What time is it? Watches and horology

Lied twice stating that he'd owned it for a year.

Thanks for the advice.

Maybe in his mind 2019 to 2020 counts as a year

Yup that’s what went for too .
Carnaby st has 10% off first order .
Stealth is out of stock though

Maybe they tried selling it 3 months ago, but pulled it for some reason.

Sorry, I meant the new colours. I like both the black Casioaks cos they're bit a bit more simple than the usual styling.

Its a different seller...
I messaged the original seller who gave me additional info on the watch and confirmed that he sold it in November.

I see. Weird.

I have now, thanks.

Seems like 160 isn’t far off. I guess modded parts generally don’t add to the value, but couldn’t see that.

I know you are! What am I?

Neener Neener neener!!!!

Woop! New watch won on eBay!

Boo! Won't be here for Friday Show'n'tell as the seller is hiking in Wales.

It's an odd one. I've seen a couple of completed listings go for >watch + parts.

Equally seen a lot that hang around. iirc dome sapphire + ceramic bezels (possibly with a tasteful hand mod) do well.

Also going to repost my Q. As struggling to find hands is holding up my movement swap....

Has anyone relumed a set of hands?

I'm really struggling to find a set I want, so was wondering about filling these with lume

Sort of like this:

Seiko? Have you looked at Dagaz?

There are these

Yeah. I don't like the sqare sec hand and as the hole surround on the min hand is smaller I'm not sure about a white base. It's for an skx013, so would worry about overcrowding the dial.

Also liked these, but was hoping for an orange min hand:

good choice, looks even better in real life. If both would have been available I would still have chosen this one over the stealth one

Still really enjoying this. Was going to get a new strap for it but despite the stiffness I’m going to persevere with the og strap.

I found a bag to match the strap

I love these watches , right up to the point where it goes on my wrist , and it doesn’t suit .
Odd .. I think it’s too delicate for me.
Or is it n my head ?

Killer new Turtle variant.

Obvious highlight is the "tapisserie" dial but hot damn that machined bezel grip. Not sure it needs the cyclops, but hey. In for a sapphire crystal, in for a pound. I’m just glad they resisted the temptation to laser a Prospex logo onto the crown.

Top money for turtle ?
I’m not sure about the green dial .
Agreed sapphire and bezel are a welcome upgrade , I’m always scratching hardlex

There’s a black version as well.

Give me that machined bezel on my SBDY015 and I’d be happy. Hardlex + alu bezel insert has always felt more appropriate for a watch like the turtle to me. I’ve not scratched the crystal on either of mine yet, but appreciate it being a concern.

This might not be the right thread, but is anyone interested in a two-week old 5 series space gray Apple Watch for £275 without boxes but including a couple of straps (sports grey, tan nylon and bond-style nylon)? I wanted to love it and it’s just not for me. I can show online receipts. ONO obvs.

PS - thread here:

I very nearly pulled the trigger on the green but just can’t justify it for a turtle. Sweet dial and bezel or not.

Baby SBGH255

I also want the green dial one.

Allegedly the blackout GA-2100 will be restocked this month according to some Euro online watch shops, but they had already sold out that allocation on back-orders too :(
