Good morning Mr. Phelps.

Our agents have determined that Omega has lost all innovative skills. The remaining telephone sanitizers that escaped Ark B are now working on painting the faces in new and hideous colours. It is now just over 2 years til the 50 year celebration of the first Man on the Moon.

Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to create a new movement with a new complication to properly celebrate this moment. You may also dispose of all and any telephone sanitizers by putting them on the next Ark.

This thread with self destruct in 300 posts. Good luck, Jim.

Fine. On the assumption you will--in addition--allow a 321 powered remake of the original MOTFM, I'll give you a more innovative idea.

Personally, I feel like it makes more sense to keep with the spirit of the original as a functional tool watch for outer space usage than to try and incorporate gimmick complications (e.g. earthphase).

Towards that end, I think a silicon movement manufactured using MEMS technology using a free sprung balance and featuring a directly driven chronograph function (for the enhanced shock and g-force resistance) would be most in keeping with the spirit of the original. And of course, no co-axial escapement.

What are some cheap as fuck items I could order from Aliexpress? I have a coupon there and it expires soon.
I already have these from aliex:
>12 watch box

that starburst gray dial and blue points on the indices give that watch a lot of character, it's gorgeous. and 39mm will look good on a 5"-9" wrist.

Everyone should own a high quality blue dial, with at least some dynamism to it like sunburst. Blue is a magical color. When you're under yellow artificial lighting blue shows up so dark, nearly black. But then when you get out into the daylight on a sunny day you'll always be surprised at how blue and brilliant the dial is.

>>60378400
>reddit wants their favorite meme of the month back

>>60383461
The proof that it's a fake is in front of anybody's eyes. The subdials are not in where they should be, and that's because the movement inside is not an authentic AP but a generic caliber wich have been fitted to fool people into thinking it's real.

The easiest way to spot a fake chronograph is this, actually, since the subdials will either have things like 24 hours indicators or day or the week, or, like in this case, the indicators are misplaced from they where belong in the real deal.

IT'S FUCKING FAKE

>b-b-but ackshuallly you're not supposed to wear a watch with black tie!
And how often do you wear a dinner suit, mr. socialite? In a actual formal setting? Stop getting your etiquette ques from wikipedia or one of those lame modern "how to be a gentlemens le modern fedora edition!" books that have become so popular.

People wear watches with formal wear all the time these days; no one gives a shit anymore as it's no longer 1920. People carry their fucking phones with them everywhere too, if you're going to have a stick up the butt about something let it be about that, as it's much worse.

If you're at a state dinner with the queen of england and are decked out in tails, yeah, you should probably not wear a watch.

For some piddling modern "formal" event with tuxedos, no one will look twice at your wristwatch unless you're wearing a gold fagblot big bang and gesticulate wildly with your coat sleeves pulled up, ie. if you're a fucking moron.

And don't say
>oh but you mustn't have been going to the RIGHT formal events with the creme of the crop who still follow these archaic rules that weren't even that stringently followed back in the day!
Yes, I have faggot, and nobody cares anymore since the old people who would've given a shit about this are either dead, senile or too polite to have an autistic shitfit at a measly blacktie dinner if some faggot wears a wristwatch.
The few white tie events I've been to also had people wearing watches.

Do I like it when I see solid garish hublots or ROO's on people's wrists at formal dinners? No. Yes it's a sign of declining standards. But someone wearing a discrete, thin dress watch doesn't bother me. What grinds my gears is when le classy gentlemen parrot shit regurgitated by others ad nauseam.

>>60378424
>frankly it's insulting when I see people wear submariners with suits (let alone tuxedos).
I agree with you partially on one thing: whenever I see some fucker wearing a sub or semenmaster with a dinner suit I cannot help but think they're larping james bond (they are). Usually mid 30's to 40's types, usually ugly and balding.

Yes it is pathetic.

Most of my watches are around 35mm. Another anon recommended >>60378837 I look at this model number Rolex and I think it's a perfect recommendation for me. I didn't know I could get a Rolex at this kind of price.

It's cool if you want one, however these things do go down in value. They are bottom of the barrel Rolexes, ones that people buy because they say 'Rolex' on them. You want a collectable Rolex that doesn't go down in value then check these guys out:

https://www.hqmilton.com/

You don't have to buy from them, you can use them as a guide on what people see/trade as valuable Rolexes.

Acquired this watch a few days ago. Replaced the band with a proper stainless steel bracelet, as the one before was some shitty band.

I can't find anything about the brand, although it seems pretty accurate, and the rust and wear makes it aesthetic.

>>60385698
Yes. My next one will most likely be a Reverso. It will probably not be until beginning of next year.

>>60385690
I'd never get a vostok but I'd get one of the new automatic swatches for the novelty of having a fully machine built automatic watch but they are like 16mm thick.

>>60385698

>>60385717

Why wouldn't you get a Vostok and why not just get a quartz Swatch?

>>60376927
>a more innovative idea
Appreciated.

And I agree it was very much a tool watch. From what the astronauts were telling they used the watches to tell what shifts were on back in Houston. For that a GMT hand would have bee useful when you are on the Moon where the lunar days are just over 2 weeks long. Earthphase for me than has an actual function.

The other thing about the Moon is that you have no satellite navigation means. People have talked about extending GPS satellite coverage all the way to the moon but the dilution of precision would be enormous. On the other hand you would have the Earth hanging hugely in the sky, so determining the angular position of the Earth, compensating for the analemma of Earth in the lunar sky would be pretty handy.

>>60377128

Quartz swatches are too fashion forward for my taste and historically I think the System 51 Ironys are more interesting.

I just don't like the vostoks.

Do mechanical watches with a lower beat rate really require less frequent maintenance?

>>60386322
it's less wear on the parts technically. but it's not a huge difference.

>>60384096
Why?

This exposed increases the chance of damages. Replacing a crystal is likely more expensive then just the bezel and that is even before the hands are caught out too.

>>60386361
I mean from mainly an aesthetic point of view. Although they are generally acrylic which isn't as prone to shattering as mineral or sapphire, it does scratch easier but can usually be buffed out.

>>60386432

I love it. Doesn't get as many wears as it used to though.
Unfortunately fitbit (iirc) bought the Pebble company so no more good smart watches. The app is EOL as well.

Mark my words, the grape dial is a sleeper collector. Some time in the future, long after the least popular current OP dial is discontinued, people will crave it because the future will be full of faggots that like purple dials. Choose the grape. It will be your retirement nest egg.

>>60385511
I like how it looks, but I'm still puzzled. If it's a dress watch, how come they put not onebut two of those seconds markers around the hoir markings? It's something I expect on chronographs.

>>60383863

Get a stark white nato for that dial and that skin. It'll get dirty quick, but that's okay since it'll make the watch look cheap to the untrained eye and you'd be less likely mugged for it.

I would. The 3big5me current models with the maxi-dials look like shit. When the giant watch thing rightfully dies out after the Chink economy crashes people will want to go back to normal watches, only problem being that there's going to be a huge dead spot in the middle for like a decade or two so they'll have to go to the early 2000s to get something other than some jumbo faggot monstrosity. Plus all of the pre-97 tritium dial models are cheap! cheap! cheap! right now so if you want a vintage Rolex that is going to develop beautiful patina you're going to be shit out of luck if you wait around.
