What time is it? Watches and horology

Then it’s probably best to bow to the inevitable sooner rather than later :)

Sidebar - No joke I know people who used to work at that radio station.

All good options TBF.

Ah right mine's actually H series I think which is around 1999/2000. I'll check out the strap as I desperately need a new one but don't really have the dosh for OEM at the minute!

While you’re almost certainly right that doesn’t mean you’re helping!!!!

Perlon is the best imo

My friend is selling a few interesting watches on eBay - if anyone’s interested I can get you a better deal outside of eBay. I think few people might like the Bulova.
Or this Speedy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Omega-Speedmaster-Mark-4-5-Automatic-Chronograph-ST176-0012-c-1984-/363301396710?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

wow that old tudor ranger is really cool. not seen that ref before

edit: i see it's a homage :-)

It’s a “bitsa”. Looks the part for sure with Rolex case etc. 34mm. The others Tudor is all original but 32mm! Looks super tiny in real life and I find it funny the main picture it’s through the loupe -it is that small :-)

That 1984 Speedmaster is absolutely mint though, unbelievable for the age. I thought he’d be listing it for way more too to be fair...

It’s had the case refinished so not exactly mint. Price is fair, these Mk 4.5’s never seem to go for the big bucks, maybe undervalued like the Flightmasters.

Yes it did, it’s factored into the price. But still, I doubt many people could tell 100% from holding it - I definitely couldn’t.

The flight master is a beautiful watch, the speedy is an attractive chronograph.

But these 60's cases just don't attract the masses. Marmite.

Have to say I love Marmite. But not these.

The seller low feedback will put off a lot of buyers IMO. Can you sell on his behalf?

If you want one of his watches - let me know and he’ll take it off, I’ll post it to you.

@Ordinata also by far the thickest watch I’ve seen in real life. Makes the Longines BigEye seem like a dress watch.

Is it a good time to buy a watch in the US given FX?
Also how do I smuggle a new watch past my wife?

I saw... they turned their Skipper configuration upside down and made the dial black. 🤷‍♂️

Breitling also going hard on weird LE too-thick chronos instead of just doing the tasteful basic one that everyone wants.

Meanwhile...

Deux Ex will get it sold.

I’d say it’s a good time to buy, even if you get whacked with the VAT. I got my SLA through the door with the line “It’s just a Seiko...”

What else would you match with your Moncler jacket in June?
