What insurance cover do people have for their watches? My home insurance policy covers mine but i have to pay £20 each time i change watches for them to update the policy. Since i change about 4-6 times a year this add's up!
Anyone have any recommendations?

Hiscox home insurance - No need to advise of any changes at all & no need to list anything unless it's over £15k as a single watch

I like it a lot. Still trying to decide whether to cash in on the premium for it or get my 2013 Daytona tarted up and sell that instead. As I've bought a JLC Master Control Geographic in the last month, my head says the former...

Former, and get on the list for another new one. Then flog the 2013 when the new one comes.

I've not seen one with that dial before, is the cheque background a special edition?

After having a quick Google I'd also be interested to know.

Astron GPS Solar LE.

That's very cool, and it certainly appeals to my inner geek. I'd never have the patience to read through all the instructions though biggrin

Bell & Ross BR02-94. Still one of my favorite pieces even though I initially wasn't keen on the Chrono version.
I l think this watch looks horrific on you to be honest and my advice would be to get rid as soon as possible, also do you know that Bell & Ross are cheap tat that devalue horrendously.

Im so sorry if that came accross as harsh an please let le apologise to you by taking it pff your hands at a reasonable price!

Seriously really love these have a br-03 military green myself and would buy the 02 exactly the same as yours if it were still made. Did it come with the pelican case? It seems that not all did, or at least in secondhand market there not always included in the sale.

I bought it new in 2014 from Jura. It was one of the last that they had available, pretty much all of the other BR02s had gone. This one didn't come with the Pelican case which was my only real disappointment.

Yeah it's hard to capture

It is a uk ltd edition.

Don't know much about it as it was a bit of a spontaneous decision and loved the style of it and the red black leather strap
