I live in Frankfurt and will be working near Munich from May 12, if that’s any use.
Sorry I can’t do anything sooner than that!

It’s probably been said previously but I absolutely love a dive watch on a leather strap.
I know, I know, and I apologise.
I’ve never had a ‘weak’ cotter pin fail on a bracelet link, but I have had a couple of link screws unwind and nearly lost the watch as a result.
I know which I prefer.

Omega‘s pricing has gone completely mental.
Does anyone buy them at RRP?
I got one of the basic non-hacking Flieger watches in that same £120 deal (was it Secret Sales?)
Anyway it’s rather lovely. I don’t see how you could be disappointed with the Paderborn if that’s...
Thanks all for the ideas and suggestions. Oh, and best of luck Eddie with your health issues going forward.
Can someone suggest a strap for the prs 40 where there isn’t a layer of fabric between the caseback and the wrist?
I am aware of the Nick Mankey Designs straps but they have a 6-month lead time at...
I completely agree re. the Vostoks. I sold mine pretty much straight away, not to make a moral stand or something like that, it was just that they brought me no joy to wear.
€3700 for that, have they been smoking crack?
I’m pleased with my Seiko Samurai on a Crafter Blue rubber strap. It’s a pretty solid band with its own curved form so doesn’t stick to the wrist.

Not bad for £55.

Holy Christ. Over £6k for a Quartz Breitling? Even with the gold and diamonds that seems…punchy.
Anyway, can you steer your fiancée towards a Quartz Longines Conquest? That should come in under a...
Thanks, I’ll give Tempus a shot (badum-tish)
Can anyone recommend someone in the UK who can bead blasted a stainless steel case?
I have a dive watch with shiny sides and a blingy bracelet that I think might be improved with a different,...

Currently in Jerusalem and appear to have brought a WW2 German Luftwaffe watch. Ah well.
And here’s the article minus its paywall:

I’ve just received a similar Airman from k9david of this parish, and very nice it is too! David was a pleasure to deal with and also threw in a book about the Airman.

Looks ok for £37:

I also have a green NATO with the same pinstripe, that’ll go on next.
I hadn’t really bonded with this watch but the strap has given it a new appeal for me anyway.
Snap. If it was the C61 it was also marketed as the W61. Identical watch, but for the ladies.
I felt mine a touch too small so sold it on to a chap at a small profit.

My favourite thus far.
The new NH34?
There’s also a new Miyota GMT movement; I wonder if Eddie can get on the list for that?
