I loved mine!

As for the best manual sports car - Caterham! (I loved the one of those I had too!)

Titanium IWC Aquatimer since 2000. In 2023 it gets handed on to my son!

Now that IS perfect (apart form the price!)

Thanks

The GO I was considering (not buying) was the Senator Observer and the Dornbluth was either the Q-2010 Klassik or 2010 Auf Ab (with the in-house movement) or the 99.1.

If I go for the...

Pool, river or sea:

G-Shock - yes
IWC Aquatimer - yes, I have
Sinn EZM2B - yes, even in the deep end!!

In fairness, I wore them because I didn't trust the lockers. Good wash afterwards and...

I too have one of those. My wrist is about 7 inches, but it seems to fit perfectly. The watch is beautiful to look at and I agree about the character and quality of the finish. It a keeper for me!

IWC Aquatimer - wearing it now!

Fair point. I've never seen one in the flesh, but love the look and idea of it. Having seen a few wrist shots on google images, discrete size it ain't!! My grail unaffordable would still be a Lange...

Apologies for the poor iPad photo, but this is my reverso

I have had one of these for over 10 years and the only way I'll get rid of it will be if I give it to my son on his 21st. It's a keeper until then. Lovely watch

Agree. I can't see the point of expensive ballpoint or rollerballs. The refill is the same as a cheap version. Get a fountain pen - much more special and more appropriate for the occasion. ...

It's probably wrong to lust after inanimate objects, but that is gorgeous!!

I have a Ti Aquatimer (and I have to say that based on the 10 years I've had that, I'm rather impressed but the way IWC do Ti !!)
That said, I'm a sucker for Ti be it watches or bikes!

Good point!

Sadly, looking at that, I have tastes my bank can't live up to!

Really don't like Rolex (bit of an issue here because I have inherited 2 - one each from grandfather and father. I don't think I could ever get rid of them because of the sentimental value, but I...
