What time is it? Watches and horology

Spotted in a jewellers window yesterday, don’t see one of those every day.

Any ideas about bull bars/wire guard for a shitty G Shock G-2900?

Only ones at a glance online are for worthier more expensive models.

Also, any guesses what Ed Harris wore in China Moon?

Keaton’s in the awful American Assassin is way easier to ID

@hugo7 and anyone else who expressed an interest, there's a Speedbird GMT up on ebay at the moment https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332713812647?ul_noapp=true

Nothing to do with me, I just haven't removed the notification from Ebay (although selfishly I'm happy to see that with six days to go the bids are already higher than what I paid).

Afternoon all. Doing a bit of a spring clean and I think I'm going to flog the Speedy that @panic was kind enough to flog me. It's brilliant and I love it but I need a new hallway. After what I paid, which was £2400. It's boxed and papered but doesn't have the black nato they usually come with - all other case candy intact, including a spare sapphire back. Let me know kiddos.

I would definitely wear that Seiko.

My childhood dream was always to be an airline pilot, so I was obsessed with Breitlings, but they definitely took a wrong turn somewhere down the line.

Anyone wanna lend me 2.4k? :-)

oh no. i would gladly take it back if i had the funds.

Model numbers SSC013P1 & SNA411, I think they cost me around £125-150 each, so pretty affordable!

i got fucken suncream all over my rallye strap.

any suggestions for a new strap for a speedy? have a bracelet and a murtz already.

Soak the whole thing and make it consistent?

i like your thinking

Before and after pics please.

Beware the time for all the grease to come off. Less is still too much. Work in layers, thin layers rubbed in as much as possible and left to dry a bit before extra layers.

nah - it has white stitching. new strap time, i think

Let me see a pic of it. I’d still totally use it unless it’s awful

It doesn’t say in @panic original post the manufacturing date, I know it’s the current model and I might be swayed away from a vintage purchase if this is near my lads birth date.

I’m gonna get one of these when I finally pull the trigger although the colour might lend itself more towards yellow/green aged lume.

Friend has one of these on his oyster dweller - looks absolutely mint. Subtle but would be a good shout.

i have a 21/18 brown shell cordovan if you are interested. got it for my zenith but actually prefer the stock blue one.
you can also take a look at nomos store. they have some nice straps that would work with the speedy.

Quite hard to photograph. Chucked it on a black obsessi nato as the metal bracelet was too small.

Cheers @spunk_nautical

Original advert? @panic natos available to purchase separately?

Was just in this thread. https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/143800/?offset=27375#comment14226306

I'll have a look when I get home - not sure if I saw anything with the manufacturing date on it in the case candy but I can check the serial. Will keep you posted.
