I need one of these, where can i get one from, C24?

OK, ETA, they don't exist for sale, anywhere.

Ebay alert it is.

I've taken it to a watch shop I trust in Clerkenwell and they have ordered me the battery I need. The specific mechanism is not mentioned on the case, so the guy had to do some research on exactly which battery. He then needs to program it and has some instructions apparently.

Having it work in a watch that pretty much looks brand new, will be amazing. He was surprised at the price I paid for it, much lower than he thought.

Roll on next Tues/Wed to get it back.

Ah okay, sounds similar to the GMT when I picked mine up to be honest.

There was one there a few weeks ago, sat ready to go with a price on it. Didn't realise these were on a wait list, but looks like you might get lucky if you pop in.

On the other side of the hall you have Bulgari and Chopard... I was having another go with the Alpine Eagle and the Octo. Not decided what to do for my next watch so its helpful having both in the same place!

Bulgari Octo, every day of the week.

Still not decided between them. Have sold down a few in the past month or so, and am warming to a white dial Skydweller, which probably gets the nod next.

The Chopard is amazing, but does a similar job to other watches I love. The Octo in steel might just be the best sports watch ever. Or the worst. I do love it though.

Haha, it's a Seiko 'Think the Earth' WN-1 (northern hemisphere model). WN-2 is for the Southern Hemisphere. I just like quirky stuff sometimes.

The earth apparently turns and you tell the time by the one indicator marker. The instructions are in Japanese, so need to work it out.

It's also quite rare, so wanted something a little different.

Lovely jubbly. I guess just that orange dot goes round once in 24h?

Looks more like a Turtle, or did the SKX used to be that shape?

Seems to fly under radar nicely even in blue!

That’s beautiful.

[Mutton]

As blue seems to be the popular colour today, thought I'd wear this..

[Snubs]

Did someone say blue Friday? Here's something Polish for you:

I really like those and have the GMT Good Planet version which looks almost identical.

It's a proper mans watch, substantial, hard wearing - with the bonus of a George Daniels derived movement. Easily rivals a Rolex for quality.

Agreed, they are very well built. One of the main reasons I bought the version I have is because it is made of high grade Titanium, so although it is a substantial watch it is actually quite light.

Sorry for the late reply - It's a 6309 - 7040.

The current "Turtles" are basically re-editions of these.

My BIL has a similar model. They are incredibly comfortable on the wrist.

I’d love one.

Have a great weekend, all.
