What time is it? Watches and horology

Yeah, it was also supposedly a limited release and they've struggled to sell them everywhere. They were discounted a while ago in the U.S. from 1750 to about 1250. Still can't shift them. When you put it up against something from the likes of Sinn or Oris at the same price, they don't look very appealing at all.

Anything i should know about a Squale Pepsi ceramica gmt? I'm on a stock notification from Gnomon and should be back in 3-4 weeks

Classy 😎

Na. They use proper movements and know how to build a watch. Both Squale's I've had were great. And they pass the @Regal test!

As far as I understand, Fossil started building movements under the STP brand in 2008, so they've been around for a while. Most of the Zodiac watches use STP movements - they are owned by Fossil after all. However, for their GMT/World Time watches, they've used Soprod movements which haven't been tested as much and seemingly just aren't as reliable.

I mean, it really perturbs me that Zodiac's website just lists 'Movement: Automatic' on the spec listings for watches. I think its so disingenuous. The brand is aimed at watch enthusiasts...

Lovely watch. I don't understand why you wear anything else.

I doesn't appear to be THAT kind of beach...

LolZ

It's in stock now, for me anyway.

I tried to order the one on the heritage bracelet without cyclops and it said it was in stock but when i placed the order i was emailed about a short delay but given the option to order and wait or wait for the stock alert and because I'm on a never ending waiting list for my new bike i don't trust eta's at the moment. I will say though their customer service has been excellent as i had a couple of questions about different models and taxes. Hopefully I'll have one sooner rather than later 🤞

Yeah but your other watches suck compared to this

100%, like, not even a decent Seiko.

New (to me) watch day. Previous owner swapped in MM300 hands and added a few chips to the bezel, the case is still mint though. Really liked the look of these when they first landed so happy to have a new daily for the summer.

That glove looks like a sleeve! Took me a second to work out which way your arm was round….

I’m being really boring today as monitoring my heart rate;

Been very out of sorts for the last week (and off my feed) but actually felt really strong today and cranked out some very fast gravel miles (well, fast for me).

True say.

They are cosmetic like Seiko.

We all like a steak @ Hawksmoor.

That said I still love a McDonald's from time to time...

Don't see the beef.

Totally agree, cheap watches are also fun / interesting / great.

Yeah my Squale 1521 was the watch that got me into mechanical watches so I have a big soft spot for them, but also just objectively it is a fantastic watch for the money and a proper divers watch with some great heritage.

Zodiac also has some great history, but they’re further removed from it in their current Fossil group form. (Not that Squale are above making Sub homages, sadly.)

No problems, if i knew you was deffo coming over i would have hung on. Next time mate.

I was looking good to pop by well in time, got as far as Reception only to be called back for one last task!!!

As you say, next time.

Kidding. I wear one of the ugliest watches ever created.

Wife stole my Constellation for our anniversary lunch.
