Does r9k like watches?
fucking kek i have this watch
some good simplistic watch for less than 50 bucks
what is the most accurate watch i can get for 30 USD or less?
What brands are best around 100-200 euro?
dis thing
r9k is a much better fit than fa
What do you people think about this one? It's by a guy I knew a while ago and I considered it while it was on kickstarter but didn't do it in the end.
Casio a158 is pretty much the best there is.
You could also look into the a164 if you want EL backlight.
looks too big
Casio, Citizen, Orient, Seiko
this desu
would love to see what true robots wear
I just ordered one of those 2 hours ago, What am I in for?
look like a full sized clock. Don't
That's gigantic, only people over 7 feet tall with thicc wrist could pull that off.
>What am I in for?
A solid timepiece that will last you a long time
i own the same watch
a true classic
i really like it
>be me
>few years back
>16
>starting a new school, after 3 months still no friends
>out of nowhere 8/10 korean chick messages me on facebook about class
>get talking
>end up becoming decent friends and being with each other every day at school and talking every night
>there for her every time she needs help with boy troubles or anything else, she called me at 2am with panic attacks sometimes
>one month has passed
>my 17th birthday
>bitch buys me a fuckign georgio armani watch
>knew she was loaded since I was her house before but holy shit
still have that watch to this day lads. barely wear it though because I don't wanna wear out the strap
a touching story my friend
You've just posted the best watch.
>Cheap as fuck
>Reliable
>Tough
>Simple set of functions and includes the date and an alarm function
The Casio is the fucking ak47 of watches. Everything else is basically the wrist equivalent of buying a "genuine katana" from japan for your SHTF MGTWO WROL apockalips fucking weabo autist fantasies.
>there for her EVERYTIME she needed help with a boy
he doesn't even realize it
Never would have thought r9k is this redpilled about watches
Fucking patricians each and every single one of you
I do realize it and it was always the same boy, she had a bf but it was an on/off thing
You voluntarily became a cuckold lol

>watchlets itt rating digital display
Disgusting
I have a Retro Casio remake and I love it...however, I could find the Casion Solar, so now I'll have to replace the batter eventually. Good watch overall
Post pics of it?
Would like to see how good of a remake it is.
supreme cringe, i hope you're joking user.
Tfw I've been considering getting this exact watch in either rose gold or regular gold.
Convince me bros
I use that as my weekend/beater watch.
I enjoy my Seiko or Columbian druglord watch for weekdays
>tfw smartwatch dweeb
Casio Databank posting.
I have this watch but broke it unfortunately
it's a women's model cuz the men's was too big lol
i hate those giant ass "men's" watches.
Pretty cute attaire/wrist, user
>tfw don't wear watches becuase they make my wrist sweat too much.
absolutely soiy
I have thin wrists.
Halloween soon. I am gonna start so many conversations with this little baby.
/fa/ is full of retards who think dressing in all black baggy clothes is the epitome of haut couture. I'd rather discuss watches here, or we should take back Jow Forums.
What happened to her man? Seems like you had something.
windy is that you?
Show us your fedoras.
where did you get it, how much did you pay?
I have a Seiko, it's nearly 7 years since I bought it.
neat, does it still work well?
thats some fuckin black magic bro
41yo kisses virgin here. I once hugged a girl but it was in a strip club. I asked her if she would tell me she cared about me, if she would say to me "I would be sad if you died" and it cost me $400 because she thought it was weird.
Worth it though, I think about that moment every night and it helps me fall asleep
at least shave your arms if you're gonna wear women's jewellery
Yes it still works well, in the center of the watch there is a small solar panel that charges the battery constantly when exposed to sunlight(artificial light too).
what do you all think of vincero watches i might get one when i go out clubbing
>t. jealous hairless underage boy
Soo
whats the point of wearing a watch anyway when you already carry a device for that
>whats the point of wearing a watch anyway when you already carry a device for that
OH HO HO HO!
WE HADNT THOUGHT OF THAT
CHECKMATE AHTEISTS
yeah i'm jealous of your ability to look as queer as possible
i knew you'd go up in flames like that because it is such an irrational thing to do you can only justify it by having a strong emotional response
>"You should shave."
>calls others queers.
WOW, KEK, YOU ARE SURE SHOWING ME, KIDDO
>i knew you'd go up in flames like that because it is such an irrational thing to do you can only justify it by having a strong emotional response
Don't say another Goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.
nice onions anthem to go with your wrist fedora
thx plox
This watch is utterly adorable.
>I asked her if she would tell me she cared about me, if she would say to me "I would be sad if you died" and it cost me $400
not bad, considering
Can I say that I own a Seiko if the watch is actually Seiko 5? Do true Seiko fans look down on Seiko 5?
True watch fans love the Seiko 5 line. It's a true automatic, tough and nice to look at. Anyone that denies this is a brand slut and only wears expensive brands for the status and bragging.
that is a bomb-ass watch
Second one from the left on top is my daily watch, good taste. Got nothing but compliments about it on how retro and unusual it looks.
I would have to agree desu
Love this channel, but I read somewhere that he's a lowkey asshole to other people online and that it's only a facade the way he presents himself on the channel.
Barry was /fa/ as fuck.
>quartz
Nice Chinese ebay pocket watch.
>Columbian
Why is it that you murrikan can't fucking spell the name of a country right?
The OG smartwatch.
How does this watch even work?
>watch video of watch working
>can't figure out how it works
Nigga I don't know if it's supposed to be magnetic or some other hidden mechanism, I ain't Swiss.
Best diver coming through
I want this one so fucking bad, but it's only available in online stores. My wrists is fat and I don't know if it will fit, the watch strap isn't adjustable so it's driving me crazy.
What model is the second Casio from the left
Not him but I have it too, it's the AE-1200WH.
Also the backlight is just regular LED, not EL.
in my country a178w costs as much as an a158 and i prefer a178w
it is like a158's manbrother
What watch does Ciara wear?
like this one, watches can be cool but their function is pointless, I just use my smartphone
it's not like a car or a computer that you actually need to use still, it's an autism hobby at this point.
Thank you for your opinion. I will give it the weight and consideration it deserves.
>a /wt/ I can't ruin by spamming BLACKED
I hate this.
Wristlet reporting in. Nice to be on r9k.
You know that's worth a 5$ piece of shit?

>yo wat kind of rolex u want senpai
>yo just gimme the most boring looking watch u got
>i gotchu
Tfw even R9k rejects me.
Excellent.
My Mudman's rubber strap ripped and I can't any find replacement straps that aren't over $50 and/or overseas.
those start out at $50k you retard. if you actually owned a patek, you wouldn't be browsing r9k.
You're here for life buddy.
Fucking delete this post right now you stupid cunt.
why dont we live underground
obviously has electricity as telly is on and has hot drink so must have kettle
I wish I could live in a hole underground
First watch I've bought as an adult, TBQH. Don't really care too much about getting another, but I've gotten comfortable with having one as an accessory.
Only reason I got one is because a 35-year old Indian businesswoman told me a watch would make me look more mature.
is that tudor fag spammer still around? if so then go back to /fa/
fake, no timestamp
Acceptibru?
Don't tell me where to go, and I'm not the one spamming, the people spamming are the people posting the same 5-10 Japanese shitters every day of the week.
