What's the point of cheap watches? If you want functionality a smartwatch beats everything, and if you care about horology or want to flash wealth nothing less than five digits is worth it.
>>18594094Cheap watches can also look nice.
>>18594094I hate batteries, but I'm poor.
>>18594094Flexing your wealth with a watch is a boomer thing, no one cares about watches anymore."High horology" has peaked 40 years ago.Which is great, cause now you can wear whatever the fuck you want and like the look of, and there are plenty of great designs below $500.
>>18594094There are a lot of very high quality cheap watches nowadays thanks to China stepping up.I like watches, I like different designs, sizes, movements. It's a hobby, it's not meant to impress anyone but yourself (and maybe other retards that are into the same hobby). It's really not that hard to understand bro.
>>18594094>a smartwatch beats everythingI want to be able to check the time without seeing my boss's Teams message.
>>18594099kind of a neat dial texture but those screws look awful
This is my thread!
>>18594094>If you want functionality a smartwatch beats everythingSure of course, if you are retarded goycattle that wants every aspect of your life down to your heart rate and step count to be accurately measured and stored by every glowie and corpo out there (and don't forget to charge your wrist gizmo every few days!)
Thoughts on this kommandirskie model?
>>18594083>>18594061I guess it's just that particular watch. It seems to last a long time, but again, the times I was using it at night, which was a lot, I was far away from any artificial light. That being said, if you have moonlight, you can almost read any watch. Or I just have exceptional light sensitivity, but I doubt it.
>>18591749watchdives makes one

I kinda like it but i dont know if I can embrace the roblox lugs.
This is the closest thing to a luminox that I like. 39mmx12mm22mm strap
Sorry I guess these wemt a lityle pas shitter pricing. None are unobtainium though.. they all have tritium tubes. Youknow what they say. Tritium rhymes with clitium.
>>18594147looks better than the non-symmetrical screw layout of cartier
I bought my gf the white version of this watch as a gift a few months back and I've wanted one of my own for a while now. I like small watches that I can slip under the sleeves of my sweaters and I think I'm going to get it.
>>18594094I am saving up for a five digit watch, but in the meantime I like wearing shitters so I don't need to worry about anything happening to them and they have a lot of character of their own, like most things you own for a while.
Arriving today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbx4egB-8TMlet me guess. you need more.
>>18594554>seikoYes i need sapphire crystal and a braclet that's not hysterically terrible.
>I need hazy glass and chinkshit I can't wear
>>18594552give us a review
>>18594522Why go for such a basic Casio when there's ton of good options for the same price?
>>18594663such as?
>>18594081How is ur dude luminous? Mine isn't
>>18594743skill issue.
>>18594552Nice choice, these aren't expensive.
>>18594743AFAIK the 78010a model is the only basic Amphibia that has it.
Friendly reminder that vostoks are terrible shitters and should never be used as a watch, as in a time instrument. You can buy it as fifth or so watch, wear once a month while you walk your dog or scrub a toilet.
>>18594978They're objectively bad watches, but mine are accurate enough I have to set them less than twice a month to stay within +/-1min and I like their quirks.
>>18594107Imagine the embarrassment when someone thinks your watch is cool and asks about it and you have to tell them it has no particular history or value, it's just some cheap chinkshit from aliexpress.
copped leftwhat do we think?
why can't we wear a watch on each wrist?
>>18595049Looks good.
>>18595080You can do it, if you work hard and truly believe in yourself.
>>18595026Nobody wants to stand there while you sperg out for half an hour about the history of the Explorer.
>>18595026Do you think anyone other than watch autists (who will probably already know what you're wearing) want a history lesson when they say you have a cool watch?
>>18594552Looks like my SKX007
>>18594962what's the giant circle at 6 for?
>>18594663Sometimes less is more and I'd like to match with her
>>18595215Moisture detector. The white half of the circle turns pink if exposed to water. The 50 Fathoms was one of the earliest dive watches, and military divers didn't fully trust the seals.https://www.ablogtowatch.com/blancpain-tribute-fifty-fathoms-mil-spec-wrist-watch/
Thinking of getting a Seiko SRPE57K1any alternative ideas?
>>18595234Only thing that comes to mind is the Tudor heritage black bay smiley dial
Jeet tier or nah?
>jap clomage watch>chinese brand>has swiss mov't insidewhat in the world is happening?
>>18595234quartz
>>18594630>>18594797I can't stop staring at it
>>18594978>>18594978Is there a difference between boctok and vostok? I just ordered a vostok
go-to casio duro alternatives?
>>18595380There's a lot of clone casios on ali express.. at that ppont why not just buy the actual casio? Id prefer for it to at least have casio branding.
why are hamilton khakis so expensive? it's all quartz until past 400 USD. everyone goes nuts for these things, what's so special about them?>>18595369you keeping the rubber strap? how's it feel?

>>18595380about a million invictas
>>18595403Cause they're "Swiss made".
>>18595379Bocтoк is just the kyrillic writing for Vostok.But they're sold as "Vostok" if you're on an English language website.It should say Bocтoк on the dial though. If it says Vostok on the dial it's either a fake or from Vostok Europe (different company, made in Lithuania, more expensive).
>>18595410I should be all good. I ordered the Vostok Amphibia 420334. It does not say Vostok anywhere on the dial. I think its an interesting watch company.. my watch has an acrylic crystal. Ita so old school. Haha. Its gonn be a fun one.
>>18595026everyone, and I mean everyone, thinks you're obnoxiousget help
today's timepiece
>>18595403Because Interstellar The khaki looks like shit in person
>>18595618>Vostok>Date complicationAbsolutely mental that the Russians somehow managed to fuck up something that was perfected more than half a century ago
>>18595643It's not a problem for Russians cause they only own one watch.
>>18595643>perfected more than half a century agoHalf a century ago, even Rolex didn't have any date quick adjust.
>>18595618timepiece of shit
>>18595649"Half a century ago" was the 1970s, Rolex had a working date complication in the 40s anon
>>18595652Gemini lied to me again!
>>18595049I don't like that hour hand.
>>18595142>>18595179If you had rizz you'd understand how that can be a great conversation starter.
>>18595622well it was a good movie i guess.>>18595408oh you're right, i thought they were american but apparently they're swiss now.
I hate poor peopleCan't get enough cash for a decent watch? Just buy a casio and forget about it
>>18595918ThisI was just texting my AD about it while he was on a date with my wife and he basically said the same thing about poorfags.
