Not sure if Babybel counts as an artisan cheese but that's all I had in to chop onto my cheese omelette!

Meanwhile, keeping spiffing time as expected from a Miyota 9 series auto:

Worn for a bit, on the winder for a bit, still just 3 seconds fast.

HAGD
Babybel as artisan is about as close Trump is to a Peacemaker 🤪

Now, that Sir is stretching the definition of the word "artisan" almost to the extent that some are prepared to stretch "Swiss Made" o_O
 
I think the G shock M5610 is the most sensible of the DW G Shocks. I've got one.. love it.. super light, great module, got to be the ultimate Zombie apocalypse watch with the Casio capacitors legendary life and if you had a couple of spares it would do until your grandson had built a reasonable civilisation on Eigg or whatever island you'd end up on.

I did get to try one of the $4k MRG ones on in the flesh and I absolutely understand why people buy them. When Casio turn on the quality they are as good as anyone out there.. awesomely beautiful watch that is also low key enough to avoid mugging
Edit.. I see @wjwildridge82 is wearing an MR-G today awesome.. what a lovely watch. I never understood why people would spend such on a G shock until.I saw it in the flesh.
 
I've been having some challenges with the accuracy on my Alpinist having recently reclaimed it from Mrs CTAD who has had it for the last 12 months. It's been losing about 5 mins a month and I suspect it's a magnetism issue as I discovered she was sticking it on her radio alarm clock every night. I'm wearing it continuously this week to run it against the atomic clock app and to see if a bit of TLC makes a difference.. it was filthy and I won't even describe the state of the Jubilee as some of you are eating lunch. Let's just say it's in a bag until it goes into my ultrasonic cleaner!
So it's he SPB210J1 again today but rather than the lovely Uncle Seiko Grain of Rice, I'm breaking in this new 20mm poo brown croc with one of those deployment clasps which is half butterfly and which I think are pretty comfortable.

Morning all. This watch makes me happy
I think the T100 silver is the best bang for buck best finished quartz watch out there at the moment. Absolutely gorgeous. I bought one last month paid about £300 including shipping and customs. The polishing is claimed to be from the legendary monks of Grand Seiko on their Zaratsu machines and I'm pretty certain it is as claimed. The dial is extraordinary especially when you consider its solar powered and the indicies sort of float over it giving this depth to the dial.
Bluetooth multi band solar powered perpetual calandet even auto adjusts DST for you.. it's the watch for ADHD person as the hand automatically aligns exactly with the indicies as it ticks you can also micro adjust the date so it's lways central.

Unfortunately I have given mine to Mrs Victim as I had ro rescue my Alpinist which had been in her posession for 12 months and I'm not sure she can be trusted with a clockwork percision instrument....:D
 
Hi Lou.. does that Yem have a 19mm lug? I know some of them have and it's put me off in the past. They do make some lovely remakes of their classic divers and I've always had a soft spot for their Andretti chronograph
Yes, this one has 19mm lug width which can be a bit limiting, but I tend to wear both of my Yemas on 20mm MN straps with no problems. The OE stainless bracelet that came with one of them is very good though.
