Why is this on /fa/ now, /g/bros?

Apparently watches are merely fashion accessories and don’t contain technology.

Reminder

Babbys first Rolex

>>13561701
I would cum deep inside!

What's the best diver watch with an ETA 2892/2824 top grade under 3k?

>>13561822

>>13561822
Steinhart Ocean One Titanium 500 maybe?

>>13561863
>Not top grade
>Shameless Sea Dweller homage
Into the trash it goes.
>>13561866
>Lots of QC issues
same as the former.

>>13561822
>under 3k
If you can stretch to $3,500 you could get a Tudor BB58 with Tudor's in-house movement.

If you must stay below $3k, I'd at least consider a used ETA 2892 powered Omega Seamaster I guess.

Sadly not many companies using the ETA 2892-A2 in divers other than microbrands with known QC issues.

>>13561870
>ask for suggestions
>get good ones
>whine like a bitch

>>13561822
There used to be a Glycine Lagunare 2824 Chronometer actually...

Id go Ch. Ward c60 Bronze anyway, and save my money.

>>13561884
Christopher Ward use Sellita movements now.

>>13561863
That nose tho

>>13561894
I wouldnt care.

Thoughts on Rodania watches?

>>13561932
They sound like a Harley Davidson

>>13561877
Except that these watches aren't good suggestions.
>>13561894
I wouldn't care too, unless the rumored QC issues are statistically proven.
>>13561875
>If you can stretch to $3,500 you could get a Tudor BB58 with Tudor's in-house movement.
I actually wanted an ETA mov't to have something that can be serviced easily by any watchmaker without breaking the bank.
>If you must stay below $3k
Is there anything worth of attention in the 3-5k with the specs I want?
> I'd at least consider a used ETA 2892 powered Omega Seamaster I guess.
I considered it too, but I'm not too fond of the design. I still can't decide if it is cool or it is another victim of the 90's designs.

The only other options I've found are:
>Doxa Sub 1200t or something like that
>Sinn U1
>Sinn 104(not exactly a diver tho)

>>13561937
???

>>13561949
You must be new.

>>13561884
How much is the watch in the pic?

>>13561964
Used to be like just under 3000. Dunno now.

>>13561897
Not him, but I've heard from multiple watchmakers that the Sellitas are not up to the quality of the ETAs.

>>13561662
How does the bezel on that work? It looks like some kind of decompression timer

>>13561964
>>13561977
Looks like it's a limited edition of 200 pieces. Good luck finding one
Also,
>46mm
fuck that

>>13561988
Yes, it's a decompression timer

>>13561995
oh cool. I thought that you'd operate the inner and outer bezel separately or something.

I can't believe they misspelled descent twice in the same paragraph.

Also you should download a program called shareX to make screenshots easier. You just hit the key and can use your mouse to highlight the area of your screen you want and then it will automatically upload it and send you a url. You can also use it to record your screen in gifs or do other shit with it.

Whats the best Seiko Prospex diver?

>>13562095
Hehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheehehehehehehheheheeh

>>13562113
wat binch

Got a few more of my watches out and decided to take a pic. Not the best, because the camera on my Blackberry PRIV is kinda shitty by todays standards, but tfw I really like the phone.

>>13562129
Been pestering you for awhile for a collection pic. Thanks anon i'm a fan. What is the deal with the Rado? A gift?

>>13562129
Thiccccccccccccc!!!

>>13562129
That's actually a very nice collection fa.m

>>13561707
>Buying a replica

>>13562140
Hey man, I think I remember you asking me back in /wt/ on /g/ for one, right? Sorry about the delay on that. Just been crazy-busy lately. Have a random Eco-Drive pic exhibiting my wristletness and why I never buy anything above 38mm to make up for it.

The Rado was indeed a gift. I do really like it however. Has quite a fair bit of sentimental value to me and it's pretty unique in comparison to everything else I own. Next Rado on my to-get list is a Purple Horse. Really like some of the case and dial variations on them. Gotta wait for the right one to come up though. Might see if I can find a pic of the one in particular I am looking for and post it ITT.
>>13562143
>tfw was a struggle fitting them on my tablet.
That's not even all of them. I've actually had to give a couple of watches away recently to make room for new ones.
>>13562150
Thanks Anon, I appreciate the compliment.

>>13562095
Aesthetically? SLA017
Functionally? SBBN031 probably.

