They depreciate quite a bit but bottom out fairly quick. That one is a bit more than what I'd pay. I saw one go for £1200.
What watch do you wear?

A friend got a new Lum Tec Combat B, only noticed it after seeing the lume bright as day when we entered a dark room this weekend. Had a play around with it, pretty heavy given it's on a rubber strap. Felt very high quality too and the exhibition back is a nicely done too.

That watch is very 'me', but not suited to the £40 I have in my wallet xD

Very nice. Looked at some Lum-tec in the passed and might have to re-visit seeing as I can't find a Sparrowhawk II for love nor money.

Just snapped up a Longines Conquest L3.660.4.76.5
All box and papers and that. Worth a crack for the 260 I paid I thought.

Flips over to show a second time zone (and/or "look").

Uh huh. What else am I going to do on a Monday!? Write to do lists, update project tasks and logs, add new RAM to laptop, complain about no new SSD waiting for me, get work to replace my iPhone I washed last night, then head home in a bit to check on the dog 
Hard Monday tbh

Yup, landing in Pisa, then off straight to Florence for 5 days!

Good man!
I would book holidays, and bloody should have booked flights back to the UK to see the wife's family for October, but you know, a return flight to LHR for 4 isn't really too exciting!

Might have to replace the wife's Tudor princess. Dammit.
I'm unsure if it can be saved, but I have spotted another, which I could possibly replace it with. Sucks, as I'd rather get myself something

I go away for a week and not one single ball pic.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves!
As a side note, in NYC I tried on a Longines of sorts in Macy's...beautiful light weight amazing watch.
Saw the $3300 price tag and thought better of it

Hahaha I felt like I shouldn't, or I'd be hated. Now you're back though. Balls out.
These guys are swiss based and seem to have bought a clearance of watch items and now selling off a ton of Wyler watches.

Some nice ones there. As they're out of business as well, not sure how they're stack up for replacement parts of servicing, but also prices and values.
On a side note, I've just been offered a PAM176 44mm mechanical wind in titanium, but if I'm going to spend that much, I'd prefer the 111, or 55, or 448, 320 lol thinking about it, I'd like a few :/ but it's a good price. Hmmm
Kid. Sweet shop.

Reading this thread, looking at my naff collection of old digital time pieces from the 80s onwards and getting the Pebble made me a bit nostalgic so I went looking for a TV show I used to watch when I was a kid - not sure if anyone else will appreciate it but I thought it was pretty good.

The production has dated a lot but the content is still interesting and its not just about digital watches either.

Bought a replacement for the wife:
Should arrive soon hopefully.
Had a meeting this morning with a guy from the Program Office, he's a big watch person. Had his Pepsi Rolex on today and we were discussing what's next. He wants an Explorer apparently. He drives a 911 Carrera 4S so he's obviously doing OK!
*shakes fist*
