What time is it? Watches and horology

Question...it has an alarm. How does that work on an automatic watch?

It has a teeny little hammer that strikes a tiny bell - I shit you not.

"The hammer strikes a bell: the bell is represented by a bowl movement that covers the back and which is crimped onto the middle."

Love it! Could wear a little warm and fragrant on the wrist though.....

I was looking at Seiko Bell-Matics for a while, largely for the novelty value of the alarm.

russian alarm watch, affordable

I keep on lusting after a Fifty Fathoms. In particular this 40mm 50th anniversary model. It just seems to smash it as a nice diver on every detail. Just need £12k .

^ lovely, love the banked inner bezel thing (technical term)

I have been ogling stowa watches for a while. This is really nice.

this week i have had watch.tv permanently on my desktop occasionally pressing NEXT video. some of it's a little 'thomas tank' but most of the time i was left shaking my head thinking "wow, that is so beautiful"

in an interview a dealer said that the £300,000.00+ market wasnt affected it was just the up to £30,000.00 aspirational purchasse market that had slowed down a bit.

proper next level stuff. here's a richard mille review - pepare your shockface.

Stumbled across these the other day. Really like them.

I've been looking around for Fifty Fathom homages and came across these Dr Customs.

But one of the issues is they say;

his is an homage and not a true diver - even though there are rubber o-ring on screw down caseback and screw down crown, the watch has only be tested to fifteen fathoms (around 90 feet). I don't recommend for diving or swimming.

Would it be possible to make them waterproof? It wouldn't be going deeper than a pool.

Does anyone know of any nice titanium bracelets? I want one for my Breitling as it currently has a leather one which is a bit shit for cycling because it gets all sweaty and gross, but if I got Breitling's bracelet, its £770.

They're on eBay for a bit less, but ideally I'd not want to spend more then £200.

is there anything wrong with an aftermarket dial in a seiko 5 (snzh57)?

I think by rebranding a seiko you can only improve it. :o)

Having said that, I thought that said 55 Fat Horns.
