    Talking of other watches - anyone seen these yet?



    Not my usual fare but I really like that.

    You can do better, not as flash as Ben Taylor’s Daytona or whatever he is bought... he does like to be a bit flash, but remember he is a scouser sorry Ben, but you did buy an Aston Martin lol

    Please don't tempt me! Although i have already managed to scratch it slightly. But i was catching my 5yo daughter from falling off some rocks at Bude beach.

    It did come with a nice presentation stand though.

    Shame to here this after reading the great tale of you getting hold of it.

    I’ve recently moved into the office at work and I’ve started rotating my four throughout the week and love spending so long wearing them!

    Be alright, as Ash says I just need to take the missus out more. I've made a promise to myself I'll wear it every time I take the 911 out which on current form should be at least twice a year

    Lol,

    It's very close to my work watch...

    Can't complain for 20 quid off eBay, and the glow in the dark paint on the dial is really very good

    I really wish I hadn't started this.

    I seriously like this watch, but unless I won the lottery could never afford one.

    Technically guys, if you want a super accurate timepiece on your wrist, get a smart watch. They get their time from GPS. No quartz or mechanical can compete

    But Arry, think about the thought, design and craftsmanship that goes into making a smart watch accurate

    Serious Question : Why is the accuracy of a watch important except as a measure of the workmanship that's gone into the watch ?

    I don't wear a wristwatch but I always imagined you guys were wearing them as small pieces of art and/or workmanship and as a fashion statement.

    Even with my phone being accurate to less than a second, I still translate and round what I read to the nearest 15 minutes. 11:41 becomes quarter to twelve a.m. or "Fcuk! Where did my morning go ?!"

    Of course it is jewellery

    Do you think I used to wear an Apple
    Watch when I used to go out?

    I have started wearing a watch again because it is easier to just lift your wrist than pull your phone out to check the time lol

    Feels genuinely weird going out of the house without a watch on.

    I haven't worn a watch for 3 weeks
