    I give up. Everything seems to have reduced itself to money. That’s not a worthwhile hobby is it? How did we get to this miserable state?

    So, is this a forum for people who love watches, or is this a forum of ‘modern banking’. Not watches, money.

    Worth remembering that. Daytona is one of the most easily buyable. Anyone, anywhere, can buy one, latest version and finish. If you are ready to pay, that’s it. All over. A few minutes on line....

    Fashion………..you know how fickle public tastes are. Do you hear the remarks whispered between people?
    That sounds rude, which I don’t intend. And I avoid all remarks. But opinions can differ sharply....

    A DeVille. My first ever watch, bought in 1965 , paid for by saving every month. Wore one for thirty years. Then the hands fell off, never serviced. Very handsome. Omega made fine watches.

    It never makes sense, it’s not believable. Why would a thief risk a direct confrontation and then be left with a watch (counterfeit) to sell to dodgy people? Far better to steal a wallet….money,...

    That was unexpected. The Rolex dealer gave me a new gold link for an Oyster bracelet , it was a bit tight. Anyway, no charge..,and they cost £500 so that was decent.

    Excellent challenge, and surprisingly difficult to get right. As mentioned, I’d support the early GS ‘grammar’ designs. A style which has remained timeless. The markets don’t welcome really classy,...

    My new watch had a small plastic patch , Dotted with a series of microchips, secured in a quiet way. The dealer left them on the side of the case. But it will peel off.
