>>18236920Beautiful. They definitely don't make bracelets like that anymore.
>>18236807GSs are really nice, but when you compare a GS to a Seiko 5, its hard to tell the difference out of the boxes. >but the GS uses a different metal and a completely autistic polishing method and a slightly different movement!So in reality Grand Seikos shouldn't be more than like $4000, but instead they add on $10k for provenance?
I bet you're wondering how I could afford this?Want to know more about me?
>>18236922>>18236922>They definitely don't make bracelets like that anymore.Check out this interview of Piaget's director of heritagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=275Zz4M6mQsHe explains these bracelets too hours to make, as they were entirely hand made and hand finished.The annoying thing is they were basically custom made, so you have to have the right wrist size to wear them (you can't adjust them).I almost bought pic related last year but the bracelet was too long.
How do you replace an LCD that's fading out in an old Casio?
>>18236936Yeah, you have to disassemble the entire thing and replace the internal module. Are you sure its not just a bad battery unable to provide full voltage?
>>18236924>GSs are really niceThey're dogshit.
>>18236938The pic is from reddit, not mine. I'm asking because some vintage Casios on eBay have that problem. What to do when the module is discontinued and you can't find it new?
>>18236920>pathek el..lipsthethssssss
>>18236933Very cool. Thanks.
>>18236936>>18236938>>18236940Do gshocks crumble or melt or something over time? How long can one last?
>>18236920How are these bracelets made?
>>18236948They're basically milanese bracelets. Then it's just finishing. In that case it's done with a small hammer.
>>18236946>How long can one last?A lifetime, as long as you change battery/module/lcd when needed.
What dress watch do I buy if I'm a man with a 5.5" (14cm) wrist? Everything that isn't huge is for women. My autism is making me think I could buy a 32mm version of picrel and somehow make it look good with new bands, but I'm probably being delusional.
>>18236958They only started calling sub-40mm watches women watches in the last 20 years. Its a "emerging market" trend based on ethnic diversity. Its like a mexican / italian cop-out. Get a tank style watch or find a 38mm dress watch.
>>18236958What you posted is a field watch, not a dress watch.
>>18236884I can go into detail about my experience but not here, send me the link to the other thread.>>18236902Nice watch man. Why is the whiskey only 8 years aged?
>>18236964Holy fuck no one cares these threads aren't your live-journal. Seek validation elsewhere.
>>18236961>38mm dress watchI'll look. I guess it would be better to have something a little bulky than having to cope with the fact my watch is for women.>>18236963I'm aware, yeah. I'm doing mental gymnastics and trying to convince myself it wouldn't look tacky. Out of curiosity, are there any dress watches that sorta take design elements of what I posted and "refine" them? Or are they fundamentally incompatible?
>>18236939They're not, just overpriced. Yeah they're super pretty, well made, a lot of expertise when into making them and they're great watches. But not $15k+ watches.
>>18236973They're garbage thought and made for soibeans people. Visit a dumpster, find a used brain, ask for a transplant.
Okay hear me outRolex + Omega = RedditTudor + Longines = 4chanSeiko + Citizen = Reddit larping as 4chan
>>18236975My dude, if that dumpster brain is as rotten as yours I don't want it. You're a lunatic if you think it falls into the dogshit category.
>>18236958Cartier Tank Louis. It fits anyone's wrist.
think i posted about how i ordered this yesterday but im reading amazon reviews now and people are shitting on the band. i think its pretty ugly and people are saying its low quality too.what kind of band should i get for this? my two options are either a black nato strap or some black leather strap. also the bands are 18mm for this which im pretty sure is odd for a 36mm watch.budget is like $35, nothing fancy
>>18236927Why was it so expensive? It's an invicta for crying out loud.
