What time is it? Watches and horology

All this Speedmaster talk, bringing back memories of selling mine. Idiot.

Liking the new Tudor chrono, but the Zenith still holds firm.

As per others, ejay2.0 is the go to. He supplied mine.
Ed - still saying thanks! Still love it 😁

Might as well pile in. Have only bought one thing from eJay (Black Bay bracelet) and he was a pleasure to deal with. Have sent several people his way since.

Although, can we just address the elephant in the room?

For a man who sells luxury watches, his phone photos need to improve.

There I've said it. 😂

Too funny 😂😂😂

Cheers buddy.
So glad you are enjoying.

I know , I know .
Humble apologies.

Just wish I had more opportunities to wear it. Another affect of lockdown! And a very first world problem 😁

Damn, the new 36mm Explorer is £5150!
The ugly 2 tone is like £8600?
It’s almost as ridiculous as the full gold BB58 on a fuc*ing nato.

All too much money , particularly that gold BB 58 .

Oh that crack earlier about the Tudor website crashing and failing like the calendar function on a BB GMT made me howl out loud , whilst we had a click and collect punter in store . Was righteous!!

Hah! Glad it landed somewhere. 😃

Can't agree more^

Dug one of my Dads old watches out. He was a radio 4 reporter for BBC. They used to get given chronos to time pieces for reports, he joined end of the sixties, retired in the 90’s and never returned the watch. I have another also but different. Scratches all his own from falklands through Romanian revolution first gulf war and Yugoslav war.

Amazing, what a lovely connection.

That is a wonderful piece, and well earned battle scars!

Amazing story!

Thanks both. He wore it everyday. It needs a service but will never get polished. This was the other one. Another Lemania which I think was standard issue but seems many models got issued.

Wow! That’s ultra cool.

That's amazing!

Not sure exactly how he ended up with two : )

Someone here started a list of known watches which is interesting, maybe more for me than most here.
