Explorer 1 - now that is absolutely an all rounder and one of my favourite watches. The classic watch, suitable for beach to boardroom, via a mountain hike and nice restaurant.

Please stop posting photographs like that, Neil. I had almost convinced myself I didn't want one.

Sorry about you troubles, but at least you have 5£ left to start the new fund.

I do like a cup-half-full mindset!

Although the CWs probably feel a bit down in the dumps, as they receive minimal wrist time compared with the Tudors.

Horological anthropomorphism, Neil? Dangerous trait, means you're getting fond of them.

I'm assuming that this is a personal view that the C65 leaves the BB dead in the water for you?

Tank Time Tuesday...

You were impressed with it then, Steve? How did you find the CVT gearbox? Well, for all I know Chris there could have been a couple of very small donkeys trundling a wheel under there! However, it seemed happy to run on the flat at low speeds using the battery, the petrol engine kicked in when acce...
