What time is it? Watches and horology

Thats pretty good. One day I'll set my Longines to the second and see how it does.

Nothing fancy, just an Oyster Perpetual with an interesting bezel.

Edit: I wrote machine turned, but it's not, I don't know the exact name.

It's tiny so that helps it stay under the radar, usually.

It's a lovely watch. Not surprised he complemented you.

“Engine turned” is the term for those.

Anyone after a nearly new 3861 moonwatch ?
24/12/21 bracelet still has plastic on. Uk sourced ( I sold it to him)
He wants £5000 for it.

A Moonwatch is for life, not just for Christmas

That is lovely
Meanwhile I’m trying to convince myself it’s café crème not root beer

Can you do a photo of it around the neck of a champagne bottle? Last one I need on my bingo card.

Love that, the lust won’t last, I apologise
But root beer doesn’t mean much to us brits , I think I had it once, was it sarsaparilla flavour .I’m more Dandelion & Burdock
I’ll scratch it soon and then it’s not new anymore

will you swap that for one delicately placed on a centre console of a warmed up Audi executive saloon?
that’s the only one i don’t have.

I could do one on the bedside table in a Ibis?

is that some only fans thing? not really into that but thanks for offering.

Not a particularly comfortable cock ring I would imagine.

That descended quickly .

Classic.

A client of mine has just messaged me to say that he's just bought a 2016 green submariner for £20 grand ( "unworn" , like they all are apparently) and what should he tell his insurance company.
I had to bite my tongue.........

For those who does not know; what would he need to tell his insurance?

What was the RRP on a 2016 Sub? £5000?

Insurance will say its used, 6 years old and worth £2k

That he's been mugged

Had a nice watch moment at work today
chap signing in had a sea dweller so I complimented him it was bought new 4 years ago he is chuffed to bits with it bless him
.

Hope everyone is doing well

It really puts you off the Brand , I spoke with an acquaintance this week that has always been into his dive watches and has had several sports Rolex on his wrist over the years , eventually started buying from a large well know dealer and now gets fairly regular sports watches that he’s registered interest in .
Some he’s flipped , one recently he sold to a dealer for a near £15 k mark up and promptly settled his car …. Honestly can you blame him .I couldn’t .
If there’s no warranty issue and a 5 year service , in which time he might have sold it anyway , how would Rolex know it’s changed hands .Does the new owner register it to maintain warranty ?
Not many would turn up that sort of easy money , so Rolex might not be the horological king but it’s the king of resale ?
To those in the trade is it temporary this HUGE markup ?
I mean you can’t even get on a wait list , it’ll turn a lot off the brand , but I suspect they’d all be turned back on if you could purchase at retail

Thanks! I much prefer it to the modern fluted bezel on my dad's new datejust. The new one looks too flashy, my mum convinced him to get something a bit more "interesting" in his old age.
