeps better time.

>>18103718
Disagree; he simply sold them too late or too early.

>>18103883
I like him, because he's honest with what he does. I think he does the best he can with what he has, and in addition he takes significant risks. I admire that in people, as I am naturally averse to risk and have to kick myself to do so. His information on scents is particularly useful if you're a beginner.

>>18103940
I can't think of anything 'stylish fancy' that is sub-1500 that your father will respect. He'll appreciate the effort and love behind the gift, no matter what..but still. You have to go around 25-3500 in order to get something that he would respect. If he likes vintage Omega automatics, then get him a Constellation pie-pan in good condition. You could always try to find him a vintage polerouter. The problem is that no matter what you do with vintage, you have to have it serviced before delivering the watch to your father...it should at least be wearable and working. Good luck; it's a beautiful thought for your father, regardless.

broke the hardlex or just decided to change it?
thought I'll do the same to my cocktail time when I scratched the hardlex with a single deep scratch, but those high dome shits cost like 100$ so I kept it as it is and sold it recently

>>18104065
I can't, just like for AP in general

Imagine if seiko bought out Autist Piggie, lol, that would cause some nice seethe

>>18103883
He started making some alright informative videos in which you could see his preferences sneak through, like when he's recommend Ball watches because he liked the regional connection he has with the brand's history.
Now that he has professionalized a lot and runs a store, his channel is a bit of a content farm where the recommendations are not going to be as personnal from him since 1 he doesn't write everything himself anymore 2 he recommends the watches he sells 3 he sells the watches he recommend.
It's pretty clear though that all this lists and reviews and such are here to keep the ball rolling so he can produce factory tour videos or chats with big collectors. That's the stuff he really seems involved in compared to his fifth yearly "top 10 steel sports watches for every budget" video.
I remember him actually saying he'd like to talk about small brands and lesser known models more but these don't get enough views.
tl;dr : he went from a rando who made videos about watches he likes to a watch salesman

>>18104065
It's utter shit but how is that any different from the average 2020s "smart casual" luxury watch?
>gaudy

I mean, how can people shit on this and a moment later praise modern JLC or Omega? They're the same fucking watches.

This.
I wish I lived in Brazil in one of those gated communities surrounded by favelas. We need the poor close by to see us, but never be us, and we need the poor to be extremely poor.

I think I'll pivot to Omega for my first luxury watch from Rolex, granted I'll probably buy it in 1.5 years once I hit a landmark I care about

How much does that watch cost? Can you remove the glass mole?

I am a normal guy. Would it be outrageous to spend 50k on a watch?

Producer Michael just sold a Lange which he bought at $120k, got $80 for it.

Remember that you need a buyer to be able to sell this shit. Some pieces, even at very high prices, can be sold and you get your money back or profit. For example
>complicated Patek dress watches
>Nautilus and Aquanaut
>most Royal Oaks
>most Overseas
>Daytonas and some precious metal Rolexes

Most other stuff in this price range is unsalable. Because the audience is niche of niche. I'd stay the fuck away from that shit. If you must spend that kind of money, buy a solid gold Sub or a Panda Daytona. Or a Royal Oak or an Overseas.

Kofe time.

No date chads... We are winning today
Same with the annual calendar and perpetual calendar chads

I saw a removed post, bittercel is roaming about

>>18104186
This also applies somewhat to selling luxury cars

>>18103978
You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?

>>18104260
Is it really that big of a deal to set your watch every other month? If you rotate watches you'll probably have to wind and set a watch every time you start wearing it anyway.

>>18104260
This, time for the bimonthly humiliation ritual for brainlet poors.
How do you cope when even the F-91W has an annual calendar?
No wonder bittercel is absolutely FUMING kek.

No date Chads truly win again. Imagine your watch dial's symmetry ruined by a fucking date window at 3 o'clock lmao.

What more do you need in a watch? I get you’re still assmad about having blown your life’s savings on Rolex/Patek clone #10,042, but that’s no excuse to be rude.

