Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)

Valjoux 7733 NOS gets a morning out. 20240220_100804.jpg Everything about that watch (other than the movement) suggests I should really dislike it. Colour - wrong Case shape - wrong. Dial - wrong. However..... everything about that watch is really cool and works for me! How the hell do watches do t...

Re: Foliot 3 hander and GMT

I quite like the look of them.
I agree however, black or white dial for me and white wins. Plus I dont do gmt!

I have a weakness for a nice white dial....

Re: How the eyes and brain adjust…

My teeny tiny brain refuses to accept smaller watches! My wrist is only 7.5" so ive not got massive wrists, but smaller than 40mm and my minds eye just says no! I loved my Sapphire, which was my first ever CW but sold it because it just looked smaller than it was. For some people that would be ...

Re: The Rolex Replacement

As much of a Rolex fan as I am, I also love quite a few Omegas.

Id put certain watches from either camp above some from the other camp!
This make me a judas or just greedy?!!!

Either way, really nice watch :thumbup:

Re: Non CW of the Day

Been this for the past 2 weeks after seeing so many on here! Lovely! I thought I might have been imagining it but we have had a spell of lovely omegas recently. @JasperCat, @stefs and @StrappedUp are starting the pushback with their lovely new Rolexes :D (Because it IS a competition :lol: :wave: ) ...

Re: Sherwood watches

Nice green dial colour IMHO and not a bad price. I guess they're China made? I agree, I’m on look out for a decent green dial. I know im going to regret this, but ive had this on my wanted list since last summer. Good price, seem pretty good, but look stunning imo. As I cant get one yet, someone el...

Not worn this for a while either; patina continues to develop well.
