Why not this as daily watch?

>>13798382
Looks like an /homage/ to JLC.
Why not just get a JLC?

hey, I wanna get a nice watch for 180 euros for a buddy for his bachelor party. I realise that 180 euros won't buy much, but what would be your choice in that price point? It needs to look good and not be made of shit.

Also, it's gotta come with a brown leather strap out of the box (not my condition, I realise it's retarded).

Thanks a million guys.

>>13798406
Orient Bambino.

>>13798360
>tfw spent almost 400 € this month on watches, mostly on old slavshit

Daily boi.

>>13798410
Don't fall for the Orient meme.

>>13798418
Thats sick af

>>13798422
whats wrong with it? i have one that is pretty nice for the price. scratched easily though

>>13798410
That thing is fucking pretty for the price

What's the consensus on Casio Edifice?

>>13798467
They are okay, a bit bulky for wristlets though.

>>13798403
What JLC? I like the Master Control date, but they dont look too similar irl. The Tudor is much shinier.

good combo for a beater??

>>13798410
Based and redpilled

>>13798410
Open Heart for extra kewl factor

>broo this watch is so keeewl i can totally see the thingy inside! thanks bro!!

>>13798492
Quite so.

>>13798492
A great choice. That's basically my daily wearer

>>13798550
>>13798533
Do you think the more utilitarian SNK807 would be a better choice? All I know is I want a cheap, sturdy blue watch with a brown strap to match my boots. I think I'd be tempted to keep the 807 on the canvas strap. Do they look good on leather?

>>13798572
I'm open to any Seiko 5 really. Looking now I didn't realize there were so many choices

Have they invented effay fitbits yet?

>>13798410
What's the best looking version /wt/?

Want some opinions on G-Shock DW5600E-1V vs Ironman T5K1959J. Might just end up buying both, but would like to hear any experiences you guys have with them

>>13798656
Version 2 imo.

>>13798666
That's what I was thinking, was just worried it looks a bit too old style. I really dig the one with the yellowish dial and blue hands tho...

>>13798674
I also like that one best.

>>13798422
Okay this is friggin cute

>>13798674
White dial with blue hands patrician af

>>13798756
W2C (1,2) & (4,2)?

>>13798441
It's a fucking great watch for the price.
I've gotten more compliments on it than watches 5 and 6 times more expensive.
>>13798656
I don't think you can beat cream with blue hands.

>>13798793
>aayyy bro nice fairy on ur watch LOL

Hi /wt/

>>13798656
Fifth generation or the small seconds
Don't@me

Got this little 1968 Tudor for my gf. First year of the shield logo and back when the crown and case still said Rolex. Lovin it

>>13798922
>Giving a gf anything like that
She wont value it as much as a Michael Kors watch, retard

>>13798769
If I'm following your coordinates, which I might not be because they are the two people usually hate.

It's an orient esteem (gen 1, there is a gen 2 now, there is also open heart bambinos now). Cheapest place to cop that specific one is amazon for 143.

The other is a GA-400CM-1A , came out this year. I paid 98, cheapest I saw it on ebay right now is 115, just check seller ratings.

>>13798994
yeah i was hoping that was a typo

Yeah you're not wrong. I got a good deal on it and wanted to get her something nice and permanent. It's basically a small investment she wears around. She cares for it well so I'm not worried.

Why do you follow the vids of a guy who isn't even a watch expert/enthusiast?

He's literally the boomer meme personified

>>13799257
Because he got a good life?

>>13799260
Yep

>>13799270
What a vapid meme.

>>13798572
I have an snk807, it is a great watch, little on the small side but if you're a wristlet like me it's a non issue. The canvas strap it comes with is absolute trash though

>>13799278
You are the boomer

How do you tell apart a woman watch to a man watch?

what riveted leather watch band would you recommend for my tisell 40mm pilot?

Explorer on perlon? Y/n?

>>13799491
Why not. Not the best looking combo imo, but its ok.

>>13799497
Better or worse?

>>13799468
Toss that shit. Muh ebin nutzee flight watches look dumb, as do the pricks who wear them.

>>13799239
This guy has one of the weirdest youtube channels around.

>>13798572
I personally prefer the more utilitarian face of the SNK809 (which i have) and they come in several colours. If i'm wearing a watch daily i want it to be clear and easy to read, have luminous hands and have a date and day indicator. I really like the hour within minute layout because you can read it at a glance.