>>18104267
>Imagine your watch dial's symmetry ruined by a fucking date window at 3 o'clock lmao.
Don't say that, you'll get overseethe anon out of hiding so he can explain that the 3 o'clock date window on the overseas is symmetrical because theres an index at 9

a women literally laughed at me because I forgot and she and her group of friends yelled "APRIL THE 31ST????" I was so embarrassed and probably red faced I started fumbling with he watch to fix it but then it slipped and I dropped it had to get on my knees to pick it up and the girl came over and kick me lightly and they all started madly laughing like a pack of heynas so I had to get off the bus 4 stops earlier and walk

Oh and an annual calendar minimum.

>he does not rate cylinder and detente escapement

I'm unironically tempted to buy this, I love the digital display it reminds me of a tamagotchi. I know its a girls model but its still cool.

Just to be clear, this guy wearing shorts in public is supposed to symbolise being an adult, yeah?

Have people ever noticed your watch?

>>18104306

I kind of wanted to hunt down some vintage Japanese watches. Vintage is always a pretty good pick for me I've found since I have skinny fucking wrists. Any favorites you have? Less is more as far as price goes but I'm not picky.

>>18104320

>>18104092
He was always a watch salesman. He always shilled for watches he was selling in his store using the same stock footage he shot nonths before and already featured in 12 other videos.

Isn't it funny how out of the hundreds of watches he's reviewed at every price poibt he's never even one time had a dog? They're always amazing in their own unique way or good for the price or yeah that one feature maybe kinda sucks but look at all the other cool stuff about it.

>>18104393

>>18104391
>muh swiss
I work for a company that literally assembles thousands of these movements a day. these so-called swiss-made ronda movements are barely made in Switzerland. "swiss-made" is a con that has been perpetuated by the major manufactures (they outwardly lie) and by the swiss government (passed legislation that reduces the requirements to be considered swiss and don't investigate breaches). Also, Ronda manufactures many movements outside of Switzerland and assembles them in Asia. It's all bullshit to justify a bunch of retarded wanna-bee watchmaking experts sense of entitlement despite being completely unable to even change a battery

So what is /wt/s final verdict on the Grand Seiko spring drive?
Is it a quartz or a mechanical watch?

>>18104405
>I work for a company that literally assembles thousands of these movements a day.
Sure you do, thanks for the cope & seethe tho. Have a nice day.

At least one of my watches with a date didnt need me to adjust it today.

>>18104411
>That bezel misalignment
How the hell do they get away with it?

>>18104406
My only opinion about spring drive is that if companies other than seiko were allowed to innovate on it they would be far more advanced with more complications and smaller sizes. Almost certainly cheaper, too.

>>18104410
>ignores every point made
Take the L, move on. Fucking idiot.

>>18104411
Has that had the movement replaced? I’ve heard they’ll swap the new super quartz movement into these from the Evo

It's up faggots!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIZLqWGQ3Ts

>>18104423
I honestly dont remember, its been a while since i had it serviced and dont remember where the paperwork went but most likely they did.

>watches are an investment
where are the cashflows then?

>>18104429
Yeah, at some point they stopped servicing the old movements and they’ll replace with the new one these days. The new movement will cost around 1000 bucks I think

>>18104426

>>18104439
>The new movement will cost around 1000 bucks I think
This was last serviced maybe 6-7 years ago. Was around $650 and they replaced the sapphire, couple hands, so maybe wasnt upgraded movement.

wtf do you so when the battery runs out
I don't want some lobster clawed fag to scratch all my shit replacing it

>>18104446
You have to change yourself. Honestly I am scared because if you touch the red spindle thing it is over forever goodbye watch.

>>18104446
You can just pop the back yourself and put in a new battery. If theyre dive watches you may want an all metal press and would want to replace O ring and probably take it to someone to test depth rating again. I dont bother with that typically.

>>18104447
You're talking about the coil and it wont break if you just touch it. It wont corrode either because it's coated for insulation. Very easy to fuck it up with a screwdriver or a blade though.

I like toying around with my watch. I don’t know why you cunts are all mad about changing dates.

>>18103940
>I want to buy my dad a nice watch for his birthday.
I wouldn't. The only way to be happy with a watch is to buy it IRL on the spot.

most of the reason i lurk these threads is for the monthly reminders to set the date

how does this compare to gs

>>18104465
Hmm, last time I did this I was unhappy with it and sold it within a year anyway.

