That’s a new generation bracelet with a taper and a flatter clasp, so one of the best. But none of them are ‘tinny’, they’re just designed to be comfortable instead of heavy. Contrary to popular...

I have actually asked if you could buy a white omiwatari without the bracelet, for less obviously. The answer was no, though they were willing to throw in a leather strap, and suggested the bracelets...
It’s cute but I can’t image pulling off a large all white watch on a white strap. Then again I’m a long way from the target market, they’d much rather I paid a small fortune for the real thing, so I...
Ooh that’s rather pretty…
New Svartpilen 801:

I’ve always felt that wearing vintage or neo-vintage, or anything that’s no longer made and in the shop window basically, creates a bit of distance from the materialism of owning an expensive watch....
Funnily enough as a film maker myself, I could appreciate the brilliantly strong style and art direction, and the thinking behind the story, without actually enjoying watching it. I think the...
Apparently I’m the only one who struggled with Poor Things. It was no doubt brilliant and original film making, great acting, art direction, music, wardrobe, photography, and all the rest of it. But...
I have to agree, many of these ‘one watch for everything always’ suggestions wouldn’t look great when you’re dressing up. I’d want a ‘one watch’ to be good for a party, fancy restaurant, relaxing,...
The new Timex Moon Phase Multi-function made me smile, cheap as chips, along with a salmon dial chronograph and a few others. From across the room after a negroni I’d assume vintage JLC.

Reports from some owners with calipers suggest the current 36 model is around 35.5mm, which is also reported here (though they clearly didn’t measure the 40). There’s a photo on TRF where they manage...
One prediction might be that they very quietly tweak those movements, perhaps mentioning that they are now even more amazing, without changing the number or suggesting there was any need to change...
I had no idea - they successfully put me off by calling it a 40, given that the 39 already wore too large me, I’d forgotten it even existed! So it seems the older 39 was actually 38.3mm and the 40 is...
The trouble is, the Explorer is an odd one out, not too high up in the range, but in danger of upstaging some of their more expensive watches by being cool, understated, and rugged. Perhaps that’s...
Potentially the hottest watch of the year if they did it, but I have a horrible feeling they’d give it polished centre links, instantly blowing its cool.
Exactly - I enjoyed last year’s Oyster Perpetual ‘celebration’ bubble dials and the playful / totally insane jigsaw and emoji gold day dates, without needing to own one. I guess I wouldn’t have...
As a fan of the book and the first one, Dune part 2 definitely hit the spot. Epic film making, particularly in IMAX, though I wouldn’t recommend sitting too close. You can safely ignore Kevin Maher’s...
Perhaps 2024 just feels different. Fancy watches make sense when times are good and life’s a party. I’m not sure anyone’s feeling like that just now. Big and bold watches in particular may seem out...
I used to think Beckham was a terrible brand ambassador as he completely put me off the brand. However with hindsight I realise he and Lady Gaga were doing their job perfectly. It’s as if Rolex were...
Indeed, someone’s feeling provocative!
That said there’s grain truth in it, both Tudor and GS have received a huge amount of attention as brands that were on the move over the last decade or so,...
A strange idea, GS seems to be a very popular brand round here, not far behind Rolex and Omega. Partly because they keep feeding the internet with new ideas and images. How often do you see...
Have to say I’m also struggling with this season, having enjoyed previous ones. A sprawling plot without enough sense of what it’s about, where it might be going or even what genre we’re in. I guess...
A good idea, the minimum on the Rolex 6 side is always a touch long for me. Not unusable but could be better, I might have to try that.*
*EDIT - This post has slightly blown my mind, I’d never...
I wish they’d pick a name.
FWIW I’ve found the final fraction of size adjustment comes from the position of the clasp, as moving it round the bracelet in one direction or the other very slightly changes how it sits against the...
Congratulations on succeeding in photographing it, an almost impossible task I’ve found!
