What time is it? Watches and horology

@inchpincher @apc Yeah, having worn it on this for a few days I'm coming round to the idea of something a lot more casual, maybe green suede even.

Of the straps I have coming for it, one is a more casual Two Stitch one but still black calf.

Longines really upping their game.
Silicon balance , magnetic resistance and a 5 year warranty. Sounds familiar from Longines big brother.

Don’t like the stars on the upper image (or the date wheel either), second watch is much nicer.

Stars are a bit McDonalds...

Don't understand the need for the giant RH sub dial on the bottom one.

Nah I like the McD stars. Manager Levelz.

Agree oversixe sub dial is wrong,

ALso 45 date a bit poo.

That time again

That’s nice, have you shown it before?

Couple of weeks ago I think. It's (another) Regal inspired purchase.

V Braun imo.

A birthday and my girlfriend wanting to buy me something that I actually wanted meant that I ended up with this much earlier than I was expecting.

It's much smarter than I thought it would be. Wears smaller than I expected and is very light, much less rugged looking than the blurb suggests.

Did it come with the strap? Great combo

Looks great! I'm also on eco-drive today, trying to get the toddler to sleep, which as you can see is not working.

Yes, but I had to choose out of like 20 different straps.

Why get a 62MAS when this look great.

Cause it’s fokin huge. For me anyway.

Just put a new strap on my old tag heuer pro. Been in a draw for 10 odd years. Forgotten how ace it is.

Lume is useless! Bought in 1989…

Looks great

Quite like this. Fortis doing some quite nice watches at the moment, the F43 range are pretty good

I can't decide if I like this or not, the logo and brand name seem to trigger me.

It's an odd one.

LFGSS, shred it in 3, 2, 1.....

The stars are really divisive for sure. I personally love them. Reminds me of their watches from the 60s.

Not sure they need to write Chronometer on the dial as well as put the stars on. Its a weird looking dial.

Pretty typical microbrand fare, in that it looks nice enough but it's an obvious mashup of parts of famous watches, in this case a 62MAS, an Oyster Perpetual and a GMT-Master.

Do you always dress like captain haddock for this watch?

Friday innit, you have fish on a Friday.

I’ve been wearing this for a while now.

That’s really good. How big is it?
