wrist check sun april 8th
What good solid yellow gold watch to buy?
OP
bro get a new photo jesus
still lurking ebay for a good deal on this
Next thread, I swear.
Wow Orient finally got their heads out of their asses and made a decent looking Bambino-
>40.5mm
Never mind
>being this much of a wristlet
Lol
>having this much shit taste in watches
Sadly that is just what is selling I suppose. At least some of their Orient Star line is 38mm if I recall correctly.
Whatever little timmy.
Come back once you can wear something bigger than an F91.
Whatever you say you tremendous plebeian.
I think I might've had this exact watch back in the early 90s.
Or at least one that looked like it I guess.
There there now, have a lollipop kiddo
>that date window
jesus christ. so close yet so fucking far
I'm not interested in buying one for myself, I was just looking. It's supposed to be a dress watch, not a dinner plate.
>muh tiny woman-sized watches make me le classy gentleman
wristlets, not even once
This desu.
l[spoiler]o[/spoiler]l
whatever you say wristlet
So I've never opened up any of my watches except for f91w but I want to clean my slavshit cause there's some dust under the crystal. Do I need any tools? I need to remove the crown to pull the movement out, right? How should I go about that?
Good luck, user. You'll find one.
dave? is that you?
So this is how the nuveau riche show themselves. What an ugly sight.
are these available to purchase yet damn
How many transvestite hookers did this guy murder I wonder.
The only 40mm dress watch meme I fell for was the cocktail.
>if you don't have babby wrists like me and wear woman-sized watches that I imagine make me look classy and refined then you wear dumb invictas!!!
Lmaoing at all the wristlet cope ITT
Wearing a tiny dress watch is pretty much the 2018 equivalent of a fedora.
Make dealings with this
And even while it is comfy and nice I do prefer something more like 34mm
>that wrist
LOOOOL
Are you literally 15
>From the Michael J Fox collection
>the classic "everything I don't like is le fedora"
Yeah, I've heard the same thing from brainlets who use their phone to check the time, "using watches in le current year is le fedora, why use them when you have a phone". Let me tell you the shit that came out of you brainlets is the same shit.
Sorry I don't get pop culture celebrity references please explain?
Looks normal, stop shitting up the thread
Are you american?
Don't be faggots. Some of the very nicest Swiss watches are 40 mm nowadays.
Get with the times.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the times are shit.
i apologise user. I'm sure you only wear the finest of """pieces"""
Point in case.
Stop responding you fools.
If you were really to "get with the times" the "nice swiss watch" is dead in the wake of a radio controlled Casio.
Doesn't mean it's good. I'm a lot more comfortable with 36mm than 42mm.
>current year argument
I mean COME ON
>Get with the times.
*buys some 42mm cuck-axial*
*puts a nato on it*
Aaahh, pure class.
The fuck are you talking about, being "nice" is what distinguishes expensive mechanical watches from quartz mass production.
Keep playing with your babby watch wristlet
Lmao, so easy to trigger wristlets
See pic.
That is all.
Which one?
>merely pretending
God damn was that expected.
humm, that's not gold tho.
>that crown
Eh I would not say I am triggered. Shame I cannot wear some great watches like the Sumo or Stargate. But nothing worth crying over. I happily wear both 41mm and 34mm pieces just fine. Really depends on how the case is shaped as well. Also lug to lug I have found is the more important measurement to determine how it will fit.
Don't be ridiculous.
>H-heh, bet you're just trolling!
No wristlet.
Are you the one who was saying recently that Moser is available for 7k?
Thinking about picking this thing up from another local collector. Cal. 3923 with an LED that blinks every second. ~$400 but payable in multiple months.
Rather weird feature to say the least, but it's these kinds of unique HEQ that keep pulling me in even though I already have 2 others. Also it's a Daini VFA which is cool.
What is the battery life on these?
No.
it looks ridiculous user. this thing is supposed to be a dress watch, isn't it?
>it looks ridiculous user
nice rebuttle.
enjoy your haute pilots watch user
Not the autistic shitposting user but honestly what is the appeal of modern IWC?
here's what a crown on a dress watch is supposed to look like, so you don't get confused again.
