WATCH THREAD - Fuck pretentious tripfags edition.

ITT: We talk about watches without wanking off over "horlogie".
Previous thread:
>>51328565
First for AUTOMATICs and fat Canadians
>>51356691
but how can see time :^)
>>51356782
Fuck I remember that thread. Was good bait.
This shitty old Mido is up for 26$, was considering getting it just because but seems really fucking beaten up to shit. What do you guys think?
>>51356827
Guess it's one of those first autos
>>51356827
Also there's this one for 39$, think i'll get that
>>51356922
Original bracelet also doesn't look too bad
>>51356931
Have fun trying to open the case.
>>51356964
i have no experience in servicing watches so i don't even plan on doing so
Bought a watch on eBay off a seller in Japan. I've asked him to undervalue the item on the customs declaration and now he's asked me how he should label it. Any suggestions? Mark it as a gift or mark it as "watch parts"?
>>51356988
gift probably
>>51356977
>Buying a vintage watch
>Not planning on servicing it
Enjoy your paperweight, moron
>>51356988
i think "used watch, no battery" is a common thing, and a value of like $20
What does WR50 really mean?
>>51356964
Are you retarded? It's not hard at all to open it. Some pliers or sth to grab the edges will do.
>>51357082
>Doing the service by yourself, with no idea about what to do

