Perfect. I love pretty much all of your watches.

Yes. He's very annoying.

Just picked this up. Really chuffed with it!

You should be. I was sure before I bought mine it would be too big but it wears remarkably well. It’s amazingly well built and looks superb.

Not been out for a while so time for a week on the wrist

That watch is stunning. Do you have any more pics? The strap looks interesting.

Another one on the "stunning" bandwagon here.
I've had my eye on a Stratos Rainbow Flyback for a while but don't think I could rock a 45mm on my skinny wrists.

I'm a big Oris fan. That's a lovely item!
Is the face CF?

Very nice. Some interesting Oris watches about. I’m a big fan of the Chronoris and they’re always available at great prices in Chrono24.

I haven’t worn this one for quite a few weeks. Still love it after a couple of years ownership. Dog is distinctly underwhelmed though:

I don't use this much because I'd wondered the last few years if it'd become a bit naff. Are they?

I still think they are a great, sensible, solid 'do everything' watch.

The problem is the Rolex price lunacy and cynicism over the last few years. I got my first 16610 in 2003, and it was $2400 used. Sensible price.

These are OK, but the gold ones with the beveled ring are irredeemably naff. Aren't they?

Absolutely naff. Therefore, begrudgingly, I’d take it off your hands, just for spares you understand...

Thanks. Yes, CF. The case is a mixture of titanium & rose gold.

The strap is natural rubber so smells of vanilla/ chocolate.

I have a Chronoris too. Also lovely!

I don't think they're naff. Rolexes were, and still are, the classic, reliable, robust watch. They have become a little ubiquitous - that's its only misfortune.

That Pogue is brilliant.. my birth year too. Trying to get fit so my scuffed up Apple Watch is getting some use again. Figured how to get non-standard faces on it too

How’d you manage that?

So freakin' cool. Much better than a naff ROLEX!
