The older I get, the less interested I am in Rolex et al and the appeal of Seiko and similar priced pieces grows….

Bought my planet ocean back, really missed it when I didn’t have it but strangely haven’t worn it much since… won’t be letting it go again though!

2008 IWC 3538, or 3536?

Love a good 16570, they just feel really special and precise… think the proportions help here.

That’s stunning!

Can I ask, where did you find that lovely strap?

Great to hear! I’ve always had wonderful service from IWC, no questions asked they’re just helpful.

Cracking watch too!

Want!

Hovered over the buy button a few times, love the design and always great to support a UK start up.

Love it! That’s quite a rare watch, resin and yellow 👌

Looking forward to your arrival (hoping it’s a resin!), they’re great fun watches.

Love these. Bought one with my first months pay back in 1995… £195 from HL Browns Sheffield! Still have it and works like a dream, like it so much I bought another from eBay last year…

My original...

Exactly my thoughts.

Bought from local Omega AD early 2018. Think I paid ~£220. Still looks fresh.

Oh my, those 70’s JLC’s.

I’d love to buy a Jaeger but nothing in their current range does it for me.

Hi Joe,

I’ve recently been in a similar situation, and ended up buying another Omega PO rubber strap again. It really suits the watch, and if it last as long is good value.

I swap it for a...

New one is an easier marque to fit on more dials. Never thought about it before but the old script with the new marque (as seen on the bund) is a confused branding technique.

From a business pov, I’m not sure why Rolex don’t share discretionary items. Not doing so only adds to customer dissatisfaction, and let’s face it, getting one in the first place is hardly a great...

Almost double the price of a PO UD!

42 is doable, and with the inner bezel same as my IWC 3538 should be ok. Hmmm…

That looks gorgeous… what diameter is that?

This thread has made me think I’m a bit of a hoarder / like to get my moneys worth from a product…

1995 Tag Heuer F1, bought for £195 with first wage after graduating;
1983 Hitachi hi-fi, bought...

Living in the Peak District… Peak Ales Chatsworth Gold!

HAGWE!

Loved Cracker. Great actor. RIP

What a great read OP, love insights like this. Thanks.

Will still be valuable when most smart watches are lost in drawers never to be worn again!
