Hiya fellas
Nice Tag m8.
Casio reporting in.
Change that strap m8.
Give your brother his watch back.
Pic related.
Sell the one on the left and get an MDV instead

Your dates is running away.
It only seems to happen around the low to mid 20s, and then goes back to normal around the start of the month
So what happened with the Tudor male’s watch? I skipped about a week because of the endless shitposting
The fake guys? I think it let bubbles out when submerged and it's obviously fake.
>15 minutes into pure class and Squale and he gives you these thumbnails

>hahaha so funny ironic wacky faces running gag xdxdxd
Already have. Just curious to see how it would look.

qt, does your rabbit wear a watch?
THATS A FUCKING CHINCHILLA
potato, potatoe what’s the difference
IM LITERALLY GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU
/an/ pls
Please, think about your rabbit before you do something brash user, you don’t want to leave the poor fella alone, do you user?
Also what is the most horological animal? Maybe a cock? It works as an alarm
Fucking wristlets, when will they learn?
What the fuck is making this noise? See where the mouse is, it's a scraping sound that fucks up timekeeping, and I can't find what parts and where are touching. Movement is an early 28800bph ETA automatic, 2790 or some shit.
Posting Casio
>hundreds of cool quirky interesting Casio
>constantly forced memeing one model to death
Yawn.
there's some really cool old ones that never took off
Anyway so any other watchmaker anons have any idea what this could be? I don't want to take apart the movement unless the customer agrees to it (and pays it). So far it's no the regulator boot or the hairspring stud, nor an incorrect screw in the mainplate.
Pic related, it's a Mido ETA 2790 from the 70's, exactly like this one.
She wears a Swatch.
>infrared thermometer
A cuckoo surely?
Can you dig it?
i hope my collection can be like that someday
You need a genuine a158 and a silver or gold aq230
I like the Casios "timeless" models, but how could anyone wear this?
A databank would be the maximum for me.
Maybe those have a spot with some extreme nerd collectors.
what's the silver one at the top? i thought it was a158 but it's not
Kek, if you save up for a week or so it can be.
Nah the a158 is objectively worse than the Skmei, that has a metal case and EL backlight. The aq230 is too much of a meme, I might pick up a vintage Seiko ana-digi if I see one at a decent price.
It's a Skmei, a chink knock off of the a158 but with a metal case and EL backlight.
I wouldn't wear it either, but it's cool seeing all the things they tried
B-But it's a fucking skmei ;_;
Promise me you will get a genuine casio a158 or a168, at least when the skmei fails or the plating vanishes.
Okay, I promise...
got an F-84W-1 and CA53W-1Z coming in the mail too
Thank you user
Not bad, I prefer the looks of my dbc610 to the ca53.
Might be falling for the solar meme.
Reminds me of a pop swatch kek
Thinking of getting the new solar tuna when it drops as well. It's pretty much perfect tuna and I don't mind it being solar at all.
As a recent Tuna convert, I like this thing. The design language is quintessential Tuna (unlike the tuna monster abominations).
I'm just not sure I like the thought of this iddy biddy movement, see pic.
The 300m quartz tuna at least has the 7c46 which fills the entire case.
I also hate the X.
Is there a more 80s kino watch than this?
It's even got the same name as the plane in the most kino 80's naval aviator based action movie.
Yea it will be my first Solar. Solar newbie question but what is the serviceability of Solar watches/movements? Like are they more or less disposable tech or..?
My gf's solar so᠍yko is maybe 6 years old and running perfectly without service.
It's 80s but in no way kino.
Your anecdotal shitpost does not really answer my questions.
Who here / 1 0 E U R O C A S I O F R O M E B A Y/?
It's not a shitpost, I'm serious. Seiko's solar is pretty durable. Can't really say about service because as I wrote, it wasn't serviced. Should probably get a check up done soon.
I’m not a filthy papist
If I have only one watch and it’s a Swatch, what’s my first watch?
The detail on the gun on the right is really tasteless.
>muder appliance
>tastefull
A Swatch I guess? What kind of weird riddle is this?
just like the watch above it
Bracelet or leather?
I prefer the subtlety of the leather. Bracelets are pretty flashy.
I always assumed it stood for Swiss due to the Swiss flag used in marketing. Thats just retarded.
Nice sideways Swatch homage.
Rabbits are actual retards. Chinchillas are fairly intelligent. Almost as intelligent as rats.
They're also very social.
While I'm not a fan of bracelets, Explorer looks the best on it.
My rabbit is pretty clever. She’s potty trained and knows commands like food and to get in her cage.
I’d estimate that rabbits are smarter than rats and chinchillas desu.
>son why do you have so many versions of the same watch
>THERE NOT THE SAME THEY'RE DIFFERENT REEEEEEEE
>Franz Sprecher conçut la contraction de Swiss (Made) Watch : « S'Watch », qui devint « Swatch ». Une première conception aurait été « Second Watch », son but étant de pousser les porteurs de montres traditionnelles à s’offrir une deuxième montre plus amusante, plus attrayante.
French wiki says that «second watch» was the first draft and it actually stands for swiss, fuck knows, desu
The bracelet is part of the explorer imho.
You can't have one without the other.
Tasteless how?
I accept they are pretty much the same watch, I was given a watch box for Christmas and decided to fill it with cheap digitals so I'd be less likely to be tempted to fill it with watches worth 10x as much.
>rabbits are smarter than rats and chinchillas desu.
You would also be absolutely wrong.
Rats and mice can solve actual puzzles, recognize human faces, learn dozens of tricks, seek out human affection.
They are also extremely clean, which i also think it's a sign of intelligence.
overly ornate and tacky
Right. And this is your first time seeing engraving of any kind?
I was watching this auction hoping it might sell for cheap, now I'm watching it to see how high it goes.
not all engraving is tacky, but that example is (in my opinion)
That's what engraving always looked like though.
to be fair though he said he gets higher views if he pulls a stupid face in the thumbnail
why are you so defensive about that engraving lol
people have different taste
This is what engraving always looked like.
If you think it's tasteless or overly ornate or tacky, then you're talking about engraving in general.
go back to Jow Forums
"Engraving" is the same on watches too you pleb.
Xiaomi mechanical watch.
It's kinda expensive tho at ~$200.
looks too much like an apple watch
I bought an f91w and strapped it to my shower rod as a bathroom clock. I used to be someone that said why ever get an f91 when there's other cooler casios but it was hard for me to not wanna wear it. It's very sleek
The thumb nail that says he destroys a rolex is just a classless lie though
Just shower wearing it.
Is this how I'm supposed to wear my watch??
I’ve had rats before and my rabbit is much cleaner.
I’m sure there’s not much in it but rabbits might be smarter than you think.
Mine is free to roam so it just feels like I have a slightly retarded cat desu.
How is an animal that reacts to being wet by dying smart
