What time is it? Watches and horology

Put them side by side in a photo

Nah, can't be bothered to get them out again.

But can confirm that an Alkin Model 1 on original strap weightrs 93g, which is about 25g lighter than a Seiko SKX007 on rubber strap. They're roughly the same size too actually. Would people say the 007 is a heavy and large watch?

I find it fascinating how much perception of the size of a watch is defined by a lot more than just width or lug to lug. I think part of it is how angular the Alkin looks compared to a lot of other watches.

What else you got to do?

I really like that (apart from the new 5 logo which I don't like). What model is it?

Not sure what to ask for it. That's why I was going to put it on ebay. PM me an offer?

I think its an SRPE61K.

Good spot, the SRPE61K is the black version.

Cheers. I'd forgotten that the new 5 series was a little bit pricier. I think it's just a bit out of the impulse buy range now.

I'll let myself out.

Seiko already going HAM on the 5 Sports variants by the way.

Check the bezel numerals on the gold ones!

I really like the grey one!

Raised grey stainless steel bezel is cool

FONT POLICE! How are they still in business.

2002 is on the line he wants his font back

The gold one is the GTA: San Andreas special edition yeah?

Lockdown really has ruined me. I think...I think I quite like it! Its so fucking awful!

I didn't even post the pink one yet. To be honest I feel slightly intimidated by its sheer power.

Buy it then, buyers remose is the only way you will get over this.

I’m with you again here man.

No, I'm with you here - with its baller swagger it's pushed through awful and leveled up.

I'd wear both the yellow and rosé gold (coloured) Seiko 5 Sports.

Michael Kors be shitting it right now.

As would I. Not even guiltily.
