What time is it? Watches and horology

Nice - post a pic! Recommend this strap BTW - £30 and softer / comfier than a crafter blue

Edit - you already have the strap!

Lovely.

Thanks , I think of the Speedy I have this is my favourite.
Yours looking sweet on that strap .

I find it so hard to photograph a watch on my wrist. Especially with the domed crystal as it reflects so much of the surroundings. Anyway, you get the idea. The Comex police will be along soon I’m sure 😅

Think this is best on the bracelet

Nice!

It certainly looks amazing. Swap for the new one? ;-)

here I go again ......
New one is not a moonwatch .
or indeed a space watch.

I meant the ''new one'' as newer to yours, not the 2021 release. Sorry.

I know only joking.
I am lucky enough to have a 2014 super luminova/ 1861 as well .

One of the most photogenic watches.

Nice , not sure about putting it with the Barbour. I'm more Belstaff if I'm honest.

I like this.

New things from Omega:

They've also tapered the bracelet on the Seamaster 300 update amongst other things, there is hope for us all! They also plan to make their whole collection Master Chronometer Certified by 2022! Will split them from the competition a little, be interesting to see what others do.

Rolex Accounts for a Bonkers 25% of All Swiss Watch Sales - The iconic watchmaker generated approximately $8.5 billion in 2020

Wow

Also in Robbreport.com, looks like there's a limited edition release every second article... When are we going to get bored of limited edition runs?! Surely the value of limited has been whittled away....

Aren't they set up as a charity in effect too. Liek no tax.

Liek no tax.

Also can't draw profits out of the company or declare dividends. Works both ways.

Tried my friend’s Batman (I think I hate the watch nicknames)

Unarguably a great watch but felt very bling for a tool watch after my Pelagos. I suppose you need to embrace the bling.

RE: nicknames, it's a bit of an odd one.

If you said "I am torn between the pepsi diver, or root beer GMT" I would know exactly what you meant, but if you started showing me your watch and calling it the Batman or Coke I would think of you as a twat.

felt very bling for a tool watch

From here, the GMTs are supposed to be bling. Its not a diver. Its a travel watch so its more sophisticated and blingy. I once really wanted a pepsi/coke/batman until i got that point. I dont want a bling travel watch. (yeah yeah, slow on the uptake)

Its a different beast to the submariner.

126710BLRO? I think it looks cool but 126711CHNR definitely has something about it.

@smithchild Embrace the bling.

Look at that smug pinheaded prick who goes round meddling in people's private affairs and his smug twat of a dog.

Snitches.
