Interesting, does sound like he cobbling watch and strap combinations together. Sure he's referred to this with the Vostok's saying he got straps/bracelets at the office and he put them on a watch to change the look. Mind you, its a nice looking watch, the Type 21 but nothing like a Spitfire...

Me to🤔 watch was ticking away like a good un. So why no chrono function 🤨 strange one. 🤨

Yes, picked up on that, Seiko and Citizen populised them in the 70's. Not a common configuration granted but they're out there even now, with some present day makers doing them. P.s I'm an astronaut today wearing a Speedy pro not a van driver 😉

Love the way they twiddle the 10 o'clock crown like Billy oh, and the "expensive to do 24hr internal bezel" (so they tell us every show) hardly moves a fraction😄 Bring back baby Fields, more fun when he was telling us all about their horological master pieces 😎

Nice bit of detective work😉 I could not find reference to the modern incarnation of Vidar with a quick Google. Guessed it would be another dubious Swiss brand far removed from its origins😄 You do get a golf ball with it lol.

Nice😉 Poljot Fleiger?

Bet they won't honour the guarantees especially up to five years down the line. I've seen people struggling with after sales service on their social media before it's deleted ( same with Gamages). Interesting what the owners will think if they take a £100 watch for a £200 service.🤔 They never...

Excellent post explaining how "Swissness" is added to what is essentially a Chinese watch👍

Brilliant you got a picture of it. Can't make it up, think someone would have noticed lol. 😂

Anyone spot 2 (the luminous part) of the indices had fell off the blue Sputnik watch bought to us by that quality manufacturer, CCCP 😄🤔🤭

Yep heard that, amusing 🤭 bet they'll be having a word with him!😉 Highlights the problem of selling utter **** along with some half decent watches but always claiming they're all of excellent quality and value etc. when we know they're not. 🤫

Yes I heard that and thought the same, what you on with Jim. 😆 Same as they are made near the shore of Lake Geneva. No Jim, nowhere near either now or back in 1743 in as far as I can see on Google maps.

Yes the muppet lost it, One of those strange folks, who take a watch off and leaves it on the side. Not happy as they cost a lot more to replace now😬🤨

Ah the Poljot "Fortis" flieger, nice I had the PVD version till my son lost it😬😪 Yes, noticed that, with the cheaper 2416B movement, as found in real Russian Vostoks, except you only have to pay around a £100 for one🙂

Not uncommon for jumping hands or hands not to line up, on a quality built S&E. 😂🤔

Just as well they have that tough IP plating over their cheap base metal cases lol🤪 Absolutely unbelievable, the way he comes out with all that rubbish he spouts about the watches/brand. 🤔😬

Yes, if I remember rightly, along with the Marathon field watches, they came in a box marked "wrist watch disposable" lol🤔

Yes fare point, they are probably making them look brighter than they would be in reality 😎 I don't currently own any GTLS watches to compare with. I know the vintage ones I have owned like Stocker & Yale were no longer as bright 15 years down the road but it might be an older GTLS technology...

In fairness they are representing how they would appear in complete darkness and the you having fully open pupils ie. you wake up in the middle of the night in compete darkness. Where they are not so clever, is in 1/2 light when the glow is not obvious, unlike regular lume. Thing that is wrong...

I about 20 years of collecting and having an active interest in watches I have engaged a stranger in conversation about their watch maybe 4 or 5 times 🤔🤨 Three I remember being a Seiko "Orange Monster", a Seiko "Pogue" and a Omega "Fat Arrow" I have been collared may be a couple of times. So...
