Took my 007 camping for a couple of days and remembered what a great watch it is. It got rained on and muddy and banged on rocks and it didn't skip a beat and the lume was perfectly visible from sunset all the way to sunrise. Is there a more perfect beater watch out there?
>>51256332
I took a hell of a spill in some mud on a mountain with mine on. Quick run thru the shower and tried to get the mud out from between the rubber strap and watch and it's good as new.
>Is there a more perfect beater watch out there?
Probably not
Decide my next watch.
>Budget:350
Love it with all my heart. Favorite daily by far
>>51256332
Nice. I also just got back from a camping/road trip. Where did you go? Sub and I slept in -3°C. I've been thinking about getting a 007. How long have you had it? Have camping picture of greasy watch.
>>51256332
im just in love with that tritium glow
Tiny Paul Newman.
>>51256465
Somehow I forgot to take a wrist photo the whole time I was there. I was at Garner state park, it's in the Texas Hill Country. It's normally really full but the weather was pretty shit so it was actually pretty nice and quiet.
>>51256473
Well it's not tritium but yeah it's great and bright.
>>51256534
>Garner state park
Sounds good. It looks like they have some beautiful lakes there. Well, I only remembered to take a few wrist shots, and most of them turned out weird since I'm still getting used to my GoPro.
>>51256332
the movt is shit though so i guess there's better beaters out there
>>51256642
It's pretty cool. Enchanted Rock is still my favorite park in Texas, though. I still haven't been to west Texas yet though, Big Bend and the other desert parks are supposed to be amazing too.
>>51256766
Yeah I'd love a 007 with a 6R15, but so far the movement in mine hasn't had any trouble. Which is odd because I had one of the really cheap Seiko 5s with the same movement and it shit the bed for no reason and I didn't beat it up nearly as much as the 007.
what watch should i buy my girlfriend? :^)
>>51256871
just get a bf
>>51256817
I wear my Mako all the time as daily driver because the SKX013 power reserve doesn't last more than 12h on me usually. Gets me mad.
>>51256871
Whatever dogshit fashion watch she likes
>>51256871
If she's not actually interested in watches then honestly just a rose gold fossil or Michael Kors or some similar dogshit. People who don't give a shit about muh mechanical watches aren't going to appreciate one. If she is interested then ask her what she likes, duh.
>>51256817
Probably got beat up before it got to you. There's no reason to actually expect it to fail prematurely.
>>51256817
>Enchanted Rock
Now that place looks neat. I spent five days driving up and down the west coast. I saw a lot of cool places and watches. Lake Tahoe was pretty damn cool. A bit too cold though, otherwise it would have been a nice swim.
Who Drive here?
>>51256332
I don't know how people say their lume last through the night? I have a skx007 and a ray and the lume doesn't last for more than a half hour before it becomes faint.
>>51256642
10/10 photo
>>51256871
I wish they make them in men size. Much more minimal than the men's offerings.
>>51257287
Are they used? Lume probably faded over time.
>>51257287
Well yeah it gets dimmer over time and the nuclear bright glow only lasts for a few minutes, but it continues glowing faintly for hours and your eyes can pick up green light very well. I can easily see it all night long if my eyes are adjusted.
>>51257287
It should be pretty easy to see in low light for at least an hour. The thing about "all night" is most people don't wake up in a completely pitch black room, so the lume can be difficult to see by that point. But in darkness it should remain visible far longer than a half hour.
is this a meme yet
>>51257287
My Submariners lume lasts all night. Granted it's a little more expensive than the SKX007.
>>51257122

