I think Timex have been doing some interesting things of late - the Q reissue, and certainly some of the collabs with Nigel Cabourn, Todd Snyder and others. But this... oof.

It really is. I mean, I can actually distinguish between the hour and minute hands for starters.
TimeFactors is the new Supreme. At this rate there will be bots and people getting paid to queue outside Eddie's!
Take my money.
+1. That looks brilliant.
First rendition looks fantastic.
40mm, 1-12 bezel, no date.
Some designs from that period are timelessly elegant, proof that good design can be as fresh and relevant decades on.
This ain't one of them.
£2,790 (https://www.tudorwatch.com/watches/new-black-bay-gmt/m79830rb-0001)
How about one of these LIPs? Miyota movement, 39mm, just about at budget.

That UG is gorgeous.
Chaps,
May I draw on the worldly expertise of this forum to ask for advice on where to stay in Berlin over the weekend of 24/25 September? Apparently this coincides with the marathon so prices and...
I assume you're referring to the Moma watch? Fully agreed. I'm delighted the lack of water resistance was a deal breaker, as it's saved me from having to saying what a splendid gift it is!
Some good suggestions so far, cheers!
- A Longines (Grande Classique, perhaps) is a good shout - similar style, roughly in the price range.
- Would prefer to keep the choices new rather than...
Gents,
I'd like to draw on the collective brain trust of this forum for advice on a friend's birthday present.
His family have bought him this watch:

I was in Oxford at the weekend and learned that Ducker and Son (6 The Turl) is planning to close.
They've started a 20 percent sale and will be selling off their existing wares over the next few...
Heathrow to Oxford is very convenient by bus - The Airline coach service leaves the airport regularly (every 20-30 minutes during the day) and takes less than 90 minutes. It'll stop at a few places...
I've seen several of the episodes, and must say that I wasn't terribly impressed.
If I had a penny for every time one of the team breathlessly and excitedly says that something "could" or "may"...
I recently ordered a Horween strap from Carl, though it's the two piece CE8 version rather than the NATO.
I'll be happy to share my impressions once I receive it.
Now that is fabulous.
Very cool indeed - there's something to the design that renders it 1960s and yet completely contemporary at the same time.
Gaffe aside, it does raise an interesting question - what watch does the British government gift?
From the picture in the Guardian, it doesn't look like a wristwatch - too big, no visible strap....
Based on this thread it's clear that tweed straps aren't for everyone, but for those inclined I see that Steveostraps is doing a couple Harris Tweed options in 22mm:

Congratulations on the new arrival - great story and a super watch.
Not quite sure how we're defining "best," but I reckon that if we're considering influence and styling as part of the package then perhaps Swatch, Mondaine, and Timex merit representation.
Also,...
On the weekends, the movements shut down and are replaced with a quartz replacement service :-)