>>18236970>Out of curiosity, are there any dress watches that sorta take design elements of what I posted and "refine" them? Or are they fundamentally incompatible?The term "dress watch" is a neologism. The right term would be "traditional watch".The very first wrist watches (1910s-1920s) were very basic.>no water resistance>no shock/magnetic resistance>low beat rate>no lume>no central second handThey were meant to be worn in the city, mostly by wealthy people (or in some cases, pilots). As technology and needs evolved, new categories of watches emerged. What we call a field watch is basically a traditional/dress watch with lume, shock resistance and a central second hand.In short, all wrist watches have a common ancestor, which are called "dress watch" nowadays.What you're looking for is what some call an "all-rounder" or an "everyday watch". Something that can be worn casually or with a suit.
>>18236980Countycomm
>>18236958You're in the position were all the exquisite 32mm mens watches of yesteryear would look proportionate on your wrist.Old pateks, VC's, Ap's and others that nobody wants. Go look for a good deal.
>>18236964It's not the board or general I use, but it's an appropriate thread>>>/jp/47731299
>>18236958Yes, what >>18236985 said: Go find a 60's or 70's watch with some patina on it. You can find a great Omega Seamaster 30 or a De Ville from the 60s for under $400 easy.
>>18236973>they're super prettyI think 99% of them look like trash, but that's subjective right? My main problem is how they're entirely polished, which I think is a terrible thing for sports watches. I like picrel though, but people who like GS usually ignore this one.>well madeThey're bracelet are famous for being shit-tier.Also try googling "Grand Seiko bubbling" just to have a laugh.>a lot of expertise when into making themI guess you're talking about Spring Drive?To me it's just a stupid technology, I really don't see the point of it. Also only GS can service these movements.
>>18236978>muh sharp details
>>18236924>its hard to tell the difference out of the boxesIt's the opposite. It's when it's out of the boxes you can tell the difference. It feels like a premium watch. Its "Grand" moniker is well deserved, I'd say. The pricing argument, I reckon, can easily be applied to pretty much all brands nowadays, especially THAT one. >Grand Seikos shouldn't be more than like $4000It's a good thing mine wasn't.
>>18237011Vomit-inducing garbage. Get a Rolex.
>>18236992>I think 99% of them look like trash, but that's subjective right?To be honest, I think their textured dials are more miss than hit. Dress-sporty is their area. That's where their autism shines the best. Whenever they get out of that area, it's fucking chaos. >My main problem is how they're entirely polished, which I think is a terrible thing for sports watchesIt is indeed, although, from what I noticed, there's a certain endurance to that polish. Even, after getting scratches on the thing, the way it plays with light hasn't changed. It knows when to show the battle scars and when to hide them.>They're bracelet are famous for being shit-tier.It's fine, not great, not terrible. I tried putting it on a strap, but it just doesn't feel right. Don't think this case, with its thickness and shape, agrees with straps. The bracelet feels solid enough to warrant its staying. >To me it's just a stupid technology, I really don't see the point of itAnother argument that can also be applied, this time, to the industry as a whole. At the end of the day, these technologies we find in our mechanicals are obsolete at worst, and at best, they can be tweaked enough to work as still inferior backups for when the actual timekeeping instruments fail. Watches are the toys of grown-ups. The same feeling that drove you back then towards those lego sets, pokemon cards, remote control cars and talking transforming robots, that drives you now towards watches, actual cars, jewelry and so on. It's the same awe.
>>18237023I would, but I'm not there yet financially. Gotta level up a bit before attempting such jumps. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. In the meantime, I'll make due with what I have. It was chosen with care and enough consideration to keep my attention for a very long time. They all are.

