What time is it? Watches and horology

Probably a few Seikos that fit the bill.

Does anyone want a watch travel case? I got it free when I bought my BB58 and I have zero use for it.

They are so comfortable! Do you have a link to the fake ones? Buying them for £50 a pop is prohibitive.

@cgg @mattyc @t-v @Regal @Stonehedge - thanks for all the suggestions, lots to look at, will keep me busy (usefully procrastinating) this evening.

This is the listing, ordered on May 15th so just under 2 weeks to arrive.

Got the titanium bezel and bracelet through today. Super light and comfy got here much quicker than anticipated too.

Also means I have these going spare. MFG sent the clear one with the ti one as a freebie. So that one and the middle one fit the 5610. The one on the right is for the 5600.

All available for a forum donation. I’m SE London If anyone wants to swing by sometime.

A Max Bill (or Form C or one the cheaper ones). There seem to be good deals on the quartz pretty often if you hunt around.

Not-gardening earlier.

Yeah was wondering about those. Possibly a bit too modern for him but will have a look.

Looks like day/date is only on the chrono so spendy. Bloody love the standard date only but he’s got to have day/date. Don’t we all right now!

Let’s see some speedys

Great idea! The Form C in particular are lovely for the money.

Hmmm

My first impression, is that I really like that!

Its 13mm thick, reckon that would be a problem?

I like it. Not sure if the thickness would be an issue. I know nothing about that brand though.

Form C doesn’t come in day/date by the looks of things. I certainly want one now though.

Anyone fancy this Baby-G? It’s the ‘sand’ off-white colour. I’ve worn it maybe a dozen times in the past year. Just scrubbed it down to remove the storage dust and marks, but there was never any wrist cheese. Not new but not far off. Complete box and paperwork but can’t find original receipt.

Fits like the old classic G-Shocks, rather than the new baller ones.

Can’t see it online for less than £80 new and in stock, as all the websites with it cheap are actually totally out of stock.

£40 posted paypal gift. I’ll chuck in a bunch of my sticker/decal bits too.

Also thinking of moving on the two Omegas.

Black dial with bronze numbers is a 30T or 30T2 manual wind, serviced with a new Omega mainspring a year ago by John Steward in Swindon. Can’t find the receipts.

Seamaster is automatic 5xx series calibre, can’t remember for sure and it’s a monocoque case so I can’t get in to photograph it. It was also serviced by John Steward. He had written the numbers down for me but like the receipt, it’s lost somewhere under a pile of papers.

I’ll have to go through this thread to try find my old posts that I listed more info. But more of a feelers out post. Sunday’s last day to list things on ebay for a £1 max seller fee, but I would prefer to sell on the forum.

Put them on Chronovault before you sell them?

I’m in the park this afternoon, first time wearing a watch for what feels like months.

I should put them on CV, yea. Problem is that it’s a little pointless without all the important numbers, which I don’t have without the slips of paper I managed to lose.

Hi. I'm looking at this. I'm in Gloucester, seller is in Gloucester. But I'm a watch novice. Can anyone advise? Is this a reasonable price? Thanks.

Seems fair if it’s in good condition overall. I sold mine for £625 IIRC but it had the expensive OEM bracelet (that one pictured is 3rd party/aftermarket and looks a lot cheaper), has box & papers and was pretty mint, eg it didn’t have a scratch in the bezel insert like that one.

Classy watch.