>>51357317

It's not a HMT, Hadji.
>>51357353
>or sth to grab the edges will do
Good job at reading comprehension, m9.
Why so salty about some old mido, won't mommy buy you one, faggot?
>>51357150
Means you can shower with it forever or you can dive to <=50m for the extent of the warranty period
About to buy this
opinions?
>>51357462
I know it's quartz, but quartz is my preference
wating for my 110 to arrive, want to order a custom bezel since I don't like much the original.
after over 9000 hours in Ps.
What would you get?
>>51357462
>>51357474
How much? I see some models for ca. 65€ right now. They look pretty decent for the price.
This one is ok. The date and the left dial should be left out.
>quartz
There is no problem here. Only butthurt permavirgins will be flaming you for not being one of them, aka overpaying for gimmicky shit in the movement.
>>51357526
a life
>>51357421
Not even the same anon, you shitskin cunt. I'm just saying that fucking up the caseback with pliers is the same type of unacceptable barbarism as using a vernier gauge as a monkey wrench.
>>51357543
they don't sell them where I live
need to be ordered from outside, 100 euros with shipping
>>51357559
Why would he open that watch at home anyway, he told you that he has no experience with that.
>you shitskin cunt
>mfw im a white european
What is it with you and curry niggers? i never mentioned the HMT shit in any of my posts.
Stop thinking about shitskins 24/7, you sure are a faggot mate, why are you so keked, mate?
>>51357562
So it will reach like 115€ total. Well, it's not wirth it. If you like the design, go ahead, but i've seen better classic watches on aliexpress for 15-50€.
>>51357621
You're still a dumb faggot for suggesting pliers.
Still kinda want.
>>51357639
ordered them. Really like the way the look, and it's pretty difficult to find a 40mm with a chronograph watch like this for my small wrist
totalled to 96 with shipping
here is some more info: http://www.amazon.com/BUREI®-BM-7003-01E-Multifunction-Chronograph-Leather/dp/B00SFTQ5AM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
>>51357474
found your watch for cheaper. Well at least the price is for germany.
http://de.aliexpress.com/item/I-watch-Jordan-Chan-endorsement-six-needle-quartz-watch-Sally-multifunctional-business-men-s-retro-fashion/32422982821.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_6_79_78_77_91_80%2Csearchweb201644_5%2Csearchweb201560_9
>>51357526
None of them. The blue is a weird blue, didn't match the blue of the Pepsi bezel I ordered, didn't really match anything, I ended up changing it to a black dial and getting a red insert for the bezel. A shame as I like the Scuba dude dial's design.
>>51357526
>>51357726
Here's what I ended up with.
>>51357714
yep thanks for the link, 20 euros cheaper
>>51357712
then this >>51357714
was too late (nooo ;_;)
96 is ok, if you like the design and couldn't find alternatives. It looks pretty unique and i guess you'll get compliments on that.
Glad that /g/ is slowly waking up and realising how much cheaper a watch can be.
Hopefully the chinese will make a lot of pressure and the fucking mountain jews will have to get creative again.
>>51357747
Glad to help, post your experience when the watch arrives.
What do you guys think about Urban Jürgensen?
>>51357801
Absolutely stunning pieces, but too expensive for me.
I heard they recently became Danish again after som investors decided to put almost $30m into the company again.
>>51357798
>>51357750
no worries bro, 20 euros isn't that big of a deal.
Yes it should arrive at the end of the next week, will definitely post in the next /wtg/
>>51357726
but you lost the date wheel
is it complicated to change the dial/hands?
Can you guys help me identify this watch?
is there some guide or list of models of sweeping hand quartz watches?
is it true than the battery last very little?
>>51358291
Looks like a fake patek to me.
>>51358311
There is google.
There are not many. It would be easier to get a mechanical at this point.
Also, fuck off with your autistic sweeping quartz watch, m9.
>>51358291
Gee, i don't know man, the letters, all over the fucking dial do not help at all !!11!1 XDDDD
>>51358291
random fake patek
>>51358291
btw not only a fake but an atrocious one unless patek's quality control is really shitty for the price i can stop some fucked up spacing between indices and shit
>>51358311
Seiko Spring Drive, Bulova UHF/ Accutron and Omega Megasonic are the only sweeping second hand movements I know
>>51357712
Buy it says 69.99 with free shipping on amazon
>tfw when the chinks finally shipped my Denzel Washington
Really not sure if i should get the Mido or not, any other opinions? I need something other than a diver (Have the SKX013 and Mako both in Pepsi), i live in Brazil and for the price the only other thing i could probably get are old Seiko 5.
>>51358311
Bulova has a wide variety. Seiko Spring Drive, Omega Megasonic and Electroquartz i think, Seiko 5s21 caliber. Lurk moar
>>51358321
>>51358585
>>51358601
I suspect so but it seems like a true automatic watch. Is it worth anything?
>>51358774
Companies put automatic movements in fakes all the time and no it isn't work anything.
My Explorer II. Bought it without a bracelet (NEVER FUCKING DO THAT, you will end up paying 500 bucks more than if you found one complete with bracelet)
Smashed the crystal once too.
>>51358774
It's not surprising that a fake has automatic movt senpai
>>51358774
I think you can buy a Miyota Automatic movement for about 100 bucks.
>>51358601
>spacing between indices
Where? I don't doubt you but I literally can't see what you're talking about... Maybe I'm just blind...
>>51358675
doesn't ship everywhere
Decided to buy this turd for experimental purposes. I want to mod it, the movement specifically. Its a 6 beat per second, and i want to raise it to an 8 beat per second. How could i do that?
>>51358812
looks good in white. I'd cop one but I have no use for the GMT hour so I'd feel like a poser..
>>51358913
You'd have to do some serious nig-rigging with the gear train.
>>51358291
That watch is fucking hilariously bad
>>51358946
How might i do that? Or if i could have an article or something like that, itd be appreciated
>>51358901
Don't have paint here to indicate but look at the spacing between the 9 o'clock marking and the day indices and the spacing between the 3 o'clock marking and the other (0-12) indice wheel. Very different, also the hour metal marking in general, the 4 o'clock is tied together with the round line whereas the 8 o'clock one is far more spaced.
>>51358918
