So, following my post on Watch Talk, I decided to treat myself. I wanted something different but not ostentatious - which I suppose is subjective. I looked at several, as the dials can be very...
Cheers for the comments, certainly some interesting feedback. It would seem if I do go for one it will be new to reduce risk of parts failing. It’s a shame as the dial really is unlike anything else...
So, I am thinking of buying an Oris Upcycle Aquis 41.5mm and am looking for thoughts & experience of the forum collective. I have been following eBay and complete sets in good condition seem to be...
Haven’t worn this watch in an age - and that’s not right.
So, this one for me today…

Hanhart Fliegerchrono 40mm back in the collection. A welcome return.

I have several that I suspect are singular to the forum, because I’m a weirdo :-)
This one though, I suspect, is the only one like it on the forum.

These are from Nick Mankey Design in California, at least a 12 week lead in time though (these were longer as it was the first time he had used the lume material). These are a limited edition of 250...

TAG Heuer Solargraph with lumed forged carbon bezel and new Nick Mankey lumed strap. Strap is a new concept with flexible lumed silicon that lasts as long as that on...

Pelagos FXD MN on one of Nick Mankey’s new dive straps, truly wild combination - both day and night. I suspect that this (and my other strap on another watch) may...
So, 18 months in and my RS3 8Y had to go. I had always wanted a 5 cylinder Audi and ordered the car on the first day it was possible to do so. Then COVID happened, and then Ukraine, but eventually I...
Wol,
You got me into these straps mate, I have this Nick Mankey on my FXD - you have to select FXD version at check out.
I also have one of the lumed diver straps en route too, these really are (in...

Longines MN on a vintage suede strap for me today, vintage looks with none of the worries.
From personal experience with my Mum dying last year, the stress and heartache often has a physical manifestation on the surviving spouse.
All I can say is please do pass my best on to Eddie for a...
I have a question for the forum fonts of wisdom.
I wonder if anyone can point me towards insurance providers for watches in the case of your existing buildings & contents supplier now refusing to...
Emson Haig became Rolex ADs and opened a ‘flagship’ store near the OP’s neck of the woods in Colchester. They then lost some key staff members and Lakeside struggled thereafter. Ernest Jones were...
Iain is correct, I had a very large flight jacket collection which is now somewhat smaller but, according to the long suffering wife, still not small enough….
I have a collection of Oakley...
Following on from Neil’s post I have noticed that I too have frequented this den for 20 years. Where has that time gone and how much have I spent?
Early on I was a serial flipper but then became...
Absolutely mate, lots of ‘stuff’ that you never knew you needed. Also, the volumes you need to buy are not as great as you might expect.
I have a Pelagos 39mm, I was looking at the LHD and ‘ordinary’ Pelagos. I found that both of these watches sat very high on the wrist.
The thinner Pelagos’ sit much better, but I haven’t tried the...
I would suggest the Eufy range, we have one of there set ups with an indoor camera that pans around (to keep an eye on the dogs while we are out).
No subscriptions required either, unlike some other...

I splashed on a 39mm Pelagos recently, and it really is a cracker - so much more of an everyday wearer than its bigger brother. The sunburst dial and (different) brushed ceramic bezel make...
Oh no, I’ve forgotten my number - said no one ever :-). Why on God’s earth would you even bother?
This, a new arrival today, now on a strap though.

Just noticed this thread, this is one that I suspect I can trump. My RS3 8Y was £760 to insure last year through the AA. My renewal came through in April this year, no claims, no incidents, a year...
Unfortunately my photography skills do not truly convey the quality of case finish, nor the sunburst dial.
