No brainlets allowed, discussion of Casio watches is welcome.
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, or other timepiece.

Keep the two digital Casios and throw the rest of that shit out.
At full wind for the zodiac SST. Not bad for no service history and 45 years old. This line of 36k movements (same basic design in the GP, FL, and others) had a short power reserve and therefore meaningful isochronism issues; I'll leave it off the winder and check it again tomorrow.
boring gaudy fashion watches kys
Post your customised slavshit.
ok
Xth for Casios can be heritage pieces too.

Slightly out of date and incomplete, but here you go.
Geez, that's not bad at full wind with an unknown service history.

Some recent stuff that didn't make the last collection collage.
are those swatch ones really worth >£100?
whenever they pop up on ebay they're absurdly expensive
only 2 more hours to bid
I paid $100 for mine. It seems like this particular one you can usually get for around $100 if you're patient and the auction doesn't get trolled like this one did . I waited about 6-8 months I think to find one at $100.
They're not really "worth" 100 in any sense other than being fun.
Alpenis.
Very nice, my man. Thanks, I was meaning to ask earlier but kept forgetting.
My rotation right now.
I feel bad using a Lord Quartz as a beater but it seems pretty solid and it's cheap.
SilverWave on nylon.
Geisterstund (GB192) is a mystery dial watch. Fun fact about old Swatches, you can't actually wear some of them. Their bands have dried out and will crack if you put it on. Check out this guy's cracked band on the ghost watch.

Good thing there are aftermarket options even for swatches weird lug style.
Geisterstund just isn't the same without the ghost band though.

Yep. Happily mine wears okay for now, but I assume it's just a matter of time.

i'm super jelly :(
I'm more jelly of his Omegar
The only Swatch I'm tempted by is this one which is exclusively given to Olympic Gold medal winners. It's only £115 so the same as that ghost one...
which
I'm bidding on another swatch now but suspect it will sell for well over $1k and I'm probably not willing to pay that much.
whoops, mistook you for this guy
Reference # on that blue/white Citizen bottom right?
>mistaking the 5 inch difference in their wrists
What Swatch is worth that much?
I was surprised too, because I don't think I ever saw the Lemania guy with a shirt, but I thought that his post was a response to that one
I'd change the bezel to the original one you posted. The upsidedown 30 is annoying.
It's got a bunch of numbers on it and to be honest I'm not too familiar with citizen's dial reference system. Best bet if you want one is just to keep search for citizen cosmotrons. I've seen two of this particular model in the last 18-24 months, although only this one included the bracelet. There are so many varieties of 7803a dials and cases it's almost impossible to find particular styles.
Not that guy but I've been on the lookout for 4 months or so now, didn't see one yet.
About that...
what
why are you bidding $440
so I could go bid $420 and you would still have to buy it?
Yep
is it a fake account you have or something? wtf
someone go bid $400 and make this user pay for his misdeeds
do it
Bar owner user reporting in with my g-shock and catalogues. How is your saturday /wt/?
Yep, I have two of any sort of account for social media, eBay, and things like that. One with my real name and one named Rusty Shackleford.
Have the catalogs been a hit with your customers?
Got my book from the Daniels/dufour/asaoka/halter/etc exhibit.
How much are you actually willing to spend on that watch?
but ebay is more strict than most sites, you have to tie PayPal to a bank account
are you not going to get banned if you don't pay? I have seen a friend do this and because he logged on to both ebay accounts from the same IP all the time they both got banned, ebay is pretty good at that since actual money and the integrity of the site is on the line when shill bidders fuck things up
Yeah, I usually wear plaid for wrist shots.
I thought you always wear flannel like a real Canadian should.
Not a penny.
I made it a while ago before PayPal accounts had to be linked.
While it’s possible my legitimate and troll accounts will be banned it won’t really effect me since I don’t actually buy anything off eBay anymore. I went through a phase of impulse buying shit on there and realized I needed to stop wasting money. The only reading I bid on this one was to be entertained by this thread.
he only does that so he can pull the watch down to his hand and cover his arm down to the watch and hide his obesity
Don't bully pls, he's gonna leave me his datejust.
Yeah, flannel plaid.
(You)
Someone go bid 400 plz i need to see what happens
Are you the guy with the gold tone watch on brown perlon?
One of the straps I wear my 16233 Datejust on is a brown Eulit Palma, yes.
I can't stop browsing for and buying watches.
I have 7 watches and trying to streamline but still find myself looking for watches for specific purposes.
Canadabro, what's a nice cheapo knife to get?
He's literally wearing it in that picture.
Go on Jow Forums and ask in the current knife thread general and I'll give you some suggestions.
I feel stupid and colorblind now. I couldn’t tell what color either of those were to save my life.
That looks great, I say this as someone who doesn’t like Rolexs on anything but bracelets.
Personally I like four and five digit Datejusts with flitted bezels on straps more than on bracelets. The only way I'd keep a vintage DJ on the bracelet is if it was a smooth bezel on an oyster, like pic related 16200.
*fluted not flitted.
There were a few regulars that really liked them, but those dudes are watchfags anyways. Also some random dudes have looked at, mostly the lange one. Since yesterday (when I put it out there) two random lads looked at the omega one.
lots of dudes and lads
ever see any chicks??
Swapped to red strap for the weekend. Having a Bergeon 7825 makes it so easy.
Any Toronto fags on here? Heading to RDV on Tuesday for a hands on of the Basel releases. Looking forward to see the Pepsi on Jubilee.
As soon as you get a chance, sell that abomination and get a good looking rolex.
Unironically this. I don’t understand how yachtmasters have any appeal.
>Any Toronto fags on here?
Yes
>Heading to RDV on Tuesday for a hands on of the Basel releases.
Cool, only new Swiss release I liked was the BB58, tho my local Grand Seiko dealer is supposed to be getting an SBGH267, so I should check if I can see it before it's gone.
Dogshit, kill yourself.
Nice indexing on the minute hand.....
x2
>not getting the green map version
Nigga please
That swatch bid needs to go up
That wasn't fun. Just changed the crystal on this, the 3rd party one that watchmakeranon put on for me was cracked due to it not fitting properly, so I've always meant to change it for a Seiko crystal. The original crystal exploded when I removed it, and my shaky hands didn't help putting the movement back in place, but it's all done and the crystal is the proper one with no cracks. Happy days.
What bracelet is this? It looks different from other penisquartz bracelets
It's a DJ kind of day
There's a big variety of bepis bracelets. That one was likely taken from another King Quartz because the 0852 didn't have a bracelet like that.
As long as it’s from another King Quartz. I was worried it was from a type 2 or something.
I’m pretty happy with it anyway
Got a picture of the case back?

I won’t have it in person until a couple of weeks.

What?
why not
those toes tho
I just bought it. It’s shipping from Japan.
>I just bought it. It’s shipping from Japan.
you got it for $16 USD?
its broken, user
>Being this mad
So I just found an old pocket watch in an attic, likely needs servicing but it ticks and so far is keeping pretty good time.
Ew, that strap.
Nice Batman but how do you guys type on a flat keyboard?
This
As far as I can tell from the description *something* is cracked, the bracelet isn’t original, and I’m assuming the “battery is dead so idk if it works” is code for “it’s broken but I don’t want to tell you”
I’m going in complety blind on it.
could just be a dead battery
That's all I needed. Here's the watch you've bought in the Seiko catalogue from 1976, as you can see the bracelet is different (XQB260 is the reference for it). I've no idea what model the bracelet you have is from, but at least it fits properly so that it lines up with the case, most replacement bracelets don't and look terrible.
