Re: GMT potential unpopular opinion

IMO, I don't think it's unsightly. Opposite for me, that I find it extremely appealing visually but really don't need (or use) the complication that often. Trips to Asia or Europe otherwise in North America most of my trips are a 1-3 hour difference and just do the math (maths for our UK members) in...

Re: Canadian Taxes and Duty Example 2023

Yup. 5% Federal duty plus provincial tax and I always budget around $25 for the DHL fee. Heads up. The DHL fee also applies to when you order straps as well and can be quite punitive if you only order one or so straps. Recommend ordering extra straps with the watch purchase or order several straps a...

Re: Credit where it's due...

Re: The Twelve - C12 Arctic White #285

Sincere congratulations on the addition of The Twelve Ferg! Outstanding pictures as well!!

Curious, does this keep you at 19 CW watches ( with your outgoing in the last two weeks)?

Re: Baser - SOTC July 2023

Great post and nice to see the C11 featured prominently.......probably the only CW I've sold on that I have some regret selling. Always provided a Panerai-esque vibe for me. Fine collection!

Re: Rant - Customer service - not CW

Kip - totally agree, "doing your job" customer service has evaporated in North America. Now when I actually receive great customer service I certainly go the extra mile to praise it! What perplexes me is when the poor service occurs, is the utter lack of urgency for the service providers t...

Re: Direction of the watch industry

I can say with a straight face that if a 1675 and a 126710 were on the table I would take the 1675 every time. This is something I think about a lot.
