It’s not just between gold and platinum that they get us, why does £3k of gold max cost us a £20k premium over steel? It’s just the way it is.

It’s a yea from me, anything that makes a watch more individual is always a plus. I’d have to really like the design though to justify the huge premium. They must have a large number of fans as every...
I’d also recommend Chronohunter, used them a couple of times and they have been very good.
Anyone have experience of Ernest Borel watches in their current Chinese owned guise? I’m being drawn to this, obviously takes inspiration from elsewhere but seems reasonably priced for a Swiss made...
Same here and mine is a similar age. I’ll be fair though, he wasn’t wrong. My playlists now all include songs that I remember him listening to in the car etc and virtually none of the rubbish that I...
Same. Still looks like it was designed by Habitat for the middle aisle of Aldi.
I’ve used Fitzrovia two or three times, they’ve been going several years so not really new entrants. Used to be London based before moving to Hampshire. Been perfect each time.
Looks like the Vanguard case to me but with a different dial.
Edited to add I think it’s a version of the V32 or V35 ladies Vanguard. Either 32mm or 35mm case width.
Next time I’m looking at art and my wife asks “who on earth would buy that?” I have the answer!
In this price range I’d honestly stick to the microbrands. An Eddie is a good shout but there are plenty of others. I’m finding Shoreham’s offerings tempting at the moment, also have a look at the...
It’s been this Sekonda smart watch all week. Seems to do most of what an Apple watch can do, doesn’t need charging every day and only cost £40.

I’ve posted about this before and still feel the same, no matter how much I like the watch I could never pay that amount for that movement, a movement that is a favourite of many of the aliexpress...
It’s this “cheaping out” that got to me. In watches costing this amount, and more, I don’t mind an off the shelf movement, and I’m pretty sure that the makers probably spend more on these movements...
After a few days of the Mr Jones Number Cruncher I’m wearing the other Christmas incoming.

I received an email today from a British maker I’ve always admired announcing a new model. I won’t name them or show the photos as the mail only went to previous buyers in advance of a press release...
Me in a couple of hours. Merry Christmas all.

Yes, I traded it to them. It then sat with them for what seemed like forever, I kept looking at it thinking I’d made a mistake and then it disappeared. It originally came from ashford.com for an...
Love it. Sent me to look at old photos of the one I used to own, only to find this is the one I used to own. Hope it’s treating you well.
It’s this bit that’s most telling for me:
“Prior to 2012, a panel of 30 sports journalists each submitted a list of 10 contenders. From these contenders a shortlist of ten nominees was determined....
1987/88 Division One teams, numbers represent each teams drawn league matches that season.
1. Pick a Lioness.
2. Select other nominees, but make sure they’re not too popular, have not had their best years, or are from obscure sports.
3. Select a WSL match featuring the Lioness to...
A shadow of its former self but watched and voted. For me the winner should have been KJT, battled back from career threatening injuries to win a world title in a multi-discipline solo event.
I find the case strange, how it impacts on a trade union and a shop that doesn’t sell Rolex I don’t know, I can’t imagine that any AD’s would risk their status by backing the union. This will just...
Probably not a discussion for the G&D but no, not at all. Equality means equality for all, it means employing the best person for the job regardless of their race, gender or sexuality, and it means...
I was going to ask for details of the setter as a next step, but I still wouldn’t have got anywhere near that. Thanks anyway, I learnt a few things along the way.
