What time is it? Watches and horology

Seiko BFK from Creation:
I've been thinking about the same thing from the same place. Can I ask how much you got skinned for by customs and delivery services in the UK. I hope you can say that you got away with it, but I know I won't be so lucky.

Didn't pay any customs! Brought two watches for £260 and creation marked them as time instruments at like ten pounds each and they arrived promtly via dhl to be signed for after two/three days.

What he said, both of my Seiko watches have come from Creation and not had to pay anything aside from the price of the watch. Including delivery.

Merry Christmas watch thread!

Yep. Merry Christmas to you and yours. #Warez

Here's the Max Bill I was thinking about for my missus. She's proper chuffed with it.

merry xmas watch geeks

Previous both awesome choices. Am thinking (aka about to get) the white face no date, auto, with mesh starp next year.

yes. that would have been my preference but this was a steal so I couldn't resist

Joe, loving your grey sweater. YMC?

That's a hairy mirror

;)

APC and Etre Cecile but both belong to the Doris

I think I'm in luv.

That bronze case would age beautifully well. Actually think it would be enhanced by a couple of nicks and scuffs.

My lovely considerate girl had a 'watch pouch' comissioned because I mentioned I didn't like cycling to work wearing a watch.
Sorry Murts, she didn't know there was a resident leather man...

grrrr!!! :)

^^ thats really good. I've been half looking for somethign to carry my watch to work so the silver and leather don't get as grim. The rolls look great and like a sensible idea if you've got a suit case, but they aren't that practical for a chest pocket or bag.

This looks quite practical:

scroll until you read the description, I lol'd

surely, something as tough as a half decent diver , doesn't really need a soft case to look after it!
A bit silly putting the Seiko in that.

Yep. It wouldn't be my choise of display watch, but if you've got something more delicate, it looks sensible.

Oh dear...
