Re: In praise of…… Swatch!

I ordered a bracelet for my Q watch before the pandemic, long story short it took six months to arrive and due to the wait I got it for free! (It only cost £30 mind you - half the cost of one Rolex link)

Re: The Dynamics you have, when you don’t have a Dynamic.

My vintage grail about a decade ago was an Omega dynamic handwind, got a mint one and loved it. Still have it but don't really wear it anymore, just sits in the box like a teddy bear who's kid got too old for it but remembers it fondly.

Re: Bronze - A thread resurrection from 2011

Was doing a little research and came across this thread from 10 years ago. It made for an interesting read given how things have progressed with mainstream brands using Bronze as a case material. Thought I would resurrect as there were some great predictions, misses and science amongst the posts. T...

Re: Enjoyable harmless hobby or expensive addiction?
