Re: Buy a 2020 Rolex or order new & wait? Same ref & price
I've chatted to a couple of Rolex reps in various stores recently (too much time at airports for work travel and killing time at the destination) and pretty consistently they've told me that the bi-metal models are relatively easy to get hold of. Indeed a few of them hinted quite a bit that I'd get ...

Re: The Rolex Explorer
Contrary to some of the others, I think the average man on the street will notice a Rolex, and will form an impression based on that. I also wouldn't wear a Rolex to work unless I was trying to make a particular impression with a particular customer. On the other hand I don't think there is any prob...

Re: San Martin
Why are folk referring to these as homages? :problem: :silent: They are basically, as near as makes no difference, visual copies of well known watches, with another “brand” name on the dial. I doubt if their designer has a full time role! Neil I think that is the definition of homage in thia contex...

Re: San Martin
I was charged a little over 20% on arrival for VAT and duty, after I bought through what I thought was their website. However, the (oddly defensive!) consensus was the FB group was that this was unusual. They are very nice but you'll note that many of the homages are slightly different sizes. I got ...

Re: Insurance value
I spent a lot of time trying to get an answer to this question from my insurer but they never really seemed to understand what I was asking. They seemed to be saying they if you had bought it new then the insured value should be rrp and they would replace new with old (even if I hadn't paid rrp). Th...

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner
Obnoxious people doing obnoxious things because they think it's amusing, and subsequently taking moral umbridge when being called out on said obnoxiousness. Bizarre.

Re: Are regional nicknames offensive now?
For what it's worth, I work with many of the younger generation and it definitely wouldn't be ok to use those terms. Not passing any judgement on if they are correct to feel that way, but trying to answer your question! Best avoided.

Re: I am a stupid man, or: how I bought a Twelve and immediately regretted it
I think there is quite a lot of value in the authentication service beyond authentication. 1) in theory they check the condition matches the description in the listing 2) no risk of recieving an empty box (this is also a huge protection for the seller, thus encouraging more watches into the marketpl...

Re: Summer sale ?
Yeah, was trying to get a Trident 300... Is all hope lost to do that for the sale price? The only one I wanted was the Green 300 and managed to put in my basket. Even got thru to the name and and address part. Then, in true CW sale tradition I couldn’t complete sale. Kept clicking on “Continue to B...
