They only do that when they want to tic-tac. No - I even cancelled one sale at the last possible moment of a watch that I sold for £400 used that is now available £300.00 new - I suddenly remembered why I sold it ... I am going down my watch list going 'nope', 'nope' , nope' .... I think part of it is having nowhere to wear them!

Thanks. And the bit I really like ...

Maybe he missed out in the sale!

I appear to have changed into this - I can see the date is not right, but since I had a bit of a surprise to see it on my wrist, I shall let myself off. HAGD

Sunday Newish Watches Since 1990.

While waiting for the temperature to creep up I decided to put this back on the original 23mm bracelet, and it's not bad. A bit stuffy, but better suited than any of the straps I could find to fit this case. The taper helps. And the currant bun has put in a watery appearance - last time I 'waited for the weather to improve' before venturing out it just got worse, and I ended up getting soaked, so nice to see a plan come together this time, for a change.

Have been so close to buying one of these and also the GMT 'Broadstone' I did have an Elliot Brown Holton Professional, but I found the 'special tool' strap changes too pesky (I do like a change of strap) and the bars too close to the case for many of my favourites - even the standard 1.5mm G10 - the Elliot straps were a more flexible 'webbing' material. But ace legibility, I agree. And tough as old boots. -
Morning, Definitely newish, check out the lume! Miyota powered Corgeut. Few bangs, fewer bucks. HAGD

Doesn't luck come into it a bit? My most expensive watch ticks all my boxes and runs 4 secs per day fast, my cheapest auto - Chinese made with Miyota movt. - ticks most of them (in common with my 'best' watch has stainless 40mm case, no crown guard, sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, solid link bracelet, 20mm lugs) and gains 1 or 2 seconds per day (since I regulated it). Under £80.00 I think. Both 3-handers, one fully polished, the other fully brushed, so slightly less bang, but far fewer bucks too! Obviously if you can get a watch that pays you to own it, that means negative buc

So gave my son a couple of options as to which watch he would like as a 'farewell to studies' gift - since his last days at Uni just seem to be blurring into a couple of internships before he looks for a proper job - all his examinations are done already - all a bit Covid weird and no graduation ceremony planned or end of course celebrations - AND the upshot is he did not choose the Citizen GMT Titanium diver, Hooray!!! - but he did choose the Zelos Horizon's Field watch, Boooooo! - the Lunar Frost dial piquing his interest, as he likes a bit of astronomy - I tried to distract him with a bit

Morning, whoever ordered more snow ... YOU'RE FIRED! New heat-sealed 22mm G10 just arrived, took a couple of weeks, brushed hardware looks well with the Titanium case. IMHO HAGD

The new Zenith El Primero - a blatant Rolex copy
Jet Jetski replied to mitadoc's topic in Watch Discussion Forum
These can be had very reasonably, and I have been tempted - I think it is quite cute way the the seconds track graduations are continued across the date gap beside the window. -

Wow, even the hands. I'm waiting for the Corgeut version, it will probably be a mil or so bigger and look a bit better because they will space the sub-dials slightly wider apart. Fingers crossed it will be quartz too. now then .... -
