Yes come on. Can't post a watch like that and not give us the story behind it

Can't really go into the details on mine, as it's quite personal to someone, but apparently one of them released in the states was fought over by 2 Hollywood A listers, the winner being quite a famous aviator, the looser married a barrister not so long back, and was non too happy about not getting it.

That implies George Clooney was the loser. John Travolta probably the winner. I certainly don’t think Clooney would wear such a thing and I am not at all sure about Travolta.

Would either buy it for investment purposes? Maaaaaaybe but I doubt it.

No, that looks like something a boxer or other big money sportsman devoid of taste would buy.

I'd be surprised if it was Clooney as he is an Omega brand ambassador and usually sports Seamasters, Speedmasters and DeVilles - the common theme being they're all very tasteful.

Travolta on the other hand is a Breitling ambassador so hardly surprising.

Some details about it here:

But he would abe associated with production product, not specials, surely.

Perhaps but he's also a fan of the brand for its Aviation links.

A change from Porsche / Rolex, well half a change.

Love it, AD kept the card but I can’t see it going anywhere! It is for my 30th instead of a BLNR.

ETA; the car’s tyres are extremely grippy, as are the seats to keep me in at such an angle. Don’t know how to change it on my phone.

Watches pictured with your car is a big no no on here. Wait for the barrage

You might just get away with it, watch being worth more then the car

I imagine it was Liberace and Elvis or one of Las Vegas’s more adventurous street pharmacists.

Didn't think about it like that!

A colour change from the Tudor

[lostkiwi]

Updated the Magrette Kara with a black leather strap with blue stitching. Strap is 24/22 so the original clasp transferred over too. Very pleased with the result!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, all

Nice, slim & simple this week (exactly the opposite of me) lol

[Doofus]

DIY watch today. And, appropriately, I've done just about bugger all

Like that.

An old favorite that doesn't get the wrist time it should.

No. 83 on a new 'auborn' strap with a new style butterfly clasp ( cheers Lorne)... original was still unmarked and only changed for the sake of it but looks really good on brown (auborm). Surprised

Why did you do a pencil drawing of it being worn by a goat?
