    Genuinely, one of the few things I miss from the UK is the Ken Bruce show. That, and Christmas in the winter. On a broader note, the country has gone to the dogs since Terry Wogan died.

    Very nicely said in the OP. My Dad would have been 85 today but passed away in 2012. Great that you have such a useable and quality momento to remember your father by. The impact that they have on...

    The Certina DS Action Day Date might fit the bill. Available for around half of your £1k budget, 80 hours of power reserve, conservative styling, 200 metres of WR. What's not to like?

    Great looking watch, and the size looks pretty much perfect on your wrist. I'd say it was a keeper.
    There sometimes seem to be tiny things that stop us from enjoying a particular design. In your...

    Always been an admirer of the Junghans Max Bill. Well within budget and the Bauhaus style is, in my opinion, very dressy but also useable on a day to day basis.Also hits the nail on the head if you...

    Cheers for that. Just confirms that I really like the watch. At that price though, if I were to consider something in that price bracket, I might just go for a proper Grand Seiko. Still, a lovely...

    Porco Rosso

    Really rather taken with the Seiko Presage Studio Ghibli spring drive with the white dial. Am I right in thinking €5800 is a bit rich though? Or am I guilty of being a tight-fisted Scot?

    An impossible task. There are certainly more than three that I would class as "perfection" in my eyes, many of them already listed. I am personally particularly fond of Ice Cold in Alex, The...

    A very good Australian side and deserved winners on the day. Funny to think that, in some respects, they were fortunate to even be in the semifinal as Ireland nearly did them in the quarters. I...

    An interesting stat indeed. If only it were accurate. The Australia team which won in 1991 beat New Zealand in the semifinal in Dublin before beating England in the final at Twickenham.

    What Greg Chappell did was undoubtedly unsporting, but within the laws of the game at the time. For what it is worth, I believe he paid a fairly heavy price for his mistake.

    Excepting, of course, that it was neither illegal to bowl under arm at the time nor a World Cup match.

    Anyway, we have had a few beers and felt sorry for ourselves. Now we are over it.

    If you are looking for a small diver, you could do worse than looking at the Citizen EP6059. Looks like a ladies version of the BN0150 and Duty Free Island have them in stock for just under £130. I...

    Utterly gutted. I love Paris and Notre-Dame has been an intrinsic part of just about every visit to the city.
    Heard that a firefighter had been injured so obviously hoping that it is not too serious.

    How about a Certina? Swiss made and robust, yet quite conservative styling. At this price point it is probably going to be a quartz, but at least they use the HAQ precidrive movement on a lot of...

    Have a look at the “ Take Time Project” thread. The Seiko being used there seems to be doing a great job.
    Even if you do not fancy the watch, the thread itself is fantastic.

    What an interesting dilemma, if it can be seen as such. A 17 year old in the position to throw £5k on a watch seems initially excessive, and this is then tempered by the sense that they are worried...
