I didn't want to spent 50 bucks on a new mesh strap + spring bars so I jerry rigged it on a chink mesh I had laying around.
It works suprisingly well. BTFO'd my thumb in the process though
Fuck fat spring bars. Fuck them hard.

Who else is hiding there watches so there drug addicted house hold members don't steal them?
>>55423279
Has anyone in the US ever purchased from Page & Cooper? Their ex-VAT prices are a steal at the current good-boy-points to freedom bucks exchange rate, compared to US ADs or even asian ADs like Gnomon. New Sinns and Damaskos are being offered at close to average pre-owned prices on ebay. What's the catch? Will I be hit with exorbitant customs fees?
>>55423625
Perhaps you should not spend your money on watches and instead save up to move out of there.
>>55423738
My watches are worth fuck all. Work 20 a week on minimum wage
>>55423644
Which one are you looking at?
If it's any of the marathon watches look a mwc. Military watch company.
Also in British pounds but actually good watches and a bit cheaper than marathon
if your watch is worth less than a thousand dollars then what's the point?
>>55423644

My girlfriend's druggie sister moved in two months ago. At first I tolerated her but then I started noticing that little things went missing, so I began locking my watches in a cabinet.
One day I stupidly left my Visodate, arguably one of my best watches, just lying on my desk. Sure enough when I got home it was gone. While I couldn't prove anything I knew it was her worthless sister who took it. Probably pawned it off somewhere for a week's worth of drug money. After an argument with my girlfriend, we basically just changed the locks and told the good-for-nothing to go live with her parents.
Sometimes my girlfriend still complains that we were overly harsh for throwing her out over a watch, but the callous disrespect for property (from a "family member" we took in, no less) was just too much to bear. I feel for you, anon. Nothing worse than constantly being worried about having your shit stolen out of your own home.

if you wore an radium lune watch 24/7, 365-- you'd be exposed to 65-130 millirems of radiation
you get +300 millirems of radiation a year for just existing on Earth. and even that could be higher depending on what you do/where you live.
plus radium in these quantities only become dangerous if you are constantly inhaling radioactive dust particles. aka opening the watch and working on it all the time.
also, who the fuck would wear the same watch every day?

I don't. The strap and watch combo legitimately reminds me of my dishwasher. Too much polished steel for me. I was actually thinking about putting a mesh strap on my Pulsar but I have ultimately decided to go with a (forest) green NATO.

Actually the worst in their series. I get 3 days on it, a week if on airplane mode.
But its all about the utility for me and this watch has a lot of that to offer.
>>55427129

Why is pebble battery so shit? I thought eink is superior.
I'm getting 7 days of use (a few calls and messages per day, rarely checking weather or controlling player) on an old Sony SW2.

>>55426943
I thought the hodinkee article or official page would tell you that. It's minimalism done well in most regards. Mechanically simple and robust yet very easy to use and accurate, extremely well thought out from an engineering standpoint and quite some from a design standpoint and finally - fully customizable.
I find smartwatches mimicing traditional retarded. Specially pixelated illegibility faux subdials - and since they know the full date at all times with no problems, why not display it as a perpetual calendar? Any tiny line isn't suitable for the current smartwatches, so I find Ochs design that's intended for maximum legibilty and intuitivty pretty suitable. And less boring than your current that's purely functional.
Oh but skip the seconds hand. If you want exact precision you should use a digital readout anyway and I'm fairly sure no smartwatch manages to look better than even a 18000vph watch. And it's sleeker.
>>55423511
>shitty, plastic/rubber version of already mediocre Void watch
pls no
>>55427170
I read it over and man the minimalism and the way to tell everything analogously is amazing.
>why not display it as a perpetual calendar
I really want to imitate this design on the Pebble Round, but I agree with you that thin lines on this resolution is very illegible.
>>55427156
I don't know, I think they sacrificed battery to make it lighter and smaller.
The other pebbles can go 7-14, and 30+ on airplane mode.
>>55426032
Beautiful watches. Look MUCH more expensive than they are. Really a premium watch.
>>55427156
It's not real eink.
It's some low res low power LCD display.
Simar to what you'd find in a Casio digital watch for example. But evolved.
Also Pebble doesn't even make their own display which is why their watches have the huge bezel. They basically picked out a display from the market and adapted their electronics to it.
So until Pebble designs and orders their own display, the design and display capabilities will be directly tied to the Japanese company that makes those LCDs
>>55423511
i really like the design of this watch and i was looking for an alternative to my f-91w. i almost ordered it until i saw the size of the watch
>W38 x H44 x D11 mm
the fuck? why is it so huge?
>>55427603
Also, another thing that bothers me about Pebble is that they still use Kickstarter.
They are an established company with several products out on the market now. They shouldn't be begging their users for money every time they want to make a new watch.
It rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

