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.

Probably this. And it's also St Patrick's weekend when getting totally hammered is the pattern.
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...
At £3.5k that’s a seriously expensive sub secs hand.
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...
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...
I’ve had at least 5 Aerospace Avantage models, started with a black dial and worked my way through the colour options and now with black again. I changed the batteries on most, possibly all of them...
If you’re already committed to a cordless tool brand that’s the obvious one to consider - I think that Screwfix have the Milwaukee version on a BF offer now. I happened to use a friends one last week...
I now have only Milwaukee ( mostly ‘Fuel’) cordless tools, drills, impact drivers, circular saw ff nailer etc. Previously I had a mix of cordless stuff that included Ryobi and AEG, all brands from...
Mine are a 2013 Mercedes E Class coupe, 36k miles, a 2003 Boxster, 54k miles and a 2012 A3 as a daily hack with towbar. My wife has a 2015 Golf GTD since new with about 37k miles and no intention of...
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...
The OP is Ralph with only 2 posts??
I bought my first Moonwatch, brand new from a 'grey' seller in 2004, for £860. He was Glasgow based and selling on eBay, with a number of Omega Speedmasters and Rolex Submariners. After a bit of...
Years ago, on the advice of my father, I deposited a sizeable lump with an Irish based ‘investment’ company, which shifted its operation to Jersey shortly afterwards. A year later, against his advice...
It’s the best time of year to be buying any convertible so take your time and get the right one. I previously had a MK1 as a summer car, for years, and should have kept it. However I love my ‘03...
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.
My pet hate is 'military' watches that really look like a kid's Timex. I haven't needed numbers on a watch dial since I was about 6 or 7 years old and with few exceptions I thoroughly dislike Arabic...
TMI
B*lls of steel and an attitude to match.
