What time is it? Watches and horology

I prefer bodiesanddoyle's answer.

Maxing out your credit card will improve your credit rating, eventually, and provided the bailiffs don't get involved :)

Nevermind.

I was seeing it tomorrow, just got an email to say it has sold.

Probs for the best.

Watch winders.....

Anyone have any recommendations? Seem to range from £50 to Abramovic level.

Three autos at the moment but I'm sure the stable will expand.

Seconding that question. My oldish (60s/70s) Omega Seamaster is fine when I'm wearing it but on my cheapo watch winder it gets stuck at about 11.30 pm which is when the date should switch.

For whatever reason the winder isn't working like it being on my wrist but is there much difference between the cheap and Abramovich levels in terms of winding ability?

Or does the watch need servicing and the winder's fine?

Winders are a bit of a gimmick IMHO.

If it works perfectly when being worn, I wouldn't put it on a winder. When was the Seamaster last serviced?

Needs a service. The heat from your wrist is probably keeping the oil fluid , hence why stopping in the box . Just my opinion tho .....

Ref IWC , I have a nice Portugese coming in second hand soon , circa £ 3500 to £ 4000 . Pictures to follow .

I'm confused by this

What are you confused about?

It's pretty fucking ugly...

^^ They won't ship to Albania. And I'm out.

Cheers, think it was about 7 or 8 years since the last service. I don't always wear it so the winder is to save the faff of resetting the time afterwards. Maybe I'll have to just be less lazy.

So it used to be 18k gold but then someone decided to get it finished in PVD. It now looks bleak yet they want $17k. Is it really worth that?

i was looking at Midos recently
