What time is it? Watches and horology

I got a new strap for my Steinhart from Zulu Diver and got a £10 code from them, it's

BZVRCJ67

if of any use to anyone.

I was actually about to order a new NATO from WatchGecko, so went to Zulu Diver to use the code but it said I can't use it. Maybe someone already snapped it up.

Oh, weird - just had another look to check I copied it right and it says it's only valid for £35 or over but otherwise I guess someone must have done!

Ah that would explain it, was only going for an £18 strap, but useful if you're buying a couple.

Well it’s gorg and looks fab with the watch

"As the space race began to heat up in the 1960s, the brave men and women that conquered space became international heroes. In 1963, astronauts from NASA’s Mercury flight program visited Japan to much fanfare. Rolex seized this opportunity by introducing a special release of the 1016 Explorer. This watch was essentially identical to other 1016s from that time, but featured the words “Space-Dweller” on the dial instead of “Explorer”. The Space-Dweller was produced in very small numbers and was only available for a short period to the Japanese market before being abandoned by Rolex."

Nice new 40mm 44GS with the latest 9SA5 hibeat in it (which means it's eight grand, but also under 12mm thick and with an 80-hour power reserve).

Not sure if an eBay cross post is allowed here but i'm looking to sell my Hamilton Jazzmaster in Rose Gold and Alpina Alpine quartz if anybody is interested?

Are these unobtainable at retail if you walk into a tudor store?!

Oh the joy of finding a watch you thought you’d lost .
Edit .. wife found it really

I quite like that.

Where did you get the yachtmaster bezel from?

15/20 people on the lists as far as I know 🤷‍♂️ seems quite popular, this one

Thanks it was DLW

That's a fair price - alas, to stretch the Top Gun references, my greedy eyes are trying to write cheques my bank account can't cash.

(sorry for the dredge - didn't want to be rude and not reply!)

I'd be open to offers as renovation bills will soon be piling up! So feel free to drop me an questions etc :)

Sick. Don’t want to know the price.

Less than I'd have thought

Same tbh

Very cool!

The SBGW047 is just… perfect. It’s perfect.

Friday arvo strap change. Been wanting to get a better fitting rubber strap for the Samurai, I think this crafter blue fits the bill.

New strap. NATO's are a bit cumbersome aren't they?

Ordered another new strap for this and my Squale this week from the Strap Tailor but I'm really impressed with the quality and value for money of this one from Two Stitch still
