Ah interesting. I hadn't thought about the discounts angle.

That's a decent life lesson!

Hi all,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Pelagos, and I'm minded to support an independent AD, but I'm wondering whether there's any merit in spending the money with WoS to contribute to my...

This is probably a good thread to share my excitement about the torque and precision of the 9F seconds hand, right...?

There's definitely a market for these, well, for at least a handful of us.

I'm inclined to agree. These look pretty generic. That said, he has a lot of experience in the low end/bang for buck space, and he makes a good case for the various design choices.

I think that...

I hadn't seen that Reddit thread. Thanks for the link.
I agree, the WR isn't great. Interestingly, though, the IWC site (https://www.iwc.com/en/specials/water-resistant.html) seems to suggest that...

The glass/paper combo dials on these are fascinating. Pleased to see them coming to the UK officially.

Bit of a sleeper release, or perhaps IWC just isn't a particularly well-loved brand nowadays. I've only managed to find a couple of YouTube hands on vids, and no proper reviews. Has anyone here...

They still had one in the window yesterday evening, along with a P39 and a decent spread of Black Bays.

IWC happily sell pilot watches for 5k plus with 6 Bar water resistance.

I think there's a compelling case that if you're immersing a watch designed for the cockpit in water, then you're doing...

I really like the look of this one, which gives me an odd feeling given that it's a TAG...

I agree that the RRP is very steep for a PVD steel watch, no bracelet and what will probably be a base...

Aye, perhaps a tad too far, but you won't see a new quartz watch from Seiko with anything like an 8F in it without the GS brand these days.

Love the 023. Arguably very close to a GS quartz dressed up as a 007...

Oldcoates is a great shout, thanks for that!

I defy you to find a more exciting thread title than that.

I'm spending tomorrow morning in Retford whilst the other half runs a race. I've never been there, and my 8.30 am arrival is probably...

To my eye, it just doesn't look very well designed. Really interesting complications, all the brand heritage that you could ever want, and yet it looks like a Casio.

I'm curious about these deals. Does the watch remain the property of the finance company until it's paid off, or are these just unsecured loans?

I had a meeting with my new boss today, I found myself trying to make out the watch under his shirt cuff. I realised that I was harbouring the notion that identifying the dress watch that this man...

I've just seen the SARD007 on the watch tanaka youtube channel.

Absolutely stunning. I get the point about the dial dimples, but I actually like...

It's unfortunate that JLC's supposedly cutting edge series have just ended up looking like Richard Mille knockoffs.

Thanks for the replies so far. Some really interesting ideas here.

I'm particularly interested in the vintage Seiko quartzes, the (presumably non pie pan, Constellation) and I had totally...

Indeed...

They've apparently turned the house upside down, it's a major source of contention. It may still turn up, but I've been back and forth for months with them and my other half about it....
