Oof. So you'll voluntarily admit that Tudor is a "babby Rolex" brand. Not a good look.

Sup turtlebro, I like the strap but it pinches my excess skin (recently lost 75lb). I'm back and forth on it. It's secure and smells good, but it's not as loud and fashionable as the others. What do you boys think?

>>15369870
that case is certainly a choice

>>15369947
not turtlebro

>but it's not as loud and fashionable
why is that a bad thing though, its a tool watch and i think it looks good on a rubber

have you tried a perlon strap? maybe that can be a happy medium

Blue or Green?

>>15370018
I'd go with black, but out of the 2 options you gave I'd say blue.

Thinking of buying a two tone vintage Tudor Prince Oysterdate, part of me really likes it with the linen champagne dial, but part of me is thinking it might look really tacky.

>>15370043
I think it's a good looking watch

>>15370043
you mean this one?
i think it looks great

whats it with watch reviewers not wearing watches properly?

ive seen it a few times already

its their one sole job
this is from ablogtowatch btw

>>15370013
I don't know exactly. I'm young and brash and the samuari reflected that, but the strap mutes that. It might be good for muting it at the office but it's not expressive.

>>15369947
I'm here. I think it looks excellent with that strap. I don't like anything too flashy, personally.

there’s actually 3 now, with the third being on /g/.

>>15370077
Maybe they're not allowed to resize the bracelet so have to wear it funny so it still looks ok on the wrist?

>>15370077
are you the guy that wears his watch halfway up to his elbow and says everyone else is wearing theirs wrong?

>>15370094
maybe its that but its annoying as not getting the real look of how it'll wear on the wrist

>>15370095
are you the guy who wears it like a zoomer who has no idea of anything with the strap looking like its going to snap at any moment and have crown depression marks all over the top of your wrist?

the red colorway caught my eye a few weeks back, but i'm hesitant to take the microbrand-pill

>>15370094
It's probably that, not annoying at all if the reviewer holds the band with a hand, but there are stupid people who try to wear the watch with the loose bracelet or even just holding the arm into the air with the watch on top.

>>15370221
You know, the wrist have a bone, you put the watch above that bone, and the watch won't reach your hand ever because the bone is there holding the watch.

>>15370221
tighten the strap up like a man, pussy

>>15370234
>>You know, the wrist have a bone, you put the watch above that bone, and the watch won't reach your hand ever because the bone is there holding the watch.
It's clearly right on the bone for that guy dude.

And that just seems uncomfortable as fuck, where is your wrist bone? Mine is very high compared to the actual wrist, if I put it above that, it would be literally halfway to my elbow.

>>15370234
I like a loose bracelet and I WONT let you shame me for it, nerd

>>15370238
>where is your wrist bone? Mine is very high compared to the actual wrist, if I put it above that, it would be literally halfway to my elbow
ah, I see. you're retarded.

>>15370238
>it would be literally halfway to my elbow.
how is that even possible lmao

are you an ayyylmao, kek

the bump is the end of your ulna bone, oic related

>>15370251
I have like 2-3 inches between that bone and where my actual hand starts. Looks gay as fuck if I wear it above.

>>15370254
>have like 2-3 inches between that bone and where my actual hand starts
lmao post your freak arm now

>>15370251
I wear my watch right on that bump, it makes a nice flat spot for the back of the watch to sit on

hot take: wristlets shouldn't wear dive watches

>>15370312
no one should wear divers

>>15370043
I prefer the 50s models in these and most other brands, but sounds like a good watch nonetheless.

>>15370321
what about scuba divers?

>>15370341
yes actual divers can wear them i guess

i hate diver watches so much theyre so fucking ugly

>>15370345
if you think this is ugly you're objectively wrong

what are some nice pilot watches that aren’t overpriced? Could easily wear a 46mm watch

I want this one but can't find a dial that has a champagne colour.
Not like yellow af gold.

So are we /g/ or /fa/ now?

Diamonds.

Can someone set me straight with servicing costs and requirements.

I was just at the local watchmaker who does a lot of warranty work for the big brands in my city. At the service centre the guy had a good chat to me because he was amazed a young guy was into automatic watches (im 30)

He then proceded to have a good whinge to me that people dont service their watches when they realise the cost and complexity of them. He suggested never to get anything omega (due to parts being hard to source and expensive) tag (because they are just rubbish and expensive to service) and pretty much had similar things to say about every brand. They essentially are running him out of business since the newer models have to be shipped away to get any warranty work done on them.

