Just added this Rolex Date Just II "41 MM" Ref 116334 to the collection, also pictured are my Sub C "Hulk" Ref. 116610LV & GMT Master II "Dark Knight" Ref. 116710BLNR

I'm joining the US Coast Guard soon, and I'll be needing a new watch that has to fit an annoying specific criteria. It was recommended that I buy a G-Shock, but goddamn I hate everything digital when it comes to watches, I don't know why. It needs to be black(face can be dark grey), be suitable for occasional submersion in water for swimming(I'm not a diver, so it'll never see depths more than 10 feet or so), and preferably be made out of stainless steel so I don't have to worry about rust or degradation. Any suggestions in the <$200usd price range?

Other than the fact that I like them, I'm not terribly knowledgeable about watches, so I figure you guys would be able to push me in the right direction.

>>9865735
>buying fake watches
>still having no taste

just copped, thing is gorgeous

>>9865766
gross

>>9865738

You may not like them but there is a good reason you were recommended getting a G-Shock. They can handle almost anything. Except for that one guy on /g/ recently who is like a PMC or something and managed to get his destroyed.

I'm essentially going to be an armorer, I won't be doing crazy shit. I'll be playing with guns all day once I finish my A-school training, and before that it'll be mostly manual labor. I guess I'll look at the variety of models they have, it seems like there are a few less-digital ones out there.

This one's kind of nice since it's not all digital and fuckhueg like the rest of them. The price is definitely right.

>tried this on at the store
>makes my 6.5inch wrist look puny

darn

>>9865836
Is this watch gonna be any good? I might seal the deal since its pretty cheap

>>9866102

Yeah, you can't go wrong with a G-Shock. Well unless you pick one of the hideous color schemes they make.

>>9865705
OP confirmed as retarded.

Hamilton Jazzmaster thinline reporting in

Just ordered this. I can't wait!

This arrived today.

>>9866297

I'm actually thinking about getting the blue version myself. The peacock dial is very impressive but it's not something I'd personally want to wear.

>>9866323
You should definitely do it.
I just couldn't not buy the peacock dial, I really think it's a work of art.
But you're right that the plum blossom dial is a lot more useable with different fits.

I usually love shit like that. It even had curious girls doing curious things.

>>9865705
I already told you your picture is a 44mm panerai, here's a picture of the PAM049.

About to pull the trigger on this. Opinions/alternatives?

>>9866421
I'd go with the one with blue hands.

>>9866421
If you like it purchase it. It's not very expensive so don't expect it to be amazing. If you are after a cheap, thin Quartz watch with a minimal styling it is a half decent choice

If you want a mechanical for a similar price cheap out rodina st17

>>9866197
But is it auto

I'm thinking of getting the new bambino. What do you guys think?

>>9866525
I like it, it's very beautiful, but blue isn't very versatile.

>>9866323
How much?

>>9867462

$920USD starting price.

>>9866317
You'll enjoy that watch. Nice choice.

>>9865738
Any number of "dive" watches would fit your criteria. I'd look into Tauchmeister.

>>9866197
>4 o'clock date in a slant

Literally cannot get any more absolutely disgusting.

>>9865738
You could get the Orient Ray Raven for sub $200, but black watches in that price range are PVD coated, which will flake off. If you wan`t a watch that won't look beat to shit after a short time, you need to up your budget and look into DLC coated watches.

Literally Seiko 5 Sports

Okay /fa/ you might make fun of me but I don't care anymore. I want to find jeans that actually fit me. The problem is that I'm short, 5´5. All the jeans I've bought have always been to long and to wide. Just bought a pair of jeans from Peter manning NYC that claims to fit perfect for short guys, but they didn't. Where can I find jeans that will fit me?

I don't want to spend money on those fashion blogs because I think it will still be useless.

I know I should get them hemmed, but will a tailor also be able to make them a little tighter so they won't be loose?

Thanks...

