What time is it? Watches and horology

Ta. Found it....

I was staring at it for ages but didn't realise it was configurable.

I may be interested in the Black Pebble (not entirely sure why, just like the idea). Any info on condition, price, etc. Cheers

Opinions on this Aqua Terra??

It's looking like my next purchase - not looking for approval from anyone, just wondered what people thought of it

Nice. Very nice.

Date not working correctly.

But otherwise, very nice. You could also wear it on a leather strap too, which shows off the lugs.

Date not working correctly.

In what way?

The AT is very nice, but as much as I like the blue dial, for me, the only options would be the black or grey. The black/grey dialled version has a date window with a font and colour that matches the font of the dial. The blue version has a black date window with a different font altogether and once you've seen it, you (or, I at least) can't stop seeing it and thinking it looks like they couldn't be bothered to make a proper date ring for the watch and grabbed something from the parts bin.

Hi Aggi,

It's the Jet Black version. Condition is spot-on, only worn a few times, no scratches or band stretch.

Price? Hmm, equivalent £90 new from Pebble (plus import tax if you're unlucky), £65?

Until the poorly serviced movement died.....

Only downsides were that I found it quite hard to read sometimes due to reflections, and the winder tended to bite into the back of my hand (I wear watches pretty loose).

That's about what I was thinking. I assume it has charger, etc

Why is the fucking Pebble in this thread...

Its an abomination

Totally.

Bad joke - I was suggesting that it wasn't set to today's date.

Yes, all present and correct.

And as for you haters!

I love my high end timepieces, but a pebble is an iPod in the steam age. Unobtrusive but really functional - especially on the bike. Phone rings? Look at your wrist to see if you need to haul up and dig out your phone or ignore the call. Text? Read it on your wrist. Email? Same. Using your phone to play music through a dock? Control it with your watch from.the other side of the room. Selfie? There's the remote for your camera (and you can even see what the lens sees, ON YOUR FUCKING WATCH!)

Plus I use a Panerai face so I don't get homesick for the PAM :-)

Wouldn't wear it to a dinner party or a job interview, but as a swiss army knife they are awesome.

Why is the fucking Pebble in this thread...

Because it's a watch and this is the thread for watches.

I said, when I posted mine, that I thought it would divide opinions but i was pretty sure everyone would agree on that.

It's better than a fucking G-shock anyway >>>>>>>>

Would you be happier if it had a brand logo on it?

What's the view on the Seven Friday things Watchfinder are retailing? Don't get it myself. http://news.watchfinder.co.uk/_act/link.php?mId=C927282417683189975035526394212&tId=131795734&subjId=155519

Double denim, strong look!

Double denim, strong look!

To be clear. That is not me nor is it my watch.

Smartwatches are the future. Can't wait.

Oh fuck off with the snobery

ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz

To be clear. That is not me nor is it my watch.

Shame, strong look nonetheless.

Shakey's got a pebble?

Sod the double denim, that guy has AWESOME socks. Want.
