What time is it? Watches and horology

No one posted my comment in the golf thread, y'all slacking

That is a super nice Rolex... Wish I had the style to go with it!

Got one of these on the way. Good price with a chunk of the proceeds going to a great cause.

Anybody owns or knows somebody that owns a Reverso??

Yep, @underuser53929

Well the wife rather than me. She has two, first is the steel one. This just has the one face and is a quartz (the man in the shop in Switzerland recommended that as “some women don’t like having to wind a watch” twenty five years ago) and she wears it virtually every day.
The second is a double faced reverse, the obverse is a dark face with diamonds along the top and bottom. This is a manual and used on high days only. Had a strap replacement, original didn’t last long due to the effects of hand cream so now has leather or alligator on it. Jlc straps aren’t cheap!

" Jlc straps aren’t cheap!" Thats exactly why i'm looking for a reverso owner!!! I want one of those casa fagliano straps they make for the reverso.

Have you looked at Camille Fournet straps? Think they used to make straps for jlc

They are good but its the design i'm after

casa fagliano

How much do JLC want for one of those?

I see there are some Etsy knock-offs that aren't outrageously priced.

I found a site this morning selling them for $295

Looks pretty big for a ladies watch, what size is it?

Also anyone got thoughts on the Baltic MR01 which launches tomorrow? I quite like it

Baltic MR01

Yeah, I like it. Price is better than I expected too. Would have accepted another hundred for a better finished case. It just needs to be finished a bit sharper and it would look as good as any Longines or whatever.

They've been hammering the insta ads. I don't like the seconds subdial, a center hand salmon dial would be sweet.

I guess the big dog watch companies should wake up to smart watches

To save further Bing'ing

I really want to like this. It just doesn't spark joy.
