Non CW of the Day

Quite a few years back, I bought one of these: an Oris Chronoris. This is not my watch of the day though… https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230613/fb5f46f55eaf31b36978bda7150400b7.jpg I really liked the look of it as it reminded me very much of an Omega Memomatic, or at least the cushion case versi...

Impulse...

Impulse bought one of these last week. Lovely watch, but financially inopportune! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230612/1bdcfa8458af382807c48de4c45c1b7c.jpg A lovely watch, I must say! I have a near relative in this porcelain dialled SPB171, but the red XII on yours is an absolute standout and ...

Titanium - myths, legends and facts?

A follow up - I just checked my titanium vs steel Zelos and I’m hard pressed to see much of a difference; although it is there. On the contrary, my titanium Farer compressor is noticeably darker and duller than its otherwise identical stainless stablemates. Edit: My titanium CW C60 Elite GMT is slig...

Re: Titanium - myths, legends and facts?

I’ve owned a couple of dozen titanium watches and many were of the darker and duller variety, including notably, some of the older Omega Seamasters. The current crop of titanium Omegas though, don’t seem to get either darker or duller and in fact it’s difficult to pick the titanium ones from the sta...

Stefs...The exit 2 watch collection

Congratulations Paul on achieving a balance. I’ve also been fairly idle on this and all watch related forums in the last 6-12 months and have consolidated my collection down quite a bit (140ish down to 60ish). I’ve lost the head of steam needed for selling more, as I’m having trouble deciding what g...

Re: Certina

I’ve owned quite a few; build quality and build design have both improved in recent years. They do a lot of quartz models and not so many automatics. They’re decent value at grey market pricing, but I certainly wouldn’t pay full price as their value retention is a bit on the low side, admittedly lik...

Re: Non CW of the Day

Planet Ocean with ceramic dial and bezel. I had previously sold all of my 42mm 8500 Planet Oceans in favour of the older 42mm 2500 models, but the re-jigging of the bracelet end links has made a HUGE difference to how they wear, even though it’s fractionally larger at 43.5mm. Love this one. https://...
