What time is it? Watches and horology

Wolf had 70% off the other day - code EARLYBIRD I think. Not sure if it’s still on.

Who needs a watch winder anyway?

I don't need one, but I think I'd quite like one.

Maybe a watch display stand thingy could be an idea as well?

I've got one that @freddo kindly gave me for free with a watch purchase that i don't use and would happily give you for the postage price. I'm in York so it's unlikely you could collect. Pm me if interested.

Over budget, but you might need storage for 12 watches soon enough

I have a £25 watch winder that I picked up from Amazon. It winds fine but it looks like it's a £25 watch winder.

NATO from blushark .
They seem good to me , they always have a buy 3 get 2 free with free international postage .
It’s easy to get a few mates together buy five and split it .
Decent hardware too

My SARB033 has lost 15 mins over the past week or so. That’s quite a drift from being within a few seconds a day when I got it in 2018.

Does that sound like something that can be adjusted easily?

Magnetised?

Yeah, possible. Is that bad?

I’ve never had that problem, but I don’t think it’s serious. There are some cheap devices online that can demagnetise the watch.
I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon :-)

@Stonehedge to the rescue.

Any recommendations for a made in Europe/UK watch roll case?

Similar to:

Being indecisive as always. New watch arrival this morning! Always been a fan of the Aqua Terra and thought this was a little different. It was ex-display from my local AD, great price, but does have a small dent in the side / lug. Always brought new and its kind of bugging me as I didn't put it there but then it was way cheaper than a new one so I guess thats why. Be interested to see how much the bracelet costs to add on.

But that is 62mas heritage yo...

Not really, the 62MAS never had a bracelet… it was a skin diver style case, always came with a rubber strap. I don't think it was until the SLA017 and SPB051 in 2017 that Seiko tried to put a bracelet on that case shape. It doesn't really work. Same goes for the 44GS case IMHO.

You get used to it

For a moment i thought you were asking for a recommendation on which one of the watches to choose.

I was like... fuck me baller!

Very pretty

LOL

Its a great watch!

Speaking o which, hows your railmaster @Dammit ?

I really like yours.

It's good, I've been wearing it the last few days and it's a funny watch - in some lights it's extremely handsome, in others the colour of the lume does strike me as just slightly jarring.

I can't help but contrast it with my Seamaster and the Speedmaster, both of which I like everything about, all the time. But it's still a very nice watch.

pic or it didnt happen...

I think magnetised watches generally* run fast so probably not that.

*in my very limited experience and reading.

@D-Dog classy, I wouldn’t see the ding once I’d added a few of my own.
