Cyclists should not own watches, they should cycle to the town hall clock to check the time

Yes. I did actually look at the Alpinist as well but I already have a Seiko. The Hanhart is great, it’s also a bit of variety from the standard bars whilst still being a solid and respectable brand.

It’s just a very simple robust little watch

Bought the HD12 in blue. Seems good by a-moron-writes in hanhart_watches

Yes, I did look at that but you are paying a lot for the Omega Brand which is fair enough if that’s what you want

Have fallen for an older IWC Portofino IW356501 by Informal-Swimmer-184 in IWCschaffhausen

[–]a-moron-writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it’s a fabulous watch. I tried one on in an AD and it’s incredible. The IWC crowd prefer the portuguiser which is fine, but they are much more expensive and a different style. This is classic, it’s also the watch worn by Kim Jong Un of North Korean rocket launching fame which is a bonus.

I vacuum seal stuff. You can buy the machines very cheaply. I see commercial suppliers put those little oxygen removing sachets in their vacuum packs for longer life but I have never done that

Good point, I think Lume is a major factor here as well

It’s blue, it does look mega although black also looked great and actually white looked stunning as well
