What time is it? Watches and horology

Pre Christmas purchase for myself , nostalgia as was my first proper posh watch back in the early 90’s.
Was watching on eBay and the unexpectedly the vendor offered at a 50% discount.
Tag H s/el leather , all curves and sooo slim. And a bit different.
Also as I’m off to work in our Windsor store where we have a Tag shop in shop , I needed one to wear.

I needed one to wear.

is MrsEjay on here now?

You never need an excuse for n+1!

I'm not supposed to be spending any money, I had a bit of a sporadic employment record this year.
After leaving the jewellers I had spent 23 years at helping build the business from one shop to 5 , because I needed a change , the two organizations I worked for subsequently turned out to be so unprofessional that I couldn't cope with them.
And so I have returned to Robert Gatward. Grass is never greener they say. But I didn't expect it to be a muddy field covered in bullshit.

Looks legit

Surely only a matter of time before some enterprising fellow starts a waiting list for snide Rolex, qualifying criteria to include buying half a dozen from a chap on the beach

I don’t tend to wear brown so would go black, but YMMV.

I have actually bought three of those Mittenwald straps in black, in 18, 19 and 20mm to have as an option for various watches. They’re a great go-to.

Hmm I'm tempted to get one of these, 114/82 are odd lengths though...🧐

I managed to get the bracelet sized on this yesterday so first wear today. It's really comfortable on the bracelet so may wait until summer before i put it on a rubber strap. Great lume too.

It looks fast

Wow! that is one great watch!

That case is sharp. Love it.

Cheers Regal gave me the confidence to take the plunge on this case shape as i hadn't had a chance try one on yet. I was worried the flat case and tall steep angles could make this look like a slab on my skinny wrists but the lug to lug is nice and short and somehow it manages to look chunky but almost dainty at the same time. It feels heavy in the hand but not on the wrist. I think this model gets overlooked as at rrp it's a lot of money for a quartz but i managed to get this 40% less than that and i can't find a mark on it so i think i got a relative bargain.

Happy New year all. You'll never get bored of timeless elegance. Same goes for those socks 👌

Christmas socks are timeless. Not sure about elegant.

Also, they have space rockets on them so…

Happy New Year all!

Happy New Year to all,
