What's /g/'s opinion on EDC Gunner?
His collection makes me suspect he posts in these threads.

Have you seen it in person? I was torn between the Milgauss and the Explorer (i hate crown guards) and went to my local AD to check them out.
After trying out both, I decided to get the Explorer. The Milgauss is very heavy, presumably because of the anti-magnetic case and I felt the colors were too funky. For some reason the Explorer really grew on me while the Milgauss just seemed more like a memewatch.
>>54306643
A literal who.
>>54306659
Protip: they're both memewatches
if I don't wear my watches loose they tend to dig into my hand whenever I flex in the slightest, are you guys just a bunch of limp wrist faggots or something?
Wearing a watch in 2016 is by definition autistic.
>>54306659
Yeah, I've seen and worn both as well.
I helped my father out when he decided he wanted a watch (and of course he wanted a Rolex).
I didn't really notice the weight. They're like 25grams in between each other. It felt as heavy as any other watch with bracelet.
The funky colors are what I really like. It's a great everyday watch in my opinion. For classier event I'd wear a dress watch anyway.
But damn, I also do like the Explorer.
>>54306685
There's a difference in wearing it loosely and wearing it so it fits.
You should be able to fit a finger between the bracelet and your wrist, but only barely.
>>54306664
He's a watch collector from eastern Europe who has a nice vintage collection. He gives makes good reviews imo and gives useful tips on how to catch good bargains on eBay.
Check his channel, he has made me want to expand my vintage collection desu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhUuyG7T8X0
>>54306666
Checked.
A buddy of mine from Switzerland told me once that only drug dealers and pimps wear Rolexes there. Total memewatch.
>>54306714
Maybe I just have bitchwrists then. What's your favourite Milguass color scheme? Blue, black or white? Which model did your dad ended up getting?
>>54306738
Nobody cares.
"literally who" is rhetorical.
It's a way of telling you that you are an autist who has fallen for the cult of personality, and nobody else on the planet gives the tinniest fuck about this random nobody youtuber you keep plugging.
>>54306728
in that case I have maybe a link at most too much, but it was definitely too lose to consider wearing
cheers for the info
>>54306759
That white milgauss that was posted last thread was fucking beautiful. Probably one of the best models Rolex has ever made in terms of style.
>>54306772
the white milgauss doesn't have the green crystal though, but I agree it's very nice
>>54306759
I personally prefer the black, but I think the blue would fit me better, as I'm blond and blue-eyed.
I also like the white one, just not as much as the others, haha.
My father got the black one.
>>54306769
>It's a way of telling you that you are an autist who has fallen for the cult of personality, and nobody else on the planet gives the tinniest fuck about this random nobody youtuber you keep plugging.
Relax, why so salty?
Your butthurt response is the only post that radiates blatant autism.
I'm just asking here if you guys know him and what do you think about his collection. I just like his videos, it's not like I worship him.
>>54306789
That's kind of cool, you guys can get a father-son thing going on. What's currently in your collection?
>>54306786
The green crystal was fun and mysterious for a couple of months. These days I'm sick of looking at it, even in jpeg form.
>>54306769
As the guy who wrote 'literally who', I'd like to weigh in I just genuinely didn't know who he was.
I wasn't implying that the gentleman was an autist. Because frankly there's nothing autistic at all about watching watch reviews if you're interested in watches.
>>54306848
>you guys can get a father-son thing going on.
Haha, that sounds cheesy as fuck.
>What's currently in your collection?
Not a lot interesting pieces, unfortunately.
I'm the guy who once in a while posts his Maison Celadon peacock.
I have that, an Omega Geneve from '74, a Seiko 5 Sport (SNZG11K1), a Obris Morgan Memexplorer 2 and well.. the clown watch.
>>54306948
That's a fairy diverse collection. The Maison is a stunner and a very interesting piece. Orbis Morgan seems nice but they're all fuckhuge.
Mine isn't much better frankly. I've had many watches before but now consolidated down to the short hand memexplorer, junghans max bill and an alba (seiko) quartz field watch. Pic related from Seiya.
Currently looking at pilot watches. Really tempted to get an iwc mark xv. The new ones are nice but I don't feel like spending so much on a eta/sellita. Plus richemont is a huge jew.
>>54307131
>Alba quartz field watch
How much have you paid for it? I've seen them going for 70€ + 20€ shipping from Japan, which I think is not justified for what it is. It is a cool piece though.
>>54307131
>Junghans Max Bill
I really like that watch. Is it the automatic version you've got?
>IWC Mark XV
Great watch, I think it would dress every collection up a bit!
>>54307181
I bought it for about 60 usd + 40 usd for that exact same expandable bracelet. They're both Titanium and are extremely light. The band pulled quite a bit of hair initially but is extremely comfortable now that I've worn it a few times. A nice piece for when I go cycling or hiking.
I never thought much about the price considering my top contender for a field beater watch is the Seiko SBCA001 which was discontinued and listed from anywhere between 140-200USD.
>>54307234
The automatic white face version. That was actually my first mechanical. I have a soft spot for it. The acrylic is all scratched up and I never bothered to go get it polished that's why I never post it.
>>54307369
Oh I ordered from seiya, so prices are probably a bit more expensive than normal but he helped me source that bracelet and offered good service/"free shipping".
Open to strap suggestions.
Keeping this one is also an option.
>hamilton
This thread needs to be dedicated to actual watch technology. All you faggots do is talk about is looks and straps. Talk about movements/digital watchs or fuck off to /fa/, this thread is attracting the wrong people to /g/
>>54307454

