Threadsplitting is when some autist makes a new thread after another new thread is made, this is just the regular new thread. The fact that you were not the op of this thread doesn't make it illegitimate.

This would get more attention than 90% of the regular watches seen i these threads.
10/10, would gladly have an autistic conversation about it on a party.

Haha, yep, a can't even argue against that.
When i got it i had no idea what i was doing. The dial reflection got me interested in it. After getting a bit more knowledge and developing a more specific taste i understood that it's badly proportioned and oversized. But it grew on me and i accepted it's uglyness.

Do not worry my brother. God works in mysterious ways and so it happened that he chose a cheaper watch that was approved by one of gods closest allies, the vicar of christ, the pope himself.

Based. Yeah, the oldtimer had some trouble seeing casios smaller numbers as he got older.
At least that is what was written.
But i would bet that the mountain jews just got their grubby hands on the pope and somehow convinced him to wear swatch. Based japs didn't even try to buy him back, because that would be very disrispectful towards the pope.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 27 06:40:44 2019 No.14047051 >>14047039 Are the numbers that much bigger? The watch is only 34mm.

>>14047051
Good question, i just read that the casio is 35 mm dial diameter. The only difference then is that the swatches numbers are thicker. This would only confirm my theory that swatch convinced the pope to switch.
Also, he could read the casio easily but all of a sudden, after about 3 years his eyes got so bad that he couldn't see the damn thing....eyes get worse but usually not that bad.

Look you contemptible pissreek faggot, just because the other autistic smear of shit keeps making threads early doesn't mean you and him have to duke it out to become king cock. You start threads early on a slow board just to be OP for the next half week you are as responsible for filling up the board with watch threads same as the faggot that threadsplits. Except he's not using you as an excuse as to why there's actually nothing wrong with him behaving in a spectacularly autistic and obnoxious manner. You pissbottlers should just cut to the chase and get each others' details so you can mutually masturbate over webcam.

>>14049224
Watches used to be very exclusive back in the day, this was negated first by making mechanical watches mass produced relatively cheaply and later by the advent of quartz watches and seeing them produced even more cheaper. Watchfags have always wanted exclusive pieces made with labor intensive methods to stand out of the crowd, which is why modern high end makers cater to them and why it is a watch brands dream to be high end.
Those who just want to tell the time do not have a need for "effay" design that much and if they do they will just buy a fashion shitter.

Fair enough, saw this one for £400, says it's been serviced, just needs to be put for a clean, seems like it's pretty poor condition though, but is from the 50s.

Just so I understand.. What is your goal here?

Do you love pure vintage watches?
Do you love the premium branding and will tolerate the vintage aspect to get within your price bracket?
Do you not like modern vintage looking watches from brands like tissot/longines etc?
Is quartz out of the question?

I fucking love vintage pieces.

For me it's premium brands only, I only wear luxury timepieces.

I don't wear shitters.

Other reply wasn't me, but definitely into th idea of a vintage watch, and also helps me fit my budget, already have a quartz watch that I really like so was looking for probably an automatic now, premium branding would definitely be a plus for me, but obviously not solely focused on that

no annoying beep when pressing buttons
separate button for light
has all the essential functions
dial does not have too many colors and is colored metallic
looks nice

negatives are:
backlight is shit (a regular bulb so it's as shit as all others from that period)
mineral crystal (again all others had either mineral or plastic)

At least with my team, I'm looking for the following when I interview entry (mostly PhD, some masters) candidates fresh out of school:
* Can they communicate effectively, including both very technically as well as in more layman's terms (can I put this person in front of another quant, as well as in front of a marketer or client)?
* Can they write working code for small programming exercises (for example, a prime number sieve)? Can they identify useful boundary test cases to check that the code they wrote works? Can they analyze a program's time and space complexity and find ways to make it better?
* Can they do math? Usually we test linear algebra and differential equations, since most quantitative majors have these in their background, but it depends on the candidate's areas of focus - if they've studied number fields, for example, we can test that instead. The goal isn't specifically to evaluate if the candidate remembers all their linear algebra, but to evaluate their abstract thinking and problem solving.

I'm looking into buying some NATO straps, but I want to know what's the difference between a high quality and low quality strap, and where can I get high quality ones in Australia?

* Do they understand probability? Can they do simple problems involving Bayesian statistics? Do they understand basic stochastic calculus? Can they talk about the properties of things like normal, lognormal, poisson, etc. distributions and how they relate to thinks like Brownian motion and jump-diffusion processes? Usually these are the most in-depth problem solving questions - we care that the candidate has a deep, fundamental understanding of these. If you've memorized the formula for the moment generating function of lognormal distribution but can't prove/derive it, no points.
* Do they have a basic knowledge of quantitative finance? Can they price simple derivatives, explain arbitrage free pricing, explain how and why risk-neutral measures simplify pricing, etc.? Can they identify the main driving risks of various products? Hull's book is pretty standard here and if a candidate had an understanding of of everything in that book they'd probably do fine.
* We really don't ask many brainteasers (how many barbers in NYC, why are manhole covers round, etc) or fit questions (greatest strength, etc). We do tend to try to determine whether a candidate actually wants to do the job but that's about it as far as fit is concerned.
I'm around and always happy to answer questions about the field. Good luck anon.

more breathable, doesn't lift the watch as much, less annoying to put on, doesn't look retarded because you don't have all this extra strap you have to fold over and tuck in, drys faster. I only throw a watch on the eulit when there is a good chance im doing something that could break a spring bar.