I really want to get a GS automatic and he told me its just going to need to be serviced quite often due to it being 36000 bps.

Are expensive watches worth it? How much are you guys spending on servicing and how often? Ive had mine for 2 years and have had to get it regulated and a small warranty repair. Id hate to think what the next few years will bring.

Should I get a SEIKO to use as a beater?

>>15371095
>man who makes his living off retards getting their watches serviced wishes people came in more often to spend 200 bucks on a lubrication job instead of forcing him to hunt down parts
What a shocker.

He was amazed because most people under 30 have common sense, so they buy quartz. There are a lot of 70s watches that still look good today, but the majority look like total shit. Current standards of what is "beautiful" will look horribly dated in 50 years, so the idea of owning a watch for life is laughable to begin with. Even more laughable when you factor in that service costs over the lifespan of the watch will easily outstrip the cost of the watch if you buy automatics.

If you must own mechanical shitters, at least service them yourself. I have respect for the guy who spends a few grand on tools so he can fix his watch if anything goes wrong, I have no respect for your average auto owning boomer who owns his watch because of the brand label on it.

>>15371095
With modern watches the time before a required service is longer than it used to be due to better materials and more advanced lubrication oils used. Recommended across the industry is now typically every 5 years is the recommended. Recent Rolex models even say only every 10 years is needed. Spread out over that period several hundred bucks doesn't amount to that much. Vintage watches will need to be serviced more often if they are used regularly.

Also some brands are worse than others. The large groups such as Richemont are usually very reasonably priced as they have large service centres to handle all their brands so it's quick and easy to get it serviced. On the other hand a standalone company like AP are known to be really expensive.

>>15371107
I feel like this watch is too nice to be a beater, even if it isn't a luxury watch.
but yeah you should get one anyway, they worth it.

>>15371117
Lubrication jobs are a pain in the ass, and you need elaborate equipment and specific materials (i.e. obscure white lubricants, syringes, tools for measuring out stupidly tiny amounts, and so forth). You should be glad there's professionals willing to do it for relatively little money. Moreover, if it gains or loses less than 60 seconds a week it doesn't need a lube job at all!

>>15371095
If you are worried about service cost you should go for a watch with a Miyota or an ETA movement. The parts and servicing costs are cheap and you can get it serviced pretty much anywhere.

I have a vintage Omega seamaster and I've only had it serviced 1 time in the past 12 years. I can't remember how much I paid but it wasn't that much. I get my automatics serviced every 7 years or so.

>>15371117
This is the dumbest shit I've read in a long time.

>>15371132
Why are tags expensive to service then? My friend spend $800 to get his quartz tag serviced after 2 years. I laughed in his face when he told me that

>>15371152
Your friend got scammed. No way in hell I'm paying 800 to service a quartz, that's why I sent in my watches to a trusted watchmaker for service.

Why do I like Russian shitters so much?

>>15371152
$800 after only 2 years with a quartz? Lol I'd laugh in his face too, that's retarded.

I'm not sure why it would cost him so much, it could be an obscure movement with hard to source parts, or maybe he got hustled by a shady repairman. Regardless it's stupid to get a watched serviced after only 2 years.

>>15370502
nice mallwatch
>intergrated lugs
no!
>>15371152
why did he need to service a quartz after only 2 years, was there something wrong with it?
>>15371159
commie
jking though i like russian (and chang) stuff too

what do y'all think? it's smaller than i thought it'd be

>>15371122
When I say beater, I don't mean use a jackhammer while wearing, or scrape to shit while working under my car, but at least be less afraid to wear than something nicer.

>>15371171
Yeah it looks a bit small, but it looks good.

>>15370956

Is a Tag Heuer Carrera in the same league?
Deterring thing for me is that the reissues use ETA movements

A real man must have 2 watches: one daily beater that's still good looking and from a respectable brand, one very expensive dress watch to wear with suits, and one luxury watch that he bought to celebrate a milestone.

I'm new to watches, whats the difference between integrated and non-integrated lugs/bracelets? Why should I prefer one over the other?

