What time is it? Watches and horology

Entering rolex territory with that price

They’ve been there for a while. An Aqua Terra is more expensive than an Oyster Perpetual and verging on Datejust money.

Aqua Terra

I'm a massive fan of the AT as well.

Red numeral date wheel is nice touch on those, get well soon.

Thinking of getting a Sinn 556i as a daily. Any similar looking alternatives for £1000-£1300 that isn't a Seiko or Microbrand? Sub 39mm.

Get the Sinn!

This ^

Happy Saturday yall 😊

But buy the Sinn you've nailed your own breif

I like the repeating countdown timer when I’m making bread

You might find a Bell & Ross BR V1-92 second hand within budget, but tbh there aren’t that many watches that nail that brief as well as the Sinn 556 does, especially if you don’t want a Seiko. The Squales are good though.

Have you tried one on before? I was surprised at how chonky it was. So ymmv with that. Definitely recommend trying to buy one used though. The current RRP is high for what you’re getting - in my opinion - compared to the RRP of yesteryear.

I’ve been after a 656 for a long time, but just can’t find the right one. If no luck, I’d get a 556A. If you buy 2nd hand, you can get nice examples well under £1k. I think @inchpincher owns a 556i?
But yeah, definitely get the Sinn. Or a Damasko…

Bloody hell. They were £700 about 5 years ago!

5 years ago we were in the EU.

Even Decathlon bicycles are now almost twice the price.

Yeah everything has skyrocketed in price. Will keep my eyes peeled for a used one.

It’s been five years since you sold me yours and it still gets worn every week.

@psee I really rate the 556, no-nonsense daily watch, super legible and a total strap monster (it’s well worth getting one on a bracelet if you can though).
If you’re in and around London at some point you’re welcome to try mine.

Friday reveal or now?

Tease

Also, Retailer - you had one job to do

They fail at this every time from what I've seen.

White gold Nautilus?

Invicta 🤔

SBGA407?

Now! I can’t wait