I've bought a few from this guy in Switzerland, I think postage costs 11 Swiss Francs on top of whatever the straps cost. It'll cost more than some no name Chinese stuff, but Eulit straps are well worth the extra in my opinion.

Go to law school at the one of the top 14 schools in the country, assuming you're American. The top 14 are the feeder schools for biglaw corporate firms in NYC, DC, Chicago and LA. Work hard, get a high GPA and get a job there.
First year associates make 160K starting and the pay usually goes up 5-10k a year with 20k bonuses depending on you billable hours worked.

Let's rephrase your question, what's more sought after, the original or the homage? It's a no brainer really. The homage is a cheap cash grab from Seiko, they couldn't even be bothered to find a half suitable replacement movement and for some reason they added a date, and they've released several variations of colourways because they know collectors will buy it.

The date window is complete shit. It would have been waaaaay better to add it at 4:30 or 6 o'clock.

It's especially insulting that pretty much every other Seiko chronograph using the same 7T12 movement has the date window at 4:30.

They just shouldn't have had one, it ruins the fairly minimal look of the original. At least the 3 o'clock placement kinda matches the 7a38 which was the next iteration of the 7a28.

I was showing my wife pictures of different watches I have been considering and showed her a Rolex Submariner, Tudor Black Bay and an Omega Speedmaster MOTPM.
She didn't really like the Tudor which is hilarious because it's a meme ever since that Teddy Bulbasaur episode where his gf didn't like his Tudors. She said the Sub "just looked better".
The interesting thing was that she absolutely loved the Speedy MOTPM and said she liked it a lot and wanted me to get one.

Get the fuck in.
It was listed as not working but a new battery was all it needed. It's not all great news though, the crystal has got one fairly hefty scratch and the caseback is tension fitted rather than screw down. But this module is pretty unique, all the modes are simultaneously displayed and the running man and alarm icon both animate when the chronograph or alarm are activated. I'll post a webm. Now I just need to clean all the old sweat gunk and replace the pusher gaskets.

It is technically, of course. But it's a highly liquid appreciating asset.
One that I bought under market price by a very wide margin, no less. And it's a 60% writeoff.

So calling it debt is like saying those micro tears you get in your muscles from lifting properly are "muscle damage": technically true but very misleading since you're actually building the muscle.

Lol it actually came with an awful knock-off Rolex jubilee bracelet. I put it on the Casio one as it’s the closest thing I had laying around. It works quite well and I’m hoping the buyer doesn’t notice lol.
Lots of watchers but they’ve been there since the first couple of days and only had two offers (one was £200)...

Oh, that's even worse then! You should think about maybe adding a better shot of the case back, I was crazy autistic when buying my King Quartz and not being 100% certain about anything on a penis quartz put me off.

New acquisition/restoration project. Traded it with a hoarded buddy. Didn't want to give it up easy, gave him a Cosmotron and an automatic 70's Roamer for it, both serviced, BUT.

This is a 6309 that DOESN'T have it's barrel-arbor bearings shot. Getting a 6309 online is a gamble, since you don't know till you get it whether you'll get a decent amplitude out of it, or if its mainspring barrel is scraping against the plates because the bearings are completely fucked. So I traded two watches I wasn't able to sell yet (the Roamer had some dial damage, and Cosmotrons are still very underrated) for a piece I'll likely wear after restoration. I'm fine with that.

You can't really see it from the pic, but it has a pretty nice subtle vertical-brushed anthracite dial.

And done. I don't think I've ever serviced the basic-bitch Orient 46943 before. Now that I've done it, here's my review:
Bad parts:
>cost-cutting and corner cutting everywhere (see below)
>screws are threaded all the way, they don't have an unthreaded tip that would make disassembly and reassembly easier
>completely unfinished
>Diafix sucks
>old-style Diashock sucks
Meh parts:
>the keyless work is probably completely lifted from the Seiko 7009, replaced by the 7S26 in 1996
Good parts:
>only three-four kinds of screws (not counting unique screws like crown-wheel, ratchet wheel, etc.)
>sane, easy to understand design, low part county
>all in all works well

Normal ball bearings but it's on the auto winding plate, like say a Seiko 6106.

>>14059212
So? It's still a minus, though of course it doesn't really matter if it doesn't have a display caseback.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 31 13:44:52 2019 No.14059453 >>14059194 I wouldn't be too sure on the crystal, NOS can be notoriously expensive if stocks are low and that crystal will also require a new crystal gasket, again NOS can be a bitch to find for cheap.
