What do (you) think a Casio is?

[Anonymous No.17779492]

I'm suggesting if anyones in the market for a Economical Quality watch consider either Seiko or Citizen.

I've got one of pic related and the photo does it no justice. Looked at about 50 Tissots recently and man oh man I've never been so underwealmed by a Swiss watch in my life.

Every other big brand seems to be very overpriced bar 1-2 small brands that most people don't know atm imo.

And my gosh the "service" of Tissots resellers in my experiance yikes just yikes its like walking into a Rolex AD but with lower quality time pieces.

Proof body builders are faggots. People in this thread don't need to lift. If you're into watches, you're presumably rich, and if you're rich you're presumably intelligent and if you're intelligent you're naturally at least an 8/10 on attractiveness because nature uses beauty to exteriorly signal desirable traits. You're an ugly deformed gremlin working your body and aging it to extremes to make up for the lack of looks, skills and brains. That's why people like you are scum jamming objects up your ass for an unnatural activity that is causing your body to forcibly expell shit. I hope the pressure causes an colon blow out and you die.

OK, so lets say they average 200 bucks. 200 times 6 is 1200.

You could get a very decent watch for 1200 dollars. Or, if you wanted to save up a little longer, you could get some downright good watches for under 3k.
The new Longines Hydroconquest GMT, for example, is not oversized, not absurdly thick, looks good, is a true GMT, and is only 2.7k.

It's a nice collection anon. I'd like the bambino as well with the white dial and blue hands. It's a really nice dress watch but I have never gone to a formal event in my life and it feels a little too fancy for casual wear.

Very true, this is why I personally don't care about having a very high end watch. You have to insure it unless your retarded and ontop of this almost nobody knows the difference.

This one is quite underrated so it's one of the cheaper ones you can get used. You can get them on ebay for about $900 from Japan which is usually very reliable. It's a different beast in person depending on the lighting. The bezel has a polished finish so in low light like a bar or under streetlights it looks very dynamic and fluid while in bright light it looks gray and flat. Don't forget, same with the TVA with all the text, whenever you see them online it's a zoomed in photo. In real life the font or the dot pattern blend more into the watch at a short distance.

I'll freely admit to anyone that I've never owned a watch that costs more than a few thousand USD.

Literally the ONLY reason you'd buy this is if you wanted an AP but couldn't afford any of their good models. (Though, let's be honest, he bought it used.)

Even with the dogshit quality of Mort's picture, you can tell the finishing is crude. It's like you wanted a skeleton watch and ended up with something that looks like an Invicta.

Exactly, the general public only knows one brand which is Rolex if were talking about Luxury other than that its GShock which Im not a fan of. Apple Watch considered now is luxury watch too so there is only a small group of people who will and can appreciate the watch you are wearing. My idea about wearing watches now is the only man's jewelry/accessory so it has to blend and fit with your attire and thats one way looking unique without screaming like a douchebag.

How good is this kit? With the high price the potential is there but does it actually deliver similar attention to detail and quality? Also can you import it just fine or will it count as a fake? On the pictures you don't see the Casio logo but I imagine the actual case you get has it?

So inside a resin g shock is the watch core. That has a screw down back. You pop the full module into the new case and screw it in with the ones the arrows point to.

Anything from the 5600 or 5000 series will give you the most options if you are into modding. The 5600 series and 5000 are the same shape, the only oddball is the 5610 series because they have a smaller size and poorer symmetry. The 5610 is a very popular model so you will always find mod parts for it but it pales in comparison to the models and options for the standard 5600/5000 shape. In my opinion you can beat the metal case of a 5000 series for modding. The resin cases are much easier to damage when changing straps and bezels.

What do you like about the air kang? Some days I like it, some days I hate it. Kind of a weird watch.

Dubs don't lie.

For real, though, that Journe is nice. Like everyone else, I wish I'd bought one when you could get them for under 20k. Mort lucked out, there.

Hey

[Anonymous No.17781293]

What was your first "real" watch? I don't mean the first watch your purchased for yourself or you first foray into mechanical watches. But the one you actually saved up for and was a significant purchase. And if you haven't gotten one yet, what do you think that watch would be?

Speedmaster Pro. I bought it right out of college. I wore it for about 3 years straight then sold it once I got bored with it and realized there were much better watches out there. I still miss it every now and then, though.

people are doing this on purpose at this point right?

it's become a meme at this point to make your wrist look as gross as possible in wrist shots right?

what's your choice?
obviously would get it with the steel bracelet and then some extra leather straps and i like the indices over the roman numbers but between the white and red second it's hard to decide
