What time is it? Watches and horology

It seems there are plans for a quartz chronograph at some point, don't know what movement it will be:

One of the Seiko mechaquartz movements was mentioned as a possibility by Eddie Platts. Hoping it happens

is that a USB port on the case?

Next to the helium escape valve? Thin is some ID serial tag QR shiz.

@soul I do love a gold watch, nice Seamaster. Like @regal said I’d probably lean more towards an early Omega sword hands, wavy dial for that kind of diver which are great value in the secondhand market. Not a fan of the Christopher Ward logo and 🔱 hand.

I’m looking for an omega flightmaster. Anyone seen any nice ones floating around the place?

loads but you'll need north of £4k

edit: do you mean vintage, or new?

explain

Chinese economy dips, Swiss watch exports dip.

No change in the price.... We get screwed anyway.

They sent the wrong bezel. Like, not even the same range of G Shock. And I fly out in a few hours. Great. FFS.

Will see what their C/S is like now.

Please could we have units of measurement on the axis and also cite the source? Not saying they are but these could be entirely fictional data. If they’re real I’m interested

C/S communication is currently good. Will see how this gets resolved by the time I get back in a couple of weeks.

I saw one a while ago. I’ll try and find out where it went.

Nggggggg......

PRS 40 automatic arrived. I'm chuffed as mintballs with it. The case really looks like it has been machined out of a solid billet of stainless steel. It came with a nice two watch case...room for a PRS 82?

Checked with the guy who had one. Unfortunately it’s gone. And it was in great condition too. Apologies for any hope building!

It’s their own Chinese indicator so: ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Getting late but still my Friday.

Thanks. Interesting find. Do you work in finance?

By the way, I think what’s implied by the graphic is misleading. Here’s the CLI for all OECD counties (red), China (purple) and Switzerland (blue) for the same period:

They’re so remarkably similar you could equally make the argument for many other countries.

Financial journalist. China is so crucial to the world economy right now that there’s strong correlations between Chinese CLIs and those for other major industrialised economies, so yeah, that research shop is likely overstating their case for marketing purposes. But I thought it was a fun graph.
