What time is it? Watches and horology

Quite like this

Just did a little snorkeling trip. Guy next to me on the boat was wearing Rolex Sea Dweller. Russian.

I feel like this is so close to being really good but something about the sizing is just… off. I think the bracelet just looks too small for it.

Too much tapered?

Exactly

The SeaDweller is overkill in every way, so reliable and so good..

Recently giving a lot a wrist time to the controversial SD43..

Also, few nice pieces seen today

An insane Tudor 7928 Square Crown Guard, tropical and, Marine Nationale (nothing less)

A cool Bianchi JB200 Marine Nationale, quartz

And a warm 79090 that might be for sale soon..

Seems like pretty good value, with sapphire glass and a seiko sweepey quartz movement?
Anyone know anything about them? There’s not a huge amount of info about the company knocking around. Far from an original design obvs, but I like simplicity.

I’d probably be looking at a steel dive at that price. That dial, to me, just looks so baron and empty.

I think that’s what I liked about it. Or at least, I like trust it’s understated (as long as it’s actually a decent, well made watch, which I wouldn’t know) Would rather have no branding than steeldives awful logo, certainly :-)

I asked the same question and was quite rightly told no.

Best to go something like San Martin (a massive step up from Steel dive), or Steinhart.

Or look at Unimatic.

I did see your question about these, but didn’t really see any answers. Did you find out much about them?

I actually just ordered one of the ones I linked to, just to see what it’s like. I just want a cheap, simple quartz diver. If it’s shit I’ll send it back and just get an eco drive I guess.

Pictures look like from a “Lost & Found” section :-)
Sweet looking watches!

Anothe option for a proper dive watch is Scurfa, basically design for saturation diver without spending silly money, not everyone cup of teas tho.

Yeah they’re just about in my very modest price range - all the un-garish colours are out of stock, sadly.

This turned out to be a deal for you.

I'd probably just get a Parnis diver off ebay from China for <£100. Can easily find them with a sterile dial, sapphire glass, miyota hacking movement etc.

That's lovely. What size wrist do you have?

@PawG I would love to find one of these

@MementoMori something like 17,5cm.. it’s a bit chunky but that’s part of it

See who sells one of these first...

It's so bad. It looks like a Bamford. Maybe that's the intention.

See who sells one of these first...

My moneys on @PawG

Reminds me of the turquoise Oyster https://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster-perpetual/m124300-0006.html

Haaa 😂

@Regal Bamford at the front, Omega limited edition at the back. Think it's because it's so matt compared to most other variants other than the white version.

Omega are far better than that - they'd never produce this kind of system font shitshow. Writing "Tiffany & Co" in Times New Roman, leaving the period off "Co." and using a hyphen for a dash - they're clearly still employing the person who thought Arial was an appropriate choice for the word "Tourbillon".
