newest entry to my watch collection:
Vostok amphibia with a ministry case; maybe one of the most interesting watches i have had in a long time, especialy design-wise. The watch itself doesnt work like your average diver, the pressure resistance rises as you dive deeper with it. Like with most russian items, this watch is definately not a beauty but rather a kalashnikov, it always works and thats it, but this is the charme about it i and i kinda dig it
Obligatory wristshots:
Rocking the watch on a hirschstrap
Lume
Dat domed crystal, hnggg

been hearing this alot but mine is pretty acurate so far, like maybe a couple secs +/- a day. On the other hand this is still a watch that costs like 70 bucks so for that price you shouldnt be expecting too much but you will be surprised by the case-finishing, can easily compete with low price seikos

Nice one bro, looks tough/masculine but formal with a nice suit.

Top 5 laundry detergents in the game (don't judge my opinion):
1.Tide (delivers a clean and fresh style of)
2.Oxi clean (attacks dry stains like a monster)
3.all (deserves a spot in the top 5 but not the best)
4.wisk (I respect the stain spectrum tech. But needs to fight harder for that top 3)
5.purex (up and coming in the game)

Personally wouldn't wear a monster with a suit. Just too much of a tool watch. Other divers can pull it off, but I think the monster is too far to the tool side. Cool watches though.

anybody knowing a modern brand that makes racing style chronographs? like these for example:
definately cant break the bank to buy myself a vintage autavia like the ones in the pics. i thought about buying a autodromo prototipo but after reading reviews about it i lost interest, mainly because of the quartz-movement. i just could not bring myself to buy a watch for more than 600 dollars if it's a quartz, unless we talk about a high end quartz watch like a sinn ux.

I'm looking into a watch with mechanical movement, orient bambino fits my budget perfectly. It's a watch that goes with anything I think, whats your guys opinion on this one? I'm gonna buy the second one with a brown leather strap I think.

I've posted it many times before. I always find it kind of quirkey that they put the red portion of the bezel behind the 12 o'clock marcker vs infrom like many Japanese and Swiss watches. It makes sense toe to have it here, so I think it's kind of cool.
Edit: holy **** I just reread this and its riddled with typos. Posted it from mobile. What can I expect.

I also find it highly amusing that the guy belittling someone just getting started out as a "guy that wants a Swiss watch to impress people without knowing anything about it" posts a watermarked picture of himself wearing a watch from a company that has zero history and that was saved from bankruptcy a whopping 30 years ago because Biver arbitrarily inflated the price and convinced a bunch of celebrities to wear them.

Don't care about the engineering in that, it's an abomination and needs to be burned along with anything to do with it.
