Today was vintage Bond day.
Still think that's one of the best modern interpretations of a vintage watch out there. The prices of the originals have gone completely mad, wish I'd got a nice MN Snowflake when they were a lot cheaper.... @ Andy_tims - still got yours...?

How the hell would it look like another same-again Rolex if it merely had Rolex written on the dial (and some other bits like crown and s

'Do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking the course?'t but that's cosmetics). There's no logic in it, innit?Since this is PH, let me overlay your statement on cars situation:
Me: this new Renault Megane, fantastic car. If it had Mercedes badges and nice alloy wheels instead of steelies I'd buy 5 and keep 4 as future appreciating classics.
battered: No no, that would make it another same-looking look-at-me Mercedes.
Me: but battered, that makes no sense. Badges make no difference to the look of the car, it would still be a nice looking car. Only a bit more desirable.
battered: you offended me with your logic, me and my mateys we're never wrong.

Is there much of a wait for these at the moment? I would love to see one in the metal and try it on for size.
I think supply is coming through a bit better now that the initial rush of orders has pretty much been fulfilled, I still wouldn't expect to see them appearing as "stock" till mid next year at the earliest, but you'd probably see one in 2-3 months if ordered now.mel said:

Remember the good ole days when this section of PH wasn't like General Gassing? I miss it. I may have to start posting in Tents, Caravans & Motorhomes
Not sure wristshots of your watches would be all that interesting or useful over there – unless you need help with pitching a tent, in which case such assisting material might not be permitted in that section.I think you’re better off here, and just ignore the minor irritants.

Could swear I replied to this already! But yeah I'm pleased I ordered when I did, otherwise I'd have ended up with the newer one and regretted it! Today is rubber one piece day.
Smells like vanilla
