Suggestion for the cheapest watch the looks cool and dresses well?I'm talking a budget of 100 max, by cheap I mean cheap.

Kofe time.
Any threads/sites without the avatards?
I've always wanted to change the integrated bracelet on my tsuyosa, so I did around 5-6 hours of DIY trial and error.
Thoughts about about vintage?They popped up somewhere and I thought they looked neat without costing a fortune I know nothing of watches though, maybe they're overpriced or got bad reputation
>>18255633fake and gay
>>18255628I'm something of a collector myself
>>18255668They are both overpriced and bad, but I've seen nice looking ones. Timex Waterbury Chrono is more legit and half the price but not so minimalist.
>>18255678>overpriced and badDamnI liked how old and simple they looked but still had details enough to fill the disc (idk what its called)Do you know of any that fit the description? Doesn't have to be a chronograph either, a standard watch to tell the time would do as fine
>>18255668What the fuck is vintage about this lmfao retard?
>>18255688It's the brands name, retard
>>18255684Eh I double checked the About Vintage, not bad just overpriced. It's a $60-$80 watch for $350. But all watches are overpriced. This is a "cheap" "good" version for $2500.Sternglas is probably a good choice if you liked the style
>>18255684
>>18255697>>18255698These look really neat, will have to save for a while for 2.5k... even if that is on the cheaper end lolThank you :) saved them
>>18255705Noticed the sternglas wasn't as steep, will go for one of theirs.Will post it in thread the coming weeks if I remember to
>>18255711All of those are mid level shitters tbqhGo big or go budget casio
Classic, Wacky or both?
If I was buying a cheapo chronograph or maybe go to /CWT/ and buy from Aliexpress

Where does the pillow/cushion case design come from? I've heard somewhere that it's because it's and easy case shape to stamp out of a metal blank thus not requiring any or as many milling operations as conventional watch cases do. Is there any truth to that?

Had to push the grandpa down the stairs to get my hands on this badboy
Issey miyake TO watch stainless steel, Produced by seiko. One of my personal favs, I love how minimalist it is and the fact nobody in the west seems to have one. People always talk to me about this watch even tho it’s not particularly expensive or rare. They’re not very available other than in Japan I can’t find a many listings in the UK. Also Warning they do look very bad once scratched if ur thinking of getting one. Also comes Ina very beautiful futuristic looking case and includes an ownership card.
>>18255836Pretty cool. I remember seeing this while I was looking for a Tank-like watch a while ago.
>>18255838Quite interesting anon, I like.
>>18255838I used to be obsessed with this watch. But I couldn't justify $400 for a quartz. The trapezoid model is pretty cool too.
it's a fucking shitter
>>18255810Post your wrist shot

>>18256153brapling
>>1825615090s Chronomats are cool, but you have to watch out because they are incredibly frequently faked and/or franken'ed.
>>182558840/10 cope, kys shitterfaggot
>>18256153>>18256169legend, thank you.
>>18256171lmfao
>>18256150I like the look but aren't those built incredibly cheaply with tons of plastic parts and corner cutting because they came out during the quartz crisis and breitling was trying everything it could to stay afloat?or are some references free from this?
>>18256222No, the Chronomats were well-made. The only downside, such as it is, is that the movement is a bog-standard Valjoux 7750. That makes it a pretty thick watch with an annoying rotor wobble.It's finished to only a basic standard but the caseback is solid and it's COSC certified.
>>18256038nice clock
I love vintage Omega so much.
Absolutely hate how widespread "workhorse" auto movements are, just no need for them when Seiko and ETA do have access to Quartz technology. The only exception I think is for Vostok because they try to make the entire watch in their one factory and while they have the equipment and the skillset to produce mechanical movements, they don't have access to an in-house quartz movement as that would be hugely expensive to produce.On the other hand, there is no reason for the Powermatic 80 or NH35 to exist.
>>18256255auto watches are bloat tooI'd take handwind everyday if it made watches thinner and less bulky
>>18256225you're right I guess it's the 7750 of that generation that has plastic parts out of the box, breitling just left the movement as is
>>18256243>vintage omegaytell me you're a poorfaggot retard without telling you're a poorfaggot retard.
>>18256255don't battery watches last only 2 years on average? u can see how auto is still a thing.

