Post pics of your watches Part II

Wibbs

And we're onto a new thread... Here's to the next 10,000. My first post in the last thread featured this watch I'm wearing today as it happens so seemed appropriate.

It tries to connect to a signal sent from Frankfurt and has about 1500km range so in theory it should be okay for Ireland.

I wonder why I've looked into it :pac:

It might be that it didn’t have the ability to adjust the time by an hour and keep sync with the atomic clock to allow for our time difference.

I don’t care either way, manual setting will do me!

Edit: knew I wasn’t imaging it! Post 8 on this:

Sure you cant take it with you

, and Rolex is the least expensive watch you can own. You should get one, feel what they are about and if you dont like it after a few years flog it for 500 more than you bought it for tax free wasting chattel.

It's a quartz. Does it matter?

That said, my mechanical Deepsea automatic is keeping better time than my Deepsea quartz wall clock from China
I guess if you really want to know the exact time, almost all watches and clocks are useless and you will have to check your phone or your computer :eek:

That’s was one thing I couldn’t get my head around before buying my first automatic. Why pay more for less accuracy! I’ve got over it though, don’t even set the date some times

In 2017 it bought my triple glazing, paid off my car loan

It's an awful affliction tho, I sold out of everything to cash a few weeks ago.
I was up, made a nice profit but if I'd kept the positions just a bit longer...
Profit would 400% rather than the paltry 50% I banked.
It has more than paid for the current crop of watches too.

Still I'm now waiting for the next crash to buy all over again.

The RTC in an iPhone was originally a quartz oscillator (same as most RTCs). Less accurate than the typical quartz watch (since it is of little importance) but quartz nonetheless.

They changed to a MEMS oscillator around I think the iPhone 6 or 7. If you put one of these iPhones in a helium atmosphere, the helium (which has tiny molecules and has a habit of crossing airtight barriers) gets into the MEMS cavities and screws up the oscillator, crashing the phone.

Seiko & Pentax, a marriage made in heaven.

Wow, we are getting very Artsy in here of late

@ Cycling,

First day back to work (well paid work!) after 3 weeks off to the day for Xmas.

My second 'waiting for the starlight' watch. Also just my second watch :P

banie01

This has been almost 8 weeks in transit, 7 of them lost somewhere in bowels of DHL.
It got here yesterday, and it's why my Steinhart had to be moved on

The Mrs wasn't at all impressed, especially considering the surprise watch she'd sprung on me for Xmas.

It's a 2012 IWC 387802 and it feels huge! But wears smaller than I expected if that makes any sense?

Anyway it's cheered me up no end

Absolutely, the colour seems so simple but changes every time I look at it.
I've been playing with its reflections all morning and the starburst is bloody lovely!

Banie....that IWC is lovely, love the dial. Its a two reg chrono too so wibbs will be happy.

Well wear! I'm a huge fan of the Crafter Blue with that colourway. Looks the business.

Hairy Clarke's watch.

The best bezel in the business, quite dark most of the time but pops in the sun....god looking forward to the weekend, only back this week and its like I have been working for 5 months straight.

A couple of arrivals this week.

Very pretty little (34mm) Credor. Battery change and a polish was all that was required.

GS bracelet for my dark blue dial GS that had come on a leather strap. I have been looking for one for almost a year. People ask stupid money for them! This one came from Japan and was a third the price of some I have seen on Chrono24, even factoring in import charges. It is not perfect, but then I wear this watch most days so I don't worry about the odd scuff.
