Lastly, I'm absolutely in love with this 18 carat, rose gold TAG Heuer Carrera shitter purchased from the beautiful city of Perth. Made with sapphire infused glass that only diamond can scratch, I've spoiled myself with this gorgeous timepiece. The calibre 16 movement has been crowned as the most successful automatic chronograph movement ever produced, completely handmade by man. It is also my very first day date watch and it will be interesting to see if it becomes an important feature that Will depend on over time. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I do.

This one is actually kind of true though.

>>60729633
Don't be dumb, there's plenty of interesting watches under 2.5, especially if you count vintage. As long as you call a spade a spade there's nothing wrong with cheap watches.

Seriously though, what does /wt/ think about deadbeat seconds? Up until very recently only come swiss movement maker actually could make them on a mass scale. Now we've got tiny little Viennese workshops making them.

Were they too cheap to put a weight it making it automatic? It literally looks like its missing something.

deadbeat seconds are gay and for fags

>>60729990
It also fucks up the geometry of the watch. Plus try to change the date at around midnight and see what happens.

>>60730161
>Plus try to change the date at around midnight and see what happens.
That's just shitty design, nothing can be done about that

You would think they would make improvements to the watch if they are going to charge thousands more every year for the same thing

Can you have a flat crystal put on a subby with date?

I could read it fine without the cyclops or glasses

>>60730181
So you agree that a date function on a watch is dumb until someone fixes this design.

>>60730240
In all honesty it fucks up on the Seiko as well, sure you can try to change the date a few times on the Seiko. And it still might be okay, but doing it too much will result in the plastic date wheel snapping off and not changing at all. In Patek and/or JLC they have a small safety notch which activates around 11am to 1am which will not allow for date changes.

Yes, and it looks much better IMO

>>60730414
Holy shit that does look better, how much does Rolex charge for that dial?

can you just keep the old one and swap it back to sell it?

>>60730350
Modding it will also render it "unservicable" by the official rolex service centers.

So if you did manage to remove the cyclops off a DJ or a Sub, Rolex would want to charge you for a new crystal before they would even consider touching the watch for service or repair.

Modded stuff, like those retarded "prohunter" pvd black coated subs can't be repaired by the official watchmakers. And they look like shit, and will look worse when the scratches on the coating occur. And they cost more.

>>60730427
That's a sterile "homage"/knockoff. A few printed letters and a coronet away from being a fake.
Rolex don't do sterile dials.

You'll have to shop around as these things can very greatly in quality.

Sterile homages come from the same factories in china as the fakes.

Look at those horrible hands, the lume, and the bezel pip for starters. Like I said, that watch is a few printed words and a coronet away from being an outright fake.

>>60729596
>>japshit will never compete with swiss shit
Japshit is better than Swiss shit. You get more out of a GS than a Rolex, for half the price. Swiss shit is only realivent because they built up a reputation when the Swiss actually made watches in switzerland, that they are now banking off of.

t. $1000 subbys cost $8000. You're literally paying $7000 just for the name. Hell Rolex couldn't even be bothered to make hands for their watches after switching to the shit maxicases.

>>60729967
Real question. Why would you want a mechanical watch that beats like a quartz? Why not just get a quartz watch at that point?

>>60730666
Where could you get a sterile subby with good lume and better quality hands etc?

>>60730666
Oh, wait, I thought >>60730520 meant that >>60730414 had a rolex marked bracelet and crown lol.
Not that I haven't seen that kind of get up around at least once I'm sure.

I once had a hard on for the sterile sub back when I couldn't afford anything else, but now when I look at it it's just too sterile. Too much expanse of nothing and I got bored of it quickly.

The old 2 liner sub is the best sub and its like will never be seen again because apparently people fucking love dial novellas and blingy shit.

>>60730712
If you had asked me that like 10 years ago I could've told you. Nowadays I don't know. Search for a sterile submariner and read the replies in the usual watch forums. Should get some clues from there.

>>60730703
>Real question. Why would you want a mechanical watch that beats like a quartz?

It's supposed to come from the times when doctors actually measured your pulse by holding your wrist and looking at their watches. It has something to do with the easier seconds-counting.

>>60730755
Am I wrong for thinking about getting a sterile subby if I can find one of good quality because I think it actually looks better than a rolly because the dial text is too much?

The alpinist is far from a generic watch, especially seeing as I live in the south. I will probably never see anyone else wearing one.
And the strap is made by some guy on amazon. He also has an etsy store for leather goods. It's a nice, simple strap that I think looks better than most actual generic straps like pic related.

>Why is it people get so upset over which flavor of religion people believe in?

