Those Benrus/Omegas being sold via eBay from Guyana are pretty obviously being used for money laundering imo, the same guy has all kinds of preposterous items listed at such values. Clearly criminal associates of the 100% authentic Nigerian Prince variety are bidding on these items which have the same pictures, paying him, and he's then forwarding the money on their behalf

Pains me to see Orient make things like that. I know they can and do make good stuff, so why do this
>>54750661
As it turns out, I paid too much. I originally won the auction for a little over 28,000 yen or $330 Canadabux, but then Buyee inexplicably charged me in British Pounds, I had to pay their fees, I had to pay shipping, and then I got keked by Canadian customs. So in the end I'm into it for a lot more than I originally anticipated. Still a good deal compared to the ~$650 you'd be paying on eBay, but not a screaming bargain by any stretch.
>>54750392
I also have:
>5740C
>6106
>0703
>7546
>44A
Although the 6106 is not exactly "JDM". I'm going for a 52xx next.
>>54758010
I think that's the first Orient Chrono I've seen.
But god damned, that is one god ugly dial.
>>54758176
It's not a chrono. It's made to look like one. a fake chrono
I prefer digital watches.
They all look so fucking tacky though. what the fuck?
>>54758558

jokes.
>>54758579
Hell no, the classic casios are one of the only good looking ones.
>>54758652
Nothing classier than the old casios.
>>54758537
Well that's disappointing.
>>54758107
Because you stopped posting helpful Orient infographics and instead shitpost.
>>54759034
I'm sure my monthly Orient images, and the discontinuation of them, had no effect on Orient's decision to make that watch.
I bet you were one of the people who accused me of shitting up the threads with them anyway.

atomic and solar, an improvement over the regular 5600; 5600 square style is less of an eyesore and not as fuckhuge as the 6900/other styles which have been widely adopted by niggers and mall ninjas.
>>54759178
>>54759577
Yes, clearly this is much better.
Oh wait...
>>54759775
Seconds can go offf sync sometimes.
Buttons are not easily accessible. Light button is hard to press with gloves.
Sides of the casing are not screwed, so they end up widening and leaving a gaping hole on both sides you have to superglue.
I'd say the 5000 1JF is objectively better
>>54760091
>Sides of the casing are not screwed, so they end up widening and leaving a gaping hole on both sides you have to superglue.
i didn't know about this
you mean like around the circled areas? (see pic)
>>54760207
yep, that spot right there.
>>54760236
how does the 5000-1jf avoid this problem? i can't see any screws on the side to remedy it, the sides look the same to me
>>54760207
No, on the back, these parts of the bezel separate from the main body.
It's apparently no issue but I dont like it, I superglued the sides on my 5610
>>54760594
ah i see
i see the 5000 has a screwback also which is another improvement

I'm in manhattan every fucking day, surrounded by faggots
I know what these degenerayes wear on their wrists, and it's not a databank
>>54757794
wtf 2 second hands
>>54762205
Well, newbie, that's what we call a split second chronograph
Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!
>>54762198
I've lived in NY for 5 years now, and almost everyday I see some faglord hipster wearing a digital casio "ironically" or whatever. You're just not paying attention.
Hipters ruined it and now I hate even the idea of wearing a databank.
>>54762376
Well even if that's the case, if you like it wear it.
Thats why I wear mine and it's one of my favorite watches ever since the fucking 2nd grade. I won't let some faggots ruin that for me.
In other news I got a D in orgo II. I need a C so I'll be forced to retake another semester of hell in this literal autist class.
Yet I feel nothing, I think I already internalized that I wasn't gonna get the grade I needed.
My grades were otherwise good though so I'm thinking of getting these.
What do you guys think? The Databank will be my daily wearer
>>54762652
Oh and this
Any decent gunmetal black watches?
>>54762274
SGW anon finally appears. How do you like that watch m8? It seems to have really good specs for the price.
>>54762679
>>54762652
>rationalizing your grade and buying anyway
i knew you would do this
i like the ae1200 best but i would strongly recommend the resin version, i bought the bracelet version last year and it didn't take long before the "steel" started chipping away, it's just painted resin. the actual bracelet is extremely flimsy and terrible as well.
>>54762848
I worked my ass off for that class, but I guess I wasn't autistic enough to memorize fucking hexagons and arrows
I don't drink, don't have any actual friends and spend my days going to school and shit posting
My hobbies are the only thing that are there for me, as sad as that sounds. I'll just move on and retake a class with a professor thats less of a fucking cock sucker.
Anyway, I know it's painted resin.
What do you mean by flimsy? Did it break on you? I hear they were pretty comfy
>>54762729
Its well built, the compass and thermometer are spot on even with the spring temperature deviations (30 C in the sun 18 in the shade) and even though its a bit colourful with the dark blue/grey/orange combo, its still not gaudy. Would like to go diving with it because it has mineral glass protection and 20 bar WR.
>>54763218
Jesus fuck whats with the photo rotation fucking shitty online mongolian scribbling board
>>54763167
relax I'm just breaking balls
the bracelet feels really cheap and hollow, a lot of rattling when your wrist moves. dropped it a few times its like there are bent links now if that makes sense, the clasp area was bent too so you have to sort of bend it back to close the clasp and it's prone to fly open on you. also scuffs ridiculously easily as well.
sort of hard to see in the pic but you can see it doesn't sit flush at rest
After lurking on the wt threads for some time, I want to start a hobby of repairing watches themselves. Do any of you have any knowledge/ways to start off when it comes to this? If so, I'd fully appreciate your input.
>package delivered at post office

