Who Watches the Watchmen (Our Chit Chat Thread)

Just shy of 6.5k. Think their cheapest model is around 4.5k. You pay extra for engraved dials vrs painted dials, ceramic dial vs brass dial etc. Mine is still relatively entry level and they can be up to 20k when you add in-house movements, PM cases etc.

Seiko 5 GMT on the way according to reddit, bit pricey when you could nearly have 2 moon swatches for it🙊

807 is very handsome. From what (little) I know of your other watches I can see how you would like this one.

Can't help there unfortunately. I've got a 741 and I'm tempted by either 182 or 1165.

Would've probably bought it today only for the 10 months lead time. Was very close... Then I started browsing and ran into the 1165 and its so bloody elegant and yet casual. And again, 10 months.

On the upside with those lead times I probably wouldn't lose much at all on my 741. There is only one 2nd hand one on chrono and its listed for a little more for what I paid new.

Re the exhibition watches - are you not allowed tried them on? i was in weirs a few weeks ago and they said they were for display purposes only

You are allowed to try them on. Same in Lunn's too. But like yourself, I was refused to try one on in Weir's a few weeks ago. I'd say badly trained junior staff don't know what they are doing in Weir's. Very unprofessional.

These watches in Schiphol were all real though, and just a young lady in the shop, a few million worth of Rolex there. And no security to speak of. But I guess they reckon there are cameras everywhere and it was airside too

thats ridiculous from Weirs the whole idea of exhibition watches is that you have something for someone to try on FFS.

What do you think? 😂

The lady started a sentence with "unfortunately..." and I cut her straight off that I know they aren't allowed to sell them. Unless a Chinese billionaire with a massive spending history walks past 😁 (I didn't say that bit)

I would think a TT Sub is older wearing than a skydweller in steel or white metal no? Still the sub would suit you well. If the lack of micro adjustment puts you off get the Skydweller on jubilee...that bracelet just disappears and breaths so well. Also the links are so small you can find the perfect fit. Ok the jubilee is a dressy thing but its cannot be beaten for comfort...maybe the presidential but I dont have a lot of wear on that to give a considered opinion.

4.5% in duties and an extra 23% in VAT.

Anyone know what the model number of this GS is?

Google lens is the dogs bollix

Was over in Galway at the Leinster match recently and spotted these in the window of Hartmann’s. Took a pic for a mate who was thinking about buying one. No idea what models they have but nice looking watches in general.

Wasn’t aware they were any ADs in Ireland. Really like the Club Sport 42. They’re a 12 month wait from the site.

Last time I was in Weir’s the sales guy noticed my tangente. Asked me loads of questions, as they were wondering about getting the brand in.

this stuff highlights the spoofers you are dealing with, its no different than any other asset bubble, the lads coming into it and making a big splash are mostly spoofers and charlatans.
