    Absolutely this. I haven't needed numbers on a watch since early primary school and that was a long time ago. I generally hate Arabic dials with a vengeance and this particular one is worse than most.

    It looks like the BMW possibly hit the pump rather than the Fiat. I can imagine the customer filling the Fiat to be sufficiently startled to swing around with the nozzle spewing petrol over the back...

    I wouldn’t over emphasise the ‘slimmer’ case of the quartz version. I’ve never had a 2264.50 but I have had both the quartz and auto version of the 2531.80, at one stage both versions at the same...

    Great picture of a great watch. I’ve had the auto version for almost 19 years and still love it. I also have the 2531.80, the original, painted dial Bond watch. IMO the nicest watches Omega ever...

    I have a 2254.50 bought here (unused) on the SC in 2005 for £625. We met up, had a chat and I was able to admire Eugene’s new Dreadnought. ...

    I buy watches to wear them, so buying new makes no sense for me, when I can buy a close to mint example at approaching half price. It's been my experience that many watches bought new are seldom...

    Me too, although admittedly one of my three has an original Snoopy dial, just because Watchco were selling them years ago for £80 and it seemed rude not to buy one.

    Many thanks to both.
    The Watch Obsession strap looks like a Hirsch Medici, deployant model, so I think I'll give that a try out.
    The Strap Tailor straps look good too - I hadn't thought about...

    Tudor BB GMT / fitted strap

    I have been searching for a suitable strap as an alternative to the bracelet on my BB GMT. I've tried a couple of regular leather straps and a 2 piece Zulu Sailcloth. Both leave a huge gap that I...

    As an aside, also in 2004, I bought my 2254:50, unworn and only a couple of months old for £620 on this forum. It had languished on the SC for a while and I ended up buying it in a F2F with the...

    Welcome back. For the Aerowatch could I suggest a RIOS1931 Blizzard or Typhoon strap? These IWC style straps will suit perfectly - I have a very similar Tutima and think this is the perfect strap.
