What time is it? Watches and horology

The easiest and quickest way is to walk into Watchfinder in the Royal Exchange. This is, however, not the cheapest way.

A friend recently purchased a black no date sub from an AD that he waited 3 months for, but at that point he had been on the “list” for a Hulk for a long time so they may have been throwing him a bone.

Probably not the cheapest way as you say, but you can haggle a lot with watchfinder and their part exchange valuing is quite good.

Opened this thread and got reminded to grab a pic at just the right time

Nice!
You floating?

Close! Leaning semi perilously over a Portuguese balcony.

SKX on Murts today.

Has a scratch on the crystal, thinking about replacing it with a domed crystal.

Gotta get that sunray to pop

Managed to polish out a scratch like that on my SKX. At least to the point where it's not so obvious.

Baking a cake with that gaping 6.

Ughhhhhhhhhhf. That 6 tho.

I'd take a photo of a squale but I've decided to not keep either of them.

We got him surrounded. 👌

Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up wearing a silver-dialled Rolex.

Different styled 6. The 4’s on this are great though.

That is fricking lovely.

Very nice. Which model?

Just signed as a free agent 👀

Looks like you turned up a bit early

Bell & Ross' take on the Royal Oak / Nautilus. Pretty decent one in my opinion, might get a fair bit of interest with the madness of wait lists and prices as well. I like what they're doing of late, was never a fan when I first saw them but I think they're working different elements well but with enough scope for their own twist.

Gross

IMO

This is the best homage/fake/rip off I’ve seen.

Thanks. It's a Seiko SARG011 - JDM only I believe. Got it from seiya Japan.

Really enjoying this. The in-between sizing and few other quirks add to the charm for me.

Thanks @inchpincher

I agree, that’s a swing and a miss for me. The actual design in itself isn’t bad per se, it’s just such an opportunistic Nautilus rip off. They really didn’t need to lift the bracelet and hand designs quite so blatantly. Case looks a bit big for the dial too.

Shame to see them do something like this when they were settling into their own brand design language quite nicely.
