Thanks, but best avoid any Rolexy threads I post in if you don't wish to horribly disillusioned... :chuncky:

That's lovely, like it on a brown leather strap:

Yep, pet hate. Bezels are the part of a watch likeliest to get damaged, yet a number of brands insist on using fragile materials for inserts like anodized or laquered aluminium, not least Seiko* -...

Evidently Squale weather today judging by what's been posted so far. It might be a bit portly, but most envious of SteveDSSD's MM :love_heart:
...

Seems a characteristically irrational bit of decision-making to leave the most vulnerable part of the entire watch untreated - e.g. it's the only hardened part of Sinn U-series divers unless you pay...

Excellent! Platinum-tier Keeper you've got there! :encouragement:

Mine goes as far as vaguely amused tolerance, which can extend to middling enthusiasm if she wants to borrow something, but that's...

Now that really is a result! :occasion14:

I'll keep it brief because this has become tedious for onlookers and is starting to get personal, which certainly hasn't been my intention, as I thought I'd explained.

All I can see here is you...

Looks glorious on the red strap! :love_heart:

At the product-development meeting:

"I know! Let's do a Scarface-worth of gak and design a watch!"

Chorus: "YAAAY! Good Idea!"

{Sound of £50s being rolled, chopping-out, and loud...

I know we live in a post-truth World, and it's become normal for politicians to wilfuly misunderstand people to make some unrelated point that takes the heat off them and their party, but here... Not...

...and once-again Seiko cheaps-out on the bezel insert! A slimmer bezel/wider dial would have been good too. Otherwise some good features, and I like the grey/gold colourway - £1,500 though!

I always thought that venture capital tended to focus on relatively safe bets - no matter how weak the business, there would at least be solid material assets to strip - but here the main assets seem...

'Great White' owners are going to have their work cut out!

FWVLIW, I think you're wrong on every point.

First you ignore that aside from smartwatches, Rolex make and sell more watches than anyone else - they are a definitively mass-market product.
...

That newer clasp does indeed look a big step in the right direction :encouragement:

The ongoing (and widespread across all brands, admittedly) lack of on-the-fly micro-adjustent remains a sore...

I've been disappointed in every single Seiko I've owned and handled, more so now they've doubled their prices, then doubled them again.

This is rather growing on me. It's hard to tell how well...

Agree on all points - this:

Cost £90 or so brand new (with discounts!), and has lost one second in every two days since it arrived...

It's already beginning to grow on me - wears really well, and love the hugely functional no-nonsense design - I'm a sucker for a nice deep rehaut, too...

I'll see if the local muntjacs will oblige...

Betimes... :listening_headphone

Magnificent toadage!

Cool - that's a great result. Admittedly I haven't tried the latest version of the larger clasp.

I do like these watches on a red strap -

It may be that the springbar ends are a bit too fat to locate fully into the holes in the lugs, and so are not quite engaging.

I've encountered this sort of thing once before, and swapped the...

Just arrived - Squale 1521 50 Atmos Professional. It's certainly had a hard life and some bodging, but seems in perfect working order:

Followed by Bredundancies, and then Breceivership...?


Funny how everything prefaced by "Bre-" turns to s***.
