    More realistic than unicorns, at any rate. And with the added bonus of a nautical connection. We might even see dials with “feet”, “metres” and “narwhals” to show how waterproof a watch is!

    I’m very tempted too, I really like the bullhead style, although I guess, strictly speaking, with only a single “pusher”/crown, it should perhaps be described as a “unicornhead”.

    I can appreciate that as a timepiece, but it’s not for me. I don’t think I’d go for a chronograph, the less “clutter”, the better (I know I said I like the Tin Tin spe day, but I wouldn’t have one of...

    I do really like some of the Bremont watches, particularly the Martin Baker - BUT, the propeller logo puts me off. I know it’s part of the Bremomt “look”, but it’s the one thing that puts me off...

    £5,000 is the maximum I’d want to spend. Certainly, one of my favourites (the Sinn 857 or 856 UTC are considerably less than that and as you rightly say, that would leave a nice chunk of cash for a...

    Something like that is a definite possibility. I’ve always like the JLC brand, but my initial thought when someone mentions JLC is always the Reverso - which I wouldn’t be averse to either.

    A little bit of everything, but nothing too exotic.

    My most “valuable” watch (to me, it’s sentimental value rather than monetary value) is my late Dad’s 1956 Omega Seamaster.

    Another option, definitely. Although I have to say I prefer the NOS Watchco ones if I’m honest.

    I do like the Mark XVIII (and the previous iterations), in fact I prefer them to the Pilot watches.

    The 2254 is a very good shout, to me, it just looks “right” and the proportions are spot on, I...

    First, the TL;DR version:

    I’ve got a “biggish” birthday in a few months (less than 6) and fancy treating myself to a nice watch, up to a maximum of about £5,000, so I’m looking for some...

    Like I say, I’m still a bit conflicted! I’m also a hypocrite, because I don’t eat anything like a healthy diet and I drink too much booze. A healthier lifestyle would no doubt cost the NHS less in...
