What time is it? Watches and horology

5 digit Rolex is where it’s at for me. 4 digit usually looks better, but feels too fragile for daily wear. 6 digit are just clumsy in comparison.

Sadly that watchfinder link doesn’t work for me…

Quote like the idea of this new Sinn T50... I'm all in for ti at the moment. Although looking at the AUD price it's way overpriced

I quite like their GoldBronze (stupid name) T50 version

at 41mm, its the perfect size. (Personal Experience May Vary)

But at EUR5000, its not a whimsical decision either

at 41mm, its the perfect size.

What is this? A watch for giants?

By way of comparison -

That's a much more "correct" looking example, in the UK, for under 10k. No box or papers, and no way of knowing from a C24 ad how much of a bitsa it is - the pics aren't really even good enough to see if the dial and hands are relumed - so it's still probably overpriced but it's an awful lot better than that W*tchfinder piece.

Alternatively, a far better condition and much more honest-looking late model SEL 16710 at the WF end of the price spectrum (and again, I'm not saying it's worth the asking price, just for comparison): https://swisswatchtrader.co.uk/products/rolex-gmt-master-ii-16710-coke-bezel-for-sale-2007

This one is great looking

SWT does take some nice photos though

£1k more and you can get a mint black (non-gaudy) cerachrom - https://swisswatchtrader.co.uk/products/rolex-gmt-master-ii-116710ln-new-old-stock-nos

Even includes the original receipt for the amount of €4000 😂

The results of the Seiko 5 "customize" campaign are in - basically they made an online customizer and the most popular user-created designs in each region are being made into limited editions.

L-R: Japan, Americas, Europe, Asia (plated with real gold, lol).

I like gaudy... Thank you very much

If its mint NOS, i can kinda see why you would pay the equivalent of a new one... IF a new one cost 15k... Its a good looking watch.

But an obviously used, and not a rare example, for 5.5 times the price of its rrp ( SIXTEEN YEARS AGO) - all of this bs... get in the sea (not you obv... youre great)

Just not a huge fan of the polished centre links

NGL, I’m liking the SRPK05.

Don't think i like any of them

The older one is cool

No, me neither. But it’s interesting to see what was popular in each region…

Yes that’s true

Good morning people

Happy Friday all.

This is still running at -45 s/d despite Seiko giving it a full service under warranty (it was -1.5 s/d before it got magnetised somewhere) so I think a trip to Alsal might be on the cards.

Bloomberg on rolex dip

It's a correction, not a dip. I think it could be corrected a lot more tbh

Lol I know 😉

Back to 2017ish levels do you reckon?
