What time is it? Watches and horology

+1

Have you done this? Ive been planning on doing it at some point.

How much would you like for it?

I got https://www.instagram.com/o.n.atelier/ to upgrade my SKX013 with a NH36 movement.

So far so good. Really odd winding action tho. I initially thought I'd wound it the wrong way.

Thanks for the heads up. What sort of cost should I expect to get it done?

Seiko Lordmatic today.

I'll PM you, @Dramatic_Hammer has first dibs though.

New Squale on today custom leather strap from the strap tailor on its way for this. The milanese is the comfiest bracelet I've worn though. This is definitely my summer watch

WFH so thought I'd change it up a bit. Really like this thjng, especially on the green barton.

It went better with my earlier outfit. But I just noticed how awful my t-shirt looked on video and my bedroom is currently out of bounds.

No colour here but WFH so accurate timing is essential.
Forgot how much I like the flat-link bracelet!

Awful awful numerals/typography. Absolutely horrific. Clearly done by someone who has no idea what they’re doing. Embarrassingly bad.

It’s actually ruined my day even though it’s exactly what I expect from Tudor.

The only positive is they've removed the square on the hour hand.

For a novice what's the issue? The fact that it looks like a weak Explorer rip-off or something else?

You mean second hand? Which was true to the original.

I checked, RANGER is what you get when you type it in Arial in open office.
At least to my uneducated eye.

But who would expect a watch brand, from a country that has zero good (font) designers, to do better?

To a non-designers the loops of the 6 and 9 look particularly out of place.
Compare to the old versions.

I was confusing it with the black bay 36 which has the shit hour hand.

Ignore me.

This can’t be right can it?
