Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

Ahem, thanks Ben.

The 43 is actually really nice and prob better proportioned around the dial tbh, the 45.5 has a bit too much space between hour harkers and the middle of the dial sometimes.. 43 does make the strap look massive though! (It is quite a chunk of a thing to be fair)

The one thing I do like with the seamaster pro 600 is its quite low profile, so sits well with shirt sleeves.. Makes it a great day-to-day watch imho

Clarkson = Railmaster

Hammond = Navitimer

May....at a guess it looked like an old JLC or maybe a memovox or a re-issue memo.

None of them my fancy so wasn't looking that close


More importantly how gay was the shirt Hammond was wearing

Definite closet material that one....

The watch will come on the leather strap pictured below (with red stitching)

Tom, just out of interest is this a Heuer strap or generally available?

[Bootsy]

I got my wonderful Heuer GMT from Thomas and put one of the ATG Vintage straps on - am constantly blown away by the quality of these:

I'd have given you the ATG links - very good straps.

You'll find some cheaper versions on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=r ... m270.l1313

Thanks for confirmation, Jason.

Can't comment on Hammond's shirt, I'm afraid - too busy concentrating on cars & watches.

Edit: Just remembered the entire family openly laughing at May's leather jacket.

[Mike]

very good straps.

ATG it is then, thanks.

You did sensei

Still one of my favourite chrono's of all time.

This one is minty and comes with Omega Bienne warranty.

Can't see it hanging round for long!!!!

Lovely watch Jason, I've also got one but not as minty and find it gets a lot of wrist time.

[964RS]

Cheers Thomas. Was addicted to these at one point. Think this is my 9th.

I've a new old stock one that never gets worn and sits in its box but when you see how good Bienne can make them look after a bit of spa treatment I think the right thing to do is wear them as much as possible!!

Don't think this will be here long to be honest....just uber

[Bootsy]

Case looks superb

I've thought about sending mine back it a Spa treatment but quite like its 'used' patina