>>18104436
you get the cashflow when you flip the watch
are growth stocks that dont pay out dividens not investments? what about zero-coupon bonds?

>>18104470
GS is a massive turd.

>>18104473
>growth stocks that don't pay dividends and are not expected in the foreseeable future
obviously they're speculatory by nature
>zero coupon
the cashflows is defined in the bond
the fact that it's at the end makes no difference

>>18104479
strange definition of investing
what about an accumulating index fund, is that an investment? the only cashflow you have here is from selling your shares

>>18104294
Only once and it was a cheap sub replica, didn't even say rolex but seiko lol but I don't go out often either

>>18104482
what about them
the cashflow is simply managed for you

>>18104473
almost every watch loses value over time, just like a car. Sure there are occasionally cars that do retain their value or increase in value eventually but we dont call cars an investment.

>>18104487

same reason why people talking about sex on 4chan always sound like idiots

>>18104482
just to reiterate
I am not saying theres anything wrong with stuff that has no cash flows or is never expected to distribute what it earns (if it even earns anything)
it's just not an "investment", I'm just being pedantic

>>18104469
most likely and more so if u buy it for someone else, it's just a personal thing u have to like in person enough to buy

>>18104509
how is a Rolex not an investment? you pay some amount X today and you are basically guaranteed a return upwards of 50% over the next 10 years

>>18104511
>it's just a personal thing u have to like in person enough to buy
What if you have seen them in person you just buy it online for whatever reason

>>18104442
I was actually thinking the hands are replaced. I have this exact same model and the hands curve upward and look pretty terrible otherwise too. I’ll have service it at some point

>>18104513
ye but only for urself

>>18104512
Only if you happen to manage to get a really desirable model under retail and manage to keep it in good condition without needing too much service. Which you're unlikely to be able to do if you haven't already invested a lot into buying jewelry and you have watch salesmen looking out for you and helping you get breaks on shit. It's kind of a rich get richer thing going on in buying and trading watches.

>>18104294
Yes, granted I mentioned his first.

>>18104306
Longines. Sinn. I strongly dislike them, but Nomos.

>>18104396
He was sucking off GS before he was ever selling them though. Same goes for other brands.

>>18104426
Way too much fluff. But also kinda based.

>>18104538
>I strongly dislike them, but Nomos.
why?

>>18104548
I defy you to scroll through the watches on their website without falling asleep.

>>18104548
Politics

>>18104554
I like the look of them, but i prefer more minimal designs in the first place. They seem like a nice dress watch.

>>18104560
>Cheap looking dials in obnoxious gay colors
>Comically long lugs
.... No? They're fine for casual wear if you're just milling about in a sweater or whatever(if you're a woman or gay man) but not as a dress watch. They're in a weird limbo where they're simple and polished enough to be elegant but at the same time they're oddly busy and loud and confused in their language. Even the black and white more traditional bauhaus models have something distracting about them.

>>18104548
They're just not to my tastes and also specifically are openly appealing to faggots and the like. But there's some I like and I have to admit they provide a decent value by my standards.

>>18104565
They have plenty of non vibrant options

>>18104566
>also specifically are openly appealing to faggots and the like
didnt know about this.

>>18104565
>>18104567
Ludwig and the Tangente in "platinum" (platinum colored steel) make good dress watches i think.
The trick is to chose a good size, because of the infamous lugs.
Only big wrists can handle their 38mm. I'd probably chose a 35mm tangente myself.

>>18104572
I think the Orion fits too

>>18104575
Yeah, that one too, tho it lacks identity for my tastes.

>>18104567
I know, but like I said look at the dial.
>Flat, dull
>big ole bubbly numerals mixed with big batons and big minute markers
>Unspeakably ugly lugs
>Case finishing looks aliexpress tier
Compare to other notable Bauhaus designs
>Rounded domed crystal gives depth to the watch
>Numerals and markers are small, uniform, easy to read, tasteful, they even have minute numerals to make it even easier to read and still not clutter it up
>Non-shit lugs
>Case has stepped andled cuts milled in to round it out, doesn't look like you just cut the middle out of a stack of silver dollars
I still wouldn't generally go for a watch with a printed dial for a dress watch, but if I did I'd pick something better than Nomos.

