What time is it? Watches and horology

.

I think they are readily available. G Shock shop in Covent Gdn should have them.
Fairy cheap too at £100

"finally...time for cocaine and strippers!"

^ That link worked yesterday. Looks like someone is 300k lighter. Own up. 😎

Speaking of big watch purchases, I'm meeting up with a friend who just bought a rare Patek for £300k next week. I'll see if he'll let me try it on and post some wrist shots.

I don't necessarily like his favoured watch style but I envy his financial ability to build an awesome collection.

Can anyone recognise this watch? What's the significance of fourth word on this? Above seamaster. edit: better picture.. says "Meister" as indicated below

Meister?

Ah yes... what is Meister? A series or editions?

Company name, maybe?

Meister - combining form meaning “a person expert in or renowned for” something specified by the initial element (often used derisively)........

Think I have my answer

I think they're limited, a lot of them are just for the Japanese market so you're looking at grey imports.

Amazon US has a few of them but you may get hit with import charges

Ohh... Found one from Spain for £96.

That's the one.

I find G-Shocks to be too 'busy' normally but I like the blackness about this one.

Goth Watch...

Anyone know what it would cost to get a new hesalite crystal put on a Moonwatch?

There is a crack in mine that I have just seen, no idea how it happened however.

^ which is why I'll never wear a watch that doesn't have a sapphire crystal.

Sapphire crystal being crack proof?

I've never managed to even scratch it, even when falling off my bike and taking a gouge out out of the bezel on my Tag.

I thought sapphire was more likely to smash than scratch?

That may be true, but I've never met or heard of anyone smashing their sapphire crystal. And if I couldn't even scratch it in 10 years of everything from being rubbed against skateboard grip tape, to being rammed in to concrete at high velocity, I'm happy to think it's basically invincible.

I know people who've smashed a crystal by dropping their watch, particularly onto tiles.

@sumo try dropping a chainset on it.

I seem to be good at that at the moment.

Dude! Too soon!
