>>18582972Why not? I needed (well, it would be nice to have) a watch that is light (so that it doesn't bother me while i'm out exercising like the previous steel watch i had for this purpose), is on a bracelet (because i sweat a lot while exercising in the summer and i chew through leather straps), and is rugged enough to withstand the quick moves of my sport (so that i don't wear my vintage automatics and possibly damage them). Basically i bought it as an upgrade to my Casio Lineage which i will give away to a friend.>>18582974The image is distorted a bit since it's made up close.

Picked up the new solid colour f91ws when they dropped. Got a fair few number of watches but between the all black f91 and my sinn 556i on rubber I don't think I'll ever buy another watch. Maybe if I make it and ever have to really dress up it'd be a a Lange and sohne but until then I'm done. Also I don't really care for automatics but you can't get a 556 in quartz.

Why are jeets spamming watch threads?White women find Indian and Arabian men to be ugly and creepy. Sexcore looks gay. Cologne is not needed. Women don’t care about your Rolex. Looking like a mature man won’t get your laid, old man.
We don't need less watch threads. We in fact, need more watch threads.
>>18584010Classic digitals are great.The paragraphs of bullshit on most modern ones sadden me.
Nurse here from the last thread(I think) thanks for all the suggestions I ended up going with Seiko SRPG35 which I got for 200 from Kohl's of all places as I had kohls cash lying around. I also ended up getting a leather strap for when not in the hospital, I thought that included strap was a bit too "military" for everyday use. Loving this so far, maybe down the line we get that Hamilton Field King
>>18585731the whole point of these new 5s is the bracelet is not total crap
>>18585833maybe its just my wrist but even at the hospital, the strap was kinda meh, i def have to place the watch above my wrists cause im constantly washing hands, but it's very slippery throughout the day and starts to fall, can't go tighter either cause then it becomes a tourniquet... or maybe thats just a drawback with nylon?but when it comes down to it, for everyday use, im just not a fan of the color

The Cubitus, really, is a test. It's here to check your design litteracy. To a simpleton, it's just a big ugly square that kinda looks like a Nautilus (the only Patek he knows).To the horologically educated, the multireferencial intertext of the watch is overwhelming and yet another proof of the genevoise maison. The curvature of the vertical edges is alchemical on several layers (squared circle, transformative Work of a prime element into its sublimized form and elevation, mutual acclimatation of opposites further seen in metal textures, the list could go on) ; the sizing is strict numerology (45 rpm, another circular reference ; hexagonal number pointing to the elegance in the simplicity of the square compared to the OTHER geometric watch with hexagons ; 45 in the enneagram points to the strength of individuality that will generate envy among those on the outside [non-owners])

I got the telemeter bezel installed by Omega. I have no idea who is posting in which thread anymore so I'll just post it everywhere or maybe I'll make /tsg/ Telemeter Speedmaster General
>>18597130What do you measure with it, televisions?
>>18597133Yes, you could if it was a very loud TV.It's for measuring the distance to an observable sound-emitting thing in kilometers.
got this exact spec with the "memes of rice" bracelet in person as i'm a wrist lanklet so the 34mm case was the smallest option outside of the womens quartz watchesthey charge ¥5000 (lol) for onsite sizing, just do it yourself, was easy as shit back at my hotel with the included toolset

I have a watch I probably bought at a pharmacy for $15. Metal on the back reads "Japan Movement". Decided to open up the watch and the innards are stamped with EPSON. Looked this company up and the company is Seiko Epson Corporation. Do I have a cheap watch with a Seiko in it? I don't know much about watches. Since I put a battery in it's been very accurate though.

