This may sound ridiculous but desperate times call for desperate measures. I've been trying to get a new Batgirl (126710BLNR) from a local AD and have no purchase history. know this can take months but most likely years in my case. I really don't want to wait that long and don't want to buy watchesI don't want/need to get higher up on some list.

I've been researching some of the reps (guys) on IG and see that frequent a popular gay club around town. I'm happily married but hear me out. Should try to frequent this club, run into them, and really build a close relationship with them? don't mind doing this and think it could potentially work. I'm assuming they'd be more likely to help someone they're close with. If this could save me years then it could be worth it.

Has anyone else done this? Should do it? My wife doesn't care. I don't mind and might enjoy it and may end up making a good friend in the process. TL;DR; Multiple reps at a local AD frequent a gay club and l'm wondering if should start going to hopefully run into them, build a bond, and get their help to get my grail.

Brilliant watch.
Wears larger than it is.
As with all Casios, I hate the straps.
The CA-53 takes 20mm straps, though the clearance for the straps is minimal.
If you get a replacement strap, try to find one that's 1mm if possible.
I think a 1.2mm might work, though you'd likely have to compress the strap a bit.
Might bend the pins.
Watch Gecko has several strap options that are 1mm.
And they do fit the clearances of all Casios (get the correct lug size, though).

Is it better to have a rotation of cheaper watches or one holy grail (relative to my purchasing power) watch?

[Anonymous No.17357417]

Help me out fellas, I need a sports watch. One that can function as a stopwatch and also sound an alarm after a set countdown, but one that just sounds briefly, like a beep or two then done without having to manually disable the alarm.
Ideally one that could be set to sound briefly and repeatedly every minute, or every two minutes etc without having to reset the timer every time. Heartrate monitor would be nice. I don't want any smart shit that has to connect to apps or devices or the internet.

I know fuck all about watches but I imagine that these features must exist, I just don't know where to look. The few I've looked at just say stopwatch with no mention of countdown alarms, alarm sound duration or repeated alarms.

I don't really care about looks, I'm more interested in function but it would be nice for it to not look retarded, I'll get a dress watch later for looks but this one is just for fitness. Budget doesn't matter, I'm prepared to pay for quality and want something that will last but not looking for some meme high price status symbol.

Any suggestions? Or somewhere to look at least. Thanks in advance

kek. The term is smartwatch. unless you are looking for a being able to tell the time and maybe an alarm once a day or a stopwatch, you are looking for a smartwatch.

I have a Timex Ironman that has interval timers with short alarms that don't need to be disabled, very useful when I used to do sprint and tempo training where I'd have it alternate beeping every minute and every 30 seconds. No heart rate though.

I guess what I meant is that most watches posted here are mechanical watches, you'll probably find a lot of Casio with auto repeating alarms, but I don't think you'll find a lot of different watches with both that and a heart rate monitor. And if you also want it to then look like a steel sports watch you'll find mostly smartwatches.

My basic 30 lap has a countdown timer with the option to repeat at the end. So if you wanted to set a 2 minute it'd just beep every 2 minutes.

There are more advanced ones that let you do intervals

If I spent less money on a “nicer” watch like the Hamilton. The Hamilton on sale is a stupid deal. Like I’d be buying a watch I can’t afford just because of the sale and I do like it a lot.

You're not fooling anyone Jezza.

Btw, to my knowledge, the fastest tourbillon out there is the 24 seconds Tourbillon from Greubel Forsey. As its name indicates, it makes a full revolution every 24 seconds. It totals 3,600 revolutions per day, which is a lot given that most tourbillons go at 1,440 revs per day. Here is an example:

Yes, but most likely you would end up stressing the whole thing and fucking it. Remember that inside the tourbillon's cage there is still a spring that must oscillate and a constat from 21,800 to 36,000 vph and needs to withstand the centrifugal force of your hyper speed tourbillon.

I meant 21,600 vph
Sorry for that

If Zenith can do a 360000vph balance work i'm sure you can make a 60rpm tourbillon.

yeah, there’s a reason why even modern nautiluses and overseas don’t have hacking seconds, because no one who owns those watches needs it

You could call it the Turbollon.

THAT'S RIGHT, PHUCKERS
THAT POOR BITCH ASS BALANCE SPRING IS GOING AT THE EQUIVALENT OF 100 SPINS PER SECOND
YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR IT SCREAM
IT GOES SO FAST IT ACTUALLY GATHERS GRAVITY AND TRANSFORMS INTO A MINI BLACK HOLE
DARE TO LOOSE YOUR ARM TO HIGH ACCURACY!!!

Yep it's a watch. Probably some datejust with a fluted bezel but it's impossible to tell with such a shit low res image.

That watch is used to compute latitude/longitude in navigation. The 15 represents the 15 degrees in 1 hour of the earths rotation. Not hours in a day. Link is to an explanation of this wonderfully weird piece of history.
Also, the giant size has a purpose. Ease of legibility in a rickity old 1920 airplane that's vibrating and bouncing around, as well as being able to use it with gloved hands.

Richard Mille can make a Bugatti engine watch, they have to be able to give horsepower.

If my watch can't even push a mouse car to victory what good is it?

do you guys have any experience with buying watches from online auction sites? are they usually damaged or in a good condition?

Facts. But imagine this… Imagine someone out there knew this kind of watch pretty well… Then they might be able to tell, even from this picture

No, fuck off with your shitty low res images. With such poor level of detail it doesn't matter if you get the most autistic WIS in the world looking at it, you're just going to get a vague guess at best.

Aliexpress is salling fake or knockoff €15 Osama Casios for €10. My head hurts and my heart aches for the amount of industrial prowess being wasted to create an even cheaper copy of a cheap product.
