What time is it? Watches and horology

Forgot to say thanks for the info regarding the size of the squale. I always loved my skx but got annoyed with it's height.

Also, thanks @Jingle_Jangle for the pic... Must stop replying to threads just as I'm about to sleep. Always forget things!

No worries - the thickness of the 1521 is only slightly less than the SKX007, they’re both in the region of 13mm. I just think it wears a bit nicer because of the lug shape and the way the case thins at the side - it’s got a bit of a bubble back.

That does look good. The satin/bead blasted finish is exactly what I'm after. Expert modelling btw...

Thanks love 💅🏻

Nice.

It really is a very good pic -it's got me looking at Squale now, dammit.

That’s one of the first times I think the Milanese strap looks great, guess it’s because of the lug shape.

Oooooh what do we have here then ?

Its a box for an Omega Speedmaster of some sort

A box which appears to be wearing braces.

That it is

How does it look? Hard to tell from that photo.

Didn’t get chance to take many pictures as I promised client he could “unbox” as it arrived. In the flesh it was lovely the bracelet particularly and I know the other bits are a matter of taste but they are all executed with real finesse. I loved it.

However having said that , it’s not a moonwatch so whilst it was a lovely thing I wouldn’t wear it .
This is what I have on today and it’s probably my favourite omega I have ever bought.

Now that is a looker

Thankyou.
It's actually my daughters , I bought it for her as a birthday present but she just gone off to university so I am "caretaking" it. That one is from 1996/97 so last of tritium dial very first of the 1861 movement.
Mines from 2014.

Not mine.

Thanks a lot. Yea the Milanese is a tough one, I had tried it on a couple of watches and didn’t suit well. The lugs on the old 30T are pinched a bit narrower than 18mm so I couldn’t try it. Seems to work well on this one with its linen (ish) dial.

Would

Two great looking Speedmasters. My preference is obviously the real moonwatch.
I had a look at Omegas website today and there are a lot of nice versions of the Speedmaster. When I win the lottery, I will be busy buying!
Until then, drooling will continue.

Any aspiring Jim Bonds will need to acquire one of these.

Can't figure out if I'm high or if I actually like that.

Shameless plug but selling an Onega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/338995/

I like it too

All of those Bond watches we had on order have now been allocated!!
That one really seems to have caught peoples attention, I think probably because the watch it's based on is soooo lovely.
Oh and rumours appear to be rife about a price increase on Omega from October 1st ..........
I couldn't possibly comment, but if anybody wants anything before give me a shout.
