What time is it? Watches and horology

I don't either, but I guess its to keep it affordable. something has to give, so here its the 'glass'

get a matching set. simples

I don't think the acrylic is there to cut costs.

If it is, my vintage rolexes and omegas were made on the cheap.

I'm with BeauNidle. Sapphire glass as a minimum.

Birth-year seamaster FTW. Unless he was born in the 80's.

Acrylic doesn't shatter which was a consideration with the Omega moon watch as crystal debris inside a spaceship would be a problem. Rolex stuck with acrylic for similar reasons but once the watches became more of a luxury item owners didn't want the faces to get scratched so easily.

I prefer crystal because it doesn't scratch but the earlier acrylic Rolex had a lovely side profile which is completely lost with the new super case making it even worse. It is more expensive to produce though.

1984 :(

Fuck that's ugly. Good luck shifting it

no

Obviously not worth £17K else someone would've bought it for it.

Rich cunts will buy anything. Especially if it is expensive. Ask B&D.

Tell me something I dont know !!
Actually in the flesh it is not awful , and is beautifully finished . 112 grammes of 18ct . It is however not very subtle .........

This is better but still pretty awful. A steal at £9k second hand.

^^ Its the 12/6 numbering and the weird seconds sub dial that really puts me off that.

Oh and the price.

i will take an offer ........

You rang...

@ejay - I could probably punt it on in the Middle East for you, if you like?

Middle man fee please.

You may remember the beautiful Max Bill Chrono that I bought from Stonehedge a couple of years ago (https://www.lfgss.com/comments/10165101/).

It hasn't been used anywhere near as much as it deserves - in fact only for a couple of weddings - so it's time to pass it on.

I'd like to get back what I paid - £1000 with both the mesh and Hirsch leather straps.

Let me know if I'm well off on price here!

Does anyone have a contact or a "guy" who can get me this:

Without the £2K premium everyone is asking to get it this year.
Not for me but for a client

tacky-meter indeed!

#amiright?

Do you know any blind Arabs then?

There's been a £2k premium on the steel daytona forever, I doubt this model will be any different unless Rolex suddenly decide to make enough to satisfy demand.

I have regretted selling this to you for two years.

Happy to deliver it home!
