What time is it? Watches and horology

Snoopy don't give a shit.

Some are good some are bad. 'Batman', 'batgirl', 'smurf' and 'hulk' are the cringiest imo

Seiko seem to get away with it.
Tuna, Samurai, Sumo, etc.

But they're actually useful, unlike their alpha numeric names. Oh yeah, look at me flexing me SLA5643.

I have been casually looking for a 2nd hand Seamaster, found one listed as "excellent condition"
The description also says:

Omega Seamaster 300M. Bezel has faded and has some scratches, glass has some very light chipping to the edge and glass has very small marks. Omega branding on the clasp has been polished out and very hard to see with some scuffing on the clasp.

Not sure chipped crystal, fucked bracelet and scratched up bezel really qualify as "excellent condition" unless that means something else in used watch speak?
Also not priced very competitively at £2000.

Any photos?

Oooo photos!

I don't specifically dislike the patina on the bezel, but for the money, and the listing as "excellent" condition, I would expect better (and for similar money there is better)

This one is pretty funky.
Sadly having a hard time fitting the bracelet well on my puny wrists so might have to let it go.

I rather like that.

That's retro and cool

Love the “no name” clasp 🤣

really cool always liked them.

that clasp lol

That watch has been polished to hell and back.

Not even well... Looks like they used sandpaper... Look at the bevel's upper side

patina on the bezel

The Patina is great though. Love that.

That's excellent, proper retro-futurism.

But they're all distinctly Japanese and that's why it works I think. They have one of the most renowned tuna markets in the world and samurai and sumo are directly related to their culture were as all the others are animated fictional characters.

Finally...
