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.

Finally. A non troll or shitter OP.
Thank you for cucking the casio faggot out of a thread.
Xth for Casio
first for thank you OP for not being gay with a gay tudor edition. tudor = gay
How do you cope with the laughter whenever someone sees you wearing that?
Lmao basedboy watch on sojwrist
I just barely beat them sometimes, last week we had a good space watch thread
Reporting in
It's a shame your mother forgot about the abortion option.
Good job windyknob.
You are /ourguy/ after all, even if you like to troll occasionally.
my slava 2414 wont jump dates and stop right there, any suggestions?
haha thanks, I really like the video I post under "required viewing" nobody ever comments on it but I think it's really freaking good, do you like it?
Buy a real watch?
what makes you think that my watch is not real?
Wow, the Vostok SE020 I ordered only took 11 days to make it out of Russia. After all the horror stories, I was expecting worse.
Here's mine.
What are you wearing today?
You bought slavshit, what did you expect? Go get it serviced if you want it fixed, it probably hasn't been opened in years. Keep in mind that it will probably cost you more than you paid for it to begin with if you live in a developed nation.
I don't get it. What is this butt ugly Casio spammer hoping to accomplish?
user i though that you guys where over consumer shit and actual hobbyist that understand about movements and how to service them.
Im aware that if you go to a watch shop they will repair it, that's like pointing out that the sky is blue, okay so what? we established this point decades ago... now shut up and let the real professionals speak.
Yes I have seen it, interesting watch.
Are you 12? What the fuck information do you want then? Your shit is broke, fix it or don't, we don't fucking care.
This is the state of /wt/. Slavshit is bad because commies, not swiss or jap, assembled by drunk slavs, m'kay? Throw it in the trash where it belong and get a swiss shitter or spend thousands for /wt/ acceptance.
Slavshit. Very nice tuna, I like it on waffle strap. Is it uncle seiko?
one day user, you will be enlightened
Slavshit is called slavshit for a reason. Sure, there's plenty of decent and even good slavshit, but the average slavshit shitter from eBay probably hasn't seen a service in decades.
It's simple desu. Most of us have never even seen or used a 3rd world watch so this is the wrong board to ask about one.
Meet your new grail
Can you explain?
3rd world watches are fun though. I recommend getting one.
>new
>implying
I'd snatch one right away if I saw one in okay condition.
He has autism is all.
I have one, but I'm not going to be shocked and take to the internet when it fails.
>Russia
>3rd world
You didn't even describe the issue in enough detail or clearly enough for one of the watchmakers that post here to understand what exactly the issue you are having is, or how it might be fixed.
Also, you may have to wait a few hours for them to stop by /wt/ and see your posts.
Well, this is a watch thread. Can't blame him for expecting something.
The Soviet Union is dead, NATO is not, now there are only First and Third world countries, there is no Second world
Shoutout to the finance user who gave me advice in the last thread, just opened a TFSA.
Is it bad that I want this Omega? I told myself I'd never buy modern Omega but this is nice.
What exactly are we able to provide him other than "Go get it fixed"?
>we
ye keep hiding the fact that you have 0 fucks about watches buypig
Looks horrid to me, but buy what you like.
As long as you make sure you go handle it in person first and you are prepared to pay Omega's servicing prices every time it needs a service, its fine I guess.
>ye keep hiding the fact that you have 0 fucks about watches buypig
Learn English before you attempt to insult strangers on the internet in English.
An idea about which component related to date switching might be broken, I guess?
This is clearly not the thread for you.
Okay but explain the problem better. Is it failing to change the date overnight while the watch is running? Does it not change at all, or does it change partially and stop?
Please post beautiful blue dials and moon phases
You are clearly an idiot.
The navy sunburst on this dial is gorgeous in person.
Honestly the only thing I like about it is the aged lume look. I would buy the Chr Ward version but their atrocious logo is a no.
>Please post beautiful blue dials and moon phases
Where are my bonetto strap pictures and opinions, dad?
>Made in USSR
Do we get bonus points for both in one?
yes a pre 1991 watch that says that would be 2nd world
Yes it's uncle seiko, it's a pretty nice strap and less bulky than the stock one. Also reminds me of the SLA017 I should've bought when they were available.
Blue dials are GOAT.
MeisterSinger is pretty cool to say aloud.
I wanted one for such a long time, but the price they charge just cannot be justified.
Same here. I might pick one up second hand one day.
Yes.
I love MS's designs I just with they had minute hand versions too
Very nice color
This watch and the aL&S bronze blue and immaculate
.
Post watches.
Russia isn't aligned with the Soviet Union or the United States, which makes it third world according to your definition.
Newly gasketed penisquartz
>what is wrong with tudor
See pic.
I care about what others think in the way that I would like for me to have a pretty good view of me if I ever came across myself.
The clothes make the man, all that.
So what would be the recommended watch for tiny hands? im speaking about watches below 39mm
You mean this one?
F-91
I'm a wristlet and a BB looks great on me baka desu.
What's your budget?
Any vintage watch ever made?
already own one
to expensive. gold.. ewww
user no plis!!
400€
i had bad experiences with vintages, they break or have defect that make me dislike them.
1/2
No exactly a moonphase but
2/2
The struggle is real
I have to wear my strapcode oyster like this. They won’t send me individual links, is it worth it to buy yet another bracelet just to make this fit properly?
That's a big, shiny, beautiful wall. Trump would be pleased.
big man
You're a big guy
Wear velcro.
Anyone else get Mail today?
Don't fuck around and show what's in there.
Apparently I got mail yesterday! Was expecting it to be hung up in customs and didn't even check.
For you
Post your favourite shitter.
>a158
Just a catalog today.
Nice user. Slav?
Starry sky watches make me hard. Are there any nice ones in poorfag category? Or at least in 2k range?
Still waiting for the VC and JLC catalogs, already 2 weeks since I ordered, the Sinn one arrived in less than a week
>Nobody cared who I was until I put on the Solar Seiko
"If I take that off, will you die?"
>It would be extremely tasteless
"You're a big guy"
>UUUU
I am waiting on JLC only. The VC one so far is the least impressive of the Nomos, Lange, and Sinn. Hoping for big things from JLC.
The Accurist celestial is available on Amazon right now for $280 and has a working sidereal time star dial. Quartz. At least two wt regulars own one. I don't know if it's "nice" but it's certainly fine.
Sadly no Lange for me, but I didn't even think about Nomos, while I'm completely indifferent to that company, how can you refuse a free catalog?