>>18104528
Ok can you find me some good $500 Rolexes from 20 years ago then.

>>18104085
hardlex got a couple scratches and it annoyed me enough
I paid 40 dollars on Crystaltimes for mine

>>18103754
and automatic transmissions are better than manual right?

>>18104589
In all likelihood they'll be worth about the same. Probably slightly less or more depending on condition and what specific model and release it is. You'll probably get your money back, sure, but there's no guarantee of profit because because for every $100k perfectly faded aluminum bezel vintage GMT Master there are a million unremarkable random datejusts with stretched bracelets and bad clasps.

Any of the speedmaster owners here wish you had gone with the other version (sapphire if you have hesalite or vice versa)?

>>18104567
bauhaus is extremely gay commie horseshit

>>18104599
Better analogue would be carburetor vs fuel injectors.

>>18104602
So you can't? Why write a wall of text instead of just saying that?

>>18104585
Not the same anon, but fyi, those tangente are inspired by an original Lange model, totally a respectable dress watch design.
That fact that NOMOS marketing today is appealing to gays and women doesn't remove the quality of this watch design, don't mix everything.

>>18104618
The point was that just because you have a 20 year old Rolex doesn't mean you have appreciated value. Unless there's something special about your particular watch you'll be lucky to get whatever they're charging for retail on that model today. There's no automatic 50% premium for random old shitters with hollow endlink bracelets.

Bro, do you even subdial?

>>18104623
I'd even argue that NOMOS refined this design by removing the minutes and the 6 hour that was clashing with the small seconds.

>>18104623
It was gay when Hitler invaded Poland and it's gay now.

>>18104623
Ok Nomos, hear me out.
Copy the Lange design except for the cut 6 o'clock marker, put a small baton there instead. Also cap the minute and seconds hands.
You're welcome.

>>18104631
Based quartz king.

>>18104599
I mean, they are in some ways.

>>18104625
tl;dr just link me to some $500 ones I can buy.

>>18104386
I struggled finding a decent buyer for my 7 series even

>>18104632
Nah, bro, you NEED to see them pinions.

I noticed there's a small defect in the lume on the hour hand of my newly bought watch. If you look closely, you can see a dark spot. Should I take it to the service center or something like that?

>>18104648
No.
They most likely won't do anything.
Or do service under warranty that takes 5 weeks and may not change the hands thus not solving the problem.

>>18104541
But, correct me if I'm wrong, he DOES sell them all now, right? Is that just a coincidence, or was he courting the brands?

>>18104654
Okay then. I'm just curious, what if it was a watch worth $10,000 or more? Like a Rolex or an Omega. Mine are just entry-level Swiss watches for $1,000.

>>18104664
Why would they do anything?

>>18104393
Unless his name is Rexhepi or Dufour no one cares.

>>18104642
Yeah it's competing with the Panamera and doesn't have the badge whore credibility of Porsche.

>>18104393
I know your mother and she said she should have swallowed you. Would you like me to elaborate?

>>18104664
It's a defect and on a brand new watch I'd want it fixed if it's worth a lot, in your case just try to get a discount on the price you paid and live with it

>>18104666
Don't know! Replace?
And How can I check it in advance? Take watches to a dark room?
It is just a darker area on the lume, like a little stripe, but still. Where is a SWISS QUALITY?

>>18104127
Are you indian? That sounds like you want to live in india

>>18104498
So christianity is 500 years old?

>>18104639
Nobody claimed anything like that retard

Perfection lays in simplicity.

>>18104688
You could kinda make that argument, yeah.

Some people recommended nomos. But why do they have miniature second pointers? I dont think I like that

Fuck, this retard woke up, time to close the tab.

>>18104585
This is a pretty nice looking watch. Id like to see it in person but if they can get the domed sapphire why doesnt the sapphire speedy have that

How about this, distinguished gentlemen?

