What time is it? Watches and horology

solid gold (paint)

yeah it was an amazon jobbie last Christmas from my FiL's fiancee

the strap squeaks when it moves, very light and cheap. Absolutely hilarious watch and worth £20 £15 of anyones moneys

Met a very normal bloke yesterday with a 6538 submariner as his daily wearer. I didn’t realise the value till I looked it up today!

I wanna b in your gang. (Ordered)

Comon!

Would also look good on an Erika

Anyone looking to offload a Seiko Divers SKX007 or Hamilton Khaki Field?

Casual day today, apart from two and a half hour conference call while sitting at the mother in laws reading lfgss

SKX007

I have a modded one collecting dust (face, chapter ring and bezel changed). Not sure if that's of interest. PM if that might be close to what you are looking for.

Interesting. What you change on it? Was it easy? Was it fun? Was it lockdown fun?

I’ve got a modded one as well that I’m thinking of selling.

Coin edge bezel with ceramic insert, signed crown, sapphire crystal, turtle dial with all the original bits and recently serviced.

Let me know if interested.

@Aroogah @Ducky🦆 messaged you both

These references must have passed me by.

In the Street Series style of Tunas but automatic, 62MAS style hands and day/date at 3 instead of 4. Not bad.

Jazzy.

F300, looks like summer’s back.

The rainbow stitching on the strap is a bit twee, but they nailed that dial. Actually they nailed almost everything, sadly it has the dreaded Arial on but it’s pretty hard to spot. RRP £870 with a Milanese bracelet AND the two black leather straps included. Good work Mido.

First time I've worn this for months

I was looking at these thinking I'd like one. I didn't find any info about when it'd be released or who would have it though and google isn't very forthcoming with info.

Out more or less now I think.

Mido are Swatch group so should be easy to come by. Having said that it’s limited to 1961 pieces and they seem popular so you might want to be quick.

Late submission.

Found the leather a bit hot and heavy recently. The perlon has been a revelation and I haven't taken the watch off since.

Do need to brush the buckle though as it's looks a bit tacky at the moment.

I really like this. Seamaster grows on me all the time. I even like the bracelet now.

Age catches up to us all.

Lol

You saying Dov's old?!

He's no older than us

Ha! Is 36 the official age when Seamasters start to look good?

Age catches up to us all.

Guess I’m still a way from wanting a g-shock.
