What time is it? Watches and horology

Agree that Longines do nice looking stuff.

However the fauxtina on the (IMO overpriced) skin diver above is just shocking. Looks terrible IMO.

And @sumo - I can't remember how many your wrists are but the lug to lug of a Heritage Diver is huge, so be wary if ordering online.

The mesh bracelet really work on that.

Yeah I've been reading that, trying to compare it to measurements of the Alpina I had that was pretty big. I always have to shorten watch bracelets quite a bit so thougth I had relatively skinny wrists but just measured and it's 7'' so maybe it would be fine. I'm leaning towards the 36mm Longines anyway, I think it would fit the vintage look a little more too.

From some guy on Reddit:

Has bare feet. Clearly related to a certain member of this thread.

I may have said fuck it and ordered the 42mm version cos it's easier to find significantly cheaper.

Internal bezel is aces. Love the way it moves. In other news... Ordered wrong bat. 😎

Not a fan. Don't like the colour combo, would also ditch the strap. Prefer the classic silver sunburst Top Time.

Sub dial is wayyy to close to the centre of the hands for me. I know this is a movement restraint but balance isn't there.

Great stuff! Look forward to the NWD pic!

Yep, and I think it must have been such a common complaint that almost all the subsequent Heritage models in that style have been smaller. The sub seconds looks fine on the other, smaller, models that have it.

Good effort Sumo!! Cant wait to see it.

Grats - FWIW despite preferring 36-40mm watches I’d much rather have a 42mm diver than a 36mm one, personally. 36 starts to look quite small when you factor a divers bezel in (or a tachy bezel for that matter).

Good work. I think it'll really suit you.

That was quick

That looks great. Probably my favourite Casioak so far. Wish it was solar, but still very tempted.

Edit: sold out everywhere, good, good.

that is cool

That look oddly more readable as the clear resin make it easier to focus on the face.

What do we have here

My issue with the Casioak that I have is it just isn't that easy to tell the time at a glance. It's style over substance which seems to go against the G-shock style.

....

It's actually the perfect size for my wrist, really pleased with it. The box is came in is huge, 23cm x 23cm x 16cm and weighs over a kg.

That's lovely. Congrats.

ALREADY?! Did you not pay for that yeterday?!

Wrist shot!

Yeah I know, free postage too.

Oh I like that. Nice.