>>18256297Indeed. With Whoretadello taking a break, we almost had no avatarfags in the thread.
>>18256283That piece of shit has the same lug to lug as your Speemdaster. What were you thinking? The Reverso is supposed to be discreet.
>>18256299There are no avatarfags in /wt/, only posters with recognizable collections.
>>18256264There's only two plastic parts in the 7750.One plastic bushing on the spring holding the chrono second hands bridges-side.One double-finger on the chrono reset work dial-side .

>>18256313My 45 yo Seiko quartz lasts 3 years. It's a fairly standard battery so no issues in getting a new one.

He's a lawyer in his mid-to-late 40s somewhere in the global south.Of the known-posters/avatarfags with legit collections this general has ever had, his collection is easily the largest and definitely one of the most impressive, though he's the only one who's stuck around.
>>18256467That's bitteranon's collection.
I love this watch so much bros
What is the most perfect green watch possible?
>>18255735Agreed. I can't do those horsey applied numbers.
>>18256562thought it was the seiko cope shitter from the thumbnail. was pleasantly surprised. finally someone with a real watch.
>>18256562Bold of you to post your nice watch. So few of us do, these days.
>>18256618Hell yeah man, its all I wear now. I took two links out and it fits perfect (7” wrist). Fatties are literally unable to wear this watch lol no wonder they seethe about 36mm
>>18256629That seems light for a gold watch. Wouldn't the steel equivalent of that watch be 140g or so?
>>18256618>My perceptions are molded by a few letters on the dialGolem npc. You were prepared to write it off but started sucking Swiss dick just because it says lolex lmao
>>18256643Idk, there is no steel equivalent of the day date.
>>18256646Is there a Seiko equivalent of the day date? Because I’d like to have a nice backup when I’m travelling through nigger infested cities without a firearm.
>>18256655>implying a steel datejust wouldn't be the same weight
>>18256668How would a steel datejust be the same weight? Gold is heavier than steel.
>>18256669
>>18256668Surely the day wheel and the mechanism for it add a couple of grams, right? You lose some dial material with the day window but not that much i'd say.

>>18256303I know, and it looks as small on my wrist. Almost dainty, to be sure. I love it; I highly recommend it if you have a normal sized wrist. I'm sure I mentioned this before: before buying, I tried on several different sizes in the JLC Boutique, and on paper I wanted to go with the 'Classique', which is closest to the size of the original Reverso from the 30s. The only problem was that it looked like I was wearing a watch for a child or a small woman, and even the AD Lady helping me out suggested that it looked 'somewhat small'...I agreed. This size turned out to have exactly what I wanted on my wrist, and it also happens to be the same size as the Tribute (which is what I wanted from the beginning anyway). So, it was all meant to be.What watch are you wearing today, Fren?
>>18256718How fat are you? Be honest.
>>18256718One other thing; it's absurdly thin compared with the watches I normally wear. The Lady didn't know I was planning on getting the original Tribute, so she tried to sell me a duoface, but these are really thick...much more than I think looks good. That's not a critique of the mechanism or engineering...it's just that I think this watch should be thin. Anyway, there we are.>>18256721Enough to justify the length, Fren. What watch are you wearing tonight?
>>18256718You're trying so hard, it's adorable.
>>18256721>How fat are you? Be honest.He's a mid-40s Asian in Western Canada. He's fat as fuck.

>>18256723I always do my best, Fren. What watch are you wearing today? >>18256725I can still fit into a First Class seat on an airplane, so it's not too bad. What are you wearing today, Fren?>How come no one posts watches? It's a watch thread, isn't it? Also, I really like this PAM...it's so comfy, and the bracelet has two-part links, which Panerai stopped making decades ago due to the expense...the newer bracelets are one-piece links, and they look like that. I can definitely recommend titanium watches if you're in the realm to buy.