>>13562161
I meant your wrist is thiccccc, so you must be thiccccc XXXL

>>13562167
Oh, kek. Nah, I have super skinny bitchwrists actually. 15.5CM around I think, so that'd be 6.1 inches give or take?
>tfw fucking wristlet

Tuna today.

>>13562202
Why is it quartz

>>13562202
wat

>>13562295
>wants a durable watch that can handle anything, or is at least styled as such
>gets an automatic

>>13562295
Back when Seiko made the first ones they were mechanical but switched over due to better shock resistance I think I read.

>>13562165
I’d like the SLA017 but for 6k one can clearly get something better.

It should be 600 tops.

Why do I always fuck up, guys?

Just barely missed this on ebay. Feels bad, man.

>>13562358
How much did it sell for?

>>13562366
$1837

>>13562358
Tissot heritage chronographs are really good looking.

Btw, this model was featured in the movie oss 117.

>>13562376
Don’t tell me that.
I’m a movie whore.

can we get more blue-hair qt watch gril?
does she hab name

>mfw 7 1/4" wrists master race
What watch should I get, guys?

>>13562339
>It should be 600 tops.
It's essentially a slight less adjusted Grand Seiko, saying Seiko should sell it for $600 is like saying Tudor should sell the BB58 for $600 because it's not a Sub.

>>13562457
Well yeah

>not wearing a Panerai
what are you guys, a bunch of faggots?

>>13562468
they're clownish

>>13562468
>TFW you pay $10,000 for an unfinished Unitas 6497 Standard Grade.

>>13562468
They look extra chromosomy, hard to explain.
Like a downy watch.

>>13562398
The one you like Anon.

>>13562468
I like a few. Would like to see a 38mm one but with 100m water resist.

>>13562480
Thanks :)

>>13562468
Because they're overpriced normie shit. You don't wear a Panerai because you like watches. You wear a Panerai because you want people to see your huge grandfather clock sized cock and balls swinging watch. They're trash.

The huge watch meme needs to fucking die. 40mm is considered SMALL these days. What the fuck happened?

the 1200wh has unironically become my favorite watch

>>13562510
>40mm is considered SMALL these days
It isn’t?

>>13562570
Post your watch collection

>>13562295
Keeps more accurate time, is more durable and more resistant to shocks and magnetic fields, battery lasts 5 years, it gives a low battery warning with no need to worry about whether or not it's fully wound.

Also the 7C46 is a good movement. It's sturdy and made to be repairable and it has high torque to drive full-sized hands. The hands hit the indices and don't wobble and it's totally silent. Just because lots of quartz watches are shit doesn't mean they're all shit.

>>13562577
No
Everyone thinks it’s boring.

>>13562582
Let me see them anon.

>>13562510

Someday I'll be able to afford this grail

I know nothing about watches but have a new job and would like to get one. Opinions on pic related? Are Hamilton good quality

Yo.

Which do y'all think the average normie would assume is more expensive?

>>13562701
I don’t know shit about quality.
But I sure do love my Hamie.

>>13562562
>>13562585
She'd be somewhat attractive where in not for that dumbfuck hair.

>>13562704
The average normie would think both are expensive but have no idea about the price.

>>13562674
I might start a movie watch collection.
I’ll start with your dream watch.
Thanks, Anon.

if you could only have one, would /wt/ rather have their dream watch or their dream car?

>>13562730
My realistic dream car is like 5K and my realistic dream watch like 10K so I'd go watch.

>>13562730
Why would i need a car when I have a watch?

>>13562585
thank you for resizing your shitpost down to a normal file size

>>13562737

>>13562730
Well my dream car isn’t my Chevy Sonic so I’d go for the dream car.
Because then I could have the watch.
You go for the difficult first.

>>13562730
Watch because I can get twingo easily.

Where can I find the 2001 A Space Odyssey watch?

Post train wrecks

>>13562864

They're trying to make an Alpinist inspired watch now that it's been discontinued. How could it be improved?

I'm dying for a Seiko Prospex Titanium. where can I get one

>>13562875
It gets boring to laugh at the same retard all the time.

>>13562515
Green map version is the best version.

I am torn between the Sumo or Shogun.. or even Turtle. Which pick?

>>13562704
The GMT, because the bracelet is shinier.

