What time is it? Watches and horology

Someone buy this! I'd consider buying it back if I wasn't currently buying a new kitchen.

Whats your timescale?

I'm around from the 16th-24th March but will be there for a night on the 6th as well... Let me know...

Yeah. I meant for your packing deadline.

Depends on some tings chez moi. Don't want to waste your time if the stars are not aligned.

Leave here on the 5th...

Cool. Will have an answer before that. We head out for hols right before that. PM me if I go all quiet.

Nice Tudor, great proportions -hard to believe it's 32mm.

Keep looking at one of these as a cheap field watch.
Argos have them on sale for £89.99...

What are your thoughts on this? Gold is brave but I kinda like it

Gold is great, and that's a lovely watch.

Hot.

I'll begrudgingly admit that the font is "interesting", but beyond that it's pure Tony Blair Terry Pratchett.

Interesting pocket watch conversion. Interesting in that they haven't tampered with the layout of the dial and have, what appears to be neatly added the lugs

Make a good driving whaaaatsch?

The new Cordura strapped G-Shocks are rather tasty.
Will pick up a DW6900 at some point.

Link ?

matte black, reversed LCD.
I has a square (gx56) and an analogue (silver MT-G) my ancient DW003 is dead in a draw somewhere, so I have a vacancy for a round Digital G Shock.

Do neg LCD drain the bat faster than pos? :o)

No, neg LCDs drain the battery SLOWER than pos because there's less screen to light up. Duh.

Orly.

Negative displays are made by using polarising filters over a regular LCD screen.
Or something.
You can undo it by removing the filter (if you dismantle the watch) or add it to a regular display to make it neg (if you dismantle the watch)
It's normally just a sticker on the scrn

I used to do that to my school calculators.

It really is trivial.

Though my favourite G-shocks are the ones without any LCDs, all of the advantages of G-shock durability, battery, accuracy, solar, etc... but with nice mechanical hands that are visible in any light.
