    My experience exactly. I’ve also found the handset cost difference can be overcome to a degree as the resale value of iPhones is generally higher than Android. I tend to swap every 3 years although...

    No idea but I admire your logic - I’d assume the same!

    The thing is they were all very similar - I never owned more than a couple at a time, never really lost or made any money flipping them back then, and because they were pretty easy to get there was...

    2024 Tudor Submariner

    I look at Swiss watch watches now the same way I look at eg overpriced coffee - even if I was a millionaire I won’t pay north of £4 for a small cup of water, beans and milk and with my means I won’t...

    With the way this thread has cooled down, I think they’ll be available - and ignored - in AD windows by next month! Amazing how interest in certain brands waxes and wanes

    Pre-Holiday MOT

    My main issue with taking a decent watch like that on holiday isn’t the water resistance, I’m more concerned about whacking it off the side of the pool whilst swimming or messing about tbh! Even a...

    Hmm. Wouldn’t trust a nice watch like that at Timpsons tbh. They’ll probably lever the back off with a big screwdriver first in an effort to change the battery before dropping it into the pressure...

    BB58 GMT looks likely to be a big hit - even though I have large wrists and have no issue with a chunkier watch and case, there’s something just too slabby about the BB Pro and regular BB GMT. I...