>>13799498
I like it

Fuck /wt/, customs has been fucking around with my wreck Omega for 17 days now. Today they'll MAYBE let it move forward from the customs warehouse.

>>13799498
you ever consider the metal bracelets these watches came one?

>>13799239
"For those of you that went to public schools, (in) the last forty years. Take your time with this. Write some of these numbers down but take your time. But I am going to try to be pretty clear."

>>13799598
I find that the explorer on the steel bracelet makes the watch look very boring and unremarkable. I find it looks better and more rugged on leather or other strap.

>>13799606

>>13799420
look for the penis

So I live in a town that used to produce some pretty nice watches 100 years ago and they're still fairly easy to find online

You think I could buy cheaper ones online and try to flip them to local boomers for a few hundred bucks more than I bought them for? Own a piece of local history! no lowballers etc etc. It would be nice to turn this hobby into a side hustle

>>13799667

Just try it, man. You'll need to take risks if you want to hustle.

>>13799606

Looks good on perlon, just wear it behind the knob on your wrist, though.
Looks good on steel or leather, too. Nato can be cool, depends on your outfit and if you're not a bitch trying to look ruggeed, I suppose.

>>13799716
Yeah you're right. Alright I'll give it a shot. There's one for $300 I've been eyeballing, if I can flip it for $500 that would be more than worth my time.

>>13799587
That shit is so ugly they probably think it's some Franken counterfeit.

>>13799603
Absolutely based

>>13799727
How are you buying them?

Tissel Pilots for everyday wear?
Does strap color even matter?

>>13798492
I basically daily wear this exact set up. Clean and classic

>>13799795
Why are there more and more people in these generals spending 200-400 of shit korean watches
Fuck me I'd rather buy an Orient

>>13799803
FNG here, give me an alternative that doesn't require me to sell my organs to said koreans.

>>13799491
Not a great combo, but better than plebbit tier natos. If you want it to be something truly different, throw it on a milanese/mesh strap for that tru 70s vibe

>>13798492
That's a Seiko 5 SNK793 correct?

>>13799819
That would be pretty mental. I can’t find one picture of an explorer on Milanese in google.

>>13799813
Watch Gecko sell both type a & b fleigers for a similar price with an ETA 2824.
Here's a pic of the type a

>>13799813
>>13799844
Here's the type b
Both are 40mm diameter I think.

I love these 80s chrono seikos so much. I wish they weren’t so expensive.

>>13799844
>>13799848
Thanks. Those look pretty similiar. Better looking straps IMO.
The problem with Tissel seems to be quality?

>>13799844
>>13799848
Checked prices though. Similiar price range? They are about twice the price of the Tissel watches.

Thoughts on Sternglas watches?

>>13799860
tissell in general as decent qc
and even if it fucks up, you can send it back for repairs paying only the cost of shipping to korea

>>13799870
Nice dinner plate

>>13799867
Oh I thought they were similar, I guess the 3-400 you put was $ not £ then?

>>13799533

He's the Hula girl guy right? A real prince..

>>13799870
Nice DW homage.

>>13799887
Cheapeat Tissel goes for 241 Euros or around 2.500 SEK.
Cheapest Gecko 505 Euros or around 5.200 SEK.
I'm wondering which is better? They look about the same and I could just wait one month and buy the more expensive one.

>>13799870

Braun is less expensive and has more Bauhaus heritage. Make of that what you will..

>>13799606
Looks way better on a bracelet desu.

>>13799907
The Watch Gecko has a 2824 over the Tissell's Miyota, it also has one of their leather straps which are usually pretty good quality.
It's up to you but I'd probably get the more expensive option.

>>13799923
I'll wait till next month then. Thanks for the help anon.

36mm Fliegers are better for wrists smaller than 8 inches.

Is it pleb tier?

>>13799813
Just wouldn't spend 400+ on some Korean thing using a Miyota
Might as well buy this for rmuch less or save a little more because I'd hate to spend 400 hard earned bills on a korean watch

What watch should I cop if I'm aiming for a sleaze-core fit? Something affordable, preferably.

>>13800026
Nice collection of shitters anon, here's mine.

>>13800054
It's a shitter, but fine as a beater or if you're young and don't have a lot of money.