Neither do I really. I just have it set to GMT for now. When I went to Germany, it was pretty useful though, setting the 24hr hand to home time.
No one's really going to be looking or judging, and you barely notice the gmt hand for the most part. The Explorer II is kind of under the radar, I say that you'd look more like a poser if you bought a Submariner.
The old 16550's and 16570's look best with white dials, the new 216570, however, looks better with a black dial.
>>51358901
Also look at that atrocious metal finish on the bottom lugs inside goddamn
>>51358979
Get a balance wheel, hairspring assembly that fits your watch and operates at 8beats per second.
>>51358979
I have no idea. I'm not a watchmaker, by any means.
I'm just guessing, that if you want to increase the total bpm, the problem would be within the number of teeth in the respective gears; more teeth = more beats = smoother sweep = greater precision = better accuracy. If it's running fast or slow, you can always nudge the regulator, but I don't think that actually increases of decreases the total number of beats.
>>51358163
Not really, it's just fiddly and you need a lot of patience. You'll also need a few tools.
As for the date, I prefer the look of divers without a date window and it's a pain in the arse to set it when you haven't worn the watch for a while.
Which 24 hour watch would you recommend?
>>51359101
all of them
>>51359101
Do you want a straight up 24 hour watch, or one with a separate 12 and 24 hand, like a Rolex GMT?
>>51359101
none of them
>>51359124
Straight up
>>51359101
Some but not others
>>51359034
I heard a lil while back that another way was to tighten the hairspring? Not sure if that would work but just curious
>>51359128
I did some quick googling, this seems to be the only current production 24 hr watch that's not made by some no-name brand with dubious quality.
http://www.longines.com/#!/watches/heritage-collection/l2-751-4-53-4
>>51359101
digital one, gayshock at the cheapest.
rate
>>51359145
Well, sort of, how would you do that?
>>51359202
good looking + eta shit movement = fashion watch.
Women will love it, WIS will hate it.
>>51359219
I would think the easiest think to do would be to replace it with one that's slightly undersized, if you're going to try that.
>>51359241
>eta shit movement
Did you even look at the watch? Are you stupid?
>>51359202
i like it, really
>>51359219
As >>51359054 said earlier, altering the regulator lever might do something, though its also possible it might not. I know watches well, just dont know altering movements much, hence why im asking around
My baby
>>51359279
I don't think the lever wont get you a 33% frequency increase.
>TFW just ordered green Tisell Sub 9015.
>Dat Ceramic bezel.
I've heard the bracelet isn't great though, so I may have to change that for a Super Oyster.
>>51359271
no but I assumed by the brand that it's ETA. Didn't feel like researching the specific model so if that makes me stupid, then i guess i am.
>>51359351
Why the fuck would you assume a Bulova was ETA?
>>51359351
bulova is citizen
>>51359279
The regulator only changes how fast the balance spins, the gearing still displays 6 beats as one second no matter how fast or slow they they are.
>>51359380
Ah, right. So my only way is to make a Frankenstein of a movement?
>>51359359
>>51359365
oh... sorry I guess but that doesn't make it any better desu, it's like mixing up a hyundai and a kia- they both suck and aren't really worthy of extensive scrutiny... don't get me wrong I like casio's and swatches too but they're not something I take seriously...
>>51359449
Kia is a part of the Hyundai motor group.
>>51358913
>>51358979
Unfortunately not going to happen. First of all, you'd need a new hairspring and balance which were coupled to vibrate at 4hz. Then, you'd need to replace basically the entire gear train. If all you did was get the balance to oscillate at 4hz the watch would run MASSIVELY fast as the gear train is only designed for 3hz. If you really want a movement that runs at 4hz, get a Chinese copy of a 2824 and either figure out a way to mod it in to that case or just buy a new case, dial and hands and make your own watch.
>>51358989
yea that's true.. Come to think of it one of my managers is in St Luis and I'm in California so I guess that's a good enough reason maybe I'll try one on... I saw it on archieluxury and though it was really clean, usually I don't like the 24 hour markers on the bezel because it gets too 'busy' but I think what you've got doesn't kill my eyes with too much stuff I like it...
>>51359471
damn maybe I am stupid...
>>51359518
So do you normally go to rebbit, or what?
>>51359390
You could also pitch in on development of time dilation technology.
>>51359518
The Explorer II is probably the best bang-per-buck Rolex out there.
You really can't go wrong with the white dial one. Incredibly versatile, and it's robust enough to wear all day every day.
Just don't drop it on a tile floor like I did.
>>51357150
>>51357456
curious myself so found this..
>>51359543
... what? I found archie just looking at watches on jewtube if that's what you mean... shit was funny so I watched more of them...
>>51359596
lol yea, i like the look of the blue milgauss too but idk if it'd be too thick for my wrist so I gotta try one on. I like a 'clean' looking watch, and since everyone knows what a rolex is if I got one I'd want something more subtle.... The other watch I'm looking at is a used patek aquanaut. It'd be more money but it'd be nice to have since I work with a bunch of judgmental pricks who don't know how to size me up lol
>>51359694
That doesn't answer my question
>>51359742
you mean reddit? no... mostly just here why do you ask is he popular there?
>>51359313
that's not your watch, that's a stock photo
>>51359837
I just asked because of your post quality.
>>51359694
Don't worry about other people, I've had my Explorer II for two years, and only 2 people have really noticed it.
>>51359449
you have no idea what an accutron is, right?
>>51359449
are you high?
>>51359320
I'm buying the Bauhaus one soon.
Its amazing what a person gets for the money.
Does anyone know about West End Watch Co.?
I've just seen this on JewBay and it looks interesting.
>>51359501
Actually, not to bad of an idea. Itd be expensive as hell, not even sure if itd be worth it, but i could buy a Sellita SW200 (the swiss version that invicta uses) and just replace the jap movement
>>51359145
But then at best the watch would beat at 8 beats per second but still be geared for 6 which means it would run at +8 hours/day

