What time is it? Watches and horology

Yeah I think those are a great reissue. If they’d done a nice no-date version of it I’d have been sorely tempted. Sadly the black version had no date but also no seconds track, which for a chronograph was a pretty odd decision.

Serious timepiece. Yours?

Ha. I wish.. instagram!!

I like the look of the black cased watches a lot. There was some military issued (I think) Lemania watches in black that I’ve seen online few times. They don’t look so good when they pick scratches up though.

@panic Ha! Didn’t want to assume. :)

Yeah patina on black PVD tends to looks terrible until it finally looks good.

See any number of Porsche/Orfina watches

The Zenith is titanium not PVD so who knows how it will age. Perfect size as well.

I wonder it in 20 years time it would fetch money because the dials haven’t been printed correctly?

Doubt it. Its badly printed, not like they've replaced a 3 with a 9 or something. Something like that I really don't think so.

Oof

I just read the Hodinkee review of that. The comments are hilarious. A Pam copy!

link plz :-)

A Pam copy!

Because its got a cushion case?!?! Jokers!

I am loving this.

Like, it’s honestly the best Seiko ever.

Totally get @Regal stance on the bracelet, it wasn’t that the case didn’t suit one, but that bracelet shape doesn’t really suit the angular case of the SPB143, I can totally see a angular bracelet working better.

Hahah well looks like a panerai but i wouldnt say copy. Maybe thats why i like it ao much. I prefer cushion/square cases more than round.

Speaking of pvd watches. I just got offered this in exchange for my 372..

Really cool but i think i will pass. Pam26k

Page 2000! Some nice watches on show.

And none of them is ours :)

Bold claim Mr Scoble! Looks great though.

Fair point. Maybe time to get my Speedy out. Apple Watch doesn’t count at all!

They both have cushion cases, yes. But panerai isn't the first or the last to use them.

The LG is definitely well executed.

And we both are fans. So makes sense.

I love that 26k - it’s a bit more of a toolwatch vibe than the 372, especially with the non polished hands, so depends what you’re after. Both belters though!

Not sure about the Panerai movement. But the LF..