>>51257495
>u Camry m8?
Sienna, mate. 3.5L V6, it's a pretty fast van.
So I was just at an Omega retail store, been planning to buy a Seamaster Planet Ocean, and the dude there said that I'm best off getting my watch there. Is it worth it with the 4 year warranty if I'm paying like $7000 for it? A grey market dealer can sell it for much cheaper but I'm really worried about potential fakes. Any Rolex or Omega owners wanna help me out?
>>51257681
>>51257681
Should at least consider getting one used as long as it still has the box/papers (aka warranty card).
>that feel when I was about to buy a grand seiko but put that $7k in VTSAX instead
feels good man
>>51257706
>>51257724
Looks like that Bob's watches place is within driving distance, nice. I'll consider going there.
>>51257749
Shoulda put 7k in investments AND bought a GS, fuckah.
>>51257681
>$7000
I would not pay the kind of money, for a Planet Ocean. I have too many friends and acquaintances with horror stories of their Omega's just breaking/stopping on them. I'd personally look for used or get a Rolex, if I had to buy new.
>>51257788
Yeah, I can go to Bob's watches and get myself a used Submariner in good condition for only 5 grand which is literally half the MSRP
>>51257579
>Sienna
Basically a very large Camry.
But yeah, the 2GR-FE is a powerful engine. Even though it's several generations old, I can easily outrun my sister's F30 328i, mostly because the BMW turbo-4/automatic combo is clunky, noisy and rage-inducing. The 335i with the N55 I6 is the only 3-series that can outrun a V6 Camry and thus the only one worth buying.
>>51257749
Good decision. If you don't have 7K just laying around, then never blow this kind of money on a fucking watch. ffs it just shows time.
For 7K one could have a lot of fun, why waste the money? These prices are only justified if you resell those watches and profit on them. But watches are not stocks, they are harder to sell and sometimes you'd have to wait for years.
>>51257810
That would be the better choice, if you ask me. Also, I personally think the Sub looks better than the Planet Ocean. I'd grow tired of the way the Planet Ocean looks.
>>51257842
Getting a luxury switch watch is basically equivalent to getting jewelry, that's the justification.
>>51257815
Sounds about right. Lotus' use a modified 2GR-FE for their Le Mans. I like it a lot.
Why do people buy Fossil and Michael Kors? They're all quartz and have absolutely no character or charm. At least an F-91 W has a certain charm to it that you can appreciate. Or a Seiko 5, or an Orient Bambino.
People who wear fashion brands don't know much other than "aesthetics are everything, and Rolex is the best brand of all time."
From Russia with love.

There's your answer m8.
>>51257815
>>51257904
I'm actually looking to buy an MX-5 at the moment. It's hard to find that perfect 1.8.
>>51257877
I am a man, so i understand what it means to get a luxury wristwatch. No need to explain it to me with womans logic, m8.
It is a waste if money, if you are middle class.Period.
There is so much more pleasant things one could get for that amount.
You have to be pretty dead inside, if you cant come up with interesting stuff to do and shose a watch instead. Having it as a status symbol? well that is pretty beta if you have nothing interesting going for you, besides your watch.
>>51257929
>Why
Same reason they won't buy a Vostok. Brainwashed sheeple.
>>51258013
Personally I wanna buy one for myself when I graduate. And honestly I don't have much else to do with a few grand. Party? Hate 'em. Vacation? I'm content at home. New car? My G35 is fine, I don't need to change it.
>>51258031
Ok i see, you are not the most social person. Enjoy your watch and several K$ less in your pocket, you could have invested and made even more.
>watchfags unsocial autists
seems about right.

>invested
I'll stray away from real estate and stocks, thanks. Unless that's not what you meant.
>unsocial autists
That projection thing, you're doing it again.
>>51258067
I bought my watch with money earned from investments. I like watches.
>>51257904
The 2GR-FE that Lotus uses has been so heavily modified that by the time they're through, it's pretty much unrecognizable from its Camry beginnings. Although apparently TRD makes superchargers that will fit just fine on a stock 3.5L.
>>51257966
If you're getting a Miata, buy a penisquartz to match the car.
>>51258013
>It is a waste if money, if you are middle class.Period.
Not if you're upwardly mobile and consider it an investment.This obviously assumes you're smart enough to know what to buy so as to retain/increase value over time, ie. buying used etc.
>>51258016
desu unless you regularly visit 4chin or watch forums you probably have no idea anything other brands exist let alone vostok. Shipping from Russia also takes time and might seem a bit unusual to some. You can beat vostok in term of price+performance+styling. If it's more readily available and popular then more people will buy it. But you probably don't want that do you? Just let them waste their pleb money and fawn over my $70 meme watches.
>>51258085
>That projection thing
Nope, i am social and like watches, i will just not waste money on inflated mountain jew shit. It just feels like being ripped off. Everybody knows how the swiss have price agreements and i am not the kind of person who loves being milked.
I like the style of some luxury watches, so i'm probably getting a replika, just to have fun with the design. The movement...well i don't care about it.
>>51257749
Or travel to Japan and buy a used one.
>>51258138
>investment
fully agree about that. A lot of people do that but just for me it would be to slow, and i like to see fast results, not wating 5 years til it's worth something.
>>51258123
>If you're getting a Miata, buy a penisquartz to match the car.
The Miata isn't that gay.. Well, I'd like a penisquartz anyway. I'm looking for a 1.8L in good condition - the plan is drive it daily and eventually turbo it.

