What time is it? Watches and horology

Ouch, nailed it. I started 2020 watching a movie and somehow gouging my f300 crystal.

@Regal Its a Gekota one which is designed for the Presage Cocktail Time. It's a grey / blue hue. Probably little less blue than this image.

I'm trying to buy a speedmaster off watchmaster but trying to speak to them is akin to asking for an audience with his holiness the pope. And they don't answer the phone either.

Doesn't exactly bode well if I have problems with it in the future...

I also have a new strap for my cocktail time!

...Cocktail party? Is this stingray??

Nice! 36 or 40mm?

Yes, Fluco black pearl stingray! Only just fits as the leather is quite thick round the lug hole.

40mm

Don’t have the funds for a genuine nice Swiss piece of kit, been looking at reps but it makes me feel a bit weird, came close to ordering a knockoff Tag SpaceX. Anyhow, these two seem to speak to me, both of them because they’re not trying to look like an earnest discount Rolex; the Seiko reminds me of the gauges in my car and the Swatch just looks like a bit of fun with the primary colours.

I personally prefer the Swatch, colour buttons remind me of the 70’s Lip Mach 2000.

I’ve been eyeing up that swatch too, post a wrist pic if you get one!

Will do. It’s my favourite, I’ll try to find one in a shop and try it on.

Cheers 👍

I vote Swatch

Interesting perspective here:

My alkin's power reserve seems to have gone. 3 days this week I have worn it all day, put it on my nightstand when going to bed and then have woken up to it stopped

A lot of watch for not a lot of money here...

Good that. I think the steel versions are serviceable which makes more sense. I'd prefer quartz to a non-maintainable auto.

Opinions on the Doxa Sub 200? Looking for a daily/toolwatch around the £1k mark.
