>>17409818
What we see as colors is light being reflected off of a surface.
You see blue when red and green are being absorbed by a surface, but not blue.
Technically black is the absence of color.
That is to say, all colors are being absorbed and not being reflected.
White is an equal balance of all colors being reflected.
Black is when light isn't being reflected, but rather absorbed by a surface.
This is why black objects heat up faster than white objects.
I don't mean to sound petty or pedantic, but this is relevant.

When going to the sea with a diver, after use should you rinse the watch in fresh water? I had a g-shock that I used to swim with and the springbars got rusty and broke. Everything else was fine. Now I wanna get a Basedko Turtle and i’m afraid of the same problem. I didn’t go diving or snorkeling, just swimming in the sea and then back to some tanning, sea again and so on for a week while I was on vacation.

Asking again

I want to get my dad a watch for christmas/his birthday in january, he's pretty into watches and has a fair few. The most recent watch he was quite interested in was the Moonswatch, which I convinced him not to buy since I thought it felt cheap. Is there something similar in the same price range that I could get him, or better?

What's the deal with Kuoe watches? Are they real? Is it some weird fakery? I keep getting adverts for them online but they seem a bit too cheap to be truly “made in Nippon”.

List the watches he owns so we can get a better picture of what he might like. Also you generally don't want to buy a watch for somebody, you're very likely to miss and it would be better to just ask them about the watch they would like or alternatively give them money or a coupon so they can choose the watch themselves.

>If I buy a 40 year old mechanical watch that has never been used (new old stock) and never been serviced, is there any danger in using it without bringing it to a watchmaker first for a full service?
The serious answer is maybe. If the lubricating oils dried up then it's not unlike running a car without oil. It will run, but you'll put excess wear on the mechanism and eventually something will fail.

Modern oils are much more stable and don't dry out as quickly but older ones weren't as stable.

It should work without a hitch. It might need some time, a week or two, to 'break in', to spread all the oils around (if they haven't evaporated and gummed up yet) so you might experience some greater time variation, but it should work.

Longines Legend Diver. Modern version originally released as a limited mostly faithful reissue (same size same features except sapphire glass). Was big, and wore bigger. Later issued as a production model with a date window which was popular but less of a cult following. Finally issued as a 36mm "women's" model which wears bigger than its case size and is increasingly popular as oversize watches are becoming déclassé

Has tended to be sold with a booklet in the box featuring charles lindbergh, a well known nazi. Since it's an older model it hasn't enjoyed the denazification that most of the longines catalog has undergone

>That moonphase complication on the left is kino
That's a day-night indicator. JLC had a little fun with it by making the ends of the indicator hand be a sun and moon.

It's a hometime watch. The watch has a second hour hand for traveling (picrel). When you're traveling, you can pop the main hour hand forward and back like a GMT watch. The second hour hand will always point at the home/reference time and day-night lets you know if it's AM or PM back home.
When you're back home, the second hour hand is invisibly tucked under the main hour hand.

That's ok. You don't have to like it. JLC does things its own way. The watch world is more fun when not everyone just slavishly copying Rolex.

It's not that, it's about the gays coming up to you. I had a Santos in 2000 and all was well. By 2010 I had guys flirting with me. One guy asked why I'm wearing Cartier if I'm not gay. The gays get some kind of memo on gay brands and somehow Cartier got on the list. Being secure in your masculinity is one thing, being chatted-up by overtly friendly guys is a waste of time, at a minimum. I find the attention annoying, so I don't wear it anymore. Now I know why I hate faggots.

I don't even think the Apple Watch qualifies as a watch. It is so faggy, such a trendy piece of nonsense that I can't help but disregard anyone wearing one. And that's a lot of people.
