The Black Bay is on Rotation

Some fun with some lighting - giving it a bit of neon cast and warm glow! This is still my favorite piece to roll with - wears fantastic on the wrist and the gilt dial really brings the vintage vibes. I am also a sucker for oversized crowns - put them on all watches I say! 😂

If I guess what make/model that turntable is, will you admit that I’m the neatest dude on WatchCrunch?

Also that’s a bitchin’ BB, but you already know that. 😉

😂 😂 😂 I am here for your guesses and will admit you are that dude if right. Honestly if you get the model right I will be incredibly impressed.

ahh, sorry but good guess as I can see the resemblance with the platter/calibration ring.

It’s a Technics SL-1600MK2… yeah, I know, shameful that I am too lazy to drop the needle myself, 😂

Oh hellllllllll yes.  Not even mad about being wrong. Give me a vintage Technics any day over something new. My setup is all vintage as well.

Sansui SR-636 with a Bang & Olufsen SP12 cartridge. It’s my favorite table I’ve ever owned, and I will never part with it. (Pioneer SX 3700 and Advent Legacy II speakers not pictured.)

That’s fire my friend!! Looks in great shape and that’s a killer combo with that amp/speaker set up.

I absolutely love it. The guy I bought it from services/repairs/restores vintage stereo equipment as a side gig, and anything he’s selling is guaranteed to be in tip top shape. 
 

Getting this setup dialed in was when I was finally able to say “I’m done” in regards to swapping out gear.

Really nice watch and great shot. Very good combination of colours. What are you playing? What is the right music for Black Bay?
