Well, that's a really nice quiver of watches, I enjoyed looking through them. I Wouldn't want to part with any of them, the JLC Reverso is spectacular. Really like the Oris Big Crown, probably un-patinated for me. And it just has to be the Explorer I, the ultimate one watch collection. You must have...

^^ ^^ KevinB Through my own personal experience of auto's, I find that there's a general behavioural trait as to whether they gain or lose time. A lot has to do with the state of the mainspring. When they are fully wound they release their energy a fraction slower, often resulting in your watch losi...

^^ ^^
Yes, I liked the look of the Marloe, too. Had to do a double take on the Briston Clubmaster, I thought the case was made out of tortoiseshell - cellulose acetate, apparently.

I’ve got a William Wood on order. It has some personal links for me in it’s history, plus I think it looks great. I bought a Timex M79, then returned it because I’ve never had such an uncomfortable bracelet on my wrist. You could see the gaps where it had ripped the hairs from my wrist!! Just goes ...

Like many on here, I keep an eye out in various publications for new watches, watch comparisons and best watches under a certain price etc. So, I was delighted to see a UK brand, that I'm a huge fan of, Elliot Brown, top a list featured in GQ magazine for best watches under £500. Though a smaller br...

Well, I didn't know these even existed, nor do I feel any more enriched for knowing they do. Imo...kind of pointless, or handless even. Call me old fashioned, but I do like to see a minimum of two hands on a watch dial. Don't think I could even accommodate a jumping hour. Analogy: A bike looks and f...

Like the old saying goes, "where there's muck, there's brass, 904L stainless...and gold, no less."

Well, if you're a diver or you spend time in two or more time zones, let that be the determining factor. Other than that, hold on to the one that keeps the best time, and keep an eye out for the cracking crown/wind issue I've read about on here. Hopefully both are free of that.

^^ ^^ At least... 95% of the population have no interest in watches per se. 95% of the population would not consider spending north of £7600 on a watch, whatever the serial No. As an after thought, most of that significant number of people think that the crown is a show on Netflix. A cyclops is a mo...

Err...not for me. It's a Bauhaus diver, or should that be a Bhs diver? Not likely to ever get wet unless it's splashed with Riesling in a very hip, design-led workspace. Sinn and submarine steel, now that's a diver. Helvetica Neue is not a selling point either. Bit of a disaster me thinks. :lol: :lol:

Well...it would have to be the four line of text for me. Nothing is ancillary there and, to me, it is all part of the Sub DNA. The word 'superlative' is...well...superlative. It's as emblematic as the Rolex crown to me. It tells you that you are buying in to a brand that is at the vanguard of watchm...

The answer to that question is a definitive NO, imho. That said, it's a very, very nice dive/everyday-wear piece. I do think it represents a significant bang for your buck.There is a lot of build quality in the watch at that price point. Tudor is really emerging as a brand in its own right, largely ...

As some might know, my recent order included the option to have it engraved. What I found interesting (weird) is when I asked CW's CS what type of font, the size, and position that it would be engraved (and perhaps some images of others), I was simply told that it's a hold font lightly engraved int...

IMG_2080.jpeg This is the only engraved watch I have and it's the Tyneham by Elliot Brown. The black PVD outer ring was blank and Elliot Brown had all the engraving done for me to include the words 'one of a kind', because this watch was built to my spec. They were very careful to use the same font...

You don't want your watch to look like it has just come out of a seedy tattoo parlour down some back alley in the port of Marseille. :lol: :lol: I like that line a lot!!..mind much if I use it?... :lol: That quote wasn't levelled at your watch btw. It was just a general observation. You're more tha...
