What time is it? Watches and horology

Timekeeping pretty spot on. It was gaining a bit but got it services and now it's fine.

I'm just a bit annoyed they totally changed the design so they could give it a bracelet rather than designing a bracelet to fit the existing one. I'd really like a bracelet for it.

One of the Max bills i wear the least (27.3500 611) is losing time but
I've owned for maybe 6 years and maybe worn in for a month maximum total in that time

Get it serviced or sell to a hobbyist who wants to tinker? ETA 2824 service is £150+

got this as i found it in a pretty good price. dont know if i'm keeping it. probably not, but looks pretty good

@inchpincher - I have escaped the hole. KS Chronometer Hi-Beat 5626-7041 on its way.

Tried one of those on the other day. I was a little underwhelmed given its full retail price. Thought it sat very high even for a chrono. Dial is sweet though.

How much time are we talking?

true, same size (42mm) like the Zenith but wears much different. my cousin like it though and he may buy it from me or it will be posted for sale soon

Late Friday 'key board' shot ...

I now know your reddit username... :-D

I have nothing to hide on that account ;-)

Ha.

Also, I was tempted by the KS hi-beat as well but the Grand Quartz listed today is on its way to me instead.

Nearly bought the Vanac yesterday but the crystal was too far gone.

Lovely dial and bracelet. The vanac was insane. I’d never seen one before. Those crystals are mental.

I'd seen a few Vanac before but that's the nicest I've seen.

Probably should have just pulled the trigger

This arrived on Wednesday no 68.

oh, man. I'm so much into this watch. Wish I could tinker with it!

Turtle and chilli tonight.

What do you think? I have number 76 (potentially) waiting for me when I get back home.

I’ve not got much to compare it too.
I like it, I wanted something with an explorer dial that I can wear.
It’s maybe a bit flashy but I’m getting used to it.
Edit the hands and markers are more gold than the photo suggests.

That's nice! I was under the impression that these were limited edition and hard to find so I'm surprised you found it and got a deal on it.

I’m doubtful that would require servicing at that age. It’s more likely to just need regulating which is a ten minute job to do. For some reason, hairsprings exhibit an effect where there elasticity varies from new which can cause the rate to vary as they bed-in.

Dropped you a pm with the people I use in Cross Gates

Right Hive.

I need to start thinking about getting the wife a nice dress watch for her big birthday. (21 again) etc.

I noticed some lovely vintage Omega in here recently that are not too spenny.

Where should I be looking or do you have any suggestions?

Ta. 😎

Maybe Cartier if you can stretch to it. What sort of budget? Quartz or mechanical? New or vintage?

Cost thread joke

Yesterday I spent six hours finishing a belt made out of watches. A complete waist of time