my friend is very wealthy and owns among other things a nautilus and several rollies, he said that 99.9% of the time the only people that ever notice or bring it up are other guys. he's also had someone try to snatch one of the rollies literally off his wrist one time. i always ask him what's the point of dropping 40 g's on a watch if it doesn't even raise your pussy game and he can never give me a good answer kek
>>18237310>what's the point of dropping 40 g's on a watch if it doesn't even raise your pussy gameIf he has 40 g's to drop on a nautilus among other things, the pussy will notice.

>>18236980something about timex in general. some of their current models are overpriced in relation to the overall quality of the watch. some of the watches also have QC issues here and there. some models have the chink seagull movt. over 80% of timex is made in the philippines.

>>18237310A lot of people pay a lot of money for shit they don't really need. Almost everyone, really.My wife and I are about to have a gas generator installed on our house. We're paying thousands of dollars to put a huge appliance outside the house to take up room that's literally going to sit there doing nothing 99-100% of every year. I cope by thinking how often the power goes out in our area and that as soon as something goes really wrong like another hurricane Sandy it'll all feel worth it, but even most of the time it kicks on and actually powers the house it'll probably only be a few hours. Being able to tell our friends "aww, nah, we have power" during a storm is almost novelty.

Koff time
>>18237388Timex are following Seiko and moving upmarket, it probably started with either the Marlin or the first Q Reissue but it's happening slowly to their whole catalog. For example, discontinued the Weekender series and brought in the Timex Standard series as a direct replacement, they tend to be on par with or slightly worse than the old Weekenders, but they're 50~150% more expensive.
Kofe time.
>>18237575My wife's bull wouldn't be caught dead wearing that piece of shit.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Omega, is in fact, Swatch/Omega, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Swatch x Omega. Omega is not a manufacturer unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning Swatch conglomerate made useful by the Swatch manufacturing lines and Chinese contractors.Many watch enthusiasts wear a Swatch everyday without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Swatch which is widely used today is often called Omega, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically another Swatch watch, developed by the conglomerate.There really was an Omega and there are people still wearing them, but it is just a part of their daily wear. Omega is the brand, the name they put on the watch, but by itself; it is useless after the merger. It can only work in the Swatch context as a complete manufacturer. After the Swatch merger all the so-called Omega watches are really just Swatch/Omega or Swatch x Omega, as I like to call them.

Template for your watches.
>>18237864It fits just about right. They always appear bigger in photos from what I noticed.
>>18237904I just mean its bigger than your wrist and usually watches should be framed on a wrist. I think that watch is just too big for you.
>>18237875the movt is an Interquartz, but is manually wound. does it count as two?
>>18237585take your meds
My new watch :)
>>18237915Certainly doesn't feel like it. 43, I'd say it's my limit.
>>18237975yeah i think you are retarded too bad that watch isn't in a smaller size or it would be nice
>>18237990Nah, it's nice as it is.
It's not too big, it's just thick, over-designed and inelegant. In short: it's a Grand Soikope.
This one guy been trying for weeks to convince aoi-san that his watch is shit. Dude just move on man. It's fine if you don't like it, you will find people with different tastes than you in your life. It's just very weird seeing someone try so hard to convince someone that, according to him, his [aoi-san] taste in watches is bad. We're a kindergarten here sometimes.

>>18238112well yes that's the least controversial list ever
>>18238112what about Seiko 5 ?
>>18238088That watch is to bigger for only three hands watch, but even PP make this mistake. Now, only Rolex made good three hands watch.
It makes me rather sad knowing that even if I do get "rich" one day I'll never be able to wear maybe ~75% of most expensive watches due to my 15 centimeter wrists. I didn't realize wrist size is essentially permanent until I got bored and looked it up today. I'm wallowing in self-pity but there's something very... crushing about seeing all of these cool watches that I'll never be able to wear without looking like a fool. Even worse is when I'll get recommended female watches on shopping sites.This is all way too fucking dramatic but my point is that you should be thankful for what you have. For reference, I wear my beater F-91w on the fourth-smallest hole.
>>18238236You can easily wear a patek 3796, or an entire century's worth of classic mens watches that are more finely finished than most of the slop available today.

>>18238253Pls someone explain why hamilton is such a popular dial considering its cluttered and confusing surface
What's up faggots, long time no see, TWD BTW
>>18238260Whats that, cognac?
>>18238267No, it's a really good fragrance for genderfluid individuals. Very femasculine.
>>18238256It's less cluttered than the khaki auto, also nodate meaning even more simplicity. Only thing wrong with it is that they insisted on the shitty faux vintage lume, but I suppose there's plenty of that stark white/black out there already available. They should've released the 38mm version along with the film. Would've sold waaaay more.
>>18238274Thats gay
>>18238256I agree with this anon. The bracelets are also very unappealing. Once I start looking closely at the dial, I can tell I really don’t like the watch. Is this a lower tier brand?
>>18238133Ugly and bulky. The dial has too much bullshit going on. The watch isn’t very proportionate either.>>18238109This longines has a rather pretty dial and overall classy look. I think the hands and hour indicators are rather wide. The crown could be smaller also but overall nice watch

>>18238360>pic relatedkek, here
>>18238360Are you me?As soon as I started wearing a smart watch the only other watches I cared about were vintage gold dress watches.
>>18238362That would look nice on a tan leather strap. On steel it looks weird
>>18238353Unique look, however just unnecessary really. Probably due to the fact the crown is protruding so much. I guess it needs to have protection from smacking it in half. Can other anons post their fucking watches itt. I need more to critique even though I’m novice level.
>>18238253I kinda like these, but for some reason don't like the hands.
>>18236920which watch has the most sneaky links?
>>18238383i wore it with an olive or black nato for the most part. looked great with a camo nato but i felt like i was larping too much (it's a vietnam war special forces watch)>>18238381imagine that's common. once you have a smart watch, not wearing it feels as strange as it does when you forget your phone. the only time the smart watch feels out of place (unless you venture in to the more lux materials) is with more formal attire, so dress watches still have a place.
Took the Sinn for a spin today

