But (following my ill-fated inspiration to order a Timex based on a photo here, only to be warned it was crap before it had even arrived) I'm going to wait for confirmation from you or the Ferret that they're worth £80 before I take the plunge... Also, who posted the rainbow hour markers version recently? Was that a Photoshop job, or a DIY job, or some special limited edition version? It looked ace! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The straps are shite, the hands mediocre, but overall I absolutely love it. Saying that, I wanted the all black version but couldn't get it so ordered the one Howitzer has thinking it was close enough to keep me happy - but it just wasn't what I wanted, not quite the same design excellence (imo) so it went back and I waited until I managed to get hold of the all black version - which for me is an all time keeper. The rainbow one - I've seen a guy who mods them like that commercially, but I can't recall his name. Edit - @thedialartist on the Gram. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popperini 18,019 Posted April 29, 2020 Ah yeah, cheers Ginge - that's what's different about yours, that it's ALL black. I'd prefer that to the black/grey too. Did you buy from the "official" site, or some place else? It can't be too difficult to open one of these up to paint the hour markers tho...

They go so fast though. The first time, I didn't see the 'in stock' email for about 40 minutes and they'd sold out again by then! So as soon as you get the email, buy it that second! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,304 Posted April 29, 2020 Upskirting the Tudor earlier on today, followed by the PM watch Omega. Took it outside for a wee bit and the blob in the background is Freddy Pheasant, my little buddy. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted April 29, 2020 A little walk around my hood to go to the Post Office since they installed new corner boxes which you can't get anything into (like a watch) thicker than a goddamn micron! The local Socialist Outrage No Food Was Harmed or Grown in Israel Co-op. You can't see, but there is a line that stretches literally around the block to get in even though all the other grocery stores have no line at the moment. I wonder if Liz and Paul here will show me their $4.5M listing while wearing my pandemic sweats and my $10 Kyrgyzstan Nomos? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything is taped off here in order to keep people a proper distance from each other. It's unsustainable long term, but for now people are adhering. It's pretty strange when you're used to cramming into subway cars with all sorts of things jammed into your genitals - come to think of it, I quite miss that! That estate of yours is looking mighty nice right now, you might want to hire snipers lest the plebs, chavs and unwashed masses attempt an escape from London! On a serious note, it is very, very beautiful there, long commute when you were actually commuting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
