We've been using the in-law's previous gen Alfart, it does baby duties perfectly, abundance of space, just a shame it drives like a boat.

You're only offered it once every three years.

Got caught doing 59 on the M6 temporary speed limit of 50 in December. Sat the course a couple of weeks ago. I found it interested and useful.

Another Mercedes + Hamilton masterclass. This should be Bottas' last session with Mercedes.

Re: The Watches Thread

I just think this type of strategy devalues the brand when CW have clearly done really well for themselves and have a loyal following.

I don't understand why they do that. Might as well lower all the watches by £100 because that's the actual price.

Re: The Watches Thread

@Pete_ I always ask international sellers if they would declare the value of the watch a lot lower. For example, my recent Grand Seiko the seller declared it £200 which meant I saved a huge chunk on import charges, the real value is £5k. As a buyer, it doesn't matter if anything happens to the watc...

Re: The Watches Thread

Anybody have experience buying through Chronos24? There's a few for sale on there, but I don't know anything about the platform. I've bought many watches on Chrono24 before, most from abroad, some watches into five figures (not bragging) and never had any issues. Make sure you check on the seller f...

Re: The Watches Thread

No glide lock on the new Explorer 1, they're reserved for the dive watches and would be too thick a clasp for a "small" watch. It does have the easy link 5mm adjustment. Glad they didn't change the Explorer 2 too much, the white polar dial is crisp, hope to pick one up this year. Oyster br...

Re: Harry’s Garage

I see Chris Harris just bought a new CS on Instagram. Blue looks so much better than black. I thought he had a black M2 CS? Did he swap it for a newer one? (Or one of those Litchfield paint wrap thingie?) Has he still got the 1M coupe? I think he had the M2 Comp in black with gold rims. I'm sure he...

Re: Harry’s Garage

Not a fan of gold rims but the the M2 have always looked great. I like the CS but Harry's correct, there are lots of competition in that price bracket. The massive calipers and tiny gap between the rim seems a bit idiotic to me.

Re: The Watches Thread

I’ve looked at the AnOrdain stuff before - dials look amazing. Was only vaguely aware of Paulin - that looks nice. When it's safe to do so, you should visit the Paulin store on Great Western Road, they sell some cool stuff. One of the sisters who owns Paulin is married to the Lewis who owns Anordai...