i'll try to fix my brocken watches wish me luck!

these have metal straps?
if you're going for the

>>51361003
Casio makes several watches on bracelets, what the hell are you talking about?
>>51361040
that the one he posted is painted resin
>>51361089
no
the watch is painted resin
the strap is stainless steel
>>51361089
The case is, not the bracelet.
>>51361100
>>51361106
why the fuck casio doesn't make those on metal cases too then?
>>51361147
No one knows, I'd buy the shit out of a metal AE1200
>>51361147
I guess then it wouldn't be as cheap as it is. Would people honestly buy an A158 if it were to cost twice as much?
However Timex does make a plated brass terrorist, a remake of one of their 80's model.
>>51361288
I might.
But a lot might not. They're watches mostly bought either for the cheap price or the retro aesthetic (they are seriously popular within trendy folks!)

i recently mettened my Amphibias case and i think it looks so much better now.
I have this Vostok as my allday-everyday watch.
ive been thinking about buying a seiko for some time but i only really like their divers and i think i allready have that covered with my vostok.
I also like the design of the Rodina a lot. i've been thinking about buying it for some time and right now its only 92 bucks.
does one of you have that watch?
should i buy it?
Any good looking cheap watches?
Like $50 cheap
anyone else have tiny ass lady wrists

>>51362325
Look into tisell.
They dont have the china made and are amazing for the price.
>>51359202
Should have had a sapphire crystal, and it'll eat batteries quicker than standard quartz watches. Aside from that it's pretty good.
>>51362395
problem with that is they don't sell everything to America. If I want this one, theres no way for me to buy it, that I can find:
http://tisell.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=13&main_cate_no=4&display_group=1
>>51362494
I don't know anon,there is a huge thread about tisell on watch seek someone needs to go thorough it and find out where we can buy this beauty.
>>51362494
there's probably a so-called "forwarding service" for buying items from korea
can't specify any since I've only used them for japan
Another day, another intredasting watch to find out about on the web.
Were these rare or just not very popular?
Russian is best bang for the buck
>>51362759
Soviet, not Russian. There's a noticeable difference in quality.
>>51362262
>nomos
Let him buy what ever the fuck he wants, you hipster trash. Go fuck yourself and your german shit, mate. Some people earn normal salary and are not keen on blowing it all on some wristwatch, good god, how hard is that to comprehend?
>MUH horology
Some just like the design and none of that other bullshit.
I'm german myself and rarely somebody has heard of the brand. If you would tell a german how much you spend on that fugly thing, he'd probably say "and why didn't you get a used rolex?". That's how much people care about that eastern german brand.
>Shit makes me fucking rage
>>51362792
no there isn't
and any difference there might be is negated by the fact that the russians are newer and thus more reliable
Is the watch in ARMA 3 based on anything irl? I thought it might be something from Marathon, but no.
Is there a certain style of watch recommended for people with ridiculously skinny wrists? I've been avoiding watches most of my life because I think they look weird on my arm.

One last slightly dusty bonus photo
>>51362909
watches with a small face, nothing else really
bezels tend to make watches wear smaller, so maybe look into 35-38mm divers? don't hesitate to check out ladies' models if they don't look bad, Citizen has some pretty nice ones
>>51362909
Just wear whatever watch is small enough to not have any lug overhang. Unless you have tiny girly bitch wrists a 38mm or 36mm watch should do fine.
>>51362909
just vintage my shit up
>>51362920
I don't like the curvy indices on it.
Beautiful except that tidbit.
Looks like Seiya has a slick new website and a couple of new Seiko models. First up, SARX021. Looks pretty ugly to me and I'm not sure why it's $438.
ooh yeah finally found some thinner spring bars so I can wear this bulky beauty with a fittingly bulky zulu
>>51363079
Looks nice to me.
I may buy one for my mother.
>>51363079
SBDC029, looks like another minor upgrade to an existing model but I forget what the model number is for the original. They seem to be updating all their divers. Diashield titanium, 6R15, $839.
>>51362909
>>51362982
This. Also look for classic or dress watches, they tend to have the good sizes. I have a 42 mm watch, but the first time i wore a 36, i was in love!
This size is so, so much better looking and the proportions are just right. Also look on aliexpress, you can get some pretty nice looking, cheap models.
Search for 36mm watch (or other sizes). Found this awesome explorer fake for 40 €

