I saw the negative of that (black face, white parkings) in a watch shop in Budapest in November. Nearly bought it, as it was 24,000 forint/about £65, but passed in the end. I have too many watches and too few wrists!

Got this the other day for a ridiculously low price. Quite happy as I've been eyeing up the stealth King for over a year now.
Think my G Shock collection is complete.

Waiting for my first microbrand purchase to arrive, the Orion Sylph.

The problem with a solar powered watch in London in winter.

Been on my want list for some time, but finally saved up enough for a Stowa Flieger Klassic with the hand-wound option.

I do like a watch with a load o'lume and that appears to deliver on that score!

It arrived yesterday and have to say the lume made me gasp

Yeah it's a 6900. Need to get some more G-Shocks. I'm thinking of a white one but wondering if I'm too old

I find them the most non-egotistical timepieces out there. utilitarian.

Been looking at this

Nice diving watch, very similar to the one I posted upthread, but Sheffield based maker and half the price...

I have a Samsung smartwatch ... but I'm not happy with it.
The thing is pretty good in many ways but the charger isn't pocket friendly because of its stupid shape and the fitness functions that can't be turned off keep telling me how many miles I've run when I'm driving.
Disappointing

Surely that should be a USP? "Pretend you ran 15 miles today, whilst you tuck into a kebab from a nearby town!"

I'm too honest ... but you're corrupting me

Late night, wine, vintage vibe and Chrono24 meant I woke up with a 1969 Seamaster ordered.

Thankfully, I don't regret it.

I’m staying with my folks in HK and been visiting every fucking watch shop in Mong Kok I can find.

I got this for under 560HKD (£55)
Couldn’t say no.

 

[Virtual Blue]

And this for under £85 (goes for nearly £200 in the UK)

 

[Virtual Blue]

And seriously, these were real!!

Legit.

Was tempted to buy this and resell.
Will get a sports model and do it next time I’m here.
