A true Charlton fan wants a classic station clock!!

The Seiko Alpinist SPB121. I've fitted a steel jubilee bracelet to mine. The green and gold dial is just sumptuous IMHO.1 -

Any Panerai lovers out there?
I have the Luminor Marina https://www.panerai.com/en/collections/watch-collection/luminor.htmlThe crown has to be on the left though!I was looking at this over the weekend and almost pulled the trigger.
This is on my hit list as well:
This is the last one I bought:
A word of warning though - watch collecting is addictive.4 -
Ooh I do like the Root Beer, if it had a plain bracelet. Not a fan of the rose gold centre links.0

A watch I’m told is favoured by train enthusiasts....

I purchased a Swiss railways watch in Luausanne over 15 years ago, and it's still working brilliantly.

I’ve got a couple of MVMT watches myself. Big fanElthamaddick said:I love a watch, have got a smallish collection - favourite is my Omega.
I love MVMT watches, loads of nice styles1 -
Quick question.
I thought an 'automatic' watch is one that winds itself up because of the arm movement of the wearer, but a 'radio controlled' watch keeps super accurate time via a satellite signal from somewhere.
Does automatic in fact mean radio controlled?
Anybody know?0 - Sponsored links:

An automatic watch is a self-winding mechanical watch. The radio controlled watch receives transmissions from an atomic clock and adjusts itself accordingly. This weather station thingy I have does the latter. The World's most accurate atomic clock is here in the UK. https://www.npl.co.uk/time-frequencyseth plum said:Quick question.

Edited to add: although what do they use to time it? lol1 -
Thanks for that.
I am interested in a watch that keeps absolutely perfect time to the second.
It looks as if even a fine watch like a Rolex can't guarantee doing that unless it's radio controlled.
Are posh watches somehow less posh if they're radio controlled?0 -

This isn't radio controlled but is, it is claimed, accurate to one second per year. https://www.gearpatrol.com/watches/a575949/citizen-caliber-0100-quartz-watch/ By comparison a Rolex is probably around -2/+2 seconds a day.seth plum said:Thanks for that.

What is also clear is that all referees at The Valley have watches running 5 minutes out. How else to explain why we always kick-off late?0 -

That red one is beyond beautiful, take its a limited edition that I'll need to sell my kidneys for?ChicagoAddick said:1 -
The TAG reminds me of a train journey back from Fulham. As the train pulled out of Putney, down the aisle came fellow Scot 'Jimmy.' We hadn't seen each other for a couple of years so he sat down with me and a couple of mates. We passed a few comments on the game and noticed that Jimmy's left arm was quite visible and sporting a large new watch. Eventually, he asked me if I liked his new watch. I said it was smart and that TAG were a good brand. This cheered him up and he asked me if I knew what it was worth. I had an idea but my mate sitting next to me had actually just bought a very similar model and guessed the exact price which impressed Jimmy. He then told us that he hadn't paid that for it. The bloke who lived upstairs from him had been involved in a high profile ram raid on a mainstream jewellers that had made the news the weekend before. The police were on the case and the gang were trying to flog the watches before they were picked up. 'Gary' offered Jimmy a selection of the watches. Jimmy decided he wanted one but told Gary he only had £500. Gary explained that the TAG he fancied was £1400 new and he wanted £700 as he would be doing a bit of bird for it. Jimmy said he didn't have the money but would ask around and see if he could find a buyer. Gary then told him he would give him £200 commission if he could find a buyer, so Jimmy ended up selling the watch to himself the next day for £500 😂.2

I love a good watch, have a rolex date just 1991, year I was born, 2 tags, 1 Hugo boss, 3 armani and two pocket watches, bought myself a nice little watch box to store them in.
Although I've stopped wearing watches since I jumped back on the tools and cannot get used to them again now I'm back in the suits.
