The website does say that you can view watches at their office by appointment only. And apparently they’ve been trading for 15 years. I’ve certainly never heard of them before.

Thanks guys, your replies (and lack of them) pretty much confirm my suspicions. I shall give them a miss.

Whilst browsing the web I came across Rolex Watch Trader. They’ have a nice website and plenty of positive TrustPilot reviews but I haven’t actually heard of them before now. I’ve never spent more...
Similar thing for me. I was climbing in the Dolomites and was sat on a ledge belaying my climbing partner. A faster party joined us on the ledge before continuing above us. Just before they left one...
Thanks Dave, looks like great lume, and the 30 minute dot is certainly something a bit different.

I’m intrigued by your Bell and Ross diver Dave. Does it have a lume pip at the 30 minute mark? It’s not something I’ve seen before, if so.

100M water resistance is nice, but the 42mm diameter spoils it for me unfortunately.

I remember picking up my new U1 SDR and excitedly shining a torch on it and running into the understairs cupboard like a 5 year old. I admit to feeling a little deflated when I compared it to my CWC....
And the lume isn’t that great on them either…

It’s steel with a black coating. I had a U1 SDR and managed to scratch through it fairly easily using it as my daily wearer.

The Richmond- Reeth Road is one of my evening rides after work or when im pushed for time. It’s been getting steadily worse over the last 15 years. The subsidence is literally causing the road to...
I personally prefer the stainless steel. But I’m boring.

I’ve got a SpeedTwin 1200 and it’s the only bike I’ve ever bought without a test ride first. I’d watched lots of reviews and ridden similar bikes so knew what to expect- right down to the crap rear...
I do wonder if this is a sales tactic to push you towards the Certified Pre Owned route? I enquired in Goldsmiths in Newcastle and was told there is still at least a five year wait for a ND sub- so...
I knew something else was missing! So now I don’t like the pheon and the fact it doesn’t have minute markers.

Pleasing on the eye, but the pheon on the dial spoils it for me.

The activity that I do which is most likely to damage a watch is mountain biking. So reluctantly I would have to say my one watch would be my G Shock. I rarely need to wear a suit so it technically...
You must have better eyes than me, I can’t see anything.
I bought a watch from Watches of Whitby last month. It was a great experience and I feel pretty lucky having them 40 minutes up the road from...
Walking past the window of Goldsmiths in Eldon Square in 2017 and seeing a Sub in the window. I was technically working at the time so couldn’t go inside to enquire about it. That afternoon I decided...
Lovely looking bike although I’ve got one in red so I am biased. Similar to you, I had adventure bikes for a few years but after I’d seen the Speed Twin I knew I had to try one. I still go on 2-3 day...
Very tempted by one of the Temple vented jackets.

The hour markers are inlaid on the black dial.

I went down a whole size in the Mocs as they are quite long. After wearing them for a year I’ve had to admit they are a bit on the narrow side so thin socks only. I wish I’d tried on the 7.5 in the...
I haven’t been down that way for a while. It’s worth a ride out for the place names alone!