>>13562990
Why not the Samurai? it's cool as fuck

>>13562715
isnt the hulk like 20k and the gmt 20k resale ?

>>13562385
Are you completely disappointed that Hamilton never made this watch? I am.

>>13561662
Post Time watches.

>>13563009
personal preference, I like the tick marks better

>>13562990
If you can afford a Shogun then go for the Shogun.

>>13563041
its fucking noice

>>13563041
How much is the Shogun?

My daily driver used to be a Seiko Samurai that my girlfriend bought me for our one year. After we split about 5 months ago I decided to snag this for about 700 usd from a guy off ebay.

Really light cause titanium, and I unironically dig the bind strap I threw on. Anyone have any opinions on the shogun? I know I could've gotten the sumo for the same movement, but I'm not sure what it is, but I'm not the biggest fan for a 4oclock crown

>>13563026

Can I discuss smart watches here or should I take it to /g/ ?

>>13563091
Take it to /g/ and let us know if the thread survives.

>>13563091
Ironically /fa/ will enjoy smart watches more than /g/.

>>13563092
>>13563120
I figured since its not a mechanical watch, it would be moreso on topic over there. This is why I asked first.
Anyway, is there a recommended place to find watch faces? Or am I better off making my own, like ricing my phone's homescreen?

>>13561701
>MacBook

Rate

its getting warmer again and soon it will be scorching again in Aus. I want to get some use out of my vostok but I hate the default bezel/insert, so which one of these shall I do? Orange is a bit more fun and summery but black isn't such a gamble on looking decent

>>13563136
> Cheap looking leather strap.
> Leather on a diver (this example looks like ignorance, not a style choice)
> Low-end mechanical watch with mediocre aesthetic.

>>13563156
Get both if you can't decide.

Cleaned my Seiko 4633 this morning, so I'm assembling it now. I'm listening to the Hackers soundtrack while working, but this isn't a 90's movement, this is an early to mid 70's one.

So recommend me work music from that period /wt/.

>>13563226
They give small Ritter sports. I'm just in neighborhood of Germany though so maybe that's why it was fast.

There are shark mesh bracelets that can be adjusted down to a pretty small size, you just have to look for the H-link style ones.

>>13563417
Chinkshit.

It's amazing what little shit can stop a watch movement from properly working. The wear on the edge of the tooth at the 9th of the date wheel is barely visible even at 500x mag, but even this is enough so that the date quickset get stuck at the 9th with the sliding pinion jumping off the tooth's edge.

All metal dial side apart from the date wheel, nigguh.

No wire springs in the entire movement, fucking Geneva-seal ready NIGGUH!

>>13563495
Fuck, where pic?

Just bought another shitter.
tfw 400$ step behind my Gaga Tudor.

Which one of the /wt/ regulars has the worst collection in your mind?

Would you buy a casio watch or is it a just a meme to wear these?

I like how the hessalite looks but hate how easily it scratches. How often do any acrylic lens owners polish their watch?

Told you my collection was shitty. But fuck you all rook same.

Opinions on the Watch ?

>>13563744
Are you going to suggest that that's not replica, or will you just admit it?

>>13563747
I got it as a gift and it's around 6k so why would it be a replica lmao

>>13563724
My mom has that one not even memeing.
Fucking love it.

>>13563751
AP is not 6k. It is fake. If it was a gift how would you know how much it cost anyways?

>>13563757
Your mom has a lager branded watch?! That’s pretty weird.

>>13563761
It was 13k new but it's fairly well worn so it is worth around 6k.

I just googled the model to find out the original price and after that i asked around to find out the current value the watch holds.

Is it pretentious to wear 2 watches at the same time? Like on both wrists?

I did it one time because I was sending one to the shop and had my backup ready and I liked the feel.

>>13563765
So you were gifted a woman's watch?
It's fake dude, sorry.

>>13563778
Why are you like this?

I'm thinking about selling it and buying one that is under 1k but actually suits me, since i don't think it looks great either.

>>13563793

>>13563784
That’s how I should wear my boring not sexy watches.

>>13561988
What's the significance of the image you've attached?
>>13562732
Looks like the Dawn Machine

>>13563744
If Genta had designed the polished slanted parts outside of the bezel to have more 2D geometries with flat, distortion free polishing done on a Sallaz machine and the watch didn't have that dial texture, I'd love it.

As is, no thanks.

