What time is it? Watches and horology

No pics of this, sorry, but I also liked this Junghans Max Bill regulator with black PVD case. Would look great with a black strap I reckon.

Sold as a box set of three watches, apparently retailers are allowed to split the set though.

By the way the event is open today for general admission if anyone wants to check it all out:

Lots of other independents represented, Czapek, Ikepod, Laurent Ferrier, Maurice Lacroix…

Junghans Max Bill regulator

What is it?

Hoodinky only have the lightest of coverage

CWC have brought out a replica of the original G10, known as the fatboy, which was thicker than the current standard spec, due to the movement initially used.

It retains the original version's domed acrylic crystal and is now called the CWC G10 FATBOY-80. I like the fact that the battery is still user-replaceable, though it would have been nice to have some additional water-resistance (3 ATM). [Edit: I just noticed that they have used the current handset which has a different lume insert, rather than the original style, which is a pity]

Here is the late, great, Leonard Cohen wearing his original.

Sounds like good times. Nice mug!

A special edition set they did for the 60th anniversary of the Max Bill watch. One is a standard automatic with date, one is a small seconds quartz with radio time sync, and the third is this regulator automatic. Regulator meaning the minutes and hands are on separate (sub) dials.

All have black PVD cases, black hands and orange lume. I hadn’t seen them before, they’d passed me by.

So much better.
@Ordinata CGI or not you'd think they'd put the same effort into showing the watch in the best light as they do polishing, etching and mastercrafting the watches themselves. Show some respect to the artisans that make them!

Yeah I mean in that particular article the images are heavily CGId/photoshopped but it’s to the standard you’d expect from any other high end brand and at least you can see what the watch is supposed to look like. There’s some decent, if short, articles on that site, there are a few club-exclusive ones which are a nice bonus for (recent, new) GS owners.

Actually found myself liking some Grand Seikos there!

Cheers. Somehow I missed that.

Yeah it’s Ti. Nice and light even with the chonky bracelet.

Sadly not a double cuff shirt. Lumed cuff links is a great idea.

Do it

The blue look closer to the BB58;

I used to have that Swatch! I thought I was Billy Big Bollocks with it at the time!

I like that set of three Bills. Probably the orange.

@DethBeard saw this, thought It might piqued your interest with a NATO;

Off the new watch wagon for a bit - until house renovations have been completed.

I think when that happens I would like the new 124060 sub to go alongside the Explorer but chance will be a fine thing

Fair enough chap. If and when you do start looking into it it’s definitely worth speaking to whoever you bought the Explorer from, if it was new from an AD. Any purchase history puts you ahead of all the folks with none who also want a Sub.

Bargain. I've barely worn anything else since I got mine. It's a much nicer watch than the pictures suggest.

if I could ever get the bloody bracelet off!

anybody thinking about selling a LHD Pelagos before I enter the the world of Ebay/ Chrono24?
