Re: What watch have you worn most during 2023?
As it's nearly the end of the year, I thought it would be appropriate to do my annual look back at which watches I have worn most in the past 12 months. For me, there is the usual bias towards the watches that are newer and also towards those bought earlier in the year. Most of my acquisitions this...

Re: C9/C8 P2725
Ah, the C8 P2725, such a great story .......Sergeant Ray Holmes, who was born in Wallasey on the Wirral just a mile from where I'm sat in work now, and who saved Buckingham Palace in September 1940. This was the 'cheap' version of the watch with no Hawker Hurricane metal and using a Sellita movemen...

Re: Looks like the Ward Hoard Business is up for Sale...
Never been comfortable with this ‘model.’ The fact that Dan was a Forum member, had a bit of a ‘heads up’ with certain sales then certain watches appeared on his site with a considerable mark-up, always made me uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a lovely fella and a delight to deal with but it’...

Re: Sky News: Selling stolen watches 'now more lucrative than drugs'
From dealing with the scumbag element of our world for many years, im of the opinion that few people are actually targeted for their watches. Yes this certainly goes on in city centres, but I really dont think is overly common. That is for Very high end areas, and Very high end watches. Someone who...

Re: Strap of the Day
I normally wear the BC with the bracelet. A quick switch to this. A strap that I bought for the BC about a month before I picked up the watch. In my view the best leather strap match that I have for this watch. An antelope leather, blue pebro savannah. 42F753E4-356C-4445-89D0-81071D271DC0.png 683C4...

Re: Bronze c60 pro 300 with gunmetal band ?
I have scoured the forums but haven’t found an answer. Has anyone taken a bronze c 60 pro 300 and tried it with the gun metal bracelet? I was thinking of getting the bracelet when I order the watch. But I don’t have access to a paint or photoshop program that actually does a good job. Thanks in adv...
