What time is it? Watches and horology

Maybe I'm just looking for a reason to buy the silver with Taupe dial 😆 It doesn't bother enough to be put off of a watch by any means, I just know it's there sort of thing.

That comes on a nato or strap, so no problem there - here’s a positive I didn’t expect.

Thanks

Might enjoy this restoration video / advert.

This thing is for sale. Ultra funky but the price is eye watering. Bracelet not original either. £13k. Wow.

I like that one but I prefer the slight dial change on this one in the middle here. I also love the black dial Chrono on the right, they do it in silver too. Saw a customer at work with one, looked amazing. Not sure why they started adding "Tiger" to all the dials as I think it really messed with the great balance the dials had.

I know they do the big blocks as well, too large for me.

Edit: So Ive just read that the "Tiger" use was linked to Tiger Woods. I feel sick. What a way to ruin a watch.

Bringing the horological level down a bit, does anyone want a strapcode oyster bracelet for an SKX013?

Worn once and decided it's not for me. It is this one [https://www.strapcode.com/collections/replacement-band-for-seiko-skx013/products/metal-ss-bcl20-b049]

£40 plus postage.

Also wanting to sell a SKX007J - £220 with stock strap, box and papers, plus original bezel. Currently has a DLW coin edge bezel with flat ceramic dual time insert (lumed). Bought last year so is v new.

+£35 for a crafter blue strap (black)

+£40 for a strapcode oyster bracelet

£290 the lot

In which timeline is that a £13k watch? Is it a unique dial or something? Or is this just Daytona mania spilling over?

It’s just how much this is on sale for.
Rare I guess.

And finally, an unused Hirsch Medici fitted leather strap - 22mm, blue, 2 x sets of spring bars, still in packaging - this has the removable insert that you can rotate to change the position of the spring bar holes, so it fits most watches - £20 posted

Guess so! Seems crazy that any Tudor chrono is that desirable but what do I know.

Thanks for all the advice with the Speedmaster, this arrived first thing this morning from @ejay2.0 , so grateful for his patience and expert advice! So chuffed!

Just like that! Enjoy and congrats again.

Congrats. Looks great. Health to wear.

Amazing, enjoy one of the nicest looking watches ever made. I challenge you to find a strap, that this watch does not look good on. Impossible. Congratulations!

Last new 1861 we will get that was.

Special.

Congrats @Manson7am that is a special watch !

Was trying to wear my 145.006 today, but somehow managed to be a spring bar short....

Anyways here'a quick shot of it balancing precariously on top of my Freese 002

That was rapid! Very nice:) Enjoy!

@Condorlini Lovely! What does the case height workout with that set up, 30mm?? 😂

@D-Dog does that include the black-tac or not?

Haaa!

Really not my thing. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is cool, the clasp as well. Thats about it for me. Don't think its gonna do the brand many favours.

The hand placement is... unfortunate

I get a geeky football player vibe.