>>15371202
>A real man must
Not be a stupid faggot like you.

>>15371171
You're too fat for that watch. What's the lug to lug width?

>>15371152
That cant be right. I paid 600 bucks to service my mechanical omega after 10 years.

>>15371162
It's a tag Heuer SLR watch. So I think it's one of their limited edition ones and it has those two half dials to look like a car in the front. He bought two of them funikt enough, one for daily and one to keep as a collector.

>>15371202
>cant even count to three

>>15371211
Integrated is a complete pain in the ass, and some smaller lug diameters are effectively integrated, like G-shocks, because you can't wear a 16mm strap on them. You're basically forced to buy straps from the manufacturer, which means spending more money on often inferior quality products.

Regular lugs will fit everything nicely. And plenty of watches with regular lugs have specific bracelets designed for them that fill in the gap, it just means you can also put it on a fabric or leather strap easily.

>>15371220
idk, an inch? you must be joking

>>15371231
How do you not own a ruler, zoom-zoom? Hell, do me a favor right now, and go buy a pair of cheap digital calipers for 2-3 bucks. They'll change your life.

>>15371234
it's about 3.7cm

>>15371240
37mm lug to lug is really small. Honestly verging on a woman's watch, are you sure you didn't buy a woman's watch?

>>15371242
I don't mind, I like it.

>>15371171
its 100% fine but you should wear it further up a bit

>>15371171
Absolute banger. Ignore the jealous fags that don't understand wearing a properly sized watch.

>>15371234
>>15371242
its not you dummy. Men buy stuff like the tudor bb36 or datejust 36 all the time. In ww2 the size of a mens wristwatch was like 32-34mm

>>15371211
integrated is poo tier, its much more of a hassle/limited choices/impossible to change the straps out to a different color, material etc. And depending on the watch you might have to get them from the manufacturer at the costs they quote. theres no real reason why any watch should have intergrated straps, its anti consumer and a pain in the ass

>>15369870
This thread since beginning of FA, always this level of stupidity.

You are <50? Just don't wear this Seiko nonsense. Like 80% of this thread just gets inspired by father stuff. Equivalent of fedora. You are young, wear young designer watches. No, you are not a military pilot, no, you are not 50yo cool farher. You only turnyourself into average tryhard dude. And btw, quartz is really not an issue. Mechanical doesn't equal FA, so the quality of watch doesn't matter in FA. What only matters are the looks. Wake up already, you are young only once.

>>15371276
>please spend $150 on this shit quality MVMT or $300 on this smart""" watch""" like zoomers do

>implying Seiko basic watch is aesthetics
>disregard designer art watch

kek

>>15371290
Pls post some " designer art watches" with good aesthetics my ESL friend.

>>15371276
The die-hard /g/ left overs refuse to acknowledge that watches are primarily a fashion item or status symbol just like any other luxury good. They are expensive toys and no amount of justification can make normal people think otherwise.

>>15371290
so the "art designer" ordered some bottom bin $10 minimalistic watches in china, slapped on some modern art garbage scribbles and sold it to you as a $1200 "limited edition"

got it, kek

>>15371315
I don't think that anyone is deluded enough to think watches are anything but expensive toys. Posters itt just want people to waste their money on well made expensive toys instead of cheap mass produced garbage sold with a 5000% markup.

>>15371301

>eXpLaiN mE FaShiOn
sure, post me photo of you where you wear your shitty Seiko watch and you look /fa/ so we can all laugh to your beta fedora guy standards

>>15371318
I have no idea what you are talking about.

>>15371095
As I'm into vintage watches that invariably need at least a basic service when buying (can't trust most sellers' "just serviced, keeping good time" worth shit, and beat up ones are cheaper anyway), I spent the roughly thecost of one proper service on tools and materials, did some learning, fucked up some worthless junk watches before I got used to it and now do the basic stuff myself.

What’s the best website to buy JDM watches? Seiya? Sakura?

>>15371323
For example this MVMT quartz shitter is $95. It looks like shit, it's proportions are all wrong. It's too big at 41mm for that style of watch. The date window is somehow not aligned with the 6 o'clock marker in their product photo. It has basically no water resistance.

