What time is it? Watches and horology

Anyone? three hours to go...

They cost £160 new not including P&P and import tax etc.

Nice looking imo.

Not my cup of tea but looks like a good price if you like it.

I don't like the lack of minute markers.

First watch look lovely, any idea on make?

Does look it Dan, cheer.

A grand! that's me out then.

Looks nice though.

Question for the many seiko skx owners on here: How accurate does your watch run?
Mine seems to run really slow, Im having to reset it at least once a week because after a few days it will be running about 2 minutes behind. I reset it yesterday afternoon and it's already 5 seconds slow now.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Yup - but they are discontinued now

I'll keep my eye on it...

The internetz implies that Seiko's 'within parameters' is 15/20 seconds a day, so yours isn't wildly out. They are built and sold without being timed, so a man with the tools could probably get it closer to 0. I have one but haven't timed it accurately, but over a month it gains a few minutes.

Bit late to the party but pretty sure I saw one of these down at Spittalfields Market this lunch time.

Was thinking about getting my missus a watch. Saw a guy selling a couple of Tissots at £40 a pop and obscure automatic at £20 (can't for the life of me find anything about it on teh internetz. Sure it was made by a company called Hermatix but that sounds vaguely STD-ish!)

Thought about something vintage but affordable as not sure she'll actually wear it all that much. Any ideas send them my way...

If you're after something cheap for your missus I've got this knocking about.

Re: the SKX, they can vary a bit when new - mine ran fast for the first few weeks but has been accurate to 1min per month for two years now.

Looks interesting. Do you have more details? PM me if you'd rather.
Cheers.

Nice, you can even build your own.

My new watch arrived today.

It's even more impressive in person. Awesome watch, very pleased I made this choice.

I can't take photos of it that would be any better than others you can find on the web, but here's a shot of it on my arm.

Nice the photo dude!

That is well better than a rolex

^^first dibs

Back off! It's mine! I posted first!

Anyway, it's too big for you

Easy chaps, I seriously doubt I'll be selling this. Ever.

But yes, way, way better that a Rolex! Cheers.

Should've got one of your wrist in front of the Mercedes team bus.
