What time is it? Watches and horology

Rolex Datejust / Oyster Perpetual is the classic one nice watch for either gender. It’s incredibly hard to go wrong with one as long as it’s clean and legit.

Thought I'd get this one out. Cheers for the nudge

On the watches for partners topic, my wife basically nicked my moonwatch and it definitely looked better on her than it did on me. Taste is such a personal thing, I’d deffo head to a WoS (and if you’re in London then maybe give Selfridges/Harrods a visit too) and just have a mooch.

Stag do in Cardiff today, the activity is white water rafting so thought I'd put a more suitable watch on.

If you’re going for a night out in Cardiff, the white water rafting is going to be the least hair-raising thing you’ll do/see today :)

Push the crown back in? I think we know how that will end otherwise.

New AnOrdain Model 2 - I think I was expecting it to be more different from the old one but the light grey dial one is not unattractive, as is the mustard colour ("flax").

39.5mm option for @ChainBreaker too.

Don't go to VWC. Total rip off merchants.

What bezel is that? It looks great.

I want to get an SKX, but need to chose mod options as they are cheaper than stock second hand now.

It's from namokimods [https://www.namokimods.com/collections/skx013-bezel-inserts/products/skx013-ceramic-bezel-insert-dual-time-style-red-blue-pepsi]

(it's in a coin edge bezel)

It is a stone cold banger

So. I got hands on with the W&W sample. I think this watch is going to be a big deal. Honestly, it works so well in the metal. I'm not normally wild for titanium, or anything over 13mm tall, but it is a killer watch. The "Evolution 9" design seems very well suited to a sports watch (for one thing, the bigger hands and markers make more sense when they're filled with lume) and I love all the details, the dial, the case, the bezel numerals.

It's knocking on the door of polar Explorer II (16570) prices, mind, but the level of watchmaking is pretty damn high.

Wrist shot?

And you don't have a wristy??? I am disappoint.

Edit: oops lol

It is in!! Cheeky bastard.

Wasn’t able to, unfortunately. I won’t go into why.

New Captain Cook Over Pole is fun. $2400. Would bang.

I vote for the new Cartier Tank or any Cartier tank for women. Timeless and elegant.

Nah

But what else will make me feel like Don Draper?

Leather strap though, hope it won't get wet!

I thought you were all about Roger Sterling's Tudor?

How did this end-up in Cash Converters?

Haha good memory. But there's no way I'll find one of those at a price I'd be willing to pay nowadays.

Starched white shirt and too much whisky?