>>54763538
dont cheap out on tools, buy a bunch of the same russian movements and dig up some ebooks about watchmaking
>>54763475
I see
Looks like I'll go with resin for that and get the second from the left in steel later on (It'll be my interview watch), along with a nice bracelet for the pulsar.
I'll probably put the lad weather on a NATO. Really going full weeb with that.
And don't worry about it, I'm just salty as fuck. I leave home at 7am just so I wouldn't be late for lab, because the fucker locks you out if you're even a minute late and the MTA is awful.
>>54762729
Look into lad weather. It's a triple sensor for the same price, isn't as big as most pro treks and it's weeb approved
>>54763538
The movement in this guide is dirt cheap and very easy to find, it has some advice on buying tools, but I think you should buy some cheap ones first. I have an old mechanical seiko that I will give you for a beer ($3, just pay shipping) it's a Indian piece of shit but the movement would be fine to practice on that is why I bought it, but I don't find the time these days
http://www.clockmaker.com.au/diy_seiko_7s26/
>>54763723
hope you like it
I like it enough except for the bracelet that ill prob get a resin one myself soon
>>54763775
That would be nice, but as for shipping money, all I have is a code for $5 on Amazon if you want... or a steam game

I gave it a thought, I live in kangaroo land. So shipping from here would be expensive, you'd be better off buying your own, I would even give it to you for free. But shipping is a joke. Seiko 5 have the movement from the guide if you wanted to get your own

you donate to him and he will review any watch favorably, see his glowing review of the tag heuer carrera for example.
it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has watched any of his videos, he regularly takes a great deal of time out to beg for money in exchange for putting your name on his refrigerator in the background.
his good taste in watches aside, the man really is a small step up from a street walking whore
>>54758160
52XX cals area definitely worth it, though the other ones i recommended are also pretty good.
One thing about the 5206 cal is either pay a lil more cheaply or modify it with the 5216's strengthened day/date parts.
>>54764101
I also live in kangaroo land.
Whilst not the op I am curious about horology and the 7s26, can i take you up on the same deal?
i never asked for these feels
>>54765048
if it gives you feels - it's probably a scam

Thanks
>>54763723
I'll stick to Casio.
>>54765060
Even if it is, you gotta give it to the fucker for invoking feels. Now I have the mental picture of an old, frail man being roused by from a dream about younger, happier times by some shitty g-shock, waking up to find himself back in his dark and droll bedroom, stuck with the same limitations he had before going to sleep.
>>54765124

Well it's not a big change from mentally disabled on the bed so it's possible.

Well, price wise averaging per piece you paid about as much as i did for my fleamarket find.
First one is a transitional post soviet pieces, and it's alright overall. Second is a nice common soviet tank Dirskie.
3rd one is interesting, because it's a very rare dial paratrooper dial with Zakaz inscription. But the hands are in very poor shape.

It does, or at least it loosens up.
It's not very noticeable and I doubt reviewers wear what they review for long periods of time.
It happens with heat and sweat etc.... for long periods of time. I've had and worn my 5610 for about three years.

