R8 my casios
Is that an aftermarket leather on the Amiga? Source if so?
Any good watch channels? I liked watchfinders and the couple of watch vids techmoan did
It is a £8 strap from a local, cheapo jewelers with the Omega clasp switched over. Looks fine to me though.
>Hey user nice Patek 5127G
>...Oh...Uh...Nevermind
>using reference number on a casual compliment
No one, ever.
OLD QUARTZ CASES
10/10
Anyone got any bagelsport recommendations/links lads?
Is this the ultimate Seiko?
This movement probably kept the Swiss up at night
Kashio gang
>The Seiko that was part of the start of bringing Swiss watch making to it's knees
THICC
Go back in time 4 years.
For mechanical watches, probably.
They are on ebay right now.
D-Do you have any rare Tristano's?
I found one of these by my mailbox, perfect condition. How much can I sell for?
Around 40 bucks
Why are these so popular? I mean, I bought one out of curiosity to see what it was like but that was for £20 and even that seemed a bit much for a watch with such lax QC. Spending 3 times as much for a joke seems a little excessive.
Not enough to afford a Seiko solar mate
Solarman is that you?
No, this is.
I'm just waiting for a solar model of grand seiko
Might get one just cause the name Steel Bagelsport is hilarious. Sounds like some sort of Jewish holocaust concentration camp pasttime sport
I take it you're not fans of the spring drive
While I appreciate the spring drive movement I'm a purest. I don't want any quartz in my watches.
Recommend me a
Casio ag 230
They became popular because they were $30, then the chinks jacked up the prices.
Where can I buy the Pulsar PW3001 within the EU? The sellers in Ireland just disappeared from eBay. The only place which still sells them are 2 US-based stores on Amazon, and they don't seem to ship to outside the US.
Any place in Japan would be fine too, just as long as I don't have to pay the high shipping prices from the US, if I can even find a place there that will ship outside the US.
Thoughts?
I was thinking on getting this, but it looks kind of childish on pictures.
yesterday an user posted this watch and I can't get it out of my head, I mean it's horrible value for money, but it looks so fun
forgot picture
Anything under $200 is going to look childish.
What should I use to open up my Poljot de luxe?
exacto knife or sorts, tape the damn blade first though.
Actually that colorway is limited edition so you won't be taking too much of a hit if you do.
Casio master race.
Yeah it's great.
>Amiga
??
>buy made in japan seiko
>the day display is in english and ARABIC
what the fuck man
It's so close yet so far. Needs something other than that powermatic80 movement, a screw down crown (and therefore more than 100m of WR), and at least some lume on the bezel.
You need a zero fucks given golden Casio there too brother.
That's because it is, it has a very distinct "my first grownup watch" feel to it.
Uhh, that's Wednesday in Japanese...
>ARABIC
Lol
yup, at it's current state it's worth a 1000 dollarydoos at max
Just have to be careful to not turn the crown at all or you might let some water in.
Are there any higher quality watches out there that have indicators on the crown to let you know when it screwed down all the way?
Like if it is screwed down you do not see any red at all and if it is not you do see red?
Well duh. But the made in japan seiko I bought has arabic, not japanese. Goatfucker runes ruin the whole watch.
>He fell for the J model meme
OMFG The rotor in the Rado logo actually turns. I'm sold.
youtube.com
Seiko manufactures watches that are intended for other global markets, ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING
Do I have shit taste? I really like this aesthetic.
Wew forgot I actually owned one of these.
I find the blue pretty gross desu especially the stitching.
Otherwise, it's fine.
Wanna sell it?
Why would you want this?
Casio's metal models aren't metal all the way through anymore.
I mean it's the definition of Swatch group mid-range ETA shitter, but I still want it. Will never be able to rationalize it and I'm not impulsive enough, if you get it please post pictures
Planning on buying this? Whatdayya rekon.
April fools was yesterday
There's one on eBay for £1500 but I'm not going to buy it as I'm saving for a Omega Railmaster for £3200.
there are 7 in fact
How do you like my NOMOS collection?
Wow, if you bought all seven you'd have 0.36% of all of these watches produced.
What's with people posting these gay rainbow straps is this a meme?
really makes you think...
it's O L Y M P I C S
omega thinks it's a good idea apparently
Did they hire a giant for the add or does the watch proportions look actually tasteful?
The lugs are too long still though.
It's to celebrate the opening of the gay pride festival
No it is the 35mm one. which lug to lug is about 44mm if I recall
No. It's literally just me posting them. I actually liek the look of this Olympic one.
This NATO is $180.
And for reference sorta this Luch is about 34.5mm diameter and a lug to lug of 42mm on my 6.5" wrist
That erotic lettering got me fired. Thanks asshole.
Can you elaborate?
The only good Nomos. Got the same one.
Do you approve of my Nomos on tactical NATO?
Nice.
Eggcellent!!
I'd add the club in there, at least it doesn't have flat, stick lugs.
