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.

Thank fuck for that. Please let this thread be less full of cunts.
That little casio looks huge on that guy's wrist
Obligatory IED post to get the thread going.
Not everyone is a shrek impersonator around here.
What mods could you do to this?
After two weeks this is running +1s total, and that was the day it was left in the watchbox. Fucking hell this 3135 is dialed in.
Please just stop.
Can you pass it on to me when you die?
>Xth for that finishing
He looks really tight on him as well. It's probably cutting off circulation to his hand.
Some of you wristlets make seiko 5s look big
Maybe, if you are a good enough contributor to /wt/.
I post the Casio aq230, solar seikos and tudors.
Will I get it?
This might be a fake. Have you had a legitimate (non /wt/) expert look at this dial/case/movement/serial #?
Good morning wt
Amphibia or g shock? Price is the same, I don't have a diver or radio watch yet
I contribute slavshit and double penis. Don't listen to the Casio shitposter.
Get that nasty red seconds hand out of my face.
So this thing stopped several times yesterday. This watchmaker is going to make me lose my mind. I slapped a new battery in and it seems to be working for now.
Is that user that works on cosmotrons here? Do you know how I could source a generic sapphire crystal for this?
That red second hand is great, you could say pure class. ;^)
is the case metal too?
not him but esslinger
no
and it does not look as good in person as it does in pics, it's very light and cheap plastic feeling
Like most casios no it is mostly plastic and cheap feeling but the price is right
No it's not, but at that price point I can't really complain.
Casio occupies the "perfect careless beater" slot for pretty much any type of watch.
I personally like the looks of aq230 and I think it would work great as a watch for the office etc.
Definitely not.
If anyone managed to fake the free sprung balance and micro-stella screws in a 3135 and have their fake deliver pic related kind of timing performance then they are actually more skilled than the watchmakers at Rolex and I'd prefer this fake over a real one.
You could have just said no its real but you typed a paragraph instead
Where's the guy who completely fucked up his casio royale?
I feel this thread is perfect for him.
If you read this, get a f-91w and try modding it next.
Sorry you feel bad about getting posterized.
I'm not that guy and don't pretend you'd prefer a fake if it was more accurate
What kind of mic do you use on that timegrapher, and whats that software?
Why do astronauts wear multiple watches?
Different person but I just use a cheap guitar pickup and preamp from Amazon. The software is tg.
(You)
>Why do astronauts wear multiple watches?
no idea, it's a thing though
This is, by miles, the nicest looking Boctok I've ever seen.
The finishing on that piece is sublime!
I have a W-201, can I be cool too?
It's the new 020 series released last month with 60-click unidirectional bezel
Thanks bro. It’s a real shitter in person though. It must weigh 15 grams without the strap.
very lithe
>that bracelet fitment
fucking poorfags
The ISS observes UTC, I imagine astronauts also want to know either what time it is where they launched from, what time it is at mission control, or what time it is in their home country. What time it is on the ISS must be a strange concept when you're flying around the world once every 90 minutes.
They are in space user, they just float there
Is the popularization of the terrorist watch in anonymous forums another attempt by the FBI at increasing more suspects?
>Is the popularization of the terrorist watch in anonymous forums another attempt by the FBI at increasing more suspects?
yes
Aren't cheap cell phones used in their place now?
Too bad is just a fucking timer and not a whole computer. With today's tech we could have a diy computer on the wrist. But no, we have a jailbait piece of shit instead.
Imagine smart watches in 25 years m8
>bidirectional bezel
Actually they finally got their heads together and made a unidirectional one.
I can see shards of metal
also why would bokbok use a bidirectional bezel on a diver?
Try reading the thread before commenting next time, it might help.
I can't imagine buying ultra-cheap slav watch technology.
Thanks, I'll stick with Omega, Seiko, Rolex, Patek etc.
Your loss, faggot.
how is the action on that bezel?
My parcel from japan has been in customs for three days aaaaaaAAAAAAあああ
you likely won't be hearing from hear for a couple of days, I assume sloppy.
the technology behind slav (particularly Russian) watches is lazy and inferior to Japanese/Chinese/Swiss in all regards.
what are you getting
Are you having a stroke?
Good taste in TV show.
What is the best way to modify my f91w to have a better light?
can i swap in the guts from a similar model that has the full screen backlight? install a brighter light?
i want to mod mine
thx
by buying the electro luminescence version for like 10 dollars and saving your time
i like the outside look and blue lines on the f91w
King Penis. I’m so excited.
come on dude theyre like the same
bro they are clearly not the same
could i swap the guts out?
>$137 for a vostok with chinese parts
hmmmm
This is an image board
Pls
Here’s my penis.
I got it last week.
wow, very nice
thank you
eBay pictures are never that great. I'll take some wrist shots once I get it.
seems like a lot of work when you could just try to get used to the slight different appearance of the other one. post results if you do try some shit though
Jesus. Is that not yours then? Looks great.
my arm hairs are getting ripped out just looking at this
Have a King Quartz with same bracelet design and no hair pull
Penis quartz bracelets are surprisingly hair tolerant. They tend to just sprout out through the gaps rather than get pinched.
This is the exact benis I bought.
They were designed for hairless Japanese arms so I've yet to see how it will work for me. Thankfully my arms are relatively smooth.
fair enough wear them in good health
Very nice.
The regular F-91W has to much different colors in my opinion.
Post nubile girls wearing watches
Try pornhub.
>Where's the guy who completely fucked up his casio royale?
Here.
>If you read this, get a f-91w and try modding it next.
I've already hydro modded an f-91w with high quality, zero kilometre, Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It still works flawlessy at -0.3 s/d
I don't wear it daily just because i already have a GW-M5610 that
suits perfectly my needs. I bought the Royale just because I wanted something shiny and more feature packed than the a158
>using organic oil
gross
>using organic oil
I didn't want to spend half the price of the watch itself to do the mod
Also the green display looks neat
>talking to some hot piece of ass today
>she couldn't keep her eyes off my watch
>I will have a gf soon
