You've obviously never tasted good fish and chips, or worn one of Eddies fine watches!!
If you seriously think (like I do) that British watches are as disgusting as the British food, of course I'm not talking about what the Swiss have produced for the RAF.
Anyone?

What's disgusting about a Smiths watch?
Perhaps you could explain what you find disgusting about British watches?
Don't feed the troll.
I'll be along in a few hours to a thread with 50+ replies to say the same thing ...
This is the first post you’ve started out of Sales Corner/Wanted to Buy/Heroes & Villains since September 2014 and you insult the owner of the site.
Good move!

C'mon Walter, lets have some fun!!
George Daniels would be disappointed
What an odd post!
Am I not free to express my opinions?
What about John Harrison?

Bit early to be on the sherry isn't it?
Of course you are, express away, your going to get hammered for them but you go for it, feel free, no one will stop you ( probably )
When I'm next accused of ingratitude, I shall point out that with this thread the bar has been set much higher
Im talking about the look of them, I have a huge respect for people like Harrison, Daniels etc
Are you going to tell us what you find disgusting about them?
If you're talking about Chr Ward, then I have to agree.

Thank you. I very seldom get surprised any more with what I read on here.
Then you come along.
I am curious as well. Many watches leave me cold, but I wouldn't class them as disgusting, unless there is some history or really hideous design is involved. Just saying.
I think you might have to specify a little, because there's more than one style of watch has come out of the UK in the last few hundred years. As it stands, you have said something so vague as to be pretty pointless. So who have you got in mind, or is it just a sweeping generalisation?
More amusingly, you do realise that many of the 'Swiss watches produced for the RAF' were in British cases, and some had British movements?

... and complied with British design specifications?
I assumed this thread was simply the latest excuse to give Bremont a good old-fashioned kick in the c***, and we're all for that.
Where is this sales corner? I can see hero's and villans but none of the others mentioned.
You need to complete the puzzle in the sticky thread in the other part of the forum to get access to the sales forum.
Off your meds?

That reminds me it's well past wine o'clock, i'd better get stuck into the red.
ever had a parmo?
It was Christmas. I was walking across the vast plain. The snow was like glass. It was cold. The air was lifeless. No movement, not a sound. The horizon was round. The sky black. The stars dead. The moon carried to its grave yesterday. The sun not risen. I screamed. I could not hear myself. I screamed again. I saw a body lying on the snow. It was the Christ child. Its limbs white and rigid. Its halo a yellow frozen disc. I took the child in my hands. I moved its arms up and down. I opened its lids. It had no eyes. I was hungry. I ate the halo. It tasted like old bread. I bit his head off. Old marzipan. I continued on my way.
I've managed a few fingers, but I can't bend my wrist enough for a hand.

So, you don't like the look of British cases, but can you tell the difference between a British case and a not British case?
I like my Bremont MB2 - I think it was mainly the marketing dept and special editions that get kicked .
I dont dislike all of them but most of them it is a matter of (good) taste, for instance I love the PRS29A, CWC 1970's chrono and a few more

Whatever!
It tasted as disgusting as it looked.
You do surprise me. No; really you do. Given the normal quality of your posts I would have thought you would have loved tripe.

Look at those wrists, hardly a watch to be seen. I rather think we're a dying breed.
Nowt wrong with the food some watches are excellent, if you don't like the UK stay away
Pathetic, at least stand by your original opinion....... Weak .
That's a slightly less inflammatory thread title.
'Hands up if you like some British watches but don't like others'...
Mind you, the PRS29A has its faults. I have found that mine aged incredibly quickly and now looks more like it's really been issued.
Mind you, that was one of Eddie's early tritium models. I hear the Luminova is more stable.
I suppose in the sense that Heston Blumenthal is a world-renowned terrible cook, Roger Smith is a similarly awful watchmaker (there aren't any other 100% British watchmakers to criticise unfortunately).
No, just you.
New here are you, son?
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Im very proud of me, I have opened a thread that has generated so many posts.
Well you've been around long enough so it was bound to happen eventually.
So you started a thread on a watch forum by making a silly comment, contributed nothing and feel proud of yourself?
Yes, well done you.
He actually told you right out that he was trolling you, and you're still biting. That's good trolling.
For being a member for so long and having a reasonable amount of posts your question and responses are very strange, bit like Brussels and Belgium food.
To be fair serving chips with mayonnaise was a culinary masterstroke. And Belgium were kind enough to allow the British army to use their country for our "home" matches to avoid spoiling our own countryside, so we owe them a debt of gratitude at least.
