Re: 1 expensive watch or 10 cheap ones

It's nice to have the 'one'.........but it probably won't stop there!! :wink:

The cheap options are all fine, and it's nice to have the various options depending on your mood, but will you still be wishing you'd still got the Sinn??

Decisions decisions :D

Re: Non CW of the Day

Now don't laugh, but this is my usual on court teaching watch as it's light, the digital functions are handy and doesn't matter if it gets bashed :D

Normal watch wearing will resume after work :)

Thanks :D I do like this type of watch and have around seven vintage pieces.............four Tissots with varying Lemania movements, and two with Valjoux 7734's, and then the Cauny like yours with a Landeron :)