>>15371336
post some designer art watches. We are still waiting

>>15371123
Internet will tell you everything you need in a few hours. You need 2-3 different oils and 1-2 greases (they are expensive if you look at the price per gallon, but 2ml will last you ages). Proper oil needles are $20. White spirit is fine for cleaning. It's really not hard if you want to get into it.

>>15371352
Just did, but since you don't know anything about fashion, you didn't even notice.

>>15371348
This san martin quartz shitter is $99. It has a half decent Ronda movement in it, 200m water resistance. The case is significantly nicer with much better finishing, the lume is higher quality. The 39mm case has much better proportions.
So you are paying the same price fore two very different watches, the MVMT is a watch with $15 of manufacturing cost and the rest is profit, the San Martin is a watch where at least 50% of the price is manufacturing cost and you are getting a lot nore watch for your money.

>>15371254
He should wear it halfway up to his elbow right?

>>15371184
The originals even used the same movements.
Get the 90s reissue, newer ones are larger and shit.

>>15371339
>do the basic stuff

how hard is it and what does it entail? I might do the same in the future (have cheapo watch tools otw) but also feel it needs a high autism level/homework /commitment

>>15371357
literally where you dumbass. that 300px grainy photo where you cant even see what the watch looks like properly?

>>15371290
you are the antithesis of class. enjoy your fashion watches.

>>15371365
yep... and if you are interested in watches, you should already know what I am talking about. You don't, so wear your seiko and stay the loser you are :D At the times when people like seig had to lurk these threads, it was fun, but now, people are sharing their genova soviet times shit tier watch and call it FA because how generic and trash they look like :D You are a joke.

>>15371361
>the San Martin is a watch where at least 50% of the price is manufacturing cost
You're delusional. The MVMT is about 2 dollars worth of value. That San Martin is about 10.

>>15371401
>talking shit about seiko when they almost killed the swiss fags
>advocating fashion quartz shitters and not knowing it was seiko who invented and brought the 1st quartz watches to the market
>talking shit about vintage while also posting a vintage photo implying i really give a shit what gianni wears

go find a rusty screwdriver and poke your eyes out with it, thanks

>>15371401
Is it pulsar? But it also a grandpa watch. Nowadays its overpriced, better buy G.Gerlach Kosmonauta

Are golden watches worth it ? Or are they too niggerish/nouveau-riche ?

Acceptable watches:
>anything Seiko that isn't modern and mid-range
>Ruskie shit if you're trying to be "quirky"
>Casio if you like digital
>vintage shitters

That's it, that's the whole list. There's something mentally wrong with you if you're spending thousands of dollars on a watch.

>>15371365
Disassembly (most tools can be cheap, but I suggest at least getting proper ones for removing the gands, a good movement holder and proper screwdrivers to avoid damaging the sensitive stuff), cleaning (you don't need an ultrasonic cleaner and fancy fluids if you don't do 100s of watches, something like mineral spirits or isopropanol and a brush is enough), oiling (again I suggest getting some good special tools and proper oils, and do a lot of reading first). With vintage watches, you often need to find spare parts online. And yeah, it really is something you have to be into, and not worth it if you just wanna do 1 or 2 watches. Awesome feeling though when a 60 year old seized up machine springs to life again.

Where do you keep your watches? Do you have one of those boxes?

The fact that you're seething over Divers is making me to assume that you're a total wristlette

>>15371435
This picture triggers me hard.

>>15371423
it really depends on your personal style and also the style of the watch, its a fine line to ride

you can buy a $15 gold casio shitter since they have so many different models and try out the look and see if you like it or not before buying the actual thing

>>15371436
>>15371444

>>15371448
Obviously. Some people like to put them in drawers or their original boxes but I think it's far more stylish to have them all together.

>>15371362
a slim dress watch like that is obviously meant to go under a sleeve
if you are going to buy a watch like that why not wear it properly, itll look much better too

>>15371436

>>15371448
I've only got a couple watches so I keep them in my nightstand by my bed, but I'm thinking of getting a leather case like pic related. I think it would be handy for traveling.

sounds like a ton of work, even though it will be very cool in the end. Maybe next time, like start with simple modding stuff 1st and take it from there

The other day I was measuring myself, and I just realised that my dick isn't far off my wrists in terms of girth. My wrists are 6.5 inches, and my dick is 5.8 inches.

