It is my opinion and therefore fact that nothing octagonal should appear on wristwatch.;)
What about dodecagonal? Is that okay?
Please say yes, please say yes…

I am terribly sorry, but if you MUST have sides on your watch four is the only acceptable number.

Well that ruins my Christmas present idea for you.

That being said, I got a gold Royal Oak last week and it just didn't quite feel right so returned it, not sure if thats because of colours or shape. The shape works well for me on the Offshore because it's bulky.

I like them so you can get me one for christmas.

Nice collection you have there, I've not been obsessed at watches for a long time since i seen your model. I'm not usually a fan of gold on watches but that does look really gooood.

Well I returned the gold one (bought it from watchfinder) but I think they already resold it. I love gold watches, especially with a black dial. But actually the blue and steel combination is very nice, gold on such a bulky watch might be a bit TOO much!!

I've had a need for an Elliot Brown Bloxworth, and E-Bay provided the fruits smile - they are expensive for a Quartz, as a new watch, but I like it and it was a Billy-Bargain smile

I've no idea why it's sideways or how to fix it.

Need to size before a proper wrist shot, but a new arrival from Chronomaster, a Mondia 500M Wave. Impressive package for the asking, very happy.

After a long wait (bought on 30 Jan), my Marloe has finally arrived. For those who don't know, Marloe was started via Kickstarter back in January. Delivery was originally scheduled for June. I've got to say i really like it! I think some others on here will be getting theirs soon too.

That's rather smart. I do like an elegant watch.

I bet with a crown that large you need to wear it on the right wrist!

I hadn't really noticed the size of the crown but now you mention it, it is quite large. Easy to pull out and wind though.

I've no idea why I wear my watch on my right wrist despite being right handed. I play snooker left handed despite being right handed too. I like to think I'm ambidextrous, but confused is more likely....

Nice looking watch. I'm also right handed yet play snooker left handed. Can't say I've ever felt the need to wear a watch on the right wrist though biggrin

I think AP make some of the worst looking watches available.I just don't get the design language ( I heard that phrase the other day in a bmw 5 series ad. so had to use it) at all....

I'm not a huge fan of the Royal Oak stuff, but the Jules Audemars Equation of Time is lovely...cloud9

I really like this....Particularly with the yellow strap.

A lot of watch for £475.....Having looked further it's possibly a bit too chunky for my taste but it is very tempting.

I bought a couple, black arrived first, hopefully get my white one soon. In fact I think I ordered them after seeing them on here. I love the back of it!

Gave the black one to my best man as a gift on my wedding day. Great looking watch for the money!
