Will try and do some later

They came to a RedBar Bristol event, with the full range. They really do stand up to closer inspection.
And they were also kind enough to give me a nice UV torch for setting lume aglow.

Certainly I would be interested.
As others have said, the "proper" handset would be great, along with a usable WR (Hanhart get 100m WR with non-screwdown crown on their 417 ES watches that use the...

I'd love to, but after their initial run, it seems that they can't be bothered to make any more non-date Aqualions, so that's me out.

So the Timex arrived last night.

First impressions?
Very comfy, very light, very legible, and actually pretty stylish in a pared back manner.
The rotor noise is quite loud.
The bracelet is very...

Me too, so tempted in fact that I bought one (see the other thread on "true" GMT watches).
On its way to me now.
Already sold out on the James Brand site (they offered it as usual, or with an EDC...

I have ordered one of those Timexes
It seems a no-brainer to me.
Omega charge a £2000 differential between the steel Planet Ocean and the grade 5 Titanium one.
You get the whole grade 5 Ti Timex...

That is a really well specified watch, very nice.

Sinn always badged the EZM2 as Wasserdicht.
No depth rating or anything like that, the Wasser was simply dicht

I purposefully went for a 657 rather than an 857, when I went looking, and bought a 657 in 2016. I wrote the below at the time

And so on to the 657. It gave way to the 857 in the model line-up. At...

Thanks
The EZM is on one of Watchgecko's nylon straps. Not sure they do it any more. They do a sailcloth one, but only with orange stitching, not red.
Zuludiver do one, HERE, but it costs way more...

I see it sold out in 38 minutes..........

Good, glad you like it. Of course, thinking of PD, Schifferle & Schifferle do re-coating.

2 for me.
EZM1 and Tutima Commando.
What I consider Sinn's highest rated watch has never disappointed. The blasted Ti, the classical shape, the total functionality.
A true design classic, and as...

Last time I checked, Wallwork were charging about £800 for a DLC treatment of a full watch.
Never had anything done, but they do components for more watch companies than just Bremont

I tried...

Some herbert, driving a van he was not used to, managed to swipe off the front bumper of our old 2011 Superb the other week, pulling into a parking space.
Right outside our front door.
He was good...

The Timpsons outside our local supermarket has that poster. It always disappointed me that the watch also clearly has an issue with the day changeover too - looks awful.

I do not lead a life where anything pristine white would remain that colour for more than 30 minutes.
It may look great, but it simply wouldn't work for me

I knew Phil Toledano quite well, we went to school together, same year.
He has a real thing for the rarer releases from PP, Rolex and others from back in the 80s when they allowed themselves to...

Those are Tamworth crosses (not sure with what). Pure Tamworths have a short bristle coat, not a long one like that, and they are massive. Mangalitsas maybe???

A Porsche went pas the other day with the plate ETH1C, probably belongs to a lawyer????

Sorry, no, I am not talking about the spiral tachy. The external bezel is a simple fixed 0-60 scale. Nothing to do with cycling. And a poor detail, imho

Relevant Catalogues?

Loved that, right up to the point where I saw one of my pet peeve details, a 0-60 fixed bezel.
WTF? It's in the Pelagos range, put a proper rotating bezel on that. And it would be near perfect.

My fairly basic watch photography efforts mostly fall into the map cliche, but the maps I use are personal to me, because they are a dust sheet made of cloth maps of the Sudan, maps which my...
