    I'm loving my recent SC purchase and fantastic value for money.

    I do love a Crepas! I've admired these since the early days of the TC1 and the belting TC2.

    At almost 17mm high do you catch it a lot?

    I love the look of the Le Grand.

    Never noticed the height tbh. Now I've said that it's going to be a door frame magnet lol. Sits very comfortably and looks fantastic. Having owned the original O&W I would happily keep this instead.

    Not hard to find on eBay, I bought one last year from citiwide.

    This refers to finding a sumo for £280 - quote function didn't work!

    Yeah, can't comment on any aftersales customer service though.

    They're HK based, but ship to somewhere in the UK, then on to the customer.

    He accepts returns which is a good start. Sometimes you have to accept that, for a much better price, you're going to lose a bit in service. Creation Watches are always the cheapest but their customer service is nil. Mind you, you're unlikely to have an issue with a Seiko but if you do, just send it back within the time specified

    A Revue Thommen 300m diver is a great solid watch, just a tad too big for my 6.5" wrist.

    Swords hands and solid end links, definitely worth a try.

    Kemmner Turtle worth considering.

    Thanks for all the help and suggestions people. I've just bought this Oris Aquis Small Second Date:



    I think this should give me the presence I was looking for, it's my first swiss watch, and a larger step up in quality than I was planning on but I'm very excited.

    Nice Oris

    Congratulations.

    This is too late, but any of the 50 Atmos variants are nice.

    Very nice! Let us know what you think once it's arrived / on the wrist

    After going through a wobbly period of thinking I should be adding a delicate dress watch to my humble collection, I've accepted the fact that chunky divers are my thing, so I should just stick to what I love.
    Last night I dug out my microbrand Maranez Racha, I'd forgotten how much I love wearing it.
    There's something very satisfying about having a big chunk of metal on your wrist.

    It's surpassed all my expectations, ticked all my boxes and couldn't be happier.
