What time is it? Watches and horology

That SeaStar looks legit. I wouldn't be worrying.

Anyone here have or have experience of Davosa? Interesting looking smaller Swiss brand:

They look nice but are about £200 more expensive than Steinhart for the same type of watch...

Which models are you referring to?

President FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT's Personal 18K Gold Repeater Pocket Watch

$20 postage for a watch estimated at £1M?

£30k of Paypal fees (not including final value ebay fee) seems steep too. Surely better to put out on private auction rather than on eBay?

I guess you'd list it on ebay for the publicity that a private sale may not generate?

I've asked them if I can pick up locally.

Who the fuck is Frankie Roosterfelt anyway?

Can I just say - Chainbreaker's watch. In the flesh.

Love this:

Its BIG! though.

These are the ones I'm talking about - fecking great!

Its BIG! though.

True, too big to wear realistically, I tried an Aquatimer on up in town and even though my wrists are far from dainty it does just look too big.

Not gonna claim to know a lot about watches so i might be asking about a dud brand but just wondering if anyone had any experience of Larsson & Jennings watches. I'm looking for an everyday watch that is still fairly classic in its styling..something like this

Any recommendations at this sort of price range or cheaper?

That Porsche watch - Would!

What is it? Older model chrono?

What is it? Older model chrono?

Looks like it.

Looks a bit dated. The finish on that bracelet will show your fingerprints like a bitch which would royally fuck me off.
