What time is it? Watches and horology

If it works properly I. Might get a titanium one too.

And blue?

Yes!! This is an amazing piece.

Does anyone know of a decent copy of the Tropic Rubber strap that doesn't cost £75 and is comfortable? Are the cheap ones on eBay any good ? Ideally with a brushed buckle

Like this?

Don’t know if it’s as comfortable as an actual tropic strap.

I’ve used these and they are nice but the hardware wasn’t amazing, it looks different on the newer version though https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/tropic-watch-straps-and-rubber-watch-bands

These are the best that I’ve tried but more expensive https://www.uncleseiko.co.uk/store/c5/Rubber_Diver_Straps.html

RAF issue chronograph on CWC NATO strap for me today.

Thanks both I'll check those links out . No one seems to do a nice dark 'nato green' colour like the originals

The American store does green and khaki versions

Thanks , I think they are slightly a different waffle design? There are a few green ones around but none as dark as the original:

Sorry, you’re correct. They are waffle not tropic.

I’ve never seen a tropic that colour before, looks really nice.

Can't believe how many of you own this watch too haha

Nah bling gold for fun and maybe ti for wearability and lightness. Then I'll stop wasting money On watches I don't need. And wait for the world to go back to normal so I can justify spending my savings on the Zenith I've got lined up once one comes available.

This one is on Chrono24 for £3,164 which is a really good price. but it's in Russia so I'm.not sure about it.

I love that zenith. That an the blue face version.

Furniture refinishing and g-shock. Getting a lot of stuff done staying in.

It's a great watch isn't it, it was a bit smaller than I expected but it wears so comfortably.

Yeah, they are great. Just the right size as it tends to disappear on my wrist. Honestly, it renders all my other watches obsolete. Apart from the speedmaster.

boring lockdown weekend.. took some shots

As requested, a windy outside view.

As offices go, that pretty rad.

Saw one at a SSAFA airshow doing one of the steep approach landings, drive a land rover or scorpion out the back and take off again within a few hundred metres. Was very impressive

That is insane

Yeah I've been lusting after one for years. Finally decided on the exact model and have the savings.

However cannot currently justify the outlay as I'm furloghed and v uncertain situation due to covid. Boo

I suppose now is a terrible time to be selling watches.

I sold a couple of expensive watches earlier this year. At the time I felt I received a little less than they were worth but feel pretty lucky to have sold them before the plague hit!
