What time is it? Watches and horology

I really should get this, I love the font and the sizes, very wearable?

But which one is you?

(snicker snicker)

(well done dude!)

@Regal great stuff.

very wearable?

It's a bit small TBH (looks bigger in the image than on the wrist).

I'll probably keep it as a casual dress watch, but I doubt it will get a huge amount of daily wear.

I think that’s very cool.

I like it. It’s a fun design. How’s the price/quality ratio?

Heh, thanks, and everyone else too.

I was saying to Thomas that I thought the Longines heritage chrono was a good example of vintage-style dial text done really, really badly, and he agreed and said he’d given the gilt Record version a bit of a pasting on Fratello when he had it in for review, heh.

It’s a fun design. How’s the price/quality ratio?

I was attracted to the design when I ordered it.

From memory (cos it was a while ago) I paid about £550 for the watch, and I got hit with about £120 tax and admin charges.

It's not a £770 watch.

It's very light (admittedly I've been wearing some chunky watches recently) and doesn't feel particularly solid. The strap is very cheap and poor quality.

It's not a bad watch, and I'll keep it, but for something I was looking forward to getting for ages it's left me feeling a little deflated.

I've been looking at a couple of salmon dialed models recently. I quite like the look of this. Hot or not?

Love this. Why aren’t these more popular?! Apparently I have a boner for 70’s style watches.

Sorry to hear that. Its why despite really wanting to order something sub 1k from a micro brand, I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't feel it'll ever live up to my expectations.

On the other hand I have a Paulson Pearl Diver that I bought as a cheap daily and I love it. Wear it in preference to several much more spenny watches.

i like it. i blow hot and cold on salmon dials. bit preppy.

i picked up the anOrdain salmon dial (lacquer not enamel model). will post a pic in 3 months

Vrrry nice.

What year is that?

I know seriously under valued.

I think early 70’s , probably 1974.

Sorry. Funeral got in the way (to which I wore this). Think that one is even nicer tbf. Lovely watch.

Excuse the bad pic. I'm blaming the curse of @ejay2.0

That still looks as good to me.
And much better after it was serviced by STS.
Hopefully mine will come up as well as that.

The dial is a lot less smudged irl and really pops in the right light.

It's in the rare category of one of 2 watches that I own that someone will always comment on / ask about every time I wear it. Thanks again 😀👍

How much should I budget for laser refinishing of this case and bezel? And who should I get to do it?

Surely a Marathon is supposed to look beat up

Well, yes. It really only needs a new bezel insert and a decent bracelet. But I'd like to know how much it would be to tart up the case etc. Haven't bought it yet. Trying to overcome the desire.

Good morning and happy Friday people!