Why would you get that when you could get the GOAT Brookville and save shitloads of money?

>>18104735
Yo, Vengeance! Nice watch.

>>18104736
this, id rather give my money to Mahk too

>>18103793
Sauce on that strap?

>>18104745
I think it's just the color of the leather, looks clean.

>>18104745
Hopefully not, I couldn't imagine trying to clean stains off of leather.

>>18104751
what stains

>>18104736
Snobs will complain like they always do but Mark is killing it with Islander

>>18104736
Is this the same watch?

>>18104762
You could argue it's better, actually.

>>18104763
Doesn't read TAG Heuer on the dial, so you're right.

>>18104753
He is giving people what they want.

>>18104745
It's just an AliExpress special, but it actually feels pretty decent, and smells nice too.

>>18104203
This seems like a good deal

I miss Omega drunk desu.

>>18104813
Bro any rolex with a gold bezel. Females will gaze towards the glimmer

Yes, No?

what are the odds my local boomer watch repair guy can do ultrasound cleaning and stuff on my 50 year old seiko?

he's the highest rated guy locally and he's a dirty old man so i presume he's the perfect man for the job, but i want my japanese estate sale watch to run great and look semi decent

>>18104839
looks like a boomer watch

>>18104840
I can sell you mine for half that.

>>18104854
How accurate are these?

>>18104856
right twice a day

>>18104856
Mine is about +16 or +18 seconds per day.

>>18103480
based. the bigger the watch the more anti-reddit it is

>>18104864
Practically that means i set it a minute ahead of time and by the end of the week it'll be a a minute over, so i have to set it once a week for it never be more than a minute off eitter way. I never need to tell the time more accurately than that.

>>18104867
I do the same with my Weekdater, only it takes about two weeks for it drift that much. I'm fine with that.

>>18103553
God that RO knockoff IWC is fucking heinous who would buy that

NEW THREAD WHEN???
AAAAAGH

>>18104172
Lange is trying to be part of the unavailable steel watch circle to create hype so they are purposely underproducing the odysseus by a crazy amount as well as controlling all sales points.
Only way to get it is through the grey market and they go for a lot more there.

>>18104903
Nice conspiracy theory but Lange only makes in the neighborhood of 5000 watches a year total compared to Patek and AP at ~50k.

all metal casioak inc tomorrow

ppl want ugly bland dials with unusable chink bracelet ?

>>18104980
Shouldn't the colors be switched around the opposite way on the bezel? I'd think green would mean you have a lot of time left and red would mean you're running out of time.

>>18104980
it's white to remind shit skins what they are not lol

>>18104988
Their dials aren't bespoke hand made pieces or anything but they're usually pretty good. Barring some questionable color choices sometimes.

>>18104989
it's the indian flag

>>18104637
sure, but the reasons that car enthusiasts like manuals even though they're technically not as good as an automatic in some ways is the same reasons watch people enjoy lever escapement spring driven watchmaking

>>18103553
1st line: JLC
2nd line: JLC
3rd line: IWC
4rd line: B&M

>>18104994
It could have been a count down bezel and still been in the right order.

>>18104660
I think he still isn't an ad for all the brands he talks about. But Grand Seiko very recently started endorsing his store pretty sure.

>>18105009
I think the only brands he shills for that he doesn't sell are smaller brands that wouldn't have or need outside dealers.

>>18104993
it's literally just chink shit

>>18104999
How does a count down bezel even work?

>>18105018
oh, so no worse than anything swatch then?

>>18105020
You point the minute hand to the amount of time you want and your time is up when the minute hand gets to the 0 pip. It's just the opposite of the normal timing bezel.

>>18105020
Every company other than Rolex and Seiko that doesn't do some actual artisinal guilloche enameling type shit with their dials probably orders them from China. Even seiko has a lot of their shit produced in china.

is there a practical reason for this being red?

It has nothing to do with diving, ot's purely a design choice, this is not meant for diving. Come on, this is trivial, let's stop pretending, 99% of watches look the way they do to look good, not to function well.

>>18104989
It doesn't have a screwdown crown is my guess so it really isn't a dive watch DESU
