What time is it? Watches and horology

thanks

Updated with on-wrist too.

good job, soldier

Just goes to show everyone can drop a bollock including rolex.

Much bargains @BleakRefs Speedmaster, somebody grab a bargain.

I know I shouldn’t say it... but it’s been comfortable enough that I didn’t notice it on my wrist all afternoon. I was hoping it would be horrible and itchy to have an excuse to pay up for a better perlon. Unfortunately it’s fine.

Good spot.

Just ordered an SKX009K2.

Powersave mode really got me this morning.

seem pretty cheap / large discounts - they a good retailer??

The consensus seems to be: great, as long as nothing goes wrong, in which case getting them to resolve it from Singapore can be a hassle. That’s why I only ever use them for relatively cheap watches, but I’ve never had a problem. Always lightning fast delivery and in good condition.

Choose the Royal Mail delivery at £6 or whatever it is, instead of the free DHL - you’ll probably not be hit for import duties that way, with the DHL you definitely will.

Where were you a few days ago? I've got £42 to pay :(

After 2 years (never seen water) I'm upgrading SKX007J if anyone's interested. £120 posted? Comes with italian seude strap and all the bumf.

Missed out on a Seiko srpb99 samurai PADI edition for $379 AUD yesterday. In the time I was debating the purchase it sold out. Just click buy next time!

I have the same but with a black ceramic bezel, have had a black rubber strap on it for ages - really like the watch, but I have a snooty relative who gives me shit for it being a Rolex copy every time I wear it around him... which is tedious.

Shove some frozen sausages down his car's exhaust pipe, that'll learn him...

Do Hodinkee restock sold out straps or is it a case of once that particular piece/colour of leather is used that’s it?

Tell them that Rolex copied the hands and bezel from somebody else so they can get fucked.

JDM goodness turned up in the form of a SARB033 this morning. Fitted a Fluco ostrich strap and loving life.

Looks v. nice. Where did you manage to find it in stock?

Thanks, the size is bob on for me I think. Bought it on eBay.co.uk from an Irish seller. I bought one with a white face (SARB035) a few months ago for my brother before they stopped production and that was £90 cheaper!

thanks for that info - seriously considering this :

I would. I wear an SKX013 all the time, which is the slightly smaller version, it’s great. The jubilee bracelet feels a bit jangly in the hand, but is really comfortable and doesn’t pull hairs.
