is... is that allowed?
Am I the only one who finds best up to death vintage soviet watches appealing? I dig the post-apocalyptic dystopian look to it.

I love damaged and aged watches. They tell stories with no words.
Well I can tell you the story of this one. It lost its crystal at some point and got thrown into the drawer, and over the years a balloon decomposed an melted onto the right side of the dial.
I find slight aging signs nice but not overly beat up disgusting shit like
Mean! This was my pep-peps you turd.
It's still disgusting, user. Sorry.
Is this a good deal? It seems like a good deal...
Where to buy fake rolex?
Chink market.
dont

Nope. Some swiss law introduced in the early 1900's means that only functional jewels may be counted.
Posting Casio
How do you like my new Casio?
>ETA fags will never know the true bliss of an additional jewel
what's L4000? The movement? Reference?
>movement surrounded by 80 jewels with no purpose
>throw 8 on the rotor just because :)
a lot of vintage companies did that just so they could claim "100 jewels". naturally they were exposed.
Well meme'd
Pure class my friend

Kinda, there won't be one for sale, in 1 or 2 year, I think.
Does anyone know how to spot a fake DW5600-IV?
I'm worried I've been ripped off
That picture is phenomenally unflattering. Good lord.
Post it first.
How does that watch hover in the air?
I have this one, but it says "fox fire" instead of "illuminator" at the top.
Am I now a millionaire?
no bully thanks ;-;

It doesn't look fake imho, but why are you concerned about it in the first place?
I know there are fakes of the GA-100, because they're insanely popular with normies. But the DW5600? I don't really think so.
the text of the LCD looks really different to my authentic GW-M5610
think it's a fake
because I'm an autist who overthinks things
the tiny little letters at the bottom of the glass seem different to photos I've seen
It’s the 60th anniversary railmaster. 8806 movement.
Only 38mm too!
that watch has an entirely different module
guess that makes sense
I would have assumed they used the same font across all of their G-Shock LCDs
(same of)
Obviously it's different, there isn't the same module as said
Where did you buy it?
How hard would it be for me to regulate my 2824 watch if I'm a complete novice and a retard? It's running about 15-20 seconds fast per day at the minute.
For what i've heard it's actually easier to do it compared to cheaper jap mov'ts
Looks like Pajeet made a guide for me.
All you really need is a case back wrench and a small screw-driver to turn the micro-adjuster (the small slotted screw near the balance wheel) , but it will be a pain to dial it in if you have to use your phone and an app to try and listen to the timing rate.
Because low end Japanese movements don't have micro-adjusters and regulating by moving the regulator arm is way more difficult to dial in.
eBay seller in my country with good feedback and lots of sales of this watch with good reviews

Why zenmarket over buyee?
What does that even mean?
tubular is actually called torpedo
So let me get this straight, quartz is a shit meme?
No.
quartz is perfectly fine
Then who started the whole "your quartz will die in 10 years" meme. It's literally taken from one of OP videos.
Never heard of that meme. Quartz is fine, especially early.
>Quartz is fine
It is. There's nothing inherently wrong with quartz.
Spotted the Seiko 5 owner.
the tick tock
>wearing your watch upside down with the time 12 hours in advance so the crown doesn't dig into your wrist
I really don't understand why crown on left isn't standard.
Because then you'd have to reach over your watch to wind it
Cop or not?
A lot of things with wristwatches lie back to WW1 and officers/gentry.
The watch would be worn on the left so they could see the time and use their pistol at the same time.
The crown would be on the outside so it would be easier to wind the watch while it's on your wrist.
There are ofcourse now plenty of watches with off-set crowns or crowns on the inside of the wrist. The Pelagos LHD for example.
Because it literally doesn't matter unless you wear your watch on your hand.
Does Citizen have something similar to Seiko's MM300?
Not necessarily automatic, but something iconic and relatively upscale with insane craftsmanship and value?
Doesn't have to be a diver.
We back, boys?
Sort of
I see the image server is still down. Post what you're wearing then.

Apple watch?
I need a 36-38mm dress watch around €1000.
I like black dials and vintage military styling.
No pic related of my ex I hope to impress with it.
Any options?
Hamilton powermatic. Go on Reddit to see John's.
I was so bored when boards were down, I went to r/watches and I'm fucking dying.

why he's so nervous?
All that precious metal is too heavy for him.
i'm sure you'd be nervous showing yourself off looking like that and wearing a woman's watch
The Promaster range is probably the equivalent.
I like dress watches. I have a SARB033. I'm thinking my next watch will be an Oyster Perpetual. After that, what would be the next step up?
Why are Tissot and Frederique Constant so underrated? They make a lot of nice looking Swiss Made watches at good prices.
They are better value than Seiko.
a vostok
make the full loop
Got me a Lord Quartz!
I’m finding nothin possible to find a strap for it which will look good. Black leather doesn’t quite cut it...
Would Milanese work?
I don't understand why people do that, seems like it would constantly be in the way. One would think it would be apparent that they're wearing it wrong.

Looking for a relatively burly-looking beater.
>love the MM300
>afraid it looks a bit too much like a bigger, blingier Submariner homage
>love the quartz Seiko Tuna for having a character and history all its own, cannot be mistaken for another Sub homage
>afraid I'll hate the TICK-TICK-TICK of a quartz
help me
Spring drive tuna.
Those are even bigger than the quartz ones though.
2mm bigger in diameter, and almost 2mm thicker.
Get an automatic baby tuna?
Really don't like the look of those.
What’s wrong with the site?
When can I post photos of my nubile girlfriend again?