I just bought a vintage 1950-60's Girard Perregaux watch from ebay that was listed as a men's watch. I just received it and it's a little smaller than I anticipated. It measures 27mm x 27mm. Is this actually a women's watch or was it normal for square watches to be this small of a size for men back then? I'm wondering if I should wear it or return it... I really like the watch just not sure about the size.
>>55430033
£200 is certainly punchy for a quartz
Most I've spent on a watch is £100 and that was on an Orient
>>55430107
>Is this actually a women's watch or was it normal for square watches to be this small of a size for men back then?
We live in 2016. You can be whatever you want
>>55430116
I figure at over £100 below retail if I don't like it I can stick it on eBay & make a small profit.
Or you can just send it back within 60 days with Chris Ward.
>>55430107
Not sure about the size but that look quite nice.
>>55430061
Why? It's good and it's on sale. Can't get anything better for €1,15.
>>55430130
oh boy as much as I would love to be an ambiguous, gender fluid drone...i just want to know if I got a women's watch or a classic sized men's watch.
>>55430107
It isn't really a feminine design.
And it fits your wrist.
>>55430153
>>55430192
Okay thanks. Here's another pic with my full forearm for a relative size comparison. I'm leaning towards just wearing it.
>>55430107
No, that's totally a man's watch. Vintage watches are much smaller than what's popular and common today and square/rectangular watches are typically less millimeters than round.
>>55430247
1. Don't wear it on your hand
2. Stop being fat, fatty
3. Stop wearing a classic dress watch with a shitty modern short sleeved shirt.
Other than that you're ok.
>>55430247
For reference, the original reverso was 24mm across, but it is taller.

You can return it within 60 days as far as I know with no questions asked, not after 60 days.

>Our success depends on you being completely happy with your Christopher Ward watch. If for any reason you aren’t, you have up to 60 days to return your watch FREE of charge and receive a replacement or full refund by return without any quibbles or excuses from us.

This would make a great watch face for a smart watch.
As far as sub dials, I always try and rig them to show battery of phone/watch on analog faces if they are present. Lately I've been using Radii, which I think matches the minimalism you're looking for while also making a watch face that's easy to read and basically only possible on a smartwatch. This is a pretty dark picture, but you can see everything legibly. Left dots represent days, number is date, center number is hour, the orbiting number is day, it has an orbiting dot on the minute number that represents seconds, and the side line represents battery life of the watch.
What watch is my wife's son's grandmother wearing?

>Each index on the dial is 5 days ahead of the previous. So you should be able to immediately see it's on the 15th in that image.
No, I can't, and no normal person can, because you have to be TAUGHT how to read the fucking watch. Adults need to have it EXPLAINED TO THEM, that's what any person with a command of the English language would describe as "unintuitive".
It's not minimalism, there is still a sub-dial spinning under that dial feeding you data, the only difference is that it's not got any information printed on the actual sub-dial. You're reading data, not information. It's not clever, it's shit.

What fills the void is a meaningful existence. A sense of accomplishment. A feeling that you've made a difference in improving yourself and others. When you drop 3 months salary on a watch, the watch represents your life's toil. 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week, of your life sold to the highest bidder. You are wearing all of that, on your wrist. The wrist you type with. The wrist you lift with. The wrist you work with and play with and masturbate with. It will be a constant, intimate reminder of the value of your labor. And that is why an affordable, disposable watch will never fill that void.
>>55426853
When they don't look like shit and the battery life isn't shit.
Casio is the only brand to be getting somewhere with their bluetooth solar G-Shocks and Edifices. Pic related is also a great idea, except the battery life is still shit, but at least it's a watch.
I'm thinking there are two ways the smartwatch segment will gain momentum: watch brands make smartwatches that are actually watches, or phone manufacturers make watch-sized phones that aren't just slaved devices that only duplicate what a phone can do.
So far there's only Casio and Timex timidly getting into smartwatches, and we have no watch-sized phones. So the answer is "not today".

