What time is it? Watches and horology

Dial is a bit busy. Quite unlike your other purchases. More of a dress option?

No it needs to be '69 .

From my point of view, the use of Times New Roman all over the dial. It's a quality watch though.

Impressive, it looks just like a real watch

Yeah the guy’s a great artist. 🤓

I don't think there's a way round that

Double denim dude ranch kind of afternoon.

Is that rawhide?

documentary on rounding up calves to debag them so they become steers.

I've seen that documentary.

the bit with the big red hot tool and gripping the sac made me wince.

Isn't that an Opera?

Lightweight day

Really like this B&R

Completely forgot I had this and I was even more surprised (considering my recent purchase) to see it was a Bulova.

As far as I can tell it's a Treasurer from no later than 1937.

BFK for scale :)

I expect I should just copy this into the GC thread, but whatever:

My other watches would all, to varying degrees, be classed as sports watches I would say.

The Seamaster 1948 is probably the closest I have to a dress watch.

I've got a Seamaster/Speedmaster/Railmaster and a Submariner - so probably time to try to round things out a little.

I'm also oddly fascinated by JLC as they seem to be universally regarded as fantastic quality, but (possibly because they don't play the same games as Rolex in terms of supply and marketing) they depreciate, so whereas a Rolex lists at say eight grand and is therefore only available second hand for eleven and up, JLC's are both available new (ten and a half for the Master Geographic) or second hand (six and a half for the watch I linked IIRC).

It's like a glimpse into a more normal world.

Obviously the font will make Regal push me in front of a tube train at some unknown point in the future, but some things in life you can't change.

The font thing is just a cross I have to bear. No reason for it to affect anyone else’s enjoyment of their watches. In fact I hope you all get some schadenfreude/entertainment from watching me suffer every time someone uses a system font on a watch.
