    I bought a gold/steel Daytona in 2006 as my first foray into Rolex ownership. It just wasn't for me ultimately, as I felt it was too conspicuous whenever I wore it, so I sold it around 7 years later,...

    A friend won in the raffle and ordered a couple of days ago. Fortunately, he's in Geneva, so able to collect from the MB&F shop.

    I did a rough calculation. The cost to my friend is 3125CHF, which...

    Ha. ha! Whilst you may be correct, since I have had multiple Bremont. I have an original U2 and had a P-51, both of which are currently aesthetically reproduced in similar guises. I have put my order...

    Since I typed this reply, I had an hour+ chat with a friend of mine, who I met when I bought my first Daytona and number of subsequent watches - Bremont, Rolex, Breitling, etc, etc. I read this...

    I really like the Viper, reading a Hodinkee review of the movement and view it as a fun watch. I'm considering enquiring about it, but weighing up how much wrist time it would get compared to others...

    They didn’t have Moon or Neptune in the main Geneva store on Saturday, but I managed to pick up a Mercury.

    I concur about the staff in the Breitling store. I dealt with Dan, who was very helpful when choosing a strap for my Emergency. Next time it needs a service I’ll take it there, instead of the local...

    The train between Cornavin and the Airport is very quick and a 5 minute walk down to the lake, so you may wish to target a few dealers and see what deal they can offer.

    As said previously,...

    Many years ago I flew from London to Geneva to buy an Orbiter Breitling Emergency. In fairness a friend who lives out there negotiated with the dealer (Kuntz - a name I can't forget). With the cost...

    That looks great. Brilliant movement and I love the ceramic bezel against the black dial. Being left handed too, it has perked my interest.

    I would love to afford a George Daniels watch and suspect that will go for a great deal more than the estimate.

    Thank you. Really enjoyable interview. I aspire to own a Roger Smith, now that George Daniels is no more (so prices have skyrocketed). Not sure I’d ever achieve it though.

    I'd never heard of an Atmos clock before, but now reading about the clever way it operates I'm inclined to save up for one. They actually strike me as quite good value.