I heard 1.8 is the way to go from some reviews. Maybe I should just sell my car and get a miata after its fixed.
>>51258666
I personally like the SARB065 when it comes to that general style
>>51258689
>Nice twodoor. Getit? Ka ka ka
Hehehe. I git it.
Yeah, I think the 1.8 is the way to go too. Selling your car is a, for a Miata, is an idea. I've always liked the CC, though. It reminds me a bit of the A5. Good lines.
I'm thinking of getting pic related ( G-shock GWG1000) , thoughts ?
I adore Casio products, and looked for MTG-s1000 but its over my budget , so is GPW-1000

Tfw no money for s5. S3 or s4 seems like a more realistic goal for me right now.
This is my third accident this year and I'm always the victim. Is someone out to kill me or does Toronto just suck ass.
>>51258721
The more Orients I see, the more attractive they become to me. It's basically the same company that makes both brands. I came close to getting a Curator but that 41mm size put me off.
>>51258779
The latter.
>>51258764
I like the dial layout as far as the ana-digi part goes, but otherwise i'm trying to understand what the fuck am i looking at.
>>51258782
On a grand scale of watches, yeah. Orient, Seiko, and Citizen are the big three Japanese watch brands that all generally go for the same prices (The latter being slightly more expensive than the other two).
>>51258779
>third accident this year
Woah, I've never been in an accident before, so probably Toronto. The dream is S7-S5-S4 (RS7 if I'm allowed to dream real hard), but with taxes, and general car prices here, sports versions like that are pretty much unobtainable. Maybe one day when the business is going real well. For now I'm looking for a Miata, so I can have some fun.
>>51258800
No wait, look at the review first and the say what the fuck that even operate:

>>51259048
Where did you buy it from?
>>51259009
As somebody who goes trekking quite often i'm digging the features of the watch, alitmeter, temp sensor, and a barometer.
I'll just sum it up quickly.
>Various useful functions
>Solar charging
>Radio sync to atomic time
>Sapphire glass is nice to have
>Dial is well designed and isn't too busy
>Hands are simple and are utilitarian but still have a nice look to them
>Mode selection is overall quite nice, and the hand showing the selected mode is well implemented
>The "Smart" crown is interesting, but seems a little difficult to get used to.
>Timezones mode and zone switching while saving your local time is pretty neato
However
>There are cheaper G-shocks that can do the same functions and even a little more
>It's unnecessarily thick, as shown by the reviewer.
>Basically no lume
>Shitty Casio led illumination strikes again
>Sapphire glass is scratch resistant, but it's not as shock and impact resistant as acrylic and mineral. Aka a big nono in all weather watches.
>The banana yellow strap is kinda ugly, the Army Green/Black versions are a lot better.
So unless you're a person who enjoys the outdoors or in the armed forces and actually need such functions, 500burgershekels kinda of an overkill for all of that.
MAN ON THE MEEEEEWWWWWWNNNNNN FUCKAS
>>51259356
>>51259302
Thanks for you input.
>There are cheaper G-shocks that can do the same functions and even a little more
The G-Shock rangeman GW9400-1, almost the same, smaller too, but the colors are crappy and the whole digital layout make it a little childish.
>Basically no lume
>Shitty Casio led illumination strikes again
True, thats actually one of the down point I spotted while searching about it.
>Sapphire glass is scratch resistant, but it's not as shock and impact resistant as acrylic and mineral. Aka a big nono in all weather watches.
Is there any Casio watches with acrylic?
If no, what do you suggest instead of that watch.
>>51259486
Hard to say really, i like simple Casio's like the 5600 and the black rangeman looks neat.
Otherwise i guess some of the other G-shocks that are in the 1000/1100 bracket are okay, some of them are like 250~300 shekels.
>>51256445
Change that strap
>>51258635
>>51258624
>>51258265
Hey /wt/ whats good about nato strap?
>>51259599
Adjustable, isn't metallic, doesn't pull on your arm hairs, easily replaceable, etc
>>51259638
>>51259599
Adding to what anon said,
Comfy, a lot of different styles and colors, can fit on pretty much and wristsize, cheap as hell (And even some of the better ones are relatively cheap), water exposure isn't an issue like with leather straps.
Basically the perfect start for a beater watch.
Got me another one of these super comfy and soft natos that one anon with a Shturmanskie shared.
>>51258764
That watch is gigantic, so you'll probably look like a tool unless your daily wear isn't paratrooper, combat diver or oil rig worker gear.
>>51258666
The company? That will cost you quite a bit.
>>51259599
It also dresses down a watch for a more casual look.

