What time is it? Watches and horology

ceramic

Ah of course!

Ceramic, the millennials' titanium.

Terrible, sorry 🙈

anyone got a Tudor oyster/oysterdate they want to sell me? I fancy building myself a 'vintage ranger'...

Is ok, I don’t like it either.
Much rather have the heritage chrono instead . Or a moonwatch.

On the left. Perfection in watch form.

Thank you. That’s the one I bought for my daughter. “Transition” ie last of the tritium dials first of the 1861 movement.

Isn't that the tritium one that you were planning on selling a while back?

What is the ref @ejay2.0 ? Cannot find it.

Can’t remember, may have done when I was thinking of ways to fund the purchase of the Apollo 17 limited edition. Then my little girl reminded me it was actually hers.
And the Apollo 17 STILL hasn’t turned up.
May be buying a FOIS ( first Omega in space ) numbered edition next week tho.....

Not sure , will check when I get home. Not sure wether it was different than any other of the same era . But it’s deffo an 1861, and obviously tritium .

Very nice, I just googled 'speedmaster tritium' to see if the hands were replaced but they all seem to appear white-ish compared to the markers on the dial. Do you know how come?

I ask because swoon. What a watch!

What's the difference

Tritium dials stopped being used 1996/ 97 and 1861 movement replaces 861 in 1997/98 I believe.

It’s not the hands that are the same as the luminous markers , difficult to see in the picture but the luminous inserts in the hands are the same shade as the hour markers. I bought from the original owner who was given it new and never used it. STS serviced it. The case is new . This is the original bracelet , unworn.

Thanks , my daughter loves it. I was trying to find a birth year watch for her(2000) but when offered this I just had to have it. And I fucking stole it!!

Beautiful <3

If you ever see another one, perhaps not in such perfect shape, let me know. If I'm going to buy one, it'll be one of those I think.

Oh and I’ve got a moonwatch book that comes with new big box signed by an Apollo 15 astronaut when he came to the UK. I’m a bit space mad .

Will do.

Ooh. Al Worden. That mission was about 5 months before I was born.

An old family friend programmed guidance for the Apollo missions. Somehow she missed out on being a lego action figure.

Sweet. I have one of the big official NASA portraits signed as well.

Casio G-shock, 3063 model.

Am I able to buy replacement parts?
I'd quick like to replace the bezel and the strap (as mine is a lovely (cough) yellow colour.

On ebay probably

I think 3063 is the module not the model.
Is it Square?
If yes it'll be a M5xxx model.

eBay will most likely have a replacement bezel / strap, but pricing might hint at just getting a new M5600
