What time is it? Watches and horology

I have to admit that whilst it feels like a high end watch the price is a bit rich.

But all these watches go for hilarious amounts of money...

At the end of the day a Steinhart sub and a Rolex sub are pretty much the same watch, we're only paying for the logo on the crown/dial cuz we're suckers...

IMHO a Speedy is a different kettle of fish, still wouldn't pay £2k for one tho'...

I have a real urge to buy a steinhart diver but I really can't decide which one is nicest.

Got my heart set on the Vintage Red when I get some cash

I wouldn't bother guys.

It does not feel like a quality watch.

My Seiko's are more nicely finished than the Steinhart sub I owned.

They have good resale tho.

Tudor sub is nice Joe.

It would have to be snowflake for me tho.

Steinhart pilots are good especially the tittytanium cases. They are lovely.

Received the Seamaster AT. Right little beauty.

Although I'd like a leather strap and deployment clasp for it. Googled original Omega ones and the cost is £500 for both. Fuck that.

What's next best? Hirsch?

Tudor's are substantially steeper in price than the other sub homages though...

I sold a vintage red a while back. Impressive for the money but too much like a mini version of my Armida.

Oh and I sold it on eBay... Got more than I paid for it new

TS what reference is that Tudor? A mini-sub really is mini, 35mm including the crown.

It isn't actually a mini, it's a 75090, so 36mm... It's the smaller full-size... Rolex crown and case back...

What I find weird is that price gap between second hand Tudor sub's and a Rolex sub's doesn't seem to be that big.

But I guess the fact that Tudors sort of disappeared and aren't quite Rolexes, but sort or are, gives them extra kudos.

hipster rolexii, innit.

Joe, I'm genuinely jealous. Thats well nice. Tudor and Seiko FTW.

love this:

hipster rolexii, innit.

only when teamed with a nato strap....

cancels NATO strap order

Tudors are great, well done Joe.

I was in a meeting with a Russian banker today and he had a gold Hublot on... black strap and dial.... I couldn't stop looking at it.... wouldn't have pissed on one if you'd asked me before seeing one in the flesh/

Hublot's are for people who don't really like watches.

titters

Yeah I know, have had to have a word with myself since. browses ebay

Now (easily) my most favourite dive watch (next to the other master compressor)

×the seiko doesn't count as that's just cute hipsterishness