At least for Baptists or other real Christians it's because they know they will burn in hell if they don't accept Jesus Christ as their saviour. I mean what kind of asshole would you be if you thought that you knew the key to everlasting life and you DIDN'T try to win people over to the truth and save their soul? This is why I have very little respect for the majority of Orthodox, Catholic, non-Denoms, Methodists, Amish etc. as it's like they have the cure for cancer in their pocket and they're walking through a sea of sick, dying people and are like "nah fuck it, I'm keeping this to myself".

Any bible believing Christian cannot believe that "all roads lead to Heaven" as this is wildly unbiblical and is just cowardice, Satanism and postmodernism infecting Christianity.

Matthew 7:13-14
>Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 4:18-19
>And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

John 14:6
>Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Also here's a really nice Air-King. I can't believe you can get these things for less than $2000. Beautiful pieces, and the size is small by modern standards but not that terrible.

I want all people who want to believe to believe on their own volition. Not to mention that you are implying that any old person can just go around and preach about god.

Can anyone tell me which brand is better in terms of digital watches - Casio or Timex?
A lot of WUS members argue that Timex has better digitals for less money, but I know that Casio has a lot of options like solar, radio controlled and sensors. But, people on WUS still claim that budget Timexes are better than even mid-range G Shocks.

I love this kind of watches, leather & gold.
My father has an almost identical one in the safe, belonged to my grandfather, it's from the sixties I believe, when the time comes I'll wear it.

>>60729383
Oooohh, a Rolex!
Does it measure barometric pressure? No
Does it have a compass? No (doesn't matter as never leaves the house)
Does it give you an altitude reading? No, doesn't fucking do that either.
But it's probably made of solid fucking gold for 7k right? Er, no. Stainless steel actually.
But for that money it must keep time like an atomic clock right? No, it's accuracy is shit compared to a child's hello kitty digital watch that came in a happy meal.
Oh, ok. But they must be reliable as fuck. No, they require regular servicing.
And the warranty must be for the full lifetime right? No, 5 years then any repairs are on you.
But you never have to wind it? No, you have to wind it, but it will do this for you automatically during the following activities:
-Having a left handed wank
-Wafting your farts in the faces of other people
-Waving bye bye to your money

Per the FedEx website.

I just ordered an alpinist from seiyajapan last night.

The only other watch I've bought from overseas was a vostok, and obviously didn't pay any duties because it's value was so low. Not sure if I will have to with the sarb, but it seems like if they ship via fedex that you can just refuse and the seller is held responsible. Now whether they try to bill you or add an extra charge to cover those costs is another question.

>>60738342
so it's not 100% confirmed? I really don't want to pay 4,5% customs and 22% VAT. that's almost 200€ extra, for fuck's sake

>>60738342
how much is VAT and is it worth canceling postage on an international fedex delivery to avoid?

>>60738297
>But they must be reliable as fuck. No, they require regular servicing.

How does that movement compare to an eta or a sellita? is it basically a 2824 in terms of quality? Trying to determine how "good" it is

>>60739809
no the 2824 is a much better movement and they are usually always finished better. But the ne15 is pretty accurate however it is a low beat movement. It has hand wind, quick set date, and hacking seconds. The ne20 is closer to a standard grade 2824.

A freind of mine really wanted that watch. He only had cheaper seiko watches for most of his life. He saved up for ages until he could afford it, placed the order and went to pick it up from a dealer. He drove 3 hrs to get there and when he arrived, the shop said the watch had failed to be delivered and they did not know when it would be available.
My freind went absolutely crazy and argued with the man and ended up throwing a rock through the window of the store and got arrested.

Faster, more fun to drive, rear wheel drive, corners better, accelerates quicker has a better stereo and seats cruises at interstate speed more smoothly, stops faster (better brakes) has more available options, more torque and horsepower

I don't get what's fun about pretending to be a racecar driver on public roads where you can't actually drive fast or do anything fun anyway.

>>60740903

Did I say I was racing the car?

Just merging and getting up to speed on the interstate is better and safer when your car is not revving to 5000 rpm just to get up to speed.

Additionally as I mentioned the M5 stops quicker and that is a safety issue. It has a better quality interior and is just a better made car.

If it were not for trying to save money on construction the Civic would have better brakes and more horsepower

>>60740942
>If it were not for trying to save money on construction the Civic would have better brakes and more horsepower
Yeah and if you weren't trying to save money on literally every item ever made by man including a BMW then it would be perfect too but money exists.

Getting to 70 mph at a slightly less rpm doesn't sound fun to me, and it certainly doesn't sound $70,000 additional cost fun.

