What time is it? Watches and horology

Sounds like a you problem.

Kidding. That sucks. Mine doesn't.

schooled, lol
thanks

Was it this one?

It's a great watch, but it can get you rendered to Guantanamo Bay https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/25/guantanamo-files-casio-wristwatch-alqaida

I’m absolutely mesmerised by this watch.

Modded SKX013 arrived today.

First off, very impressed with Oliver's services and would recommend.

Not to be a Debbie downer, but overall thoughts are; 1) I should have kept the OG black bezel, 2) I should have eaten the cost of ordering another set of hands with a white marker pip instead of the green. The green section is brighter and more pronounced under the crystal than I anticipated.

On the positive; 1) it'll be nice to wear a watch that tells the correct time and I like the hacking. 2) Definitely prefer the black day/date. I was worried that you'd loose the counterbalance of the 9 o'clock marker, but the white text makes it work. 3) bar the green pip the hands were the right choice. The brushed look works better with the rest of the watch and I always disliked the skx013's seconds hand.

Not sure if it is, but the aftermarket crown seems bigger. On the fence on whether I prefer it or the OG.

So overall happy. But if I get it serviced at some point in the future I'll probably see if I can get the second hand replaced with one without the green.

It was this beautiful beater.

Reminds me it needs a battery. Any recommendations on where to buy a decent one?

Not taken this off in sea, sun, pool and sand.

Makes you realise how dull the UK day light is as the Lume is so bright all the time when charged in proper sunshine.

Looks great. The pool looks even better!! Omega number 3?

Cheapily modded for a 1000m waterproof beater which is always handy

Yeah, a 300m quartz from 2006. A belter of a watch!

Looks in good nick. I still like the pool too😁

I don't hate this...

Don't hate their white dial diver either.

Crazy dial is actually nice

Both are very nice. Have you put one on your wrist though? I tried one a few years ago and it was like a solid slab of steel. So weighty!

These new Farer's are fun for a summer watch. 895GBP/$995. SW220-1 . Comes on bracelet and with two additional straps. Noice.

they look a bit of a busy mess to me

To be fair I agree. Also at the best part of a bag of sand I think I’d think twice. Still, I’m not wealthy.

No2 in the sort of teal isn’t unpleasant though.

I'll take a zodiac Super sea wolf over the farer

I wouldn't, based on movement alone. But yeah, the only Farer I'd take is the top one.

Remind me of the Mido.

You literally had the middle Zodiac, I forget why you didn’t get on with it?

Didn't think it was worth $1300. Easy flip.

Who did you get it modded by?
