What time is it? Watches and horology

Don’t tell anyone but @ChainBreaker with his supposedly giant wrists was able to close the clasp on my SPB313 when he tried it on.

Next you'll be telling us his hugs are so-so.

supposedly giant wrists

Not sure you noticed but it's not my wrists that matter...

Late night photos which are freaking your partner out. “Merry Xmas Me”

Exciting! 👀 Merry Christmas!

This looks very nice IMHO.
I do like a Squale
Sellita 200?

Sellita 200?

Sellita a good movement, just mean it’s easier to service and be reliable.

I like the Squale too, skin diver vibe meaning much more wearable than their 1521.

Sadly not a watch, just some freebie watch stand from a GS promo last night. I would’ve been annoyed had I got mugged walking around with it.
I’ll upload some pics in a bit.

Lolz

I was there too (unsurprisingly) and was also given one. Just taken some pictures of it but it's so wack I can't bear to post them.

In other GS news this special edition for the new London boutique is flipping lovely. Like the grey European one but more a champagne colour. And only 50 pieces (vs 100).

They had the sample at the event last night but I completely failed to get a decent pic of it.

Rolex now offering certified pre-owned pieces through Burcherer, will be fully rolled out to all AD's in 2023 apparently. Im guessing this would only help genuine buyers, who already own a Rolex, potentially secure another through their AD. Will be interesting to see what price point they choose.

It’s not Rolex selling them, it’s Bucherer. Rolex are offering the certification service. So I don’t think it affects waiting lists much.

It does present the slightly weird situation of a Rolex AD asking £3k more for a four year old Oyster Perpetual than it does for a brand new one though.

wow that dial is amazing

Yeah, when I was in WoS on Regent St in October, it was funny to see a whole stacked cabinet of Rolex sports references... in their pre-owned section.... for 2x retail lol

Woof

It actually looks like that IRL as well.

Pretty good racket.

It’s soooo slim. Very nearly broke my abstinence. Also some Eichi II action and a little display of crusty vintage pieces caught my eye - 62 MAS, 6159 (Hi Beat), 6105 ‘Willard’ and a 6159-022 ‘Tuna’.

Red bezel presage was a tidy bit of value for money.

So many grubby fingerprints on it by that point…

I cant see anything.
Is that the joke?

I can, but I'm on a Mac, it might be an Apple video format?

I embedded an Imgur video, works for me?
Edit: weird. It was working, now I can’t see it on my phone but it’s there on my iPad.
