What time is it? Watches and horology

So decided to give the timex a quick punt. 41mm gmt with a very clean dial and lovely looking bezel. Sold out I think it went on sale today. Wow...

Guess there's a need for 41mm watches still

Big fan of citizen and those models in particular. I much prefer the eco drive version. I think a white dial will be along soon enough.

What model are those Citizens? Really like em but can’t find them on their site.

Great!

I think you checked out my Seiko 5 GMT? I really like it. Took it as my only watch on a trip away the year before last and it really grew on me.

As someone above said, the 60s style line of Presage GMTs with the same movement also look really nice.

Closest this got to the actual sea (couple of weeks ago as access to the site blocked while away)

Wear the GMT you own and spend the money on a bike instead.

I’ve changed.

The Timex seems to be able to add to cart again.

To follow up on my previous suggestion of the presage GMT I really like the Seiko laurel model

Up until recently I've regarded Citizen as Argos shelf fillers but they've been knocking it out the park with the Tsuyosa series and now the NJ0180. I've just ordered the chrono version from a shop in Italy, seems hard to find in the UK for some reason.

The Citizen collection is trying to go full Grand Seiko with this one. They look nice and the dimensions sound perfect for me but I'd like to see one in the metal as they are nudging GS territory on prices.

Lol!

Haven't citizen had a full "grand Seiko" offering longer than seiko? We just never saw them in the UK.

I love the older ‘the citizen’ chronomaster range. Super ti, extremely accurate haq, great dimensions, lume and washi paper dials. Not so keen on the new eagle versions.

Manga-themed 2100s incoming.

Yeah, let us know when the child returns your account to you

TBF every successful 40+ year old I know wears trainers and has lego.

cough

Love it. There should be more real life Manga things.

TBF I'm not getting Manga from that.

More Art Attack / Lichtenstein.

tbh I know nothing of Manga. But living in a cartoon appeals. They also do it in blue. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196401331532?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1ppyftsmqni&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=0PDdBtKRSKe&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Ha! They all start creeping in with it out of focus in the background of the main shots. To be honest I don't mind the round cased models with the rubber straps, the vintage ones. Don't like the logo and the fact that they use it on the hands all the time. Personally pick a Hublot over a Bremont any day. Whenever I say Hublot in my head, I always think of Biver saying it.
