What time is it? Watches and horology

^^ There are no words for that Patek.

I'm quite keen on Lot 6 :)

With the Dagaz, you have many different options of dial and hands.

You're right. Sorry, only glanced at page to remind myself what the case looked like.

:)

The Classic C1, is pretty good Homage.

I personally prefer the SAT model.

Lot 114 is also unspeakably hideous. Lots 72 and 76 I like though.

This forum has moved on a bit from cooing over colour-coordinated gas pipe fixie conversions!

I love Lot 19. Its the fanciest cock ring I have ever seen.

Oh wow. I had skipped over that thinking it was just a bracelet. Hadn't realised the watch is in the snakes mouth. It's like a Bond lady villain watch.

Some of the diamond-encrusted Patek stuff towards the end baffles me because you can't see the damned hands to actually tell the time.

A quick question for the hive mind- I want to change the hands on my watch- can't see them in poor light. Where's a good place to go to get this done? Or is it something that can be done at home with basic tools?

What is that?

Gah! Now I'm lusting over this watch again...

This just sold for 7.3m CHF.
Don't really know what to think about that.

Leaves me totally cold, looks like someone tried to design a watch for Harry Potter.

Yeah... It's not my cup of tea. Hype ting init.

I'm going to be on the main Tudor stand (ground floor, on the left wall) on Tuesday 4-10 and Friday probably all day so come say hi! And that goes for anyone else that will be there :D

What type of watch?

Work commitments means I can only do the weekend sadly :-(

You'd need to have a look at what's available with the correct hole sizes. A watchmaker could do that for you by checking the movement specs and looking up a catalogue like Cousins website. But you'd possibly be better doing the groundwork yourself. Also need to accurately measure the hand lengths.

Cheers! Any recommendations for good watchmakers?

In London, Alsal. You could look at the Cousins website and browse the hands available.

Going through cousins now. Will get a good idea then go pay a visit.