>>18239372Why yes, I would like to pay $10,000 for a watch with a rubber strap. No I cannot figure out how to take a screen shot so here's a photo of my computer monitor. Also, what is the point of 24 hour indicators on a watch? In case your forget if its before or after noon?
>>18239382Oysterflex would make a lot more sense and actually be really cool if it was an add on you could buy for your watch in addition to the bracelet and not just what you're stuck with for the life of the watch.A lot of people do business and payroll with 24 hour time. A better question is why Timex insists on calling 12 different watches that use 7 different movements "Marlin."
>>18238155Literally in the list.
Given a choice between a Submariner Date or a Root Beer GMT which would you buy? I'm debating between these two for my first Rolex.
Bros how do I stop buying shit all the time and instead start looking forward to some more serious watches?
>>18239634Consoooomption is a mental disorder. You can't get the help you need from a website.
>>18239071So which manufactures actually meet the criteria for this?
>>18239630Probably the submariner date. I’m just not a fan of the root beer colors, but that’s opinion based. The sub date can function as a classic daily. It’s a very popular model that you could trade or sell later on if you get bored or want to expand.
>>18239630Also need to factor in avg market prices for each. What price range are these?
>>18239672The reason why I am leaning towards the root beer is because the everrose gold matches my skin tone a little bit better. I already own a Speedmaster so a Submariner Date just seems to boring.But then again the Submariner is truly a do anything watch.>>18239676The Submariner Date is going for 15K and the Root Beer is 19K. I don't think I'll be able to get these at the AD so considering grey market for this.
>>18239071Read the actual wording clarifying the stipulations for what classifies as a swiss made movement. Hint, there's an allowance for work done in "friends of switzerland" countries to count as "swiss". Includes the likes of germany etc., which doesn't raise any eyebrows since multiple brands have had their cases made in germany for decades. But it also lists hong kong. Nothing is made in hong kong these days. Nothing. Shit's made in china and the office might be in the new territories or kowloon. Loopholes within loopholes. It's bullshit all the way down. Unless you can verify that a tour's been done of the "swiss" brand in question where the parts are accounted for, just assume that a vast % of it is chinese made. This is why rolex is the cutoff point because people have toured the only 3 factories they own and have verified that shit.Swatch has factories in china and thailand anyway ffs, what do you think they're making there? When buying a watch, "swiss made" should be the least important factor because of this trickery. To what degree are you comfortable being ripped off?
got my new watch today, brokies and liberals raging hard!
>>18239630gmt root eer
>>18239681what about made in Japan?
>>18239630I really like the two tone look on the root beer. The bottom half of the bezel just throws me off. I know the color is the staple of the root beer gmt but there is better options to me. Im really interested in the speedmaster. I just dont know enough about omega or that particular model. What are your opinions on your speedmaster? I can surely understand not wanting another similar watch because the sub date is another black dial, stainless bracelet.>The Submariner Date is going for 15K and the Root Beer is 19K. I don't think I'll be able to get these at the AD so considering grey market for this.Root beer price is a little steep. Why not a different two-tone GMT with a meme nickname(pepsi,batgirl,etc)? I just bought a two-tone vintage dj off grey market.

The Qualité Fleurier Certification is a prestigious standard in Swiss watchmaking, emphasizing precision, craftsmanship, and durability. It ensures that a watch passes a series of rigorous tests. First, the movement must earn COSC certification, meeting chronometer standards for accuracy. It must then undergo the Chronofiable test, which simulates months of wear, exposing the watch to shocks, vibrations, and environmental factors like magnetism.The Fleuritest subjects the watch to real-world wrist movements over 24 hours, testing its precision across five positions, with accuracy required within 0 to +5 seconds/day—a stricter margin than COSC. The certification also guarantees that the watch is 100% Swiss-made, including the movement and case (though the bracelet and clasp are excluded).A key focus is on craftsmanship and hand-finishing, requiring exceptional decoration like beveling or Geneva stripes. The use of high-quality raw materials is mandatory, with an emphasis on Swiss sourcing when possible. Durability tests ensure the movement withstands shocks, thermal changes, and water exposure.Brands must have full in-house control over the watch’s manufacturing, ensuring that the movements are developed and assembled within their facilities. This certification is exclusive, awarded to only a select number of watches, making it a mark of luxury and technical excellence.

