What time is it? Watches and horology

This is the second one I have owned. Sold the first one to fund another watch and instantly regretted it.

Helson had sold out at the time so bought second hand. My second one is also a <100 serial number like my first one (number 41).

I'm surprised they aren't considering a restock. I think they sold a batch about two years ago.

Orange Barton strap from Amazon is good. Would recommend.

They didn’t rule out a restock but seemed to be more interested in flogging me one that sounded a bit like a franken of bits they had laying around.

On a related note, why haven’t Omega reissued the OG? Surely there’s demand

Maybe but I'm not sure he other ploprof reissue was that popular. Maybe @ejay2.0 has a view...

Love a Pepsi turtle.

What do those in the know think about the Iriomote Island Seiko (SLA047 specifically): they'll sell-out immediately on release, or could the canny buyer see a discount in six months or so?

Metal G shock Friday

(these mod bezel and bracelets are really well put together!)

Nice.

Does it have the little orange light or the indeglow style one ?

it's a yellowy green, it's a bit shit but works better than the small casio I had when I was young which lit up so bright you couldn't read the numbers

Still with the Super Compressor this week, it's definitely growing on me (although it does look like it needs a clean already)

Trying a nato. Not quite a match. Also prefer the feel and operation of my old leather strap.

Could use this for some time. End links are quite shit though.

New watch Friday. Very pleased with this. Never used a rubber strap before but this one is very comfortable.

Honestly loving this.

Squale strap are wonderfully comfortable, if you’re looking for a more classic one, the original Tropic one is worth getting.

Is the bezel text is white on that 1521?

Nice!

Thanks.

Love. The solar is ace. 3000 pieces

I think this one is 'classic' enough for me. That said, give it a few months and I'm sure I'll want to play with some strap options...
Yep, white text on black.
Btw I think it was pics of your Squale that helped convince me to go for this. Never even tried one on before, so it was quite the punt at £800, but I'm v happy.

Cheers

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.
