Re: Non CW of the Day

It’s dull and miserable here in Co. Durham so I thought I’d add a splash of colour into my day:-

Re: Bezel Play??

Yeah I know what you mean, generally speaking they are highly regarded and the specs are great for the money but it sours the experience when they say there’s no such fault with either item that you’ve returned and for that reason I’m out. Totally agree and I don't blame you. The attitude sometimes...

Re: Bezel Play??

My MK3 had a little bit of play. My current MK2 has absolutely zero play albeit a little stiffer and harder (not hard) to turn. It wasn’t backplay on the bezel, it actually rocked by pressing (with minimal force) at the 12 or 6 o’clock position and lifted away from the case, it’s the first time I’v...

Re: Matt ceramic bezel question

You bought it expecting new not “nearly new” - I wouldn’t even attempt to clean it, the strap + the bezel would mean instant return and exchange for a BNIN version.

Re: 2021 Omega Speedmaster Master Chronometer

The improvements are good (imo), the newer strap and 42mm case are definitely favourable to us with slimmer wrists, although the price increase just moves it even further away from obtainable for me, will have to wait a couple of years to see how these fair on the secondhand market before I’ll be ab...

There was one running until Christmas Eve but I’ve not seen anything since.

Re: CW January ‘21 Sale

Only 55 of the 185 items left - trading seems brisk. I’ve never seen a sale where things actually disappear in real time, there won’t be anything left by the time the preview is over. ahh, but if past form is anything to go by, new items will appear... I’ll be honest, this is the first sale I’ve se...

Re: CW January ‘21 Sale

Some great watches and prices... hurt a little to see the watch I bought only 3 weeks ago receive a £300 price cut. Which one was that? Maybe the discount was due to it being 'Nearly New'. Guy It was a nearly new C60 BLUE LE, still £300 is £300 lol! (Mines currently away for repair//exchange too :( )

Watch Origins - Where did you start?

Since I’ve found myself wearing it again this week I thought I’d share what effectively was the first watch to start my collection. I know the brand get a lot of hate but this (for me) was the watch that started it all, I’d owned a couple of watches before (Casio F-91W in my early teens, a Casio Lin...

Re: Some Things That Should Have Been... Omega I’m Looking at You

Like the change on the Rising Sun, not sure about the rose gold but the black bezel change was a must.

I’ve only ever modded Seiko’s, I think that’s where most people feel comfortable, or more so in my case I don’t even have the money for an Omega never mind modding it lol!
