Last time I went a few weeks ago it wasn’t branded Tudor but there was a lot of Tudor in the windows so not surprised. The BB36 is one I’m eyeing up for next big purchase.

Tissot courtier powermatic 80 does a day date with full day along the top - https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-gb/t0354071105101.html
The Hamiltons already mentioned probably as good as anything...
Would tend to agree. For me two (maybe two plus a workout/gardening/50 quid beater) seems enough - one for the office and one for the weekend. But I’d get bored and buy another of each of those. I’ve...
On this, are these both the same dial size? What’s the lug to lug? Looks to me like the one on the right has more lug either side of the dial (so is it that the dial is smaller on that one, or that...
Tissot visodate heritage - quite a variety of dial/strap options. I’ve got the white dial on mesh bracelet. Automatic with a display case back - nice for a bday present. And the display box is also...
Went between lockdowns last summer - actually thought the lower end high street places had decent stuff in them comparatively. I think the Goldsmiths had the fairly new at that point Tudor BB I spent...
I quite like it. Wouldn’t wear it - too tooly for me, but if I was a more active person I’d definitely see myself wearing that.
But would agree re the bezel - the fact it probably is a more...
Black dial one in particular is great on that strap. Did you put that on yourself or is it a stock Certina bracelet?
I’m not sure I would ever have noticed that had you not mentioned it, but how you have I’ll probably never un-see it. A bit strange! Really like the black dial version but small things like that...
Same as op for me - used to go fairly regularly, stuck with home weights and occasional jog for the last year or so and started to get into dad bod territory! So, looking forward to getting back.

Like the analogy to shoes and I think it’s a good way of looking at things. I think “3 and g” probably does cover the bases. I have a version of “4 and a g” - one special occasion watch, one...
The piece of paper is the reason I haven’t ever gone for the lifetime service - I usually can’t find my car keys never mind a random scrap of paper from five years ago!
Only ever taken my fairly...
Thanks. I’ve been eyeing up the (non-gmt) vhp for a while as my next purchase so you’ve told me about this at a good time! Personally really like the look of these, a good everyday look, which for a...
That’s very cool. So you set it via your phone for, say, uk time and India time (5.5 ahead I believe) and then just literally click the crown to change time zone? Does it then stay linked to your...
Like that - hadn’t seen it. Like it on your strap more than the brown leather on their website. Olive green dial and I’d have pulled the trigger already!
What I’ve always thought would be great is something with an internal rotating bezel and an external click bezel - with one of the bezels as minutes and the other as hours. That way you wouldn’t even...
You’ll struggle for a sensibly priced mechanical that can do half hours properly. I settled for a mixed analogue and digital - digital telling the time in India and analogue the time here.
I’ve only got five in the collection so I guess by default they must be both top and bottom!
Price to value - I think they’re pretty good. The Max Bill at under 1k ive been tempted to pull the trigger a couple of times, but always just wondered where I’d wear it - if I needed a new dressier...
Think I prefer the blue dial - really like it. The black looks a bit plain. Lots going on - blue textured dial, yellow hands, white markers, black sub dials, silver case, brown strap on the pics too...
In terms of number of watches - pretty much even bracelet, metal mesh, leather, rubber. No nato straps though.
In terms of wearing time - mostly rubber for the last year (wfh due to covid, metal...
4 brands for me across 4 watches.
I quite like the idea of having a core “wearers” collection of various brands that I actually wear, plus then a little sub-collection of something like second...
I used them this week with DHL (a return of one of the other half’s handbags - which is worth more than any watch I own!). As above, all quite straightforward - I’ve not had to claim from them (yet)...
Neither particularly my style. Whilst I really like the white dial explorer ii, the explorer just leaves me feeling a bit “meh” (although I have never worn one!). Don’t get me wrong, it’s still...
I perhaps haven’t been “into” watches long enough to go full circle, but I can’t ever see getting rid of my quartz watches. I currently have a fairly small 4 watch collection - 2 automatic, 2 quartz....
