What time is it? Watches and horology

Yes. I have heard even longer...

lol

I have the SKX013 and it's a great size.. I bought it primarily as I have a load of 20mm straps to use on it.. lives on jubilee and then natos.. doesn't look too small.. I also have a Tag Carrera chrono, and the SKx013 is grand in comparison..

@Technics100 Nice strap. I took the plunge last night and ordered a SKX007J, it took some searching but eventually found a new one. Will see how I get on with it size-wise and worst case trade it for the smaller 013 (although no J version available). Saw a few okay looking photos of the 007 on 6.5" wrists, so should be okay with my 7".

Been stalking this thread for sometime, so glad to have finally decided on and bought a nice mechanical watch without breaking the bank, which I thought was unavoidable with this lark.

Good choice!

I got the J version as well. There's no mechanical difference between them though, it's just a designation for the region it will be exported to – in this case, Asia.

Ta! I thought this was interesting, listing the minutiae between the two.

Excellent keyboard

You're normally fine to start with, it's when the bug bites and you keep getting more that it ramps up!

When in Rome...

Cheers, the orange picks up the diver writing on the watch..I have loads of natos, black, silver black, red and black.. bond nato.. my watch count is currently 9!!! yeah I came to get that one by a very badly listed auction on ebay, it was new old stock!!

what is the keyboard? Whats it attached to ?

Clearly it's part of a transport ship in sector 9, carrying space marines and power loaders.

I'm saying Trident.

I've been snooping around the WUS forum and there's a lot of love for Damasko and Sinn tool watches. Anyone here got one?

The clue is in the username...

well? What is it?

Air Traffic Controller?

Surely some breach of policies there? :oP

Clearly on that spaceship from Alien.

How should I send my watch to Steinhart, in the original box or heavily swaddled in bubble wrap in a jiffy bag?

Did they not tell you how to send it? Original box provides best protection...

No, and I'm too lazy to ring again.

That's what I thought

.

did you all take turns pretending to be captain kirk or was it all very professional?

That is amazing... Is it real??
