What time is it? Watches and horology

Is Clint drinking Pepsi?

I don't reckon Clint's a Pepsi kind of guy...

But he'd have ruined Shirley!

The black has faded to dark blue. The old ones do. The new ones don't as they use a different material that doesn't fade. Also the lume gone a nice creamy colour.

I have chrono shame :(

Have just been banned from watchuseek forum for advertising a nice automatic replica IWC for sale. I did say it was a replica in the listing m'lud.

Did you actually have one for sale or were you just winding them up? :-)

Jesus.

Good Lord, is that the time?
#etc

Now sold. Pics remain for posterity:

Really like that... Seiko movement is probably better than the real thing...

I doubt it.

You would say that...

I doubt it.

According to Alsal who must have seen a fair few watches in their time. The movement in the Portuguese is the same as the movement in the Junghans Max Bill. Yet there is a difference of several thousand pounds between the two. Hmmm.

In other news here is my latest lust:

Andy Murray panics at end of US Open victory after misplacing his sponsor's watch before receiving his trophy

    ** After becoming Britain's first male grand slam winner on an emotional night in    New York, Andy Murray dropped to his knees, took off his wristbands and    discovered one element of his timing was missing on the night. Rather than a    roar of victory his first words were: "I don't have my watch."   **

probably paid to wear it too...

they paid him or he paid them :-)

Any recommendations as to where to buy a strap like this from? Or is ebay my best bet?

Murts makes something similar.

Is this not a very good deal?
Seiko Automatic 5 for £61

Also want this, just need a watch to put it on...

After a bit of advice as the strap on my G-Shock GW-M5600 is breaking - had a quick look on Amazon and the one that looks the same is specifically not for my model...

Anybody know where I can get a new one?

Google. I get tons of options that way - even on Amazon. Failing that see if the GShock shop near 7 dials has reopened.

My geek side likes these new Seiko Astron watches very much:

GPS timekeeping and automatic location time sync. Not necessary, but nice.
