What time is it? Watches and horology

Good morning. I'd like to take back what I said about the new Speedy - after watching few videos, I think the bracelet is pretty cool actually. Not the clasp though. Anyone's got one yet?

Saw this for sale on Reddit. I think it is particularly nice. Seller looks like he photographs watches professionally so it’s a great pic too.

Lovely, I bet the price is nice too!

That is great!

What's the price on that exquisite piece? Does he say? I'm guessing US?

How's your Tudor Paw? Getting any writst time?

Price $5,500.

All good, thanks! Been wearing the Hamilton lately, and the Speedy in the afternoons.

Not sure if I can justify 4 watch collection, as I already feel like I’m not wearing some watches often enough. But then again there isn’t one I could let go. It’s a nice problem to have but also terrible at the same time.

Just went for the Presage Hojicha, the Matcha edition.

Hope it'll arrive soon.

Went out of stock on Seiko boutique right after I had ordered it.

I am not a fan of numbers on a analogue watch, but the green on the dial is chefs kiss wonderful

The green dial Spirit is quite nice, not as jazzy a dial but I like the hands/markers.

They must polish / mill it down?

Amazing seeing the natural undulation in the first image.

Anyone tempted by a fake Explorer that they've tried to get past ebay by blurring out the Rolex bits that also claims to be based on a SKX013 but isn't.

Looks like a quality item.

Yep, it gets polished smooth.

I don't mind them. Been looking at it for a while now and didn't disturb me, which is good!

Gold in green is a winner. My Gillott is gold and green. Should have gone for this to wear when cycling on it

I've got a very similar milgauss homage but the case is huge, it's such a chunk of metal that I never wear it.

So very nice

I have a fella which regularly sends me photos via whatsapp of literally any homage / replica watch you want.. I got a decent black bay off him a few years back..

That looks like a bad replica to me. If you want a good one go and have a look on the rep world forum. Some of the good fakes are astonishingly good and there is a whole rabbit hole of modding with genuine parts that is fun.

I'm fairly sure @aggi was being sarcastic/ ironic with that post, and wasn't actually shilling the shit "homage"

Yep, I don't really get the point of replicas in general but I was just amused at the attempt to sell a watch where they'd blurred out loads of bits of the pictures.

You modd a fake, with real parts? For what purpose?

It went for almost £100, quite a lot of money for what is most likely junk

I like this more than I should
