What time is it? Watches and horology

I really, really appreciate that.

New page fail. Pretty sure I posted photos before of at least two of three flags watches in water. Two of three have actually broken from user mistreatment, and need repair. My smashed bezel G-shock saw water, and certainly the old Rotary watches did too.

Literally nothing to hand with a water resistance rating to play this game. Brb

I've worn an Oris 65 in the bath but I'm not taking a photo.

I didn't realise that we are playing a water game today. I'll try again.

Dangerously close to being submerged imho.

I've swam in my SKX and all my G Shocks.

My daily driver is the MTG G Shock and carries plenty of scratches on the bezel. It is also the most expensive watch I have bought and I am not precious about it.
(I actually have trainers that cost a fifth of the price and I keep them in a box and only wear them when it's dry)

I wasn’t ripping on the Rolex in the slightest I’m just saying that the subs and deep sea we see are weekend or treasured watches and seamaster 300 is a piece of kit. Not exclusively but in the main .
And I do use mine in the water when I was last somewhere to use it , istrian coast last year it was in the sea all the time.

Hahahaha

I took this beaut down to 30m a few months ago. I hate taking watches off because I lose them instantly.

I'm a big fan of those Casios. About £15 aren't they? Excellent watch for the money.

Wore this in the rain once. Still working...

Now THAT is a divers’ watch.

Tea shot wins the week for me. Heat & steam is supposed to not be great for watch seals in general though. Just saying. Also FYI Seiko manuals recommend not running even certified divers’ watches under the tap as the pressure in one spot can defeat the seals. Rinsing them off in a bowl of water is the preferred method.

Tea shot is brilliant

Late to the £5.40 watch strap party but I am enjoying it.

I like your style, maverick man.

I hope the minute and hour hands are reversed, and the seconds go backwards

Every time I wear this Monster it makes me wonder if it is I'm fact the best watch in my collection. So little to fault it on.

The bracelet is comfortable and well made, it's light for a steel diver, doesn't sit tall, legible dial, bright lume, accurate, good depth rating, nicely domed crystal, secure bezel....and only cost me £140 7 years ago.

EDIT: Although I do have one negative memory of it. I bought it from Yorkshire Watches and after about 6 months it started to lose time really badly so I sent it in for a warranty repair. They sent me an email saying that they wouldn't repair it as clearly somebody had opened the case and been tinkering with it. I had not opened the case and had bought it from them from new. When I told them this they grumbled, basically called me a liar and fixed it anyway. Glad they're out of business.

laughed out loud

Meant to say, I like your attempt to DIY a cyclops bubble like on the new ones.

I really do dig the newest model. Must resist.

Hah! It fits under my keyboard that way