>>9867974
You should make a thread or post in a jeans thread. Not a lot of people who can advise you will see it in this thread. Good luck.

>>9867994

I had one of these as my first watch when i was about 10 the thing only just fell apart a few weeks ago and I'm 26 now.

That was only because it had been left in some draw and the plastic had started to rot. it's kinda sad really i bet if i had looked after it and kept using it i'd still have it today

>>9868415

Yes, yes le Chinese watches are le shit. We've heard this spiel before.

Between the watchbox, the inner ring behind the crystal and the dials I counted the word "Rolex" wrroten aprox. 27 times. Fucking branding, seriously, is like an Armani Exchange outfit with the A|X all over.

>>9866323
Big congrats to you both!! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.
>>pic related, my Imperial Red

>>9867475
WOW. The price has seriously dropped, more than 2/3. I wonder what kind of impact will this have on the finishing grade on the movement. Maybe is the lack of engraved gold balance wheel and escapement bridges? Still, at this price, I think I may get another, even if just for gifting to a friend.

Question for "I'MDL,Y"

Dear Lawyer,
I like the look of blue hands on a nice watch, with blue markers even more (it's a little weird, I know). With that in mind, which watch from $3,500 to $62,000 would you pick with this set up for dial/hands? Also, what do you think of the Breguet Marine, Cartier du Cle, Omega deville white gold or platinum or a platinum Rolex Day Date 40 (the new one)?
Durability would be nice, but whatever the lawyer picks I will look closely at, thanks.

>>9869876
There is no way you can afford a $60k watch, let alone a $4k watch.

>>9869826
>being surprised that a chinese watch lost its value

>>9867817

Nice cop anon. Will be a reliable watch for many years.

>>9869876

> 3,500 to 62,000

Do you mean 6,200?

Damn nigga there are thousands of options.

>>9869919
>>9869937
Yes, I mean $62,000

and yes, I can afford a nice watch, up to the amount I've set. I earned it, every penny. I'd like to hear da lawyer, yo's take.

>>9869989

Good for you mate. What other watches do you have?

Of the ones you listed the Breguet would be my pick well over and above any of the others. But I'm a little biased because Breguet is my 2nd favourite brand of all time.

I'll suggest the F.P. Journe Chronometre Souverain (pic related). Too busy?

I value Lawyer's opinion but you might be limiting yourself by taking suggestions from one poster.

Shitty timex with red white and blue NATO Strap

Aquaracer

Hey guys I need help identifying a watch of my father's that I found. I tried looking up Bulova models and serial numbers and couldn't find anything that helped. I would really appreciate it if somebody could give me a model name and/or value I would really appreciate it

>>9869788
Dame, Luke, you must have cut deep. It'll fade more in time, probably.

>>9870151
It's a fine watch and it looks good with that strap. And dat's a good doge. ice cream gud.

>>9870151

Cute puppy anon. What breed?

Also that Timex is a great watch. I'm not too keen on the nato for all-the-time wearing, so I would recommend getting a leather nato too.

>>9867817 here.

I'm new to watches so these are the only ones I own. Which one would be considered the more dressy and which would be the more casual one?

>>9870613
White>black

If you want super dressy, swap the straps of the two.

>>9865735
LOL at this cunt posting this in literally every single thread.
Thanks for the reference numbers though. I mean it's not like every tasteless douche in the world with a few grand to spend on a watch buys a Rolex. If I didn't have the reference numbers I'd never be able to find a Rolex submariner on Google.

This is the most autistic shit I've ever seen

>>9870613
white is dressier, as is the more minimal design, no labels, no complications

however leather straps are more dressy than bracelets; you could switch them

Considering getting this as a casual watch, as my hmt Sona scratches really easily and I cant be bothered to polish it 24/7

Also I've heard a lot of stuff about the Japan made version vs the Malaysian made one, anyone have experience with it? The Japan made one is like twice as expensive and people are saying its more accurate or whatnot but I dont know.