>>60740972
>Getting to 70 mph at a slightly less rpm doesn't sound fun to me

Just confused as to why dopes would let themselves get suckered by the "luxury" meme.

Your watch being needlessly complicated to its own functional detriment and your car being needlessly complicated beyond the point you can actually use it is just burning money. No matter what you say you won't get any lasting satisfaction from having exotic wood in your car's interior or having a swiss name on your wrist. If you have that kind of money to burn spend it on going places and doing things instead of falling for the advertising and the rat race.

>>60741394

Go get someone to give you a ride in a nice BMW then take a ride in a civic, you might not like it but you are getting something for the extra money in the BMW, the two cars are not of equal quality. He said "if you like cars" you apparently don't and therefore are not in that category. He didn't say "everyone should do this". A big nice house on nice property requires more maintenance and money than living in a trailer in a trailer park but you can't say you don't get anything for the extra money you spend

>If you have that kind of money to burn spend it on going places and doing things instead of falling for the advertising and the rat race.

you are just mad at the world, most people with cars like that have good jobs and do travel they are not buying a car then eating ramen noodles to make up for it- an M5 is kind of a business executive or doctor's car

for you

>>60741585
I have been in both and guess what, it feels like being in a car.

Having a good job doesn't mean you aren't burning money and you don't need to be eating ramen noodles for it to be a bad idea. Unless you are absurdly wealthy every dollar you spend could be spent on something else, buying "luxury" garbage is for people who can't think two weeks ahead. If you use the money you would have spent on dead african trees in your car cabin on saving and retiring earlier to do the things you really want you would be much better off.

No one on their deathbed reflects fondly on how much they impressed Mr. Jones next door with his fancy "luxury" junk.

>>60741689

So you are trying to change the guy's worldview to have a more philosophical attitude in general, and you are attempting to do that by calling him a boy racer for driving a 4door luxury car and making fun of him and being a dick.

in case this is not bait, watchmakers drop tiny amounts of specialized (often moebius) oils on the jewels of the movement and specialized grease on steel on steel parts.

you really only need those clunky claws for monobloc cases without two piece stems.

That's lovely; I especially like the lugs. What is it?

Tried out Lidia in hounslow the other day, lidia mature on adultwork. Fat, old Polish whore with big tits and even bigger belly. Cheap and cheerful, only £80 for an hour including BB with CIP. She was alright. bit too fat to be honest even if you like inseminatiing old ladies. Still, if you ever fancied inseminating a pat butcher type, or are simply on a tight budget, you could do worse.

>>60744935
Watch looks cool but I need serious opinions.


>>60744955
straps look bad I agree, probably why I'm hesitating.

>>60745244

>>60745348
I'm looking for a good looking Casio I can afford up to $150.
What do you recommend ?

>>60745424
I wouldn't recommend Casio in the first place.

>>60745452
Why not ?

>>60745569
I would recommend something like a Seiko if you're looking around the 150$

>>60742214
From what I've personally seen, Sea-Gull has better QC.

>>60743449
Not bad, where from?

>>60745749
Ebay.

Where is the cheapest place to get an SKX013?

Normalfag here w/o much expendable income. I was thinking about getting a fake stainless Submariner for $200 from this one site when I get a new big-dick job to celebrate. I hear they are nearly identical to authentic ones but can they fool other normies? Can they fool high-finance bros who own them purely as status symbols?

I just refined the search to only include items located in the UK. Mine came on a bracelet that all the gold had worn off & it looked like shit.

I knew it would look good on a different strap and I got lucky. Just be patient and don't over bid, there are thousands of Seiko 5 out there.

Pic related, what mine looked like when I got it.

And the state of the bracelet.
>>60746062
Ebay also. It may have been slightly more, perhaps £5-ish it was a couple of years ago and I can't really remember.

>>60746062
I just remembered that I got the strap from tower.time, I think their prices have gone up a bit & they're closer to £8.

Is this one of the dumbest watches ever?
'faux mini dials' (and thus also useless top/bottom pushers, as they control nothing.

I just want to point out how ridiculous this statement is.
You'd be hard pressed to find a single modern M5 in a competitive racing series. Civics make for much better race cars than the M5.

I did a history degree at Oxford - I ended up doing a more quantitative masters but my coursemates have all waltzed into all kinds of decent jobs.

You actually have quite a lot of spare time in a history degree if you want to learn new skills (volunteering etc.) and that's how a lot of people get job-ready.

Go to Oxford, idiot

Waiting for a seiko sarb017 to arrive, is it alright? Wanted something fashionable that isnt trash.

Picked this up yesterday for $100 USD fully functional, +/- 15s a day.

Also, is it worth replacing the crystal? It's scratched to oblivion.
