Thank you to all kind threadists with the "blue" options, Pagani and all blue Omega looking the best for now any more offerings?

Go on with the Ploprof, I am not manly enough to wear it but I say buy it, if you are able to wear it, flaunt it!

Thanks Bobbers for the heads up on the show. I will be there, quite a few brands I would like to see in the flesh, my credit card is cowering in the corner already. Last summer I had four mini breaks with the mountain bike in the New Forest so will combine this riding the bike. What could be better than watches, bike riding and beach at Highcliffe/Mudeford. Throw in some breakfast at Lyndhurst and pub lunches/dinners my absolute 3 to 5 days of bliss.

A familiar story with me, eyeing up something expensive and then getting a cheap version to try. CWC RN divers this time, with a watchdives one to sample. Apologies to my ocd brethren for the bezel

I like it, but dont think I ll be buying it s bigger brother.

It would be good to meet up if you're up for it?

[Llentil the llama]

Of course!

I did similar getting the QM submaster. About 70 quid but at least claims 300m WR. Taken with a pinch of salt.
MWC make the best CWC clones apparently, with more comparable spec, movement (Ronda with 10 yr battery), build and finishing

Hi chaps.
Any interest in this from anyone on this thread?
It’s on eBay for about £55 posted, but if anyone here wants they can have it for £45 posted or thereabouts.

I’ve hardly worn it, so in excellent nick.
Comes with the box if that’s important 😀
But also the spare links I removed for sizing etc.

On the subject of buying a cheap watch to see if you like the look. I bought an Addiesdive quartz Sub homage to see how it looked on me. Its a lot better than I was expecting tbh. The look suited me and ended up going for a Squale 1545 and then a Sea Dweller 43.

It's unlikely I'm going to wear the Addiesdive again so in the spirit of this thread if you want it reply and message me your details. If you want to stick a couple of quid in an animal charity box next time you see one that would be good too

[Bobberoo]

You guys and gals really do humble me with your generosity and helpfulness, it's a very kind thing to offer your watches here first and a very generous thing to gift your watches to threadists, thank you for making this thread so special.

I don t need the watch, but name me your favourite animal charity and I will bung a few quid their way anyway.

That's very kind. The Dogs Trust is a firm favourite having had several dogs from them in the past

[Pebbles167]

I like a Doge, more into Cats though. Give to any animal charity as and when able.

Nice to hear of a homage purchase leading to the purchasing of a Rolex, can't imagine it happens often! Very generous to offer it out also.

[Pebbles167]

Also, Barchettaman, your Ingersoll looks great in the main room.

Mrs likes it which is rare for something I buy. She says I did a st job hanging it though, which is arguably true.

[Barchettaman]

Lovely.

It balanced that framed shot of the Nolan sisters beautifully, too.

All done. Some excellent animals there.

My dachshund Penny is enjoying a few weeks in Leeds as I am currently under at opera north.

Wonderful

Mrs Janluke would like a Dachs at some point. We're down to one JR at the moment and at nearly 16 think a new member would be too much for him