>>18239867>MB&F ?They have facilities in Paris as well so most likely not.>Rolex ?Categorically not, dials and bracelets are not swiss-made or they would be labelled as such (there are criteras for the Swiss Made certification for dials, cases and bracelets, all with different emplacements for the indication in order to prevent confusion. "Swiss Made" in front of the dial only means the movement adheres to the label, not the rest) and Rolex would be gloating about it. >Patek PhilipeSee above although the Geneva Seal means the movement is probably more swiss than a Swiss Made one since it requires a lot of the operations to be specifically made in the Geneva canton.>F.P.

>>18239941>RolexThier dials are made by tiny swiss firm that rolex has been trying to buy out for 80 odd years. Every year they submit a bid but the family run small factory holds out. They make dials for a slew of swiss brands because they are considered the best in the business; cheaper for rolex to order from them rather than spend the gorillions developing their own production.>Patek>geneva sealYou're severely out of date. Patek abandoned the GS 15yrs ago and substituted it with their own bs "PP Seal" because it looks bad on them for removing a QC stamp they've had on their movements for over 200 years. Funny that right after this abandonment the diehard patek collecting boomers on forums started to notice all sorts of QC issues. Real funny that this was also around the time patek doubled output. Wherever did they get all the extra watchmakers from? They state that it takes 10yrs to train a watchmaker up to their standard. Rumor on the street was that they grabbed a bunch of rookies from their servicing department and put them on the line which makes perfect sense since it was also around this time that patek servicing times stretched out to infinity.>got rid of the third party QC>doubled production>service times quadrupled>quality diminished>use of silicon hairspringsTheir excuse for the GS seal>oh, we didn't like sharing the seal with those nouveauriche upstarts that bought into the Geveva watchmaking scene so we're abandoning the seal! Our own seal is better! Trust us!!GS begged them to stay and even reformed to a much higher standard to take into account the entire watch but the Sterns obviously had other plans.Lastly the GS would never have allowed them to use the spiromax silicon hairspring which makes hairspring production infinitely easier by making it a cheap, disposable part that can't be manipulated and tweaked by a watchmaker.You want high horology? Avoid anything with a silicon hairspring.
>>18239996>can't be manipulated and tweaked by a watchmakerbut you don't get it, it's never going to need to be manipulated because it's just never going to get magnetized, deformed, lose its horizontal alignment or anything like that haha :^)I'm joking but it's grim that this argument is becoming so common and people seem to generally be eating up>it's fine that you can't work on electric engines, they're not supposed to have issues with their moving parts anyways so it doesn't matter that nothing can be disassembled and replaced>so what if you can't take apart laptop or phone boards? they're rigorously tested to limit hardware issues so it's okay>it's really no big deal that your silicon hairspring can't be corrected because nothing can realistically damage it anywayyou get the idea

I live in Japan. There's an upscale secondhand store not too far from where I live, I go there about once every two months to check out what new clothes they have in stock. There's a decent sized watch section but there's typically nothing more remarkable than a few limited Seikos, some Hamiltons, and more G-Shock collab pieces than I can count.However, last weekend I went for my usual visit when I saw something new in the watch case. A Speedmaster, and for only 40,000 yen. That's less than 300 USD. Now, I thought they'd simply made a mistake in labeling it but upon closer inspection I saw that the case and bracelet were beat to HELL. It's like the previous owner had worn it to a skatepark and fell on it every day for a year... and then he went and fought on the frontlines of a guerilla conflict for 6 months. The movement seemed to work fine, and the crystal looked to be in good condition (almost certainly replaced). This place has been pretty legit every time I've bought anything from them so I *think* it's likely not a rep or a frankenwatch, but I'm not sure.Now I'm wondering, do I buy it so I can own an Omega? The bracelet at least is in no condition to be worn so I would be replacing that ASAP (might go for nylon or leather) and I could probably get the case polished up just a little bit and get it looking somewhat presentable. I could even invent a cool fake backstory for if anyone asks me why my Speedmaster looks so scuffed, I could say I got stranded in a jungle or something.
>>18240031>>18240033I'm the original rating anon. While I don't 100% agree with your rating, I'm glad I've inspired other anons to rate watches. Keep up the good work, rating anon #2.

