What time is it? Watches and horology

Yep, import charges and all...

Edit - too slow

Talk to me…

Better for someone to buy out there and bring back?

I would say it's approximately 20% better.

Ok, now I have my glasses on I can see the little sockets for the bar (this photo may not work)

I think I’ll ask for a link back in, the bracelet moved to the shortest option, and use the cocktail link thing to adjust it in for UK temps.

Wait so Rolex's don't have micro adjust? Trash.

the easy-link gives an extra half link - I'd suggest you fit the bracelet with the link snapped in, as then you can ease it off when needed (better to be able to ease off quickly than to tighten). It looks like you've opened up the Easylink in that photo - you kind of fold the strap over and push down till you hear a click to close it.

@Sumo This one has three positions (that I can now see, thanks middle age) on one side, plus a fixed length extension (which I have heard referred to as the cocktail link, presumably for extra golf club points).

EDIT: it’s the easy link.

My Submariner has a very nice micro-adjust mechanism, but that an apparently not for spelunking.

Ok 3 positions sounds fine. I'll put the polar 166570 back on my list.

Hmmm ok I’d rather not pay an extra 20%!

I don't know but I'm willing to try! Steinhart sell replacements, so I was planning on just buying those but if you think these Seiko ones are better then I'm keen.

Easy link clicked into place, bracelet moved a notch inwards and a link put back in and it’s perfect

💪

Now go put it on a rubber strap :)

The Seiko ones are very fat, not sure if a NATO would fit..

Yeah, I had thought about these 2..

1. Seiko SNXJ89 - but the dial is a bit white and sterile for my liking.. - around £250
   
2. Seiko Mod on Esty - bezel just looks too clunky.. - £335

There must be millions of Ricoh's and citizens from the 70s and 80s in a date just style. Just spend an hour on ebay they appear all the time for me.

the 007 i quite like. The ultra deep is preposterous... Colours are wonderful though. Whats your feelings?

Ultra Deep LoL

Might as well call it balls in.

Too big even for CB

did lol

I really like it . And it’s not overly huge. Even on my tiny wrists.
The James Bond one is a thing of beauty.
