What time is it? Watches and horology

That was interesting but annoyingly it has reawakened a dormant Breguet itch*. Thanks a bunch Regal.

*I'm hoping there's some sort of cream for that.

Met with a mate today for a watch chat. The BB58s have different shades of blue on the dial. Weird.

This isn't helping matters either as the VC Overseas is my other unrequited love (although thankfully i do prefer the chrono).

I like the look of the Timor - is it old or 'vintage inspired'?

Ha, it was the old big date guilloche (sp?) dial chrono that was my guilty pleasure, although i have to say i think this version is by far the best of the new gen (i love a bit of dial texture). £31k+ means there's no danger of it ever being an actual temptation though!

The Timor is a 1944 piece 👍

All three different?

Yeah, 2 are kind of greyish, one more than the other and one is really blue. Hard to see in the photos, but it’s quite a big difference.

Exposure to light? I remember someone show a photo of a BB58 that been under the dealer light for so long it got faded.

I think that was the bezel iirc. Out of the three in the picture, the one that's most blue is the one that's the oldest/most used. Not sure why they're different, but I don't mind either. I love that watch.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, it's Friday.

Lordmatic on the dog walk this morning.

Old school and shreddies. (Unfortunately I picked up a box of frosted shreddies which are fairly bad).

Maybe it’s a fake…

As in all of the special Ed models? Or just G-Shock watches in general?

They're basically the ultimate watch in terms of functionality*.

I've only taken mine off to paint, make dough, and go out for the first time since child no2 was born.

*although some may tip over into barely functional.

Mad to think tho when we are all gone that G-Shock will still be bleepin doe.

Until the Sun goes Nova liek. #HappyFriday

Lovely , proper old school.

Or as I learnt, if you spray deet on them in the middle of the night being attacked by 1000s of midges

Love that, but got to disagree on the breakfast front - there is nothing bad about frosted shreddies.

Took the risky way up to work this morning:

G-Shock watches in general?

Yes. I get that people love them, clearly they are doing something right. They are just not for me.

I quite enjoy this strap, felt very well made.
