What time is it? Watches and horology

That is exactly what a watch should do
Oh and telling the time

SPB187J1; yay or nay over the 62MAS interpretation? (SPB143)

Bracelet = 187
Strap = 143

For me.

Prefer the 143 but still maintain that part of the allure of Seiko divers are how cheap they are (generally). They’ve clearly caught on to their enthusiast following and are releasing constant special editions that are quite expensive.

Are either of those really a grand better than an SKX?

Better still, get an SKX and upgrade the movement to a 6R15, pop a fancy bezel on and a domed AR sapphire and that’s still less than half the price.

I’ve heard few rumours about Omega price rise early next year. Can anyone confirm that?
Apparently, the base Speedy model will be £5400?! That just sounds unreasonable.

Elegant af. Love it.

Don't let money change ya...

Theres a whole thread on this on the watch forum. It's a painful read as usual

That is a very nice watch, love the hands on it.

Why does the dial look misaligned?

Better still, get an SKX...

I have an SKX007, hence why I like the SPB187, it’s similar but a much better case design, especially the lug.

It look like it’ll wear much better than my SKX007.

Not good marketing ay!

I guess if u have an OG 62Mas or an explorer 1 it would be even more of a mismatch. 😎

Guessing early 70s by the bracelet?

Total guess here but for whatever reason the majority of Air King 5700s were made between 1986 and 1988 (and mainly sold in Canada and UK). Air king dates outside of that time bracket are quite unusual.

I wasn't aware Omega did so many wild models, probably because they're disgustingly expensive! I really like the simplicity and movement design on the De Ville Tresor though. The city edition "Paris" and "New York" are nice too minus the laser etching on the back.

Also wtaf are those seamaster GMTs

Rolex price increase from 4th of January. 6% apparently.

143 for me -slightly prefer the indices, hands and straighter lines of the case (although prefer the bezel on the 187). They are both great though - you can’t go wrong with either.

143 is a proper timeless classic that I can use any strap on.

I’m waiting for Jura to get back to me, it been a week.
