What time is it? Watches and horology

Mmmmm

I am disappoint

This is going to be a thing is it?

I decided against it for the time being.
Spending the money in a big folder to keep posters in instead.

Also potentially have a small inheritance coming soon and may buy a real one. (I'll give you a knock if i do)

Junghans crystals have a coating on them so you can't polish them. I scuffed mine, a replacement was £50 from Alsal. I then dropped it a week later and cracked it, they replaced it for £30 that time because I think they felt sorry for me.

I think these are my favorite bezels.

No joy, but it was worth a try!

Great! where you happy with the result? did they use an official part?

Yep it's as new. Proper Junghans crystal, I think there was a cheaper alternative but o wanted it as new.

Alsal are an approved Junghans service centre and use original parts. They've fully serviced a couple of my Junghans and conducted a few repairs and their work has been perfect every time.

As @umop3pisdn says, polywatch and other polishing compounds don't work on the Junghans acrylic as it has a really tough chemical hardening treatment.

Just musing about my decision to have a sapphire crystal fitted to my rose gold Meister Chrono. I think I regret it. The stock acrylic looks a fair bit nicer from an angle .

All this shit with the world economy had better mean I can buy a Rolex GMT at RRP in a few months

I’m fucking kidding, obvs

haha i honestly posted the same a few days ago... (but for a explorer)

They’ll probably double in price.

New monetary system to be based on toilet roll and GMT barter

sssshhhh don't give them ideas. hahah

I still reckon it's a ludicrous premium for a strap with an Omega logo, but that's very nice indeed...

Thanks, it is nice. Strap was £130, buckle £200.

In related news, what's a cheap but not shit winder for four watches?

Looks great @Dammit

a really tough chemical hardening treatment

Not that tough by the sound of it.

Honestly my favourite.

Are you sure you want a winder? Given the Speedmaster is manual and the Sub and the Railmaster don’t have a date, is it worth it?

Looks awesome. The Tintin is such a peach, you've shown it well here. Should be a decent appreciation trajectory on these? If we're still here that is.

Thanks- it’s a really handsome watch so it’s easy to take nice photographs of it.

They are coming up in value, but I’ve worn mine a lot, it has marks on it and scratches that I’ve largely polished out of the crystal- I suspect the ones that are worth decent money never left their box.