Just bought this for my gf. Tissot T classic

>>9870638

>>9870177

>>9870792
You should be able to find a Japanese catalog for seiko watches, they will be more expensive and have much better bracelets and better movements then other seiko. That applies for seiko in general. I'm unsure of the watch you are talking about in specific

I'm glad I inspired you. Enjoy it greately.

>>9871002
That would only mean that the engraved balance wheel and escapement bridges pushed the price a bit more than a grand. Funny, it never poped in my mind to learn about the price of a normal edition, I was just happy there was still one special edition on sale. I'm still happy in fact.

When you get yours I hope you post pics of the movement, so we can compare finishings, I'm very curious. Cheers!!

>>9869876
I'm honored you decided to ask me. Couple of questions first mate:
1. What do you do for living?
2. What's your lifestyle?
3. Do you own any more watches? Wich?

This simple questions will help me offer a better and richer answer.

>>9869919
Apparently is not a difference in depreciation, bur rather finishing techiniques. Still, I don't watch speculate, that's a sureway to loose money and don't enjoy your watches.

>>9871129
What ref is your pam?
I remember it as 44mm GMT (like your UN) but not which one.
Out of your rather impressive collection, what do you actually wear daily?

>>9871129

Its from 2000 but in a very good condition with box papers and everything. Got serviced once

>>9871129
Hello Mr. I'm da Lawyer yo

I might buy a rolex for my nephew. What would you suggest for a 16 year old prep child? I was thinking the pepsi GMT-Master II, but was unsure

>>9871525
>16
>rolex
Try a $30 casio

>>9871525
Tudor.

Don't waste Rolex money on a 16 year old.

Or get a cheap used vintage Sub.

So my dad gave me this and I wear it often because I like it but could anyone shed some light on it? I think it's gold or gold plated , around 20 years old and I haven't heard of the brand before.

>>9866165
Right one is a shitpost
Left one is a shitpost
Bottom one is made by an autist

So no, this is the correct thread.

>>9871681
Universal Genève is a great brand. It looks gold plated, you can see the gold plating wore off on the edges of the lugs. Nice watch anyway.

>>9871707
Cheers then fella

Is the Pebble fa? I actually love it

>>9871525
You won't.

>>9871738
Aren't they a bit chunky? Have heard as much from friends/the giant bombast when I listened to it back in the day.

>>9871757
Aren't you a bit chunky?

Anyone know if watches from Marc & Sons are any good? I really like their pilot one, but it's kinda big and around $220

>>9871757
Abit, but it dosent bother me.

>>9871212
By now I actually own two PAMS;

The first, that have been posted here before is my PAM161, a 44mm Luminor GMT wich has the original Panerai out-of-production bracelet, with semicircular titanium and steel links, wich I love although I don't use very often, as I rather have it on colorful straps like >pic related and

My PAM292 with piggy dial, wich, If I'm honest, I rarely use since almost from the beggining I discovered the ceramic case is extremely vulnerable to cracking if hited in the right (or wrong, whatever) angle and I'm afraid to break it into oblivion. I think it hasn't been out of the vault for more than six months. ;_;

I've had one of these for a couple years. Wear it on a NATO strap.

>>9871473
That seems to me like a black faced Leman Triple Date Moonphase in steel.
It's a nice watch overall with a useful complication in an elegant 38mm case.

A well preserved example of that reference goes for about 3600 to 3900 USD with a practically LNIB hiting the 4k mark. A more banged one should sell for about 3.2k.
In any case, you should try to buy a complete example (box, papers, pouch, warranty, even if not valida anymore) like pic related or ask for a considerable reduction in the price if there isn't any of the formers.

The interesting thing here is that, apparently, the black dial in steel is a bit rare so that's a plus, although it shouldn't increase the price by more than a couple of hundreds.