>>54307454
Stay assblasted. If you don't like the thread fuck off.
>>54307454
we don't need this argument every fucking thread how's about you just hide this thread and fuck off
>>54307444
Why the fuck do crown locks exist? Also if the crown can be locked, why can't the bezel be secured like on the Omega Seamaster Ploprof.
>>54307478
So your crown can't come unscrewed and flood your watch.
>>54307425
Leather nato, or as suggested to some other anon who bought it, a dark brown Hadley Roma.
>>54307454
Oh we used to, but with all the recent shitposting it slowed down quite a bit.
Now is the anon searching for vintage Seiko's still here?
Where were you when Casio beat apple and google to the punch 30 years ago?
>>54307478
you'd be surprised
mere vibration can be enough
>>54306500
why would you wear a watch on your right wrist?
are you a genetically deficient leftie?
>>54307485
Sounds like a fucking non-issue, considering no one apart from a few special snowflake dive watch models seem to implement it.
>>54307490
Here's one that measures your vitals
>>54307489
Where do the buckles shit on a leather nato? I don't want them to hit the desk when I'm at the computer.
>>54307478
I think it's mostly an aesthetic choice at this point, real divers use dive computers apparently
>>54307508
Having a databank is more or less a small Palm PDA on your wrist.
It's still handy for scheduling, much easier to silence a wrist alarm than a phone one.
>>54307534
They do. Would you trust your life to a bezel when better options exist? Even a g-shock frogman would be hundreds of times more useful than a diver.

>>54307517
Ideally they will sit on both sides of your wrist if they are 4~5 ring natos. 3 ring will either be on the side of on the bottom, depending on how you wear it.
>>54307571

A sign of the young hipster cuck who came from a watchless family/didn't have a watch wearing father figure. That and people who only turn the crown forward when winding their watch.
>>54307794
Not my pic plus I wouldn't ever wear on the right since I'm right-handed.
I just saved it because I liked the mesh on it and I'm waiting for a second hand sunburst blue dial one I bought a few days ago.
Hope this helps you sleep better at night.

Can you faggots at least create a guide for choosing a watch, if you insist on shitting up /g/ with your cancer?

If you guys are referring to that old pic, I think it should be updated.
Recommending someone to buy an HMT Pilot is just retarded.
>>54307425
Black nato or zulu strap.
>>54307490
I was at primary school probably.
>>54308008
It's better than the more recent alternatives that were made.
And if you understand that the HMT is literally shit then you're on the right track.
>>54308008
someone tried to update it a few weeks ago but he was retarded.
>>54307660
That's because the Databank is stylish in a retro way. 'Smart' watches are dogshit ugly.
>>54307991
>>54307981
alright, this is a request.

Just found a couple of chink natos lying around my bedroom, black and green, gonna try those.

