What’s the equivalent of a guilty pleasure, when you know you probably shouldn’t want something but you still do?

It’s a bit hard to say how much they are as I wear them anything between one to four times a week, not every day. I can’t remember how many I’ve ordered to be delivered or how often either, I only...
I found the latest generation of multifocal one day soft ones a revelation compared to older types, they’ve really improved. An updated prescription was probably part of that feeling, but I think the...
I guess the honest answer is D - none of the above, as I won’t be getting any of them. Perhaps the Chopard is the prettiest, but it should be at that price. A good effort from Christopher Ward...
Thought for the day, would you choose:
A - Chopard’s openworked titanium Alpine Eagle ($26,500)
B - Christopher Ward’s skeletonised titanium Twelve X (£4,120), and enough spare change for a decent...
That’s not a sin.
It will be interesting to see how the general public, as opposed to watch fanatics, perceive the brand in future. This partly depends on the inertia of previous ideas about them, and any new...
Civil War, Alex Garland’s gut wrenchingly visceral take on an alternate present day, or near future American civil war. It deserves to be seen in a cinema, at full volume. It’s had some mixed...
An interesting take of the Rolex direction of travel following W&W: https://www.fratellowatches.com/watches-and-wonders-2024-is-this-the-year-i-lose-touch-with-rolex/

Argyle on Apple TV. It may be free to watch, but you won't get your time back.
The main issue is the script, which for far too long leaves you wondering if anything is real, completely taking you...
To be fair that is actually an upgraded bracelet to the older ones, with a new clasp that lies totally flat (it’s a little odd that the old ones didn’t really, but it was always presented as a...
Dreaming of the new GS White Birch hand wound, this is as close as I can get…

Have a good weekend!
Funnily enough it’s taken the new white birch hand wound models on leather, SLGW002 and SLGW003 shown earlier in this thread, to really show the potential of this case. Especially when (arguably...
Good point about that 37mm Defy Revival, very slim wrists for sure, not unlike mine! Still, integrated bracelet watches do wear larger, so ‘Only 42mm’ will probably wear like 44mm.
I’m picking up a vaguely Breitling Chronomat flavour, with a lingering aftertaste of Invicta or perhaps Rotary.
I know size is relative, but this picture shows why I wish the Zenith Defy was a little more wearable. Imagine how nice it would be if they’d designed it to fit your wrist instead of your hand…

True, but if we’re looking for the point when they started pandering to a rich clientele with poor taste, that ship sailed long ago!
Road House (2024 remake of the 80s Patrick Swayze film) on Prime. Serve with a pint or two of wine, highly entertaining. Jake Gyllenhaal is great as a ripped, washed up UFC fighter turned bouncer. In...
Starting? Just flick through one of those vintage Rolex books, and see what happens in the 80s.
Agreed it’s annoyingly expensive, though their prices make much more sense in Japan - 1,420,000 Yen equates to £7,540. Still plenty, but I’m struggling to see the cheap alternative, from the photos...
Rolex appear to be trying to replace themselves with Tudor this year, so they can concentrate on monstrosities like the 44mm gold Deepsea, arguably the world’s most pointless watch, and other...
I’m more positive about them as I’ve always appreciated the stylish photography, the site / app is well designed, and their taste in vintage has generally been good. Some of their collaborations have...
Sure, whatever you say…

That’s a new generation bracelet with a taper and a flatter clasp, so one of the best. But none of them are ‘tinny’, they’re just designed to be comfortable instead of heavy. Contrary to popular...
