I don't know what this means. Please explain. Also if your longevity is fucked just take out a bunch of loans you're never going to pay back. Normally I would consider this immoral but because the banks are so severely leveraged as it is and all of the fractional reserve fuckery that's going to collapse it's basically like free money.

This is going to be a fucking ambitious project but is it at all feasible to take an SKX013 and:

1. upgrade to a 6R15 (or otherwise)
2. domed sapphire
3. New bezel and insert
4. New hands

Is this ridiculous ?

>>60756299
Ah The case is iso certified so i wouldn't change the sapphire. Bezel inserts are easy to change no need for new bezel. hands and movement are not challenging. That sounds cool as long as you don't spend too much.

>>60756299

>>60756778
Na but i built a few watches and modded a few watches. I have the tools you would need as well. You will need to order some tools to properly mod your watch. If you are just swapping movements and hands i would probably get a hand press a hand removal tool some plastic to protect the dial a pair of good brass tweezers a thin plastic pry tool and some micro mm screw drivers.

>>60756811
you can use some cheap plastic pipettes to put on hands ziplock as the plastic a sanded guitar pick as the pry tool but the tweezers you do really need and the screwdriver you need for the ne15 stem removal.

>>60756773
Look at the NTH subs, they're smaller in size and in the right price range. Armida has a few smaller models too.

>>60755978

>>60755849

For proper formal events you should never wear a watch, for less formal events a thin manual wind dress watch that matches your cuff links and has no complications is acceptable. Wearing a 400 dollar giant green Japanese watch is not acceptable under any circumstances let alone with a fucking suit. Fuck thread is full of poor people.

>>60756935
Those are actually really nice. Anyone have input on NTH subs and how "good" they are?

>>60757113
9015 is a great movement, the brand is run by the same guy who does lew and huey but without the stupid dog logo. I am a big fan of the case design that lets them squeak in under 12mm thick. Lumed crown is a silly feature but it does look really cool.

What is with all these people LARPing like they actually own anything haute horology, which apparently is all that matters to them? I have only seen a small handful of people here who actually own anything high end. Most of these people seem to just be shitposting.

The word you were looking for is "too poor".

That is how its done although in modern day formal settings most people wear a wrist watch anyway. Old money still really doesn't do this. The person is also telling some idiot not to wear a green Seiko with a suit.. nothing they said is fedora tipping. You don't happen to own alpinist do you?

where?
>Old money still really doesn't do this.
and you'd know i suppose lol

this regurgitation of the "oh mustn't wear a watch when in formal attire" is propagated by style guides and other crap people constantly parrot and pass around.
it's a petit bourgeois mentality to ape what they think people with money and higher social status do, so they make a point of stating this "rule" after reading about it somewhere or other, when in reality nobody follows this convention anymore
>seiko
i didn't even get that far in that retard's post

>>60759776
Yeah, my dad got this for me in Hong Kong when I was like 9 (back then you could get them cheaper there). It's very dated. They've been making them for years, they still have a version of it now.

>>60759988

When I was younger older people still very much followed this convention. Again at this point not many but SOME people still do. It is not a style guide rule it a real social rule that was followed for quite some time after the popularization of wrist watches. Also wearing a sports watch with formal attire is garish which I believe was the whole point of the original post.

>>60759988
This is from formal to less formal:

-Actual formal attire (white tie/black tie) is a tradition that goes back to a time before wristwatches, so you wear a pocket watch with that.

-Suits (=matching jacket and pants) are more modern, so a dress watch is appropriate.

-A blazer is somewhat more casual than a suit jacket, and is supposed to exude a distinctly marine style. This calls for something that matches the traditional marine blue fabric and gold cuff links, i.e. something relatively garish.

-Sports jackets are casual and trendy, so you could wear something like a nice tool or dive watch and it would complement it perfectly.

any way like it or not, where can I get one that would fool someone who owns a real one at arm's length?

>>60764053
>dont get a fake.
WHY though, as long as the watch works and does not fall apart what is the problem with an undocumented rolex?

