Watches

Well, not even a word about the price?

 

As they say "If you have to ask......."

 

This ^^^

The continual harping on about the Apollo missions is like a horological version of “my father was a tool maker”.

Everyone already knows the Speedmaster is the “Moon Watch”, so save for proper milestone anniversaries etc, they should give the limited edition schtick a bit of a rest as it comes across as a cynical marketing ploy rather than a genuine celebration.

And I say that as a fan and as an owner of a supposedly limited edition Moon Watch.

 

They faked the moon landings just to sell watches………

 

I had Moon sole shoes when i was a kid, with a compass in the heel (inside) that collapsed. Made them completely unwearable.

Should fit perfectly with a Ducati owner then Andy

my apologies, I just could not resist

 

Clarks Commandos!

 

Can’t fkn help myself… wanted one for ages. Carbon fibre so I was thinking weight saving on track days… or something…

 

Stealthy

 

Yep. Did a forward roll with it on. Need the ibuprofen now..

 

I use a sundial.

 

My Seiko's still doing what it does like it did however many years ago I last flaunted it.

 

Solid movement! I’ve got one as well. Natch…

 

Recently I purchased a Seagull 1963 pilots chronograph, a reissue of the original. Quality is excellent.

 

How do you know a copy from an authentic one?

 

The cheap ones are anything from £120 to £200 and have glass backs. Snap the official Sea Gull store is on Ali Express or go direct to Seagull. The savings are greater on Ali Express.
If you want to know more happy to upload pics showing difference between the two.

I went to get the battery changed in one of my G Shocks today and the high street jewellery shop quoted £59 with a 4 week turnaround. The fuck?

 

Simple, they don’t want your business. The high street retailer I bought my watches from, don’t offer battery changing at all. Andy

 

The cheap ones are £16. Looks like it has a metal back?

@Zhed46 Have you got a Timpsons shoe/watch repair shop near you?
I recently took my Lorus watch that I use when I’m walking into there for a battery replacement, they fitted a “lifetime “ battery ( take it back when it needs a new one and they replace it FOC ) for £29 which I thought was a bit of a bargain tbh ..
