Thanks, Toshi. That Royal Mail info's very helpful. And your Google skills are much better than mine!

Thanks, Toshi. That Royal Mail info's very helpful. And your Google skills are much better than mine!
Thanks, everyone. I see I'm not alone with Italian post woes post-Brexit.
Yes, I used Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed. I wonder if I can claim any compensation for the lengthy delay?...
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot International Track & Trace postage? I posted a parcel (clothing return) from the UK to Italy a month ago. It arrived in Italy after a couple of days. But the...
I gather CW and Tudor use the same watchcase supplier.
Does anyone make titanium spring bars? I ask because even stainless steel can, eventually, rust if immersed in seawater enough (it's happened to me).
I’m convinced the snobbishness is (has?) fading away. As CW was getting established, snootiness was to be expected. Initially, I was a Christopher Ward sceptic. But CW’s innovation and exceptional...
How about a Jean Rousseau NATO? There are several Cordura colours, plus calf and even alligator (!) NATO straps.

Exactly. I own some watches (from reputable non-Swatch brands) with ETA movements. They include everything from Steinhart to Oris, and I get them serviced every 5-6 years. What do you think their...
That’s an incredible bargain! Both the Pelagos and C60 Elite 1000 were on my titanium diver list, and I found the C60 Elite indeed rivalled the Pelagos for quality. In the metal, the C60 Elite’s case...
The monopoly corporation has won, unfortunately.
Precisely. How many micro-brands had ETA movements? There’s got to be innumerable (non-Swatch) watches with ETA movements – what does their...
Has anyone handled a non-steel (carbon or titanium) Doxa? The titanium models appear rare, and the carbon-cased Doxas seem pricey, so I’m curious what they’re like in reality.
Dave, I may be wrong – it's not unknown! :smile-new:
I looked long and hard at these very watches.
In the eye of this beholder, the black ceramic is one of the most handsome Omega Seamasters. But its ceramic case means, inevitably, that it lacks a...
Subscribed for updates.
Why has Seiko started adding a cyclops to several models? The watches look better without a barnacle on the crystal (who likes a cyclops?).
If it had a Tiffany blue dial, I might have understood the high price :smile-new:
While the Sub had been THE iconic diver, it has – for many of us – tarnished its image. In many people’s eyes, Rolex has, unfortunately, gained negative connotations.
Rolex once had an...
Have I gone mad, or does this Seiko 5 cost £2.3k? Really?

Was Doxa ahead of the turquoise curve? The colour’s on-trend :smile-new:
In what way can’t you get better? I don’t wish to start the usual anti-Rolex stuff but have always preferred the Fifty Fathoms. So, I’m curious why, in your experience, you can’t get better than a...
Yes. It’s high time to leave it behind. And they have a point: you can bag something similar or better for less money.
I think many people already know it, but I’m interested to see a shop openly...
^ this. Less focus on cameras, but more traffic police, would be better.
If I’d spent £6k on Breitling's Avenger Hurricane (it has a breitlight® case), I’d be disappointed by the edges fraying over time!
I recommend Chrontime for refinishing titanium :thumbsup:
They did an excellent job refinishing one of my watches with a complex mixture of brushed and polished titanium. Also, Oris (no stranger...
How scratch resistant are carbon-cased watches? I have seen a few mentioned (e.g., CW's new Colchester) but wondered if they resist scratches better than steel. And do you think Breitlight compares...
I agree on all counts. They approach 45mm in diameter and 15mm tall – doesn’t this sizing rule them out for many potential buyers? Why does Seiko make such a whopper? Despite liking big watches, even...