Couple of links I found with more detailed information:

An Air-King Precision. Why? Because he is probably going to fuck it a little, even if he acts responsable for his age so repairing it/finding parts should be a taken into account. He is probably underdevelopped yet so a big watch will look ridiculous and become obstrusive of wrist and hand movement.
>Who would'nt want a watch like pic related?
If it turns out he really likes watches, let him work to earn himself a more coveted reference, let him become a man.
HOWEVER, you should also measure if this will actually make him good in the long term. Having a luxury item like a Rolex at such a young age can seriously mess with perception of reality and put your nephew in a race to become a douchebag who thinks he is better than others simply cause he has a shinny piece of metal in the wrist.
Also, that watch (by simply saying Rolex) is going to be a pussy magnet among impressionable girls and that does come with risks. You woun't want to be a grand-uncle so soon, would you?
If you must gift it, you then must seat with your nephew and explain him some ground rules, wichever you find suitable for his benefit.

>>9871987
>Implying 16 year old girls know what a rolex even is
Other than that I agree

>>9872003
Everybody knows Rolex. As long as it says rolex and swiss made on the dial, most people will fall for it.

You don't have to.

who here has bought from crown and buckle?

what's the difference between regular, heavy duty and premium nato straps?

also, if my watch is 21 mm, would it be better to go for only 21 mm straps or could i put a 20 mm one on there and be fine?

>>9871129

Thanks so much!

1. I work in medicine--a private practice. Think nice business casual with a lab coat over. I want to look nice without being super showy, which is why many of my choices are SS and platinum.
2. I'm active enough. I like the idea of a durable watch that won't break if I get it wet. I'm leaning toward bracelets on watches, just because a sweaty August day in NYC isn't great for alligator. Anyway, this would be a milestone sort of watch to cap my small collection. The blue hands, blue markers just seems to be a way to limit and organize my search, plus I love the look.
3. I have a JLC MUT Moon in SS as a dress watch, which I love and a Datejust II with a rhodium face and smooth bezel, which I also like a lot, it feels super durable, hence the new date date 40 in blue roman markers and a new calibre being on my list.

>>9872605
Beautiful watch.
Can I ask how much you made last year?

Make sure to post a picture of your Datejust as well, I have a blue face-smooth bezel that is currently being serviced.

can not capture it in the pic, but there's almost a feint oilslick color to all the mirrior surfaces when they shine. [hour/min hand, edges of the batons)

I would only wear my watch when I go out on weekends since I'm an 18 year that works fast food 30 hours a week.

What harm would a fake watch do me? My grandfather collects them and he has about twenty, so what should I look out for? I'd avoid a rolex since that screams fake for an 18 year old, but I usually dress well and live comfortable (household income $250k+/y).

I'm heading to Singapore in four days, would it be a better investment to buy a genuine watch from duty free on the way? Or one from a street store there? What should I do watch general?

Unless you find a unaffordable gen watch that you really like the design of and want it for that reason rather than to flaunt it there's little point in getting a rep and plenty of good enough watches within most budgets that aren't reps.

Did some looking around and found this, there are Armani stores in duty free, would they sell this and is it tacky?

>>9876972
It's very tacky.
Don't buy fashion watches like Armani, Diesel, Hugo Boss, etc.
They're shit.

>>9876823
No offense to gramps, but fake watches are for fake people. Buy something nice that you can afford and wear it with pride until you can get something better (and even then).

>>9876998
He gets them from garage sales to flip, his watch that he wears now he brought alongside another 5 for like $10. It turned out to be an authentic god knows what it's called, but it's worth quite a bit. Since then he just buys bundles of watches hoping he will find more real ones.

At 6 3/4" is my wrist too tiny for >40mm dress watches? Even 40mm seem huge to me.

The only dress watch I've ever owned was a Poljot de Luxe (like pic related) I got as a hand-me-down from dad when I was fifteen, and that felt much better sized at (IIRC) 34mm.

