What time is it? Watches and horology

What?

Ah something to do with a lifestyle brand that makes shirts for people that aspire to one day own a customised motorcycle.

I like the Presage a lot, and the Astron

We are one of the few stockists in the Uk getting one if anyone wants the Deus Breitling.

Not sure if this thread is the target audience for that particular watch

That’s very true but I was only told about it today and you never know who someone knows.
I think it may already be presold anyway according to the email I missed earlier.

Dirty dozen / military field watches:
A friend is looking for a vintage military watch for a birthday present - does anyone have recommendations for a reputable shop (London based or online) with a decent range? They're not after a specific brand or reference but don't want to end up with a dud, happy to pay a bit of a premium for a warranty etc.

My friend is selling this for £800 posted. Brand new, full set.

Edit: just read that word there “vintage”. Ignore my post :-)

Thanks, I've forwarded it on but they are set on a vintage watch with age to it.

Second hand Hamilton? They’re usually the go-to for field watch, their existing line up (hand wound) already look vintage.

I think hes after a classic dirty dozen

Can't go wrong with a vintage CWC

Ok so having been burned for the samurai teaser with a before but no after , I have the finished pics from the watch modder, not in my hand as yet but I intend to add a recently bought crafter blue specific black rubber and when it’s fitted Ill do a wrist shot

Nice.

So; dome, bezel insert and dial?
No comparison but having my snk modded with dome and dial has made me enjoy and wear it loads more.

having been burned for the samurai teaser

LOL

Looks good.

Dial is original .
Can we see a picture of yours ?
I think the modder I used was very good value .
New gasket and pressure tested too

Ah, I see. It’s a good looking watch.
I think I’ve posted mine than a few times...:

Subtle .. I like it .
Hand change?

does anyone have recommendations for a reputable shop (London based or online) with a decent range?

I think I've seen one of the shops down Burlington Arcade have a decent selection but I'm not 100% sure if I'm right or which one it was. Sorry. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny.

These are really nice - the rrp of £900 is eye watering though- esp compared to the Smiths W10 (timefactors). But it is lovely...

Seiko in my hands now , I’ve put it on the crafter blue samurai specific strap and I really like it .
Fella that modded was really quick , and reasonable if folk want a recommendation they can PM or am I allowed to put his details up .. I have no relationship with the modder

I only just realised how lame their marketing really is... Every add I see there is some motorcycle in the background:/ i wonder who would buy a 4800€ watch that says "benzin" on it

Dug out my old Swatch and stuck a new battery in.

That watch is batshit mental. I kind of like it!