>So tempted to get this. The quality is amazing for a cheap chink fake
Ftfy
>>55438537
Fingers crossed, put some pics up when you get it. I toyed with the one you're getting but I was worried that the different colour bezel would look weird.
>>55438776
I thought of going for a "high quality rep", but if I'm spending a few hundred I'd rather get a genuine japanese or vintage piece than a fake that I can't even verify the quality of before buying.
Ebay just emailed me to say my Pulsar PW3001 is out for delivery. I'm away with work so hopefully it will be waiting for me when I get home along with my super engineer bracelet to put it on.
Although I might put my C60 300 I just ordered on the bracelet.
Test.
Post some pretty watches.
>>55440056
I don't have pretty watches, I've got a few petty ones though
Can someone explain what the fuck those 3 different tiny clocks mean on a chronograph?
>>55440100
9 o'clock dial = seconds hand for telling time
6 o'clock dial = stopwatch hours counter
3 o'clock dial = stopwatch minutes counter
3 main hands = hours minutes and stopwatch seconds
The placement of things can change slightly from watch to watch though.
>>55440100
Standard seconds
The other two will be elapased time of some kind, wether it be minutes, hours or rarely fractions of seconds
>>55440056
Nice commiegraph.
Also, 6138 reissue when?
>>55440100
Not all chronographs have 3 "clocks". Some have 2 (like the one I posted) some only have 1 (like the Seiko 7018), while somr have one that functions as two or more (Seiko 7016). The one you're looking at, if it has 3 subdials, is most likely a Valjoux 7750, in which case they most likely show a sub seconds hand, a minute counter and an hour counter.
>>55440169
The Speedmaster really is the greatest Chronograph aesthetics and function wise
who /Bocтok/ here?

Worth as a diver? I have an skx and some vintage tissot seastars . I was looking in to getting a vostok diver just like that . I'll be diving with it next month and I like the aesthetics.
Should i get this or an orange monster? i don't care about Water Resistance, even 30m is fine for me. this watch is cheaper and has a transparent caseback which i'd prefer over the solid one on the monster besides this watch is significantly cheaper than the monster.
>>55440497
I just wish the finishing was better.
I went to a boutique last month to check out a Speedy, and while it is undoubtedly great for, say, a $2,500 watch, it is decidedly subpar for something that costs over $6,000 retail.
Omega thinks it can price its shit like Rolex... Swatch must be dreaming. There is no way they can compete on quality.
also looking at this to complement whichever seiko i end up buying , I don't know anything about Invicta, are their watches considered good? from what i understand this one has a rebranded seiko 5 movement inside.
>>55439270
That's what I thought too until I discover that I need to step up into a SARX level if I want to get something with similar quality.
>>55436436
Enjoy your wristwatch shitshow.
>>55440925
The 8926OB is pretty good. The movement is actually a slightly upgraded seiko 5 movement, it hacks and handwinds.
I've owned 2 and both had a quality control issue, on the first one the caseback gasket was off its track and whichever monkey assembled it just torqued down the caseback on top of it. It took me 2 hours of hammering a flathead screwdriver against the caseback to get it off.
The most recent one had a date magnifier that was way crooked.
I used both watches as a base for modification (see >>55429781), you should consider doing that as well
>>55436889
Has day/date and is ecordrive. Nice! You have my support anon.
>>55441025
i am not handy enough to mod a watch, so if they have QC issues then i'd rather not risk it since i can get another Seiko 5 at about the same price.
>>55440888
Skx if you can find one. Monster is fine if you really like it over the skx.
Or a sea urchin.
Post watches you're waiting on
>>55440925
Get a Casio mdv106
>>55440888
Monster is an excellent watch though.
My daily wear while in the army.

Wrong (and shitty) pic though.

