Whilst watches are a deeply personal thing, a little bit of advice can always help make you...

New or second hand?

Thanks for taking the time to contribute...really appreciate it. Yes a personal thing but sometimes advice can help. I remember when i was buying my speedy I was deciding between that and a rolex,...

Thanks for this. definitely worth a consideration...

They may not even like watches, but they might like something their dad loved and wore as a present to be handed down...I might end up selling them both before then, who knows. I just thought given...

All very good points...thank you - though the Monaco for me has to be a blue dial...

Yeah see - I keep wavering between getting one and then thinking about this...a good point to consider, thank you!

Sorry to hear that!

Thanks - yeah, the more I think about the monaco /...

Yeah, this was the advice someone who is big collector gave me when I was considering buying me speedy - buy a watch that you will enjoy and he was right, I get so much enjoyment out of my speedy...

Yeah, to be honest - they may not want them. But it's just a bit of future planning in case. The Speedy would have been bought 18 months after the first one was born and this one roughly the same...

Thats a fair point, one to ponder, thank you!

Thanks!

Haha, cant say I have paid much attention but will take a look -doesn't surprise me!

This is incredibly detailed, very interesting and very helpful - may just have made up my mind based on this and a few other posts. Thanks for sharing and hopefully one day you can own one...

I did think of another speedy, and do really like the new movement. Also works well as I like them so much and would be identical to the other one, but I do think two speedy's is a wasted opp at this...

Great tip - thank you!

Thanks for this. Not a really fan of El Primero but GS is a good shout.

haha, thanks - its weird to think of anything younger than me as a vintage but thats a fair...

Very true re Seamasters, thank you!

I had thought about the Aqua-Terra skyfall special edition because at least it has the eye piece and strap tool in the box, so would be similar to the...

Thanks - really like the idea of a datejust or oyster perpetual. What do you class as 'neo-vintage'?

Thanks - Pepsi GMT not a bad shout...

Hi Everyone,

I need some advice on a new watch please.

A few years ago, I finally bought one of my dream watches which was an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional. Ref...

What an excellent thread - thanks for starting - I hadn't even considered miltons or blowers...

Anyone use any auctions sites - Fellows is the one I think you can trust the most but interested if...

I've always had a thing for Gulf colours and quite like Tag as a brand. Though for some reason, this combination doesn't just work for me. But life's too short - buy it, as others have said, seems...