>>13800054
No

>>13800086
I don't know why you think you need a watch for sleaze

>>13800086
Anything gold tone
A fake rolex or casio aq230 would be perfect

>>13800103
Because I like wearing a watch.

Hey watch thread senpai
I got a somewhat of a weird question:
What would be the best gold / gold tone lcd digital dress watch?

>>13800122
If you're going to get an all gold seiko 5 get this one: https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNKK52-Automatic-Gold-Tone-Stainless/dp/B004MB1JMG/ref=swr_wa_1_swr

Customer argued with me over a $1.75 repair job that didn't work out. Basically I fixed the mangled hands on her wall clock, and removed the seconds hand as it pivot was deformed, and obstructing the movement. I did this so maybe she won't have to spend $25 on a movement swap, but it didn't work out and the movement jammed up again a few days later. Basically she sperged out about having to pay $1.75 for "nothing" (for starters, other watchniggers won't even look at it for less than $7).

Fuck that old cunt, and fuck trying to help people.

>>13800146
Don't give up

>>13799606
Beige perlon is the way man.

>>13800064
Those are really cheap. And they look the part aswell.
How is the quality of those watches?

>>13800094
shitters rise up

I copped a fake rolex milgauss about 6 months ago and nobody (even the snobs i work with) can tell. Why doesnt everyone just cop clones?

>>13800204
We must seize the means of shitter production comrades

>>13800225
Modern replicas are incredible until you get the back off.
The quality is astounding.

>>13800128
This is the best one. High-frequency megahertz-range AT-cut quartz crystal.

>>13800225
Fuck you

>>13800248
How about one that you can actually buy?

>>13800263
There are none; no one today makes LCD watches with any particular technical merit. Just get whatever is cheap I guess.

>>13800128
>>13800095
His one is nice.

>>13800235
i havent taken it apart yet but it's amazing >>13800258
jealous m8?

>>13800269
Yeah, but I was looking for an effay lcd dress watch, not a technological marvel

>>13800272
I think you're a retard for buying fake, so no.

>>13800054
Damn you make it look big

>>13798492
I have the exact same watch, should I get a brown or black leather strap?

>>13800298
Just type in gold casio into amazon and pick your favorite f4m

>>13800316
Maybe this is autistic but I almost always pair blue with brown

>>13800185
I doubt they're any worse than Tisell.
I'm not saying you should only buy a very expensive watch but I don't like to see people pay 500 or whatever for something no better and honestly worse than a Citizen
If you definitely want to spend 500 or so then I'd buy this instead
https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/flieger-watch.html
In the 400 range and far superior to Tisell

>>13800323
I'd rather have something that is of high quality. Way I see it I spend a lot of money either way.

Steinhart compared to GeckoWatch is cheaper for the models I've been looking at. Which is fine by me.

>>13800086
Early LED watch with gold plating partially chipped off or an obviously fake Rolex

How much do you need to wear an automatic to keep it going for the next 24h? I was thinking of getting an automatic but am restricted to wearing a g-shock for work Monday through Friday and I don't want to have to set it all the time. Would wearing it an hour or so each evening charge it enough to keep it running continously until the weekend where I'll be wearing it day and night?

>>13801187
>what is a winder?

>>13801191
I don't want a winder for several reason.
1. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a quiet and good winder.
2. I identify myself with the "winders damage the movement" camp
3. I figure wearing the watch for an hour or two is less of a hassle then fiddling with the winder

Would you care to answer my original question if you know the answer or are you just going to be condescending and sassy?

>>13801285
>are you just going to be condescending and sassy
yes

Let's be honest with each other senpia, there is a lot of factors which we don't know. Like what's the power reserve of the watch we are talking about, and how "actively" would you wear it in that one hour each night. Shaking it for a few minutes would also be an option and it would be more effective than you walking with it. Also what if it had hand wind? See. It's not a question that has an exact answer.

>>13801294
Thanks for a more serious reply. The power reserve is 40h and I was mostly wondering if there are any general guidelines as to how long it takes to fully charge the reserve. I used to shake an old Seiko 5 I had to keep it going between usage but stopped doing so after reading that the shaking is bad for the movement.