There's something fascinating about this time period, when for a brief moment mechanicals were considered shitters and the top end of seiko catalogues were filled with high priced quartz models.

And then the swiss kikes jumped back in and spent billions on marketing to convince people that quartz was somehow "soulless".

>>15371627
The jew fears the samurai

Post your digital shitters

>>15371627
quartz movements are pretty soulless compared to the craftsmanship and engineering that goes into high end mechanical watches. they have their place, with cheap beater watches

>>15371448

>>15370925
I love the all black version of this

>>15371656
I also have a thing for casio watches that imitate expensive watches

>>15371654
Ah yes, developing miniaturized motors didn't involve any craftsmanship or engineering. No, if a watch doesn't have gears, it must be soulless.

>>15371654
There is nothing soulful or craftsmanlike about a movement made for the most part in a nondescript factory somewhere in bumfuck asia by a person earning 20 cents an hour, you know, like a quartz movement within the same factory.

And you're late to everything because you bought outdated junk.

I'll take soulless over fragile and less reliable any day.

The whole "soul" thing is retarded. Objects don't have a soul and gears are no exception.

>Spending less for a superior technology is being poor

I want to see the clasp, and crown. also I want to see the red in person on the triangle. and movement.

>>15371707
No dude, some swiss guy gave his brand new rolex a kiss on its way out of the factory, that's how it got a soul. My 40 year old quartz has spent that whole time soulless because nobody loved it enough.

>>15371709
All the good quartz watches cost a few grand anyway. It's funny because Ronda and Eta make higher end quartz movements that only cost a few dollars more and literally no one uses them except Invicta in some of their "high end" models.

>>15370501

>>15371718
>It's funny because Ronda and Eta make higher end quartz movements that only cost a few dollars more and literally no one uses them except Invicta in some of their "high end" models.

Probably because the market for a swiss movement only wants auto because if marketing.

It's a shame, really. Give me a quartz BB58 or someting equivalent that wont require me to pay for stupid maintenance, and I'm all over it. I would also love a solar, but the swiss don't give a shit and rest on their laurels.

Tudor Pelagos LHD V. Tudor GMT: Which would you choose between the two, and why? Thenksssss

No. Just no.

I think the GMT looks much better, but I’d definitely want to try it on and see how much of a tank it is.

I like the normal Pelagos quite a bit, but the LHD is just too confused and busy for me

theres no excuse for modern field watches to not have at least durable water resistance. The inhouse movement is nice but you are paying a premium for the name, of course

>>15371760
It's a good but not great watch but it's very nice to see Patek doing interesting things with a Calatrava dial. However the text on the back is atrocious and it's massively overpriced especially for a mass produced steel watch. 1000 units is Omega tier "limited edition" marketing.

>>15371655
Hold on. Do quartz owners really do that?

>>15371448
i bought a cheap one of those on amazon a few weeks ago. its nice having them all in one case.

>>15371803
Don't worry, no one would know about winders, get one and post this unironically.

Recently bought a cheap six slot case with a valet drawer for my everyday shitters. So far I really like it and use it a lot

I'm pretty close to grabbing a cwc sub hunter, it's quartz but it's less than $300 and has 200m water resistance.

So what is the /wt/ verdict on Dan Henry watches?

>>15371803
Quartz watches have too much soul, if you don't at least simulate the experience of being on a wrist for them while you're not wearing them, they get sad and break down.

>>15371171
really nice but wear it to the other side of your wrist-bone or you look like an idiot

oh god imagine the smell

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (Like silly battery-powered toy quartz pleb watches)

That's straight from the good book. The word of the Allmighty.

>>15371760
nice enough, but nothing special.
what is up with that back, though?
if I get a display back, that means I probably want to look at the movement, not giant letters and numerals that you could have just etched into the metal part anyway. the design is somewhat less distracting but still in the way. but altogether it's tacky as fuck, not something I'm going to tolerate for patek prices

>>15371561
Amazing in case you are selling vacuum cleaners in Japan.

>>15371933
I know this is bait, but god, imagine owning a ceramic watch. One mistake, one knock off a bedside table onto your marble flooring, and that's it. There goes a lug, and a replacement is a full case swap costing half the price of the watch.

I've seen some retarded materials used for watches, but ceramic might be the worst of all time. Even bone and wood are better.

