This thread is about the appreciation of watches, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

Tuesday is caturday for JDM watch owners.
post some motherfucking cats
Nice penis user.
Anyone ID what watch this is? Where can you buy it?
You don't have to prove you report all other OPs but yours, I already knew that.
Molnija pocket watch conversion.
Don't buy it.
Are you sure? It looks a lot more modern than a pocketwatch franken
Post blue dials NOW
I didn't knew that brand was still alive, at least the case and dial seems new. Also it has a modern size considering the cushion style case.
ILLEGAL THREAD, OTHER ONE WAS POSTED FIRST
FREEZE MOTHERFUCKERS
I HOPE YOU LIKE THE TASTE OF PRISON FOOD
Yes, I am 100 % sure.
If you want something with similar looks, look for Vostok 2403, if you want soviet horology.
Okay
WTPD, THIS IS A CRIME SCENE
ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES NOW
Nice fake.
kek
I'm pretty sure it's a redial as the printing on the f doesn't look quite right
What are the dimensions of this?
MODS MODS MODS
31x27x10
I got the pic off Ebay, so yeah it's probably a redialed Subhuman-Special, i.e. and ukrainian franken.
Interesting
Believe that's it
I meant my Hamilton is a redial.
Are smart watches a meme? I kind of want one, but I don't think they are all that useful. Changing music player tracks might be convenient, but that's probably all I'd ever use it for
They are a meme.
It's gonna be worthless after 6 months and it's such a pain in the ass to charge everyday, don't make the same mistake I did user, for the price I paid a few years ago I could have gotten a nice watch that would still be useful today.
I like my Baby Tuna but I'm kinda having a tiny bit of regret on not jumping on the Turtle bandwagon.
It's not a watch-normie's Seiko like the Tutrle, but it's way less versatile.
preordered
Hmm. Should I buy the globemaster?
this is the superior thread though
Some of the fitness stuff might be useful and you can have almost anything you want on the dial, but they're all finicky as hell
Here.
What movement?
How do I justify spending 3.5k on a watch when I could invest that money in bitcoin
I *really* want the speedy
Reminder to always use your camera's lowest iso setting
I usually justify buying stuff by wanting them and having enough money to afford to buy them without meaningfully impacting my lifetime savings.
Well my main worry is that in 2 years that 3.5k could've turned into 350k and I left with a piece of shit watch to remind me of my mistake
I have 700k to my name but I'm just a jew
Do you really believe that bitcoin will grow so much that you will have a meaningful gain with a 3.5k investment?
>my main worry is that in 2 years that 3.5k could've turned into 350k
I mean, that seems unlikely. If you're worth 700k why not "invest" 3500 in Bitcoin and but a $3500 watch?
>don’t go on /wt/ for a montg
>check it out
>nope.jpg
see you in six months, fags
looks like a good way to break your dick
Kill yourself, cunt.
I honestly pity your life
Well why don't I just invest 7k in btc then?
Hm I guess I'm really not that attached to the watch then. Didn't have those thoughts when I bought my other expensive toys
Is the SRP777 (aka Seiko Turtle) worth the price? Or are there better alternatives to this watch?
Its kind of weird that you take so much pride in your fake watch that you actually go out of your way to take nice pictures of it and posting it here.
Are you seeing a shrink about your mental problems?
you think the watch means anything to him? It’s a tool for him to engage in his mental illness
>lying on the internet
sad
Longines VHP or a citizen?
Lol I have this exact problem. Last time I was on the very verge of pulling the trigger on a watch, I flip-flopped at the last second and dropped the 4k into crypto instead.
Now I'm at the same stage again.
If you like the size and style of the vhp it's fantastic tech for the price. Otherwise go for the chronomaster but pay about twice as much.
>not keeping money in fiat
Fucking plebs, I will sure enjoy my deflation gains
It's not a fake you degenerate.
That single coil tuning fork. I'm really surprised citizen bothered licensing both the accutron 218 and 219 from Bulova.
You say replica, everyone else says fake.
It's neither of those things, it's genuine. I have the receipt to prove it.
What's the easiest mechanical watch/clock to service? Is it a vostok, whatever is in the Seiko 5/skx, or an ETA?
Probably something like an ETA 2801 or 6497.
This
Thoughts?
Probably the ugliest Lange they've produced. Not their best work.
good technology, hoegly design, expensive enough to be out of my price range for life so I can’t say that I ever give it much thought
Swiss handwinding watches from the 60's and early 70's. We kinda reached the end of the tech-tree with those back then.
> Hey user, you're in New York, why does your fancy watch say Caracas every summer? Is its GPS malfunctioning?
I really dislike off-center main dials.
I'm not a fan of asymmetric dials in general but the Lange One isn't bad at all.
This is a very nice watch, I'm in love!
Thoughts?
Pretty.
Is there any merit to those watches with lacquer dials, or is it just some silly gimmick?
>want to buy a Cellini
>no way I'm spending $20k on a watch
>have to wait for it to go down to at least $10k
How long do you guys think I'll have to wait? A few years? A decade?
>not domed
I bet that looks amazing irl. Seikos always outdo their pics, especially Seiko's own promo pics.
How's life in New York?
Are blue bezel and hands ok? I don't have any blue dials right now.
Why would you want to buy a Cellini? It's uglier than a daytona. Just get a nice DJ or DD like a thinking man.
You can already picked them up second hand for around 11-12k
I never really liked Rolexes. I saw a new Cellini and personally I think it's far cooler than a DJ or DD. Hopefully Cellini's less popular status will play in my favor on the second hand market.
I've seen vintage ones cheaper than that, but I like a newer model.
Tulip season just ended, was lovely this year.
That's what I meant. I've seen recent Cellini Dates or Time only models for less than $12k on Chrono24.
>tfw wasn't born middle class so you actually have a value of money and can't justify spending hundreds or thousands on a watch
Why even live
Bright sunlight really shows off the dial texture but then it also shows up all the scratches on the crystal.
Get a job. Spend a couple years living with your parents. Not wasting money on food or rent for a few years really adds up.
Are you complaining that you have too much money?
That just means you're poor.
Yeah it's pretty damn good.
This.
>are there better alternatives to this watch?
The 775 with the 777 strap
>piss yellow
Nah, don't listen to this guy. Get the 787 instead.
I like the look of the Vostok Komandirskie K-34 watches and they're pretty inexpensive, should I pick on up Jow Forums? if not, any similarly styled alternatives?
