    Just ordered a Ginault Expeditioner. 

    I wish that the bezel wasn’t so Yacht Master-like….. but quality is incredible for the price. Currently still on 30% off pre-order price too. 

    I absolutely love that watch @SuedeAdidas
    enioy mate, very jealous. 

    What dial colour did you go for? 
    Pink 😄

    Afka, lots of that style watches out there if they take your fancy.
    I’ve been after a pink dial watch for ages. 
    Not many about. 

    Ideally I’d have liked the Zenith….but my budget would not allow that.

    Dunno about that. It’s literally a clone isn’t it. 

    Not really. It’s mainly the bezel that gives that effect. 

    Totally different handset, totally different indexes. 
  • Casio F-91W remains my favourite watch.

    Picked this up recently. Longines Spirit 37mm. This is a birth year watch for my son who was born in February, and the intention is that it will be gifted to him on his 18th birthday.

    Lovely watch. I have the 40mm in Green.

    Madness, that's at the very most a £10k watch, it is really worth 990k as it was owned by someone who died on the titanic.....

    Not sure what drugs the designer was on when he came up with this - a Bel Canto too far for me. Really not sure who the target audience is for this, maybe I'm too old to have a full blown acid trip on my wrist. Christopher Ward are certainly pushing the barriers with this one, but I do like the new Mk V Jump Hour.

    Agreed. That jump hour is pretty cool tbf. 
  • Described as 'one of the world's most complicated vintage pocket watches ever made'. 

    Created in 1907 by Coventry watchmaker Joseph Player, had been expected to reach around £1 million when it went under the hammer in Geneva.

    Instead, it far surpassed expectations, achieving 2,238,000 Swiss francs, the equivalent of £2,122,896, and leaving auction watchers stunned.

    Had built up this collection, also had a seamaster which was robbed off my wrist. Sold them all now, but the one I miss the most is the Tudor, what a great watch that is. Also crazy how the Tudor is technically smaller than the yachtmaster, but looks and wears bigger.  Got my eye on the 54…

    Tissot make some great watches, I have a PRX with a Green dial, most comfortable metal strap on any watch I have. They do a titanium one now in 38mm which I'm tempted to get....
