What time is it? Watches and horology

That channel is getting worse. The guy needs to take a leaf out of Tay Zonday's book and move away from the mic to breath in.

On the GMT hunt, I had a Bremont Alt1-Z, which is GMT and a chrono, for 5 years and the thing was bombproof and super accurate. Bremont are a bit of a marmite brand (and the model is not one of their most loved - you'd need to be comfortable with cut-off numerals, which is definitely a thing for some peeps) but love 'em or hate 'em, the quality of the watch was superb and if you're lucky you could pick one up secondhand for £2k or just over.

Anybody interested in a Seiko Sumo (sbdc001/sbdc031) - it the older version with 'Automatic' not 'X'.
Good condition but unfortunately I've managed to scratch the bezel insert but I will include a spare one I bought but not fitted. Come with original strap not used and replacement I purchased (I used the original end links as the replacement ones didn't fit)

Potentially yes, how many shekels are you after?

£250 plus postage (strap was £80ish, bezel £20)

Unfortunately too rich for my blood, lovely watch though.

Needs a crystal polish

Does your dad know you took it?

We had a really unceremonious handover where he handed it to me and said, "probably needs a service"

Lol
Nice watch though... Enjoy the costly services. (Fml)

That's come out grumpier than I meant. Soz!
Lovely watch!

Noice, dial looks an unusual colour, got any pics in day light?
I have a weakness for gold indices in silver cases.

Looks a similar vintage to my Thunderbird, Alsal did a good job of servicing mine

Yeah had my 80s Seamaster serviced at Alsal and had a great experience so will take it there. It's keeping excellent time at the moment so probably not required immediately.

I'll take a couple and post them up. It's hard to get a decent pic in the day light because of the crystal!

@Dramatic_Hammer - glycine airman is also worth a look. Lots of variations so do some reading on the differences.

Love it, new crystal with a service and that’ll be amazing.

Wouldn’t wait until the timekeeping starts going, if it’s not had a service in ages it might be running dry and causing damage that will be more expensive to fix down the line. Lovely watch, knew it would get @inchpincher excited.

I quite like that but I want something a bit cleaner looking.

This is winning so far but I’m not sure about the massive size and poking-out crown. I’d like the GMT hand to be more obvious too.

Watch is nice too 😘

I fucking hate gold on timepieces but that is lovely, your old man's a good bloke... 🖤
