What time is it? Watches and horology

Thanks @Regal My fav is probably the 105.002, but stupidly didn't buy one when they were just another old Omega...

That’s fucking gorgeous!!
I just had to take a private moment.

105.002

I'm no Speedmaster expert so that was a new one on me - have now educated myself. How big is the 105.003 case? I was assuming it was the same 39mm as the CK2998 et al.

And to balance it out , and to polarise people’s opinion , another piece from our “fire sale”.
Breitling chronomat GMT was £6350 now £3675 .

That's a whopper.

What's the lug to lug?

its 44mm

Showing its battle scars and 50 plus years of use... 105.003 64

Wow! that is great! And 50 years - thats insane! How many services has it had? Whats the background? What was its first scar? Tell us more please.

L2L?!?!?! surely not!

Oh sorry wasn’t paying attention!!
Don’t know and it’s locked back in safe now.

Also this

I think GMT Chronograph is just one function too many (for me)

It is ok for you to like them though.

Thanks @ejay2.0 its been in the stable a long time, and it still has a similar effect on me..

@ChainBreaker I have not been the owner for those 50+ years.. even tho I am an old fucker these days... I bought it from possibly the 2nd owner, who had worn it as his beater watch since the 80's... Since I had it, just been serviced once by Simon Freeze... and it all looked pretty spic and span, considering it probably hadn't been serviced for decades

Given how people are going for smaller watch, I can see why big one are going cheap (relatively speaking).

@Regal as far as I know, 2998-1 to 105.003 are all the same case size. The pushers are a bigger diameter post 2998-62.. There are nuances to certain years/models, but that's a wormhole for you to enjoy :)

iven how people are going for smaller watch

Dont let rolex hear you

@Condorlini so nice. I’d love some more photos of that speedy 😍

me too

If I was ever to buy a Speedmaster, I'd want it to look like the @Condorlini

Feeling the @JAHtim vibe.

The WatchGecko Tropic strap is nice but nowhere near as nice as the actual Tropic one from WatchObsession.

Great combo!

@DethBeard thanks chap, they are cracking watches

Just got home to this little beauty waiting for me

I had been after an older steel Timex Atlantis for a while, but prices seem very silly due to reissues and even the plastic cases jobs were wanting £100ish

Then this late 80’s steel Atlantis 100 popped up super cheap on eBay. great price, great seller and a lovely little watch.

Original bracelet and everything else in great condition. Chuffed

Even compliments the Smiths, sort of...
