What time is it? Watches and horology

So many fake Rolex in Hong Kong. Ask look whack compared to legit ones

a decent fake can be identical from the outside - depending on the model even rolex can't be sure until they open the cases up and look at the crap inside. One of my mates bought an IWC with all the papers from a dealer and after £5k initial purchase and a few years later his watchmaker sent off to IWC for a service only to find out it was a fake that far down the line! thankfully the dealer sorted him out but he wasn't an IWC specialist so messed up (somehow!?)

somebody source a majetek case and i'm in.

^Yes! I've never seen one in the flesh, but tried to buy a Longines one in the past.

I'm wearing this today (M.O.D re-dial):

Today's why I'd only buy from a store. I don't know enough to spot a dodgy

What strap/bracelet would people recommend for this?

Current one is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Re. the Metro panic yesterday, a comment from Nomos:

"Please be reassured that we have every intention of continuing our highly successful model Metro; Metro 38 Datum is simply a continuation of the collection, not a replacement."

Hooray. I will have one in the next 12 months.

Stick a cheap NATO on it, job done...

@Soul I'm in HK at the end of April - if you were still on the hunt for a Rolex

Tempting...

Drop me a pm nearer the time (if you remember) and i might engage your services.

You need to do it in cash, otherwise you get stung on transaction fees.

Good point. Cash is fine with me but it might be strange taking it through customs?

Put it in your "back pocket"

Eterna does a nice modern 'heritage' take on that watch, if that's your thing. Stainless steel and PVD versions.

ok, try and buy a custom made, handsewn leather strap elsewhere. for cheaper. no chance.! No way, no how.
and thanks for repyling/acknowledging....

I do like your straps, I just think they look a bit butch for this watch

^birds wrist :)