I have an offer to cop a Seiko Shogun for $750 with mild wear. Worth it?

>>13563802
Less than 400 would be nice. And yeah I really want mechanical. Max probably 41mm.im fit but my wrists aren't big. The pic I posted of the Seiko 5 is on my wrist which is 38mm watch. I'm assuming 42 mm is too big for my wrist?

>>13563842
The SKX is your best choice. The 007/009 has a short lug to lug, or go for the 013. Either way, consider getting one one from Artifice Horoworks with a 4R35 movement upgrade and cosmetic QC done by him.

Everything else mechanical that fits your budget and has an ISO rating is too big.

>>13563856
Alright. Appreciate that help. I will definitely look into Artifice Horoworks. Very good to know.

>>13563793
>I needed a iso certified tool diver.
You don't. ISO certification in these times is only a marketing gimmick: it has been introduced in 1996, when mechanical watches were not used anymore for diving.
Who the hell dives with an expensive, obsolete tool, which has problems even dealing with gravity?. Also, Rolex doesn't certify their Subs and Sea-Dwellers, you think people wouldn't buy one just for that?
If you -really- need something to do at least recreational diving with, pick a diving computer from Suunto or something.
If you want a diver-styled watch, there's plenty of options. I bet you want something mechanical and affordable: pick an Orient Ray/Mako II on rubber (it's usually cheaper than the version with the folded links crappy bracelet) and swap the stock strap with a fabric one or a bracelet from Strapcode.

>>13563864
>I bet you want something mechanical and affordable
I haven't noticed this message >>13563842 kek

Poorfag edition

>>13563864
Alright fair enough. I mostly just wanted something pretty tough as I'm a construction worker. And I'm getting dive certified next month. Didn't realize iso was a joke. Good to know.

For some reason the Orient watches just seem like they take too much influence from more legit brands. Nothing real original from them. This is obviously coming from a noob with a Seiko 5 so Correct me if I'm wrong.

Who makes a good wind-up clock anymore lads

>>13563881
ISO is not a joke. He is only claiming it is a joke because the only sub $500 mechanical watches built and tested to ISO standards are Seikos, and he hates Seiko.

You can read the ISO dive watch standards requirements here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Resistant_mark#ISO_6425_divers'_watches standard

Note that the standard requires every watch to be pressure tested at the factory while non ISO divers are not individually tested. If you plan to take a non-ISO dive watch diving, please have it pressure tested by a watchmaker first.

Also note thar Alex at Artifice Horoworks re pressure tests every modified SKX he sells before sending it to the customer.

There's always Citizen who are very fond of their titanium

>>13563907
I thought Citizen stopped making all their mechanical ISO diver models?

>>13563895
>he hates Seiko
I don't. I own a 1970 TV-shaped one, it's a DX 6106.
>the only sub $500 mechanical watches built and tested to ISO standards are Seikos
There's the Citizen NY0040 and other models

>>13563841
Why is Seiko such a popular brand here when they do so much in the budget/poorfag price range?

Unless someone who knows watches see it they’re gonna assume it’s a 150 dollar or less watch like most Seikos

I caved in and bought this guy used for $750, did I do good /fa/?

>>13563895
Actually the chinkshit rotary I put the image of up earlier is ISO certified. You realise ISO certification has hundreds of different ISO codes for different applications.

>>13563916
because their movements are better quality than most swatches

How do you like my new watch /wt/? It even came with a sweet extra velcro strap!

>>13563908
Strangely, i can still find them new on Amazon.it

is this effay? mine is in slightly worse shape

>>13563918
yes

>>13563909
>I don't. I own a 1970 TV-shaped one, it's a DX 6106.
I was confusing you for the other guy that always raged about how ISO 6425 was bullshit because he hated Seiko, sorry.

>There's the Citizen NY0040 and other models
The NY0040 and all other Citizen mechanical ISO divers are discontinued, as far as I know.

>>13563922
>You realise ISO certification has hundreds of different ISO codes for different applications.
We're obviously talking about ISO 6425.

>>13563933
Weird. They've been sold out on all the English language sites I've checked for some time now.

>>13563934
That's a great watch.

>>13563930
Enjoy it, my friend.
It’s a fun watch for summer.

>>13563939
I'm looking into getting a black one if the price doesn't get too high so I have a day time watch and a night time watch

one of mine

>>13563945
Hand pictures always trigger my holephobia.

