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, solar seiko, or other timepiece.

What's the exact model of the pope watch? It seems like people can't agree if its a casio or a swatch.
got here
He has both, but when people say popewatch they mean the Casio. The swatch is a once again.
fuck. I should seriously just start a company making mystery dial watches and solid metal digitals because the current manufacturers just dont get it
>the Casio
what model is it?
pretentious fuck having 2 watches
Once Again, it's loud as fuck and has a non-hacking quartz movement which is weird.
kind of want it for that ascetic aesthetic
cheap watch for skeletor rists?
Mq24-7b
How cheap?
> non-hacking quartz
Strange isn't it? I wonder why they would design it like that? You can't even pull the crown to save battery
post watches for wristlets
you bought a neon orange strap too right? lets see it
>non-hacking quartz
Once again the MTP proves to be superior.
Three watches, I can only get one which should I get?

HELP! I'm seriously considering spending $300 on a G-Shock.
>defending the shitty Casio spammer
Go out and take him with you.
You can see some amazing watches if you visit your local boutiques.

You need to leave
How is this better than the 95$ one
Get it with the composite band
just because it looks slightly cooler?
Screw down caseback, DLC coating, better stock strap and cool aesthetics
What's a good way to get an analog calendar with moonphase under 1000$. Can be quartz, I don't care
How annoying is it to have to set this if you wear it in a rotation and it dies?
Nice bagelsport homage
reposting my comfy timex story cause the thread died
If you're rich enough to afford it, buying a watch winder is not problem (idk if it is an auto or not)
That's what watch winders are for. If it's only stopped a few days you manually wind it forward.
i serviced this watch a week ago. i bought it for next to nothing, ten bucks. i bought it because it uses a cool solution for an important problem; to make the watch more shockresistant they used conical pivots, which would turn in hard alloy (or in my case glass) pivots that you screwed in. this has the added benefit that it loses less amplitude with the balance in vertical positions.
got it to run below spec even, about a minute per day. sadly wasnt able to lower the beat error properly, but at a minute a day it doesnt matter really. since its a pin pallet, the amplitude doesnt show correctly but i had to put oil in the anchor pivots to slow the balance down from 360 degrees.
the wobbly line on the timegrapher is because of an unround escape wheel, sadly didnt have a replacement. even still, ive had it on my wrist for 4 days now, and its only about 2 and a half minutes off, so even better than expected!
Maybe after posting that another few hundred times that will be funny but you're not there yet user.
Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold with President bracelet
Nice gold seiko 5 homage
Too 1970's for me. I much prefer the new platinum model.
womans watch
Where are G-Shocks made?
UGLY
Probably a combination of Japan and China
That's a sleazecore grail right there.
What's the best place aside from eBay I should be checking for vintage replacement crowns?
Can you tell what watch he is wearing?
It is a flieger. Could be from any number of brands
>That finishing
Each to their own. How about these?
Under $1000? I can only think of two:
Seiko SRX003
Frederique Constant FC-270SW4P6
That's a really ugly dial. Make it sunburst blue like a DJ and it'd be pretty good. I still have that day indicator though.
>flimsy
>no applied indices
>no lume
>no rotating bezel
4/10 into the trash it goes
Right one looks fine, not sure what the fuck they were going for with the left one other than a total mess.
Can you stop spamming that? Thanks.
Bad picture I think. The ice blue diagonal dial looks amazing if you actually see one up close.
I already thought that its not really possible to tell the brand, thanks anyway!
Saw an old japanese dude wearing one of those. Pure class.
The seiko, I would go with.
If you are going to get one I recommend Stowa
For the user that was thinking about getting one, they're on Massdrop right now for $479. Just make sure you get the unisex (women's) size, not the serving tray sized men's version.
How would people know about this if I didn't enlighten them?
Just get a cheaper one.
fuck off yoda
Please reply to me seriously and on point. Can you stop?
this looks like something my grandfather would have worn 20 years ago/10
disgusting
I really like the design of the Visodate, but it is just so awfully thiqq.
What watch would a jedi master wear, I wonder.
> First Nautilus with a Perpetual Calendar.
> That ultra thin movement and case
> All white gold case and bracelet.
What are the dimensions of this?
25mm x 39mm, iirc.
>meesa tell time
It's a piece of shit, no one wants to know about it.
Why is he so happy?
Because he does what he wants.
Do that, and you too can be happy.
Went out to a few yard sales like I posted last weekend, looking for vintage watches and instruments at garage sales earlier this morning with no luck. All I saw were quartz shitters everywhere.
I may go out again in a few minutes now that I'm done watching soccer and had lunch.
Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase.
not much happiness there
Thoughts?
>faceapp
Mock him all you want, but the guy can be a sleazecore god and he fucks on a daily basis.
it's shit
Go back to /fa/ with your garbage forced meme spam faggot
Cringe that minutes hand
>Lacoste
Top kek, but unironically speaking seeing those clothing and other fashion brands names on watches have made me hate them so much I wouldn't buy their actual product ever.
When I hear michael kors, tommy hilfiger etc all I can picture in my head is some rip off piece of shit.
