What time is it? Watches and horology

Just seen the PO1. It's a wtafigo sort of watch.

I saw a leak of that and couldn’t believe it was real so didn’t post it here.

Makes more sense if it’s based on a specific prototype but still: no.

That khaki green Aquanaut is banging tho.

The Tudor P01 reminds me of the Müehle SAR Rescue timer

Or a Sinn

So Rolex have been able to fit the calibre 3235 into the 36mm Datejust. That’s a really big deal for me. Means it will eventually make its way into the OP 36. I’d go nuts for that.

Even though I’m not a fan of the cyclops, a black dial 3235 DJ 36 with smooth bezel on jubilee... mmm.

It does look a lot like a Sinn. But with a black bay dial photoshopped on.

I think you’re being a bit rough on Sinn, dat’s ugly.

Fun time chaps, will definitely go back. Highlights for me were a Heuer Carrera, Jedi Speedy and a Lemania mono-pusher. Freddo’s rose gold datejust is proper banging and some tasty pre-moon Speedy action but I expected nowt less!

Yeah, apologies to Herr Sinn.

Dial and hands on that Lemania were extraordinary. So clean it looked like modern fauxtina.

Thanks. I think my highlights were seeing your 145.016 and briefly wearing a PP Nautilus GMT.

That rose gold DateJust! Lush! So small though 😉

That Tudor though. Jeez. If it's been made as a true tool watch, why does it have the leather strap? I could actually get behind it, slightly, if it was on rubber.

I'm glad they're expanding on the BB32/36/41 line though. Quite like the black dial S&G BB41. Shame the BB36 has a gold dial though.

How many Black Bay variants are we on now? Think it was 50 something before this BW...

I think all three sizes come in either black dial or gold dial.

Ah, phew. Couldn't see that on the site. Trying to convince my girlfriend that she doesn't need her first watch to be a white 36mm OP and that a BB32 is a much better buy.

You could. It's great.

Hodinkee are sounding more and more satirical as the days go by. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/rolex-gmt-master-ii-batman-jubilee-bracelet-introducing

'There might be some people who will miss the ability to purchase a steel GMT on an Oyster bracelet, but the technical updates to this model make for more than a fair trade off. Plus, personally speaking I love the feel of the new Jubilee on the GMT and highly recommend you get yourself to an authorized dealer to try one on ASAP if you're skeptical.'

We all know that ADs don't have GMTs with the new Jubilee. Fuck off Hodinkee. So boring. The same goes for the article about the Tudor. It's so god damn ugly. Funny that they post the article before anyone from the Hodinkee team has seen or tried one on in the flesh...

Edit: just read it. Chief cheerleader Stevie P at his sycophantic worst. “Regulated to an incredible -2/+2 a day!” Like literally every single watch they make, Steven, yeah, we know.

that Tudor... after last years success they could just introduce some new colours to the bb58, or maybe a ceramic bezel, or a new unriveted bracelet, you know something easy that people would love but nooo, they wanted a challenge and built an ugly modded SKX.

SKX looks much better..
