What time is it? Watches and horology

Let me check the pile, I may still have a few old copies of JFW from a few years ago she’s welcome to. Not sure. Otherwise there is an insane pile of art books from my degree, that I may try to coax some kinda deal with you, for pennies off.

That’s very kind . I am sure we can sort something out!

The mags may be lost to the ages, but my book collection (mostly first editions, photography monographs) has a bunch of art collections and Taschen books on the side. If she has a particular interest beyond pure jewellery, I may have something. Fashion, certainly I have a few.

Talking about watches with shit depreciation.

Probably even worse than Zenith and GS put together.

Fashion, and I believe something called surface pattern design and two other things she’s thinking of .

I’ll pm you tomorrow with some photos of the bookshelves, and list out a few.

Little bit of a fan of the Overseas, now's a good time to get one, the internet is taking a big old dump on VC at the moment.

It will be popular in a decade because no one bought one.

Thankyou.

Had the case back off of my mates one to take a look around a few weeks ago, absolutely wikid in there. He's got the strap version, looks great and love the sound these movements make make!

I think the trouble with a lot of the Grand Seikos was the big SEIKO on them at the top.

Now they've stopped doing this they look way better (but it does mean I can't find a nice second-hand one to buy to annoy ejay).

Early Friday special, needs a new battery.

Rad - I'm a sucker for an orange seconds hand.

What's MECA-Q? Some kind of mechanical/quartz hybrid?

Friday has caught me unwares this week.

The shame of it!

Yeah, is something to do with the watch movement being battery powered but the chronograph being mechanical (but still powered by the quartz movement)
All marketing bullshit, I'm sure

A small birthday present for a good friend of mine. Should make a nice beater watch

The shame!

Even the quartz watches are impractical! A quartz watch with a mechanical chrono that's powered by the quartz?! For shizzle!

Haven't worn this for a while.

Oh my

How comes - I must’ve missed something?

Superb. Take care of it!

I am, don't worry! Had it serviced by a local watch guy not that long ago, he said it was in very good condition inside.

It's pissing down with rain so the decision to not go outside today has been made

Lovely.

SKX013 on a padded cordovan strap today.
