What time is it? Watches and horology

No keyboard but I'm having a Sharkmaster love-in day even though I still want to sell it.

Jel.

Keep it and sell me the Max Bill in a few months time :)

Good choice of knitwear.

Blue compliments orange perfectly.

I'm getting tones of Team Zissou.

Are you wearing a red beanie?

Are Russian watches any good?

No but I am listening to French electro-pop.

Good keyboard.

Well spotted!

Are Russian watches any good?

No.

Is that compared to rolexes? What is the issue with them?

no money atm, just curious.

^ I see what you did there...

Firstly, I did the keyboard thing before it was cool:

^ January last year!!

Secondly, today:

Great story Rodabod. I need to up my eBay hunting game. Looking forward to seeing more pictures once it's done.

Nice to see another Christopher Ward on here. I quite fancy getting another one but they've stepped the prices up a decent amount since I got mine.

I thought it was bad enough being a bike geek, but here I am posting another. It's a '68 Smiths W10. Arrived running +4 mins / day, but I've regulated it to a few seconds now. May get it cleaned as i'm not convinced it was serviced that recently. Anyway:

These are currently cheap at around £300, and might be my tip for a good investment. That and the Omega 6B/542 if you can afford one.

Yeah they've gone pretty nuts. I'm glad to see 'em doing well but fuck me, bit galling to have to pay practically double what it was a few years back.

I was jealous before...now...

Tried this on last week. It's on the list to buy once I've settled down in my new job...

I do like the black but I'm glad I went with the white face in the end. Prepare for looking forward to the 4th of each month!

^^ I love that, nicely dressy. Question though, is the glass mineral crystal or that perspexy stuff? Hard to tell from the website.

And 'Hedge - what's with the 4th?

Cannot get used to seeing watches worn on the right / wrong wrist!

One of the best ebay listings I've seen recently:

England Watch in a tin

He seems to have scanned the watch rather than taking a picture. Genius.

Pure font porn.

just because, need to upgrade to fit into this thread nowadays
