What time is it? Watches and horology

@hobo well done

@bluequinn i agree hell of a dad, but then again you only get one so you should spoil them however and as often as you can.

@maddernj get some bigger cuffs :-)

Or these http://www.thewatchcuff.com/

Though I would feel like a prize twat......

that's quite funny

vile. and the website... wow, it's 2004 all over again.

you would be chased out of turnbull & asser if you said you wanted that ..................... i hope.

then again the customer is always right and it might be a case of,

"six you say, why certainly sir"

while we're on the subject of turnbull & asser and cuffs, can i just mention the cocktail cuff?

i'm ever-so-slightly obsessing over it now. t&a calls it the "two button turnback cuff" and it's only available on bespoke... minimum order of 3. worn by this fellow though:

The wife bought me one of those shirts when I arrived arrived in the UK in 2002.

Always felt like a knob when wearing it.

19.99 including postage from singapore. We'll see what it's like upon arrival.
Are there any give aways I should look for to confirm it's authenticity?

that right there is (what do you buy the man that has everything) beautiful.

mrs zone i salute you......................... again.

Got my eye on these two beauties. Decisions, decisions....

i think the explorer.

I'm still debating on an Explorer 1

Hmmmmmm......

^ Explorer 1 much nicer imo.

The thing with the Explorer 1 is that it's too much like an Oyster Perpetual Datejust which I had a while back and got rid of cos I got bored of it. Don't want that to happen again

A new designer I'm working with just showed me a few sketches with a slimmer version of the cocktail cuff, should have samples in a few weeks I'm excited to see how it turns out.

He must be a hell of a dad for you to buy him a 321 Speedy!

Yeah, he is pretty awesome as dad's go.

It's now being serviced and cleaned and shall be presented to him shortly.

I recently got given this as a wedding present from my father in law, could not believe it really... WW2 Omega British Military..

Wicked! They're worth about £1.2k - £2k depending on condition

Price does not a good watch make.

that Omega, however, does make a good watch.

I'm thinking more 'sell on value'

I'm also feelin this

I'm also feelin this

Beautiful. A total classic, literally impossible to go wrong with that one.

IWC and WW2 Omega are proper tasty
