I don't own one myself, but I've only heard good things about them. I suspect they're one of the Fullswing type brands, a bit like Deep Blue / Armida / Helson (although it's hard to find out these...
From a practicality perspective I always assumed they exist so that you can tell the date if the hands are covering the date window. Although I guess in this case that's not really much of a benefit...
It's an interesting looking piece, but I'm a little disappointed in what they're doing price-wise these days. Used to be that Nomos was offering up something no other companies were doing - fully...
Are you even allowed not to accept PayPal through eBay?
Depends on the budget really. GO and ALS are the big ones that spring to mind, but for more affordable options what about the Hamilton Jazzmaster Regulator?
...
Yeah, I've seen this too. Pretty interesting, particularly for the interviews with George (his last ever interviews, I believe).
I did wish they'd shown more about the actual watches themselves...
Ah, in response to this watch I see that Archie Luxury is bringing out his own luxury watch too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG0GmkkqG3A&feature=youtu.be
I don't really care for this watch, but I don't have any issues with TGV really. He gets a lot of hate for a variety of reasons, but really he just seems like 90% of watch enthusiasts, he just...

I guess it's probably a bit safer than my strategy of balling up my socks, putting the watch on them and putting this inside yet another sock. But hey, I don't want to have to take a bigger suitcase,...
It's never bothered me. So easy to buff any scratches out that it doesn't really bear thinking about. The thing went up into space on a rocket for petes sake, it can cope with being worn while you...
I backed the Hamtun watch when it launched on Kickstarter. It arrived last week:

So... I might have been able to get away with not paying that £3.55?? Dammit - that's pretty much a whole pint of beer!
I bought a turtle from them back in Feburary. I got the standard tracking number details from DHL, and when I went in to view it I saw there was a charge against it of £3.55. There was no mention of...
That Smiths is nice. I've seen a few Smiths pocketwatches pop up on the bay, so maybe they're worth a punt.
I think I prefer mechanical ones to quartz because if I'm going the whole hog with a...
My watch arm is going to be out of action for a few weeks / month, so I won't be wearing a wristwatch in that time (unless I right-wrist it, which is... weird) so I'm considering scratching the itch...
I just read that Parkhouse (as we know it) is closing and will be opening up again in West Quay under the new name of Laing (who are the parent company of Parkhouse anyway)

Aside from the shonky website they seem legit. They sponsor professional snooker players as I've seen their logo on their shirts on TV. They seem to follow the same approach (and often same pricing)...
Yeah, looks great. It's amazing how that tiny little sliver of colour can really bring everything together.
That's a great offer. Thanks! However I know that Watch Gecko offer full refund if you don't like the item, so I'd probably just try it out that way because it means I could just keep the strap if I...
Thanks. This is exactly the sort of thing that I was wondering about. Having a flappy rubber tail may not be something I would want. I think I'll try out my other natos without folding them back...
Is it the rubber nato ones you have, or just general rubber ones?
I have seen Watch Gecko straps, in particular Bonetto Cinturini ones spoken about favorably on this site, but I've never seen anyone mention their rubber natos before.
I'm tempted to get one for...
Yeah, they're not especially rare. Not common though, but you can always find several for sale whenever you look. Should be able to find a decent one closer to £3k.
And yes, expect to have to get...
