What time is it? Watches and horology

Yeah, I’d recommend seeing it first. I had the ETA version, which is slimmer than the in-house 41mm BB, and it was just too chunky for me (And I certainly don’t have a small wrist at 8 inch).

Reminds me of the Longines VHP

I think it's coloured metal. Won't patina.

I’m treating it as such, it’s a Seiko abet alarmingly expensive one but tough enough for daily workshop usage.

It’s a boring watch in the sense that it’s nothing flashy or glamorous, which is great as a daily watch.

We can see...

Should wipe off the evidence some time ;-)

Obviously, it’s not a beater, but damn that would make a great beater.

This is exactly my point!

damn nice watch! Tool watch, but a very expensive tool watch!

Similar thoughts to me tbh.

Shame the Gnomon Steinhart exclusives don’t show up here as some of them are really good.

Which do you like? Im a fan of the one that @soul has. Obviously

Anyway, this is my tool watch today and it’s also very nice to look at.

his is my tool watch today

But is it really a tool watch?

My tool watch is definitely my Steinhart Ocean One. Looks good on a canvas strap, looks good overall, dont mind bumping it, isnt worth 3K.

Those pink ones are pretty cool, as is the attached Tudor sub and this:

Good question... I’d be a lot more upset if I dropped this on site than my Ocean One.

That’s the thing, put it next to a SKX and it look ridiculously glamorous.

That I really want, Tudor sub homage are awesome

I thought I prefered the polar dial, but this looks really good!

Thanks man, yeah I’m really happy with it. Was a bit nervous about whether I’d like it as they’re not the easiest watch to track down to try on, but I warmed to it pretty much instantly when it arrived and I’m going to hang on to it. It’s got a bit more heft than I was expecting but I think that’s because i haven’t worn a bracelet for about 10 years and am still getting used to it. Watch feels reassuringly tank-like, which is what I was after. Lack of anti glare/flat sapphire is probably my biggest gripe but that’s the Rolex style and I’m already used to it. I like to think of myself as a bit anti-establishment so have always been determined to dislike Rolex but it turns out they make really good watches. Who knew?

Yeah I changed my mind on that a few times, I think the hands look a bit more proportionate on the polar, but I felt black was more low key look so I went with that in the end. Pleased I did, as I now actually like the floating effect as it helps turn the bling down a bit.

only one i like at the moment is Eds... And then id baby it.

The build quality is so tough, even after a months in a workshop there’s no sight of dent, scratches or anything.

Diashield really make a big difference.

Yeah Diashield genuinely works.

Bulova. Space watch. Again. Loving this more than expected.