>>54757794
Are Skagen watches any good?
>>54767162
Overpriced chinkshit.
>>54767180
>>54767175
In that case what eould you suggest for a sub $150 minimalist watch
>>54767197
Orient Bambino (V1 or V3) or Orient Symphony.
Probably at least another 20~ options in the used/vintage range. Mostly Seiko salarymen models.
>>54767236
Orients all seem to look the same to me, and i already have one
I found the automatic feature to lose 2+ seconds daily even with daily wear
>>54759298
First analog G-shock I don't hate
>>54767354
2 seconds per day is very good.
If you're so anal about accuracy you might as well get one of these ugly radio controlled Gshocks.
I love the sound of Hi-Beat in the morning
>>54767499
I just prefer quartz movement, id be fine with losing time on an automstic if the hand could be stopped to correct it but in mine it cant be unless i let the power drain.
>>54767618
So buy a watch that has hacking.
>>54767674
Mind suggesting one? Im not experienced with automatics so i dont know what good options are for <$150
>>54767162
Nope
>>54767571
Cute
>>54767701
SRP703 or SRP701 come to mind.
Am I a wristlet?
>>54767618
maybe a vintage junghans?
idk if they made any minimalist quartz watches though
>>54767236
>Orient Bambino (V3)
too bad about the awful, ugly hour and minute hands. how much of a hassle would it be to change them?
>>54768207
A lot.
Since you would need to source a set of hands that will fit on that movement.
>>54768191
Pretty sure they made quite a few quartz and electrical watches.
And also a quartz Max Bill.
Do any of you have any experience with Lord Timepieces or any other of those kinda companies? I know that they just sell shitty Chinese watches but the prices are really good and I would like to know what any of you think of them
>>54764444
If you want m8. Where are you from?
The watch is a shitter, don't expect much from it besides a movement to practice from
>>54769133
What type of movement is this?
>>54769295
Citizen electro-mechanical movement. I think that's a 48XX series.
Really neat movements used in Cosmotron series watches, but these are some of the older lower beat ones. (21600 or 28800bph)
>>54769295
some kind of mechaquartz? perhaps just a mechanical with a light?
>>54764444
>>54769282
Feel free to hit me up whenever, I usually namefag, I should be around sometime this weekend in these threads
>>54769356
It uses a battery instead of a main spring
meca quartz is used to refer to Seiko's shitty chronograph movement.
>>54767701
Just save up for a SARB
If you need a watch right now get a terrorist to hold you over.
>>54765048
Why can't he just get an alarm clock?

Hey /wt/, do you guys think I could screwdriver-wind a Seiko movement that has the "magic lever" system, or will that kill the pawl levers/reduction wheel?
Pic related, 7009A, the movement in question.
>>54769989
I've seen Spencer K. do it on 6309 and 610X movements without any problems, and i don't think there should be much of an issue.
>>54770035
Okay. I was given a 7009 Seiko 5 to regulate and I needed a way to half- and fully wind it without actually having to wear someone else's watch for hours.
>>54769827
is it any good tho?
>>54768039
2big4u
>>54770458
I'm actually amazed by it's quality, it shouldn't be different from the original desu.
I honestly hate Denzel Washington and quartz fashion watches but for 4€ you can't do anything wrong, plus it's not for me but for my gf who mentioned once she likes the design of this watch. I wouldn't ever want to be caught dead wearing this desu.
For a normie girl is totally acceptable though.
Any guide on how to diagnose faults beyond the usual timing and beat error by the timegraphers readouts? Best thing I found so far was a book from 1967 with a measly four examples.
>>54770702
Never mind, found a good one.
http://www.awci.com/wp-content/uploads/watch-tech-guides/Cleaning-Machine/b200.pdf
Good read, my friends.
>>54770458
It has a Chinese Miyota clone probably, I have one and it's indistinguishable from the real deal.
>>54769335
Seiko 0703 > Citizen 48xx
>>54769989
It's pretty hard to hurt a 7009, and my watchmaker winds them with wooden sticks all the time. It will be fine.
>>54767162
The name reminds me of "shit" in my language. Pretty fitting.
>>54767354

Yesterday at the workplace the sales girl pressed her juicy firm pornstar tits against the glass of the watchmaker bench with me inside. I don't think it was on purpose, but still it was a nice of her.
>>54770645
i tend to agree - for a 2quid watch it's rather nice
>>54771260
Citizen 78xx is even better.
>>54769827
>>54770645
Why would you ever put your penis inside someone who doesn't recognize shit when she sees it, though?
Just the thought nauseates me.
>>54771571
I got one as well.
The quality is great for the price and keeps time surprisingly well.Got it like 3 months ago and it has only a 1 minute gain.
But I have to find a strap that I like for this watch. I dislike Nato straps and the leather strap it came with is absolute shit, so I might get a blue perlon or just keep this into a drawer.
>>54771491
That well, yeah.
>>54769734
D.

