What time is it? Watches and horology

Reliably informed he has it on ignore

in my mind all users live in catford (wherever that is)

I only tried it on for a minute before having to run out the house.

First day wearing it today, triple sensor is probably overkill for the commute to Tileyard but I’m enjoying it so far.

Watch looks both rugged AND adventurous. Think you made the right call.

PS - Doughnut bar tape is amazing.

Are you documenting your tour anywhere?

those are lovely though

Yeah, the green does look good and case dimensions are perfect. Also like that they switched to a silver rotor. rather than gold. Be interested in the dial finish as states its metallic. Looks like film grain.

why so small (38.5mm)

case dimensions are perfect

for some (crying laughin face)

Were not all Diesel wearers over here

Limited to 100 pieces

Can actually select the number, ironic considering what was talked about earlier. Only ships in Germany though?

Thats quite cool

69 taken - im out

Haa!

Has anyone used a zuludiver NATO strap before?
quality any good?
Looking at grabbing a couple and a lunar strap.

Which you could argue both look very similar to an IWC Calatrava from the same era. Who knows.

very moog. Nice!

Love the green. They literally did copy the Rolex palette though, didn't they.

Kinda, with the script. But not the lugs, or the markers, dot track, etc. Those IWCs are straight Patek imitations.

Anyway, Japanese watches of that era were obsessed with imitating Swiss watches (could argue GS still are), so, yeah, not an enormous amount of innovation, but it's about the execution and the small details. I do think those new Citizens are pretty clearly "inspired" by Grand Seiko product of the last decade or two if you look at the cases and dials.

I think I have a few. They're fine, probably a little better than a cheapo one. Very long, although that's what some people want from their NATO

Yes, true true true.
