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.

First for digital pocket watches.
wow this.
I'm going to commit sudoku.
Was the previous thread the first /wt/ thread in 48 hours that didn't get fucked by jannies?
last thread was great thx anons
>wow this.
>I'm going to commit sudoku.
I always ask young girls when I meed them if they will wear watches for me so I don't accidentally start a relationship with a girl who is not horological
Yep. I didn't look through it all but it looked like there was a usually noticeable poster missing.
This. No trolls or spammers. Just people who enjoy watches.
I think windy pulled some strings and got them to stop sending us to /fa/.
Yes but this one is already off to a bad start
>buy casion F-91w as backup watch
>main watch battery goes flat
>switch to F-91w
>have to fix the time on it first as it's fucking way out of sync
>sync it perfectly to a web clock site
>come back 24 hours later
>casio F-91w is already almost a second out of sync
What the fuck is up with these watches, I've never had a watch before that sucks such hard dick at keeping time accurately, seeing as I only ever use it as a backup I don't care much, but it's definitely not worth all the praise it gets if each one has a variable rate of accuracy.
How come windy would be able to do that?
post next watch purchases
9 USD

> Not an in-house movement

Why?
MMMOOODDDDS
MODDDDSS WHAT THE FUCK
DO YOUR JOB
GET THIS DOGSHIT OFF MY BOARD
MODS MODS MODS
>>casio F-91w is already almost a second out of sync
That was nice of him
just filter
They've returned :(
I wish these faggots would get a life and shit up somewhere else.
damn just 3 off
Who? I can't spot them honestly.
It's actually within the official +/-30seconds per month spec
There's a youtube vid that explains how to regulate it, but it's hard to do
Btw all my ultra cheap casios go for -0.3spd costantly
>audeshit blingay
You forgot:
>50m micro water reservoir
Why indeed.
>vintage digital edition
Sounds good to me.
When did tag heuer become "tag + heuer"?
1985
Lmao all the watches on sale are extremely expensive.
This wasn't such a good idea after all. I'll pass.
are you looking at their new stuff? their new stuff sucks, it's selita movements and overcomplicated casing
No, I was looking at pre 1985.
They do have one new in-house movement tho, just so you know. But I'm not buying that watch.
Vfa? Never heard of them.
old heuer is pretty nice
Yeah but sick expensive.
Any new developments on the silicon movement? Or just those 8 special edition ones so far?
Just those so far.
Pretty sure this faggot is complaining about the digital watch edition.
Anyways he should just kys if hes this sensitive.
Autism combined.
>second hand doesn't move every time the escape wheel moves
>irregularly ticks every 3 to 8 half-beats
The fuck is wrong with this thing? The camera is capturing every oscillation so it should be able to capture every movement of the second hand.
He's best mates with the Bogs. They sorted bb and the admins. All thanks to windy.
Pre-tag heuers are on a rise, you better get one now tb.h
The running theory here is that it is a result of an indirectly-driven second hand. In that video, I was holding the watch in the air and presumably it was moving a bit (although not much). I have another video (but not on my phone) where it is braces against a table, and the stutter is no longer an issue.
So, maybe something like this.

ls it true that Patek Phillipe is for fucking old people?
I think you can wear PP and not fuck old people
>I think you can wear PP and not fuck old people
I don't wear mine while fucking granny.
Seriously though it's simply because it's usually only old people that can afford one.
Calculator Watches
y/n
recommendations?
i fuck my 60 year old dad in the ass while wearing a 70s seiko quartz so i guess not man
In for Panatime.
Date window spoils it.
I know. It is a dirt cheap pilot though and satisfied me enough to not buy the Laco I wanted...for now.
Not exclusively, they are for homosexuals of any age as well.
How else could you afford one?
Gotta get that sugar granny present
>Can't even buy this pos without buying a more expensive watch first
Seriously
Made my first watch purchase after lurking for a while
Did I fall for the meme lads?
>not the amphibia
It's a good meme, why did you get an Amphibia with a Komandirskie dial though?
Black scuba dial is best imho.
That is an Amphibia.
>get an automatic
>gets banged up easily by impacts, in a few years you might not be able to manufacture the replacement parts
>get a quartz
>vulnerable to EMP, might not be able to find batteries in a decade
>get a sundial ring
>The surface is irradiated from radiation in WWIII and even if it weren't the sun was blotted out
What the fuck am I supposed to use for timekeeping in the post apocalyptic future?
>not the amphibia
It’s the 710 case
>not the amphibia
It was just customised that way and I’ve always liked the little tank face as gay as it sounds
After I'm done restoring this: what next to add to my poorfag vintage japshit collection? Like something obscure.
6ft of rope and a chair with a wobbly leg
>didn't get the amphibian
hey today i got pic related but the bracelet doesent have any kind of pins so i can shorten it pls help based watchmaker
I wish I had one to give my cum to.
Jesus Christ this is embarrassing
Does it have these things in the back? If so you need to push them out the side, which is hard as fuck already, let alone without proper tools.
But either way I'm going to bed now so fuck your problems for now.
[spoiler]it doesent[/spoiler] but thx
You have a citizen 5800 and a hi-sonic right? Could get a gx to compare to the hi-sonic.
What's the best site to buy a Vostok Amphibia? I'm looking for one with a black bezel insert
I'm starting to like the look of vintage digital watches, especially pic related. Are second hand ebay the only place to buy these?
Meranom.
They'll spec one however you like for $5 so long as you pay for the parts you want installed (very cheap).
Just be prepared for it to take a month+ to get to you.
What font is the date indicator on this? For me its reminiscent of an older watch, which is pretty sweet. I'm thinking about getting this soon, the Casio MTP-1302L-1AVER
Thanks.
p-pls
Casio is the industry leader in dive watches designed for use in deep wastewater wet well excursions.
n
Just buy an A500WGA-9
Or is Jow Forums autistic about casios being shit becuase of memes
Are trying to tell us that you stuck your hand in the toilet to grab your poop out
no calculator watches at all?
I have a watch you handwind and its always losing time
How do I not..."overwind" it?
Its a Rolex Air King
I'm trying to say that if you have to go diving in the dangerous deep waters of a 30 foot turd collecting basin, accept no substitutes.
take your pick
Just wind it until it stops. In any reasonably modern watch (like since the 50s), you'll break the stem before you break the mainspring. "Overwinding" is a myth.
>Rolex Air King
Into the trash.
I like the middle one and the far right one.
w2c?
Orient ray II vs skx007. Aesthetics aside, what is the legitimately superior timepiece?
Ray II because it doesn't say Seiko on it.
Ray II, not even a question
Look for/make a stainless steel tough solar G-Shock with the module cased into a Faraday Cage, like the Milgauss.
I don't know how hard to make something like this will be, but at least theorically it's really good.
>batteries problem
Batteries of solar watches,as Casio itself states, will last for about the lifespan of the watch itself(read in the official FAQ of Tough Solar)After the 10-15 years lifespan many speak about the battery will start losing the maximum potential capacity, but it will still work for a long time.
Wait, does it actually stop? I have a watch with an nh35 movement and I go like 25 full rotations without it stopping or even getting noticeably more resistance, never have the balls to go past that.
How though? Is their in-house movement that much more superior or is the crystal and case that much more superior?
A hamster in a wheel is superior to a 7S26
