Lordy

I'm trying to get an 18mm Omega deployment clasp, eBay is a total minefield. Anyone selling one? Or know of somewhere selling one at a reasonable-ish price?

Ok give me a shout closer to when you want.
They are like rocking horse shit at the mo though , we don't have a list on them but that one only came in on Tuesday and will be gone very quickly.
I didn't realize how popular they had become.

Thanks for sharing (drool icon)

It looks slightly nicer than the Apple Watch - understatement of the century.

Re. Apple Watch - it is great for doing what it does. Useful tool for a lot of things. But - almost every Watch on this thread has more ‘class’ and visual appeal than it. As with most things - horses for courses.
I’m pleased I got it but I’m still saving for the Omega. 😀

Do you mean the sort that you fit to a leather strap?

'Slept on' buying a Tintin at a great price, it's now gone :(

You got an email? Might be easier to do it that way :)

I think I'd be ok with those if they didn't have the hour hand that looks like a road sign.

the sales woman looked so good that i almost bought it. 2400 euro with the leather strap, vat free.

Great article, thanks for linking that. This pull quote nails it:

“The watches that came out of Cheltenham had to be hand-finished. You see, they didn’t replace the factory’s machines and tooling as often as the Swiss did, so there were lots of little variations in tolerances that had to be ironed out.”

I believe this is the hand that swung it for me. (Over Mercedes or Omega)

right wrist?

Haha! Really you need both the Tudor and the speedmaster. Check out the usual places for a 79220n, worth hunting down if you’re considering a new one and definitely available if you’re willing to invest a little effort

That explorer is just wrong.

Your rong

Truth!

In other news I have a parcel waiting for me. If I’m lucky it’s the 4th watch in this post https://timeandtidewatches.com/who-to-follow-jackwongyf/
