This thread is about the appreciation of horology, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

no
Is that a fake SKX?
wtf
(not OP)
No, it's an older model afaik
Look at that second hand and rectangle base and arrow lume
I have never seen that before
Pic related or the A158wa?
The one you posted is like the perfect watch if it was in a heavy duty case. It's my cheapest and favorite
What does this mean
I did some reverse image search, most likely it is actually a fake
This one is nice that other one looks like it was designed by a child.
If you are going to put dumb meme videos in the op at least have the decency to put one technology focused watch video in it. A movement video or a machining video. This is fucking cancer.
is that a man?
...
Im I recommend getting that one you posted and a gold electroluminesense. The light on the silver one isn't very good and the gold really looks nicer than you would think
YES
YES
YES
COME ON
KEEP GOING
YES GET A MOVE ON
YES
COME ON YOU CAN DO IT
YES
>Ordering a watch from China
>Guangzhou
Am i too late to order this meme?
You'll probably get your shit from China faster than I will from Ukraine.
Good morning wt
Evening.
Hello goyims, i want a watch with an automatic or spring drive, iam very into the divers look of the submariner, i want to buy a seiko but i dont fucking understand the fucking models , theres the prospex with the 45° wheel and others
>help me with the model names
What garbage did you order?
Nice watch. Looks a lot more expensive than it is, I've admired it from your collection already but never said anything
do your own research retard. not spoon feeding you.

A Fudor Chink Bay
Gotchu, senpai.
Thanks user, it's a fun watch. At least one other collector on wt has one. Bit finicky to set though.
Post collections
Nice finishing
Nice moon phase under 2000?
Do they exist?
A Tudor Black Bay, it was way cheaper to buy one from China for some reason.
Going in to have my ray raven ii resized
how can I convince the watch repair guy to take me in as an apprentice?
Why would he apprentice you when you can't even figure out how to resize a damn watch on your own?
Nice Nomos homage.
I'm pretty cool
Nice thats one i looked already, i consider it to buy but the only thing holding me is that the wheel iant on . 15
Yes thats exaclty how i want it to look but as of my research the red wheel means its quartz and i want a spring mechanism
Fuck you nigger i tried everything ai even got on plebbit for the model sheme guide and still cant get shit cause google spits out very random shit if i type in seiko, prospex, diver, automatic and so on. There is no full list of seikos that are like the submariner
>also NIGGER
>Nice thats one i looked already, i consider it to buy but the only thing holding me is that the wheel iant on . 15
Why are you guys so reluctant to post in a general when there's a Tudor watch in the OP pic?
>both set to the same time and day and angle but taken with different cameras on different desks
explain this
Because, unfortunately, most of us simply weren't #BornToDare.
>spring drive
lol you can't afford it
Isn't this a pebble
This is... an interesting dial, to say the least. What the heck is it?
Look for a cheap intramatic, or a Seiko SARX. The SARX 027 has an enamel dial with arabic numerals. Pretty dang cool.
That an Erika strap? Looks great on the Tudor. No issues with the added thickness? Considering how thiccccc the BB is already.
I just posted this but okay.
Pic on the right is an incoming piece (just have to pay the seller and get it shipped to me).
What's the best diver watch for around $600? I'm gravitating toward the Sumo but its fuck huge and doesn't have sapphire. Ideally want something with sapphire and 42mm max case size. Willing to stretch to another hundred dollars or so.

Yeah, first gen from the Kickstarter
bro your arm is horrible
Replica Tudor Black Bay.
I'd go with Longines
Replica Rolex Submariner V7 ETA
What's that blue orient called? Not familiar with orient at all.
Bambino V3 Gen3
This better just be a joke
>he doesn't wear replica watches
The absolute state of you.
The cost of being southern Italian/German and almost 40.
thanks
Imagine actually buying Swiss when you can just buy Chinese.
Is this a good watch?
Iam ok with spending up to 400€ on a sspring submariner like watch
Spring drives start at $5000
non-replicas watches only
Imagine being so poor, you can't afford a real wristwatch. Not to mention tudor isn't worth replicating.
Why would you replicate a shitter for double the shit?
>FUDOR CHINK BAY
not even once
Funny thing is a real one is not even expensive. Spending $300 on a fake is the most nigger thing ever.
Christopher Ward
Oris
Ems or airmail?
>This is... an interesting dial, to say the least. What the heck is it?
It's clearly a placeholder dial.
That's a Tudor strap. They're made in one small factory in France that only makes super expensive handbags and shit (and now Tudor straps) using century-old machines.
swatch shill memeing aside that rep looks good enough that buying a real tudor isn't justified
Not every thread. Then we get bored of each other's shit. Lets wait a while
So some user posted this a while back, could I get a sauce?
On mobile cbf reverse imaging
What? So iam wrong with the names of the drives? Cause i thought automatic were just a self loafing spring drive and i can get them below 300€ easy
>If it looks passing enough it is fine and justified
Is this really the state of /wt/?
My Legend Diver no-date on a burgundy NATO
Protip: if your product can be replicated 99.9% at 1/10th of the price you are paying bulk for the branding.
What are you looking for? A basic mechanical movement that yes used springs, or are you looking for a Seiko Spring Drive™ movement?
Is it blasphemous to put a Rolex explorer on leather?
Stop replying to trolls you fucking retard
"Spring drive" refers to a specific Seiko technology that combines a mechanical movement with quartz timekeeping. You're thinking of simply "mechanical".
It is stupid easy to rep a calatrava as well. Does not mak
only if its vintage.
>that finishing
Holy shit that is HORRIBLE!
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that wow looks worse than a vostok
No.
Leather natos are awful. Nice watch.
no
whoops got candlejack'd.
Was saying it does not make the fake a better watch.
Better?
Just put it on whatever you want.
>this low quality bait
whatever helps you sleep at night with your shitty fake.
Oh wow, interesting. Didn't know of that. Haven't paid much attention to Tudor until very recently.
I like it better yeah.
The non-date LLD is a very nice design. The date window on the new one doesn't ruin it, but it's so unnecessary...
>fake
No.
do whatever the fuck you want with it, it's your watch