The Western college-system is not only an expensive daycare for young adults, but also for mediocre intellectuals as well.
>>54771790
From my experience even real intellectuals most of the time aren't able to have a normal relationship, let alone occupy an educational position.
How the fuck can a mature person yell like a retard to a student just because he isn't prepared for an exam? For what she knows it might have been due to force majeure. Ok, he's probably just a retard but still.
And obviously the next person to be interrogated was me. My life is a joke.

>>54771515

The frogman is the most used watch alongside a dive computer.
Mostly because it does about 90% of what a dive computer can do at a fraction of the price.
The new triple sensor frogman IS a dive computer.
>>54771994
The best part was how I got kicked out as well (I'm very anxious during oral exams) and the next time, a couple of weeks later, I got 28/30.

>How do I get a job selling watches? Seems like the perfect summer gig
Be a normie with nice tits. I work there as a beginner watchmaker though. I do the simple, un-fuckuppable shit like batteries, bracelets, WR-testing and shit while my watchmaker sensei evaluates and educates me, and gives me some spare/junkshit to actually fix, to see if I could eventually handle big-boy jobs (e.g. mech service/repair, chronos).
>>54772002
No, I'm dead serious, fucko. Solid gold Submariners ARE the most used watches for diving.
>>54771504
No that's what it's like to be an aspie.

>Solid gold Submariners ARE the most used watches for diving.
I don't know why but I don't believe that.

Oh I will.
Pre meds are afraid of him because he's the head of the commettie that writes the letters that they need. I don't need it and frankly I have nothing to fucking lose. He made this past year fucking hell for me.
Do you know how hard it is for someone with /r9k/- tier depression to be forced to socialized on a day to day basis? Not to mention how I had to fucking force myself to study while every fiber of my being just didn't and couldn't do it.
>>54771952
>These sad parasites want to get the full out of every little morsel of real power they have.
The syllabus said that he curves the class avg to a 75. Which is actually very low for the 2nd hardest undergrad class. A 40 in Yale is an A in their orgo classes.
What the syllabus doesn't say is that he fucking drops the low end of the curve. So if the class avg is a 50 he inflates it to a fucking 70, avoiding having to give us a curve.
After the first exam 2/3rds of the class dropped dispute the avg being a "75".
I'm an A student with the Occasional B+, it's not like a C student arguing for a D to pass the fucking class.
/rant sorry for being a faggot and shitting up the thread.

>>54772275
No, Yurop.
>I'd totally do that, even for minimum wage.
If you own your own place, and all the profit goes directly to you, you can make a sickening amount of shekels just from batteries alone. I'm of course far from that, but I should make decent money for a starter job, where you just sit around bored for half the day.