>>51362806
why are you so mad? some refugee raped your sister?
>>51363095
Vostok are shitheads for just putting lame lume dots on their dials, instead of properly printing lume on the numerals and indices. I bet they actually did that in the Soviet times.
>>51363114
SBDC007, better known as the Shogun. Looks exactly the same though, so I don't know what the difference is.
>>51363114
SBDC031, the Sumo update. Seems like all they did was upgrade the lume and slap the Prospex logo on it. Currently $424 but the MSRP is the same as the current Sumo so it'll probably come down in price. Also comes in blue as SBDC033.
>>51363101
Yeah it seems like it would be a nice women's model but it's 39mm...
>>51362909
seiko 5 millitary is atp a classic small face watch to get
>>51363152
Should have used the limited edition bezel insert, it looked so much better than that fatass font.
>>51363147
Yeah that's what it is. The old Shogun was already diashield titanium so I'm not sure what the hell they did besides put the Prospex logo on it, that's dumb. At least when the updated the MM300 recently they added some new movement technology and added diashield coating to it, these other updated divers are pretty much the same shit. Hopefully that new SKX007 replacement someone posted here a while ago comes out soon, that one is at least a fully brand new model.
>>51363188
All I can tell is it's AUTOMATIC instead of the nice SARB style script one and "diver's 200m" on one line instead of scuba and 200m on two lines. Maybe it just got the new lume.
>>51363152
Oh and I forgot one more. LUKIA SSVM020 Limited Edition. $324, 4R35 movement. Good thing they're only making a limited number of them because god damn that's ugly.
>>51362900
not really, it's super generic. flieger/pilot dial, diving bezel, nothing hands.
>>51363252
The date totally ruined this
You guys wouldn't know a real rolex if it hit you in the face
>>51363146
yeah, I love the watch but that is a problem I have with it. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to have it painted with lume, though
and yeah I absolutely hope that when these were actually used for military or diving use, they had some proper lume in general, haha

The latter. Are the GS bracelets really that much better than other mountain jew watches?
cuuuuute
>>51363608
SBGH031
As far as bracelets go, it's amazing compared to most other bracelets I've worn. But there's a lot of swiss stuff I haven't worn so I'm not going to say something like it's better than everything swiss.
I love this watch, but there is no way I'm spending ~$4k on a watch.
Does Seiko make a watch that looks similar to this but is in the price range of $300-$800? I don't really care about the GPS feature either.

>that dial
Sexy.
>>51362909
how small is your wrist?
>>51363712
Fucking disgusting, why would you want this?
>>51363653
>SBGH031
Nice dial. Post pics.
>>51360691
Is that the meteorite one?
>>51363712
maybe citizen has something similar?
>>51363712
You want a modern Astron but don't care it's the first GPS watch to sync with every single time zone, including those funky half time zones, on our planet?
>>51363770
Yeah
>>51363775
That's not what I meant. If I had the money, I'd absolutely buy it. It's an incredible watch.
However I am poor, but I like the way it looks.
>>51363779
Alright, really like that one.
>>51363725
The dial is something that is near impossible to capture in photos. It has a significant amount of detail. Similarly I can't find any good images of the hands. The center of the hands have a uniform, straight, deep brush and the sides are Mirror finished to absolute perfection.
It's beyond compare. Too bad they only made 200 of them. But I got mine.

>posting relevant photos of his watch
good luck
>>51363821
You mean, his father's watches?
>>51363817
GPS devices only receive, they don't transmit anything. A device picks up radio signals from GPS satellites and uses them to trilaterate its on position, the satellites have no way of knowing that a device is even picking up their signal, much less where the device is.
>>51363842
If I posted pics of my father's watch it would also happen to be a watch I purchased. Funnily enough.
>>51363651

update:
damn I'm loving the thick-ass zulu
the best "NATO" I've felt so far, the usual NATOs tend to be either too stiff/harsh/rough or too thin to feel really good. this is really thick but not rough at all, very comfy.

