What time is it? Watches and horology

I’m a big fan of that little dash of red by the date window, such a great touch. The new watch looks great as well, congrats!

Cheers! Took years for me to get brave/reckless enough to go for it but am properly smitten by it at the mo.

Long-time listener, first time caller here. Just pulled the trigger on a silver full metal g-shock:

Should be a fairly comical sight on my rather slim wrist!

Lordy @hacha that’s a beaut!
As is @TGR’s steampunk offering in a different way. Not sure it’ll slip under a cuff. Enjoyed the Beaton reference @Regal.

Can someone please shed some light on the @ChainBreaker niche tweed pics. I’m having difficulty focusing on anything else at the moment.

Is interesting.

On the cool step you have AP.

On the naughty step you have Hublot.

They do look almost the same.

I agree.

Those watches are too loud. I'm not a big AP fan either, the only one I kind of like is the slim, smaller Royal Oak. Actually, I think it's the one in the picture above.

Isn’t it in the EU currently?

Stealth! 🥷
Is this becoming the forum watch?

👍

Nonononono

You could have bought mine and saved some money! Anyone else who wants one, PM me. :)

Picked up one of those cheap Barton straps from Amazon.

Did you go for the standard or Elite?

Aghh, oh well. I got it a decent price anyway, and no guarantee I'll actually keep it. I bought it blind so might find it too heavy/bulky, we'll see.

On cheap(ish) Royal Oak alternatives, I still have a hankering for one of these

No worries, I need to re-up my watches for sale!

I think it’s a great watch, looks cool and it wears well. I just found it sometimes exceeds my personal bling limit! I always end up wearing one of my plastic G-shocks instead.

I almost got the gold one!

I wish I could pull that off.

Probably! Love how thin it is (for a low price Seiko automatic).

Somewhere on the forum... 😂

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/talking-watches-with-jean-claude-biver talks a little bit about Hublot vs AP

I've seen that, seems like a great guy. And his collection makes me nauseous.

He even forget they were going and those are some he had laying around!!

Keep meaning to look out for the ‘classic’ square g-shock if it comes for sale cheap. Sold that baby-G because I didn’t wear it. In fact, since selling the Omegas, Baby-G etc, barely worn a watch in a year now.

Hold my beer
