What time is it? Watches and horology

Sadly didn’t get the above. Picked up a nice swatch for Mrs Magpie while we though

Should've! I want one.

It's a modded Seiko 5 that I got from yobokies years ago.

I’m patiently waiting another 10 years or so before I can pull one of those off. Then, I’m definitely getting one.

Been wearing the Omega today as well, what a week it’s been…Just had a couple of beers with a mate and tried on his EZM. Very cool watch, but I wouldn’t pay nowhere near as much as it costs these days - that’s the case with quite a few to be fair.

I like that Sinn a lot.

Love that Sinn. What's the reason it doesn't feel like it's worth the money? I love bead blasted or matte case finish but I find it does cheapen the feel. Wouldn't worry me wearing it though

Perhaps because it's twice the price of this one? https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/EZM_13_1.htm

Tonight our German friends were over

I'm loving the Sinn love in the thread at the moment

Oh don’t get me wrong, fantastic watch. It’s just that this is the EZM1, titanium case/bracelet with Lemania 5100 movement inside and it’s around £6k these days.

Yeah, that's a little spicy for a tool watch. Still, drool ...

It's funny, not a huge fan with sub dials added and different case finish.

That's making me want to get the bracelet for my EZM

There's another similar Sinn - the EZM3F - not a chrono or titanium but has the same look, is a kick ass tool watch (anti mag, 200m waterproof, dehumidifying tech and a date you can read) and comes in around £1,250 on a strap...

Thanks, I like that. It would be better with the little jet on the seconds hand but considering the price difference i'd get over it. Adding it to the watch watch list.

Is it weird I'd like a solar/ eco-drive version of this?

Nah, that’d to me make it more of a proper tool watch, a lots of tool watch are Quartz (I’m talking tool, not fashionable tool)

Birthday watch has arrived. Absolutely love it! I’m going to wear it this week while I’m on holiday then put it away till my actual birthday end of July.

Is that the one you were after for ages?

Looks great.

Absolutely beautiful that! Some great details on that dial!

Sweet, enjoy!

Yup. 😊. Still feels like an unacceptable extravagance, but whatever I saved up for it and you only turn 40 once.

It’s a keeper though!

Congrats! Very nice indeed.

That's lovely!

That mark 2 is totally bossing it.
