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, Casio aq230, or other timepiece.

Quartz superiority.
Xth for that guy who bought a aq230 years ago and is now afraid to use it and apologizes for owning one.
>Haha this so ironic nerdcore hispter watch
>It's really shitty, look guys I hate it too!
>Omg I just hate this watch so much, I could never actually use it.
>posting that same shitty reaction image every thread

I wore it during the retro hipster wave of the late 00 early 10s. No regerts.
>Saving a bunch of reaction images so you can please some autist's ocd.
I don’t apologise for owning one. Why would I even do that?
I apologised for posting the high quality macro shots of the movement/dial which gets spammed a lot.
I still wear it to work every so often but the scratches are getting pretty problematic.
Comfy 5mm thin rectangle today.
>43mm
That's really dressy.
How's the plating holding up?
fake tudorfag should post his fake tudor in that Jow Forums thread where they're jerking each other off about how many ponzi schemes they've been a part of to buy a rolex
>>posting that same shitty reaction image every thread
Get your whore out of here too.
Why do you hate women bro? She is a sweet girl who is full of love and would never sell her young body
...
Seriously take your gf back to r9k. I don't even mind you being here anymore but don't post your ugly gf.
Plot this, windys nubile gf left her and he reverted back on dreaming about cute teens like the r9k fag he is.
You make me cringe.

I have not even been posting here that long
Is the guy who got the white dial amphibia here? I only see one of those 020 cases and it says the bezel is bidirectional and nothing about it being clicky.
What is the consensus on Seiko Silver Wave's?
Great watches
Is it a bad idea to leave a chrono running all the time like a second hand?
Post watches set to the current time.
yes
now THATS a pussy magnet
If a watch is waterproof is it also sawdust proof?
Yeah, pussies are drawn to buy Vostoks for some reason.
I assume the copy pasted that from their other listings, because as far as I know all se020 models have unidirectional rotating bezels.
Yes, unless it has a vertical clutch.

Dirty & scratched/10
I've literally got that watch
Post pics f a m.
Vintage LCD is best LCD.
Damn right
Rate my collection.
Fan of your collection user. You need an amphibia.
Very nice.
Thank you.
I have never been a fan of dive watches, but I have though about getting a amphibia with 420 case.
Have to find a proper mint soviet one and I might go for it someday. Currently I am satisfied with my collection.
>mods delete the tudor shitposter posting the r9k girl
>he proceeds to throw a webm shitposting tantrum
Yup.
Yea 420 case is nice too. Maybe even go for an amphibia with the blocky paddle hands. But yea your collection makes me want to collect vintage Russian again.
Thread went were tudory, why do you do this man?
gf didn't let you watch her getting fucked today or something?
To elaborate on this incase anyone's not aware. The 50th anniversary ones are similar to 214s but aren't actually part compatible, meaning you can only really get them repaired by bulova.
>beta orbiting
>cuck porn
>fake Tudor
Yep all checks out. Also guess I will just leave this here.
needs a new battery but there you go
now I look at the OP again I see it's a totally different model, whoops
Don't worry about it.
I had one exactly like this, except the case was in worse condition. I sold the module away as it was fully working.
What's smaller, a molecule of water or a particle of sawdust?
shh, don't ask user complex questions
>spede
torilla tavataan?
post the backside of your watch
Heh. I'd drop pics of Michelle Obamas cock for the laughs too. Just can't find them right now.
Can someone post the fakes(?) of Michelle with her cock out?
This is on the back of my Vostok. Anyone translate?
>now THATS a pussy magnet
Something about the lines for potatoes being long, and finding a rusty nail to carve inscriptions with
My Russian was never good and now it's also rusty but it's door 50th anniversary of something.

I had one of these that said grand seiko on it. It was before I knew anything about watches and was given to me by someone and it's lost now. I guess it was a fake but I wonder why someone would waste the time to put the gs logo on a seiko
>10 year anniversary watch in soviet union
>swiss made
Utter herecy
Well, at least the commie serbs who had it managed to keep the case in good shape. I gave it a crystal replacement, a light polish and now it looks really good for its age. Going to buy an lizard strap for it in a few weeks.
Post dial
It's the green, I think.
Gruen* fucking phoneposting.
Yesterday pic with half the polish progress, only the right side is polished on this pic, as you can see the left side have no reflexion and has many scratches. Now is completely polished and it looks really fine, give me a seconds to get a new pic.
Nice, what did you use for polishing? Is it safe to do with gold coating?
What are these straps called with a back peice and who makes a good one?
Actually that's starting to look really nice.
I would be very careful with the plating though.
don't wear that bro
Bund straps
Why?
It's called a bund strap. It was originally worn by pilots in case of fire which could heat the metal watch up and burn the pilot. I read that somewhere.
They should be avoided like HIV.
How did you learn Russian?
because wearing that on a cheap watch literally only goes with a trench coat and fedora and too thin beard
unironically
Thanks
>They should be avoided like HIV
Is it considered a poor fashion choice?
I just want something functional.
I don't plan on wearing one on my bare wrist.
A regular bracelet or strap is perfectly functional
a three inch wide strip of leather really is not
I had it in junior high.
They're just really not in fashion right now because they were associated with rockers and goths.
but they dont teach russian in america
>but they dont teach russian in america
DID HE FUCKING SAY HE LIVED IN AMERICA
Wish this cunt would stop being posted.
I get douche chills every time.
Russian is not my strong point either, but some guy named Genady Pavlovich was an associate for 50 years, I think.
>I get douche chills every time.
why?
Did you just assume my nationality?
>I get douche chills
?
Because this prick is only posting to try to show off.
Douche chills are the chills a lady gets when douching with cold water.
IT's also the cringe chills you get when you see someone acting like a douche.
show off what?
>work at a place for 50 fucking years
>receive a vostok from the company
What watch do I cop if I'm too piss poor to afford a Speedmaster? Has to be automatic.
