What time is it? Watches and horology

Polished case so pretty shiny yes. Also the booklet that came with it is in Japanese so haven't quite worked out how to change the date yet.

LOWERCASE

I don't understand why it's there.... Am I missing something

LOWERCASE is the name of the company, NWC is the sub-brand.

Happy friday

had a mkii speedy but not the racing dial, lovely 😍

Should be standard 1st click out/position and turn, looks like a Seiko NH35A in there from a quick google...

It was the dial that really sold it to me. The fade is really nice.

totally, and much nicer than the newer one they did... the radial brushing is still really nice on yours too, so many it's totally gone. beaut

That's such a great watch. Did you get it from someone on here?

I'm not in the market but bump for a lovely looking thing!

Beautiful.

Happy Friday ☀️

Yes, from @freddo who put in quite a bit of effort to find it but then found another grail. It's a very nice example.

A late entry. Switched the bracelet for a silicone strap for the hot weather.

My watch guy has finally got inside this. It’s in cracking condition for a 1943 watch, and has the original paper insert between the case back and anti-mag cover. Movement markings correlate with the caseback so it looks totally original. New crystal fitted and currently running +/- 2 mins /24 hours but getting better… nice dial eh?

Really nice !

Thanks! Just need a strap now. Canvas seems the most appropriate, but hard to find one that looks right…

I think this is way cool - bit like a one watch for life thing - , but, must have been a fair headache to get it

this bugger is still going,, all by itself

Any Garmin experts?
I'd like to try a Garmin watch, as a motivator to get fitter. The stupid whoop didn't exactly make sense.
When did they stop making fun y2k looking watches? Is there a model from the fun era that's still usable?

That’s cool, love the hands.

Maybe one of the last of the OG Forerunner range? They were always blocky and functional.

I have a Forerunner 45s (S meaning small)

I love it , modern, functional and looks relatively understated .. I spent a while getting the screen/display to my liking (simple, non-inverse) .. battery lasts and charger seems more reliable than earlier versions.
