He’s home now and we are trying to make things the best for him, but once his quality of life starts to deteriorate we’ll need t...

Re: Mr. Jones collaboration

I always had a soft spot for Mr Jones watches. I liked many of their designs for the fun watches they are and their prices are very reasonable. However they had a stand at the Manchester watch show in November where I was able to handle the watches and try them on. Sadly this has completely put me o...

Re: C65 Dune Aeolian - Shifting Sands

What I can’t tell from the photos is whether the bronze has an ombré type fade on the dial which looks to be absent from the steel versions. Yes, the bronze versions have an Ombre fade, the aim of which is to help the dial blend into the case colouring once it develops a patina and darkens. I think...

Re: C65 Dune Aeolian - Shifting Sands

These are the first watches from CW for a while that I’m intrigued by. The hands look in the photos to have a subtle curve to their profile rather than the sharp crease on the usual trident hands. I had this on my Explorer and loved how they looked. The box crystal gives it some interest as well. I’...

^^^^ Good to hear that little Jimmy is a real person. Someone who exists in the world outside of jokes about the word contagious.

Re: Non CW of the Day

A fairly recent purchase but already like a comfy pair of shoes. For a minute there I thought you were going to say it smells funny and your wife complains about you leaving it lying about. But then you clarified your point after the photo……. :lol: :lol: :lol: Every time I put it on it just blends ...

Re: Non CW of the Day

@Bident thanks for that and taking the time to put together such a detailed reply.

The orange case I had in mind was the black PVD one and it might be time to think about another build.

Re: Non CW of the Day

My latest build: a green Spork. Modeled after the Seiko SRP043K, nicknamed the Spork because it looked like both a diver and a pilot watch (spoon + fork = spork), and some also attribute the nickname to the reference number which has the letters SRP and K, and the number 0.
