Swiss who?
r8 me
Is that the AR-15 of watches?
Glashütte ftw
That watch is so ugly the spring bars and strap want to get away from it as far as possible.
>That watch is so ugly
it isn't
Don't (You) me, pleb.
That's my watch & you're wrong but I still chuckled.
Those lugs are longer than my dildos
Not possible.
300k a year is still middle class?
The little Пoбeдa arrived. It's a neat little watch for $60, we'll see how well it holds time.
Helps if I add the pic
If the lugs on that were a bit shorter I'd be seriously interested in the DUW version.
Get a Metro or Minimatik then.

Yes.
The Minimatik would probably suit your needs.

Post divers on leather to splerg the splerglords.
Have you gone mad?
UPPER middle class.
Find his address and fuck his mom
Is that on your wifes sons wrist

Good morning wt
I'm not making fun that's not the wrist of someone over 18

yes it does bigot gender is a social construct
Kys if you unironically believe that, windy.
Completed, sort of. I accidentally destroyed the new caseback gasket (put it in naphta and forgot about it) so I had to put the old one back for now. So no sink-diving yet.
For hands and dial I used new Luminova, and then soaked the hands in coffee, and put a drop on each lume dot.
>Kys if you unironically believe that, windy.
genderqueer non binary here
Not bad.
Next project: servicing customer's tiny-ass ETA automatic.
Next to a 7S26 Seiko 5 for scale.
Morning.
How many idiots who don't understand that morning is subjective own king seikos?
You do know what subjective means, right?
This is the watch from the front. Some Glycine.
jot this down on your "To Do:" list
under "put out like a fire"
Why would I ever want to own an analog watch with a quartz movement tho?
>Why would I ever want to own an analog watch with a quartz movement tho?
it's a little thing called "style'
it's a good looking diver that you don't have to fuck with at all for 20 years and will always tell you the correct time without being wound
You don't want to have to fuck with your watch?
Why are you here? Just buy a watch and wear it and get on with your life.
>You don't want to have to fuck with your watch?
no
>Why are you here?
i like watches
>Just buy a watch and wear it and get on with your life.
ok
>it's a little thing called "style'
That's retarded. Analog quartz watches are for poor people with no taste. Leave style to the grown ups.
>oh boy, a slim, vintage-inspired, dive-style sports watch
>41mm
Fuck Christopher Ward. Fuck them.
Okay
That's an okay size for a diver, you wristlet
Good job destroying that komandirskie homage and making it a boring diver no. 906483.

How is that any kind of counter argument? There are countless seikos that look just as good, or better that aren't crappy quartz.

The SNE437 is more accurate than a Rolex user, and the finishing is on par with Omega
A mobile phone from the 90's is more accurate than a rolex too but nobody gives a shit
I do
hence the nobody qualifier.
Upper middle class is still middle. What I mean is, perhaps at that point it's more natural to consider it upper-class?
im somebody tho
I wear a 42mm dive watch most days, that's not the point. CW uses vintage themes, then sizes the watch like a modern one.
Also, their new logo sucks balls.
Thta's dunning krueger syndrome. Stupid people are incapable of accurately evaluating their incompetence.
>Thta's dunning krueger syndrome. Stupid people are incapable of accurately evaluating their incompetence.
I don't think that has anything to do with how accurate and high quality the SNE437 is
Even if he is a stupid person that still makes him someone. Feel free to admit you are wrong.
I'm a person
a person with feelings
if accuracy and quality determined taste and value a honda civic would be worth more than a 1960's ferrari but it doesn't work that way
if how much a watch was worth determined it's functionality and style everyone would wear a Patek Super Complication
Got a Suwa Type-II. Already had a Daini.
I originally got it as parts, but should I restore it?
Are you retarded? That's not the argument presented at all.
I guess you drive a 1960 Ferrari as your daily?
As much as I enjoy discussing what I drive I don't see how that's relevant to people preferring quartz analog junk over a mechanical watch having poor taste.
>As much as I enjoy discussing what I drive I don't see how that's relevant to people preferring quartz analog junk over a mechanical watch having poor taste.
Are you trying to argue that watch wouldn't be more desirable if it were mechanical? Because you'd be wrong.

when will the guuks learn
I want to get a ticket on the SKX meme-train. Need someone to extrapolate on what i'm looking for though.
-Japan or Malaysia made? I know I can save some $, but I would feel better knowing it was made in Japan, and seeing "Malaysia" on the dial would make me gag. Am I being too autistic?
-Black Bezel, Pepsi Bezel, aftermarket? Which design is best?
-Regardless of what version I am going to get of the SKX, I am definitly going to put it on a MilTaT Super- bracelet. I have had the Super-Oyster before and it was very nice, but I am thinking about getting the Super-Jubilee, and possibly maybe the Super-Engineer. Thoughts?
Get the j
Anyone have a list of Microbrands worth buying from?
The big brands are kinda stale this year.
Testing. Testing. NIGGER!!!
i took this earlier today. the lume on this watch "charges" more easily than any watch i have ever owned, including my former skx. it's been cloudy and rainy all day but it gets so bright that it creates bright reflections along the inner ring.
lol, what is the utility on pic related? It's a 24 hr bezel made for the SKX. How does this work on a non-gmt watch? It just doesn't, right?
Mine is Malaysian made and literally only loses 1.5 secs per day.
but brown guuks are smelly
