Is it made of real spiderman webs for that price?

No but it shoots some white goo every time you touch it

FTFY. I wouldn't give £175 for it, let alone £175,000.
I'm guessing that's what the "AP" on the crown stands for: "Another Pillock."

The Lorier Astra is the first release for a long time that has really tickled my interest

Is it the blue lume circle? Beyond that it’s as vanilla as it gets.

I really like the hands and dial, case shape and bracelet.

I’ve met the Lorier folks and they’re good people. I almost bought the tonneau case one (don’t remember the name) but that’s too dressy for me.

This is a nice combination of classic dressy styling with the functionality of lume. Same reason I like the Smiths Everest I have I suppose.

I like that, close to the Longines Heritage Classic but I think this is a better execution of it.

I quite like this. Probably not a popular choice as usual!

[Mezzanine]

Nice, I like that.

£220 off at Goldsmiths...

I've been making puppy dog eyes at those for a while but I'm not sure I can get past the ears next to the crown.

The silver leaf, laquered dial on these though!



JDM only NB1060-12L.

That one is very nice too. I think I'd not seen Citizen as being in the same space as the Seiko Presages before.

This popped up on my Instagram feed today. It’s bloody lovely.

I like this a lot, but it's only available to owners of other Fears watches, or from the shop in Bristol, which is a bit of a trek. And a bit spendy.

I'd forgotten this thread. It turned out I did need another blue watch and a beautiful thing it is too!

That's a Radiomir case with a IWC style dial, for £3k+?

I think you could probably find a real (used) Radiomir for that price on Chrono24

Good work - that’s a lovely watch.