I couldn't bring myself to do it, to have a relationship, intimacy, with a person like that.
>>54773967
Still thou
>>54773017
What exactly do you mean by ugly?
>>54768241
I just went to their website.
Every watch they sell is $15 or less on AliExpress. They don't even bother to change the shitty brand names.
>>54771515
>Fuck, I've been underwater for so long, I'd better check what day it is.
>>54772901
It's the best looking G-Shock range though.
>>54774032
Still what?
>>54774270
It's an ugly piece of plastic shit. Also digi-digi crap.
>>54774390
The best looking shit is still shit.
>>54774504
Oh boy its you
What the fuck does "digi-digi" even mean?
Just say digital you fucking sperg
>>54774563
Ana-digi, like vintage Seikos and Citizens are not yet absolut shit, but full digital are for retarded manchilds and hipster sperglords.
>not even once
>>54774611
>pic related
>>54774293
>I've been living in this fucking can for two weeks now, what day is it even?
>>54774611
Holy shit
I've never seen someone so assblasted over a type of watch. Chill out man
>>54774731
Death to all digi-digi turds
>he doesn't have an Adventure Time watch
>>54774563
These look like chink knockoffs.
>>54774270
>>54774504
I'd just like to clarify that I am not digi-digi anon. I just think the watch looks tacky. It definitely looks better than the other g-shocks but it's looks somewhat childish to me. I'll probably still end up getting it because of how practical it is.
>this triggers poorfags
>>54769282
I was seriously considering getting into fixing watches so it's an opportunity i wouldn't pass up. I want to but some cheap broken seiko and ancient slav watches to fix up so a shitter i can pull apart and put back together would be awesome.
I live waaaaaay up in the taswegian mountain ranges so i don't have a driveway or mailbox but i got a friend who i can send it to and ill pick it up from him
>>54774890
There are other rugged digitals that casio makes you know
Obviously not built anywhere near as strong as a g shock but still much better than your avg watch
>>54774851
Colors = knock off to you?
>>54774798
I'll just continue triggering you then you autistic fuck
Just got it yesterday
boss time
>>54775469
>>54773009
anywhere you can buy this from with fast shipping (like couple of days) ? obvi with some sort of premium, but a similar price for the product itself?
Alright /g/ the Father's Day sales are rolling in. What cheap casual watch should I get?
What's a good cheap analog that looks nice?
>>54776333
Timex Weekender
Medfag here, turns out I need to use 24 hour time
Why shouldn't I get a Russian submarine watch?
>>54776341
That can't be heard over a tornado?
>>54776364

>>54775287
I done an estimate on a generic looking place in Tasmania and Australia post gave and estimate of 8.25 aud for delivery
A big thanks to Meijer for putting some smartwatch shit on clearance. Picked up three straps for $1.20 each, pic related and two greyish brown ones that need a lighter dial.
>tfw the strap cost more than the watch
>>54776391
Timex Weekender. The sound is pretty exaggerated on this board.
>>54776418
I'd get a Seagull in that case
>>54776173
Either gold (authentic) Rolex or you don't love your father.
>>54777007
>gold rolex
>casual
Maybe if you're a rapper.
Can I ask what you guys do for a living to afford your watches and shit?
I'm trying to get into pharm school but it seems like that would lock me into a serious wagecuck lifestyle unless I go work at Dubai or something
I know 9fag is some kind of engineer or something
>>54762074
>being this ass hurt over an ugly taxi driver watch
>>54777893
I earn fuck all, but have ample money for watches, but I usually spend my money on clothes. Just don't have kids, don't go on lavish holidays, don't buy assets that decrease in value substansially (cars) and don't get loans (House is an exception) and you will have heaps of disposable income
Investment is a decent way to obtain money for watches imo. Obviously you would have to look at the market but buying real estate can net you a $10000 increases in a matter of months. Stock , bonds and securities, I won't go into those
Not that applicable to someone in your line of work, but I know tradesmen who do cash jobs on the weekends and buy stupid stuff with the money, they get a few mates around and shout them beers and make $1000 in a day
>>54778160
>Don't buy a car
>in America
>>54778182
I was getting at buying a new car
You could buy a new car for 40k (probably pay a loan off as well) and in 5 years it is worth 20k
You could of bought a patek phillpe with the money you loose in depreciation
>>54778216
Still beats driving around in $1000 shit boxes just to satisfy a hobby
>>54778238
But driving around in anything more expensive than a basic shitbox is a hobby in its own way, too.
>>54778269
Tell that to all the people buying nicer cars that aren't automotive enthusiasts, you'll have a hard time telling a white collar business owner to show up at an event in a Corolla instead of his S Class
>>54778238
You don't have to buy a shitty car, just not a new one. A new car will lose thousands in value just driving it off the lot, buy a used one.
>>54778238
Why are you bullying me? :(
Buying cars you can't afford on the dollar of a Jewish banker only leads to a substantial decrease in ones wealth
Anyway. I was getting at owning a used Toyota Corolla instead of getting a loan for a 6.2L Vf commodore, which you spend $100 a week on tyres and $1000 every two months for the tyres you shred cutting sick to impress you mates
>>54778304
but I want to be the first one to really rip a fart into the driver's seat
>>54778332
Bogans I swear to God
>>54772901
Had this watch for 8 years, battery is just starting to croak. Goes into "ps" power save mode every day now ;_;
how does one become a watch designer?
>>54778615
By designing watches
>>54778301
>Tell that to all the people buying nicer watches that aren't horology enthusiasts, you'll have a hard time telling a white collar business owner to show up at an event in a Casio instead of his TAG Huehue
>>54778238
Good cars aren't that expensive
A v6 civic wont cost that much new and it's a great everyday car thats super fun to drive, especially the manual.
Heck you can go full nigger with a v6 Mustang and it'll still be around 20k.
>>54778829
>V6 Civic
>>54778406
It's trivial to replace the battery.
You can find them on pacparts or ebay and there's a million and one guides on how to do it.
Could you post pics of the underside of the case though?
Some anons were talking about how the parts expand or something, I'd like to verify that
>>54778840
It's a very practical car that you can rev to 9k.
The shifter has a fantastic feel as well.
What's the problem?
>>54778874
>Civic
>V6
>>54778879
You're going to have to express yourself in a less autistic way pal
>>54778912
The Honda Civic was never sold with a V6 engine in its 40+ year run
>>54778874
hoonda manuals are pretty slick. nice, light clutch as well. just prepare for pain if you leave your car out in the sun for a few hours because your shift knob will be hot AF.
as for watch talk, been thinking about getting a bulova 96b253 (pic attached). any thoughts?
>>54778923
Oh fuck I totally meant v-tech
The accord has a v6 option and so does the mustang.
Still a good car though. I drove my friend's a few months back and loved how smooth the shifting was and how nice it felt to go into 3rd.
>>54779050
You can't just unscrew it and put in a new one? I see BMW fags do it all the time with gaudy skull shift knobs and shit.
Also it's a good watch but it eats batteries. Also might be kinda big
>>54776807
but it isn't though. and it's definitely not only complained about on this board, literally everyone complains
>>54774822
link?
>>54779086
>You can't just unscrew it and put in a new one? I see BMW fags do it all the time with gaudy skull shift knobs and shit.
oh yeah, the only aftermarket "mod" on my car is the delrin-like shift knob I got from one of those ricer stores at chinatown malls
>Also it's a good watch but it eats batteries. Also might be kinda big
yeah, I'm more worried about the size than anything else. how long do the batteries in these bulova movements normally last?
>>54779192
About three years, google tells me.
>>54759298
What model is that?
>>54775287
>I live waaaaaay up in the taswegian mountain ranges so i don't have a driveway or mailbox
How does something like this even happen?
What if you're sick? You just wait for death like an animal?