>>60764070
Alright well I can almost guarantee no one will care either way and if they do know it's a fake then you're really embarrassed. ESPECIALLY if they know it's an expensive fake.

Check WUS for custom done ones

>>60764098
>Check WUS for custom done ones

what is WUS and what do i search for?

>>60764087
It's not undocumented. it's fake. Also see below.

>>60764098
>no one will care
This so hard. No one is going to judge you based on your watch, and it will NOT help you fit in.
If anything seeing you with a respectable watch within your means will make the most sense to them. And if they're a watchfag they'll respect it.

>>60764087
>WHY though

>>60764098
>and if they do know it's a fake then you're really embarrassed. ESPECIALLY if they know it's an expensive fake.
You're so fucked if you get a fake and someone knows.
Plus if you're in an office and a lot of people have them and YOU can't afford it they'll pretty much assume yours is fake.
And if it looks pretty good, they'll know you spent a lot on a fake.
It's just bad looks man. You know you'll be watercooler talk.

I mean you work in an office so you must make something. Save up. I'm a poorass grad. student and waiter on the weekends. I save $100 a month for investing and $100 for a good watch. It takes a while, but I have over 4k saved in my watch fund. If it's a little at a time, you don't really notice a hit. Just save up.

>>60764280
>ever had friends?
Yeah, and my friends would call me a faggot for spending more than 20 bucks on a fake watch.
And they'd be right.

OR--assuming they believed it was real--they'd call me an idiot for buying something well above my means to fit in.
And, again. they'd be right.


>>60764301
Who said I wanted a Rolex?
And nigga please, I could easily add to the fund or flat out double it. I have an actual savings, checking, and investments. The watch fund is just a little side thing, so when it gets high enough I have a good chunk of change to throw at a watch without buyers remorse because that's what this cash has always been for.
But like a responsible person I'm focusing more on paying my loans before blowing shit on a luxury item.

That's okay, I'm Belgian and I had a whole sweet potato with my chicken just now.

At least your country is still white.

I need a watch that works and has a decent size case but not much in the way of gears or electronics in it. I have a tiny bug I think I could get in a watch that had a little room in the case.

I think my bf is cheating on me and I want to bug him through a watch I give him as a present.

any ideas?

in every thread. Just assumed you where being a bit more clever about it.

Invicta in general is crap, I'm sure there are a few exceptions. Apparently like;
>>60764527,
who knew?

I'd avoid them. Same with the rest of the fashion brands that just use 5 dollar movements in a random case.
Unless you see one that you love, then get it. Just know the internals suck, but if you don't care, doesn't matter. Enjoy it.

Personally, I'd save up to like 400-600. And get something very old, or a good brand new.

Yep, that's the benefit of living here, zero terror attacks, I was in Brussels a couple of years ago and it indeed looked pretty sad, though I suppose the boat for change has already sailed. Nothing short of mass-deportation of people who are already citizens will stop the Islamization of Europe, simply because of the difference in birth-rates. Western Europe will slowly be overtaken politically imo, rather than through a warring jihad, my condolences

Well, what kind of watch does he like?
And how savvy are you? Can you actually do this or are you just nuts?

Either way, need to know what he likes, cause if he only wears it around you, because it was a present from you, you'll never get your intel.

Also, a watch isn't the best place for a bug. Personally I take my watch off during sex, so wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose.

Well I guess I am a moron then.

I called a local old man watch shop dealer guy and he said inscriptions fuck the value. I took it to a pawn shop and they inspected it and rubbed it against a stone and said it was solid 18k gold and offered me $1200 to melt it down.

they didn't say shit about the inscription either

>>60765887

>>60766109
Well the pawn shop offered me 1200 just for the case, i was going to sell the guts on ebay for 300

I don't think I can get 1500 for it all together though, I might try listing it just to see. Maybe if I included a copy of the book he is mentioned in someone might think that is interesting and pay more.

I have no siblings.

Well I do but my cunt sister is addicted to opiates and giving her anything worth large amounts of cash just increases the chances she will OD and die sooner than later
