Re: Limited (30 Pieces) Edition of The Twelve - Interest List

Good luck Carter. I am sure you will get the takers for that lovely shade of blue.

Personally, I would just like to see some hour indicators, which i feel would complement the very clean design. :D

Re: Pics from the walkers

We're on the Isle of Wight this week. We happened across the needles today. The lighthouse is about 30 meters tall, roughly the same as the one in Southwold. :D Worth seeing, but only just worth going to see, as Dr Johnson very nearly said. :D The picture is from the National Trust Low Battery, whic...

Re: Crystal and case durability of CW watches

Not just Cw, I don't think I have a single sapphire crystal that looks marked in any way.

I don't baby my watches, but I don't go out of my way to try to abuse them either, and my CW watches still look like new, I would like to think. :D

Steve lives very near me, in Earl Shilton in Leicestershire. Norman Dagley the former world billiards champion lived there as well. A hot bed of sporting excellence. :D

Re: The Non-Curmudgeons Corner

Great to see Luke Littler win the Belgian Darts yesterday although not on TV. I had to follow on flash scores. I think he got a nine darter as well. I love watching the darts, but it's better with Luke than without him. ;D

Re: Buy a 2020 Rolex or order new & wait? Same ref & price

Andrew Morgan currently has a video of 10 Rolex models available under list. It might reflect exorbitant price increases over the last few years. Under list new from ADs, or under list from grey dealers? Neil I didn't pay much attention, but it was used. https://youtu.be/aWleI_Npke0?si=HQGBuQBU_EUI...

Re: Six Nations 2024

Why on earth did Ireland kick the ball away from their own 25 with a bit over a minute to go? Surely they could have just recycled for a minute, and the clock out?

Re: The Curmudgeons Corner

Sorry to be curmudgeonly, but there's just been a competitor on Impossible doing a Ph D in English Lit. Asked to pick out 5 novels out of 9, not by Sir Walter Scott, in 5 guesses, she managed to pick out 3 wrong which were in fact by Scott, including Ivanhoe, even. I was most surprised, with her bei...

Re: Oracle Time x CW Teaser

I actually like the Czapek, although the Tiffany blue is a bit hackneyed now. I don't like the sparse dial with no markers, and I imagine I won't be keen on the price. The CW version might be very pleasant with different colours, and maybe a bit bigger. It's a very attractive concept, I think, even ...

Re: Oracle Time x CW Teaser

:yawn: Is the lume illuminated in those pics, or is it blue?! I really cannot work this out! Work out what I mean by my question or work out what we’re seeing with the lume? From the article that was shared, it sounds like the lume is actually blue, not simply glowing blue. Well it looks like blue ...