>>13801298
>shaking is bad for the movement

Fuck I do this. I don't really shake it but I rotate it quickly so it winds, does that also do damage? More of a clockwise rotating in small circles

The Seiko Shuffle™ is not harmful to the movement #fakenews

>>13801305
I can't provide any proof but I've read comments from prominent watch forum users claiming that it can damage the watch (or I guess it perhaps mostly damages the rotor itself).

>>13801298
Well the mere existence of the movement isn't good for it either. Abrasion is a thing. If you don't shake it like a gorilla it's fine. Also you you shouldn't really gorilla shake it anyways because shocks are really not good for accuracy.

To give you some numbers, about 2-5 minutes of light shaking/rotating would be enough to fill up the reserve.

>>13801298
After more consideration there actually should be some info out there somewhere. There are after all watches with a power reserve meter and it should be fairly simple to make a guesstimate based on that even though they aren't exactly super common.

>>13801315

I just don't get how a shitter can get so much love from idiots here. What's the appeal? It's so fucking ugly and cheap, it's the kind of watch you give to a child. It's a toy.

Can I get a rec for a 40mm or under diver with a stainless steel non coated bezel?

>>13801418
I like having one good watch and then having a small collection of shitters. You can wear the shitters when you're going out and getting piss drunk and not have to worry about them getting stolen or breaking them. You can just get a new one because they're dirt cheap.

>>13801418
shitters are unironically based. they arent ugly, timex and casio have designs that have held up for decades. by contrast fossil also makes shitters but their designs age poorly. its like asking why people like german army trainers or a pair of black lug sole derbies. i agree with >>13801559 about the utility of shitters but i think the design is good as well

>>13802076

>>13802077
No I bought it from Macys, they gave me 15% off and an extra $100 for using a macys card.

good choice on the speedmaster, Im hoping to pick one of those up in the next year or 2

Question to those who aren't poor and can afford Rolex without ruining their finances. Are you holding off on purchasing one or another one? I paid a bit less than retail for a new Explorer II in 2016 and I have seen prices go insane on subs and GMTs. Morons are paying 15k for the new Pepsi on a jubilee. I've seen people buy new Sub w/date for 11k when my local AD said if I want to wait a month or two he can get me one for bang on retail of 8100 with no tax if I pay cash. The Pepsi too if I want to wait.

So my question is, should I stop buying watches for a year or two and wait for the panic sales with an eventually over saturated market? I am doing the same with purchasing a new home. I don't currently own and know that in New York the prices cannot be sustained with current wages. We will get an economic downturn in the next few years, especially in burger land becuase everyone will overreact to whichever party wins this November and in 2020.

Some boomer on his youtube channel was getting hammered for this by pajeets and persians becuase they don't want to beleive they over paid for their sub.

Also watches lose value slower than cars so financially it makes sense too.

My run-down quartz Memega Semenmaster Pre-Bland is like finally at the post office, like 20 meters from me. I should pick it up, but it's the fucking 30th of the month, and I'm probably too broke to pay for customs. Fuck.

What's more enraging is that this was supposed to be EMS, fucking 3 days from Japan, but customs sat on it for about twenty days. Fucking government pirate bastards.

I know my country is a poorfag country, but whenever a customer says a $7 retail leather strap is "way too expensive", I can't help but look at them in contempt. At that moment they're dead to me. Goodbye, you prole!

Credor uses the same movements as Grand Seiko, but they're not as boring as Grand Seikos. They use rarer metals and materials and their designs are more out there.

>>13802352
It’s not a shit bucket. I live in a city centre which means the chance of my car getting damaged is high and means that I need a small car so I can park easily.
U.K. is very different than USA in that regard. I lived without a car for two years before buying my Toyota and it’s nicer than a lot of cars in the road over here. Our cars last a lot longer in Europe.

What do you think of this watch?

>>13802439
Did you try the First Omega in Space? That works better on small wrists and isn’t a shitter like the reduced.

>>13802441

>>13802413
It's not even my watch. I just find the attitude that you need to drive a nice car to buy a nice watch incredibly douchey. I know this is /fa/ but come on. A new car hemorrhages value while he could sell the watch for likely close to what he bought it for whenever he wants.

Exactly. My original budget was £5k but instead spent £2k on the car and £2.5k on the watch. In 5, 10, 15 years I’ll be very happy I did.

