Recommend me a dress watch for $700 or less
Style new movement ect
I'm looking new, classic, and automatic
First for recent auction wins
Silver dial intramatic would be good if not for the date.
Patek: worth it, or just dumb?
Depends on the model and the price.
Sent a somewhat low ball offer on a Raketa.
cyka blyat kid I know what I got, no lowballers no tirekickers.
He is overcharging anyway.
I wouldn’t accept that useless piece of shit even for free and I’m a sucker for slavshit.
Going back to discussion from last night. How do you finance shit at 0%? I never do finance because I think paying those extra charges is retarded but if it's 0% then it's a great idea. How does a 0% finance happen though? I thought those charges were for the possibility of financing itself so at 0% the store doesn't get anything out of letting you finance it.
>How?
They offer it to you.
>Why?
If you go over the 0% period it jumps up to crazy rates. An example:
0% finance*
*for 6 months
I have brought one think on finance and it's because getting it on 0% finance gave me a bunch of free shit. Other than incentives like that I personally don't see the point as the price of a watch isn't going to make you anything over the period imo. But each to their own.
So basically as long as you're not a retard and pay off in time, it's a free loan?
>thread theme
My fucking sides
Yeah pretty much. If you miss a payment or go over the time period your in the shit though. The user arguing against it missed the 0% part and conceded that it's fine to do at 0%.
Suggest Something sturdy for outdoors work, similar to a g-shock, but with a less busy face/larger numerals if LCD or an analog face, must have pushbutton illumination or a decent lume.

What should I buy for watch storage?
A case
Sounds like you must have a patrician collection. Post collection picture.
>solid casebacks
Why
Wristwatch check.
I got you m8. Check out my new Amphibia.
Because it is a cool movement
Alpenis folded 1000 times.
what are some cool russian watches?
Soviet watches are cool and if it's your thing, modern Russian Amphibias are cool too.
/CASIOGANG/ reporting in
Get on my level.
here is the watch, a turbo shitter, what is the moral thing to respond in this situation?
Also this new acquisition.
>This watch is a beauty, he had good taste
Is it morally acceptable to lie straight in this guy's face? In my opinion, yes
Just don't say anything about the watch being good or bad. Tell him it's nice thst he does that to remember his brother.
Well everyone knows he didn't have good choice in past times. Never halfwheel.
why did they all wipe out, was it a gust of wind?
that's actually a good idea, obviously the watch is less important to him than the memory of his brother that it represents
Don't reply.
Probably something on the surface, for so many of them to slide in the exact same place.
I don't even have a reddit account, I'm just interested in the ethical dilemma
still waiting for the strap for my Poljot
nice collection
What's the best bracelet to put on a SNK809?
none
Milanese it is then.
what's the one lying horizontally in the middle?
I just keep mine on a green NATO for that Vietnam War era vibe. I think even the classic flieger leather is a bit retarded, because of how small the watch is and the small studs look a bit ridiculous. SNK809 is the ultimate identity crisis watch, I'd classify it as a cheap Seiko 5 shitter made in the homage of flieger and field styles.
though it DOES look nice in pictures
I'm actually modding mine shortly and thin a bracelet will work better.
But yea it is tiny. IT's the smallness of the SNK That put me off getting a 36mm Explorer.
Did you mod it already? I remember you posting this pic, but I skipped a few threads afterwards, I think. Also don't you have a vintage Omega (the only reason I remember is that flamingo strap)? That's pretty small too, but yeah, I suppose dress and tool watches have a different standard
these threads always make me feel insecure about my hairless arms
Yea I polished the case but that's easy.
I then bought the tools and parts to be able to do a dial and hand swap. Still waiting on some key tools though as I purchased on AliExpress.....
It's not going to be popular here but I have Black Bay style hands and dial. I think it looks better than the real BB36 without the Tudor text and the goofy crown.
Noice, just a shame about the water resistance
An F-14, the strap broke though so I put an F-91W one onto it. The standard strap is integrated into the caseback and is really curly, the top right is an F-14 with the standard strap.
can't see any on ebay, are they hard to get?
Why is there a classical watch thread in /g but not smartwatch?
If you think there is enough interest create one, also I saw a couple of smartwatch discussions here, so if you want to say something go right ahead
because smartwatches are normie and a botnet
Just wanna share. Used to be a mechanical watch geek. Then thought fuck it, for over 200 euro a watch better make my life easier in a way more than just look cool.
and
no, I think daniel wellington/michael kors/ nomos fake look alike 10 euro tier watches are normie.
Jinternational Watch Company?
They're quite hard to get hold of as they're a cheap disposable digital from the 80s. There was a seller on eBay from Greece selling some NOS, that's where I got mine from.
I imagine it's some thing on the galaxy apps store preventing use of real names. Doesn't matter, had the style for yesterday. I enjoy the gear s3 because of the straps and the ability to swap faces it being 1000 watches in one but also the functions.
did the listing say something about the back being oily?
Yeah, that's the one. Seller is gk2344, the resin is just breaking down a bit with age. After all they're over 30 years old now and were probably never meant to still be around.
He's a good seller though.
UGLY
so is the battery not replaceable?
I wouldn't go that far, but it's true that there is moderate dial damage and the case is quite dinged up. Though it looks way cleaner IRL than it does in photos. Still on the lookout for the same watch in mint condition
what's the model name?
What did just say about my man user's Poljot, you little faggot.
...
It is, you just have to remove the caseback and strap in one. Also the buttons.
>when your eBay watch list is literally a list of watches
I opened up my Penis for you all.
I thought that was why it's called a Watch List.
trolololol
What the fuck did you just fucking say about my Poljot, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Пepвый Mocкoвcкий чacoвoй зaвoд, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret watchmaking operations, and I have over 300 confirmed unique Vympel dials. I am trained in horological warfare and I’m the top movement oiler in the entire Soviet Union. You are nothing to me but just another swisscuck. I will measure the fuck out of time with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of cold war era spies across the USA and your watch movement is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your watch. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can make a watch anywhere, anytime, and I can make it with over seven hundred parts, and that’s just without my loupe. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed horology, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Chistopol and Petrodverts factories and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable watches off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Seiko Dolce SACM171
Nice effort, but I don't think this pasta suits watches that well bro.
Nice benis
Posting Casio
yawn
>That finishing
UGLY
saw this in a thread a while back, does anyone know what it is?
That's a Tisell/Laco/Stowa/Archimede Flieger.
Think that crown and second hand is reminiscent of the Stowa.
Casio check?

that's a big watch, user, do you have a photo of it on your wrist?
> shows an ugly piece of simple electronics.
> wonders why people hate quartz.
whats the model number of this?
That’s true I guess and this is one of the better quality quartz movements ever produced.
+0.6 seconds per day isn’t bad for 40 years old though.
