T B Mitchell have an Oris Aquis 43.5mm grey dial reduced from £1900 to £995.

I have a house rule to never buy a watch 'cos it's cheap.

A wise man, or a fool, once said that rules are there to be ignored or interpreted according to the circumstances of the time by any wise man (or was it a fool?)

Anyway I have the one rule and more than one watch which was bought because it was cheap; just saying.

not because it's cheap, More because it's a super watch at a great price. They had one with a recycled dial which didn't appeal but I would buy this instantly if I was after an Aquis, and didn't already have the similar-ish titanium version. (slightly darker dial, but a black bezel insert). Nice pop of red on this as well.

I'm a recent convert to RZE Watches at whose website https://www.rzewatches.com/products/re- ... 5803006243 is a section for "re-verified watches" :

what's a re-verified watch?

"WHAT IS A RE-VERIFIED TIMEPIECE?
After a watch is traded-in, adventure tested by reviewers, or returned, it's inspected by a qualified watchmaker and serviced if necessary. Once we’ve determined it’s adventure ready, a non-fungible token (NFT) is minted to record the model and serial number of the watch and initiate its new warranty period. "

So these are not new watches but hey, my own Endeavour which I'd posted about here other-brands/non-cw-of-the-day-t5973-77 ... E#p1012894 is completely indistinguishable from brand spanky new. There is a saving over brand spankers of about $160, shipping is free but you may have taxes & duty to consider.

TB Mitchell have added a few more Oris to their sale roster. The best offer seems to be a bronze BCPD at 1250 instead of 2050. Also an interesting/ridiculous 4000m blue calibre 400 diver.

Also a half price Tissot sideral in yellow. Unusual, but I imagine it's fun in the way that some CW offerings are fun.

Not sure if this is the best place or not... but Worn and Wound have a giveaway on their Instagram stories (search "wornandwound") for an Elliot Brown Beachmaster. Need to provide an email address and phone number, and agree to receive text marketing.

*Might a "Giveaways/Competitions" thread be a good one to start?*

I received an email this morning from W&W about this, as I'm on their mailing list.

Although I've got a Beachmaster already, no harm in having a second, albeit different version. The NIVO Beachmaster Professional featured in W&W's giveaway is a quartz version, I've got an Automatic.

Email only, is required. Mobile phone, with follow on txt marketing, is optional.

Whilst I'm mostly a Real Ale/Cider and whisky drinker, I do enjoy an occasional "ready made" cocktail.

Just back from my local Sainsbury's and they are selling Tails cocktails at £12 bottle with a "free" cocktail shaker thrown in. Not tried yet, but reviews are good.

^^^^ . . . .but if you've bought a ready mix cocktail, why would you need a Cocktail Shaker?

Put ice in the shaker to chill, shake to get a frothy head (Espresso Martini)

Though I normally just drink from the fridge.