Just got this one

>>9877230
how does it even work

>>9877233
Magnets inside the body move ball bearing around a track. Never seen anything like it before

>>9877216
big watches are a current fashion

50 years ago a 38mm would be on the big side, and at the start of century many popular watches were under 30mm

it kind of reminds me of phones which went from large bricks, through a period of miniaturization, again into large smartphones you can't fit in a pocket

the initial miniaturization is to positively contrast against bulkier early phones/pocket watches, then after that dies down we enter a period of growth powered by muh bigger is better

>>9877246
But how can you tell time with only one "hand"

>>9877300
Hour hand exactly between two hours is the first hour and 30 minutes IIRC

>>9877307
Not very accurate but works I guess

>>9877233
>>9877300

>>9877300

That doesn't match at all.

>>9865705
Should I get this repaired?

>>9879076
Don't be so quick to judge so harshly, anon. I have tiny wrists and poor eyesight, therefore I need a large watch. It might look tackyish, but there's a reason for it.

>>9879617
Probably expensive as fuck.
>oil filled
It's pretty fucking cool. Cop if you like it.

>>9879718
Personally, I wouldn't. You can score a new Citizen most likely for the cost of repairs, depending on what's wrong with it. I'd just get a new one and keep it around for parts or whatever.

>>9879617
sweet just copped

>>9879617
just watched the vid. $34,000 USD. Yeah, Imma pass.

thinking of buying a vintage seiko 5 and a mesh to put together something like this

yay or nay?

>>9880147
>I have tiny wrists and poor eyesight
Then get a watch with high visibility that isn't huge and doesn't requiring fondling it to figure out the time.

>>9880602

>>9880161
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Thank you.

Thinking about copping this 90's Hamilton khaki. What do you think?

>>9881757
Looks like a Steinhart-made Seiko 5

This is my only watch, but I love it.

>>9881843
>one extra crown for the date window
that's how you tell if a watch movement is really cheap, mako-tier

>>9881902
It is more likely for the inner rotating bezel displaying world time.

>>9881909
This is correct.

It was $200 or 300, in that range. I don't wear a watch for the bling factor.

>>9881936
You change the date by advancing past midnight repeatedly.

Alright, I have $4000-4500 to spend on a watch for my graduation gift. I definitely want something sporty, but one that could also be worn with a suit if needs be. I am also looking to buy pre-owned.

I am mostly looking at 40mm Panerais and a JLC Master Compressor, anyone have any other suggestions?

>>9879617

I prefer this version. Honestly would cop if I were a racecar driver or car collector.

>>9881962
Blue tag monaco? Or that navitimer

I'm new, is gold acceptable for watches? Maybe with a black leather band or similar

>>9881962
>A-series RO but SubC
>Monaco and Portugese not in the iconic blue models
>Modern datejust rather than reeces cup bezel
>Some Glashutte instead of an IWC mk XII
Who the fuck made that image

As for your question, don't have one watch that does it all.
Get a sports watch and a dress watch. Might seem superflous in this day and age, and yes, Bibi wears his PAM048 with a suit. You're not him and the only Master Compressor I've seen that doesn't look like shit is the 2068570.
Pam048/49 on a 4k budget will be rather hard looking at Chrono24.

I'd rather have a tudor snowflake and a Orient Star dress watch.

>>9882082

for a dress watch, yes. gold scratches easily so you don't want to abuse it.

>>9880602
I do have watches with high visibility, but due to that, they're largish. I'm ok with how they look on me. And my opinion is the only one that matters, because I'm the one wearing them. I don't even mean that in an offensive way. It's just how it is. I'm past the age where I care what people think things like this. Granted, I don't want to look like a complete fool where dress is involved. As far as style goes, I need much more help in overall clothing and outfits than watches. I'm 100% ok with my watch choices. I'd post a pic, but nahhh.

>>9881843
Saved the pic. I kinda like it.

>>9865705

I know you guys wear different watches for different occasions, but does anyone wear a watch for when they shit/use bathroom?
always have to put on a cheap casio just in case.

