What time is it? Watches and horology

Battersea power station has deliveries multiple times a week. The in demand ones (moon, mercury) sell out that day and the others tye next day normally. Neptune is never in

Thanks both I’ll give it a whirl at battersea

I like this.. bracelet felt a bit cheap and didn’t quite taper enough but it seemed a decent size and not too chonky for an auto

On the topic of moonswatches, if anyone is able and willing to purchase a regular moon one for me I'd really appreciate it. I know its a very big ask of someone. Being in Bristol means I'm some distance away from where they might be available and when. Will pay a finders fee and postage I just can't afford the ebay prices. Cheers yak

Oh yes forgot to say, really liking this entire topic. Some beauties for sure

I am near the BPS store about once a week,I'll keep an eye out

I’m still trying for the Neptune but seems after Daniel Craig was seen wearing one it’s impossible

They are limited due to the pigment staining problem with the ceramic are they not?

My cousin picked one up in Laris last week though so still out there

See my fake £28 AliExpress Mars is made from cheap plastic which doesn't stain but keeps comparable quartz time. #swingsnroundabouts

Kind of unusual (in that the design is really quite minimal, especially for Seiko) and appealing new solar chronographs from Seiko with 1/100th second measurement. They didn’t even put a date on it.

Really quite like those, especially the lack of a date (not a fan of Seiko’s usual treatment of date window) but not keen on the sub-dial for the time.

SOLD

I have not worn this much, just the usual special occasion which are far and few nowadays.

Probably worn it a total of a week maybe.

SOLD I’m asking £265, collect Catford or signed delivery.

They’ve got form for that subdial layout though…

Ah no, a bit different.

Dunno what you mean - the neptune is readily available on Chrono24 for the bargain price of £2,750: https://www.chrono24.co.uk/swatch/moonswatch--id28657407.htm

I'm particularly enjoying the squeaked "[negotiable]" the seller's put in after the price. Who said anything about Chrono24 having optimistic prices?

Come back to the fold - you don't need any of that elegant Cartier stuff, some good 'ol roughabout chonk is where the magic really happens. Didn't you once put your Pam in your boots and then leave them somewhere? I bet you wouldn't get those sorts of adventures with your Drive (mainly cos it's way too pretty to stuff in your footwear).

I like that, looks like a big paw print. Also possibly the best implementation of the dreaded "PS" on their line-up.

Those are new to me! Yeah, very similar apart from the date. Seiko's steampunk era?

Hahahha true.. never should have sold that one.. pam390. I will get another one someday, panerai remains my favourite brand eventhough i dont own one..
the cartier the breitling and a panerai and i'm done.

Somehow all the unused space on the dial bothers me a bit

I think it's quite refreshing to see a serious chronograph without a tachymeter scale.

The all-black dial looks quite different. And the bronze dial would probably look alright on a different strap.

Would anyone anyone be able to give me some info about this? Model / ref and approx year??

That's an Oyster Perpetual Date (34mm Datejusts are called Dates, right up to the one they discontinued not that long ago, and I'm not 100% sure why), pretty sure it's a reference 15010 rather than the later 15210, from the late 80s / early 1990s.

Thanks Regal, I knew someone would be able to help..

No problem.

Actually it's definitely a 15010 because 15210s have sapphire crystals.