There's something just off about that date window. They never seem to get it just right.
>>51260346
It's just out of focus.
Tisell Flieger anon here.
First impressions:
>Good build quality.
>Stock band isn't great and barely fits on my wrist, but it's not bad by any measure.
>Lume is pretty good, better on hands than the dial, but still works well.
>Can confirm heat blued hands.
>Crystal is sapphire and very slightly domed.
>Movement is nicely decorated.
Overall, it's a he'll of a lot of watch for $150.
>>51260346
My problem is that they don't match the color of the date wheel to the dial. So many companies do that with so many watches and it always detracts from the look of the watch.
>>51260159
Good job, overpaying for an ugly fieldwatch.
>>51260346
This. Not only ruins it the lineup with the big numbers it also puts the 15 out of the line of the small numbers.
A clear sign that hamilton didn't give a fuck about designing a proper dial for the movement. They slapped just shit together and knew some mouthbreather would buy it.
>>51260484
Looks like a knockoff of the Stowa Flieger.

>Must be a copy.

>>51260372
No m8, your eyes are out of focus. One does not have to be autistic to get annoyed by bad proportions. And proportions is what makes a lot of watches very unique on a subtile level.

>>51260618
consider it next time when you buy a watch at that price. It's fun mocking you and all, but i only do this to prevent others from paying for hamiltons lazieness.
I love how they solved the problem in this model.
>kek
>>51260686
I noticed it before buying it, and didn't care.
>>51260681
No, a fake Stowa is a portable man's Stowa.
The flieger design is a universal and historical design - whilst Stowa was one of the first to make it, they weren't the only company making it.
By your logic, a Seiko 5 flieger is a poor man's Stowa.
>>51260681
>a flieger is now a status symbol
Are you even serious m10? This fugly watch costs 1270€ Every person with a job could afford it.
I'd get the cheap one, because obviosly nobody, besides some lonely permavirgin on a forum would care about it.
>>51260581
They should have just removed the 15, like you always remove the 3. Also by the position of the date window it looks like they put in a movement originally meant for smaller cases, a sign that the Khaki is well on its way to becoming tryhard fashion garbage. Like how some modern Dodge Challenger have fake, non-functional hood-scoops to imitate the old Challengers, like the one in Vanishing Point.
>>51260730
>Portable
kek
Fuck autocorrect.
>>51260740
Yep, they either got a cheap, smaller movement or made the watch slightly bigger, to be noticed on the wrist. Fuck the watch industry and their 42 mm 36-38 is a perfect size.
>>51260626
>This is why humanity is not ready for logo and text free watch dials. Logos should be put on the fucking underside of the case.
I bet you also get frustrated when the different colored foods touch each other on your plate or when you accidentally step on the unpainted stripes of a crosswalk.
>>51260484
It's the 43mm seagull version, right? I've been looking at the 40mm miyota version, but those blued hands don't really do it for me. Their 40mm subs look really neat but I'd prefer one without the cyclops, and their bauhaus should really have the date window at 3 o'clock instead of replacing the 6 o'clock numeral. It's still amazing how they sell hacking and hand-woundable automatics for less than $200.
Why would I want to spend money on an inaccurate clock when I already have an accurate clock for free on my smartphone?
Is this like those retarded audio-purists wrongly claiming that Vinyls sound better than CDs?
>>51260484
Kek when people buy DW instead of this
>>51260626
That makes no sense. What's the point of the logo under the case? Nobody will know what brand you're wearing, which defeats the purpose of buying an expensive watch.
>>51260953
Correct.
Honestly, I think 40mm is a bit small for a flieger. Of course 43mm isn't really kosher either, it still looks the part.
But either way, it's a great buy and ticks all the boxes for a good flieger.
>>51261007
Fliegers are ugly too f@m, field watches is where it's at, nigguh.
>>51261016
But the logo in the dial takes away from the flieger design.
And, in the case of the Rolex/Tudor, they've gotten extreme in the amount or garbage they're printing in the dial.
You don't need five fucking lines of wank to say it's a Rolex and that it's rated to 30 atm.
>>51260994

No one's claiming that they keep better time than a smartphone, it's basically jewelry that's socially acceptable for a man to wear, also having a machine as complex as a mechanical watch on your wrist is just kind of cool.

