Personally I'd rather keep my watch and planisphere separate!

And on a more frugal note, new Seiko arrived!

Nice one, Mick... You're probably the only person on here who will actually use a watch like that for its intended purpose...

Aside from the fuel/oil mass to volume conversions that might be correct! Was going to bang on about how that "most complicated watch" was missing a slide rule!

lol

Telling the time?

Like scraping the black paint off their Lolex ;)

Which has the same movement in it as a Pelagos...

But at less than 20% of the cost... ;P

Lol, not so Squire.

The same 'base' model yes but the highest grade available lovingly hand- tweaked by experts to add a Dubois Depraz Chrono Module amongst other final finishing touches. Nope ;P

What are you two debating?

I'm trolololling, Joel... #tooeasy

Joe is bored :D

Nice Mick.

Solar too, skillz.

You will be able to land aeroplanes and shit now... add that to your Linked In

Hah! It's a skill that may come in handy!

Naturally, one also purchased the period correct vessel for one's timepiece:

^^ he reportedly collected vintage bicycles and was behind Qatar winning the bid for the 2016 UCI road championships

Balls....could have sold him my moots...Meh...I'd never have gotten paid.

Le sigh:

just got a 150m day date seiko divers for 40 quid!

I like that except the strap

the strap is part of the appeal for me tbh, think the metal ones are jank