>>9881962
No to panerai, look up how they stuck an unfinished eta movement in one of their closed-back "Special editions" and you'll who you're dealing with.

JLC is a watchmaker's brand, good choice.
>>9869565

A used submariner if you want a classic watch everyone else has.

>>9882065
Shit taste please go

>>9882084
I have a Pam 48 and a Pam 49 bookmarked, both at just under 4k. I can definitely wear a pam with a suit, I know they are very popular in investment banking.

Also that JLC isn't a master compressor, and is worth twice as much as I would like to pay.

>>9882289
I know the "le brooklyn bridge" Panerai meme, it doesn't defer me from the brand.

>>9882297
I just believe you're worth twice as much as you do. Come on, you know I'm right.

Need halp identifying watch pls

I don't have pics so sorry, but will try my best to describe

>Panerai
>Orange numbers
>Tourbillon
>Luminor Marina
>Two chronograph looking things
>Light brown strap
>Weird covering on the crown
>Day wheel

Pls respond

>>9882323
OP here again

I found this pic online

It's very similar but once again doesn't have numbers all around, doesn't have day wheel, not orange numbers, the chronograph-things are a bit different but they're similar and in the same spots.

Pls help

>>9882323

>>9882348
Nope, not it. Sorry.

>>9882297
They're popular in the same gold tags were a decade or two ago.
Also how big is your wrist?
7.8"+?

>>9865738

As they said, get a G-Shock. They have Ana/Digi models.

The most expensive watches I own are the Invicta Subaqua Noma, Russian Diver and Venom (all around $1,500+ retail). What is a good casual watch for around $500?

6.5 skello wrists here, should 40mm be a good limit?

>>9882443
Yes
Measure how wide your wrist is and then make sure the lug to lug doesn't surpass that just to be sure.
You can probably have an skx007 for example.

>>9882474
how to measure wrist width

Sounds dumb but I really don't know. Do i hold it until they reach the sides or wat

>>9882474
Thank you very much!

>>9882492
I guess a caliper is the best.
It's from one side of it to the other on the level of the top of your wrist.

>>9882387
No, under 7" hence the 40mm Pam.

What's your opinion on Tokyoflash watches?

>>9883083

They are all completely retarded looking.

>>9882741
Real Pams are 44 or 47mm, I too want a 048 but the cyclops is just doesn't fit.
Unless you have a chunky fucking wrist and a poorly fitting suit, wearing a panerai with a suit is just out of place.
If your wrist isn't size large, wouldn't absolutely every single JLC Master Compressor be way too large?

>>9883083
Utter dogshit

>>9883106
JLC Master Compressors are 41.5mm?

I think I am going to get a Pam49 though, maybe a rolex?

>>9883083
Interesting concept, attempting to show the time without using numbers.

But the standard clock face is so ingrained in the collective consciousness of mankind that it serves no purpose. You can look at a standard clock face without numbers and know within ± 1 minute what time it is.

>>9883265
They're really not my thing so I thought they all were around the size of the few 46mm models I've seen.
I'd rather get a PAM333 but I'm assuming that they're considerably rarer and likely more expensive.
You seem set on the PAM049.
Get it and enjoy it or get a used rolex that you'll still like in a decade.

This watch my girlfriend got me for christmas has Sputnik on the seconds dial!

Also I use a pocket watch on my desk instead of a wall clock! I love it!

>>9872156
I have bought from crown and buckle before theres nothing wrong with them, maybe a tiny bit overpriced on some of their items. I bought an orange nato from them for my orange monster I forget if it is regular/premium/heavy duty and I do not know what the difference is.

>>9883303
Yeah, I am feeling the Pam49. I just don't know if I should get a bracelet, or get a rubber/leather and swap them out for the occasion.

>>9883550
If possible general rule is: buy with bracelet, buy own straps to change with. If you really want that legit feeling, buy some horrendously overpriced branded buckles too.

