What time is it? Watches and horology

Just get the credit card out and get a GMT Master

Sure. The missus is from HK, so should be ok

Just get the credit card out and get a GMT Master

Maxed the credit card getting my Rapha chest-piece.

Ball holder

That's next week.

Seems like a lot of money for a Seiko and that gothic typeface makes me want to hurl.
It's of course all subjective but a used JLC compressor GMT could be had for not much more and they stand out as different to your average style (i have a compressor obsession at the moment)

Too fussy for me.

Compressors

Top one; nice.

The other two... meh.

^ Get sorted? B-)

Anybody want to buy a nearly new Smiths Everest?

Its in near perfect condition complete with box, papers and 11 months warranty. Just a tiny superficial light scratch on the bezel between 8 and 9 that would polish right out if you wanted. You can't see it in normal use though.

£225

If Dammit wants a Seiko that's going to rival a Rolex, it's going to have to be a Grand Seiko, so will have to be expensive and come with the gothic typeface. I don't mind the typeface as much as I mind the repetition of Seiko/GS/Grand Seiko. IMO Every one of them could be improved by having just Grand Seiko or Seiko/GS at the most.

For a non-fussy GS GMT that doesn't look like a Rolex:

Anyone have experience of Tsovet?

Paging @Dammit re. GS, what would you like to know Sir?

In other news have got a bit of a semi for the 39mm Rolex Explorer and in my hunt for barghan dealz have found a source that can supply for around £3290...

My first Super Compressor just arrived from Italy... chuffed.

Will probably have a different strap on it, but lovely addition to my collection - just need to save up for a 42mm black Longines version now

Who delivered it? Predator? B-)

V nice too.

Details of source pls...

For a non-fussy GS GMT that doesn't look like a Rolex:

I like this

I rather like this one.

Is there anywhere in London that stocks them?

I've seen them in Selfridges....

or save £5000...

Can't get my head round Seiko being a premium brand when you can buy it in your local branch of Argos . (i do understand the difference in movement - but anything with a Logo has a premium added) and you buy a pimp watch like a rolex or JLC for the investment value too right? the second hand prices for spring drives are 50% off retail it seems, whereas my boss bought a brand new daytona last year and it's worth £500 more than he paid for it already?

£5,500
£174.99
