What time is it? Watches and horology

That is a nuts price.

I won't say how much I handed over for one of those in yellow gold today!

I've tried this on at a few airports. It's very nice for the price but haven't quite decided whether to get it or not yet.

Last Breath is well worth a watch. Gives a pretty scry insight into what can happen working in that kind of environment. It must be like working on the moon.

I once sold a car to a guy who was a saturation diver near the end of his career. All of the joints on his hands were all blow up and swollen and he said it was as a result of breathing mixed gas for so long.

I know guys who breathe gas at festivals

New watch day tomorrow

Can't see pic?

Not sure u wanna.

Ummmmm....

Anyone here think this happened like only yesterday? (Two weeks man! Two weeks!)

I missed it, what are you getting?

Really enjoyed this well-written Hoodwinkee piece on the Citizen Caliber 0100:

That’s some watch - being that accurate but also basically running forever is insane. I really like the design as well.

watch arrived, good news it appears to work. Bad new it appears the bezel has been glued on or requires removing and a good cleaning. Does the endlink rattle on your bracelet against the watch?
Not sure I will keep it if I can't get the bezel to rotate...

Those lugs are the tits.

My friend just managed to talk someone out of the last one in store in liberty so that he could buy it. Ludicrous price.

Yeah, and I think the dial and hands are incredibly well designed too. I’d shorten the minute markers, that’s about it.

I like it a lot too.

Not £8,500 like though! Hopefully they'll do a steel version at some point.

I read the article, I bought the hype, I went to buy one...

£7k for the titanium one???

Get. To. Fuck.

I saw a very nice Ti Citizen in Alsal today. Think it was about £200! Radio controlled too...

Speaking of Alsal.

Popped in to pick up my new watch today. Glad I waited three months for a sapphire one.

What a belter, dibs!

Looks good. The endlinks are a little bit jingley jangley but easily tweaked if you pop the bracelet off and gently bend the tabs at the rear.
The bezel is a friction fit (doesn’t click) so is bound to be full of crud, there’s shirley a load of videos of how to pop it off and clean it out, the bracelet looks like it’s got its share of wrist cheese too.

Oof, nice.

The second hand locking in to place to make sure it always perfectly lines up sounds so satisfying.

Stunner - jealous.
