What time is it? Watches and horology

Absolutely love* this.

Such a dreamy lifestyle shot too.

*and I've never been into these models of G-Shock before.

Serengeti

Funny you mention Serengeti sunglasses. I've got a NOS pair of round '90s Serengeti driving glasses I'm looking to sell.

Perfect for anyone looking to go period correct on a 90s project car.

Ta. Is G7900.

I posted afore not even sure on availabilty these days but were originally released with tide / time data and also low temp function.

Were available in red / black / yellow also... 😎

Didn't do Friday, so here's Monday late in the day.

I don't just sell watches .
We also do bespoke jewellery.

Mainly looking for inspiration, I doubt a trip to from Berlin toLondon for our rings would make sense. Maybe for a watch...
But then who knows, it's been too long!

I see , very good point sir. .

If anyone fancies this panda / speedmaster mk2 vibe from Tissot it’s 20% off list at the mo .

Can anyone recommend a good Kent based or online watch repair co? WFH is a total ballache sometimes.

My vintage IWC just fogged up and ive not had it serviced in over 9 years so probably due before it rusts to hell.

(It's already in a sandwich bag with a silica gel packet)

Beautiful but probably £1000 outside my discretionary spending limit.

Does anyone know where one could buy a NATO strap (or similar) with brass hardware?

This guy is supposed to be pretty good (but I haven’t used him yet myself)

Erika's MN are available with brass hardware but they are, of course, nicebutpricey.

Thoughts on the Wolbrook Douglas Skindiver Worldtimer?

I sold one to a gentleman on here last year, I think. Great little watch, if you don't pay more than £300 or so.

OG win: worldtimer is too busy, both sides of the track.

And those NATO are gash.

Picked this SNE573 up yesterday. I really like it. Would I prefer it without the Prospex logo and Solar text? Sure. But I can live with it for a mere $418 after tax. Have been missing a dive watch and my local jewelers had this at 20% off, despite it being a new release. Sapphire crystal, drilled lugs, incredibly legible, 10 month battery life on a full solar charge, 38mm wears really nicely on my small wrist, rubber strap is very comfortable and very pliable. Oh, and bezel and chapter ring alignment is good, too! Feels a bit like a poor mans sub and I have a lot of time for it.

That’s nice. I like the bezel insert graphics.

They're good, eh? Not printed either. Actually engraved/etched/debossed/don't know what it's called.

real nice - great price too

Simon Freese will service your IWC... He is in Essex..

Been popping up on insta aren’t it?

Looks great! Did you also get the bracelet?

Really like this and nice and thin too. Slightly put off by reading the insert could be plastic. Also heard the bracelet is a bit tosh

Cheers all. Simon freese emailed. I have to say the certificate warnings on his website don't inspire confidence.
