Hi all,
My daughter is soon to be 18 and I’m getting her a watch. We had a lovely day in London trying various brands and one very eye catching model for her is the Tudor 1926.

It’s more than we...

JLC Polaris for me, but I’m biased as I’m lucky enough to own the no date Polaris in blue.

I was initially a bit concerned about the size but it doesn’t wear too large and it’s become my daily...

Third this. He serviced a lovely ultra thin for me.

Holiday in Rome and our 25th wedding anniversary is a good enough excuse for a new watch (each!). The good lady went for the mother of Pearl 35mm version, which I have to say is a really good looking...

I realise that it’s not exactly the same as this is the old AirKing, but it is the sunburst dial with the 3, 6, 9...

I was always torn between the benefit of having a date on the larger model and not on the smaller, but ultimately I wanted to avoid it wearing too large.
If JLC could give me a call I’ll let them...

I bought mine from watches world. A great discount at the time. About 18 months ago I think. Would recommend them. You just have to wait about 6 weeks though!

The other comments about the bezel...

I own the blue dial Polaris and I love it. It wears really well on the bracelet. I’ve been meaning to order a rubber strap for it too for some variety, which needs to be OEM to suit the watch head...

34mm but wears slightly larger.

Yes, even more than they have already! They won’t be happy until they ARE the market!

Awesome! Well done that man! It looks good. Thanks.

Yes it does for mine too now but I initially had a notification page appear this morning stating that it was being retired. I guess they are giving us some warning before doing so?

Oh that is gutting! It was my go-to for perusing watch stuff on my phone! Gah.
I really do think that Hodinkee have done more harm than good to this hobby!

That was a big loss to the area. I work in Huntingdon and used to love perusing his spinning display of restored classics! I was only just getting into watches at the time so didn’t fully appreciate...

Oh my Lord. Some lovely lovely watches in that video!
I’m going to have to expand my wish list now.

That’s truly horrific!

Some very good 50% discounts off a couple of nomos and Oris models on there too! £3k watches for £1500!

Yes, fair points. I imagine it’s all manner of issues, and Germany’s productivity seem to be suffering as a result.

This sort of thing really reduces their credibility in my eyes. I find it very frustrating to watch. I refuse to browse their shop these days as it feels as though they contribute to a lot of the...

Maybe it’s related to Germany’s power supply issues (which is obviously as a result of the war in Ukraine)? I know that the German car manufacturers are also quoting extremely long lead in times now....

It’s quite interesting that apparently they kept the full name on the dial and used the logo as a secondary element because they were advised that the use of the Swiss flag within the logo might’ve...

Now that looks sweet!

Sounds like you’ve made your mind up OP but just to say that I have the Speedie and added the Polaris last year and the Speedie barely gets worn now! The JLC is stunning and practical and just a...

Did you remember the clocks changing?
