What time is it? Watches and horology

Love this.

Thanks! Two Railmasters in this thread today, which I suspect is unusual.

got my speedy reduced back from service and a very gentle polish + new plexi. looks great now and time to sell. i think £1850 is a fair price. will put up on chrono24/ebay etc over the next week

Tucked in under the case just above 4 o’clock. That’s the reissue of the OG.

Where should it be?

Yeah it was a big boy collector’s GS, platinum case etc.

I think it would do them no harm to have a VFA line of “special” versions of some of their existing watches, but then in a way it’s probably worth more to them to use it to market LEs to the wealthier and more dedicated collectors who actually give a crap.

Also one minute per month is not necessarily a huge selling point now when a) spring drive exists and b) every single watch Rolex makes meets that standard.

Yeah, thats the one. I'm interested to see what they say about it. It's not been particularly abused. It does get daily wear though

Drinking mate ? Hermosooo

another one for the thread, on an after market flat link as find the original a bit chunky and shiny ..

Happy Birthday 🎂 watch looks great

Thank you!

Here’s one that has got me stumped:
What’s an acceptable, daily-wear strap for a vintage 1675-type GMT with a Pepsi insert?

I’ve seen lovely suede, pastel, or light leather ideas for 1601s / Datejusts ; I can get my head round the black-insert GMTs which, to me, work well on two-stitch dark leather… but the things I see on google image for the Pepsi all feel off.

It looks great I'm gutted I can't afford this at the moment

nato strap?

Faint tan lines from watch. Happy weekending

Grey suede, eg https://molequin.com/products/gris-clair-suede or https://molequin.com/products/slate-grey-suede would be my suggestion. Or I also really like https://www.twostitchstraps.com/collections/all-products/products/two-stitch-coal-leather-watch-strap with almost any watch.

Navy could also work and I think you could also make a case for a dark or olive green depending on the exact shade. But I think it needs to be a fairly casual strap for a Pepsi GMT style of watch.

Happy birthday - Indeed that's a lovely watch!
