Re: Missing Person Appeal

Hi Steve, I wish you all the luck you need to find your friend, Tony. Fingers crossed he is spotted quickly. I also wanted to point out that the link you quoted doesn't work properly. It takes you to the missingpeople.org.uk site, but not Tony's specific case. It might be worth trying to update that...

Re: USA Tariffs - How CW will handle.

I have to imagine iPhones sold in the US will be subject to tariffs. And no amount of tariff will bring its manufacture back to the US because the workforce to build them really doesn’t exist here. Yes, and that is why Apple's share price has dropped a lot over the last day or so (-9.25% yesterday,...

Re: US tariffs and how they may affect CW

Given the above comments about Swiss tarriffs of 31%, will a US manufacturer importing and using Swiss movements have to pay a tarriff on the movement cost anyway, which will increase the retail price of any watch using such a movement. My understanding is yes. Yes, this is what is expected at the ...

Re: USA Tariffs - How CW will handle.

I'm a little confused as I'm not very familiar with CW's business model, but are the watches not exported from the UK as opposed to Switzerland? Fundamentally, the tariffs are based on the country where the product is made and CW's watches are clearly described as "Swiss Made", so it is t...

Re: USA Tariffs - How CW will handle.

CW pricing is 3x Manufacturing Cost. Unless they change that principle, then prices (before tariffs) won't change. But the tariffs will make the end price for US customers increase substantially. Inevitably, that will result in lower US sales, which will impact CW's overall results, but I don't see ...

@scooter

Yikes! I don't remember having any issues with deer. Maybe there were fewer of them around there 30 years ago?

Re: Post a picture from your latest ride

@scooter No, I didn't do any singing back in those days. I was too busy commuting daily to/from Southampton, driving across Cranborne Chase via Zig Zag Hill. That was fun!

Re: Post a picture from your latest ride

Yesterday was spent on The SuperCub. The 122 mile ride Sherborne Abbey scooter Nearly 30 years ago, I used to live right next to Sherborne Abbey, literally across the lane from it, much closer than your bike is in the picture. It was beautiful, but the bells were deafening! It looks like yet anothe...

Re: Podcast with Mike France…

I listened to this in the car on the way to work this morning. Excellent publicity for CW.

The whole of the Sliced Bread / Dough series is very entertaining and informative - well worth a listen.

Re: Mr. Jones collaboration

I really quite like it. It appeals to me much more than supposedly serious art on watches like the My Dog Sighs stuff.

But I concluded a while back that moonphases aren't for me, so I will save my pennies. It will be interesting to see if there will be other CW x MJW collaborations in the future.

That looks like a fantastic round trip, with a whole range of beautiful sights and scenery, in what looks like perfect weather. Nice one!