>>18240113Buy a gold/gold-plated vintage dress watch. Look for Certina, Elgin, Bulova, Timex, Omega Quartz and Zenith Stellina.Don't buy anything bigger than 36 mm. Prefer leather strap over metal bracelet. Use filters and ask the seller questions if needed.

What are some watches that 100% have not been touched by tiny gook hands?Can the /wt/ autists help an anon out here?Raw material can be sourced outside from switzerland.What are some options? Vintage pre 1990's?Are there even any modern watches that fit the criteria?
>>18240316Anything pre-quartz, it's only after factories in Hong Kong started churning out quartz movements for cheap that asian work became part of the equation. The swiss quickly realized they had to include them if they wanted to not disappear once half of their industry went bust and the french and german basically disappeared.
>>18240289It's no different from nearly every field watch having 13 14 and so on around the dial. It's just a different way of doing that.You're like the physics teacher that wastes everyone's time converting imperial to metric on every question.

>>18236920Patiently awaiting shipment. The main criteria for watches in my opinion is that you simply need to like looking at them and wearing them, they just need to make you happy as an owner, even if they are subpar for others. This watch ticks all the boxes for me. I have a silver panda (same model), but there was a splash of colour lacking.
>>18240323>You're like the physics teacher that wastes everyone's time converting imperial to metric on every question.When theres a standard and you actually use it daily, you can convert on the fly. Machinists do that too for fractions of an inch to decimals often faster than if you looked at the wall at the conversion charts. Again, if you actually need to use 24 hour time, why the fuck can't you just look at a clock or watch without any indices on it and immediately know what 24 hour format time it is?Its just like those retarded tachymeter watches that nobody knows how to use but it looks spergy with nonsense numbers around the bezel and oohlala your watch has a bunch of markings on it that even the wearer doesn't know what the fuck they do, but they can serve a purpose.
>>18240417When there's a standard you use daily it's available in the standard you use daily.