>>9883550

Does Panerai even do bracelets? I don't think I've ever seen a photo of one of their watches on one before, it's always leather.

>>9882323
pls help

>>9883309
I dig.

>>9883601
I guess, the bracelet is much more expensive though.

>>9883627
Yeah, they aren't the "panerai aesthetic" so the watchbeards stay away from them. I think they look great though.

>>9884072
>>9884204
Forgot pic

TOO BIG

>Panerai on a bracelet

You are doing it wrong.

>>9884578
No it doesn't.

>>9885338
Start wearing your watch properly, nobody is trying to kill you at home.

>>9885351

>>9885338

Can someone post the infographic of low to mid tier watches pls

>>9865705
Should I get a Rodina? I don't have a watch.

>>9885338
What colour is the boathouse in Hereford?

>>9885449
Here you go

>>9885451
If you don't have one and haven't lurked here enough to get hype you might want to get a quartz first.
No need to set the time as frequently, likely thinner and lighter too.
Think again and get the Rodina anyway, it's a nice looking watch.

>>9885451
Sure, why not.

>>9885457
>>9885459
Thanks guys. Maybe I'll save up some and get a good waterproof analog though.

cop or no?

>>9885595
No.
Not sure if this is a poor troll.

>>9885140
p sure it does

IIRC this is a copy of a real watch brand, but I can't remember where I saw it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or have I dreamt it?

>>9886041
Yeah, it is my grail watch.

>>9884209
ay let me cop that

Someone on /g/ just updated the Watch guide if you guys are interested
Now it includes the Bagelsport Milgauss

Recently got a nicer watch and even more recently a small scratch on the glass face of the watch. Its not really noticeable enough but it still bugs me.

How should I go about fixing this?

>>9887076

It depends on what the crystal is made of. Do you know? If not post what watch it is so somebody can try to help.

>>9887081
Its an Orient Mako.

>>9887089

It has a mineral crystal and from what I've read they are a massive pain in the ass to work on.

guys look whose leaving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVYrHG36ImA

>>9887076
Okay, I'm on this.

The first thing is to never buy a watch with a mineral glass crystal again.

You can order diamond polishing stuff from amazon, get a set with 1-5u size diamond grit goo flavor pack.

Then, put some on an earwab and rub with a bit of pressure on the scratch, making little circles and not marring the bezel.

Now, add autism. A small scratch will take about 2.5 hour on the 4or 5u size grit goo. I did it in steps and didn't notice a change, at first, just adding more autism as I went. Finish with a little autism and a smaller grit, say 1u to polish.

The end result is total elimination of a small scratch and net increase on the autism scale.

Buy a watch with a sapphire crystal next time!

>>9885956
You suck, tiny wrist. Your adult watch looks stupid on your little boy hand, doofus.

>>9887343
Whats the proper name for this "grit glue"?

>>9887350

go ahead and try

is skagen fa?

>>9865705
anyone know how much this is worth? i know its limited edition and mom said it will only rise in price.

I almost got beat up at a kebab place for telling a friends friend his shitty 250 dollar diesel watch could be bought online for like 20 bucks with the same exact shitty movement.
I felt autistic but atleast I told him... r-right?

>>9887691
As far as I know they have a issue with the glass being fragile, look into it if you want


>>9887743
I'm not sure if you are being serious, but anyway I'll bite. Things are only worth as much as someone will pay for it, look at chrono 24 and see how much similar ones are selling for

>>9887601
Mine's the JLC posted, doofus.

Your watch doesn't fit you.

>>9887601
This is what I was talking about:
7pcs 5 gram Diamond Lapping Paste

>>9888040
No, because I actually posted that.

Hahaha, poorbois lmao

>>9888297
Uh, no, doofus. You didn't post the picture I took of my JLC watch on my arm.

Seriously, doofus. The watch daddy bought you doesn't fit.