There is this brand Leijona in my country that used to import swiss watches and sell them under their brand, nowadays they import chinese made quartz watches, but people still believe them to be quality because it's a domestic company.
This is one of their newest models:
Rate and laugh at it.

>>13802146
England is a shit place to drive a car in, you don't really want to go over a 10k buy
I think mine is like 3k

>>13802420
>watch that 'first man' movie
>this watch is clearly visible in every single fucking shot
Is the speed master a marketing meme?

>>13802297
the Anno Domini, a limited edition of 999 pieces from 2000. a nos one in its giant wooden case was up on auction about a year ago, I'm still haunted by not winning the bid.

>>13802528
no

should i go for a submariner or a yatch master? also like the sky dweller but im not sure if its good quality or not

>>13802495
Good Christ that date wheel printing

>>13802543
the yacht master and the sky dweller are the most hideous pleb tier watches Rolex has ever made in the entire history of the companies existence.

>>13802554
>Air King

Good morning wt

>>13802557
the new air king and new milgaus are ugly but id rather wear those than the fucking yachmaster or sky dweller.


anyway get the new gmt master II

>>13802532
Is it a real perpetual calendar?

>>13802297

I like their chronographs with 0510 movements. Decent quality at great price, and great variety of models. (shitter tier)

>>13802297
leopard 36,000 bph

>>13802543
if you don't like the gmt master II or the sub and your wrists are 9 inches in circumference you can get the SBGH255G

>>13802528
Unlike Rolex, they will provide free watches and help finance projects that feature them

>>13802297
Citizen Crystron 4 mega 8650
Citizen glorious
Citizen 8810 high-beat quartz
Citizen chronomaster with paper dial

>>13802566
Supposedly it is, but I don't know for sure. I'll... I'll never know for sure...

>>13802578
Why's that? Because you missed out on your only change to ever own one?

>>13802583
One will surely turn up with time, I just have to be patient

why the FUCK don't casio/timex make their metal digital watches entirely out of stainless steel rather than plating the watchface with fake silver/gold alloys >:(

I love my casio world time but the fucking silver coating started peeling off so quickly, had it for years and on the face you can see the copper / resin coating peering through >:(

>we want the vincero audience

>>13802145
If you really want the Pepsi or a new Sub then simply wait. The people paying 200% over RRP for the newest GMT either have so much money it makes no difference to them or they are idiots.

The demand for certain watches right now isn't sustainable. Just look at the Nautilus, it's *cheaper* to buy a yellow or rose gold Nautilus on the grey market compared to the steel version.

>>13802627
I didn't mean a literal gold alloy I meant goldlike/ silverlike cheap alloys

>>13802634
I feel you bro. I know when I’m getting depressed because I constantly browse the internet for new watches.

>>13802613
Why don’t you try not being an idiot and get yourself a real steel Casio?

>>13802656
literally where do I cop this - closest thing I've ever had to a grail, didn't even know it was possible to buy, W2C???

>>13802660
Might as well get a silver dial Seiko if you are going for a stainless steel lcd watch

>>13802660
I bought one on eBay for 30 quid but just sold it for 50 :^)

This is the W-38. Funnily enough the best way to find these is to search for “digital Casio” and set condition to used. Seeing as the modern Casio’s are disposable, a large proportion will be vintage ones.
Also try it with Seiko although these are a bit more expensive. And try citizen and Lorus.

are stuhrling watches any good? i don't know shit about watches but my uncle regifted one to me

>>13802675
Wow a twenty dollar profit. And all it costed was a few hours of work. Nice brag champ

>>13802554
is it the dials? its the dials isnt it. i like the sky dwellers one

>>13802572
>cloister black
yeah nah

>>13802554

>>13802677
Does it matter?
If it's a hobby and you enjoy it and flip interesting shitters on the side trying them out first and then selling them for a small profit. What's wrong with that?

>>13802676
It's a gift so fuck you and just wear it..
In good health.

>>13802683
i just threw up but i still stand by my statement

>>13802677
That’d be 20 of the Queen’s sterling, old chap.
25.50 of your shitty dollars.

>>13802650
Yeah, I swore off buying till like next spring, but knowing that I have no more packages incoming is already giving me anxiety.

