What time is it? Watches and horology

I'm not even going to mention the way they've squeezed "LVMH" in there. I'm embarrassed for them.

'the following fonts are missing...'

That puts me right off buying one

European exclusive Samurai LE looks quite nice if you like maroon and gold. £660.

I know right, I'd have had one for myself and one for the wife if they'd had the good grace to buy a professional font.

Ha! Yeah fair enough, was only messing and was just a generalisation. For the record I do rate Omega.

leaving the period off "Co."

cannot unsee. actually looks a bit "knock off" like that

I thought that too 😂

I love @Regal, I feel like we should all run our possible purchases by him. Just to be safe.

Except when he talks Ariel cause he starts sounding a bit crazy... (jokes buddy!)

Found another pic of it!

Whatha think @regal?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this thread.. @Regal has the power to make you hate a watch you previously liked.

And hate yourself for ever liking it

Because you cannot unsee what @Regal sees

The thing which I can't unsee is the centering of the logo, vs text

That why I got the Paulin watches, I don’t wanna see his wrath with a letterpress.

I keep on idly thinking I should c&p his posts into the Hoodinky comments to see if Ben Whatshischops deletes them.

Mate, you better believe I’m over there calling them out when they put Arial on the tachy scale of their $30,000 HOODWINKEE x Montblanc collab.

They brought it on themselves - SJP did an interview with Jonathan Hoefler and got all preachy about typography so as far as I’m concerned they’re fair game.

What's the take from other posters and do the comments survive?

I remember posting a derisory comment ( but far from offensive or inappropriate) and it was removed.

Soon to be nicknamed “Ariel Oak” by the community.

Generally they get 2 likes and are widely ignored.

😂😂😂😂

U talking bout Seiko yeh? 😁

Talking of Seiko… lovely dial on this. Would like to see it in the Series 9 case.

That's norty.

Still can't believe that 'grandseikogs9club.uk' is a genuine GS domain ha

Ha. I like to think it's an internal GS splinter group subverting the Seiko patriarchy by posting actual decent photographs of the watches.
