What time is it? Watches and horology

Yesterday evening light

Favourite watch on here by far. Great light/photo too.

Those are some big discounts. I like the Airman GMT design but it is so vintage-looking, maybe too much so for me.

An SPRJ43 just sold for $1250…

Kind of. they resisted it at $1,800

Kill me now etc

I'm kinda in to this. Checked out a couple of reviews and these have some of the most curved down lugs I've seen. Even more than my Squale 1521 so should fit my skinny wrists ok. Any opinions on Glycine? https://www.glycinestore.eu/p/combat-sub-42-mm-bronze-gmt-813

I have a Blue/black Combat Sub. It fit's brilliantly. Really sits flat on the wrist and the lugs do help. I don't love it though and rarely wear it as there's some details that bug me. Pics that may help...

Thanks. What bugs you about it aesthetic or functional ? I like the shape. The bits I'm not so keen on yours wouldn't be an issue on the Bronze one i'm looking at

Hmmmm. Buyer failed to pay I guess, good old eb*y.

Wish you could see what the "best offer" was, a few have sold that way.

Mostly aesthetic. The movement feels great, is smooth and accurate enough. And overall build quality is very nice.

However, because it is 42mm and very thin for a dive watch (11-ish mm) combined with the flat crystal it can appear a bit dinner plate like. If it were 40mm with domed crystal I think that would be ideal.

Plus there's lots of little things – the polished sides should be brushed. Too much text on the dial and a cheap and nasty applied logo with a horrible design. Also the shiny blue bezel could do with being more of a satin finish. And the handset...

I bought it massively discounted, think around the $500 AUD mark. So good value for the specs, but yeah - I should sell it.

Thanks some of those points wouldn't be an issue on the model I'm looking at but i don't want a dinner plate. That was what put me off the Yema superman Bronze Bordeaux when they were on sale a few months ago. Too risky for me to buy without trying one on even if the price is tempting. I keep getting a reoccurring Bronze urge just like my Pepsi urge. Watches are worse than bikes 🙄

Wearing the Certina today

Dug out the ProTrek F30

Don't think I will keep it, not really liking smart watches.

Anyone interested?
Barely used, I'll likely have the box and manual somewhere.

I really like that. Nicely balanced Great vfm too.

Do all Certina come with rainbows?

New watch day today. I've been looking at this model for more than a year and decided to take the plunge. It wears a bit smaller than I expected. The strap will be replaced but not sure with what yet...

Funky! I like it, congratulations 👌

New strap day...

Strap Taylor and Tudor deployment clasp, the clasp still needs to be stripped of the black paint to reveal the steel finish.

My partner's bag was nicked the other day, including her watch. I'll be on the lookout for something similar if anyone has something let me know. Ideally a 34-36mm gold plated Omega, auto or hummer. She previously had an Omega Geneve like the attached image.

Grabbed a (Jupiter) moonswatch the other day. Lovely bit of fun.

Love this.

Looks great I'm getting another from the strap tailor similar to yours. The Badalassi wax tan leather without contrast stitching. I'd like a Tudor clasp or buckle if i can find one is it 18 or 20mm at the clasp?
