What time is it? Watches and horology

I am sure secondary boys still struggle with that... but they don't have such great music :)

Anyone pondering a James Bond Christmas?

Ewwwww fauxtina gross ew.

Shame, it’s quite nice otherwise.

Wow, yeah, that’s fully gash.

The actual thing does look better (and less brown) than the computer renders, to be fair.

I think it looks fine.

Lume looks to have too have a weird pink tone

Can't be doing with them hands

What’s the flesh colour called?
Prosthesis Pink?

I believe the Hoodwinkee term is “salmon-adjacent”.

Anything on a mesh bracelet is a win

I really rather like it but think the fauxtina bezel is that step too far and tips it into beige overload. The price though. The frigging price. £7,390 for the mesh!

Slightly fixed the Omega - although the hands are a bit heavy. Still - plain old lume looks better IMO

Anyone have any idea on age/reference of the attached pic? It's in a shoe repairs window near work... Bracelet looks loose but I quite like the rest of it. No idea what they are asking for it.

Looks like the 366.0827. Early ‘70s.

From a bit of googling it looks like they often get listed as “166.137” because that’s the number stamped in the caseback.

Here’s one: https://chrono24.app/omega/seamaster-diver-60m-cosmic-2000---automatic-1012-vintage-70s--id13007425.htm

Looks nice, I like the proper integrated bracelet.

A million times better. Think it could also lose the MOD broad arrow, too.

I bet it sells well. Sorry for being a sanctimonious broken record but there's a difference between something being badly designed and something that you don't personally like.

That watch doesn't look shit, you lot just don't like it.

I never wear this, which is a shame as it’s a nice watch, anyone interested in it?

Limited run of 300 Gnomon/Steinhart Ocean 39 Explorer, this is number 76. I can’t remember how much I paid for it but the internet will.

Nice watch! I’ve always liked it.

Huh. Quite like it. Wouldn’t buy it.

Interested too if panic changes his mind.

New Magrette has landed:
