What time is it? Watches and horology

wonder why that never caught on.

Those crystals were made of transparent processed cheese.

But I also remember checking the time and having to move them to the side to actually read the watch face. But. Fashion!

Yeah, the crystal on mine was scratched to shit pretty quickly, unsurprisingly. I think my parents got it replaced before I passed it on to my sister.

Or this bad boy

both the Paulin and the Max bill are lovely!

just wow

My daughter landed her first job,

she wants a watch.

I am about to ring my 77 year old Mum and ask why I didn't receive a gift when she turfed me out with the instruction "get a job or get out of my house" when I was 17 :D

probably cause she went willingly - LOL

Good point. It wasn't until I realised how much more beer and beak I could buy that the benefits of work became apparent to me...

Thanks all , Junghans, Paulin ,Sternglass suggestions passed on.

Who's pumped for W&W then? Only two days until another load of new Rolexes you can't buy

But also new Grand Seiko mm-mm.

I want a GMT variant of the new hi-beat dual impulse escapement movement.

What we'll probably get is another eight existing watches but with slightly different textured dials and coloured seconds hands based on the ancient Japanese tradition of harmony with nature

A mad lad GS digi analogue diver would be welcome

A plastic snowflake Grand Seiko x Seiko 5 collab: Snowfake

Fuck the scalpers!

I want a Diesel x Urwerk time computer as long as it’s at least 50mm and does siderial, UTC and perpetual.

As predicted by that guy on Reddit! I'm relieved that he was right. But I'm sure some scalpers have made a mint by now.

I can't imagine Rolex doing a cheap plastic collab. We're more likely to see a backlash against Rolex prices, and more demand for fakes. But I would say that, wouldn't I?

Lol

Guess no-one. Who's excited over watches you can't buy even if you had the dough.

Give us a cheap replica in bulk, is what i say. oh wait

Pro Trek has arrived - no duty to pay and it wears much smaller than I thought it might. Only tried it on for a minute before I had to head out but the strap feels great, I was thinking about swapping to a nato but don’t think I’ll bother.

Now I just need to work out how to control the thing…

Errrrrrr where the photo at

Preference size wise?

So when that gonna go live then? 😁

They've been up since Saturday afternoon. I've been going to check the site regularly to see when they're in stock.
