What time is it? Watches and horology

Just bought myself a timegrapher, partly as the Dollar exchange rate is good just now, and also because this seller has agreed to put a low customs declaration value.

I suppose I can offer to regulate people's watches if they ever want that. Or if you want a general health check.

Bit of a way off, but I'm in Spain for a wedding at the end of May - I can give it to my parents and they can post it to you, if you like.

Are you flying in via Switzerland?

I'm after the SUTB400 (Sistem51 Black) and it's only available in Swatch stores in Switzerland.

Obviously people are selling them on eBay but they're £100 in Switzerland and another £80 more expensive on eBay. I don't want one that much!

Is that the laser made automatic? Pretty cool.

Yup. They've been promising to bring them to the UK for nearly a year but i'm bored of waiting.

I'm intrigued to know how well they keep their time. I'll be flying into Genva in late June if you haven't got one by then. I just bought a Red Pass as a bit of fun recently. Pretty strong design.

Cheers. I'll probably be in Geneva myself before then but you never know!

The Red Pass is a little bright for me but it is a very well proportioned watch.

Swapped the hands on my SKX007 today - looks surprisingly good imo.

That looks great - I really want to put some plongeur hands on my SKX.

Also, just ordered a new strap for my SKX007. Its from the same place I got the NATO from (which is still fine after being worn every day for three years, even the PVD has barely worn off).
Got the slightly beefier alternative:

Not seen that Colour before . Being launched in Basel I wonder ? Tudor Black Bay is a lovely watch .

Yeah, I think its a new one from Basel. Love the colour.

Broken

You need to be a member of the Rolex forum apparently.

Basel summary: Rolex made a nice dual time moon phase >automatic< Cellini that we all think should just be in a oyster case, don't know what the movement is yet, all bets are it's from the 9000.

Tudor made the ranger look like fisher-price my first wrist watch, with a cammo strap option that a colleague said would be worn by a man that carries a knife, not to go hunting animals but to go into a school and kill children.

Hublot smacked it just ignore the "rasta" world cup watch.

Bell&Ross made a motor bike.

Omega released some horrific ladies constellation watches but made up for it with a straight out the 70's Speedmaster.

Oh yeah and my long lost love the Sea-Dweller is back :D

Also on that note, replacement copies of the technical information for the Deep-Sea case is no longer in circulation from Geneva. Usually means that the watch is at some time in the near future going to be discontinued. I'm going to leave that rumor right there.

That Seiko look nice.

^ And Seiko released a 36000 Grand Seiko.

I once spent 6 months working in an advertising agency in Geneva. It was a very clean, pretty, and dull place.

I remember a couple of suspiciously clean, fashionably scruffy, kids with a dog begging outside of the McDonalds. The dog had a D&G handkerchief tied around its neck.

And very, very lovely it is too. Shame no domed glass though.
