What time is it? Watches and horology

Its easy. Its just coming up to 130 o'clock.

The slide rule bezel actually comes in surprisingly handy, fuel/oil conversions less so I must admit...

Also, any of you folk happen to have a spring bar tool I could borrow?

Isn't that just a pointy knife?

You sound more like Murtle with every passing day...

I have one in SE13... but a sharp knife should work.

I did just spend the last half hour with a thumb tack, a nail and a hammer removing the necessary links from the bracelet as my watch has yet to show up.

...buddy.

So my Tudor managed to lose over an hour between midday and 3.30pm today, strange as it's been fine up until now...

More annoying is the fact that a couple of the items that were supposed to come with the watch didn't show up (spare bracelet links, swing tag and Tudor anchor) and the seller now says he didn't have them in the first place/it was a mistake on his part...

He's offered a full refund, was happy to let the other bits go but now it's starting to go a bit wonky I may take him up on it...

Bah!

That sucks.

Probably for the best anyway. Gives you the chance to buy a Roli sub.

I don't like Rolexes, always liked Tudors much more...

Are you gonna send Chainbreaker round there?

And what? Hug him until he hands over the merchandise?

Hug the funk out of him.

sorry to hear that TS. hope you find another one that is better suited soon.

ts - I heard back from my man, btw - no dice, but he will keep his eyes peeled. i'll fwd you his email...

original watch keyboard shot failed.
Here we go

I've seen these advertised on telly, obviously shite at £10 a pop, but is the first one worth a go at £4 ?

Rubbish...

Not worth buying anything < £1500 for watches, right ... ?

Sorry ;)

Unless you want them to actually keep time.

Speaking of which, my Lolex is losing twenty minutes a day.

Booooo!

Neil at Chronomaster reckons it probably wasn't fully wound up, sounds like BS to me but what do I know? I'm not gonna take a chance so sending it back tomorrow...

Gutted as I'm really fond of it...

Can you send it back, and get him to check it?
I think its the best option though, you wouldn't want to be constantly worrying about if its actually okay. GL with finding one though, looked lovely

He says it was serviced last month before he put it up for sale... Hmmm...
