I’ve lived in one, currently working in the other. Trust me, you’ve been making the right choice.

But there are towers.

Re: RedBar Global event; CWs on show

Hi Lindsey,
I was going to ask for any photos of An0rdain or their other brand, Paulin, if possible. Even though I pulled out of the waitlist for reasons (kind of wish I hadn’t but hey-ho). However, I’ve now seen the Model 3 and would love to know how this looks like in person if possible, please?

Re: POLL: I bought a vintage Yema - will it suck?

Sorry, I voted you’d be underwhelmed! (Though I hope I’m wrong!) Did these originally have see through casebacks? I think I’ve seen one before on a sales website and it was a solid case back…

Re: A growing collection

I'm also a fan of atlases and maps, though have scaled back (read given lots away) recently to declutter. I was wondering where the interest came from... I am at my parents today and can see a bookshelf full of maps (fold out paper and books) and travel books... Ah. I went to a teacher training led ...

Re: FLE 2023 Launch Announcement

Yes, came here to post that I also received that. It was a nice touch. While I - well, as is obvious from this thread, most of us - would have liked to see this earlier this year (I was hoping for my birthday!) my feeling is that I'd rather it's right, and wait, than have a rushed product. That's my...

Re: Happy birthday monkeymax!

Thanks all! It’s a milestone birthday this year and after a wedding, house purchase and a few other ‘life events’ over the last year (which have also meant I’ve not been thinking about watches), and poorly timed price increases, the original special watch purchase may have to wait 5 or 10 years to a...

Re: Dining Recommendations in the Paddington Station area?

Also, for pubs surely you should head to The Mayflower in Rotherhithe after previous threads on here? ;) It’s relatively easy to get to on the tube. Sadly I am engaged elsewhere in london tomorrow night or is show you around!

Re: Dining Recommendations in the Paddington Station area?

Been lurking and just seen this! Disjoin in Kensington is great and a quick ten minute hop on the district line from Paddington. I don’t know many places directly at Paddington to eat but when in West London tend to look around Ealing or Kensington. Lots of options in both and easy to get to. I’m st...

Re: A wonderful resource

Yep, I love the archive too! Biggest reason I use it outside of model search is for the Loupe magazines. In spite of the CW email saying you can download it via their link: Screenshot 2023-01-27 at 16.01.26.png Their license to ISSU doesn't allow download: Screenshot 2023-01-27 at 16.01.40.png So I ...

Re: New SH21 C63 Snow Leopard and BMF for Q2

I instantly thought BMF may be a Bamford collaboration? (CW seem to be into collabs now)

Re: More advice for my Wales Trip!

I'll write a proper reply when I'm in front of a computer again but... Pubs in London? I vaguely recall you getting a suggestion of the Mayflower? :) Though that may be wrong part of London for where you're staying. (I didn't realise you were visiting so don't know much about your plans) Another vot...

Re: Anybody ever downgrade their phone?

I agree 100%. The convenience of a smart phone can’t be denied. Part of my switch is simply the desire for a smaller form factor. This is my main reason for still using what was an old model mid-range phone when I bought it in 2018. My Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (Sony have always had a way with catchy...

I was just sent this article by a colleague too (as I was looking for a childrens clock) and was surprised it hadn't been posted here - then saw this. Believe it or not when I first saw this clock on Amazon, I didn't think it was made by big R! Reading the BBC article does make me think Rolex may ha...
