Re: Show us your cars ?

Two months back I got a new car (BMW330e), I’ve done 200 miles since then :crazy:

Re: The Official Watch Thread.

I'm struggling with my stainless steel watches because I seem to have developed an allergy to nickel (or I've always had it but it's got worse) and if I wear them too much I get a rash. A plus side is that I really like the rubber/leather strap look on watches. As I've said, the rose gold and black...

Re: The Official Watch Thread.

Here’s a yellow gold, just below retail for a 5 year old example https://www.maunderwatches.co.uk/shop/preowned-watches/rolex/daytona/rolex-daytona-9/ I bought the stainless version a few years ago for £8500, they are now retailing on the second hand market between £17-£20k :thumbup: That's an olde...

Re: The Official Watch Thread.

I did see the yellow one recently in a window of an AD in St Tropez but I have it on order at a better location. The price now has little relation t...

Re: The Official Watch Thread.

I have this one on order but yellow gold :thumbup: Happy days - but they reckon anything up to 12 months wait with the current shortage and current waiting list. A couple of years ago you could walk into an AD and pick a rose or yellow gold one out of the display case, but even the precious metal o...

Re: New Usernames ........ who are you

Re: The Official Watch Thread.

Personally I've always liked rose gold, that type of look (rose gold/black strap) has been around for a long time and I've seen a few of the high end watch companies do it well - then Hublot did it and made it look like a cheap G-Shock - but I still really like it. The one I want is the AP dual tim...
