What time is it? Watches and horology

chinos to match the red accents and blue deck-shoes

...on a sailing boat with red white and blue sponsorship

Pastel linen shirts.....unbutton too far....

Looks like a Tommy Hilfiger collab. And not in a good way.

Double popped collars is a step too far

Hmmm I should buy a yacht etc

Chap on 911UK (who is a grubby little facist cunt, coincidentally) has this pair of beauties:

The Seiko dual and handset is so much nicer than the Tudor, hate the snowflake.

Mmm lime green croc strap. Classy

Tommy Hilfiger collab

THATS what i was looking for!!!

Tbf it's one of the nicer Seikos even if it is a homage. 😎

Yeah I think it's possibly the first one that almost overrides the Seikoness of it.

That PS logo does drag it all the way back to H. SAMUEL doe.

Intrinsic qualities > perception of the brand

Having said that, I would rather be associated with an everyman watch, than a discount Rolex that has Lady Gaga, the All Blacks and David Beckham as 'brand ambassadors'.

I like how they've coloured in the A's of America's Cup - it's like they got bored in the design meeting and just started doodling.

Ery man? Na. Fake me up. 😎

Whilst I hate the fact that brand ambassadors are a thing at all, if you're going to have them I do quite like the fact that Tudor's ones perversely seem to make it harder for a Tudor owner to be snobby about their own watch.

I don't think any of them are famed anti-vaxxers (whilst Seiko have a certain Djokovic on board...)

Fair point!

And All Blacks is cool

All Blacks is cool

They are very good at rugby, but they are not cool

They are very good at rugby

Thats what i said, Theyre cool

Ha.

I actually like both Tudor and Seiko (and don't care who their brand ambassadors are), but i still don't see the claimed black bay similarity.

What issue do you have with those people?

None, I'm just poking fun because of the H Samuels reference. Seiko is middle of the road, but Tudor is as well atmo, and their brand ambassadorships don't dispel that view.

My broader point is that I don't really care about brand, I care about the individual watch. Because Seiko make some low end watches, it doesn't detract from their high end watches.

Same.

Well no more than any other diver.

What perplexes me though is given the Seiko's similarity to the OG 62Mas, why has no one yet referenced the Tudor as a Mas ripoff?

Fuck I hate Pintrest.

I think the OG bezel weighting is the difference.