Sometimes another Anon has a lot to contribute, and then it's appropriate to bow out. Other times, my time is up and I have other matters to attend to. What watch are you sporting, Madam?
>>18256746None? Okay, I'll post another one of mine.I think Speedys are excellent, but you should definitely try to limit how many. It's too tempting to keep on buying this general model and not diversifying into other designs, but at the same time, perfection is so difficult to achieve in design that one can't help but love the different iterations of the Moon Watch...
$1000 - 1500automatic or quartzdailying
>>18256824For that price, quartz for sure.
>>18256824>>18256830>$1000 quartzwhy
>>18256832Autos in that price range are shit and require too much money for maintenance. Quartz in that range are disposable but you get good life out of them. win-win
>>18256824>>18256835You can get a really nice, recently serviced/restored vintage watch with a great mechanical movement in that price range. I daily my old JLC. I had an oyster perpectual before that which was rock solid, and countless Omegas and IWCs. I work an office job though, I'm not banging it around on a job site or anything.
>>18256841Daily = water resist, reliable, tells time well. No vintage does this, and no newcomer is going to want to do the research for vintage.I'm right.
>>18256824Some Casio MT-G
>>18256278I've got a Seiko quartz that's been in the box since 2020 and it still works fine
So why are Omegas so cheap compared to other "luxury" brands?
>>18256853such as?
>>18256853Because they run their business like a McDonald's. They'll sell yoi pretty much anything you want no questions asked as long as you have the money, the only exception is very rare limited pieces. (like actually limited, not the usual 12 "limited" runs of speedmasters they do all throughout the year.) it's not actually exclusive, so when people who bought the shit new get tired of it the only buyers are people that already had the chance to buy it full price but passed. If they wanted the watch at retail they would have bought it from Omega. So the resale value is shit.
>>18256255And yet, it's the year 2025 of our lord and savior and sweeping second hand solar quartz does not exist.
>>18256859based Omegawatches for the everyman that doesn't want to fellate an AD
>>18256859That sounds like a normal watch company. Would you rather give the Rolex AD favors for a stainless steel model?
>>18256862yepthat's the difference between a watch company and a "luxury" brand

>>18256873>>18256877I'd add that if its too good to be true it probably is. The market is a minefield and you have to have a really keen eye. I got a great deal on a stone dial piaget once only to find out it had a tiny crack in the dial. Watchmaker didn't have the expertise to fix it without cracking it completely so I had to send it to Piaget to get professionally refurbished. In the end it cost about as much as I would've spend on a sorted one.