>>13563916
>caring what other people think
They make quality products at reasonable price points. If you care so much what 'someone who doesn't know watches' thinks then just buy Rolex.

>>13563962
>he pretends not caring what other people thinks about the watch he wears
Yeah right. Even if you don't, 99,999% of all other people do.

>>13563972

heh, good b8 man

>>13563957
that is a big marshmallow, not a hand

I have few batteryless quartz shitters how do I know what kind of battery should I put in? shit

>>13563980
Ironically people who are young believes that to be mature they have to not care about what other people think, which is why some kids go out of their way to do weird stuff that nobody else does. When people actually grow up they start realizing that the adult life is more about fitting in than childhood ever was. This doesn't really relate so much to which watch you're wearing, but I'm detecting a young mind here I think, who hasn't discovered yet how important it is to fit in to your social community.

>>13564018
Not him, but I cannot image how soul crushing it must be to be burdened with this much social conformism, to live your ever waking moment interrogating your every desire for how much social approval it will net you. Sad.

>>13563938
>Weird.
These watches has been used by the italian Navy Seals(Marina Militare) and are pretty popular in italian forums. Maybe it's for this reason some local dealers bought NOS to meet the demand.

Honestly, people who buy watches based on what they think other people will think about them are so strange to me. In Canada I've literally never had someone who wasn't already a friend or a watchmaker or salesperson at an AD notice or care what watch I was wearing.

Like, even if I did care what other people thought, that would play no part in what watches I buy because normies here don't notice them anyway.

>>13564040
Now I wonder if Citizen is still making them for that market, or if it's existing stock being sold there?

>>13564048
I don't know. On the italian Citizen's website it isn't marked as sold out or something (http://www.citizen.it/collezione/promaster/promaster-diver/ny0040/ny0040-09e)) but on the USA one it isn't listed anymore.

>>13564045
Well that’s in the real world.
We’re in a cesspool of autism and elitists who think they have the best taste in every decision they make.

I personally stay here for the ambiance and occasional keks.

>>13564037
Nobody is "living every waking moment interrogating their every desire for how much social approval it will net", but there is a fair amount of fitting in that's happening in almost all adult lives. Most happens kinda unconsciously but if you can self reflect you will see how much you are part of a game of social approval.
You can see something related in here too honestly.
In a thread like this there is a certain culture too, in which I see a lot of sheeps and a lot of "correct" and "incorrect" opinions to have about this or that brand or model of watch. I bet the top 15 most regular posters have almost the same set of opinions of most watches, because they have been posting their opinions about them for a long time and they have become insync with each other.

>>13564018
>When people actually grow up they start realizing that the adult life is more about fitting in than childhood ever was.
Jesus how embarrassing. I bet you’re 25.
I’m 37 and that’s not what happens at all.

>>13564071
Yes it is. You're just a 37 year old loser who aren't social enough to know what I'm talking about is the reality. Perhaps it's time to figure out that you're at least 10 years too old for 4chan.

>>13564079
Oh no I guess I’ll leave now.
A 25 years old conformist is mean to me.

>>13563793
Vostok amphibia
Orient mako/ray 2

Then there's kind of a void until you hit steinhart

russian watches are pure shit

>>13564079
This is essentially an admission that he was right about you being a young social conformist pathetically bending your personality into knots to avoid the risk of social disapproval.

Also, I was on this website when you were in elementary school, and I'll still be here long after you have left to focus on more socially approved pursuits.

>>13564104
Russian watches are fun, and cheap enough not to mind the QC issues.

>>13564108
TRASH

>>13564108
Are you the dude with the Rolex?
Post full collection pls

>>13564018
>buy watches based on what I like, don't care about others' opinions
>u r immature
clever

>>13564104
God I hate gingers so much.

>>13564004
use google

>>13561707
this isn't fooling anyone. i mean if youre going fake rolex go something like an oyster day date not a high end yachtmaster.

the band is disgusting, the bezel is off centre and and the engraving is visibly low quality. Seriously don't wear it out.

>>13561863
looking to get the ocean 1 39, whats the qc like ive heard good and bad?