>>54308269
>tfw the Citizen Promaster NY0040 is not on the list
Why is the better and cheaper alternative to the Seiko SKX so ignored?
>>54308322
It's an old list, and a new NY0040 isn't cheaper than the SKX.
>>54307490
The one I had in '84 (a resin TC-50) had some of the touch sensors die out so it wasn't a full calculator. Shame, because if it still worked perfectly I could figure out how much money it saved me by repelling all that pussy. At least the stopwatch still works so I can see just how fast I get shut down.
>>54308134
w&w has good reviews on affordables, plus their site has a good interface which allows you to filter by brand, size, style and price.
>inb4 shill
but it's a legitimately good site compared to most watch "journalists"
>>54308351
Second hand ones are for some reason, in fact you got yours for just 50 USD and I got mine for 85€ while second hand SKX's don't go for below 150€ these days.
I guess it's because the huge cult and fanbase behind the SKX eclipses this model, which is objectively better.
>>54308422
Maybe I've exaggerated a bit the price of the second hand SKX's but they are still much more expensive anyway.
New they are about the same price I think.
>>54308419
oops forgot a link
http://wornandwound.com/watch-reviews/?_sft_price=0-499&sort_order=_sfm_price+asc+num
I'm actually just looking at it right now
>>54308422
>you got yours for just 50 USD
>>54308278
No need to imply anything, the picture of it speaks a thousand words.
Which one would you pick /wt/?
Also are there any modern cheap compressor diving watches? I think they look super cool. The JLC one is my grail watch.
>>54308472
>>54308422
Second hand SKX that aren't some kind of Philipino rescues and in good shape hover in the 90~150 range depending on condition and extras while new one start 160+.
I bought mine for about 170shipped, avoided customs here, and sold it on WUS for 200 along with some old straps that i wanted to clear away. Barely wore it anyway.
>>54308496
Yup
>>54308278
Something so ugly only an eight year old would wear, and the wrist seems to hint that as well.
>>54308322
It's uglier, that bezel edge is awful.
>>54308539
easily the black bay.
>>54308552
pfff
Forgot to add that new NY0040's are at the 200$ shipped marked, no luck finding something cheaper.
>>54308559
The black bay is a very clean watch but I can't help but think it's the most boring choice out of the three after staring at the pic for quite a while. I would pick a red over a blue bb though
>>54308539
If I had to choose one for free and didn't care about the price factor at all, I would go for the Oris desu.
>>54308539
Black Bay would be my choice.
>>54308539
Tudor, probably.
>>54308600
my nigga
Where's that anon with the Seiko Spirit with the red 24hr dial? I really like that watch. Can you post some pics and tell me a bit about it? Specifically the straps, isn't the lug size 18mm but the dial size 40mm? Does that make it a bit awkward?
>>54308589
Yes I'd get the red too.
It may be safe, but that means it's good looking without weird details you have to make excuses for, and it's incredibly versatile - which would be a huge plus for me since I wouldn't be able to afford many expensive watches, and I would hate to leave one of those in a drawer if I owned it.
>>54308322
>mfw after looking at this pic for a while I realize that there's something wrong
>mfw I see that the edge ring of the dial looks misaligned
>mfw I ordered this watch two days ago and should arrive on monday or tuesday

