To add some balance to this thread, I’m happy the owners seem to all love these, and I’m all for something different. However, I’ve only ever seen an ugly unreadable watch when I’ve seen pictures of...
My experience exactly. I’ve also found the handset cost difference can be overcome to a degree as the resale value of iPhones is generally higher than Android. I tend to swap every 3 years although...
No idea but I admire your logic - I’d assume the same!
Just finished the second episode and quite enjoying it.
Motion sickness (which I never get in real life!) when playing first person games has killed my interest in them for the last 30 years so no...
If I owned a current Bremont -
one of the nicer old ones with the knurled central case - I’d be worried about parts availability going forward. I suspect that supporting their old models might be...
The thing is they were all very similar - I never owned more than a couple at a time, never really lost or made any money flipping them back then, and because they were pretty easy to get there was...
I’d say my current BB58 definitely feels better made than my first 5513 and later 14060M. The bracelet is much better quality and the finishing and detailing seem higher. For instance I tried...
I look at Swiss watch watches now the same way I look at eg overpriced coffee - even if I was a millionaire I won’t pay north of £4 for a small cup of water, beans and milk and with my means I won’t...
With the way this thread has cooled down, I think they’ll be available - and ignored - in AD windows by next month! Amazing how interest in certain brands waxes and wanes
My main issue with taking a decent watch like that on holiday isn’t the water resistance, I’m more concerned about whacking it off the side of the pool whilst swimming or messing about tbh! Even a...
BB Pro with a slimmer 39mm case is giving me impure thoughts!
Rather perversely the new Bremont models and logo give me strong Christopher Ward vibes of old - whilst the new Christopher Ward logo and models have found an identity and are going a bit Bremont...
Ok I was being deliberately facetious. It’s a shoe menders with a bell jar in the back and watches are expensive. The story about my father’s watch is true.
Hmm. Wouldn’t trust a nice watch like that at Timpsons tbh. They’ll probably lever the back off with a big screwdriver first in an effort to change the battery before dropping it into the pressure...
BB58 GMT looks likely to be a big hit - even though I have large wrists and have no issue with a chunkier watch and case, there’s something just too slabby about the BB Pro and regular BB GMT. I...
I was in Norwich a couple of weeks ago and they had nearly every model of Tudor on display for sale in the AD window - so if they do release something interesting there’s a chance you might even be...
I moved away nearly a decade ago and apart from the odd Christmas Day trip to see family I’ve not been back. Don’t miss it at all I’m afraid - came to the conclusion I don’t enjoy crowded spaces,...
That may be true for the usual hairlines and tiny dings. What about a more serious gouge? It’s my understanding you’re stuck with it? - tbh it wouldn’t stop me buying a Ti watch (actually I’m...
Isn’t the (potential) issue that they can’t be refinished like steel - or that Tudor won’t refinish them?
I enjoyed it - as others have said very predictable and a bit silly as you expect with a Guy Ritchie film. Didn’t find the acting in any way sub-par, and the caricatures are exactly that -...
Rightly or wrongly, imho we are so far down the line with EV design and production and charger installation that it seems massively unlikely that Hydrogen or any other alternative will replace...
Truth is I’ve been suffering from a bad back for a few months - so the Born has been much easier without the hard suspension and all the leg/foot movement changing gear in the Fiesta. The Ford...
Life’s too short to be close-minded imho!! - don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I put away the mechanical watches and slip on a cheeky quartz! And as I type this I’m wearing a positively filthy, pervy...
I’ve noticed this with people stepping in front of me in car parks - I asked my wife to reverse the car on the drive as I was not sure the car was making the ‘whirring noise’ it’s supposed to at low...
One of the unexpected benefits of EV ownership has been the clueless and often hilarious questions I’ve been asked by friends, family and colleagues.
I’ve got used to driving the 15 miles to work...
