What time is it? Watches and horology

You're already halfway there!! 🙃

The Erika/fake Erika straps are super comfy.

What are the fake Erikas you talk about and where can I get one?

China presumably?

WatchGecko had them for £6 in a sale (£5.40 with a code)

Now they are £18 on there.

edit: beaten to the punch

looks like the £18 ones are elastic natos not Erika clones too.

What are you doing in PL?

I have a 22mm James Bond Erika, new in packaging to move on if anyone wants it for £6

Keen if still available, but happy for @Mr_Sworld to have first dibs

Zuludiver, from watchgecko as stated

May as well embrace the elasticated future

I have two 20mm ones. Green is brand new and grey is used for a few days, washed recently.
£6 and £4 respectively plus postage. Any takers?
Both sold.

Can you get fake Erikas for fixed bars? I’d really like one for my autodromo. The real Erika on my Helson is super comfy but 75€ can do one.

I'm looking for 20mm width so it's your @pjhobs

I'd be interested in the green one. PM sent.

I've got a 22 in blue (I think) if anyone want it for 6 quid? I misremembered the size I needed and never fit round to exchanging it. @PawG I'll take the grey one if you don't mind chucking it in an envelope and then the post?

Sure, just waiting for @Mr_Sworld to see if he won't take both. Will PM you.

If anyone has a 20mm moody Erika they wish to move on hit me up.

Would need to be posted to UK though.

Straight from Wuhan

Question for the experts; what do you think would be the best watch to buy as an investment. Let's say one that you buy now and want to sell again in 30 years, for less than 10.000€. Would you buy a new one and keep it in a safe and sell it as NOS or would you buy a vintage Rolex or Omega or so?

Don't buy a watch as an investment.

And don’t ask for investment advice on a fixie forum.

Lol

But a sports rolex 35 years ago for $400 and sell now for $700000

Buy a rolex submariner from an AD for RRP.

My colleague was asking if I wanted to buy his Hulk or his steel/ceramic Daytona, that sort of stuff is out of my wheelhouse but if you’re genuinely interested I can put you in touch.