>>15371760
Patek had to become younger. All that shilling from people that we can find in this thread on their obnoxious watches won't pay the bills. It was old brand with insane amount of ugly designs. Totally out of fashion. Now they are finally getting back into the biz with more contemporary looks. It completely doesn't matter what anyone thinks about this particular one, but what will come in the future, like 5 years from now.

>>15371963
I hope you are kidding but not sure cause /fa/ is being full of this kind of retards these days who has 0 clue.

>>15371978
I hope you're kidding, a ceramic case is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

>>15371979
wow, you are indeed an illiterate idiot and have no idea what you are talking about... fascinating. Obviously Hablot, Rolex, Omega and almost any high tier brand don't know what they are doing. My god, get a book, retard.

>>15371985
You're right, they don't know what they're doing.

Well, actually they know exactly what they're doing, putting out inferior products that break easily in the hopes that when someone breaks one, they buy a new watch from the same company.

>mfw im a 6.1 inch wristlet and cant wear seiko samurai and not even skx009

It doesn't break easily you moron. Just shut up already. Educate yourself.

>>15371994
Just get an skx013, retard. Or give up on divers.

Yes or no?

>>15371999
Yes, it does. Ceramic isn't suitable for anything that might see impacts, it's fine for cutlery, not so great for anything you're taking outside.

>>15372011
Sure, the whole watch industry is wrong, you are right, idiot.

>>15371943
how sad about those wire lugs though, just tragic

>>15372005

>>15372018
The whole industry isn't making ceramic garbage, a few companies are hopping on the bandwagon because it's easy money. I hope you get that turd you want and then wind up dropping it, the look on your face would be priceless.

Museum Watch, designed by the American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Influenced by Bauhaus, the watch dial has a very simple design defined by a solitary dot at 12, symbolizing the sun at high noon. It was first made by an American importer of Swiss watches called "Vacheron & Constantin-LeCoultre Watches Inc." (not the Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin), and later produced by Movado. Horwitt's dial was selected for the permanent design collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, the first watch dial awarded this distinction. Movado finally settled with Horwitt in 1975 with a payment of $29,000 ($128,000 in 2015 dollars). Following Horwitt's death, Movado started heavy promotion of Horwitt and the design of the Museum Watch. Photographer Edward Steichen called Horwitt's design "the only truly original and beautiful one for such an object". The single dot dial now appears in many of Movado's timepieces. (Wikipedia)

>implying they are the same people

nobody even uses plated brass anymore except literal $15 chinese watches (think brands like Skmei) or post soviet manufacturers (Luch)

the former is forgivable because its $15 and the latter because its from an ed commie east EU shithole. What excuse does Timex have?

The fact that you felt the need to say that you're an oldfag proves that you aren't. No one fucking cares how long you've been here. No one cares what you think is good taste. The only thing you've proved is how autistic you are, and all it took was a stupid reaction gif to trigger your autism

Anything from soviet union was shit. My grandad was repairing those (I come from former Czechoslovakia). They were only mechanical because how far behind soviet union was. Basically all of ther watches or clocks always start to slow down over time or just run bad. Mechanical doesn't equal "good". If you have shitty springs made of shitty metal and the whole movement is just poor shit with acrylics, you have shitty watch. This still goes till today. They are consumer products which are made for general middleclass population.

I mean c’mon, even Timexfags know the amphibia is the king of absurdly good deals. And most would admit you’re paying a style premium, cuz at least in the US a Timex can be played straight or quirky style wise. A Vostok is always a quirky statement (not that I care, but you get my point).

is there a luxury Swiss brand that makes classy 34mm watches besides patek? i don't have Scrooge mcduck money but i can pay about $5k

>>15372375
>370aud
not a fan of these new seiko5s tbqh. the price is tad too high and if you top up a bit more you can get the old SKX009 (seiko pepsi) or something and that has 100 more WR and a diving/timing bezel, though you lose handwinding. Or you can get san martins for the same price or less but has more specs.

How can I make this wearable?

>>15372420
Couldn't tell you much. I just wore it for work and would rotate it out long enough to need to wind and set it again. I've never had it going solid for more than a week or two.
The SARB017 is the Alpinist, no? I was looking at that one too when I bought the Field watch.