Wow, that's a very cute combo.
>>55439249
I'll be happy to post some photos
I've had a quick look to see if you can change the bezel insert but I've not come across anything yet
I'll probably ask on WUS later
>>55440634
They're good as divers, but the movement isn't anything to write home about. Well, actually it is because it's really not accurate
The seals also seem to have higher failure rates than other divers
>>55437732
You might be thinking of the Frederique Constant Horological Smartwatch or the Tag Heuer Connected.
>>55441092
I have an 8926OB and my dad had one too
No QC issues here, but I'm not saying that >>55441025 didn't have any. I was a bit concerned about QC issues but we had no issues in the time we owned them
My dad sold his because it wasn't his thing, and I'll probably sell mine because it's a bit too big on me
>>55441580
>>55441692
Oh yea it was the Tag Heuer
To cop, or not to cop?

Almost.

Kek, there is seriously something wrong with me. For ~13 days I figured if I pretended to be a Christain I would start to believe in God but I just can't do it anymore. The deeper and deeper I got into the Bible the more and more I was being reminded how retarded this shit is. Atleast I've stopped masturbating. But I love Vodka and will never be able to abandon it.

>>55440917
What?
The finishing on the speedy is amazing,I don't know what your quality concerns are regarding Omega
>>55442055
I found the finish on my speedmaster underwhelming
>>55442072
What does that even mean
>>55442092
Means it wasn't good enough.
>>55441971
>tfw in my country people like me are not called "atheist", they're called "normal"
Feels good. Meanwhile in America the same people who built the creationist museum just built a $100mil replica of Noah's Ark.
>>55440555
I have one, also a 110. It's decent and keeps good time but the non curved lugs really annoy me. It's fits so weird, very annoying and uncomfortable.
Mother of god. This watch is so beautiful.
>>55438776
All the pelagos reps are top tier.
https://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/200727-V6F-KW-Tudor-Pelagos-gen-vs-rep-side-by-side-(photos)
Really great reps. Get the old version unless you specifically want the blue one (and replace the movement with a gen ETA and you have pretty much a perfect rep.
Make sure you get a good one with straight markers though.
>>55442346
Why Seiko can make similar minimalist watches? I don't have the money for this watch. Fuck it.
>>55442360
If Seiko makes a mechanical perpetual calendar like that, I assure you, it will also be expensive as fuck.
>>55435942
What!? American insurances pay you if a nigger steals you?
>be me

>buy a rolex with drug's money
>also contract an insurance
>we made a plot with tha homies: De wayne is going to 'steal' my watch and the insurance will pay me for a new rolex
>sheeeeeiiiittt
uh.
>>55442409
What about this?
It's not very complicated. I would love to have a watch like this. I don't care if is a scagen or a replica.
>>55442458
Insurance fraud is a thing with many kinds of insurance. That being said Tyron often does not get away with it.
You should be able to get insurance against theft anywhere. It's not an American thing.
it's finished lads
I love it
>>55442535
Looks cheap
>>55442535
I think it's pretty cool! Not crazy about the hour and minute hand but all in all not bad.
>>55442495
If you care only about the basic design elements of a watch and not quality or execution then I'm sure there's stuff out there that you would like and can afford.
>>55442556
yeah, I'd really prefer ones with lume on them, they don't look right without lume
I've got this seiko 5 somewhere, I might pull the hands off it and swap them
>>55442535
it's almost like it's a picture of a seiko 5 taken with a smartphone camera with artificial lighting
I'll go grab my A6000 and see if I can get a better picture

You have a Speedmaster, NineFag? I'm glad to see someone agrees with me, the cult surrounding the MAAAN ON THE MOOOOOOOOOON is fucking unbearable at times.

My watches are covered under my homeowners' insurance. Not even a murrican.

I live in Liberal state (which isn't a good thing) so I don't get shit for being an athiest. Not that it's ever come up. I am not a fedora tipper who purposefully looks to start arguments with religious people. I just ignore them if they say something stupid.

I would take a Heuer Carerra over a Speedy any fucking day of the week.
Keep in mind, Heuer is not the same as TAG HUEHUE
>>55442677
I had one at one time
>>55441023
Thanks, I didn't buy it though.
>>55441639
I imagine you can, if they take the same size insert as a sub you could get a ceramic one from aliexpress.