How difficult is it to insert a custom bezel? Also is there a bezel like this for it? How much will it all cost in total?
>>51261772
If I were you I'd look up Seiko Fifty Five Fanthoms.
Either DIY or completed (used or new) on /f29/.
>>51261807
But the font is all wrong.
>>51261772
There's a guy called Boris_gvb on eBay and he sells both bezel with inserts and some with no inserts.
Just buy any Seiko insert you like and glue it in there.
>>51261750
Seiko styled pepsi insert or just a simple blue insert like the one Meranom has on sale in his site.
>>51261750
wait what the fuck
That sneaky fuck meranom has two nwe Amphibia SE models on his site, and those two looks pretty good actually.
The 120case one looks great.
Can any of you guys identify the watch in this pic???
>>>/trash/27435
What kind of watch should I buy my GF?
Perhaps a SARB035? I think the white dial would be a nice contrast to her dark skin.
>>51261973
Ah, back with the fakes again are we?
Tag @fakewatchbusta on instagram and then come back.
>>51260953
You can select the location of the date window for the Bauhaus style watches. I think they do 3, 4 and 6 versions.
>>51261959
You linked the wrong post. It's some Rotary.
>>51261990
How do you figure it's fake? I suppose a pleb like you has never seen a real AP in your life.
>>51262010
It just looks so bad, if it is real, they probably sold it to you at a huge discount because it looks like shit.
Post movement btw.
>>51262021
I'm not white either. But I prefer to stay with my own race.
>>51260953
You can still get the bauhaus with the date at 3. They introduced a model with 6 o clock because people asked for it.
>>51261833
Have your own custom dial made then.
Will probably end up costing as much as the watch.
>>51261976
Buy her a womans watch unless she has comparatively massive wrists.
My gf can't wear up a 36mm.
Oversize is disgusting.
It's doubtful that she'd care for a mechanical watch, most women don't.
Gold tends to work better on dark skin but her preference should dictate that.
>>51262030
I really don't know how to post gif or webm, besides it isn't a clear case back. So much jelly in this one. Why does /g/ get so mad when people have more than they do? Is it that hard for people to imagine people buying 20k watches? Here's my 6k chair...
newbie to the watch scene here (im a poor student. cant afford nice things for another 2 years.)
got this second hand (last owner had it for 2 years, excellent condition though, no scratches on the mineral glass)
my first G shock
retail 350, bought for 140.
>solar powered
>displays times of home city + another time zone
>the usual g shock features, 200m water resist
>full 3 analog hands
>alarm, stopwatch
>limited edition, cheaper version of the g-3000, since no tough movement or atomic timekeeping (im in australia, cant get the signal anyway)
was it worth it?
>>51262066
If she does care for a mechanical though, there's the SRRY011.
>>51261750
>he felt for the slavshit meme watch

>>51262071
Sure thing lad.
>>51262066
Yeah, I'm not really sure what kind of women watch is good, any go to brands that are known for their watches?
Right now she's wearing a shit tier guess quartz watch, which looks like garbage, has some diamond bezel and was 200 euros. It feels like it's one of those watches you win at a fair.
Looking to spend 200-300 euros on it.

No wonder you're fat, maybe if you had a worse quality chair you'd actually get up once and work out.

looks like a great cabinet, too bad i'm going to hate it in a few years. at least we got rid of the bad man, though,
>>51262134
soz. laptop is 4 years old. camera is pretty shit.
kinda just got it cos i saw it on ebay as an auction. won at first bid.
>>51262080
Dude your bezel isn't aligned and that's bugging the shit out of me.
>>51262080
just out of interest, when do you actually wear it?
I cant imagine myself wearing anything >300 bucks to anything except formal occasions.
What do you guys think?
I think it's a great beater watch considering all the abuse i've put it trough
>>51262395
That watch is meh as fuck.
>>51262395
It's not dogshit i guess.
But it doesn't even seem like it went through any abusing, just a lil bit dirty.
>>51262463
It should look alot worse considering it's just mineral glass, i wear it to work everyday and i occasionally hit it against brick walls and steel pipes.
I also like the desingn considering it costs the same as a fucking ICE watch

I doubt its fake. Got warranty card and all that stuff and casio comerical. Don't think they do that on fake stuff

both engines are slow as fuck and you'll get outrun by 10 year old mini vans anyway
it makes literally no difference
if you're planning on turboing later you might as well just put a different engine in anyway
>>51262080
show us that one at different angles
the dials on those yachtmasters is 10/10

