What time is it? Watches and horology

I wonder if I could be a 1 watch guy with that.

@PawG - joke thread >>>>
🤣

My only qualm is the lug to lug look unusually short compare to the “traditional” 47mm of the 38mm khaki mech.

Looks good - is there a version with a bracelet too?

Well wasn't gonna say anything...

They have 30% off for black Friday at the minute..

Id say 47mm is quite long for a 38mm. The new lug-lug seems more fitting the size.

seen that before on here - it's gorgeous. you've had it a good few years now I think? Where did you buy it?
Smiths everest don't think so

Agree, hence “traditional” by Hamilton standard.

Yeah I bought it about 5 years ago, just before the birth of my first child - I’d had the idea I wanted a proper watch and knew my dad had his 36mm DJ that he wasn’t a fan of because it wasn’t particularly legible (ghost dial) - I wanted to get a smaller ‘poor man’s’ version with better legibility - having gone down various rabbit holes of Tudor ‘red’ rangers I ended up finding this with all the bits I’d started to like - smiling ‘self rotor’ small rose, smooth bezel etc - it was on eBay for a while then I messaged the seller with an offer and it turned out he lived a few doors down from my office so brought it over and the deal was done - I remember it was the day that the BB58 was released as I’d been invited to the launch at my local Tudor dealers…

I remember really liking the 36mm Black Bay on the night, the BB58 wasn’t doing it for me

I’m keeping an eye out for a bargain blue dial BB 32mm as I’m a fan of small watches - grail watch is a 32mm bubbleback…

I was all loving the 38mm Hamilton "Murph" then realised had this in the watch box. Close enough not to have to buy the Hamilton!

Like that a lot

Nice photos of some nice GSs here:

There's a GS9 event next week at the new GS boutique on New Bond Street. I somehow doubt there will be a castle, or DJs, or a Hoodwinkee photographer.

This is quite nice, not seen this before.

Look large?

Cheers, it's an older Seiko SARG011, so 40mm x 12.3 case. Actually wears really well. Lume is good too.

Thanks, I always forget I have it but really like wearing it. The serifed numerals bug me but it wouldn't be a Seiko without a few gripes!

Thanks for sharing! This one is wild

If I ever get invited to something like that (unlikely as it is), I'm wearing a Technomarine hat, just so I can lower the tone ....

Lols.

Talking of lowering the tone, I had the privilege of trying this beauty on the other night.

I hope you were at least on a boat

I repurchased the watch of my childhood recently....

Not out of place in TK Max imo.

It felt like wearing a small boat.

Wow. Can actually tell time in dark with that!

1 & 3 for me please, so clean.

Happy Friday!

I wanted this watch for a long time and now that I have it there is one unexpected thing that annoys me... Because the gold hands are flat they seem to dissapear completely sometimes.
