What time is it? Watches and horology

I’ve got an Ocean one for sale 39mm - black ceramic bezel but you can replace them

The red and blue on a GMT is meant to indicate daytime/nighttime hours (which is why bicolour 12 hour bezels are nonsense), but you also see bicolour bezel schemes on divers watches to indicate the first 15 or 20 minutes of the scale. Seiko use that a lot and have done for decades, most recently on their PADI special editions.

If you don't mind a divers watch on the sturdier side of things, I really like this model:

But if you're after a 40mm watch it'll be too big.

Thanks i couldn't find replacement inserts on the Steinhart website then read on watchseek they stopped doing them because they don't want them modded any more now you have to send your watch back to Steinhart who are offering direct replacements only which costs around 100€

The solar one I think I sold to @spotter is great too, it even have @Regal favourite misalignment.

Also seriously enjoying different colour combinations on theCitizen, just not in the workshop where the strap get oil and grease on it easily.

Are all the Seiko pepsi options 44-45 mm?

43.5mm, the lug to lug a shade under 50, but this made me chuckle;

198mm Maximum Wrist size

I'm not even sure if my bicep is 198mm

I need some funds, so would like to offer my Breitling Superocean Heritage ‘57 for sale.

I’ve only had it a month or so, and have only worn it once. It really is ‘as new’.

Looking for £2,750.00

You get a lot of watch for that money.

Watch is in SE10. Happy to cycle to most London post codes.

very tempted by the yellow one...I had the older one and my aging eyes struggled with the date

Guys in my new venture I will be selling preowned and am looking to build p a stock , not in a position to be buying things outright at the moment but if people want me to sell anything on a "commision " basis I would be happy to consider anything at the moment.
Would taken the hassle /worry out of any transaction.
message me if of interest.

Seems like a million years since I planned it, but I'm going to send my SKX013 off to https://www.instagram.com/o.n.atelier/ to have a NH36 movement upgrade plus some mods.

The OG movement has been demagnetised before, and is still running way too slow. I could have it serviced, but that still has a cost and this allows for upgrades at the same time.

Mods planned are a black day/date dial, Marine Master hands, and a coke bezel insert. Hoping the seconds hand won't be too long.

I am on the fence about the bezel. Thoughts?

Worth saying I got MM300 hands with a green lume pip on the second hand, so if I go for the coke bezel there will be red on the bezel, green on one hand and orange text. I am OK with green and orange, but red might be too much.

Argh. Want one but currently midway into kitchen remodel.

This model isn't going anywhere, I'm sure you'll be able to buy these for years. They might not do certain colours for very long, though. With G-Shocks if there's a colourway you really like it's probably a good idea to jump on it because you never know how long they'll keep it in production. All-black ones usually stick around, the colourful ones not so much.

Going to bear that in mind. Good luck with everything.

Cheers for the heads up.

Just can't quite decide if I like the accents on my equivalent. Kinda think green or yellow are the ones to go for, whereas I'd ideally like to upgrade and sell my current casioak.
