What time is it? Watches and horology

I want an explorer now.

An oldie or a newie? The old ones give me a massive boner, which is useful for someone of my advanced years... #viagrex

wait... is rolex cool now? i can't keep up

An old one. Thats basically what I see when I think "watch".
Shame they're £8k +

Yes big red. But only ze Explorer.

i am confused - what do i do with all of these tudors i bought?

Give them to me for twelvty pounds.

i like tudor

And the milgauss

Yes...everybody has sold out to the Swiss C*ock.

i did it...

mm nice, congrats

Any opinions on MWC's? I like that they're tool watches rather than man-bracelets for status and something I could wear everyday. Bearing in mind I'm a student and already own an SKX007.

Thoughts? legit?
many thanks

I had an MWC recently, the chrono mk3, but the quality didn't feel great so i moved it on. Fairly decent for the money though i 'suppose? which model you looking at?

This one:

Pricier than others but I like the idea of the GLTS, Imma sucker for lume

Personally I wouldn't touch anything from Thailand, India or China...

(racist)

nice looking watch but seems like a lot of money and it's pretty huge at 43
i have a little marathon watch with GLTS and if i'm honest it's not as bright as i hoped, i'd want to see one in the flesh before i committed, also they go on eBay direct from the manufacturer regularly at heavily discounted prices (although i've never seen that one)

No. It's a classic Thai / Indian Heinz 57 and a complete hodgepodge of parts. You only have to look at the difference in colour of lume between the face, hour and minute hands, and second hand to see it's been cobbled together. Plus the fact that the second hand isn't even from that model.

Old truism. If something seems too good to be true it probably is.

Thanks t, I'll keep an eye out on T'Bay and maybe go for the £225 version without GLTS, and i didnt realise it was that big, hmm more thinking to be done.
I'm in Bangkok in the summer so I might pick up an AP Royal Oak copy for the bantz.
Long term I love the new blue-as-hell Pelagos and in the very long term I'd love me a Milgauss cos i do Physics and because /magnets.

many thanks all, great help!
the search continues

Also if you can help it don't buy quartz, they are to horology what McDonalds is to fine dining.

Lovely! Enjoy. It's a total classic.

i have problems, this makes three now! i might have to sell one of the black ones to get an anthracite one i think

its a 60th birthday present so maybe a mans watch might look weird?
Any suggestions for a nice ladies watch for around 500? I was thinking something elegant but suitable for everyday wear.

Or is there somewhere she could pick.out a nice watch? I was thinking Hatton Gardens? Is that going to be v overpriced?
