    In the case of a GLB I would drive the diesel and the petrol and decide which you prefer.

    My wife has a 2022 petrol GLC and the engine in that is nothing special to be honest and certainly the...

    Ah, I wasn't very clear. I am slimming down my collection because I just don't wear my vintage watches anymore and I am letting the ones that aren't working go first. There's no benefit to me...

    Late 60s Rolex Date in 14k

    I found the "all gold" look a bit much so I've put it on a strap and sourced a buckle from my AD.

    I like a silver dial too and this was how I bought my Rolex Datejust (16220) back in 2016.

    1971 Bell-Matic that I've had for the last 15 years or so. Thinning out the collection though so this one will be out the door shortly.

    Thank you.

    The Seamaster is a manual wind Cosmic from 1966 or thereabouts and was my first proper watch back in May 2004. I went vintage as I couldn't afford a modern Seamaster at the time.

    I own a Farer Frobisher II and I've been very happy with it. It's a quartz and I bought it so I always had a watch that was showing the correct time no matter how long it had been off the wrist.

    Thanks, and yes for sure. I bought it in 2013 and it's never been serviced in my ownership so it's certainly due.

    I was just curious how it might have failed while "out of circulation". Had it...

    Another vote for a Rolex. Here's my 1503 Date from the late 60s and still "relatively" affordable even though it's on a bracelet.

    Thanks, I really like it too. The lack of a quickset date is a bit of a nuisance as it's not a daily wearer, but other than that it's a great addition to the collection.

    Rolex 14k/18k Bracelet Identification

    I recently received this, a late 60s Rolex Date in 14k with the Shantung dial. It did belong to my wife's father and he's decided he no longer wants to wear it, so it has come to me.

    I've just spotted that it's not for my watch but seems to be for a BLRO instead.
