What time is it? Watches and horology

A child is wearing the £8000 Omega. That's why it looks so bad.

Ha, this. Literally a child’s wrist.

Cheers, yep medallion is in good nick. I thought your Elnix dial looked great and then the seller dropped the price of this to ridiculous.

And it's loose! He's using his arm against his body to hold it! He's scared, poor little rabbit.

Maybe you'll like a nice vintage Heuer?

I wanted to find a good gender assumption meme for you, but the internet let me down.

I will google them. Thanks.

You're right... At that age they could be anything.

Anything is going to look shit on Sheldon Cooper tbh

I am here if you need me , sold one yesterday waiting for it's replacement to arrive today.

Thanks.

Sorry buddy totally missed this - I’ll message you details this eve

Does it need to be a new one? there's alway some on tz-uk. I'm not a huge speedy fan but there was one on there a while ago, a Schumacher edition with a yellow dial. It was strange, as in so odd that it would probably offend the purists and was so off message (fully murdered-up time pieces) that I loved it. That's the only one that's piqued my interest. Anyway, why not just buy a used one? Allow for a service and you can always sell it on if you don't get on with it.

It’s really whatever takes my fancy although price will be a consideration.

so i kind of accidentally bought a watch.. condition not good!!. but i love the model dial and case. do you think a service can restore it? if yes where can i sent it?

Why not just buy something you really like regardless of model? It sounds a bit like you've decided you want a speedmaster and you're trying really hard to convince yourself you actually like it.

This.

What am I missing here?

IRL it doesn't look good on you and you don't actually like it.

Move on.

Looks like water damage. On the plus side it makes the dial quite interesting! Have somebody check on the movement to make sure it's clean, I think. Good luck :)

well the dial was supposed to be like this. so i don't know if that's dirt or discoloration from whatever.

Like I said, probably water damage. Interestingly the date wheel looks clean so the movement might've been cleaned and repaired already.

or even changed if it was water. says its running well

If you want to flip it, let me know. I'd enjoy working on that.

Looks fun, get the case gold plated to match.

Dial might clean up.
But I think it looks nice and special like it is.
Leave it and call it tropical/patina/that Japanese expression?

Looks great as it is!

If you're prepared to risk losing the "Grand Quartz" I would expect that to clean up with a mild detergent solution and cotton buds, or even in an ultrasonic cleaner
