first for Casio aq230
is this made with the same tech as a watch crystal?
is it a good deal?
>That finishing
Second for /wt/'s most desired watch, apparently
get a new OP photo you lazy cunt
Some guy was just testing other m8s claim that he bid over 400 on that.
The highest bidder is a new account with 0 feedback, he wont pay for it even if he wins.
>17bids to $183 for a $35 watch in 10mins
what is wrong with this site
That is really impolite my friend.
yeah but the lying m8 still bid $181for the lulz
that guy is going to get banned from ebay for life for this lol
honestly posting the same OP photo several times a week goes past spamming and trolling into the realm of really making you an asshole
Fuck you bro, first time I make a thread in weeks.
who /scum gang/ here?
>Fuck you bro, first time I make a thread in weeks.
why does your vagina hurt so much sweetheart? Its Saturday night, put some lube on and fuck yourself.
Let me give you a watch related example:
>You want a watch
>Rolexes are great watches but expensive
>Casios are great watches and cheap
>"Guys is a casio a good deal?"
Yeah nah, I'll stick with my Casio thanks.
Most Casios are a good deal if you want a reliable watch.
>China
That's just glass my friend.
Kill yourselves avatarfags
it's a sapphire the size of a walnut for $12
as long as it's literal sapphire crystal i think it would be neat, I could buy a couple of them and whip them at my gf when she's beign bad
why in almost every watch pic does the wearer bend their wrist?
>Kill yourselves avatarfags
Unironically these, at least browse the previous threads for new pictures of new watches bought by anons ffs.
If you're holding your arm out to take a picture of your watch, that's how your wrist naturally falls, at least for me. Especially since you generally try to put some distance between the camera and the watch, especially for smartphone pictures, to avoid distortion due to focal length.
Which of these should I buy /wt/?
> ESA9162, except in an omega case and therefore pricier than any other ESA9162
> Some seiko sub knockoff
> Zodiac, but without the good movement
I've never do that, I try to make the watch centered between my knuckles and forearm
Again?
Sapphire is not expensive or anything. It doesn't even look nice irl unless it's blue.
If you want to trick your gf, get some used swarovski jewellery on auctions sites.
This is technology. Lets not guy some old tech shit.
What Seiko?
Is it not the second hardest material known to man past a diamond?
a casio is a good deal user
boron carbide is also harder than sapphire
Not really. It's very hard and the second hardest common naturally occurring mineral, though.
That one is synthetic, and it's pretty easy to produce synthetic sapphires and has been for a long time. They're cheap and commonly used, your watch probably has a whole bunch of small synthetic rubies (red sapphires) in it and entire watch crystals made out of synthetic sapphires are very common so that should tell you it's not too hard to grow a big clear synthetic sapphire.
Yes, and ? Gold is pretty low on mohs but is lot more expensive. In the jewellery business the important factors are
>How nice something is
>How rare it is
>it's a sapphire the size of a walnut for $12
>as long as it's literal sapphire crystal i think it would be neat, I could buy a couple of them and whip them at my gf when she's beign bad
This made me laugh for some reason, I can just imagine some random seiko wearing user whipping sapphires at his ugly gf in some random shitty college ikea furnished apartment somewhere
I get that I am not buying the hope diamond user, I just think it would be neat to have a real huge sapphire
>that OP
>my Casio has a cracked screen
Am I a monster?
Post a pic of the Casio.
I want to have a neat and real huge penis.
Are you the tudor guy?
noticed the bracelet came with a nasty chip in it and so I'm sending the C60 back for a refund
so the seiko penis quartz models have caught my attention recently. is there a list of models that i can look at?
(You)
These are fantastic.
Who would have guessed that British Invicta would have QC issues?
it was "nearly new" so i expected a minor defect but this was too much
bro you can not buy shit made in Briton and worry about it being fucked up, have you never heard of triumph motorcycles? it's a full time job just to keep them running
this is a good start, especially for the lower-end ones mollewatch.com
also these for the higher-end ones
thewatchsite.com
grand-seiko.com
forgot this one as well, which is decent

>tfw no qt drawing of any of my watches
>Kill yourselves avatarfags

>hope diamond
that's 10 carats bigger than the hope diamond, now i want one too

Post your watches
>Fuck you bro, first time I make a thread in weeks.
So you got a block for avatar fagging and now that it's over you are just going to continue?
>be Saudi gayrab
>pick up new custom Daytona from AD and pay for it with pocket change
>wear it out
>someone notices
>stoned to death moments later
>people on the internet mock your watch for years to come
We can stop now.

>Tfw seller is going to be very dissapointed
>Tfw I actually wantes to buy it
Explain the deleted posts then.
Discuss this you sick fuck.
gladly
good all around watch. Super cheap though the buttons are easy to push. Gf has the aqua blue version of this and its beautiful.
>also used for bombs
love my moded 5600
post pics of her lithe young wrist
It’s back down to $183.50. What happened?
nah I'm good user. Ill take some pics of the watch later though
it was never at 400; the screenshot was shopped
Message him directly explaining the situattion
>janny deletes posts with tgv memes and some bantz about a watch on ebay
>lets the solar fag keep shit posting every single thread
tools
Those fuckers should know that tgv is a integral part of watch threads.
thats pretty nuts
I need this, what is it and what is that holder it is on
Gas yourself, avatar fag.
i would rather someone run around this thread posting photos of his teen gf wearing divers than you posting screenshots of some 30yo shill
it's a Tag mikrogirder. I don't think they were released commercially though I'm not sure. It looks like it's just on some generic pillow.
/wt/ threads used to be so comfy, now every time I come here I get angry.
Tudor guy here.
You're welcome.
I’m the one who took the screenshot, I definitely didn’t photoshop it on my fucking iPhone.
Someone also posted a link and people saw it.
you're right, my mistake
How do you feel about wearing heavier watches? My King Penis is surprisingly heavy.
Should I buy this or the casio diver
