Ouch.

Abandoning the in-house movement too. There's no reason to buy this brand now :(

It's 25 grams of extra quality ;-)

I think these are great watches personally, and great as a 'try before you buy' before you shell out 10k on something they are copying. My main objection is the...

Honestly, time keeping is (at this point) one of the least important roles for a watch for most folks, as everyone has a phone.

I don't have stats to back this up, but it seems to me that rental properties are typically occupied at a higher density than owner-occupied properties, i.e. more people live in the average rental...

I bought a Seamaster GMT 50th Anniversary (2534.50) on the forum over a decade ago - I reasoned that it was rarer and more interesting than the standard 2254. In retrospect, I just like the 'boring'...

Bravo England. Played great today.

I'm now going to spend the next week trying to ignore all the replays, highlights etc. that will inevitably fill my Youtube suggestions...

*sob*

To be fair, I think we went out with our heads held high in the WC this time, which was a refreshing change. I still find it hilarious at some level that we were favourites to beat NZ at a...

Plus a water carrier faffing around DEAD CENTRE in front of the kicker and his eyeline. Ludicrous, obvious gamesmanship and I don't know what the ref was thinking (and I generally hate criticism of...

Thrifty Fathoms is the winner.

Funny thing is that the Cygnets held their value incredibly well, while 4-door AMs from that time can be had for 30k.

Funnily Nomos Club was one of the watches I came up with. Also something second-hand from Formex maybe.

Yeah 'invesment' is definitely the wrong word, but I think (as in the example of the Omega SMP above) 'inflation hedge' might actually have some mileage.

A question for the group - you've got ~1000 to spend on a watch (new or used). What are you buying, and where are you getting it from?

(it struck me today that 1000 gbp/eur would get you something...

Just to circle back on this now that I'm home - I'm not sure exactly what I expected but I was delighted with what I found. I spent time in Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds and they were all very...

This is great stuff folks, many thanks. I didn't know about the Roman fort in Manchester for example, I will absolutely visit that. And ideas that I will not manage this time will be added to the...

Thanks for all the ideas so far folks - as for York, it's definitely on my list but I am saving it for a future trip with my kids.

Duly noted.

Hey folks, I've decided to take a little holiday to the North for 3 days (from Ireland) shortly. I will fly into Manchester early on day 1, and fly out of Leeds late on day 3. I've been to London...

Yeah for sure, but nothing worth buying!

Or to put it perhaps another way, it sucks for buyers and it's ok for sellers?

I bought most of my watches on eBay, but nothing for a long time now. Never sold - it always seemed a much riskier proposition. I probably overpaid for a few things and got a few nice things cheaply,...

I still idly browse eBay now and again for old cameras and watches, but it's becoming an increasingly pointless activity in the last year or two to the point of absolute uselessness now. Almost...

I would be very slow to buy anything based on a computer rendering rather than an actual product photo, but best of luck!

Doubly useful!

That's great!