Judging from the collections in here, most of us are fairly early in the stages of our collection.
So far I own a Seiko SKX007J,
Orient Bambino FAC00004B0 (on bond seatbelt strap),
a Seiko 5 SNKL23,
about 5 vintage Seiko 5's from India on ebay ( would not recommend I bought these very early in collection and they were all mostly awful quality, search frankenstein watches)
a Dan Henry 1970 black dial (would and wouldn't recommend these, great if you know some vintage pieces but they are nice chinese models but feels a little off as a brand.
and finally the most expensive watch I bought but not my favourite is the classic moonphase by frederique constant.

I'm saving towards a steinhart schwarz 39, a motm omega and in future would look to get a black bay tudor and a cartier tank

See the problem is because my knowledge is in such infancy I feel these are pretty basic directions to go with collecting and want to learn more but for example a vintage Laurel or Seamaster or the omega Le Magique but idk. if anyone on here knows their shit please link me any credible sources for interesting watch brands that haven't reached me.

and don't link TVG or Archie or the fat fucking frederique or the absolute waste of a person theo and harris, I'm aware of their good and bad contributions.

Also AMA idk I like watches.

>>13564118
This is an old collection pic, but has my 16233 DJ in it.

>>13564138
Get one of these and read it.

Alternatively, since that's not actually a real suggestion, ask specific questions and learn to distinguish anons who know what they're talking about from those who don't.

In the meantime consider reading more on vintage longines and Tissot.

>>13564150
could i grab a reference or link for that book, I'm currently looking for work at an omega retailer.

>>13564141
Was the Casio [1,5] really in Casino Royal?
I don’t remember the scene.

I remember the Omega though.

>>13564161
https://www.amazon.com/OMEGA-Journey-through-Marco-Richon/dp/B001E90EJI
A Journey Through Time
You can find it occasionally on ebay

>>13564161
It's Omega's A Journey Through Time. It was a limited run book from around 2008 iirc. I got mine on eBay for about $400-500. They show up on eBay fairly regularly but they are pricey.

>>13564173
Yeah for the quality of the paper, the craftsmanship of the binding and the heritage of the brand I know.

>>13564173
that's really interesting I had no idea the magique was part of a series. I mean 500 for me is still a chip into the savings and with buying new suits and sorting out the first home it's a bit much but I'm already hooked so thank you,

Fucking love that digital Seiko

>>13564135
It's for the Pepsi watch b, it's a 'no internet record'-tier shitter but I want it running

>>13563667
>You all have the same watches.
I think I'm the only one with a beaten finish, steel cased, LED Macy's women's digital watch from the 70s. So go fuck yourself cunt.

>>13563790
Or Buzz Aldrin

>>13564163
No, some people say it looks like the Seiko G757 from Octopussy. They're wrong. But because of that it gets called the Casio Royale, similar to Casino Royale.

>>13564273
Lawd jesus Buzz's swag is fatal

>>13564273
>2 watches on one band
>man on the fucking moon on the other wrist

glorious. sharpest man on /fa/ ever

>>13564273
That's three watches. Immense.

>>13563667
No one else got wrist game like me.

>>13564263
You are not the only 70s led watch owner though.

>>13564283
Ohhhh
You just saved me 30 dollaridoos, friend.

>>13563667
Nobody else got a 90s Fanta watch.

>>13562457

not everyone can be poor, anon

Why are most digital watches plastic? I'm guessing it's a cheap technology so they wanted to maximize the cheapness. Still kind of weird that there are so few analogs of plastic and so few digitals with stainless steel, mineral or sapphire crystal and leather strap or metal bracelet.

>>13564273
or Nick Hayek (CEO of Swatch Group)

>>13564379
Because people think digitals are for nerds or poor people, when in reality it is the optimal watch technology.

That feel when you spend half your life to GMT so it’s pointless to own a GMT watch...

>>13563790
Or TGV

>>13564273
Or me when I’m trying to wind my automatic watch that I’m not wearing that day. Never out of the house though.

Thoughts on this?

>>13564418
Looks cool but I hate PVD. It’s too easily damaged.

Hey /wt/ can anyone recommend any good pulsometers for under 1000.

>>13564418
>shitter

>>13564471
Finding a 5s21-7a10 is very difficult but you can sometimes find a 5s21-0a10 or -8a19.

>>13561707
Crown printing is disgusting , bracelet is not the proper one.

Anyone own a tiger concept?
The v5 and v6 seem pretty good for a $240 Miyota 9015 watch

Omega Seamaster cal. 1120 or pic related? Money's not really part of the decision

>>13564736
