O shit, that's rad

Yusssss!

You really are a true connisour, the Elnix is amazing.

Woooooooo! I love the suspense!!

Yep, 5119 really is the unrivalled king of Calatravas, not a fan of Roman numerals on a watch either but in this case it actually works.

Bad angle, but it's not a small case. 5119 to compare.

Edit: and I have micro wrists

Beyond cool

Tudor at it's best imo

Happy Friday!

5019r, when in Rome.

£54,540...

Nvm sad face

Absolutely would, not even being sarcastic. Would fully daily this.

Awesome! Well done buddy.

Instagram page?

Dear glorious leader, can you update my email please? Would you me to give you a PM with the details and/or an email?

Wrong conversation, nvm.

Yeah kind of what @M_V said. Also by debranding it I'm trying to send a signal out that I know you (potential bike theif) are looking at my bike and lock so I've stripped it. So if I've gone through the trouble of that then I might have spent s few quid on my lock. But who knows, that might bite me in the arse one day.

It's a tuning fork watch, tuning fork vibrates at 300hz regulating the watch. When it's powered up you can hear a faint ring coming from the movement, like have a mosquito in there, but not an annoying one.

I've "broken" the plastic housing off of all my Abus d-locks and gotten rid of all of the branding so it makes it harder for potential theivs to ID.

Other pros include more room to lock bike with and will really hurt my opponent if I need to use it to dual at sundown.

Had the case back off of my mates one to take a look around a few weeks ago, absolutely wikid in there. He's got the strap version, looks great and love the sound these movements make make!

Little bit of a fan of the Overseas, now's a good time to get one, the internet is taking a big old dump on VC at the moment.

It will be popular in a decade because no one bought one.

Bump! Yes this is still for sale... £190 price drop yay!

Ahh, wowzerz, all this GS talk has got me wondering what my next one is going to be again.

I work in the watch industry, been in it for over 10 years now and I'm 28 so it's really all I know. I work in a very well respected Swiss atelier so Grand Seiko are and always have been a rival by default.

I thought I'd feel a lot safer from their slow creep across Europe in the watch house I work at now, I certainly didn't feel at ease for the latter period of my previous employment at everyone's favourite watch company.

Instead of fearing thy enemy I thought I'd get to know litteraly everything about them that I could, knowledge is power etc. The culmination of this exercise ended up with me buying one so I'm not quite sure how that worked out for me.

And unfortunatly my SBGA031 does shit all over the other watches I own, some of which being a little more pricey.

Especially when I put them under the microscope (litteraly) and take them apart (also litteraly). The 16610LV suffers the worst in the asthetic catagory, it just looks flat and void of all character next to the GS, and the dial/hands are just not finished to nearly the same standard.

Anyway I'm genuinely interested in the upcoming SBGN007, although I'm also tempted to find and restore a late 70's 61GS. Would also like a vintage VFA but fuck££££££ not happening.

But... my spring drive is predicted to finish the year at +6 spy so buying a new 9F movement doesn't seem worth while, I guess?

Might be time to think about a mortgage actually.

Just heard about this, came on here to have a look, but that roadcc article was the first thing I thought of when I was told about this latest incident...

Saying that, this vehicle had "brakes" so I don't see what all the fuss is about. Even if the rider completely neglected to use them, he's still got brakes. He should have stayed on the scene and he would be treated like any other vehicle on the road that has brakes installed. He'll get a slap on the wrist and sent home.

Two weeks after the Alliston case a guy on a caad with disc's plowed into a woman in Mayfair few streets away from me and no one in the media batted an eyelid. If you got brakes, didn't bust a red, then stay at the scene.

Also wow I litteraly just watched the video of the crash on the s*n website, looks like she tried to off herself... But I suppose we'll find out later what happened.

Much better without all the brakes.

Is it yours Gaston?