Fuck you insecurities.
>>54308589
Also, those date windows on both the Longines and the Oris are detrimental to the design.
>>54308539
Basing only on looks, Tudor.
>>54308697
Kek, unlucky faggot.
>>54308706
That's some real beta right there.
>>54308706
lose weight
>>54308695
I completely understand. If I were going to buy a more expensive piece which would be my primary driver I would want something versatile and clean too.
But this got me thinking - I was watching those Talking Watches videos on Hodinkee and it seems that the most interesting collectors are ones who have so called watches with weird details or certain quirks. Just an afterthought based on your comments.
>>54308697
It is missaligned.
You will never enjoy it.
>>54308759
Such is the life of a socially awkward NEET neckbeard.
At least I don't absolutely hate women yet, guess that's something.
>>54308768
Gotta finish eating this cake first.
>>54308697
yes that's definitely a slligthly misaligned chapter ring
>>54308790
Yet.
You got it right.
>>54308134
Buy a nice Casio that'll last you forever
Don't fall for the memewatch shills on here like this poor guy did >>54308697
>>54308775
Oh yeah definitely. This is something you can do if you have many different watches.
The BB is good looking, but not much of a conversation piece. In fact, a Vostok Amphibia has a much more interesting history and design.
>>54308697
I actually feel bad for you.
>>54308697
you're retarded, it's misaligned but it's just that particular watch because the fucker didn't bother to rotate the bezel properly
gotta say, this is a pretty neat seiko 5 mod (even though combining arabic and roman numerals is a bit weird)
>>54308697
Now that i look at it, chapter ring does seem misaligned.
And despite me buying random watches all the time i take a few glances at different times before buying it.
Ask a watchmaker to realign it for you.
>>54308829
He's talking about the chapter ring, not bezel you retard.
>>54308835
It's called a California dial, and California dials are absolute shit.
mfw this actually seems like a decent thread with decent discussion and minimum shitposting
>>54308835
Yucky
>>54308790
Shave the neckbeard.
Go outside for at least half an hour every day. It could be to go for a jog, or biking, if you don't have anything to do.
Have an activity. Myself I'm a volunteer in an association, which means most weekends I'll be out doing something with people. Not always interesting, not always nice people. I haven't actually made good friends but at least I see and talk to people.
None of those things are actually hard to do.
You could also go the /fit/ way and start going to the gym and counting calories.
>>54308835
Haha I remember seeing this on /r/watches and those faggots ate this dogshit right up
>>54308863

>>54308893
Don't worry, I'm still socially awkward, slightly overweight, spend most of my time shitposting and never had a girlfriend. I still have my place here.
But at least I don't want to kill myself anymore and enjoy a few things in life.
>>54308829
I'm talking about the chaper ring, not the bezel. The seller may have rotated the bezel on purpose so the misalignment of the chapter ring is less visible at first sight.
>>54308784
>>54308750
cruel faggots
>>54308844
>>54308826
>>54308793
Here's another pic and it looks better, is there any hope?
>>54308259
1. The watches you're referring to are resin not plastic, they look new much longer than steel and are much more shock resistant
2. They make many metal watches, from the MDV divers to the Lineage and Oceanus lines.
The Lineage watches come in either SS or titanium, and the oceanus line is all Titanium Carbide titanium, both case and bracelet. Impossible to scratch unless you try really fucking hard.
>>54308278
It looks like a hipster turd
>Any year on this miserable planet