I think it's funny when luxury watch brands have all of these marketing talking points to present their watches as understated, heritage-laden heirlooms that only suitably quaint gentlemen could appreciate, but luxury watch fans are honestly like kids in the playground bullying each other over what Pokémon cards they may or may not have.Just goes to show, money speaks louder than words, for all the marketing bollocks they put out there, it's prices that attract. Richard Mille for example has shit designs that only autists could like, they're the shirt with vinyl flames on it of the watch world, but because they're so unreasonably expensive, they didn't go out of business instantly. That says everything that can be said about this industry.
>>18256995Lmao okay poorfag
second hand solar powered japanese dressy watch under $100?
>>18257008You're a poorfag compared to Elon Musk and a watch won't change that
Grand Seicope.Why are their fans always trying to one up them against Rolexes so rabidly? A Rolex, just by existing compares itself to no one, it proves its own superiority by existing.
>mentions gs out of nowhereit's afraid
Lmfao when will poolex owners be able to mention their shitter without mentioning Grand Seiko lol
>>18256954Based.
>>18257024>>18257028It's just the one watch brand autist contrarians with no taste (like you) will always choose when asked to pick anything other than swiss watches. Grand Seicope has pretty dials and movements, but that's really it. Their finishing is a scratch magnet, their cases are fat and have terrible proportions, the bracelet FUCKING SUCKS. The bracelet is just fucking garbage and actually embarrassing for a 7k dollar watch. They try to look sporty, but their spring drive line and hi beat only has 5 ATM. That low WR is just pathetic for a watch of that price and style. Grand Seicope, like Omega, tries to play with the big boys, but only end up being Rolex copes and what ifs. Cope if you must.
>>18257031I think it's more that you're conflicted, on the one hand Japan is based homogenous honorary Aryan society that produced the katana but at the same time because you've also been instructed by shills to see the Swiss (and specifically Rolex) as the only competent or desirable watchmakers.So you fear GS because shitting on it for not being Swiss contradicts using Japan as a model for how based racially homogenised societies are. I mean this is 4chan after all.
New Rolex lads.
>>18257041I have tried to enjoy GS, I looked at their catalogue, I tried a snowflake. It's just a pretender's watch. It's okay, but it doesn't stand with the big boys. This is why GS constantly has to compare itself to Rolex, because it's a defense mechanism from its buyers trying not to regret their shitty purchase. I mean really? A bracelet that shit quality for that price when the oyster bracelet is world leading for less? Pathetic. I really do believe people who buy GS are contrarian incels.
shut the fuck up fucking retard faggot
>>18257048Based on what I've seen on multiple boards on 4chan for, regrettably, over a decade, most would consider it contrarian to consider Japan to not be the absolute best at everything (again because supposedly based racially homogeneous society) including watchmaking. The defensiveness therefore is from a knowledge that you're trying to claim to the contrary that Japan can be best at everything except watchmaking which you then have to overdo and claim is shit.But you don't have to be defensive, 4chan *is* wrong in thinking Japan is the most based nation in the world, they aren't good at absolutely everything and if they were that's not because of racial homogeneity. You can think the Swiss and Rolex in particular make superior watches without bleaching your brain with cortisol over disagreeing that Japan *might not be* the most based nation to have ever existed that is superior in absolutely everything.
>>18257054I can tell you're autistic and a virgin from your lack of effort into making your reply readable. I know you tried to make a point, but you are going from one tandem to another with no rhythm and it is not possible to understand what you just fucking said. Try again.
>>18257057People who don't understand something don't get this angry about what they've just read.
>>18257054What has japan ever actually been better at though? They have good food and good electronics. That's kind of it. Their greatest contribution to watches was quartz watches, which yes changed the entire world of timekeeping and brought watches to the masses, but as jewelry pieces or as tools the Japanese watch designs really never topped the swiss. They were just cheap functional watches.
>>18257062Perfectly reasonable position to have and I agree, clearly you're not someone who is afraid of criticising Japan unlike *some* anons clearly are.
>>18256872Isn't the whole market crashing? Retail might actually be too much.
>>18257042>rolex on a laminated shit tablefake
>>18257042Something about the bracalet and bezel does not look right...Same with the cyclops. Anon, did you get a rep?
>>18257073It's an old Ercol, solid ash.>>18257074Reps break years before they get a chance to fade into that powdery pink shit. I think I'm just a bad photographer to be honest.
>>18257019>Why are their fans always trying to one up them against Rolexes so rabidly? A Rolex, just by existing compares itself to no one, it proves its own superiority by existing.omegafags do the exact same thing without the weebwank faggotry that gs bringsit's the "also ran" syndrome mixed in with a gallon of sourgrapes juiceif you offered any of the loudest of these fags a rolex equivalent to whatever it is they're pushing in their seethe comments, because 99% of them don't own any watch let alone a gs or omegay, they'll take the rolex every time if there was nobody around to hold them up to their hypocrisy those that bought a gs or omegay because they actually wanted them instead of a rolex aren't the ones screeching about how much better those are by comparison they'd just enjoy their watches quietly the ones that actually own a gs or swatchmega and have to loudly proclaim at any opportunity how their choice is better than whatever rolex are doing so out of pure unadulterated cope
>>18257098I have a Vostok and it's the true tool watch that Rolex wishes it was in its marketing lol
rolex is a tool watch poorfaggot
>>18257118A tool watch you lose hundreds or even thousands from scratching? Lmao pls.
>>18257126Simple, pragmatic, practical tools for use in the field.The reasonable man's brand.
If you made a spreadsheet of all the things that matter when you're buying a luxury sports watch:>accuracy>build quality>proportions>brand recognition>value retention>ease to service>heritage/historyAnd try to rank every brands in the most honest and unbiased way possible...Then Rolex would be first or second in every categories.I 100% understand why some people don't want a Rolex. Maybe they don't like the design, or they find them boring, or they hate the cult following or whatever... In the end a luxury watch is an "emotional" purchase, and sometimes you just "fall in love" with a watch despite its flaws.I have no problem with that. I myself have a soft spot for JLC... The thing is, I'm smart enough to admit Rolex mogs JLC in every conceivable ways, so I'm not going to let my pride talk when I'm comparing the two. It's OK if you prefer IWC, Omega or GS to Rolex. Just be smart and don't act like you made objectively the best and most reasonable choice, because you really didn't. Rolex is just something else.
>>18257159Ok.
>>18257159If you go outside of strictly sports watches then I would argue Rolex often loses in terms of history and heritage. They might not even make the top 10 if you ask me. They are relatively young as far as watch brands go and their achievements are not that prestigious when you really start scratching under the surface instead of taking their word for it and have been seriously embellished by decades of marketing.But that particular point is arguably the least important when chosing a watch. It only matters if you decide to care about it.
>>18257159Okay, let's take my Tissot PRX Quartz 40mm>accuracyIt's quartz so considerably more accurate than any Rolex movement>build qualitySubjective about much difference there is between the PRX and an OP, but a quantifiable metric is WR and both are 100m>proportionsBoth the PRX and OP have various sizes to suit both men and wristlets>brand recognitionTissot is available in every mall in every town in every 1st world nation, Rolex has far fewer ADs by comparison>value retentionRolex edges out here for now, but should the market ever treat Rolex OPs like any other brand and thus suffer depreciation then you would lose more money in depreciation than what is possible to lose with a PRX even if you threw it off a cliff>ease to serviceAgain Quartz, so a battery change>heritage/historyTissot is a considerably older brand than Rolex, also was the supplier of pocket watches to the Russian royal family, has some pretty interesting relics like the rock watchBy all of those metrics, the Tissot PRX is the smarter buy. I dunno why Rolexfags need to insist their purchase wasn't just what they wanted, but an unavoidable purchase they had to make.
>>18257174ID? Isn't that JDM only?
>>18257174First time seeing this watch here
>>18255655Why are you blind
>>18257175Let me disprove your retarded points real quick>accuracyAll Rolexes have COSC certiifcations. They are mechanical as opposed to quartz, which yeah, a quartz is obviously better, but a quartz does not have a sweeping hand like a mechanical. The Rolex movements are way better than the ones Tissot uses for its mechanical line. It's a choice if you prefer a sweeping or a 1 second interval seconds-hand. >build qualityRolex source their own steel, precious metals, movements, cases, everything. The bracelet of Rolex watches is world class and almost every brand has copied the oyster and jubilee. They are known to be tanks that can las decades without servicing and can be renovated with relative ease. A tissot is just a shitter in comparison. >proportionsOnly good looking tissot is the PRX, which is kinda just decent, not really much to say. The rest of the Tissots are just boring and uninspired. You couldn't tell it was a Tissot from a few feet away. There are no Rolex which doesn't have an iconic instantly recognizable shape, unless maybe it's the Gay King or Nerdgause, but those ones are for autists anyways. >brand recognitionRolex is for flexing against poorfags, it's great. Tissot, women will get the ick knowing you didn't get a rolex instead. Girls love men wth rolex, not gay ass tissots. >value retentionWho gives a shit honestly, a watch is for wearing. Even then, Rolex hold their value way better than a Tissot ever will. >ease to serviceRolex have tanky movements, and they're not too expensive. Quartz is gay, so who cares about it, the whole watch is at a risk of corroding when having an old battery. >heritage/historyRolex mogs Tissot all day. Everyone knows Rolex, few know Tissot. Rolex created the whole culture of watch flexing, all brands copy elements from Rolex, Tissot copies AP. Rolex just mogs Tissot Your PRX is always at a risk of corroding and dying as Tissot doesn't have the quartz reliability of Seiko.

