What time is it? Watches and horology

10 out of 10, would bang. Is anyone willing to loan me 100k?

Nope. The Second hand can fuck right off.

Lightning bolts, really?

Seen this in the flesh and it looks better than you'd think

Not sure about the hand, but the chapter ring is a really cool contrast.

Can't help but think carbon and a flash is a bit more casio.

got one of these for sale in store........

C'est combien?

Oh man... There's something about that.

Pm me a price?

The Second hand can fuck right off.

This, and no amount of linking to the wikipedia article can change it!

Curio variant tho.

What gives?

Good thing it's not called a Milsub.

I really like that milguas. When is that from/why £100k?

I think the versions you get now are minging with the orange and green.

If they made them closer to that red and black one I'd be saving up. My general problem with Rolex apart from their ubiquity is the mercedes hands I think they're awful.

It's an OG from 1956. Surely the best Milgauss Rolex ever made.

If you get stuck, I can oil the balance jewels and lower jewels for free which may or may not give it a lease of life. The crown/stem will usually become loose when the bolt screw is loose, which is quite common; nothing to worry about. I'm over in Leytonstone, near the tube.

Miraculously, it started working again on Saturday morning! Really good of you, thank you, can I give you a shout next time I'm round that neck of the woods?

Agree about the hands.

This.

This sold for £19k plus fees in the end.

Yeah, sure. I've a lot of stuff waiting to be repaired for people at the moment, but I can at the very least tell you how it looks and show you where to tighten the bolt screw. Most old watches have a weak action due to thickened up old oil.

That'd be brilliant, thanks!

Wonder why they took the timing bezel off?

Would be good to know how long you have before being magnetised.

Nautilus is pure bling bling. I would though, if I was a billionaire. Here's a great article comparing it with the AP Royal Oak.

Looks lovely.

A mate of mine picked up an outgoing Heritage Black Bay (as there's new movement) for £1,480 and he's trying to work out if it was a good deal or not. I said might have been worth finding out in advance. Any thoughts?

ask @ejay - he's trying to shift the exact one...
