    I'd probably rather they kept the date window... a modern convenience that separates it more from the retro 58s (and the FXD) -- but wouldn't be a...

    For me it's the trend to whinge about movements/the wider 'in-house' obsession.

    'Oh, its £xxxx and 'only' has an ETA movement'.

    Ok, for some manufacturers having an ETA or Sellita or whatever...

    Quite aside from the price, that's absolutely shagged

    At some point you have to face facts and have these things (properly) restored, IMO...

    I wish the Seiko ‘Baby Willard’ and the SLA017 didn’t have that stupid diashield treatment on. Can’t refinish it because it’s a coating, rather than something integral

    Grand Seiko deliberately...

    There’s a black dial one on the way soon (confirmed by IWC boss on instagram)

    Yeah, I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be buying for an investment rn... other than bluechip stuff like Mil-Subs and Paul Newmans, which you both have to be incredibly careful buying, and need a lot...

  10. How do steel and gold bracelets work?

    It was the pins I meant (should have been clearer!)

    If they’re steel, then how do they not wear the central, gold link - given steel’s greater hardness?

    They clearly work, just wonder how

  11. How do steel and gold bracelets work?

    A simple question, asked by a simple man...


    How do you link steel and gold in the same bracelet without there being uneven wear/the steel eroding the softer gold?

    Probably a very obvious...

    That’s not that bad... at a guess, a Sales Corner price would be £8k ish?

    Look at what I've been playing with

    I think a ceramic bezel will look *really* out of place, unfortunately. A retro watch like that begs for aluminium

    Right, I’m sure that crown symbol chart might have been right once upon a time, but the current steel Explorer II has the same, single line marking.

    Highly doubt its two tone, now.

    I stand corrected! Thought they were Twinlock but bigger.

    Does it? Looks dark to me...if it is a two-tone Explorer 2, then I suspect it’d look odd with a gold bezel. More likely a black ceramic bezel with gold numerals, and a gold 24-hr hand replacing the...

    Differentiation between it and the diving models. I believe the GMT is the same?

    It’s bigger than the old ones, though.

    What I’d like:

    - the Daytona to get no bigger

    - the Explorer II to be reduced to the 41mm case, and for it to keep the steel bezel (good differentiation between it & the rest of the steel...

    Yeah as above, not just the 5711 shooting up.

    If I were a betting man, I’d buy a 16528 or two in good nick... you can buy nice ones for late 20s to mid 30s it seems... plain dials, not diamonds.
