What time is it? Watches and horology

It really is fantastic. Have you considered selling it on Reddit?

Ima PM you

Hadn’t thought about that, thanks!

If you need any pointers, PM me. Have made lots of sales and have good feedback Am also happy to assist in a US sale. (Coming home in two weeks.) People on there have cash to burn.

Thanks. The problem for me with reddit is that every time I get sucked in to r/WatchesCircleJerk and lose two hours

Just two hours!

Got a bargain lightly preloved black bay blue on leather deployant coming in next tuesday if anybody is looking for one.
Think it was purchased in Jan , had to go back under warranty, the client shit the bed and exchanged for something else.
Pics to follow but you all know what one looks like.

Thanks, never heard of that being a thing. I wonder if I can get the seller to point a geiger counter at it...

@Stonehedge this has reminded me I really need to get this 1972 Seiko serviced (huge sentimental value also, doubt it's ever been serviced). Winner if I can get it done for not too much ££

It's a beauty. Does it keep time?

Pics of that Oyster Perpetual please…

(The Seiko is very nice too)

@Stonehedge cheers. I only ever wear it for a day at a time so I haven't really noticed if it loses a few minutes but it always seems fine. I'll wear it for a few days and see :)

@Regal it's a 1970s ref 6430 and it's tiny at 30.5mm. Would have been a big stretch for my grandparents when they got it for my dad's 21st. I have the box and papers.
Interestingly the Seiko was free from some kind of magazine or cigarette loyalty scheme and belonged to my great grandad.

You need to test any quartz watch on a quartz testing machine like one made by Witschi. You can't just make assumptions that a certain component is bad without making some measurements first. It's a five minute job for a competent watchmaker with the correct equipment to make a simple diagnosis.

Ah, it’s a Speedking. Really nice. Thanks!

Apparently it’s Friday. As usual, I’ll avoid darkening the thread with my Apple Watch.

Friday pics please.

(Ejay - pic please! I am dogged! 😁)

As it's such a grey day here in London I'm wearing something sunny today:

Off canoeing and camping in Wales for three days. Torrential rain forecast. This somehow seemed appropriate for the trip.
