What time is it? Watches and horology

IWC do a Pilot 'Spitfire' range, check them out aswell as the 'Classic' Pilots range. Some of the 'Aquatimers' are worth checking too

Perfect. Do they come in green?

It was made in honour of the Jewish kid in The Simpsons

Tag Heuer Targa Florio
Have one of these without the Fangio signature, unfortunately it died on me last week but it should still be under warranty... I hope :(

Got it for my 18th from a family friend two years ago, love it :)

That is rather nice isn't it

Nice!

Also have one of these which was my Grandad's, 50's Omega Constellation w/ textured face, needs a resto though

Nice!

Cheers ;)

One day I'll own one of these.

Till then I've got a Skagen that does the job.

IWC's are a bit... i dunno. bland and half-way there. they're like a trip to ibiza with your parents.

My favourite bland IWC - Da Vinci

Hey did we meet at East drinks after the Tweed ride? I'm sure you showed me this. I think you clocked (geddit) my 1930s Mappin. Will post a pic soon. Not having owned a mechanical watch before any tips on winding? Not sure when/how much really.

Maybe! I vaguely remember that, but vaguely only due to... couple of beers, hum..., I mean, I was tired after the tweed run... Post a pics of your watch, that will refresh my memory!

Loic

The 50th Anniversary Rolex Kermit Submariner is appreciating.

That's later than 68.
A 68 should have a 321 calibre, applied omega logo and the tritium should extend over the sub-second markers.

I have a plain Rolex with no date bubble and steel strap given to me for my 18th birthday. Have worn it pretty much constantly for 22 years. Couldnt really imagine life without it.

I did have a Omega Seamaster given to me by my grandfather - unfortunately it had a yachting accident and now resides at the bottom of the Solent.

Burn him!

want…

That's the only Tag heuer I want. If I can find a decent early reissue (without Tag on the dial) for a good price I will buy it.

When the 40th anniversary Monaco is launched I bloody want one.
