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.

Previous thread
Why do some black dude who fantasize about white girls always try to ruin these threads?
White women are absolutely addicted to having black cocks in their shitter, but can you really blame them?
hes tudorfag, one of the permatrolls in this general.
Start buying Tudor Black Bays.
>spreading the word of black supremacy
>trolling
You realise white men literally can't compete with black cock, right? No woman in her right mind would settle for your white dicklet when she can have 10 inches of black dick.
White women were made to be bred by black dick. Black semen is so powerful it's capable of impregnating white women even through anal sex.
Look at the passion in her face, that's the power of black cock.
White men should be castrated at birth so that no white woman ever has to degrade herself and have sex with a pathetic whiteboi.

This guys videos are gold if you like vintage digitals
Gross
This one is good looking
Straight for the shitter, the power of black cock negates the white women's concerns over class and taste, total sexual overload.
Look at that bright red stinkhole, that's how you know a woman is turned on.
Too bad about the tatto, if not for that she'd be quite pretty
Is there a young persons Rolex?
Nice start for a thread
A Tudor would, as ironic as this sounds, given the person posting this porn has a realn't Tudor, be a young person's Rolex.
The issue I have recommending one is that the in house version is too thick and the eta version just feels wrong. You would be better off waiting 10 years for then to get their shit together.
Reporting doesn't go jack shit, at least not on Jow Forums it seems. And hiding doesn't stop them from contributing to the thread's image limit. In other words, sweeping a problem under the rug does not solve said problem.
Sometimes I forget that it's still the weekend in other parts of the world.
Might have to ignore the thread all day again.
>Reporting doesn't go jack shit
f5, idiot
Rude.
There is no other way to solve it and giving them attention certainly doesn't help.
BOOM and the porn is gone.
Do any of your watches fit on your dick?
The BB58 fixed the too thick issue.
where the anadigi gang at
Only anadigi I have.
I owned one of those when I was a kid. Weird seeing kids these days sperging "nostalgically" over them
>diameter 40mm
>lug width 20mm

A truly sporty Grand Seiko at last. I think I'm in love.
Used to have this Citizen but I sold it away since I didn't like it that much.
Also lume.
Reposting from last. Whoever has been asking about my huldra, there's a black one for sale on watchrecon.
Happy Lazy Sinnday /wt/
Ericas Originals Strap is the best strap I've ever bought.
Nice red second hand.
Nice Seiko homage.
An Explorer II.
Is this board dead or dying?
>39mm
you're blocked. don't bother responding, I won't be able to see your subsequent posts (ever).
Everyone else can though.
It’s not like 39mm is huge....
SubC no date is the only one I can think of. A Daytona, too.
No. Just ignore all the shitposting from the perma-trolls, most/all of the regulars are still around, if not very active on the weekends when this general is a festival of retardation.
sweet,
how much will it cost upon release?
Is the price of this 556i worth it, compared to an Hamilton Khaki Field? The latter lacks AR coating, a screw down crown and has "only" 10bar WR; of course it isn't as nicely finished as the Sinn, but it's literally half the price with the same ETA mov't. What do you think?
nah
$3,575
time to start saving
I feel like is in uk finally get a good deal with the exchange rate with £2560
ESP with brexit
Well the H557-5099 predates me by 6 years, so it's not really nostalgia for me, I like exposed screws and chunky protective bezels.
Reading the article Hodinkee provided on their Sunday reading list about saturation diving. Interesting read.
atlasobscura.com
wooo right before you leave the EU and England's economy collapses irrepairably! get those deals, wooooo!
is 39mm.... too small for a diver?
No.
Yeah it's definitely worth the price. 200M resistance in a sports case, lovely case fishing, great dial contrast, I could go on about how happy I am with the 556.
The movements are not the same and are now even less the same. The Khaki field recently switched to the Powermatic 80 movement design with plastic parts and is basically disposable on service. Back when it was a 2824 the khaki was a standard grade where the Sinn uses a top grade movement including better shock resistance, materials, and accuracy. Mine averages about plus 2-3 a day.
Yea. It is. Divers wear small. 39 is only good for wrists up to 6.5 inches.
>is 39mm.... too small for a diver?
If your using it as an actual dive watch yes.
Otherwise no and size doesn't matter at all.
>Yea. It is. Divers wear small. 39 is only good for wrists up to 6.5 inches.
Bullshit. The Rolex Submariner is 40mm and looks more than fine on wrists of any size.
Does anyone know if MWC watches are good?
the strap will make or break a diver, don't be that idiot who slaps it on a NATO and you're good
divers belong on rubber, btw
I bought this chink shit on Amazon. Everybody tells me it is a horrible watch. But I like it.
What do you think about it?
I'm only halfway through. Jesus Christ what a story.
Whelp, looks like my SE020 is over banking as it's running near +0 SPD off the wrist dial up, and on the order of +100 SPD on the wrist kek.
I can't WAIT to hear what my crumedgeon of a watchmaker says about this thing when I bring it to him.
Christ m8
Ok, thank you
But afaik powermatic 80-based movements are serviceable(can't find the link now, but on a watchuseek post an user got comfirmed by Tissot that the Powermatic 80 were serviceable; it doesn't specify if they just swap the mov't or if they actually fully service it, though)and are most likely free-sprung(source:forums.watchuseek.com
It's not a complex fix, and doesn't require a full movement disassembly. Just need to get some more lubrication into the mainspring barrel, as that's the usual cause of the issue.
Plastic is desirable as a material in some applications. Is the powermatic 80 the eta version of the swatch movement or is that a different one? Because that movement uses plastic everywhere because it's cheap and doesn't need lubrication, the jewels are replaced with it in the escapemant.
Bump
Just bought an Elektronika 5. What am I in for?
THERMAL QUARTZ WATCHES
watches powered by body heat.
Do they exist?
Matrix powerwatch
For thermal power don't you need a large temperature delta and body temp to ambient temp for most people for most the time would be very small.
>saving up for a watch
The do make watches powered by body movement. Don't even really need to move, just jerk off
I got hit by a car and skidded hard on this bad boy and it's still working fine.
week since last tracking update lads. Hopefully it reaches aus today/tomorrow, but god knows where it'll go in China
F-91 > Rolex
Glad the watch is okay. It's the most important thing after all.
>survives a car crash that burnt and exploded
Doesn't count because Hammond can't die
Neither can his watch from evidence
Just because hammond is immortal doesn't mean the sea-dweller is. Though surviving that fiery crash is a good indicator that it just might be.
What does /wt/ think of the new Cartier Santos 2018?
Personally I've never 'gotten' Cartier and have never liked any of their watches.
Oversized cash-grab garbage that's openly trying to appeal to millennials
If I wanted a diver, oh wait I've got a diver already and it's the same size. Why would I want a dress watch that looks like a diver
It's not a diver my man. The Santos was the first pilot's watch worn by Alberto Santos-Dumont. You need to cleanse yourself of that AP brainwashing.
The case/bracelet is interesting, but the dial seems out of place to be honest. Would be nice to see how the movement looks too.
The movement looks like this. It's a undecorated, in-house movement. Cartier is in the process of transitioning all its mechanicals to in-house. The Santos uses a solid caseback so you wouldn't see it anyways.
I really like it.
Also ITT people who don't understand the horological importance of the santos
>It's not a diver my man
Do I look like Cartier? Tell them, not me
Bracelet is cool
>muh horological virtues
Have you ever seen an early Santos? The answer is no, it's a rhetorical question
The jet crash was the real proof imo. He got really fucked up from that. He really shouldn't be walking 2bh.
