Really? You call this "safe"?!

Sure the styling is a mite derivative - but that's a lose-lose bet...

Anyone who habitually sneers at microbrands should take a close look at the details of this watch - especially things like the multiple, polished facets of the hands and applied indices. That's a...

Patrician choice :encouragement:

Indeed :icon_biggrin:

Possibly true, E&OE, but I will have had to be ritually humiliated by some jumped-up little turd in an off-the-peg designer suit, be kept waiting for an indefinite length of time, tolerate being...

I think it's interesting that many Rolex owners are so incredibly defensive about the brand - after-all, if it is The Greatest, surely that speaks for itself?
In any case, Rolex themselves...

I've just had a gaze into "Mystic Sod's Crystal Ball(ocks)", and predict Bremont will exist as a name only within a larger, Swiss or Chinese based consortium five years from now. Elsewhere, Davide...

The decision-making leading to Bremont's brand-decimation smacks of the sort of cocaine-fuelled egomania that propels the likes of Elon Musk, and when one notes Davide Cerrato's personal "style" ...

Love it :encouragement:

Cheers, the look and the fit could have been made for it TBH :encouragement:

New strap = change of watch...

Wonder how many 'Perfect Straps' for this watch I've posted ITT...?

Anyway...

New in today, a sage green, FKM-rubber, curved-end strap which is marketed for one of the variants of the...

Very much liking Ollech & Wajs new 7753-powered 'Rallychron' - 39mm, and with some great styling cues, a smidge over £2K.
...

Some stunningly lovely watches this week!

...so I must apologise in advance for dragging the thread way down to the level of my £7.28's worth of drunkenly-purchased Skmei -

You're not kidding. I was thinking the handset was particulalrly nicely executed - better than a LOT of much more expensive mainstream brands, but TBF the whole things stands-up to scrutiny. Very...

For god's sake someone buy my bluddy Traser on SC and give my conscience a break, I'm on the sniff again...

Thanks for this - 1966 Kenny Everett nostalgia* trip underway :encouragement:

(*ish... I was 2).

These - along with the overwhelming majority of consumer goods - are coming from one of the least ethical sources possible - the pseudo-communist dictatorship of China. A nation regularly topping...

Seems to work well for Thames Water...

And this latest range of watches appear to be the discharged effluent in this instance...

Tread very warily buying Linn-anything from the last 20 years or so - at some point they changed from linear PSUs to switchmode. Great for efficiency, but many of them have proven unreliable, and...

Immediate improvement :encouragement:

Personally prefer a strap be as short as functionally possible - hate having half a yard of unnecessary strap flapping in the breeze.

Love the look of these.

Unsolicited strap suggestion #2 - were it me I'd go two-part so as not to add any more height to a big watch, and try and match the tone -
...

What a beautiful thing, and finally - contrasting hands! :encouragement:

To hell with its subject, but this is my new favourite thread title! :highly_amused:
