I like this, but ordinarily prefer a less complicated face.

I saw an IWC on an airport advertising hoarding that I really liked but was in too much of a rush to check it out.

This thread might have prompted some wine-fuelled browsing. This could be an expensive Christmas, and the kids may yet go without school shoes!

I have the black-faced version of this watch. My colleague has the white-faced version with the gold hands. The blue version is very nice too - Shame I couldn't justify the gold-cased versions!

Been looking at this Heure Monza Classic Calibre 36. It was issued in 2011 and is what they call a re-edition of their original 1933 Monza. As my Lagonda is a 1933 I could se myself wearing this as I gad about in the Lag! driving

Until the recent refurb there was one in WoS on Oxford St.

I'm in the office on Friday - I'll pop in.

I've always wanted a regular Moonwatch, but for one reason or another I haven't got around to it yet.




Also want one of these, they are a bit chunkier than the Patek Nautilus which always felt a bit thin and delicate. I love the blue dial but being boutique only I think they are a bit rarer and harder to get hold of, in which case I'd settle for black.

You have to own a speedy at some point in your life , its such a lovely looking handsome watch. Just the right size. And not too bad price wise.

To me anything over 40mm too large so prefer the "Reduced".

Tudor BB is still tempting me, only I think I've settled on the burgundy with the vintage leather strap

It might just be the photo but they don't half look cheap in that.

hehe I've worn nothing else since buying mine. The sheer heft of it always puts a smile on my face.

I'm seriously toying with picking one up, there are a lot kicking about for the £100-200 mark on eBay. It would replace the old £40 G-shock which is well past it's prime, would also keep my Bulova 'nice' if I wasn't wearing it every day. My only worry is that I have fairly skinny wrists and it might end up looking like a literal handbag.

I've got the skinniest wrists known to man and wear an orange monster a lot of the time.

It wears well I think smile

Ingenieur Double Chronograph Automatic Titanium Men's Watch IW3865-03.

Jomashop seem to be selling it for absolute buttons at the moment which is making the temptation very hard to resist.

I'm currently saving for one of these. Half way there and I'll use some of my summer bonus grab one. (Think I'll be giving Mr. Hackett a bell in June!) There's a few watches I want but this is the only iconic one on my list and the one that has tempted me the most.
