What time is it? Watches and horology

At least you’re a motivated seller, I really need a cull but I’m such a filthy hoarder.

The sloping bezel is a great sporty touch and I like the two larger sub dials and the subtle date- it’s really well proportioned compared to the Speedy reduced.
I’m not about to sell my Professional though ;)

I tend to sell anything I don’t wear regularly and therefore I only have 3 watches (one of which is sentimental). I do buy and sell quite a bit though, searching for the perfect one :-)
Visiting eBay and watch forums makes it difficult to be content though.

Oh, and it cost me half what a speedy pro goes for...

I only have 3 watches

2 SBGX261s and...?

Only 1 SBGX as the other ones for sale - doesn’t count :-)
SPB143 and my dads first watch - Poljot with alarm.

What didn’t click with the BB58?

Awesome ta. 😎

Too chunky... I didn’t wear it enough. And I fancy BB36 or a Tudor Prince like this:

New watch. Very pleased.

Solid looking piece With super legible dial .
Being readable easily is something that is not always found ... I like that

Ta! It is nice and clear. I wanted something like a G10 but loads tougher, with lume, and waterproof. I stupidly missed the cheap bracelet version deal earlier this year but wangled 25% off this one so not too bad.

I quite fancy an Explorer still, I will admit.

Thats nice. Which model is this?

BN0118-04E aka the Ray Mears reissue.

Who on here had the SPB Seiko gaining 30 seconds per day?
I've worn my SPB for a week now and it's within 1s per day when worn but then at night it can randomly gain 10-15s. I've tried different positions - crown up, crown down, flat, sideways and it only makes tiny difference. The watch still runs really fast. But then when I wear it it is literally +0.5-0.7spd which is incredible.

Me and yes it seems to be a bit random like that. I’m going to wear it all next week and see what it does.

My experience with those kind of Seiko movements suggests they run fast if left dial up and slower if left crown up.

Yes! Please report back.

Interesting, thanks.

@pawg will do. What’s your GS like in comparison?

Yes, mine gains at least 10s overnight regardless of the position. About 14s dial up, about 10s crown up. I wonder if this is something they do on purpose...

The GS is a quartz. No comparison :-)
Manufacturer says within 10s per year but it's more like 2-3s per year in reality. Quite remarkable I think.

Thanks. I love the look of it.

Dropped my wife’s Tag for a service under warranty. Advised that will get in back early February. When I expressed surprise I was told “because Christmas” - clearly I should have got in in earlier to avoid Festive Tag Servicing Delay.

Hopefully it’s a case of under promise, overperform.....

Yeah. High accuracy quartz ftw. I’m not in the market right now, but if I was, I’d buy your GS in a heartbeat. I miss my SBGR053 or whatever the reference was...