So do we know what watch Hiroyuki wears?
>>51359964
I'm going to be buying a handwinder next, just for how nicely the movement is decorated,
why doesn't nineball ever post pictures of his watches?
>>51366756
I have and I do, all the time >>51350633

I'm sorry you are both too poor to afford an original design, made well, by one of the vanishingly few independent watchmakers that actually manufacture mechanical watches, movements included, rather than a marketing driven luxury conglomerate owned branding exercise bullshit brand or some reprehensible chikshit poorly made knock-off of that original design.
Jeleaousy is a hell of a thing. Maybe one day, if you worm really hard and save up, you can have the watch you resent others for being able to afford.

They do special orders all the time - they ship Korean only models internationally for about $10 extra IIRC and they will actually do custom pieces; some guy on WUS got a black Sub 9015 with a blue bezel.
>>51366839
Blue sub with a black bezel, actually.
>>51362464
well supostly the battery must last 2-3 years witch is not bad at all.
>>51367294
Got dam sun, your playing with fire
>>51367294
Why they aren't just fucking eco-drives I will never understand.
Just got this today. Loving it.
>>51362920
I love my poljot dress watch with a linen dial.
>>51367512
I was thinking about getting one of these, how does the chrono function?
My latest arrival.
Really impressed with how pristine it is. Photos were not great so I didn't know what I was getting myself into. There are only really a couple of marks on the case, and none that I can see on the face.
Bracelet is way too big for my wrist, though. Oddly enough none of the bracelet links seem removable, so i'm not really sure I have any options to shorten it.
>>51367667
Not very sure I'd have to have it for more time to tell. But I'm loving it so far. Everything is working nicely.
What's a good watch for $100 or under? Pic related, one I am thinking about getting.
>>51368860
Go for it. Seiko is pretty much always a safe choice to go with.
>>51368860
If you are student,search for local watch shops they usually have some kid of discount for students.
That how I got nice Swiss Military for $140 with ETA movement that $300 Tissot was having.
On Casio and Seiko you can save up even more.
>>51369182
Never heard of a student discount outside of art supplies.
>>51369182
Afaik, watches always have bloated base price or msrp or how it's called, especially in physical stores and pretty much every discount is a sham to trick you into thinking that you're saving mad dosh on your purchase, like seriously, what other item can you buy at 40% the market price, not food that's for sure, never had any "buy 1 get 2 free" types of deal on food
Got an SRP645K1 for my 25th birthday couple months back. Sadly I'm a manlet so it looks fuckhuge on my wrist.
>>51370634
That's gotta be the ugliest Seiko 5 I've ever seen.
>>51360778
>>51370768
That's why I pretty much never wear it. I usually sport my G-Shock or Vostok
>>51370805
That's gotta be the ugliest Vostok I've ever seen.
>>51370805
Please say that Vostok was also a gift because it's hideous too.
I like fairly simplistic watches, but I'm looking to get a new one. Can anyone recommend some quality brands?
>>51370931
Stowa, Longines, Nomos, Junghans, Seiko. Frederique Constant.
>>51366819
>both
what?
>one of the vanishingly few independent watchmakers
Rolex is one, PP is one. They are not vanishing, you little cunt. The market is over saturated. There is no need for any more watchmakers.
>Jeleaousy
Bitch please, aren't you a good, brainwashed little consumer? Only fanboys accuse others of this instead just realising that people don't like the sterile and boring design of nomos.
Mate, if i'd spend such silly amounts on a wristwatch
>kek
i'd get a datejust 1. Looks way better than your boring minimalistic piece of shit.
Now go jerk off to nomos some more, faggot.
I'm not really a watch guy, but I do love my girl for occasional wear.
How do you pronounce Seiko?
>>51371194
Is this a real rolex?
It looks like a cheap fake.
>>51371194
>>51371312
Def. fake. Even the steel on my 40€ hommage looks better than this.
>>51371226
Say-ko, long O
Just bought one of these,
Miyota auto
Ceramic bezel
Sapphire glass
Superluminova (dunno what grade)
Anyone know if these are decent?
