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.

Please don't feed the spring drive shitposter (You)s, this is the exact same bait as has been used on this subject dozens of times before, just search the archive if you want to see literally every argument on the subject.
Don't worry we won't.
Tuna is taking too long to get delivered.
Thoughts?
Where did you buy from?
The brushed finish on the dial is nice, but I'm not entirely in love the amount of rounding on the case edges, though at least it looks like its from the buffing wheel and not from excessive barrel polishing.
Yeah it's finished extremely well. I love the overall look of it.
How much does the watch cost?
Usually found for $2000 or so grey market. Retail is $3400, got it for $1000 through a jomashop on a flash sale that's going through the 29th.
>Yeah it's finished extremely well.
Well, I'd say it's finished pretty nicely for what you paid for it, but at MSRP I wouldn't really say so.
It's hardly finished at all
Yeah, at full retail I would expect better decoration of the movement and would be a little disappointed in that department. At average grey market of $2000 or so I would be alright with it I guess but at what I paid I couldn't be happier with it.
He's talking about external finishing, not movement finishing.
>Yeah it's finished extremely well
See
Shitco is for fags
fight me
Polished to hell and not finished at all are not the same as finished extremely well.
yeah i meant Seiko nip garbage
Are you looking at the same pictures?
You call this good finishing? Those indices look like they were finished with a band saw.
Post watches set to the wrong time and date
You might, quite reasonably, argue that the external finishing is mediocre or bad even, but it *is* finished in some fashion. I assumed you were talking about movement finishing when you said "its hardly finished at all" because much of the movement is unfinished, whereas the exterior is clearly finished in some fashion, even if you don't like how its finished.
wow, such classy and well finished tritium gas viles.
wear it in good health my friend.
Well, I'm a fag then because I like Seiko as much as Rolex and pre-quartz Omega and Girard Perregaux.
Two birds with one stone I guess.
> Yeah it's finished extremely well.
Not in this reality
> I love the overall look of it.
Good for you, that's all that matters.
Rolex is below nip garbage desu
Back from date with my nubile 19 yo gf
Just because you can't afford one doesn't make then bad.
here is your (you)
Got her girlfriend an f91w for the lulz
This looks like fucking garbage and you overpaid by about $900.
The movement in that watch nor the finishing are worth anywhere near a grand.
tell me she has feminine penis
totes
excellent
>this kills the poorfag
>This kills the poser with a fake watch
You know what's worse than buying a fake? It's buying a fake *Tudor*.

Your watch looks cool user
Also posting my old pic.
Yes by definition. Manly one of the synonyms but by the by
I just got a new Apple Watch today.
What are you Jow Forumsuys opinion of these? So far mine is quite lovely! :)
If I were a poser I wouldn't wear a NATO with a suit.
I don't need to prove my worth because I'm rich as shit anyway.
Well apple does goes with pork.
Perlon is bretty gud. Incredibly light and comfortable
>tfw I sweat so much I only feel safe wearing dive watches in the summer
jesus christ
You jealous or what
timex
ye jealous
What's /wt/'s thoughts on the seiko SKX007, yay or nay? The rubber bracelet isn't that nice looking imo so ill probably replace that.
Nay. The Ray II is a FAR better watch and cheaper
Do you care about ISO dive watch standards? If not, the Orient Ray/Mako 2 is more watch for the money. Do you mind quartz? If not, consider the Citizen 0150/0151.
If you want ISO compliance and a mechanical movement, then the SKX is the one to have.

Why do both of you look battered as fuck? One on the left has that horrific scar down the arm and the one on the rights legs are all torn up. Are you both out getting in street fights?
He's an older fat guy not either of those girls

Reply to this post if you mad jelly.
I won't judge.
Was your plating style inspired by fresh vomit?
I heard they are making a new series of Jersey Shore, you'd be perfect for it.
But those are men, jimmy

Doner kebab and spring rolls with a side of ramen and garlic dip.
Yes I ate it outside at 4:05am in my enormous garden while enjoying the relaxation of birds chirping as the sun rose.
Feel free to continue your anger.
seeing the side of this easily helped me decide against the new GMT.
it's like The Wall in GoT. And you're Cersei.
you seem desperate for validation user. Why don't you just enjoy your luxurious lifestyle?
What's the point in spending money if other people aren't around to gloat?
Post lume
Do you need a friend user? I think you need a friend. I'll be your friend user.
Again? Okay
perhaps if you didn't display such poor character you wouldn't be so lonely
But you haven't spent any money, it's a fake. That just means you're a deluded egotist.
I will cut your throat

Nice realn't Tudor
That movement is less decorated than a SARB ffs.
Yay, replace the strap with either a Strapcode super oyster or a £1 rubber strap from AliExpress.
My SKX was my first 'real' watch and I'll never get rid of it.
It's just a pretty standard elabore 2824, SARB 6r15 is a fundamentally equivalent movement.
How retarded would I be if I bought a STEEL BAGELSPORT?
You'd only be retarded to spend more than 25-30 doll hairs on that meme watch.
fug I wish they still sold at that price
Anyone know what exact amphibia model this is?
Are there any amphibia with sapphire?
It's awesome and looks better in person. I have the strap code bracelet but it's hard to adjust it right, a nato fits better.
