What watch do you wear?

[hughtrimble]

Love the speedmasters, too bad there are not many option in the 38mm for my girly wrists.

The Reduced doesn't have the same proportions unfortunately, so I think it looks a bit peculiar in comparison. The standard 42mm given the twisted lugs actually wears really quite well on smaller wrists, and it is such a strap monster that it's hard to find a wrist that it doesn't look good on.

That speedmaster is lovely.

Does anyone know were the best place is to sell a watch. I have an Omega seamaster 300 that was bought for me by my wife in 2005. I don't want to use chrono 24 or ebay, any other places people could recomend.

Which version is it?

You can reach out to a dealer or use a Facebook group.

It's a 2531.80 mate.

I've sold some of my watches to or through Kibblewatches (https://kibblewatches.co.uk/). I didn't have any issues at all and James is very professional.

Thanks mate I will have a look.

Traded in my oyster strap gmt 2 for a newer model

I almost bought one of those when I was in China, looked quite well made but the movement gave it away

Superclone?

Superclone?

No I've not seen these before. They look quite good from the website. This was a cheaper clone.

Aside a garmin running watch I'm not much of a watch wearer but was tempted to buy it as a bit of fun

Was just browsing youtube when i came across this , now this is the seamaster i want.

No helium valve and no date perfect.

The actual watch he's reviewing the NTTD seamaster is a beauty but 8K is pushing it a bit.
(the pic is not the NTTD one its a mock up he did of his perfect seamaster)

That is rather nice. I'd be tempted by one in 38mm and apart from a Railmaster, 38mm probably the only other Omega I could ever see myself owning.

Seamasters should have a fully lumed bezel, considering the 007 version with the fauxtina has a lumed ceramic bezel I'd fully expect the rest to be the same but they are not. For the first time I looked at the Omega site today and was shocked to see 51 variations of the Seamaster 300M alone, quite frankly that's a bit ridiculous!

I like the aesthetc features of the 007 version and the colour tone all muted and all matte case... But it does not deserve a broadarrow on the dial and caseback. Such a mark is only for property specifically issued by the government to service personnel so it is purely a marketing ploy by Omega much like they milk the first watch on the moon motto through all their 11 million Speedy releases

I really appreciate vintage inspired watches and re-issues, but do it tastefully you big corps. Hamilton left off the broad arrow from the Khaki Pilot Pioneer for a reason, other brands should follow that example!

 

[Kamakazie!]

I didn't think they were allowed to put a broadarrow of it wasn't military issued. I'm surprised they are allowed to sell them.

Try BQ watches.

I suspect an agreement of certain £££ was made, as is usually the case these days.

[dlockers]

Had to do it.

 

[xb8browney]

Nice, Heritage Black Bay? I'd have wanted something with a date.

 

[dlockers]

Black Bay 58. I wanted something clean and black, but the gold and red really set it off. For some reason the Tudor website references pink gilding. Not sure what that is all about
