It was a great event. All 350+ watches laid out across 3 or 4 tables. It was lovely to see so many in the flesh all at the same time. There seemed to be most of the core ranges in most colours and on a mix of bracelet / leather / rubber. Someone just ahead of me grabbed the one and only Red One Bel ...

That 6 overlapping with where the 6 on the subdial should be is really neat. Great attention to detail. Farer really are great at making original watches.

Has anyone been to one of these before? I booked on when I saw the email and then realised I have the pleasure of looking after my two kids this weekend (my wife is away). Whilst I'm sure the promise of some ice cream after the appointment would mean they would be ok to be dragged along, I suspect t...

Happy birthday!

I’m saving to add a BC to the collection. This throws a potential spanner in the works, but I suspect the price will be beyond the BC and hence a bit of a stretch.

Great photos @rkovars I always enjoy your updates on this thread.

Just got back from British Watchmakers Day. Another really enjoyable day. The Mission to Maidenhead looked lovely in the flesh, but just not for me.

Post some impressions and real life pictures if they do

Just noticed the screws. They’re much less prominent than the anthropocene. Helped by the colour I expect, and the fact there are only two of them.

As an aside I have been fortunate to have met two of the astronauts who walked on the moon. One was James Irwin (Apollo 15) a long time ago when I was at secondary school and the other was Charlie Duke (Apollo 16 and CapCom for the Apollo 11 moon landing). c790e703-9621-4f94-99e8-1d853d017f36.jpeg ...

Very nice. I think I would have preferred a no date and a skeletonised movement.

Would like to see in the flesh though.
