What time is it? Watches and horology

I really need to find mine, they’re so comfortable and small.

Yeah that's why I just don't seem to take it off, forget its there.....seems to get a lot of comments always also

I like that it still look big due to the 18mm strap.

Yeah a lot more chunky than my usual casio! got me looking at more now......might buy this:

Saw this one for sale second hand and quite like it, its a Citizen an0880.
Its quarts and not super cheap, doesn't anyone know anything about these and the quality??

Just like how a 24mm strap makes a big watch look small?

Lol

True. Lots of the fake bags cost $2000. https://www.fl8588.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=83_751_939&sort=p.price&order=DESC

Oooooof that Zissou one is proper tasty

Anyone have a g shock gmw b5000d-1 they want to speak about? I am close to buying but worried the bracelet might be junk?

This thread reminded me that I haven't worn my Vostok for many years now... the bracelet is a bit crap, maybe I should replace it.

Several of us have one I think. I really like mine - I was lukewarm on it to begin with but totally came round to it.

The bracelet is fine. It’s an unusual construction - basically every removable link is joined with a spring bar. Works well. Doesn’t feel any worse or cheaper than a comparably priced Seiko.

I've got one. No complaints about bracelet whatsoever. To me the whole thing is beautifully finished but then again I'm not that hard to please. I think @Regal has/had one? He's got a far more discerning eye...

Edit: should have refreshed.

Heh. Yeah, obvs it’s not a Rolex bracelet but it suits the watch well and doesn’t let it down at all.

I've got the gold one. The bracelet is outstanding. Proper engineering, in a different class to the plastic G-Shocks. (I'm going to sell it when I can get round to doing photos.)

You be surprised! The 45mm Helson dwarfed the strap.

Bargain

Thanks all , resounding endorsements. I might try and brush the polished bits, anyone had a go? I saw a guy on another forum got his bead blasted but that’s a bit ambitious for me I reckon.

Is that a missprint?

Possibly not

Just seen the prices for GMT masters on Chrono24- are people paying that?

Dunno but if they are they're fucking stupid.

If you're going Quartz, I get a lot of mileage out of a Seiko 7A28-701A (~£300).

However, you would need to put a calendar up on your wall.
