What time is it? Watches and horology

Thanks!

Bit too big for my wrists though at 45mm.

It wears really small .. really

I think it’s best if I keep saving for the Speedmaster 57 :)

nano universe x Seiko SZSJ005 - Quartz but I really like this, homage is strong.

Does anyone know where I could get a wee screw to fit this? It keeps the crown cover on.. it's a TW Steel watch if that helps..

Ooof... What is that strap??

Handmade from the fella that made brad Pitts bund in fury .
From parachute release material.
Leather one is oxblood colour , he does interesting stuff hand made at what I think are very reasonable prices .

Great size. Nice work, Sinn.

I still hanker after a UX and a U1000. This one could replace the U1000 on my wish list.

The SDR version on black rubber looks great in particular.

That was my fav too. Sinn are onto a winner with the U50. Hopefully there'll be some more colourways coming through in the future (always been a fan of the blue and the black/beige U1's)

I think that would look nice on a black Nato

Certainly would.

But $2,180 to $2,940 for a Selita movement?!

It’s ok, IWC have been doing that for years

Not all movements are equal.

Compare a stock ETA 2824 like in my Steinharts and the ETA 2824 in an older Tudor Black Bay and not many people would begin to suspect they are the same movements.

Same goes for the big pocket watch Unitas 6498 inside some Panerai. You can buy one for £250 from ETA. It was the first movement I learned how to service. Fairly sure Panerai have fiddled with it before selling for $$$$

Can anybody help me id this watch?

Omega I reckon...

@ejay2.0 might be able to give a model number

Not sure it's anything tbh. Right click > View this image to look at this larger version of the same picture. Looks like a shit redial. Uneven markers all over the place. Poorly written Omega. No 'Swiss made' on the dial anywhere... Not to say it has to say Swiss Made - but I still reckon that's a redial.

Compare that to these markings and logo application, as an example and the difference is clear.
