What time is it? Watches and horology

Go with your gut. Maybe trying it on may change your mind. Enjoy the trip nonetheless 😃

Saw these other day:

The Calatrava is a very classy watch

Straton new effort is rather mental.

I believe you can read the time in different cities on the little display at the bottom? Can't recall how and don't have it with me.

is there a maximum acceptable degree of looseness for a steel bracelet type watch strap?

asking for a friend.

The newer solar/Bluetooth 2100s have time zone / world time functionality.

Yeah SEL + drilled lugs is the sweet spot. Would love a polar myself. Grats!

Gotta says I much prefer the newer GMT instead of the old one with the gigantic 12, 9 and 6.

Judging by yours, mine is too loose. Will need to get a link taken out.

I mean, advise my friend to get a link removed.

Mines a bit loose right now actually, I’ll be removing half a link when I get home.

I would advise your friend the same based on this.

I like that

Banger 👌🏻 Also prefer the black myself, lovely stuff.

Also looking good!

Have just posted my Breitling Superocean Heritage 57 in the classifieds.

Very much ‘hardly worn’.

Bargain at £1,750.00

I have some good news in my life that I'd like to commemorate with a new watch. The following three watches are roughly the same price. The vintage watch comes with a receipt for a recent repair, beyond that I don't know much about that particular model or vintage Zenith watches for that matter.

Your thoughts?

make it new, that centre helson is very distinctive

Is the first Helson a full lume dial? That’s cool if so

@Regal Congratulation, curious to have a more detailed side by side comparison of the SLA and the SJE..

Mine is slowly growing on me, wasn’t sure at the beginning..

Really love the dial/dome combo, super shiny and reflective due to polished indexes..

Haven’t worried much about time keeping but seems decent, power reserve is a bit light compared to modern rolex, but it’s not the same price range tough..

In the sunlight..

Nice!

That’s quite a big difference between dress watch and dive watch.

Looks great in that light I love how the dome looks on that one. Nice comparison vs a BB 54 here https://youtube.com/watch?v=A-Lrb0k2_t4&feature=share8

The Seiko look very much a vintages watch whether the BB54 is very much a modern take.
