What time is it? Watches and horology

Yes, I love those books, I have a model of the rocket on my desk.

Ahso...

That C. Ward looks great...is there a way to get on the mailing list for their sales, as it's all full price if I go to the site?

Gorgeous!!

Bottom of the homepage. There's a sign up.

Anyone "on here" who is involved with the watch trade that can get that Omega?

I'm hoping my Steinhart arrived today!

WORD

After months of umming and ahhhing I've finally pulled my finger out and ordered a SKX009. Ordered from Japan via Amazon so it'll probably take as long as it took me to buy it for it to arrive but it gives me time to think about straps. I ordered it on the Jubilee but I've heard it rattles a fair bit so will want to change it. Do I do what everyone does and fit a NATO/ZULU (also a couple of my watches already have NATOS) or do I try something else?

Natos are easiest for jazzing up your look quick and easy like.

I have a range of nato, the OG black rubber and a metal bracelet I got from watchworx that weighs more than the moon, for my SKX, but since switching the Pepsi bezel out for a green one it lives on a green nato.

Also, obviously, get a 31trum/ JPW for it /plug

Thanks for the pointers. I thought it would probably be a NATO or a Perlon but as a few people on here have owned them thought I'd get some opinions and see if theres anything else out there. Obviously love the look of Murtle's starps and don't currently own a watch on leather so that is an option.

Would be interested to see pics of your SKX with a Green bezel. Sounds nice.

timefactors has some cool rubber straps too for that old school dive look

Needed to scratch the purchase itch and won a hand-wind Lord Marvel (hi-beat) on t'bay for £90, won't buy anything else until it arrives from Japan.

Sorry just seen this, I'm an omega stockist, checking availability for you .

I'm really interested in the new Seamaster 300 on a bracelet if you can quote a price? Christ knows I shouldn't but temptation is a bitch...

Grazie

^^ pm'd you both .

Sigh. Extend lease on flat and repair windows OR buy a Seamaster 300.

What would Mrs Hedge approve of most?

You can't tell the time with windows...

Sapphire Crystal > Glass

Thanks, I'll check them out. Think I'm leaning towards fabric (Nato/Zulu/Perlon) or rubber/Maratac. I would like a watch on a leather strap but if I ever decide to use the SKX for it's intended purpose, I don't want to ruin a nice strap.

Check out the Hirsch Extreme.

Old skool.

This just turned up on my doorstep. Love it. Love it love it love it. Everything that I wished my SKX007 was (hand winding, hacking, comfortable, indices/bezel/minute track line up) and more.

Gorgeous. A Turtle is on my list too. You keeping it on the rubber strap or changing it up?
