What time is it? Watches and horology

"Switzerland is on track to export fewer watches than it has in any year since 1984 as demand for low-end timepieces plunges and the industry increasingly focuses on reselling second hand Rolexes and Patek Philippes."

So stand in Seiko picked up. Feels quite nice. Kipper the kitten approves

Cool dial!

Vintage is hot 8-)

That dial? Is it printed on, or is it relief?

Its not vintage... Its scalpers...

Tudor GMT - yes or no?

Na. very tall watch. Nowhere near as classic as an 'actual' GMT, eiither.

YES! Do it!

Tried one on, didn’t like it.

Bezel is tough, watch is really thick, lugs are too straight, bracelet is riveted and feels cheap. Then there’s the square on the hands.

Pass.

Same shop.

The 'Tona!

Not even that nice. :o$

I would want a Pepsi rather than a Coke dual, otherwise I’d likely put down the cost of the Tudor and finance the rest of that Rolex.

Printed

• take that back....
  
  

never mind...

Assume you mean bezel...

Either way, bezels are easily changed on the 16700 / 16710 models.

I’m sure they are, not sure I can be buggered though. I didn’t buy the Tudor.

Late entry on a new strap. Got it about a month ago but it’s taken me this long to realise the split pins aren’t tiny screws!

Any good watch repairer can swap the bezel insert in 20 mins. Alsals would have no issue...

Festive Friday folks!

Either way, bezels are easily changed on the 16700 / 16710 models.

I think the watch in the window is this one, note the rather significant disparity in price between web and window!

Coming round to the idea of changing the bezel, to an extent.

Freitag.

Keeps coming up in my insta feed. Looks good.

Assuming box and papers, that’s good value right now.
