What time is it? Watches and horology

You can't really do anything about a bracelet on a vintage watch. Sure, its a bit worn and saggy but most of us born in 1983 are too.

New starp for the Polaris:

That's insane. What size?

That's also nice. What's the brand? Happy birthday btw!

the case is 45.7mm wide, lug to lug is 52mm, and the fucker is 16,5mm thick. And it weighs almost a quarter of a kilo.

Thank you. Tis Mijmoj. Suprise from the wifey. 😎

HB. That is a very cool thing.

(it also limits you to 3 watches, evar - subtle hint?)

A stand (or is it a rack?) like that would be awesome. Just afraid it does not go well with two idiot cats, and a two year old idiot.

Hahaha

Thats what I thought when Jana bought me a box with 20 spots. Its a hint to slim down the collection.

Although to be fair, the watch boxes take up much more room that the watches.

Ha. Thanks. The Tudor is on the winder. 😎 @skunkworks I haz 2.5 yr old an a 6 yr old ejuts. Looks solid enuf!

Has anyone used https://www.antiques-atlas.com/thevintagewristwatch/ or http://www.oxfordpocketwatches.co.uk

Or even better, know of places in London that sell old pocket watches (I've tried Alsal and Austin Kaye with no luck). Knowing very little about them, I'd prefer someone I could go in and look at them.

Steinhart has arrived, glad I went for the 39mm, perfect size for me.

What is the watch on the far left? I am always a big fan of lug holes.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and discussion was turned to how many watches is an acceptable number (obvs completely subjective) and I like one guy said “Five plus..”
Five proper nice keepers in rotation plus any sentimental/beaters/broken.

That is a cool watch, very futuristic.

Happy Birthday, I like your watch holder although they might get a bit dusty. Needs some small individual bell jars!

I don't like NATO straps.

That is a LOLex MWC. Cheap like the budgie. 😎

Thank you. Yes, apparently u can get a case for it. 😎
