Fair enough, I respect your point of view. I grew up in South America and learnt very early on that the only way of not getting robbed is not to have anything worth robbing. I remember news headlines...

I think that’s different. One thing is a watch enthusiast recognising your watch, the other is your watch making you a target for crime. Sure, someone might still mug you for a £750 watch (they might...
Firstly Mick, my condolences about what I’m sure was a very frightening experience.
On the subject of the question posed, if you don’t want to be targeted because of your watch, don’t wear a...
I imagine that if they have their manufacturing cost down (which they probably have for the 4r and 6r movements), it would be much more efficient to churn out 100 movements from a production line...
This is how I feel. It’s nice to have a watch running accurately or a chronometer in the box, knowing the engineering behind it but I rarely wear watches for more than a couple of days before...
It’s funny how different people feel, that wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.
Use code VIP20.
I know it’s not a lot off for Seiko but might be of interest to someone, seems to include some of the latest models.
Don’t I know it!
If you like the Yema Superman (I certainly do), they seem to sell on eBay within your previously stated budget of £300-600.
Not handled one personally but I have been tempted a few times.
I have a skinny just-shy-of-7 inch wrist. Broadly, I feel safe buying Nomos, chronos and 3-handers under 39, divers under 40mm, though some seikos get a pass to 42 as they wear smaller than the...
I sometimes feel like a contrarian but I think it looks infinitely better on the strap. Then again, IMO most watches do. Having said that, I find croc straps a bit naff. I like the pairing you...
For the sake of balance, I really like Cali dials but I don’t like that watch.
Lange do one or two
Saying a g-shock is a great watch for a 17yr old is like saying a JLC master is a great one for a 50yr old.
They’re not all the same, he may not have any use for a big blocky watch that does well...
Unless he’s keen on a pair of size 7/8 Church’s brogues or Redwing boots, you’re asking in the wrong place
That’s pretty outrageous. I remember Damasko had some supply issues too, I presume there’s a common problem, interesting that it’s not something we’ve seen a lot of among Swiss brands (at least I...
That’s a great pick up. Well done. I was a bit cold on it initially but It looks great in your photos
I’m with you. I have a wrist just under 7 inches and I thought the turtle looked ridiculous on me, though the baby turtle is a good...
Genuine best bang for your buck has got to be the turtle / mini turtle, based on size preference. Doesn’t matter which you go for, just a matter of taste.
Given the law of diminishing returns, I...
Some interesting reading on this thread, thanks all.
I had long suspected that one of the problems with marketing the quality of polishing is that the watch’s charm is somewhat lost after a...
It says marine 36 on the caseback
I think it has been discussed before in another thread. If it was me, at that price, I’d try to stretch to a BB58.
Lovely that. I’ve often flirted with picking up a marine 36, they seem to come up used very rarely though and my interest often drifts to something more widely available. Maybe some day…
It’s a no from me
Looks like a gasgasbones strap.
