What time is it? Watches and horology

Seriously cool

Richard Mille - an acquired taste.

If you do ever acquire that taste you need to burn your fucking eyes out.

I have the weirdest boner.

Anyone bought anything from Chrono24?
Still on the hunt for an Omega Speedmaster, but am unsure how trustworthy the site is

Richard Mille? B&d, you say I have no taste? That's vile...

I didn't say that you don't have taste. I have suggested in the past that your taste might be a little questionable.

my current lineup that aren't staying- anyone interested? part ex or swapsies

details for any on request

off to Kraków on Tuesday too, anyone got any recommendation for watch shopping?

Anyone bought anything from Chrono24?

No. But from what I understand and have read on watch forums:

• it is just a market place for watches (like eBay, Gumtree)
  
• their "trusted seller" ratings are meaningless
  
• you are unlikely to get any support from Chrono24
  
  

One thing lots of people point out is that most of the good sellers are actual shops. So do your research - Google map, cross check tel no.s, call them up, ask for additional photos of the watch to check they do have it, never buy from the Far East.

Or go to the shop. If they're in Europe they might meet in an airport and the cost of flying maybe on par with the PayPal fees.

Just rec'd the Seiko SKX007 from @radar

So pleased with it, what a lovely watch!

Latest acquisition and I think my favourite Seiko. From Creation - did get stung for charges tho... :-(

Does a new 4k Rolex for 3k count? Or a saving of over 1k on a new Tudor Pelagos? I've had no problems at all but have done my homework with the people I've dealt with. So I've called them and spoken to them, checked out their shop on Google maps, basically done everything I can to make sure they're legit.

Once certain I've done the deal and had nothing but speedy service and great results. HTH

@hugo7 @vanuden cheers guys, thanks for the tips.

I really like that. What's the model/price? If you don't mind me asking.

I agree...

And size?

@drøn
It's the SARG011 - I paid £280 from Creation plus ~£60 charges....

Thanks. It's lovely. I thought the charges would have been worse.
Congtrats with it!

Thanks!

Nice. Like that a lot.

Most accurate clock in the world and vindicated creator!

Rather enjoying the Omega on a leather strap...
