What time is it? Watches and horology

I had a cheeky incoming yesterday, so wearing this big boi. Perfect, fun dive watch?

Funky looking Rotary with royal Oak nautilus vibes keeps popping up on insta. Please make it stop....

Honestly a classic. Seems fine on your wrist.

thanks

Think of it as a Superman Shield

That orange is lovely though.

Happy Friday ya'all

With the hype beast fuelled Moonswatch fever receding, does anyone have one?

So my 556 came into to the distributor on Wednesday. Just took delivery of it. Some initial thoughts:

Like don’t love
The bulk of this deployant is ridiculous and leads to a very unbalanced feeling
Lugs could curve more for my wrist
Probably will sell (for what I paid for it)

It was a gamble as I’d never tried one on or even seen a 556 in person.

It’s nice though. Really nicely finished, as is the movement. Still, I’ll spend a few days with it and see how I get on.

Automatik with a K?

German innit.

@JB that clasp does look beefy!

But 'made in germany' not whatever that is in german.

A bremont I'd own

Hergestellt in Deutschland doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it now?

I like it. Would look great on an Erika

The whole watch is tbh, including the strap itself. Very, very thick. Just don't think I'm destined for 36mm+ watches.

Prospex Arnie 40th

Wasn't the digital screen at the top on the og?

Interesting. I usually don’t like thick watches either, but then again… see what I posted earlier 😂

Strap is bizarro thick on top of the chunky deployant. Watch itself looks nice.

Yes, and they’ve been selling a line of more accurate recreations with the screen at the top for the past couple of years. These are a new model I think.

Happy Friday to all - just back from holiday and bracing for the fact that tomorrow morning’s breakfast will not look anything like this

Put this on a fake Erica I had. Not convinced

I had mine on a Steveo strap for a while, not sure why I changed it now tbh.