>>54308885
dude have you seen the last couple of threads with the oceanus shill, almost as bad as eco-shill, I think this is an improvement
>>54308893
90% of the people are faggots from /fa/
What you do expect?
>>54308915
okay now I feel bad, I'm just shitposting, continue on
>>54308921
It's definitely not awful. If after wearing it for a while you find it too bad you could alwayd do what >>54308844 said and take it to a watchmaker.
>>54308932
True, at least him and Pajeet are gone for now.
>>54308865
At times.
Though the occasional shill, autists and occasional maniacal shills can make it go downhill.
>>54308921
Again, worst case scenario you can get it adjusted.
>>54308963
I'd rather have the Oce-anus shill than the autistic Apu.
>>54308865
>minimum shitposting
something I have noticed across the site is that there is minimal shitposting until some tripfag/namefag/avatarfag/signaturefag starts posting and it spirals out of control
the problem is that most boards have fucking retarded mods who never enforce the rules or are the disruptive posters themselves
I have been banned like 6 times now for saying things like "filtered" to an avatarfag or ERPer who meanwhile never get banned or their posts deleted
>>54308539
>affordable
Jews I swear. That being said the Longines is pretty sex but too bad it's 42mm and has a date.
>>54308877
Well, I don't have a neckbeard, it was more a catch all term for the typical "lifestyle" I lead. I do have a beard though, but it's more of a generic beard that every young male seem to rock these days.
I would like to walk outside more though, but I'm to lazy to spend an entire day going through shops trying to find a pair of shoes in my size that I don't need to put down a damn mortgage for just to buy. Because the ones I have right now make my feet feel broken after only like 10 minutes of walking.
Also, I have in the middle of nowhere. All I have is nature, and nature is kinda boring.
Fuck I really need to stop complaining like a little bitch, oh well.
>>54308932
Hate to break it to you, but I'm the guy posting most of the Casio shit, including Oceanus
On a different note, can someone find me a ~$500 watch with a bracelet as good as >>54308928?
It doesn't even have to be TiC treated, just normal steel or titanium. I've read reviews where people say the bracelet is better than a Rolex Oyster.
>>54309002
to be honest there's nothing wrong with your watch or casio, in fact you've been fine this thread, but you went a bit overboard the last couple of threads
that being said, link to the review? interested as from what I hear Rolex's bracelets are amongst the best
>>54308995
Just filter them and shut up then. Nobody cares that you filter people. It's like announcing reports.
>>54309001
Then shave the figurative neckbeard.
I also live in the middle of nowhere, and I go cycling for half an hour every day. Nature may not be fascinating but at least there's nobody to make fun of me.
>>54308921
>cruel faggots
I'm not cruel, just sorry for you because I get incredibly autismal with things like that and I'm sure I couldn't even wear that watch.
>>54308997
not everyone is as poor as you))))
but i agree that that longines could be sex at 36-39mm
>>54308987
Yeah well, it would suck to take the watch to a watchmaker just after buying it, considering it wasn't especially a bargain in this case. I just wanted a used blue dial one and paid 90€ when I could have probably got a black one in a better for maybe even 20€ less.
I live in Germany and here watchmakers charge a lot for any simple shit, and I guess that if they remove the glas to fix the issue they will want to check the water resistance after, which would probably increase the cost of his service.
Wanna cry a little desu.
>>54308706
Thats the right way to wear a watch you colossal faget. Loose is for /fa/ faggots. Jeez why they removed military training after high school, anyone under 25 is colossal faggot.
>>54309002
Citizen grand classic bitch, the bracelet is sex
>>54309042
>Nature may not be fascinating but at least there's nobody to make fun of me.
That I do really like. Going to a public gym seems like hell to me. I just wish nature wasn't so damn static. At least in the city something is going on. I've already walked to all the local runestones and ruins around here, and pretty much all roads are just one way, so it gets a bit boring walking the same route every time.
>>54309090
It just feels so tight, and tightness is the devil for us fatties.
>>54309040
It was either on the Seiya product page or WUS, I'll try to find it when I get home are, but then again they're just the standard SS. I have no idea how Casio will use TiC on a 500$ watch but Rolex won't do it on an 8000$ watch.
You gotta go a bit nuts to get noticed anon, gotta follow the Trump example.
This thread is filled with faggots from non-/g/ boards, and I've noticed a lot of taste overlap with r/watches, as well as a huge normal-fag influx (even the odd pajeet); which is unacceptable.
With the help of Casio-bros, we will take this thread back for /g/

isn't TiC for titanium watches though? Rolex doesn't do titanium to my knowledge, though I really wonder how it stacks up against a GS which also does titanium watches
>>54309157
you can make it 100 times less dogshit if you put a different dial and hands on it
>>54309087
Well if you could get the WR checked at the same time it's not a bad thing. Thoih i;m unsure if the Citizen chapter ring is fitted the same as the SKX.
I'm still unsure i want to get mine too close to water as it sits, i'll likely get it tested soon though.
>>54309042
God damn i would love to live in the middle of nowhere. Not living meters from your neighbors and having the space to do fuck all.
I'd prefer to go back living in a god damn Kibbutz if i could find some well paying work there.

If you can get Pajeet to fuck off, and work in harmony with the rest of the permanent residents this could work.
>>54309157
Does it have the INVICTA engraving on the side of the case?
>>54309243
Yes it does
>>54309220
Alright, any suggestions?
>>54309157
It technically isn't, you get a seiko 4r movement for less than half of what an SKX costs.
However, you're essentially wearing a fake Rolex, and they have to stamp INVICTA on everything to stop chinks from gutting the case and making a fake.
Not even shilling, but I would say an MDV106 is a better watch to buy, or save up a bit for an SKX.
>>54309171
Titanium scratches a bit easier than SS (much easier to buff out scratches though). TiC treatment gives it a hardness of 9.5. It would actually be easier to scratch the sapphire crystal than the case or bracelet on an Oceanus.
>>54309191
Are you referring to Diashield? To my knowledge it's slightly worse than what Sinn uses, and that's slightly worse than TiC
Don't quote me on that though.
It's important to note though, that Seiko and Casio offer these high end alloys and treatments for less than a fraction of what Omega charges for a Titanium-5 alloy watch.
What's the average power reserve on a Seiko 5?
>>54309235
>the permanent residents
You mean the swiss cock suckers? Or the same 4 people that post their SKX's in every thread? Let's not even get to ninefag.
We need to make this thread great again.
If you want to discuss normie watches (swatch shit, Rolex, Panerai etc.) kindly fuck off to /fa/
>>54309311
Bit less than 40 hours
They wind quickly though
Post more interesting microbrand watches.
>>54309283
hardness isn't the be all end all argument for watches though, as in harder =/= better
you have a source for TiC hardness? what scale is that? most watch hardness comparisons use the Vickers scale.

