Post pics of your watches Part II

I think that this brand, Atelier Wen, might have been mentioned on here previously? I think it was maybe @Thirdfox when discussing Chinese efforts at higher quality watchmaking. Anyway I follow HKed, him of the famous 1963 and Bund homage pieces. He received his long ordered Atelier Wen perception today and it's certainly a very eye-catching piece.

It's an awful lot of watch and of watchmaking nous for €2700. I know there's the "but it's chinesium" worry, but? I honestly reckon I'd rather buy one of these than an Órdain or similar.

You see, I know why it should be. That it's grabbing too many nods from other Brands. I mean the Genta rip off is all on show 😉 but the blue in particular just grabs me. It really is an interesting piece and I'd buy one 2nd hand. There is very likely a big drop on their secondary values.

I think looking at similar microbrands that if I was in the market? I'd consider it. Despite knowing exactly why I shouldn't like it.

I had to give it a good home, thanks @Darwin for the sale!

was very tempted by that... well wear.

Liking the Christopher Ward, they are our competition😁 based just down the road in Maidenhead. Make some nice watches and good value considering there also making an in house movement.

Speaking of in house movements, one of the results on the Witschi time test 😁🇮🇪

Glad it worked for you, dont be afraid to coil them real tight in a narrow container before hitting them with the water. My straps arrived yday also I did it straight away, as you say they're somewhat more supple after and a better fit.

Here's the spb187 on the official blue willard strap, might swap the signed stainless keeper for rubber.

From the same place I got a couple of these awesome ratcheting double push clasps, 20mm adjustment in eight positions. As a non diver I'll use the first and second only but dead useful if you're the type that finds bracelets are loose one part of the day and strangling you later when active.

was out and about today and threw on my PRS200, really love this watch it’s nice and small for everyday wear. Have it since 2010. I drunkenly fell against a wall one night and scraped the bezel at the 30/40 area. Tempted to try polish the scrapes but afraid of ruining the edges of the bezel.

So the package arrives and I open up the box and get a shock and immediately think I have messed up and bought a fake, as at first glance i took it for new. Close up vision is unfortunately a pale reminder of it's former self.

My sparse research only found simmilar ones of late 60's to early seventies vintage, so I intiially thought it was too good to be that sort of vintage.

On removing it from it's box I was actually relieved to find defects using a loupe, the main tell being verdigris on the buckle tang and a scratch on the back casing. Plastic crystal has light scratches that were mostly polished out. The strap has some cracks.

Wind it up and it goes!

31mm in width and 5mm in depth and with the strap it weighs 25g

It was a bit of an impulse buy for myself, but I might see if my daughter wants it.

Anyone know if it can be dated or if anything can be done in terms of TLC for the strap?

I just love the elegant simplicity and the 'nothingness'; no date, no embellishments, no thickness, no weight, no batteries.

Just for fun.

Wearing this in the off today.

Still a firm favourite.

I've learned Digital and I've learned analogue.... Those pesky Japs can get stuffed if I'm learning a whole new way😜

Jk. On a serious note, it's always nice to see something innovative in the UX/Display area even on something as ubiquitous as a wristwatch.

Definitely prefer B.
