What time is it? Watches and horology

No, this is just a dream.

Too many red pills, CB?

Wearing my tatty O&W Flieger today, feels good...

Way too big for my puny teenage girl wrists tho'... Phone camera makes it look EVEN BIGGER!!

Better than your blue pills ;-)

I was thinking that the one type I'm missing is a Flieger / pilots watch in my collection...

Sinn seem to have a few nice ones. Any other suggestions?

IWC, Sinn...

@ChainBreaker I think the Damasko DA36 is pretty sweet.

Ah. Explains the username. I spent a lot of time flying with FAA Part 135 operators many years ago. Fixed and rotary. I have overheard some hilarious exchanges with ATCs. You tin pushers are alright.

That is good looking!

I'm especially impressed with the resolution of the screens in the background!

Yep, 1024 x 768 = mind blown.

Well, the beast is back from service and looking better than ever. Now I have the unwelcome conundrum of working out which one to move on. The 300m is (relatively) more versatile but the 1000m feels a bit more special and exotic. Can't justify keeping both. Decisions, decisions.

You have an interesting definition of versatile! I'd definitely keep the 1000!
Also, i'd be tempted to mod it with a bezel from the new Turtle reissue (black+gold) to match the rest of the watch (assuming its the same dimensions, obvs)

Get rid of the 'orrible gold one.
In fact I will save you the trouble, I'll take it off your hands, no charge.

cant see the images sadly...

nm... works on my phone

Flushing rolexes is now a thing

...makes sense

FFS. How am I supposed to send a watch overseas?

£70 minimum is the best I can find for a courier and RM/PF won't cover anything over £250.

I can't tell you how tempted I am to just throw it in the sea and buy another Omega

found this recently. it needs a crown but its ticking sweetly. longines flagship

Can u not under warranty ask for a full refund and fuck Steihfart the fuck off?

I mean versatile in the context of the 1000m, obviously it's not quite a JLC ultra-thin! Turtle bezels are quite different IIRC. Besides, this one is TiN coated which means it's ubercooler. I'm going to wear them both in rotation for a few weeks and see which one 'speaks to me'.

RM web site says they'll send it for £36.24 insured for £500.
