What time is it? Watches and horology

NGL, Ploprof is a grail.
I keep flitting between it being a pipe dream and saving for one.
Doubt I'll ever be able to justify buying one, unless the premium bonds spits out a fat prize.

New to me 1970 issued Smiths W10 in lovely condition and still working beautifully.

Very cool!

I’m glad I didn’t gazump you though!

I tend to try and buy things quickly from eBay these days as I've lost out due to indecision before ....

The no date versions like the one you've bought are very nice and clean looking

Does anyone have a Team Izukawa Tag Heuer Carrera? It’s the first watch I have wanted to add to the collection in a few years. I love it.

Nah the scale is unitless - you measure time over a known distance in whatever units you want, then it tells you the speed in those same units.
Eg. 1 mile in 30 seconds is 120mph but also 1km in 30 seconds is 120kph, although clearly they’re not the same actual speed.

Exactly, it’s units per hour. The tachymeter converts [one unit covered] in [number of seconds recorded] to [units per hour].

Chronographs with tachymeter scales were commonly used by supervisors in factories to measure capacity / speed of output. Time how long it takes to make one item from start to finish, and you then know how many units you're producing per hour.

Gah, new Autodromo Group B Night Stage launched, right when I'm at my most broke.

So tachymeters and chronos are a right wing plant?

I'll stick to my 3 hand dress watches. 😁

Is it limited ?

New strap day for my Seiko (as I still can't find pin&collars to replace lost ones).

Quite a thick affair, never actually noticed when wearing.

The comment was they were used by managers for timing staff and output, probably should have said capitalist.

It was a light hearted attempt at a joke

Nice!

What's the point of selling? ;-)

Looking for a 21mm nato strap for the Tissot… any recommendations?

A grey Bark & Jack one? They look nice.