>>13802668
Beep beep goat coming through

>>13802696
These are ok, but no 24h time which sucks

Okay, so here it is. It's really not as bad irl as in the seller's pics. Of course the finely ghosted bezel is scratched up, but I'm not even sure if it should be replaced. I'd replace it with and aftermarket new one, but I'm not sure if I'll be flipping it after restoration or not. Also the bezel right now is bidirectional, gotta find out what's wrong with it.

bought this at least 35 years old plastic body slav shitter for about 10 burgerbucks with shipping. It amazes me how accurate and how well it runs.

>>13802709
Also so far the things I noticed:
>it's smoll. 36mm on a diver, that's also integrated-bracelet in not very much
>so far it's comfy, but I might need another link. The integrated bracelet helps a lot with comf
>the movement has a separately adjustable hour hand, like on a GMT watch. I guess they did this, because the movement is probably real accurate (ETA quartz movements generally are pretty high grade)
>crown threading is intact
>lume is near-dead, but otherwise not bad, but the lume on the hands is clearly "moldy". I still don't know if I want to relume it
>sapphire crystal only has a few very thin scuffs, almost unnoticeable without magnification. Though they might just be some crap stuck on either the outside or inside of the crystal

Also messy workbench. All in all there are a a few things to repair, but this old post-quartz shitter has the potential to look great.

>>13798360

What's with all the love for the digital casios. I buy shitty illuminators as a beater for work they usually last me 3-6 months.

>>13802724
Movement is flawless, and the gasket is fresh and lubricated.

>>13802730
It's almost like people like different things

>>13802736
However crown and pendant tube gaskets might use a replacing.

Also someone serviced this in '97. There's also some other service marking scratched in, but I can't make that out.

>>13802737
no that doesn't sound right

Post watches from calculator brands
(Casio doesnt count)

Seiko 5's have ruined that form of day-date complication for me forever. I look at it and no matter what watch it's on, all I see is the cheapest available seiko.
Very nice otherwise though, anon. Love the hands/dial.

>>13798406
this desu >>13798410
best in it's price range

>talking with two roasters today about watches
>they started to justify purchasing fakes as it means you get the watch and spare money

Why are women so stupid?

>>13803109
It's not only womny, incel-kun.
>it's made in the same factory in China anyway
This is literally what fakefags think.

>>13803109
They have a point. You get all the aesthetics and social benefits without spending thousands. What’s not to like?

>>13803123
And you get to be pathetic

>>13803127
>>13803127
So many try-hard, capitalistcucks in here.
Reps are fantastic. For the price of a service you can get a whole watch that’ll last years.

>>13803161
>>13803161
>For the price of a service you can get a whole watch that’ll last years
Yes and I support that, just not when it's a fake. Pathetic.

>>13803022
SEIKO'D

Is this a good watch?
It has amazing lume, 100m water resistance, day-date complication, stainless steel case.

>>13803282
shitter

>>13798360
just copped a tag

>>13803310
Why?

>>13803161
w2c a decent fake?

I went to try on some watches at my local AD, and I fell in love with this model.

The only problem is, that it's slightly too big for my basedboy arms. Are there any smaller alternatives that look very similar, or is my only option to sign up for a bouldering course and grow bigger forearms?

>>13803326
just buy it and start wanking more

>>13802759
My dark skin brother.

Thoughts on this ETA shitter?

>>13803386
It's great.

>>13802070
Stop talking about shit you know nothing about, Skagen is dogshit quality, made from a dogshit manufacturer with fucking ass shit inside of the case.

Seiko is by far the best watches you can get in the price racket that Skagen is in, fuck i hope you die

>>13803406

>>13803386
Buy a stowa instead

>>13803400
It's so expensive though.

I am considering selling my Tag for it but I'd be swapping an ETA shitter for an ETA shitter.

>>13803316
get rid of the bracelet, in no way matches your tag..

strap suggestion?
no NATO coloured stripes bs pls

>>13803415
Holy fuck is that real

>>13803433
Get a brown leather strap. I got one similar to this:

>>13803415
What is even the point of this..? If you are giving 2-500$ for a watch, why not get great quality instead of shit packed in a plastic box...? Im not in ANY way saying seiko gets close to high-end watches (not talking GS here), but they are infinitely better than Skagen... Fucking coping mong, post your shit Skagen and let us laugh at you.

>>13803115
which is often through for clothes, not for expensive watches though

>>13802437
WHAT FUCKING WATCH
