The show was insanely busy. Non stop from 10am till about 5pm only slowing down a little during the last hour. I spoke to about 4-500 people (mostly in groups). Having done shows before, nothing ever...

I'll be exhibiting there - please drop by the stand and say hello! (sorry I don't have any spare tickets though).
New Gym watch... G-Shock x Hodinkee edition

Thought I’d update this post with something I did last year - a special commission for RAF 617 “Dambusters” squadron. Rather than doing the ‘rebadge a retail model’ approach, I devised an exclusive...
If the watch you are buying has an exhibition / glass back, then it’s going to be more pleasing, but if it’s steel back I wouldn’t bother.
regulation / testing the movement is more important, it...
Doesn't make an awful lot of difference.
For watches a carbon based coating applied via PVD process is more to do with decoration than anything else, regardless of what you might read from various...
Got a lot of love for these old models. When one turned up recently on SC I was lucky enough to snap it up (Surprised it didn't go sooner) - thanks @Crouchy!
This newer model is smaller than my...
I always see these in the same light as investing in a classic bit of clothing (ie black peacoat - or Barbour if you’re on SC :-) meaning they’ll be practical / work with any outfit - not age with...
Thanks for your support!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a couple of years ago when you were 'down on your luck' having had to sell all your watches or something, I offered to loan you one from the...
I have had absolutely no problem getting ETA, Sellita etc at all over the past 10 years, and still use 2824-2 movements. I deal with Sellita direct (who are brilliant) but ETA is bought via other...
One for sale here I believe (Ian Walsh / Watches of Lancashire)

I made 70 last year for a special division based there. I didn't see any boat houses when I delivered them.
The main one to go to is EPHJ in Switzerland. But you'll have to wait another year because it was just held in June. It's the ideal place to look around dial, case, components, strap manufacturers...
There are loads of online learning resources, you just need to search and research - and bang your head against a brick wall until you get to where you need to! There's no 'quick' way to do this, for...
I go from sketching to Adobe illustrator in 2d format then over to cinema4d for visualisation.
these basic visuals and 2d sketches are then translated into engineering drawings in solidworks, where...
It's been a while since I last did an update here. Still at it... Just launched these three yesterday. (Pinion Neutron)...
Much kudos going to TZ-UK member Gary (MrSmith) who did these brilliant...
At 16 she’s limited to only 50cc. (125cc at 17).
We went to Ikos Dassia in Corfu last year. Very large hotels, very busy - lots of people. Service is excellent, food is a mixed bag - some good, some not so. rooms are underwhelming certainly not...
Ian Walsh ( google ‘watches of Lancashire’ ) he’s ex.tag and services on their behalf but going direct rather than via LVMH....
Mostly I think Smart watches are crap, and will prefer to use a Casio as the fallback gym type of thing.
However I was intrigued by them, so during the lockdown last year whilst I was bored I got...
Bicester have moved the RL shop now and they only do POLO, and I believe a lot of the products they sell are made specifically for outlet stores ( an former employee told me you can tell by looking...
Any RRL (Double RL) love on the forum? Here's some of mine ( I have probably another 5-6 around somewhere ).
Been wearing RRLs for the best part of 10 years, love the fits and the quality is good...

They're not noticeably heavier at all, just a few grams which the wearer doesn't not notice at all.
Like for like - a 42mm steel cased watch, with steel crown - 76g. Same watch, bronze case,...
