This shit is not technology, I'm glad the based mods are finally bringing the hammer down on this shit. I was getting tired of seeing this spam shitting up Jow Forums.

Kill yourselves you fucking spammers.

Looks like /fa/to me.

Get this fucking spam off my Jow Forums.

/wt/ is technology.

Rate these beads, I like the multiple colors, it brings life to the wrist.

But it takes material engineering and precision manufacturing to make a bead bracelet, it is technology.

What if they had a watch with:
Mechanical seconds hand but quartz for the minutes and hours?

No.

Which one would you choose? How well does the in house Tudor movement do?

Attached: lume comparison.png (2864x1310, 2.9M)

The Tudor is obviously better than that Omega shitter.

The Omega.

>shitter
elaborate pls


Even with the mismatched lume? I know they do it on purpose but it still looks off to me.

I like the two color lume. It makes distinguishing the hour & minute much clearer.

Next time you see someones heirloom watch, don't mock it.

I've been trying to find an in depth look at the Tudor inhouse. I haven't been able to find a pic or video of it disassembled yet

There isn't anything out there, I've tried too. Some say it's an itteration of the Rolex 31xx movement but I suspect no one is going to admit to anything because if it is that's bad for Rolex and if it's not it might be bad for Tudor. The ETA 2824 is common but when done well (as it was in the BB) it's an excellent movement.

This in house movement craze is going to have some baby with the bathwater problems. I suspect a lot of in house movements replacing good 2824s will not be as good as the 2824.

Rolex/Tudor service center drone here, the 54xx, 56xx, and 58xx in-house Tudor movements are super hidden. on our Rolex service website where we can lookup movement and case breakdowns and order parts, we can't view the 5xxx's. the only parts for them we can see are the hour wheel and the auto weight

Can you talk about the 2824 in the Tudor? How was it, what sort of differences to the generic "top" grade did you notice?

I havent seen the new stuff. the heritage black Bay reboot is too new. I only do after sales servicing.

but I can tell you their eta before then is pretty much stock. I'm wearing a 2013 Tudor 7753 and it's all stock except for a Tudor branded rotor. the case is really good though. Tudor casing is the exact same materials as Rolex, just different styling and branding

Hows your wrist game this fine day /wt/?

Seriously, what the fuck?

Attached: image-parallaxe-32710435006001-large.jpg (1600x900, 215K)

I'm not surprised. The MT 5xxx is probably too close to the 3135 for Rolex to be comfortable revealing too much about it widely. I would be surprised if you couldn't get the MT 5xxx to achieve Rolex's +/- 2 SPD standard if similar effort was expended on its adjustment.

You are fucking retarded.

>wanting a tonneau cased Speedy
>not buying an L5100 equipped version
But why?

is there anything similar to this that you guys can recommend?

I like this watch but you can tell it's beaten to shit and. They all look like this and they're all $500-1500 which is just a rip off for an old, beaten up, mechanical watch that will require major service. Features I like
- very small compared to modern watches (32-35mm)
- baton indices
- decent lugs, not hooded or otherwise ugly
- simple, classy
- domed crystal is a bonus


I don't give a shit if it's quartz, new, old, whatever, I just want this aesthetic and I want it to be a good value

me again
I also like this, similar reasons but different style obviously, and this may be too big

I also like roman numerals as long as there's no seconds hand and no seconds markers

There's raving reviews wherever you look, not sure why I don't see anyone talking about this. It's a fucking bargain.

38mm is on the higher end and outside of the range I posted, does it wear small? I have tiny wrists and I want a classy, traditional dress watch.

Whats your wrist size? 7 inches?

hahah, uh, again, I ask you too, whats your wrist size? 6 inches?

What else would you store watches in??

in your gfs jewelry box?

Half-assing it with a chicom tier amazon special. Looking to get a dedicated watch case at some point doe.

Good looking watch.

I can see pictures of the movement, but not a breakdown. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the pictures.

it looks closer to the 32xx line. the auto weight has the same ball bearing and pinion attached. can't see how many reversers are in it, but I think I remember reading that the 5602 is bidirectional wind. the setting bridge is completely different from any of the 3xxx. the calendar drive system is also different. it has a clover wheel with date ring teeth recesses. not sure if it drives it or sets it, can't tell if it's instantaneous.

I'm sure someone in here has a 5612 or a 5652 Tudor, tell me whether that date change is instant.

WHICH FUCKING ONE?

The citizen 0100 has not yet been out in a production wristwatch and there are tons of more accurate quartz clocks that don't live in a wristwatch. The most accurate quartz production wristwatch was the citizen 4 mega at 3spy. The most accurate production wristwatch (that doesn't just use radio or gps to sync itself) was the hoptroff atomic watch at 0.001spy.

Well that's not very nice.

When you go into so much debt buying expensive watches that your wives (multiple) leave your fat ass, there's not much niceness left.

He's your typical /wt/ luxury enthusiast wearing men's jewelry well beyond his means for the sake of flaunting.

so the Omega, breitling, Tudor, Rolex level is midtier?

I really am a poorfag

Anything that isn't a Rolex is a shitter.

top irony my good lad

How do you like it? I’m seriously thinking about buying one but have to drive 2 hours to go see them in person at a GS dealer. I might do it this weekend. I’m looking at this exact model.

I like it very much, remember that the battery needs replacement every 3 years;)

101% Faggot. The skin color alone is a fucking joke man.

Name of watch?