The 1hz quartz movement and silver-hand-on-silver-dials-with-silver-indices leave something to be desired, but otherwise this is an awesome watch. Seiko titanium quartz, I paid 240 euros
>>18579977Lads, I’m thinking about buying my brother an Omega Speedmaster for his 30th birthday, mainly cause he is a mad lad, not because I’m particularly wealthy. How do the current models and older ones actually go for daily wearing? They seem a bit big when you review the specs on paper. Also considering a Rolex 14270, might also just get the cunt a bottle of rum, drink it with him and end up wrestling in the back yard
>>18602071What would he buy you for your birthday? Are you trying to reciprocate or are you just trying to show off how wealthy you are?
>>18600892>>18601996Works on my machine. (1h56m7s)Get a service, anon.

>>18602075Honestly, we have never given each other gifts and he wouldn’t get me anything, nor would I ever expect anything, but he has had some unfortunate things go his way the past year, he likes watches as well, I’ve got a “nice” watch, I think he deserves one too. I wouldn’t tell anyone except for him. He would give me the shirt off his back if I ever asked for it. I wouldn’t say I’m wealthy in the grand scheme of things.
>>18602105Any other brands that you'd consider? You can't go wrong with Omega or Rolex either way. They're the top known brands.
>>18602085Nah, I've got the telemeter bezel and the UFA.

Alright bros, Saturday Night. Have fun and be nice. Please don't overdo it.
>>18602132Are there no cars on the roads there?
>>18602116He likes Omega, he has a vintage Seamaster. So I think a Speedmaster would be a good choice. The Rolex Explorer wouldn’t be for any particular reason besides I think it is a very gif-table watch, when it comes to design. I think gifting a Rolex might be a bit cringe though. I’m off two minds though, im not a wealthy man, neither is he, but I had some financial goals I had well and truly hit this year, I am owed about the cost of a used Speedmaster by an organisation I am affiliated with since we didn’t have our bank account signatories sorted out for a few months. We finally got them sorted and I am getting the money I spent as a lump sum, I can put it into savings or can get him something nice
>>18601499>>18601234This wasn't me, wrong filename. Nice to know i have a fan though. Have a nice weekend, anons!
>>18602145Honestly, who cares? You’re just transparently trying to convince a bunch of anons that you’re rich.
>>18602145Get him a Rolex. An OP will be similarly priced to the speedy and the name carries way more brand cache. Also you'll build up your purchase history with the AD if you ever want to get yourself something.
>>18602267yea way more cache among gypsies, ranjeets and nogs. there's probably 10x fakes out there than real ones and quarter of them on gypsy hands. if he's not wealthy people will just assume it's fake and he's pathetic larper.

>>18602546I’m thinking of buying that ceramic Zenith. Should I do this?
>>18602644Listen, MSRP they're like 16K but they always sell on HUGE discounts. I'm talking 10K even. I tried this specific one on and, while it wasn't underwhelming, I couldn't stop thinking about the price. The movement is just a stripped down el primero and the ticking was LOUD. You could hear it from 3 feet/1m away. It's also much bigger than the dimensions suggests. It's not a bad choice but you absolutely must try it on yourself first irl. Finishing was not at 16K standards by any means. Ultimately, I decided for the Moser instead. I really like ceramic though. Had my Tudor for a little over two years and it has still zero scratches, zero. It's very weird considering how beat up my GS is by comparison.
>Thorn offers free shipping>Watch never shipsIs this the power of communism?
>>18602546I disagree. Only for the fact that it's a black watch and it's sturdy. Also, 9 out of 10 times I only wear black clothing so it fits perfectly with that too. Recently got a red strap too and it has seen more wrist time since then.

>>18603410fucked up, radium paint is a stupid complex 3d effect at this point in 2025. They just need to make SLN that also ruins the paint around it in an interesting way.

>>18603477Knowledge only increases pain, anon..The blissful ignorance is always the better way. If your watch is giving you good service and running well, there's no need to time it. If you do get a timegrapher you can't help but to nitpick every minute detail in its running.

>>18582097Your mom gives off big dick energy.>>18584010Based on Rolextard logic, I should pay $10,000 for that at least and blow my AD to get on the cue.
