GS 9F GMT again, now with a fresh battery and vacuum test; the most annoying part of the process was getting the bracelet on again! HAGWE!

Bit of a change from the Sinn today. HAGWE!

Aboard Indian Railway’s Shatabdi Express to Kolkata this Friday. HAGWE!

Switched from my GS 9F GMT after over a month to my Sinn 857. HAGWE!

Other than a couple of couple of < Ł50 Casio and Citizen beaters bought relatively recently, the only "nice" watch I've bought new is my Rolex GMT-Master II, which I picked up late 2003, back when...
Now to add https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/screwdriver-sharpener-tool-horotec?code=S44239 to keep them in shape ;)
If I didn't already have a Sinn 857, I'd be very interested in these Laco models. Ceramic bezel is a nice upgrade, I've got a few marks on my Sinn's bezel and it's surprisingly expensive to replace...
Still this one, might be time to mix it up, but it really ticks all the boxes. HAGWE!

The Struthers have moved out of Brum to Leek a little over a year ago: https://www.strutherswatchmakers.co.uk/updates/2024/2/26/workshop-walk-through
And yes, I'm also a Grey NATO listener - a...
Whilst Scurfas and our hosts’ wares are very good products and may fit the bill, I fear they are a victim of their own success and the handful of people behind them work flat-out to satisfy the...
Quite a few GS 9Fs today, and here's another - still wearing the latest addition. HAGWE!

Getting to pick up watches in a showroom is always a challenging one - I'm still surprised about the lack of heft when picking my Snowflake out of the watch box, but once it's been on the wrist a...
I rather like a GMT or 3:

First up: best of luck to Tony, hope all is well.
I thought I'd go for something slightly different than a wrist shot today - testing to check the newest arrival will stand up to what life will...
The blue dial is properly lovely, as with all GS, ever so different depending on the lighting conditions.
The standard 9F86 is officially +/- 10s per year, although every report I’ve seen they do...
I’ve also got a Snowflake and definitely wouldn’t talk anyone out if it.
As usual, Jocke has it nailed with beautiful pictures.
The only minor downsides for me are the lack of lume and...
Funnily enough I did this recently and they referred me to the website to order parts - stores only hold a limited set of spare parts, but I managed to get all the parts I needed sent all the way...
The datasheets I've found suggest that the 396 is actually the high drain version and 397 is low drain, with different internal resistances, but otherwise seem similar enough.
...
Good Lord. That price is completely divorced from reality: what are they smoking?!
I understand a bit of mark-up, but for something as humdrum as a sapphire crystal - part only, no less - that...
A day off work, some tasty Nepali food and the newest arrival for me. HAGWE!

I have a GS Snowflake (no lume) and have just added an SBGN 9F GMT (lumed, still with dauphine hands) to the collection.
Compared with my Nomos Orion (no lume, blued hands) or Accutron (long dead...
Terrible photo of my new arrival, which was also availed me of a chance to have a couple of drinks with a lovely fellow Denizen. HAGWE!

Oooof: so any lost and found parcels now enter the most high-effort part of the country with all the border complexities? Doesn't seem like that arrangement should last.
It's possible to walk into a shop and just buy a watch? Witchcraft!
