What time is it? Watches and horology

Broad hand Polerouters make me go weak at the knees, very nice.

I guess u have to be a fan. 😁

Not had Cartier for about 4 years.
But we will be Grand seiko this time next month……

Happy Friday all

Miss panerai..

I'd advise not taking the movement apart unless you've found the manual and ideally also someone online that's written about servicing it. Even then it may be difficult. I took apart a really nice Timex watch and learnt the hard way that I'd need around 7 hands to get it back together again...

A lot of people take the movement out of the case and dial off, then dunk in lighter fluid, reverse and pray. Obviously you wouldn't do this with a more expensive watch but Timex's can be really difficult to get back together again. Not necessarily recommending this, but it could be worth a shot depending on how expensive yours was.

Alternatively have a look at the hands and make sure they're clear from each other, common if someone like me has tinkered with it.

I will curb my urge to dick about with it. I was thinking more like hypersonic clean

Hypersonic clean - when you want it cleaned and fast!

It's one of my grails TBF.

Presumably I remove the battery and lob it in. I’ll check the hands but I won’t be pulling it apart. Not with my sausage fingers

My most loved Seiko

Happy Friday. My friend had a nice 70s 6694 on
Lovely. Standard dial? The bracelet tapers to be so thin near the clasp

Standard dial?

No, they’re redials or refinishes meant to look like the (much more expensive) “Stella dial” Day-Dates.

Yeah. This. @bobble Look at how fine and perfectly printed the text is on a genuine dial, compared to the thick, unrefined text on the yellow one.

Love this! So refined looking with nice details like the shapes batons at 9 and 3.

Late to the party. Have a good weekend!

How hard is it to get the moon swatch these days?

When I can find one this is the one I’d like to get. Is that an AliExpress strap? Looks good

It's from here. I'm sure there are cheaper options!

I recently went in the swatch shop in Edinburgh and the one in Battersea power station - they had all the moonswatchs just not the moon or Neptune
