They do wear surprisingly small. I also have the 5 (mid size) and the 6X wears about the same because it’s slimmer and has shorter lugs. Didn’t seem much benefit in the 7 at twice the price.
I heard of a case where costs of a home office had been offset against income tax and the tax man took an interest in the capital gain when the house was sold. They judges that a portion of the...
Hi,
I’m not an employment specialist but I’ve been negotiating and managing very high value IT contracts for well over 20 years and have a lot of experience about what to do when things go wrong. ...
Bought a “broken penknife” on eBay for £1. It was a Micra with a snapped blade. I sent it to Whitby with an offer to pay for repair, but it came back by return of post as good as new.

… was FAL 1C on a navy blue Rolls Shadow II spotted on Knightsbridge. It was John Entwhistle’s car (from The Who).
Neon yellow worked.
...at least that’s what the green Aquanaut must be.
Nautilus moon phase is a bit better, as long as it’s not too big.
Started with Skinny Ing 3521, then a 1954 8521 in 18kt yg, finally a Doppel 3713. Their newer watches are just too big for me. The Doppel was the largest production wrist watch in the world when it...
Tudors used to have A Schild movements (my father's one from the 50s does). Tudor had Rolex made (and Rolex branded) cases, but bought the ebauches.
Faced with the same need, I paid £2.5k for a 36mm AP with the 2125 movement. A little more dressy, but a beautiful watch with a fine movement and the convenience of a sapphire crystal.
The discs are attached to the hub, not the spokes - discs won't stress the spokes at all.
...how about a Specialized Roubaix? It's designed to be more comfortable on the rough stuff
You can go anywhere with a steel Rolex, and (sadly) watch forums tend to breed dissatisfaction with what you have when something new and shiny comes along.
Many of my watches have appreciated in...
I replaced the Dynamic many years ago with an IWC 3713 so I shouldn't complain. The Dynamic didn't get much wrist time and has been a safe Queen since then. I'm delighted that it's being worn, it's...
The price tag is an invitation to treat. You made an offer, they accepted, you paid and received the watch in consideration.
If you paid by card, keep an eye on your account, they may try to...
Sold my Omega Dynamic Chronograph to a good friend and colleague. He sits opposite me and wears it every day. It looks GREAT!
Why, oh why did I sell it?
This website has it all onebag.com. I bought the Redoxx Air Boss and have commuted weekly to Paris, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Madrid over the last few years. For the last two years I have been...

He wanted to upgrade to the latest model, but IT wouldn't let him. He asked what would happen if his phone was damaged - they told him he would get a new one.

Worked for a beer importer for a while - the supermarkets require a "best before" date of at least 12 months from delivery, but for some beers the flavour goes off after as little as three months. ...
I went to boarding school - didn't have as much fun as I could, but it did me well. My son wanted to board and is thriving. He was lucky enough to win a place at one of the most competitive schools...
