Wrist check 2021

[Don1]

It's finally here.


With what I was wearing before - my matched pair.

[Don1]

Bizarre and I like it

[Don1]

Happy Phantom Phriday! No? Worth a shot.

Well, another in the potentially useless category. I have worn it clubbing.... These were very rare (500 worlwide) and impossible to get hold of. The only watch in the world never to be faked (apparently), but can you tell me why?

I saw one on c24 last week at £2k. I think that's a bargain as I have never seen another one. Once again you can see wear in the PVD (a B&R weakness?), but I love it.

[Don1]

The answer is black lume. Apparently unable to be made easily and too much effort to figure it out.

[Don1]

What a beautiful piece.

Tudor seems to have come out of the shadows in the last 5 years? I always saw them as Rolex's little brother, but they seem to have made a niche for themselves.

That's a comically small date!

ETA: nice one otherwise!

I didn't even see it until you said something...

Sunny wrist grey sky.

Impressive how they got they eye of Sauron into a watch.

[Don1]

Back to my wedding gift B&R 01-97. My favourite complication is a power reserve.

Moon phase is stunning and congratulations for the AP.

[Don1]

That's an elegant thing.

I fancied a dress watch and considered a Reverso but settled on this:

Very different and interesting. I think I like it.

Anyone know how these are valued on the pre-owned market please?.

Look to be discontinued, nothing on the normal sites.

Ok I’ll play ......

Oooof. C'est bon.

[Don1]

Something different today.

[Don1]

Not seen one of these on here before. An Oakley Time Tank. Big, fashion watch, beloved by a few people, including Chip Foose. Very, very comfortable to wear.

[Don1]

That's very good - I did buy a few from JAYB when he was around. I fear even he would have turned his nose up at this one though.

Definitely a fashion one. Wait until you see another Oakley one I have....

If you didn't catch it first time round this is well worth a read.

That's a good read. I may have a time bomb, and a hallshot.