If you are willing to spend sumo money on an SKX you can have a 6r15c and AR sapphire crystal put in one, problem is that it becomes a bit pricey for a beater at that point.
>>51262080
It's just sad to see when people have enough money to get pretty much any watch they want and then they choose something with an ugly gaudy design.
>>51264279
to be fair
the yachmaster in that configuration has one of the most beautiful dials I've ever seen in person
its a solid disk of platinum

Wrist size?
Broke the winding stem on my SARB033 in airport security while travelling. What do? Send it to SeikoServiceUSA when I get back to the US?
The time is close to correct but I don't want to wear it for fear that dirt will get in the hole.
>>51264534
miats engines aren't expensive anon

>>51264610
Turbo the old 1.6 and it can make 200hp.
The 1.8 is just fine.
>>51264604
What were those animals doing? I just put my Amphi on the tray, it comes out the other side of the x-ray machine and that's it, no one ever touches it.
>>51264681
If you have those body scanners at your airport then you just leave it on too.
>>51264706
I don't, aren't those scanners magnetic?
>>51262772
ur in the uk, huh baus?
can't find in the us
>>51264681

I broke it. I got it caught in my backpack strap and snapped it off. Security and passengers hunted around for the crown until some woman 20 feet away found it.

Get a bit of blu-tack over it.
>>51264837
Wow, you're a clumsy dope. Get a diver or a digital.
I thought these were supposed to last?
the rotor broke off on mine
I sent it back to the seller and I'll get a new one, still sucks though because it's my first and only watch
>>51264746
The body scanners are not afaik, the metal detectors are.
>>51264884
You're also a clumsy dope. Also you could have replaced the rotor yourself, but you seem to be a butterfingered you probably would have jammed a 10mm screwdriver into the escapement and then into your eye socket.
>>51264951
You're right, but I never traveled to the Orwellian Burgeristan so I only been through metal detectors.
>>51264987
t-thanks?
>>51264873
Sounds like a plan.
>>51264882

>>51264987
Where are you at
>>51265357
Yurop.
>>51265386
Anywhere good?
>>51264837
That's too bad, man. You should be able to get it fixed though. Reminds me, I've gone through metal detectors, without them going off, while wearing my watch. Strange stuff.
>>51265451
Haha, no.
>>51265459
Stainless steel isn't magnetic, most of the metal in a watch isn't except for the screws and other small parts like that which probably aren't enough to set off the metal detector.
>>51258391
Yet another in a statistically improbable number of people from Southern Ontario in these threads.
>>51265489
>Stainless steel isn't magnetic
Then how are handguns detected, dummy? Kinda defeats the purpose of the metal detector.
>>51265489
You would just think, that they should be able to detect steel too. What holds people from carrying big steel knifes in their pants, then?
How to spot fakes: http://trustytime.imgur.com/
>How easily a type of metal is detected depends on magnetic
permeability, which means how easily the metal is magnetized
coupled with the electrical conductivity of the metal. Material
that is easily magnetized and more conductive is easier to detect.
The hardest metal type to detect is stainless steel, which is usually
non-magnetic and a poor conductor of electricity
I guess this is more complicated than just a matter of whether the metal is ferromagnetic, but still apparently stainless is pretty hard to detect.
>>51265516
Are handguns even stainless? I'm pretty sure they're mostly made out of carbon steel but I don't really know shit about guns.
>>51265544
Stainless steel and carbon steel are not the same thing at all. Most knives are carbon steel because it sharpens better and it's stronger than stainless, carbon steel is easy to detect.
>>51265544
It's not like a metal detector is a big magnet, otherwise metal shit would just get ripped from your pockets.
It creates an electromagnetic field and conductive shit inside it will create its own field and cause detectable distortion
>>51265628
>>51265666
Ok but that's also a lot bigger than a watch.
>>51261517
As long as he has the balls to take strong positions and stick to them instead of being your typical milquetoast Canadian politician, I'll be happy.
>>51265688
>>51265628
>Stainless steel and carbon steel are not the same thing at all.
I wasn't saying that. I was implying that people could just make their own big stainless steel knifes. Sorry if that wasn't too clear.
>>51265638
Yeah I'm aware of how they work. I wold just think that a 150 gram of steel on my wrist would be detectable. Maybe the detector weren't even turned on, it was Greece after all.
