What time is it? Watches and horology

Off swimming today (albeit in the baby pool) so going with a Helson

I got a song in my head that keeps saying

All things that glitter are not gold...

Cannot for the life of me work out who it is... Punk/ Rock/ Metal...

Meh

Not much gold apart from the hands.

Death in Vegas (admittedly not punk/rock/metal)?

(and different words I've just noticed)

hahaha

no... But lets go with it.

OMD have a song, All that Glitters,
But also Stairway to heaven comes to mind?

Great angle!

I really like how the faux vintage lume is applied.

I ended up with 2 of these

BALLER

Whats the ref? Details of the watch? I know nothing about GS

SBGX261, 9F Quartz. 37mm case, 10mm thick, 19mm watch. To me - a perfect watch.

Save us all PM'ing you, how much?

£1350 posted to UK. 2019 watch, still under warranty. Box and all of course.

Hahaha

I’ll just leave this here... WTF

Half a million squiddles?
Imagine the eBay/ PayPal fees!

Dude also has a Breitling stop watch for the same price. £3.70 postage. Oh, and some limited edition monopoly board game.

Lol

Interesting variant. Any more info?

Speedmaster Racing 40mm - discontinued now but found an unworn example. The new speedy racing is 44mm...

This one is pretty much the same dimensions as the planet ocean 39.5 (i.e. c.40mm diameter, 45.5mm lug to lug, 14mm depth, 19mm lug width). So great for smaller wrists. And unlike the 38mm speedy reduced this is a proper chronometer grade co-axial chronograph movement.

This is a good overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZTYfQEuoj0&t=187s

Don’t see many of them, looks good. Are you happy with it?

You’ve made me feel better about my own impulsive purchasing. One on each wrist?

I can’t help myself with a good bargain. And when I call it that it’s totally justified :-)

Extremely happy. I tried on a speedy pro but it was too big. This is perfect. And I think it’s actually much nicer than the pro [hears sharp intake of breath across the world #sacrilege]

As well as the size I prefer the sloping tachymetre bezel and the slightly domed sapphire and the textured dial (as well as the pattern in the sub dials the main dial actually has a v subtle vertical brushing).
