Anyone keen on watches?
I’ve heard good reports on the Ratio, not succumbed yet…
Today another Submariner style Seiko mod with NH35 movement and “Starbucks” style, picked up for only £40 secondhand - probably worth twice that now just for the movement alone - they’ve gone through the roof! Had been thinking of having a go at doing my own build, but that’s a completely new (potentially expensive!) rabbit hole!

Do you have any experience of watchmaking?

Nope, not at all - and a "mod" would really just be putting it together, not actually building the movement or anything - from what I've seen and read, putting the hands on is the hardest part!Wow - that's adventurous of you!

“Suited and booted” in the office today so something a little more formal - the Addiesdive I mentioned before, with a lovely textured “sand dial” and again, Seiko NH35 movement.

I wear this one mostly.
Simple and easy to read. ST3601 mechanical movement in a 44mm case with a Type-A flieger dial. I dismantled it and changed the H/M hands for a set of Sinn-alike hands I got from a chap on Ali. The lume is immense.
I can read it without my reading glasses on.

Ah, that's my kind of watch Roy - I can afford to keep those running

Not normally my sort of watch, Rob, but I like that!
(BTW - did I spot you on a watch forum a while back??? Can't be many people called Filterlab?)
I only have one G-Shock and an analogue Casio - they have just brought out a really cheap analogue I like - will try and find a pic.

Yep indeed. I've been on The Watch Forum and TZUK for many moons - for as long as this place has been around.Not normally my sort of watch, Rob, but I like that!
