Thank you for making a proper thread, user-sama.
REAL THREAD POSTED FIRST
Not interested in blacked and gore.
Not to mention the reps.
Nice theme this time
this, the shitposter are really getting rowdy for some reason, at least the casio shitposting is benign
I miss windyknob shitposting
Wouldn't he stop posting if we ignored him ?
He still does it, are you blind?
No.
honestly, fuck it, I'll just come back to /wt/ if I have some questions to ask the post/shitpost ratio is just too fucked, and you can find some good discussion on more insular WUS subforums
No one would justify and enable his shitty chink Black Bay desire. Honestly he should just fuck off to the rep forum, /fa/, or some gay rep sub reddit.
what these autists don't understand is that shitposting is supposed to spice up the thread and be funny and not just mindlessly forcing the same meme 24/7 like a braindead idiot
Is this OK?
>Honestly he should just fuck off to the rep forum, /fa/, or some gay rep sub reddit.
Don't tell me what to do.
Ah thats too bad. You'd think the seller should've mentioned that.
What's the windyknob on the top left for?
I specifically asked and the seller confirmed they worked. So it got sent back as not as described. I'm assuming the seller just had no clue.
No big deal. Thrill of the chase and all that.
agreed. The aq 230 is tired at this point and I look forward to something new.
Locks the ring.
I didn't know Shrek was the sterile parnis guy as well.
More so a suggestion. You have already admitted that for you it is 100% about the looks and fashion of the watch. Not saying you cannot appreciate both looks and tech, but if looks is all you care about why bother posting here? There are other places more about reps and shit like that.
/wt/ should consider moving to discord.
Shrek is a lot of guys
i like it
here you go. new meme located
Does he just fall for every meme? Or is this a part of a bigger plan?
No it shouldn't
>people are posting in this thread instead of mine
I'm sorry guys, but you know what comes next.
Passive agressive blacked cuck porn because nobody here wanted to enable your shitty worthless opinions?
Don't post subhuman sandniggers tho, ok?
Small dress watches?
I'm uo for that.
No, I'd never post anything off topic in my general.
I have a couple of watches I actually like come on and I by meme watches just for fun
I honestly actually like the sterile Parnis, it hacks and hand winds and looks pretty good for $48 A lot of meme watches are ok for the price
My next real watch will be a Rolex but I don’t feel like spending the sheckles
sorry but the dome crystal looks like shit, the linen dial is top notch, though
>sorry but the dome crystal looks like shit
It's funny that my Constellation is a "jumbo" model because it's 35mm.
So what's the story with AA?
Does this count?
its blue has white in the hands a day and date complication and a childish looking dial. Who in the fuck would wear this out?
No he's kind of alright, I like domed crystals but this one in particular is kind of weird, like very domed at first and then flat on top. I wonder if my local watchmaker has better domed crystals for a slav watch.
My story is that it sucks but at least I don’t drink anymore, I went over at like three or four threads ago
It's more like a box crystal than a dome. It's kinda cool, but isn't the best fit for a dress watch imo.
okay, pretty sure this is my smallest
> blue dial
> day
probably not
Maybe you should stop for a few minutes and actually think about why that is.
Yeah fair enough.
stepped crystals like that are common enough
>I went over at like three or four threads ago
some user told that, so you replace drinking with shitposting now?
but that is not the original crystal
The dial is a gorgeous dark blue sunburst, actually. Looks amazing when light hits it.
yup
it's not? How do you know? Interested to learn more.
This
also this.
Noice
good old vulva 12
I like that dial and would wear it daily but i also wouldn't wear that in any sort of formal situation. just my take on what they may have meant.
That feel when nobody commented anything about my casio OC ;_;
its franken as fuck and even has a new stainless case but the movement is an actual precision movement so i was cool with it.
>the waiting on new slavshit and a strap
You've been waiting for them for some time now.
i also have worn this on occasion after i changed the crystal out.
>mfw waiting for my lange catalogue in the mail.
Careful user, these faggots:
are going to sperg out on you because of that crown.
Yeah I know.
I'm just guessing, desu, but most Raketas had mostly flat crystals, you could try asking around WUS or looking at old catalogs, but crystals are generally accepted as ok to be replaced
>HMT slim
How slim is it actually?
Slavshit seller took his time to ship, said he needed to check the watch before shipping so I hope it at least runs good.
As for strap, it should be here Tuesday.
oh, you meant this crystal not this one , I misunderstood
>what they may have meant.
it was probably blatant shitposting
>a HMT on /wt/
Lets go bois.
its pretty slim. It is also far nicer than it has any right to be and cost me a total of 12 dollars including shipping but i did change the crystal out and burned the strap it came with.
I need a recommendation guys, dress watch for around ~$1000
thoughts?
Please don't post those ever again. I feel sick.
I prefer the rhodium or grape dials.
the blue kills it for me but if you like the dial everything else about it is spot on
looks like a watch to me
nice hmt
The absolute state of these threads lately, Jesus Christ.
Nice Rolex
when's your next shift?
Hey you are the user who got a watchrepair jog/apprenticeship right? How is it going?
Good! Only one shift so far, but it went very well. I posted some pics of dead watches a couple threads back, along with some snaps of the Bucherer catalog.
Tuesdee.
>the resolution and detail on these photos
Are you using a 20mp Nikon DSLR?
That's one way to put an old knee or wrist brace to work, I guess.
Or a good eye patch
could be worse
I want to enter a road rally in a 300SL with Heuer dash clocks.
The file size and image dimensions makes me guess he's using a cell phone and not resizing. Those photos could easily be taken with a cell phone since he's in open shade which means lots of good flat light. And the depth of field looks too deep to be a DSLR sized image sensor.
Sup
Okay, not even gonna comment on this.
That thing looks like shit but I like the idea of the dial, are there any watches with like a ceramic tile effect to the face?
Just get an eichi ii
Thanks for the shekels goy
>ceramic tile effect to the face
>being that in to shitters
