Re: Finance Options

I have used 0% finance to purchase an Oris in 50% off sale last year. I certainly wouldn't pay interest to purchase a watch.

Re: New 2016 Rolex Models from Baselworld

It would have to be the Explorer for me. Not that I am thinking about another Rolex, honestly I'm not.

Re: Holiday Watches

For me it also depends on the location. For city breaks, I visit Hong Kong regularly, then it's my Rolex Milgaus.

Re: Non CW of the Day

This is one of my favourites. Seiko SKX007. Solid as a tank, goes to the gym with me, does the gardening. A real mate.