>>18257227...and you must, naturally.
kys fucking niggerfaggot ratecel lmfao
>>18257226>one of the worst Rolex in recent yearsBecause you couldn't afford it, or because it's a Rolex that is too honest with itself?

>>18257237I haven't posted anything, I just think you have nothing to add to conversations as you just have the same basic Rolex taste over and over again. With some shitter JLCs here and there. You're just a hype follower. If Omegay was popular, you would rate it higher, that's how much of a non-thinker you are. We all know your taste is shit and basic and not worth of any discussion. So how about you just fuck off and kill yourself already. >>18257236The only fucks he gets is the time he gets sodomized by his father every night while he records it for Telegram porn buyers. That's how he's only able to afford a shitter Rolex.
>>18257243Just report the faggot for spamming and move on, no news to give him the (you)s the avatarfagging shit craves for.
>>18257042>he bought another fake
where do we go from here bros??
>>18257233>You can't flex with a TissotNot arguing that you can, perhaps you missed the last part of my post?>I dunno why Rolexfags need to insist their purchase wasn't just what they wanted, but an unavoidable purchase they had to make.If you *want* to flex with your sports watch, then sure accept no alternatives, but trying to reason that a Rolex is objectively the only sensible choice of sports watch based on those criteria, well clearly it loses out to a Quartz PRX.
>>18257237>SeikoOh and he's instantly seething about Seiko, he is the full caricature of /fa/.