Are these legit?
Like if they were Seiko 5 quality I'd be happy with them

>>54757794
That's an angry looking watch
>>54773890
No one knows if my watch is good? ;(
>>54780300
We don't really like kenetics because the caps blow after a while.
Decent although mall tier watches though
>>54774822
You don't have an adventure time watch either. You have an adventure time app.
>>54780300
Your Thinkpad is fine. Kinetics are kind of redundant.
Already have a meme watch and looking to buy another, thinking of getting a steinhart ocean one or gmt. Though I'm not quite certain whether the gmt is worth an extra 100. I'd have a use for the gmt hand since my mom lives in America, but then again I might as well just do the math in my head.
>>54780578
Penis Quartz has potential my friend. They are pretty cheap and very abundant, you can get one to fit any budget
And technically you own a King seiko
>>54776983
>Doesn't want to look like a commie
>Going to get a watch from communist China.
I just got this, moonphase and lume. only downside is that it doesn't display the month but that's fine.
>>54776364
Get it
>>54775361
I like this
>>54776648
Cool how you want to organise this?
>>54778182
move out of the flyover boonies into a proper city and you won't need a car
>>54778635
I find the opposite to be true.
I tien up in a nice watch and everyone is wearing smart watches
>>54779843
Helicopters bro
How does the Weekender loudness compares with an HMT Pilot?
Because I have a poo watch and it is loud as fuck.
what do you guys think of Junkers watches?
>>54781431
They have a solid reputation and look nice
>>54776173
Depends on the father, and your budget, a white sarb on a bracelet, springbar tool and tan strap would be a combo many, but not all fathers would appreciate, for example.
>>54776173

My father has a couple of Seiko/Citizen on the 300 bucks range and he only wears the terrorist watch.
>>54781301
Yeah but what the fuck are you doing there, are you a biologist or something?
Is it good for the price? I like Glycine.