Keep in mind the cursive vfa (which was applied to quartz pieces) has very little to do with the non cursive vfa (which was applied to mechanical pieces). From my understanding the quartz pieces were labeled vfa not because they were actually finely adjusted, but because their accuracy was at the mechanical vfa level or better. I'd generally consider this watch at the king quartz or Lord quartz level. If you like the blinking led gimmick and 5he somewhat unusual case shape for early Seiko quartz, that's mostly what you'll be getting with this watch.
To add I don't find them to be bad watches per say. But they just don't do it for me.
>this thing is supposed to be a dress watch
Not really; the very loud dial makes it a more casual watch.
>no water resistance
>no complications
>no date
>entirely brushed case
>plain stick indices
it's a dress watch user, stop being ridiculous
They're shiny and expensive. Some of their recent ultra high end stuff is cool though.
meant entirely polished case
absolutely no clue honestly.
they all just look cheap to me, and if the chinese can perfectly create the aesthetic and sell it for $50 it's obviously not a very complex design
Can I get full list of /wt/ meme watches.
Thank you.
I don't even know the price on this but is is probably super expensive and for that kinda money I would probably be better off buying a JLC or even a Patek.
What wristlets imagine:
>H-heh, I bet my 34mm CLASSY DRESS WATCH maked me look sooooo cool and sophisticated! I'm such a gentleman, real MAD MEN STYLE! My oneitits will surely give me sex once she sees my new watch!
What actually happens
>H-hi Stacey, l-look at my new dress piece that I have spoiled myself w-with, it's...
>Hahaha user, isn't that a bit small for a man's watch? My Michael Kors is bigger than that! Ewww, look old too, like something my grandpa would wear! Anyway Chad's here to pick me up, wow look at that hefty gold watch he's wearing, hahaha Chad's sooo coool, anyway gotta go, mind to do my homework loser.
Pic related, what you look like when you wear your shitty tiny le classy vintage dress pieces of shit.
>hating on anything about H. Moser & Cie
Toppest of plebs.
Do 5 minutes of research before you post next time.
>buying watches to impress normie whores
>not buying what you like and what suits you best
are you a pleb or something
No clue honestly. I think people just like them for the fliegers and portugueses.
The non-high end stuff is pretty uninspired and the movements are horologically uninteresting.
The high end stuff is pretty cool and a bit cheaper than what you'd normally pay for similar complications, but designs are still not that great.
>wristlet LITERALLY admits that an old boring woman-sized piece of garbage dress meme "watch" suits him best
You didn't really think this through, huh retard?
Here bro, I got you.
You clearly want to just flash some piece of shit and to make sure as many people as possible notice it.
not including forced memes

It's a nouveau riche pleb catching brand that uses incredibly cringey marketing and oversized colorful designs to sucker morons into paying $10,000 for Valjoux 7750s in fancy looking cases before they know any better.
>wristlet faggot so embarrassed of his tiny piece of shit that he makes it his priority to hide it from everyone else
Lol
No a158?
Also does anyone here have a Lange?
I have seen one, but it was not confirmed for being their own.
>absolute shallow pleb literally admits his decisions in buying watches is for normie tastes and whore attention as he puts pussy on a pedestal
I bet the tudor retard is behind this shitposting.
>thinking Moser has any redeeming qualities
cute
Don't give (you)s to underage bait, Jesus.
The bagelgauss was a huge meme a couple years ago.
Well, there's at least the italian lawyer.
>Helium Escape Valve
What are some other completely useless watch gimmicks?
Gee, ya think maybe there are a couple of constant shitposters on these threads who take on various fake personas to troll with and switch between them when they stop getting enough (You)s?
good watch but probably superseded by the f91w in terms of a /wt/ meme
>soyboi trying to recover
>inadvertently admits he doesn't actually get pussy
LOL
Bet you'd rather rim my smelly arsehole, huh faggot twinkboi?
>buying watches to impress women
I'm done.
A HEV is incredibly useful, for an insignificantly small part of the users.
