Re: Non CW of the Day

I’ve brought this away as my only watch for a weeks holiday. However while away I made the mistake of going into a shop and trying on the latest IWC Ingenieur. The black faced version and I found it was almost perfect. I’m now seriously considering selling this, my Seamaster Professional, my Bremont...

@nbg We are now in a place called Hulme end, about 1.5 miles from Hartington where we should have been staying.

Re: Pics from the walkers

Yesterday wasn’t the best start to our holiday. We’d loaded up the car and were due to set off in 10 minutes when the agent called to say our cottage we had booked months ago was cancelled. Thankfully we were able to book another place only a couple of miles away and as compensation we have a much n...

Re: Bezel uses

Today I’ve been out for a long walk in Derbyshire. I’ve not walked the route before but I had a map and set of written directions to follow. At one point I passed through a gate onto a footpath alongside a river and knew I needed to turn off down another path in 1.2 miles. I know my walking pace and...

Re: The Rolex Explorer

Interesting post … The Explorer is my favorite watch and one I enjoy wearing because it is so under the radar. I live in a place where theft is a serious problem and also a place where most of the population have only seen a Rolex on a magazine - The Explorer allows me to wear a Rolex without much ...

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner

Up early, car fully loaded ready to go off on holiday for a week.

10 mins before we’re due to set off the booking company call “Sorry but the cottage you booked has got issues which mean we need to cancel your booming for this week”

Bugger.

Re: New CW Sealander Chronograph

It might be the angle of the photograph but those subdials look in a similar position to the older quartz motorsport chronographs. This might explain why it’s only 11.5mm thin.

Re: Falling out of love

It’s certainly very hit and miss with which member of the CW team you contact. During the latter stages of the FLE I emailed Peter France so as not to bother the FLE team on here. I never had a response from him to any email I sent to him directly.

Is the flyback wording on the dial then not a reference to the movement?

I assumed it was a flyback chronograph, is that not the case?

Re: Porsche Design 911GT3

A friend of mine who has now sadly passed had a 911 GT3 and let me have a drive of it. I didn’t want to go silly but was thinking I was still pushing it until he pulled me over and gave me a talking to. I was changing up the gears too soon and needed to let the revs reach at least 6000 rpm, at which...

Re: What brands are we missing?

Not necessarily brands but more watches.

JLC, we only ever see reversos, what about other watches from this well respected watchmaker.

Similar with Zenith, El Primeros but not much else.

At least we don’t have to look at too many Rolex and Omega seeing as not many forum members bother with these.

Re: missF - March 2024

Excellent collection Lindsey and thanks for sharing the journey with us.

I think I’ve also subscribed to your “main collection plus extras you can swap” idea. My one watch search I don’t think will ever reach the end so congratulations on getting there yourself.
