What time is it? Watches and horology

I really want the u50. Not only 40mm, but 11 mm thin, perfect. Perversely, I wish it had an eco drive movement.

Don't worry CB, you can still get the U1

Lol!! Maybe one day... Can't wait to go diving to 500m!

This watch is such a wearable beater. I think it was £35 off Amazon whenever I got it 5+ years ago.

If anyone finds a cartier drive for €3500 or less let me know :)

Not the same and I don’t know if the group is closed, but here’s an auction for a roadster: https://m.facebook.com/groups/345672865557570?view=permalink&id=2180573115400860&anchor_composer=false

Group is private. But dont really like the roadster anw..

A lot of love for the SNK. That khaki one looks great for summer

I’ve had mine for 10 years now and is the go to holiday watch

Enjoyed this article...

wow, some expensive things are ugly shocker

You could also say that all mechanical watches are pointless because Quartz is superior. But we don’t really care about that, do we?

The same could be said about Vice

I think we can enjoy watches and that article, no need for any hurt feelings!
Working out how many hours I’d have to work to pay for it did recently stop me buying a black bay though - quite an effective anti-consumerist exercise.

I quite want the Hublot Meca-10 'Nicky Jam' Ceramic 'X' Setting

Would look excellent teamed with dreadlocks and a Billabong t-shirt.

This one is worse better!

I'm not a big fan of the L&S dials/designs but the back always looks breathtaking. And this is no different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSYgbL9xByc

Functional watches are best

IMHO their dials are the best in the biz.

I mean... what would you expect at this price point? :-)

Nearly missed a meeting today. My Seiko samurai was 90 minutes slow! What the? A) I should stop using my watch as a time indicator and start looking at the phone more. Or B) actually just keep my G-Shock on....

How the hell did it managed 90 minutes slow??

Magnets. But how do they...

It's actually stupidly simple. I didn't notice it had stopped when i put it on and just assumed the time was right. Or magnets...
