I get the sentiment of zero time. Long time back I took to wearing my watch with the time set wrong. Then, to avoid learning quickly to adjust the watch time to real time, at random times of the day I reset the watch by a random amount. I class it a good experiment to do. Because you still have a wa...

Oooh, yes you have!
It would be 39mm for me but formex seem to be very popular, and for good reason. I think their watches look solid as rocks, with their own style thing going on.

Can’t wait to see wrist shot

I’d sell up and stop buying forever if this were ever to appear. Can’t be a grail if it doesn’t exist so this is just an ice dream

What a great crime escapade!
I love the fact that it was such a low-tech, low-cost, low-on-the-criminal-mastermind-scale affair.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a speedy on a strap before! Looks great

Haha! I work on the principal that I have three Real watches, and ‘several’ others in the box that I pretend don’t belong to me

Very happy birthday!

I completely understand how difficult it is to take responsibility for some length of time before you buy the watch anyway! You’re among friends here

I love the fact that as CW have grown they have established their ‘main lines’ but have always explored their ‘outliers’ too. My two I consider outliers. Perhaps that’s why I love them so much

900 miles??
I’m ignorant of geography and weather patterns but this really makes me stop and think. Definitely puts a scale on this for me...

A brilliant trio
The great thing is, you don’t have to rush this because you have a fairly precise idea of where you want your collection to go. You will add the watches you want even if it takes time. Working on brown straps for now is a brilliant idea

Excellent review - thanks. You really paint a picture for me of what people describe as ‘the package’ when describing a watch. As a thought experiment you could start with a watch. It has the basics of an integrated bracelet design and does those basics well. It is in fact the watchness of watch. Bu...

@tikkathree - brilliant post!

Well, when I read through this thread I thought it was a new thread. How I chuckled when I read the title ‘Must Resist’... ‘Well, it won’t be long til the forum does its job’ I thought... So - almost a year it took! You put up a brave fight as Soporsche said. What took you so long?? :lol: Enjoy this...
