What time is it? Watches and horology

Quartz?

I freaking hope not at that price point!

Oh, you mean the movement

Where do you guys get your nato-straps from? So much horrible stuff out there.

Watchworx.

Silvermans now sell CWC ones. Also, Phoenix make the issued ones.

Watch gecko do reasonable natos.

Supernato from monsterwatches 👌👌

I should really be posting nice watches I suppose

This was A GOOD read.

Thanks.
For those who, like me, aren't fussy about brand or authenticity then that gecko shop is deffo the place to start.
EDIT: avoid it like the plague.

Also, does anybody do a stretchy perlon? I'd love to have strap made like that Rapha belt.

Not sure how stretchy you want but these are great. Only problem is that it loosens up when wet - not so great surfing but easy to adjust.

Tried on the Nomos Orion in both 35 and 38mm today. 100% 38mm looked and felt way better even on my lame 6.5inch wrists.

Really need to be seen in real life to be appreciated.

eBay £5

@Chalfie A good read but a few observations: 1. $4k for 4.3 days? I'm in the wrong line of work. 2. Unnecessary sniffiness regarding quartz watches. 3. Normal people don't wear a Black Bay down the local baths.

Hi there,

This is the first time I've ever posted in this thread! So excuse the ignorance!

About a month ago I had my grandads omega seamaster stolen :( the insurance money has come and it's coming up to my birthday so I wanted to treat myself to something nice!

Obviously I would love to replace the stolen omega with another omega but the budget is more around the £700-£1000 mark unfortunately so they are pretty much out of the budget. Day to day I wear a 43mm citizen eco-drive that works well and it looks pretty alright.

I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on other possible watches for the above price and 40mm-43mm? Below are three watches that I have found and like and think are pretty much what I want. I ride to college everyday, but not far, so it just has to withstand some potholes etc. As for features it just needs to tell the time and day date is preferable but not everything.

Any help or advice would be great :)

Thanks!

Isaac.

Buy @>>>>>> Tudor.

32mm... But thanks, bro!

Do you know what kind of omega Seamaster it was?

Don't they start at about a grand plus change?? If not could you reccomend a model?

Cheers

Believe it was a seamaster 300 from the sixties? I'll try and find a photo

It was like this but in silver not gold!

Thanks

Maybe I'm out of touch with prices but you should be able to pick up something similar and well within your budget quite easily...
