What time is it? Watches and horology

Service every 5 years is adequate, some people never service. Cost wise you're looking £200 independent, more like £350 if you go to Omega.

Yeah? Not too bad then, i probably spend more than £200 over 5yrs on watches anyhoot.
Thanks

So the timing results are in on the Explorer. After a full week of wearing it, it has gained 3.5 seconds per day, 0r 25 seconds in total.

Not bad and certainly within COSC standards.

You can probably get that closer to zero, depending on how you set the orientation over night. Possibly crown-up/crown-down will slow it slightly.

get rid of it!!! That is terrible!

In fact, ill help take that off your hands to save you the embarressment of such numbers!

Soooo many nice watches here in KL... I'm being very good tho', might just buy a pair of trainers instead...

Yeah; for the next week, i'll be keeping it "crown down" overnight. That's apparently the position to slow it down a little.

Results next Thursday.

Your wrists are too fat for this watch. Sorry.

big boned

Starp for the summer...£35, that'll do!

the strap broke on my £5 casio, and thinking about going for something a bit nicer/more durable this time. Any recommendations for decent, durable, stylish watches but not too pricey? I prefer subtle style and am not bothered by brands or vintage.

Sounds like you want a Seiko 5

Used 5s go for sod all on ebay.
Automatic, robust, cheap, reliable.
Cant go wrong.

Or an skx if you like the diver type

yep, or one of them

Seiko 5s come in a bazillion different styles too so something for everyone.

Look on the Nixon site.

Altiplano 900P

just sayin'

The Altiplano 900P, launched in 2014, is just 3.65mm thick

I take a couple more mm to avoid that fugly face.

I'd whack a murtz starp on it...

your a fugly face

Impressive that's for sure, I looked up the prices, their stupidly cheap I might by one to customise!

Yeah, guy here is well into them.
