I tried to take some time-lag see video of my 1/100 second stopwatch. The timelapse was set for once every three seconds, which should have made the 1/100 hand stationary (and thus could be used to regulate the stop watch). Unfortunately I tried a few apps and this was as close as I got; it seems taking a picture _exactly_ every three seconds isn't something most time lapse apps can do. Citizen quartz that runs better than 1spd included for reference.

I was this close to buying a Pelagos, but their marketing turned me off the entire Tudor brand.

News to me. Why is that?

Again, sounds like you're not wearing a watch, you're wearing a brand.

Already fixed, which makes me realize this is probably the second smoothest screw-down crown of any of my watches.

But also, why does the logo on screw down crowns never line up right side up? It bugs me a little bit especially now that someone pointed out that the Prospex logo is actually an overlapping S and P and I can't unsee it.

thank you!

Did you cop this?

Attached: f91w_silver.jpg (488x488, 33K)

No I could only find it for sale for like $25+ 5-10 in shipping from europe.

I would buy it but I don't want to spend $35 on an f91

Neat

ebay.com/itm/Casio-A158WEA-1EF-Mens-Digital-Watch-Unisex-Resin-Stainless-Steel-Band-Silver/372182318248

How about this?

That's $34 USD

I would buy the silver F91 if I could find a fair price, I think it's mainly that you can't get it in the USA

>News to me.
Lol no it isn't.

>Why is that?
Because it shows how the people behind the brand think.

Awesome bro.
Remember to put it on the nato first.

awww fuck me, i do have prime i just didn't look because retarded

you are quite the bargain hunter i see

me not smrt

do you guys like my new rolex explorer

Attached: maxresdefault (21).jpg (1280x720, 92K)

Still no answer huh.

>Because it shows how the people behind the brand think.
Why does this matter? Isn't the watch itself a pretty good indicator of a creator's thought process? Why do you give a shit about how it's marketed unless you're focused on wearing a brand instead of wearing a watch?

So they use pretty much the original font while rolex uses more square numbers now. Which is better?

>explain branding to me
No.

>Why does this matter?
Nothing matters. Whoa.

GJ dodging it all. Deciding against wearing a watch because of the way it's marketed really does show you put more stock in what other people think of it than what you yourself think. You look at watches as a fashion accessory.

Get off my Jow Forums you fraud.

There's a reason Rolex gets to ask so much and keeps its value so well: its brand.
What planet are you even from?

"pls debate me and pay attention to me": the post.

>Get off my Jow Forums
Cringe.

>You look at watches as a fashion accessory.
Pretty sure Tudor does that when they use Gaga as their face.

Everyone knows that

technologically inept people who blame inanimate objects for society's ills are worse than any particular race or group of people on this planet.

I know it took me until I was in high school before I could actually read an analog clock face at a glance, and if I'm half asleep it may take me a bit of staring to realize what it's trying to say.

Jesus, I'll bin the idea of getting an w86 or f105w for my nephew and get him a pope watch instead.
