is that how im supposed to wear my watch?
Post watches you want.
Did you already buy the newest hippest horological accessory?
I'm super mad, I missed the Big Mac DW-6900 Casio released last week
I'd buy that if it only had the 300m notice.
I am thinking of buying an Omega moon watch velcro strap for my watches, it's 19.5mm but it's 21inches long.
Can it be worn? I order 12 inch NATOs but even they have barely enough overlap for me to properly tighten them and put them in the keepers like you are supposed to do when wearing them. Could I modify it to use with my chronograph in normal wear? I found one on eBay for $85 from an official omega moonwatch kit.
i think so
this is the eBay link

No, windy. Loose some weight instead.
it's my skeleton tbqh
What is that color guide written in latin?
you find the weirdest shit
>big bones
Loose some skeleton then.
It's clearly a test page.
I'm surprised there are people on Jow Forums who don't know what lorem ipsum is.
I like watches
Why
They tell time
Why does every thread start with so many shitposts?
It's the same 10 people in every thread
you are not helping, post about watches
I haven’t seen a Nomos collection in a while.
How do you like my homos collection?
And that's a good thing
Is there a way to get a Soyko watch without "Seiko" written on it? I like the look of that green Soyko but I couldn't live with it having "Seiko" written on it.
Should I get an analog-digital or plain digital Casio protrek?
just get a green submariner
forgot pic
Mod it
...
>$225
shooped
Is there a guide for a brainlet like me?
or something more like this?
imho this is better
Why?
Google Seiko Fifty Five Fathoms mod, first result is a massive watchuseek thread, read through it and it'll probably tell you all you need to know.

Reply to this with pictures of watches but only if you have a girlfriend / wife / fiance and choose to not put pictures of her on Jow Forums.
I think I'll sell this amphibia. I told myself I would wear it but I can't go back to my slavshit roots after getting a few nicer watches. I still think I want to go vintage in the future though.
I'll tell you user, the PRG-600 is a very nice watch but right now may not be the best time to get one. The LCD is prone to failure and I'm not sure Casio has solved the problem yet.
is a safer bet, although i find it less appealing.
My daily wearer
Dis ma GFs watch
She's Japanese.
I love the rose logo on this.
What the fuck are you babbling about
Me too.. I specifically searched for an older ETA powered one just for the dial.
What part don't you understand?
And it's 2 mm thinner than the in-house one too right?
Nice rep.
lol
Nice Amphibia. What are you wearing now?

this is my girl, she wears and apple watch ;_;
>this is my girl, she wears and apple watch ;_;
Leave her for someone more nubile and horological bro srs
Older pic, but it's what I'm wearing today.
That's horrifying, she could at least use samsung gear
w2c this rep?
my wiafu d.esu
It's not a rep.
It's supposed to be something like that. I have never held one of the new ones..
That little lady can really pull some serious O2
Here's my gf, she wears an apple watch tho :(
dude weed lmao
What do you mean?
Kek
What about the higher tier ones like the prw-6000 or prw-7000? Are their LCDs are also prone to failure?
>tfw long term goal is to own three Grand Seiko, one quartz, one Spring Drive, and one pure mechanical
Why are vintage rolexes so much more expensive than vintage omegas?
That's a nice goal. Do you know which models you'd want to get?
Brand recognition mostly. Prices depend a lot on the popularity of the brand today. If you want to get the best value in vintage, pick a dead brand.
>dress watch
>$300 or less
>40mm or less
>power reserve indicator
What watch?
Orient Star

Wow someones trying to learn something about watches in a watch thread lets call them a retard
Thanks
Brand recognition mostly, since Rolex is a more expensive brand than Omega today the same goes for the vintage market. Which is funny because Rolex used to be cheaper and Omega used to be better. The vintage Rolex market is all fucked up, I would love to own plenty of vintage Rolexes but the prices are absolutely way beyond what the watches are worth.
I wish I’d got the 36mm explorer.
Me too, m8. One day.
I still love it though.
what's the name of this watch?
We all told you that 114270 is always the right answer.
Fuck it I need a big strap, going to put my SSG001 on it, will post pics when I get it bros
If it makes you feel better the 114270 has shit lume.
you were warned
You could have gotten a non-omega one for like $20
Timex 707 "Hooks"
I never use lume desu.
But I also think I’d find the 36mm too small. Does it wear bigger than an snk809?
Same but 30$ or less
>36 too small
I don't understand this meme. Unless you're Shrek windy-solar-knobman, 36 is a perfect size.
Much less so in my experience. I'd consider getting one but I still wear my 9400 a lot
>Why didnt you get this one?
It's only 280mm, that's too short for me, I need a 13 or 14 inch strap
>You could have gotten a non-omega one for like $20
that's super long?
I know it doesn’t matter to most people in here but normies find 36mm pretty feminine in this day and age. Especially with the trend that even girls watches are 38+mm.
I was also struggling to find a nice example the 36mm version near me.
do you have an actual space suit you want to wear the watch with or what? your wrists aren't that big
I am going to cut it to the length I want by taking out the middle to get it down to like 13 inches and have my gf sew it back together in the middle where you can't see
I mean, the watch in the photo is a genuine Tudor BB.
