What time is it? Watches and horology

Ejay2.0 taught you well 😂😂😂

I'm very happy with the results. Thank you :)

Is your visor steamed up? 😁

It has been very humid this evening. Very dirty air in London today.

Dull and wet here - as mentioned in a previous post. Not biking weather or close to it.
Maybe give your camera lenses a wipe? Or is is a new way of photographing watches? I’m too old for new things!😁

I gave it a quick wipe and it's cleared it right up

Love how the details pop on that one.

I need to clean my gleeks! Or visit the optician very soon 😁

I have the Peli case from casefarm.. it’s burly as you can imagine but the reality is I’m not transporting 6 watches anywhere so overkill.. the clasps take significant force to close with the outcome being I leave the case open most of the time (and risk the whole thing getting knocked over by rampaging kids) .. therefore it’s neither really protecting my watches nor displaying them.

I honestly think that thinness is something that generates a lot of noise in the comments sections but probably doesn't affect overall sales all that much.

Seems weird to me... If I wear an ordinary watch I'm often annoyed by it interacting with my sleeve; I'd've thought that would be a common experience that would have a lot of folks looking for stuff on the thinner side, but apparently not... Although for what it's worth, this regularly gets compliments when I wear it. (6.5mm, and the non-chrono Skin is 4mm!)

You'd think that would be the case, but Tudor sell plenty of Black Bays and Breitling have had their best year in ages. It matters to a lot of people, but by no means all.

And the 36 Datejust, and the 36 Day-Date…

I have a Squale that is double AR coated. I like it. There are some very minor marks in the coating but I don't care because it's a tool watch and gets treated as such. Also, it's a flat crystal so it's a lot less exposed than a box sapphire would be.

Friend of a friend is looking for a Tag. Has anyone suggestions for the best place to purchase one?

I suppose the main thing would be to try and find an AD that will give you a discount. I.e., not a Tag boutique or a Watches of Switzerland. Maybe Mappin & Webb or Goldsmiths.

The new(ish) 40mm Aquaracer Professional is a decent looking watch.

Yeah best to just find a sale at a highstreet chain like Goldsmiths.

They're a bit too shiny IMO. But yes in principle they're obviously largely unchanged.

Thanks for the info. I will pass it on.

just get your shirtmaker to make the cuff 1 cm bigger

Don't wear a shirt

Jura Watches do tag. They’re usually happy to offer a min of 10% just for asking.

How did it come to have the extra coat? Do any manufacturers offer it?

So many people dressing down these days...doing up your cuffs is on the decline. Cufflinks an endangered species.

It’s standard (or was) on the 50 Atmos / 1521. You do see some manufacturers do it.

Thanks for that.
