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.

END OF DISCUSSION :3
Do you guys like to match your watch with your bead bracelets or do you have a signature bead bracelet you wear every day?
First for still waiting for more strap choices.
>nth for:
thank god for image filtering
I forgot to mention that the stock strap on this thing is miles better than the Seiko rubber straps that come on the SKX or the Turtle.
Ironic that the porn and fake tudor spamming paki cuck is complaining about shitposting on wt.
you have me confused, I am Speedmaster user, also OP of this thread
Nice trips
thanks
I like the variety they bring
How much of a sad existence is this that this guy literally spends his time trying to shit up the thread with bead posting when no one responds to him, most of us filter him out. All because we didn't like his dead-cunt grandmother's piece of shit watch from her lowly, middle-class life. I hope that there isn't an afterlife for her sake because she would probably be ashamed to see what a miserable loser her genetic makeup has become. Pathetic.
Post the family shot windy
Eh, I'll try paint anyway when I get the chance.
Middle post is mine, looks like the answer was yes
I don’t wanna get vanned
WRIST GAME
>falling for the patek meme
Alright guys, I had enough. Going to make an image filter list when I get home.
Post it here when you are done please.
Does you watch also remind you what you still have to do today? Mine does.
You have to 12 today?
Actually I twelve your mum everyday, if you catch my drift.
Are any of the informative regulars here still?
Yes, but unless a few of us happen to be here simultaneously we'll often just lurk.
After being here long enough I finally decided that Ninefag had been right and that spoonfeeding horology to shitheads was a waste of time.
Yes I'm here
A couple of them at least but lately a handful of dedicated autists have gone out of their way to shitpost every /wt/ and drive away anyone who actually cares. Watch repair user still posts nearly every thread.
Why are you jumping on the band wagon with beadboi and tudorfag?
I thought your shitposting days were over.
>actually care and want to learn
>beadfaggotry, Folex and Seikohate ruin thread for everyone
>I thought your shitposting days were over.
just bored today, posting random watches
Yep.
What do you want to learn about
Yeah, the one decent place to discuss this shit online, and some literal shitpusher keeps fucking it up.
Didn't beadfag just want a couple of apologies because of his inherited watch or something?
Maybe we should just do it and hope he stops.
I didn't even see the thread with the watch in question. That said, if it's the same guy posting all the bullshit, he can go fuck himself with that watch.
Pic related is what I do in my sparetime. Which watch suits my lifestyle, in the 4000-7000 range?
I come here everyday and I have no idea what you're talking about. I remember some faggot showing his grandma's swatch but I don't remember him being shat on. I'm sure beadboy is the same retard who was spamming the shitty Casio ana-digi and then grunstoff.
1000 casio f-91ws
Ask questions about the things you want to learn about. Speaking for myself, if I know someone is actually interested in learning I'm happy to take the time to share what I know.

This is no longer the highest beat watch with a balance wheel but it is close.
That's the ChinkBay faggot. I'm pretty sure he uses a bot to post all those images every thread. When his laptop was in the shop the picture spam stopped dead, and as soon as he had his laptop back it started again.
Not me
I just don't have the passion it requires to continue doing this.
Typical timegrapher trace for a standard quartz movement. Most basic quartz movements are designed with an inhibition window; the crystal actually runs fast, and then at fixed intervals the chip that counts the crystal pulses waits for more pulses before advancing the second hand. This causes the sawtooth shape on the timegrapher.
The favre leuba 25x series is the second production wristwatch movement in history I'm aware of with a "full" balance bridge (the first being the first king Seiko). The balance bridge actually only has one side secured by a screw, the other is kept in place laterally (but not vertically) by a pin.
Marine Chronometer design was actually a truly bitter and vitriolic rivalry between earnshaw and Arnold. The stern/biver relationship doesn't even come close.
This watch uses a slaved 24 hour hand in a nicer wat than the usual fake gmt (like Ball had in their watches that they had to apologize for). It's used to display an ancient Chinese timekeeping system based on 12 2-hour periods linked to the zodiac.
Even unserviced first-gen 36k movements from the 70s keep very precise time today
Cool info, thanks
However, the short power reserve caused very poor (relative to full wind) performance after 24 hours. These watches were automatic and guaranteed to 2spd for the first year (a marvelous guarantee that matched the accutron and is rare outside of modern Rolex) but we're expected to be worn constantly and therefore kept at full wind.
Unsurprisingly performance is fine after only a half day, so the wearer didn't have to worry about not keeping the watch wound through the night.
What is the repairability of these ana digi temp watches?

"No more"
Omega Aqua Terra. The dial is meant to evoke a teak deck and it's water resistant enough but not a dive watch.
Probably a bracelet / rubber strap version, but this is the only image of one I have saved.
>wearing bracelets
>not being a closeted fag
Pick one.
For that one guy who wanted kanji dates.
In my experience this tends to be true of pre-quartz automatic movements generally, though to a lesser extent than the 36,000 bph hi-beats, obviously.
One of the areas in which the engineering of mechanical movements has really improved a lot in the post-quartz era is in lengthening power reserves and improving power reserve isochronism.
