    WRUW : 16th Jan -> 22nd Jan

    Its a DW-9000XS-9T, 25 quid off ebay last August and needing a new battery. A CR-2016 later and here it is. One of my favourites. It's yellowed, lost a decorative pin, the lettering is worn but it does its job unobtrusively and well. It's a watch I wear when I'm not sure whether I will be...

    WRUW : 16th Jan -> 22nd Jan

    Ah yes, back in the day ... Anyroadup today I am wearing another yellowed jelly, nothing spectacular but a simple watch with an easy to read face: The picture is of the sun from Carl Sagan's book "Cosmos" which I was delighted to grab today for 50 pence from a local charity shop.

    Coherent words fail me, expletives flow freely :dejection: Where do we start? The printed hands whose pivot point isn't in the centre of the dial? Tough solar with a completely white face? The LED frontlight? Hands and digital times in no form of sync whatsoever? The depressing thing is that...

    Watchuseek: FS: Rare Casio G-Shock DW-9200K ICERC - UK

    UK seller, decent price (£70 posted UK), good condition. Interesting to see another one of the watches I bought for sale, maybe not quite so rare after all. I know there was some NOS around two or three years ago...

    What is your ideal G-Shock (and does it exist!)

    I am with you on auto EL - nice and bright like a DW-6600 Solar / atomic LOUD alarm Simple displays - use a full colour mobile phone type display - OLED? then you could have time/day date/alarm/timer/chrono functions for timekeeping and ABC, tide graph (useful to me) and moon phase indication...

    I saw these via watchrecon, bought them while in Costa the other Saturday. Damn technology, damn smartphones. If we were still in the era of classified advertising in the backs of newspapers or in the Exchange and Mart nothing would happen at today's accelerated pace :( (Bought a couple of...

    Not wearing as such but these watches were hinted at on this thread so I will continue here ... Having recently bought a pair of Froggies I decided I liked titanium and I liked screwbacks. So I got these: Clear resin unfortunately yellowing. The strap is printed so not sure if there is...

Spent the morning zipping round London sorting out the last few stations from the "East Angular" franchise. Pleasantly surprised at how good the connections were - lot quicker than...

    I am wearing the S&M special as I type. In its favour it has a strong hour signal. I will probably pull it apart and see what makes it tick as it were and possibly use it as a modding practice piece. If nothing else I have an overpriced 2 hole strap. I wonder if the module will fit in my fake...

    Been up country for the last couple of days giving East Anglia a good check over. Ended up in Colchester last night, quite a pleasant hotel - lot more character than a Premier Inn.