>>18257253Are you really trying to flex nudes? Do you know how easy it is to get free nudes from sluts on the internet and irl? You have all those pictures, but none of them have you in it. So you're really just whacking it to the most mediocre nudes possible while having sex with none of them. You are fucking pathetic and you really should kill yourself.
>>18257271He is. He was in the closet and that eventually lead to his divorce. His submissive behaviour with his wife lead her to find a true bull for herself.
>>18257273Pretty much this. Pathetic faggot.
>>18257273>none of them have you in it.Look at this faggot casually asking for dickpics! Sorry homo, I’m only into women.
let's be real hereanyone on /fa/ especially in /wt/ is probably gay or at least bi
At some point we have to choose between a boring thread or a thread with avatarfags.We have to accept that it's not the same and that it is more engaging, interesting and more inspiring having people in our community who we can follow in their watch journey.How hype would it be if Finncel popped up with a new watch? Think about it.OD getting that JLC reverso out of nowhere??? How is this NOT hype af?Whoretadello aka /wt/? Every time he posts you don't know if he got a new watch or where he even is right now.HamiltonChad? Bro... His long distance shots are out of this world.Mort? He has every watch we could ever want and more.And this is just scratching the surface.The CatMoserChad-CMC for short. The cockwatch faggot too. The Germoid who might just be Bitteranon(???).It's just very entertaining. It gives a certain one of a kind-character and feel and makes this thread extremely unique.And we get to talk about watches directly THROUGH them, their objective experiences and analyse them in depth.I love our All-stars and I hope they're doing well.
this is the best watch thread in years
>>18257277>collected over months in HIDDEN FOLDER (which only saves the most recently hidden) >only pictures are those of mediocre nudes of fat womenStop trying to cope your way out of this. You really just tried to flex nudes from whales who you never got to touch. You say they were sent over Tinder, but I think you just added that comment in order to obfuscate the fact you had to pay for them in some OF pages. So much for being a "chad", pfft.
>>18257281This is probably pasta, but uinronically yes.I miss whoretadello and I wonder how he's life in Japan is. He did go a bit overboard with the white posting, but those times were golden.I miss OmegaDrunk's essays on watches and his near incoherent merry drunk posts. I hope his glass never goes empty.Even reversocel I miss. I hope he found peace and the attention he craved for in redit.Even cockwatch. He was so uniquely schizo, he never failed to leave his mark on this thread.Now we have a mostly desolate wasteland of just rambling and arguing about specs... I fear we lost our joy when we lost many of our most important avatarfriends.
You can tell people are seething based on not being able to pick just one thing>They're skanks>They're fat>Nudes are easy to acquire and prove nothing>You've not actually fucked any of themAny one of those may be true, but when you combine multiple of them in a single post, that's coping.Good fun to see though, I feel slightly better about my green Vostok getting a zero lmao.
>>18257288vostoks are for chads
>>18257283>seethe because I gave his Seiko a ZERO>call me a fag>get his ass torn by the proof of all the nudes I receive (often without asking!)>can only cope and has to come up with weird scenarios where I pay women for nudes>also ask to see my dick for some reasonsNext time post a good watch and you'll get that TEN OUT OF TEN you've been begging for. HOMOFAGGOT!
>>18257222>he rates stone dialed Piagetswtf I rate ratingdello now
>>18257292I haven't posted a watch here. You have collected over months in a iPhone hidden folder (which only saves the most recent saved imaged) mediocre nudes, and none of them have you. Which means that you either payed for them or you just downloaded them from the internet. You cannot prove you have sex, because your evidence is weak. Until then, you are still a fat autist who gets no pussy.
For me it's the third one down on the right. Not a fan of the piercing though.
>>18257297NTA but this is tragic.
>>18257253bitches so fugly and he still only gets nudes and no sex, lol lmao
>>18257297>he's still asking to see my dick
>>18257304>Still trying to hide that he never actually got to have sex with any of them
Sirs, this is a watch thread.
Thing is, a post like>So where do your high standards with watches come from?Is so easy to make when you're not red faced and pounding out a frantic cope.
