Thanks for all the replies. I've been using Samsung since the S2, now on the S22. I'm happy with it but can't help thinking about swapping to Apple - not for any clear reason, just for a change.
I...

I'm due an upgrade soon & find myself curiously drawn to an iPhone, despite having been an Android user for years.
Has anyone made the change & preferred it (or regretted it)?

I have kept all mine because I am a completionist but there are times when that looks like a better decision than others.
A young lady in the Panerai section of Mappin and Webb at Bluewater told me...

Exactly. When you buy a watch it's usually a significant, non everyday, purchase. It should be an experience. I've been exceptionally lucky that all of my watch buys have cool stories attached. Every...

I can thoroughly recommend the legendary "Mr Joseph" of WoS, Oxford Street. An absolute gentleman and a pleasure to spend time with him, amazing knowledge and experience - made my purchases an...

What is the Italian expertise referred to in the text I wonder?

Eloquently put indeed. Love the image of "904L steel shackles". I've owned 3 Rolexes, I sold my James Cameron that I wasn't wearing, I turned it into a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms & a Panerai Luminor...

A 2254 was my first "proper" watch - I chose it over a Submariner as it was a better deal. I got a 1 year old 2254, B&P from the old Watchfinder for £895.
I've got a quartz CWC as well but it gets...

Superb film but a tough watch. I was 12 when the Solomon Browne was lost, I remember it well. Nigel Brockman's son, left ashore that night, became Coxswain on the new boat. As someone said upthread,...

I had an email from WoS saying Zenith & Hublot prices will be rising on March 1st and Omega on 5th March.

I was told today by a retired police officer that 20% of all police firearms response unit calls in London are in Newham...

She was the inspiration for the Wurzels, "Brand new combine harvester" is based on "Brand new pair of roller skates".

Hi Simon,
I was also warned about the strap issue. I paid no attention, "it'll never happen to me". Less than a week after buying it I bought a new rubber strap yesterday, made plans for another one...

What an absolute beauty! Coincidentally I got my first Panerai last week, it's a J serial 2007 model. It's gorgeous but, while decorated, the movement does not have the Officine Panerai text that...

Thanks guys, some good ideas there.

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much, I'll have a look around. Framed adverts do look good.

Does anyone know if there's a source for Panerai prints / artwork that they'd recommend? I fancy nice print for the wall.
Thanks,

I've heard that this can happen if one is not careful...

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. I'm going into London next week, I'll visit the store and see what takes my fancy. I also quite like the idea of keeping the rubber strap (in the longer length)...

After a fair bit of thought, yesterday I became a Paneristo. I bought a lovely 2007 PAM0111 from Kibble Watches in a very smooth transaction. There's more supporting paperwork than on any new watch...

I really like Not So Obvious Watches / Pete McConvill, he has a good take on things & some interesting analytics. Not seen anything from him for a while but he's had some stuff on Instagram.

I like Adrian Barker, cannot abide the other two. It all seemed to be a sort of Poundland Top Gear effort, lots of shouting and onanistic preening.
Not surprised it's folded.

A good analysis, I like his content in general. These increases can't be sustainable in the long term surely, as a previous poster said, Speedmasters have doubled in 4 years and they're not the only...

Scone - > jam - > cream. The Cornish, and therefore the correct, way. All else is savagery.
