GMT today. The bracelet tapers nicely .

Personally, I hate leather straps that don't taper towards the buckle. Also, Rolex not on its bracelet is DIW .

Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Targa set available on the 1st March (earlier for VIPs). Should be around £120. The proportions are slightly off, the roof seems a little too low and the wheels are a tad too small, but otherwise it's pretty cool and I'll be getting it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y9iml27rwu4...

Make an estate version please.

My 2nd January order arrived a few days ago. And yeah, I'm holding off ordering stuff from the EU, bit of a mess right now.

Very nice, congrats . I hope you don't have to consult with that Jayemm dude on Youtube when things start breaking

Car insurance renewal for the F31. Cheaper than last year by 50 quid, quick call and they reduced it by a further 100 quid. Chancers.

The Chris Ward forum has regular “status of the collection” posts that I’ve never really paid much attention to as the idea of a big collection doesn’t appeal to me. Idly clicked on one last night :shock: That's a really nice collection. I know a couple of guys who are massive Speedmaster fans, bas...

Plan to hang it on the wall Order now shipped

I got a notification that my order should arrive by 31 Jan. Fingers crossed.

Same. Now thinking of getting the 1989 Batwing...

On first glance, I thought “Jesus Alex has weird fat forearms...”

Correct. The weight gain of last year hasn't helped

Picked up a BB58 blue a few days ago. Always thought they're a bit small for my 6.75" wrists, prefer bigger watches, but it wears so well, I can see why they are so popular. Never liked the original black and gilt version, the latest blue one is killer, a close homage to the Marine Nationale Su...

The ones I've listed are all quality from my own personal experience. Of course, no point in getting a 100 quid strap for a Seiko 5.

Where do you guys buy straps from? Any recommended websites? From my experience: If you're looking for a standard leather strap, I recommend Molequin (https://molequin.com/). They have some lovely straps, pricey but you get what you pay for. Based on Belgium and normally super fast delivery via UPS...

Can't believe my ultimate driving machine diesel estate didn't make the cut

Thought I'd bump this instead of creating a new one. Random Sat night thoughts. Whats everyones expectations from a courtesy car? If you'd got a £50k car that was damaged by someone else, would you expect a £50k loan car? Or more realistically, if you had an M3, or an C63, would you be happy with a...

£75k poverty spec is still A LOT for a 2 series.

320D just had its first service after 19000 miles. £270 (after 10% discount) for an oil and filter change, I miss not having a service pack. There's a M2 CS sitting outside the forecourt. IMO, it doesn't look like a £89k car.
