One would imagine that the 1 pm deadline would be there in order to give them time to prep and package the watch for late afternoon dispatch and next working day delivery.

https://www.finewatchclub.co.uk/ This has opened up recently in Norwich, specialising it seems in secondhand and vintage Omega, Rolex and other prestigious makes. I haven’t had chance to go and take a look yet, but will probably do so next week. Meanwhile, I wondered what people made of the website...

An interesting observation above about the Speedy being a momento rather than a practical everyday watch...

Though one perhaps not universally shared. Personally I find the Speedy eminently wearable and practical for day-to-day use.

Interesting question, Patrick, and I guess it comes down to individual taste. There is probably also a consensus that you need to buy the watch as opposed to buying the brand. I had a quartz Omega as practically my only watch for many years, I have a lovely vintage one and of course the Speedy is my...

Mea culpa.

I have a feeling that Neil’s photo might be south of the border. I’ll have a stab at Derwentwater.

I would have loved to see your chart, Guy!

^^^Take that man’s name, corporal!

Chris, I’d be happy with the black or blue bezel as well, though preferring the blue in my case. I’m not sure I could live with that plain smoked dial, though. Might be a deal breaker for me... mind you, we need to dispose of the Dartmouth variant first!

I like that less than the solid dial, because you can see the less interesting side of the movement.

^^^Me too. I just love the dial with the twin flags!

But that is nice, especially the blue bezel version.

There’s nothing like both sets of fans in the same pub before and after a game, and being together in the stands. One of the great things about rugby is that this is possible!!

That’s a gradient profile of the walk-in to Everest Base Camp. Admit it!

Nicer and brighter but I just don’t take to the Dartmouth. I find the dial far too dominated by those huge minute markers.

Don’t talk to me about banter! I will never forget 17th March 1990 when I watched the Grand Slam decider in a room full of Scots!

I was living in Pitlochry at the time. Went to plenty of Murrayfield games in my eight years there, but couldn’t go to that one. Probably a good thing.