I live close to that building in Geneva. It's a fucking shitfestival, but most importantly they only hire french workers, known as "frontaliers" around here, which are basically your average mexican niggers accepting to work for way less than natives so companies like Rolex can bankroll and make profit out of salarial dumping.
No proper Swiss in his right mind would wear a shitty ass Rolex anyway. It's a sign of poor taste. We gladly let the americans with their inferiority complex wear these abominations.
>>54309504
You could literally buy a 6 chink "fitness" band and it would do the same.
If you actually did anything intensive you would use a Rangeman or Protrek
>>54309458
I don't understand this meme. Explain pls
>>54309330
It's /wt/, the entire point here is to shit on overpriced fashion watches and the idiots who buy them.
Otherwise i'm referring for example, the few people who post their vintage JDM Seiko's, slav-watch posters, Microbrands of shorts and etc. Also people who post interesting vintage watches of various makers.
>>54309349
Oh, that's perfectly fine then.
I probably won't wear it some days at work when I expect to get dirty, but if it lasts a day for sure that's great.

To show you cunts I am the man among you children :) also 4chan's fun in general.

because that'd make me "do the needful". :p

Comedy gold.
Just look at that shitty old 3rd world tier Seiko quartz on that disgusting yellow nato kek.
Can you retarded faggots stop replying to pajeet?
All he wants is the (you)s and you're giving it to hi
>>54309774
try again you didn't quite go far enough to bait me ptoperly :p
this seiko was worn by my grandpa since atleast 1997 and it only needed 2 battery replacements out of which one was 2 weeks back and no service was ever done.
>>54309808
here's a (You) for you my friend, I just wanna talk about watches and have an occasional image board tier argument.

>ishygddt
>>54309726
How long have you had the watch and how is it holding up? I recently ordered an Amphibia and am kind of regret buying it. I really like the design (I ordered the same dial but with a ministry case). I really like the look of the watch I just wonder if I would have been better off spending a little more on a Mako or SKX. How accurate is it? I've heard very mixed stories, with some people being within 10 seconds a day while others are 60 secs + .
>>54309808
Are you really that surprised? I mean with the state /g/ is in right now nothing surprises me.
>>54308932

