Re: Oracle Time Best British Watches
Some nice watches in there. Particularly like the modern design aesthetic of the Beaucroft Element. Looks to be a great watch at the price. Did anyone else think that Oracle Time seemed a little peeved CW had used their design language for their LE Shoreline in the latest iteration of the Dune Aeoli...

Re: Late bracelet convert
timepieces_and_bags rkovars Thanks chaps. Like I said, this is my first ever bracelet so it has real novelty appeal. I have no doubts the watch will make it back to the bund, which I also really like. However, unlike the bracelet, the bund doesn’t have QR pins. I don’t want to destroy the inside of...

Late bracelet convert
As the title of this thread suggests, I am late to the bracelet game. I have a small four watch rotation and none of them have ever seen a metal bracelet. It's a fifty-fifty split, with two living on leather and two on rubber. I've always thought of myself as a non bracelet guy; always thought that ...

Re: Schrödinger's Collection: If you don't see it, is it part of your collection?
Schrödinger's collection! now that's an interesting hypothesis. I'm very much enjoying your flurry of watch posts after your lengthy hiatus. As to the watches, I really like them. They're odd, but in a parallel universe kind of way. They're the kind of thing Gerald Genta might have designed had he b...

Re: CWL of the day
Really like that piece. The bronze and blue dial is a perfect marriage. If it's your first bronze watch I'd be curious to hear your thoughts as they develop, along with the patina of course.

Re: If this watch could talk...
Fascinating recounting of the K2 story, Michael. If that watch could talk it truly would have some stories to regale. It's incredible to think watchmakers were capable of making timepieces then that would still fall within COSC spec. I don't think I will be able to contribute to this thread; all I c...

Re: What Is Your Favourite Part Of Your Watch?
Love the metallic silver sunray dial on this. It’s subtle but catches the light beautifully. Really frames the red and black elements.

Re: Incoming(s)...
Three nice watches there, with the first two being a little leftfield. Really like the look of the Kurono, it's an elegant looking piece. Hope they live up to expectations for you.

Re: Full Circle
There's a lesson in there somewhere. The watch universe is conspiring to tell you something, I'm not sure what it is though.

Re: Six Nations 2025
Well, Ireland were backed in a lot of corners to possibly win the last rugby world cup, so consistent had their form been win the run up to it. They tripped up early losing to the AB's. If they somehow were to win this championship they would be the only country to do it three successive times. Fran...

Re: Timex Marlin 40mm Green
exHowfener I don't really put any stock in 'other' people, less so about people being 'sniffy'. I asked questions when I bought the watch and was satisfied with the answers. It's a 9000 series movement and often runs within chronometer spec. Back to the Timex, it's just a watch done well, imo anywa...
