What time is it? Watches and horology

Can you do me a squeeze on a black faced one?

Trying to find reasons NOT to buy this...and failing miserably!!!

my favourite watch, good call (i am one day, wanna get a '68)

My watch, Nixon Rotolog:

try reading that after a few beers : )

Anyone know a good watch repairer? I know there used to be a guy in Piccadilly Station but he seems to have closed down...

I have an automatic Tissot Seastar, that keeps its own time....

that's quite nice

the rotolog is very interesting.

here's another one of those omegas, good pics so all the detail can be seen

My watch, Nixon Rotolog:

I quite like some Nixon's but their build quality is shite, I've had 3 and not one has lasted more than 6 months.

My TokyoFlash Pimp & new Suzie ProMax..

Obshayd'ar?

Just seen this thread another of my obsessions is watches and yes I do change the straps

oh man, you gotta be putting a black strap on that TAG tho…

What, no Rolex(es) KC? Pfffffffff, not a real watch collector ;-)

Gerald, can you tell me more about that lovely watch you were wearing on Monday at Souths?

Usually I like watches with steel braclets, case, silver dial, registers etc but I've always wanted one of these!

This is my favorite watch that I own.

nice collection KC

Awesome collection and the fact that I can't see a Rolex there makes it even better! Love that BR-01

@ Pistanator.
Rolexes are shit.
really fucking shit. They're mechanisms may be amazing but everything else about them just screams I'm a twat; my watchface has a bubble on it because I'm mildly myopic, and slowly balding.
My flashy watch might distract you when we're fucking in the scum infested toilets of some two bit pub, but sooner or later you'll realise you have just contracted herpes.

I hate Rolexes.

@KC very nice.

haha, too true.

and rolex's are known for having crappy mechanism's. they are shite time keepers

Alright Henners, calm down lad

I'm jealous now. Nice KC.

You need a JLC or IWC in there.

Defo an IWC

TBH though, I wouldn't wear any of those in that box

All are quality watches.

Contemporary.

Out of curiosity, what did your collection look like 5 years ago KC?

Not like that. I meant I wouldn't wear them cos I wouldn't suit them, they're nice to look at but not to wear - which sounds a contradiction in terms

Gerald, can you tell me more about that lovely watch you were wearing on Monday at Souths?

certainly doll face

made in mid seventies with a mechanical movement i think it was designed to appeal to drivers. the movement and numbers are flat and diplayed vertically by means of a prism.
the numbers are printed in reverse.

another from the same era and of the driving style is the jaz derby but these are chunkier, rarer and have a rotary mechanism

they both look okay with a leather strap fitted.