>>18240473The best G-Shock is pic related. Also, let's talk about Baby-Gs. Why don't they make this model anymore? It would sell a lot.
>>18240487AAYYY I happen to own one.I like it as well but it doesn't have the same charm and the fit isn't as good, it moves around a lot. Or maybe it's just a matter of preference. Still a great fun watch however
/(?:>>\d(?:(?!>>\d)[^])*){5}/aaah, much better
>>18240494Nice! Weird that it moves around a lot. Shouldn't it fit better, given that it's smaller than the regular squares? Its shape is also fun. How long have you had it?
>>18240494are these able to be modded like full size gshocks? i wouldnt mind a smaller one for winter use - but ‘baby g’ on the bezel is a no go
>>18240417I wouldn't wear a watch I didn't know how to use. It blows me away that there are people who would. Like why would you even buy a Navitimer if you didn't know what the fuck the bezel was about? At least take a few minutes to learn how to use it.
>>18240526People refuse to be as unnecessarily pedantic as you. Why should they? Their life choices which are comprised of them not being pedantic have helped shaping their life so far and carrying them to this point, as of today. If they want to buy a tachometer scale bezel without knowing how it all works, - they will do exactly this. Because they simply can afford doing it.
>>18240505I find that it always finds a way to sit right on top of my wirst bone and it drives my autism absolutely mad. But I am quite autistic when it comes to watch bands, so the baby g is fine and the issue is likely me. It weighs not to far off from a full square (40g) but the band feels a bit narrow for it.I've had it for about 2 months but have very seldom worn it, it definitely deserves more wrist time. I should try playing with some straps.If I could go back I would rather get a very lightweight casio like a LW-204 or LW-202, but they do have that F91w look that isn't for everyone(but neither are baby gs I'd suppose)>Why don't they make this model anymore?It's a shame -- I'd like it in a few more colors anyways. They should overhaul small g-shocks and get rid of the whole baby g thin.>>18240510The baby g is engraved in orange so it would likely be a bit difficult to remove.
>>18240417Imagine a scientist took all of their measurements in imperial units and even used conversions of figures from other sources they cited and turned that paper into a journal to be published, then when the reviewers asked him wtf was up with his units of measure he went>GOD just convert the units if you need to, it's simple fucking math! I can do it in my head I'm so familiar with the conversions, you shout be to?Dude legitimately might never get anything published in that journal again.There's no shame in using tools that measure shit in the format you're expected to record it in and skip the conversions and calculations.
>>18240540Ah yes, adding or subtracting 12 to the time is just like a scientist converting measurements in a peer reviewed journal. Shut the fuck up.
>>18240541Honestly, why is it different in terms of the point being made? If you can just measure the correct way the first time you can save yourself and anyone else the time and effort of converting it into some other form and even if that time is miniscule it makes sense to do that if you know you're going to do it many times a day.
>>18240539>I'd like it in a few more colors anywaysSame! Some youtuber pointed out that the white version of that model had a problem with the lcd, which tended to fade after a while. I've been wondering if the black one (yours, basically) is safe and sturdy in terms of lcd performance.>They should overhaul small g-shocks and get rid of the whole baby g thin.I think they might have just started that process. These recent G-Lides are as small as Baby-Gs but they bear the label G-Shock.
>>18240487>>18240494>baby-Gbloody hell whyat least call it lil-G or something
>>18240548>Honestly, why is it different in terms of the point being made?If you cannot conceptualize how adding or subtracting 12 and converting a 37 digit decimal from imperial to SAE to metric to kelvin to your moms ass is in no way similar, you're a fucking retard.
>>18240559Explain it to me. Then explain why I should wear a watch in the first place when all of this info is on my phone and computer screen which I also use for work. Maybe then you'll realize what a contrarian retard you've been.
>>18240559>WHY NOT MAKE SHIT HARDER JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN!? NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP THE TIME IN THE FORMAT YOU NEED TO KEEP TIME IN!!!!1 YOU HAVE TO DO MATH LIKE ME!
Why do people need watches? Can you really not simply intuit the time using your body's circadian rhythm?
>>18240575>Explain it to me.Watch: add or subtract 12. Thats literally it. versus60 miles per hour = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.8224 meters per secondOne you can do in your head instantly, the other probably not. How are you still not understanding this?
>>18240585That's not what I asked you to explain. Do you even know what you're arguing about anymore?
>>18240585The point isn't whether or not the math is difficult. Again, time zone changes can easily be calculated by adding or subtracting 3 or 5 or whatever from the time your watch says. It's still really nice if your watch just tells you that by looking at it so you don't need to think about it.
Is there a watch with more confusing branding than the airking? They changed it so much over the decades it really feels like they have no idea what the fuck it's supposed to be.
>>18240625Modern Rolex is a pile of steaming excrements.
>>18240096you fucked up badly. just wear no watch, and if you "need" to wear a watch, you should be spending more for a vintage two hander in a precious metal. either manual or high acc quartz.>>18240100nice ugly day-date cope poorcel.
>>18240687Its not ugly, you're ugly.
>>18240690digital/ana-digi casios are mostly based. that shitter is not. neither is that mottled Timex, you need to get better taste anon.
>>18240694You seem really upset for simple, yet attractive watches. Maybe you'd enjoy some diver or speedster watch instead?
>>18240694>anal-digiYou need to get straighter taste anon.
found out that this thing exists today, is this just a hype watch being used to move upmarket by Christopher Fraud?>inb4 minion watch
>>18240740>Why yes, it is a 44mm case and a 20mm dial face. >we bent some metal around to fool you into thinking this quartz watch really is worth tens of thousands of dollars >:)
>>18240748I think that thing is terrible looking, but where are you getting 44mm, quartz, and tens of thousands of dollars from?
>>18240761he is retarded, be have patience. i believe he is an uzbekistan anon
Tudor RangerTudor BB 36These are the best cope watches right?Everything is a fucking scam, loopholes within loopholes.I think Rolex is the only brand now where you acutally get value for your money, right?So much outsourcing and bullshit.FUCK YOU FHS
>>18240740Chrward will never succeed in going upmarket because it's named after a literalwho bong who isn't evwn working at his own namesake company anymore. Their tagline is>muh affordable luxurywhich is most obviously not luxurious.However, this hour chime watch is interesting since it's just your average sellita slop base with a chiming module.I know it's a showcase piece, but until it actually starts looking like a regular model rather than a Breguet tradition knockoff I think it looks like crap. I don't like that Breguet at all.It's either this or a Zeitwerk striking time; there's an obvious price difference here. An order of magnitude of a difference.
>>18240740Someone had to tell me that thing at the bottom of the dial is supposed to be a bird and I still have to squint to see it.
>>18240504'Ery nice
>>18240096for about 60 more u could have had a real and beautiful seiko so a lot

Could I get an Id on the watch Donald is wearing in this pic? Looks pretty basic but the green face adds a nice pop of color.