He plays a pilot in the film, but yeah it doesn't make any sense for that scene.
I been looking for a $100+ new watch and been strongly considering the Rodina ST17. What do you guys think? Any objections?
>>54310162
I'm not even sure they're Seikos anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually has the Indian Citizen 8205 clone inside.
>>54310134
'bout £13 too expensive
>>54310170
As in, the cheap Chinese watch I bought, when fitted on the arm, looks more like the tight fitting picture to the left, rather than the loose fitting picture to the right, in OP's picture.
>spending more than 5$ on a watch
>>54309963
Since I have not tested it in detail I can't tell you how many sec it lose/gain. But I have´t notice any difference between my seiko, it keep time pretty good. It was a good deal if we consider I got it for $50.
>>54309387
Please stop posting my favourite watch that I can't buy. Thank you.
>>54309504
I'm surprised, I expected fitbits to have an always on screen since it's just monochrome LED.
>>54310282
>>54310271
Why spend more than $5 on anything?
Why buy expensive food when you can buy rice and carrots? Why buy expensive clothes when you can buy white t-shirts?
>>54310282
I'm considering buying it, but I just spent over a kilobuck on another watch. The slippery slope is real.
>Watch that's less accurate than the Casio F91W and costs more
Why?
>>54309915
that's why there's a red X on it
here's a tip: don't wear a fucking watch, i'll just know you're a douchenozzle
>>54310218
But that's what it's supposed to look like.
>>54310367
To be fair, if you categorize people for only wearing a watch, you are one of them as well.
You should start wearing one to fit in.
>>54310367
>>54310306
>>54310350
fuck you
I seriously love that case.
I know I'll be able to spend this much on a watch in a few years, but at the moment I'm a student, and they won't be around then. Life is suffering.
Just bought one of these for $100, I'm quite excited. The 6t63 movement is really cool and I wish seiko would put the mechanical portion in more chronos in higher price ranges.
>>54307633
But mr skekelstein how will i tell the time when it runs out of battery?
>>54310466
Whoops, forgot my picture.
>>54310480
Pretty good. I'm not a fan of the 12, 24 and 24 without other digits, but other than that it's nice.
>>54309504
Thank you for the laugh
>>54310277
Thanks.
>>54306454
According to FitBit, no.
>>54310625
Depends, is the seller Indian,Thai, or Philipino?
>>54310625
I don't know anything about it, but from the looks alone, totally.
Automatic chronos are always nice.
What is this Citizen Bullhead actually worth nowadays?
I'm following this auction which is finishing soon and wouldn't mind sniping for 100€.
>>54307794
>what is being left-handed
>>54310657
Answer >>54310645 first.
>>54310657
It looks to be in pretty good condition, movement could still be fucked though. From what I understand though is they have much less problems than the 6138/9.
>>54310645
>>54310650
fuck you guys are fast replying, needed to change something in that post.
>>54310678
The seller is German and ships only to Germany which means that there's no many bidders.
>>54310715
Alright that's the important bit.
Any idea if it's a clean movement?
>>54306454
Alright lads i need some suggestions.
Budget Max = £2000
Has to be manual or automatic
Not overdetailed
Open heart preferable/ skeleton ( although not necessary )
The above watches are a few i've been considering.
>>54310766
the seller says it's perfectly working, he just point out in the description that he can't guarantee its perfect function in the middle/long term but I guess that's a redundant statement if you are selling a vintage watch anyway.
I'm just willing to spend 100-120€ and 20h are left so it could still double its price, I will set the sniping for 120€ though.
>>54310809
Sub 150 euros shipped is a decent price for it. The 8110A movement is definitely worth the price. High beat and more robust that the Seiko 6139/6138.
Would be worth a bit more if it was the white or black dial.
>>54310354
the only upgrade from a F91W is a solar atomic watch, because the battery will last longer and it will be accurate as long as it receives signal. Not necessarily pic related, but you get the idea.
>>54310775
Out of those three the tudor looks best imo.
Anybody <$20 chinese watch here?
Hey guys should i do this or keep the stock resin strap?
I already have the same 18mm NATO.
>>54311199
Fucking terrorist
Just picked this up at a garage sale for $20, cause there's no guarantee that it works.
I have a 5 (beater) and 2 SARBs that I love, but I don't know shit about Seiko Quartz.
Anyone help me out? Did I do good? Worth anything? Proper care for a quartz? Any info would be good.
>>54311213
>>54311213
Not even a penisquartz huh.
Seems to be a simple Seiko quartz from the 80's or 90's, 20$ is about as much as it is worth.
>>54311208
>Terrorist
>wearing a NATO

hmm something's not right here.
>>54311241
looted it from a corpse
>>54311236
>$20 is about as much as it is worth
ehh figured, no harm done. for that 20 I bundled the watch and a pretty sweet model car
>>54309387
Why are these so expensive?
>>54311336
Mostly the titanium/steel case, finishing, dial, crystal, etc.
For <100€, what are good watches that I can find on amazon and such? I can't afford more at the moment
>>54311352
Curse my racing watch obsession.
just replace the band and I think this would be nice for >$200
>>54310775
anyone know any decent open-heart watches for under £2000?
>>54311451
it's been on sale for $75 at some point
>>54311451
>>54311472
Aren't they like 120$ a pop right now?
Plus there's the new updated version with handwinding and hacking for 185$~
>>54311451
That circle in the bottom left made me check if there was a hair on my screen.
>>54311509
>>54311499
They should be around that yeah, with bracelet. Same price for the Ray which looks better because of the retarded bezel font on the Mako.
