What time is it? Watches and horology

The Ryu is the most tolerable one.

When are they going to do a pick'n'mix make your own S5?

I think they're fun. Not as good as the Bond Swatches, but still good. Ryu definitely needs a strap change.

I guess just as the value

I doubt rappers and the offspring of Chinese big crocs would buy their products if they weren't extortionate.

I'm normally opposed to customs but this is fantastic.

Anyone got a spare steel 22mm buckle? I just got a 22mm watch, so will use the khaki Barton I had for sale but I don’t like the colour...

I might have something but can you just double check the internal width of the buckle because often the lug will be 22 but the buckle end will taper to 20mm.

I will check when I’m back home!
It’s the same as a 22mm nato (if that’s any help) as I’ve swapped it before and worked fine.

Yup, internal width 22mm.

Just what has Guile done to his hair?

Like!

Springs bar rusted to pieces on my Magrette, I can’t believe they’re the original, I’m sure it would have been supplied with SS ones tbh .
Better finding out now .I’ll get some SS ones ordered .
Sea water is a tough environment

What will get the stains off the case back ?

I’d try GT85 or something like that, gently treat it with a toothbrush or alike?

Good shout .. cheers

That's terrible - after a surf or swim I always rinse or even soak whatever watch I was wearing in fresh water. But even so, I've never seen spring bars that bad. Not sure if they'd fit, but track down some Seiko fat bars. They're really good and I haven't had one rust yet.

I’m pretty sure they are not Magrette bars , but I can’t think where I got them .
I’m a big fan of the seiko bars and have never had one rust .. this was exceptional

Nice! What model?

you remind myself of a time I just went for a quick dive on a watch rated for 30m, and took that literally, couple metres underwater and one dead watch.

Should claimed waterproof depths not be taken literally then? Asking for a friend.

Squale day .The ‘vintage’ lume is not great on these , but otherwise it’s decent .
When I put it on it feels small , but after a couple of days I’m used to it .
Hope my arm looks less dead today

I think it’s a Colt chronograph. I’ve had it twenty years or so

Today I'll mainly be wearing the SARB033.
