What time is it? Watches and horology

As an influencer do you get a straight fee or commish? ;)

I sent Charlie Fowler (the owner) a message on Instagram a few months ago and he never replied.

Was only pointing out that the crown tube could do with a tiny smear of grease. Perhaps he took offence.

Or thought it was a euphemism and blocked you.

Never said they didn’t, but actual genuine opinions do count. Also, did you forget to send the smiley winky face on the insta dm? Maybe that’s why you didn’t get a reply.

The white one is pretty cool;

But I do prefer the internal bezel one you posted. Something about the combination of sparsity and a lot of numbers on the OG doesn't quite work for me. I'd like either a bit more or a bit less, if that makes sense.

Minimum would be Signed-For

Just FYI according to the grumpy RM clerk, Signed-For service does not cover watches & jewellery.

Giz a shout if you're up for buying my Model 1. It's a great watch, I just don't wear it for the above wonky-eyed reasons. Black face, silver case, cognac strap, like this:

In more aspirational browsing I came across what might be the best dual time watch, I've seen.

(apologies in advance to Soul who will be triggered by the numerals ;)

That is sensational

Watch blogs always gush over Lange, but seriously, how on point is that?

• clear layout.
  
• Goldilocks sizing.
  
• Hidden 2nd hour hand - without doubt the best way to display another TZ
  
• Quick set pushers.
  
• beautiful finishing.
  
  

I also love that they've effortlessly added a GMT function, that is barely noticeable.

FFS.

Stunning watch ruined by inconsistent numerals.

Wankers.

You know that theory that it's actually Liam Neeson who is the bad guy in Taken? Or the Mitchell and Webb sketch, "are we the bad guys"?

That's you.

@BleakRefs interested! Will PM

£23k for that dual-time A. Lange & Sohne

Ha. No your a cunt etc.

If you are looking for a watch, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of OCD requirements; requirements I have acquired over a very long career. Requirements that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you post a no numeral Calatrava now, that'll be the end of it.

For reals? Wow, good job I’ve always sent by SD and factored it into the price. I’d have sent a bomber by signed-for, but not much else.

Secretly @Stonehedge is their major shareholder.

I see your lange and raise you an IWC

Maratec SR1

aspirational browsing

Although idk how well they hold their value, as the older version seems to be between €10-15k used.

Still it's not something I'm going to have to worry about for a long time, if ever.

It just stood in such contrast to the latest PP dual-time offerings, all of which have been fucked up in some way my their marketing departments input.

@Soul ;)

raise

It was a decent price that one. Needed an original hand set and crown though.

£12 inc free postage and spring bars? And through my door the next day... best money I’ve spent in a long time, ta @Stonehedge

Also cleaning out all the wrist cheese from between the lugs 🤤

(fryface) I will equal your offering and up the ante with this offering...

Unless you're making a base joke... Which I can appreciate.

Thanks for the offer. It's nice but if I'm going to do it I'll probably contact them direct to see if I can get a triple black version a la Teenslain style.
