What time is it? Watches and horology

I think you can get an auto these days. im sure i saw one in Zurich recently

What's an auto, Iain? #lol #oldjoke

No you're an #oldjoke etc...

I'm here all week... #etc

Not a stick shift

I think that that Mondaine is the new stop2go (judging by the flat crown) - including the awesome 2 second pause like the railway station clocks. In which case it is quartz.

it is yeah

I find it a bit mundane.

A fancy Swatch innit?

So what's the ghostly image behind it?

Thoughts?

I like a 'nith, wearing one now in fact, but not sure about that one.

Sorry - I was very unclear... I meant @jb000's is the quartz Stop2go

the soft focus image you posted looks like a manual, and the amazon link an auto - neither of them are stop2go

Ah!

Cool :-)

There was a nice Nato strap on here not long ago think @Sumo or @Sanddancer might have posted it?

How hard is it going to be to find pins for that ^ so I can fit a strap?

Should be easy...

measure distance, buy on ebay. as a total guess they're probably 18mm. or go to any watch shop and they'll sell you some for about £2.

but actually, straps often come with pins I think

great, thanks

Am thinking about getting a PVD or DLC diver up to about £750 (1k at a push) less if the quality is good. I'm not a brand snob.

Something average size not massive (ideally 40mm or 42mm). Any ideas? Ta muchly :)

Has some weird watch buying bot hacked your account, Joel?
