I was checking through my papers as someone asked me how old one of my watches was. I was surprised to find I had bought it from new on 7th March 2006. I'd forgotten how long ago that was. So...

All outweighed
An analysis by the Resolution Foundation thinktank on Tuesday showed that only those paid between £27,000 and £59,000 a year would be better off as a result of both the autumn...
The budget has already been leaked to The Guardian. Spoiler alert: 2p off NI with stricter spending to fund it after the next election. I won’t discuss anymore here are is will degrade into party...
Absolutely gorgeous! It’s the only model I’d change my Annual Calendar for.

I wonder if Europe has someone like Stuart Lord? I have Stuart’s number on speed dial but now I live outside UK not sure how useful that is.
Is that the infamous 32xxxx movement issues? Can you elaborate what’s up with yours? If the movement is out of specification Rolex should fix that quite quickly maybe 2-3weeks for a maintenance...
Sony X90L “mini-LED” bought 2 months ago (55” - other sizes available). Very happy. QLED were much more for the same size.
That’s great results. I had a few Omega and they tend to be set to run a little fast a day. The main thing is they ran consistently fast. Not sure they are the most accurate in my collection -...
Have Sony XM4 and now XM5 both excellent and ANC good for blocking out aircraft noise and passengers and machinery. Also have Jabra are good - but Sony sound quality I think is a little better. ...
I’ll chip in - love mine and is part of the “permanent collection”, owned since 2021 (from memory) the combination of Ti and Ti and the domed crystal and solid case back for a thinner watch but with...
I realised I hadn’t worn the 5146 for quite a while as not suited to gardening duties. However it is the weekend so wore it down to the local for café da manhã. I am curious how it handles the...
there are some amazing deals there! Recent OEM prices were bonkers - now 5-6% more so.
I really like

Maybe a black OEM croc (or brown) would suite more? What a lovely Navi though. Don’t make them like that now (sigh).
When I had a SMP quartz many moons ago I can’t remember it not hitting the markers. But it was before I joined TZ so didn’t know about such things.
I have had a number of Omega X-33 and also...

Went to Battersea Power Station for a wonder around with a friend recently. Impressed by the IWC boutique which had I think all their (extensive) range. I really liked these two quite different...
Consider - if you will get better returns on your savings amount or more/less on that amount if you leave it in your pension pots.
Considet pension pots are outside IHT until you reach 75y old....
If you take tax free amount then x3 that amount goes into crystalized funds. Upto 25% of total fund value in which case all the rest is crystallised - taxable at nominal rate. You can take bits out...
If you don't need the cash up front I believe it's more efficient to do the second option, others could comment. Take a monthly or quarterly drawdown amounts with 25% of the amount tax free the...
Patek has announced quite a few for the chop this year. One I wish I had bought not so long ago before the recent crazy prices and I could have bought at retail (actually a $400 discount if I’d...
Tis indeed a zombie resurrection? I did have one for a while but not long enough to comment on reliability or service costs. I think JLC publish their service costs online so you could check there....
