What time is it? Watches and horology

Ooof, noice!

Quite like these vintage Caunymatic.

Not sure what it worth from mechanical point of view, but 70’s is strong, live the skin diver case and the orange hands

Agree, those are very cool.

Sunny watch for a sunny day.

Strap definitely better, break up the colour on the dials nicely

This is the original (Paulin) strap, it was the anOrdain that I tried a bunch of different straps on. Ended up with charcoal suede on both though.

Suits it well 👌

Cool bracelets

Hey! Good looking watch; clearly a man of taste :)

:)

I’m gonna need a bigger watch box...

This US1450 bracelet has exceeded my expectations. Looks great, feels great… a bargain at sub £100 too.

tried to swap the bracelet on the Pelagos to the (supplied) rubber dive one, but couldn't get the spring bars to move.
I am not an idiot, is there a knack to it?
(@Señor_Bear any suggestions?)

From my experience, Tudor is usually a tight fit with the bracelet. Either use the calliper/tweezer sort of tool or one by one with a standard spring bar tool. Might want to tape the lugs in both situations too 👍
Oh, and make sure you hold it in a way so it doesn’t come out on top as you can cause a nasty scratch on the top of the lug.

Fucking spring bars. Such a joke.

I picked this old thing up the other day. Had just had a service too which was nice as they are a bit of a pig/not cheap to service..

Out of interest, what was your motivation in a reduced? Size? Cost?

I always thought my wrists were too small to get away with a Speedmaster Professional, but it looks fine on my smaller wrists when I had mine.

A mix of all of them i think. I actually used to own this very watch (not this exact watch but an identical reduced) 15 years ago but sold it when I went travelling. I've always liked its compact dimensions and I enjoyed owning it previously.

I also managed to buy it for 1.5k and it had had a 500 quid service 3 months ago so the numbers all stacked up too.

Ah nice. 1.5k for a serviced Reduced is a great deal.

He trashed the sharp edges of the case when he polished it

His first polish. Might give him a break.

Lol

I've got a new job. Everyone here is wearing rose gold day-dates.
They look a lot less special when you see them every day.
