What time is it? Watches and horology

we have mentioned 3? seiko too
:p

And IWC

oh and i mentioned that i thought cartiers were a bit crap. see? we've been all over.

time to post my watches I think
the first on is a Marathon Watch with Tritium gas-tube, the second a Casio than my brother bought in the 80s and that later on he give me. Last month I went to change the battery and setting up the year realise that the internal calendar start in 1980 and run until 2019 only, I dont know but I'm going to do after.
As you can see I like the black face with white hands, metal case and black straps

I got a gold-plated Casio from H Samuel for xmas a ferw years ago. Do you think they're worth anything now?

Personally i think Rolex and Breitling are lottery winners watches - gaudy shows of wealth that are not the best product for the job they are designed to do.

Omega always FTW - I am biased but my original Seamaster i posted earlier in the thread, is the most perfect execution of a gents watch there ever has been or will be.

I'd get an Omega, probably the best of the second-string class of swiss watchs.

Buxx knows whats what

Looking at getting a watch on ebay from India/singapore, are these genuine or snides?

They are a lot cheaper than european prices.

what do you think?

As I thought.

if it's too good to be true.... maybe itsn't

no, they could very well be genuine 'grey market' watches.

wow lush. good luck!

I won it after a bit of hassle, collecting on Saturday.

Define Grey market?
Copies under licence or fakes.

for sure they have to be "yellow market"

Grey market watches would be real, just sold outside of official distribution channels

Not that I know if any of those watches are real or not, but Singapore is heavily taxed so that's where grey market items are likely to come from.

Thanks
