Saw some really nice minimal design Beringer watches at Pearson Airport this morning going for around $175 duty free. The build quality was excellent to the touch and they use sapphire glass. Quartz though but very thin.

Was so close to getting once but resisted.

Nice Longines

I just advertised my Omega Seamaster for sale on a local forum here in Basel and instantly tell me how they're going to 900CHF (~600quid) erm, if you want a quartz that's a different model, then sure. Otherwise move along love.

Quick random question...anyone know how to clean leather?

I've had the leather strap for my watch since I got it, and it's starting to smell a bit of sweat etc...I've worn it basically everyday since I've owned the damn thing so its understandable

Any suggestions? I've still got the metal strap, but much prefer a leather one - If I need to replace it then so be it.

If its the undersider, baking soda and water in a paste and then rubbed in, should clear the smell and not ruin the strap
Not tried it myself, but have searched for a similar solution before!

After seeing someone buying one on here I had to get one, Always liked IWC big pilot watches just not the price tags

... knock off ...

Surely you mean homage

Had the watch a while, but it didn't come in the tudor box so I got a tudor box from the bay of e's for it.

That's what i meant If only I had the extra cash, the real thing looks so good

Picked up this recenty - cheap automatic. Thought the leather strap looked hideous in the online pictures but has somewhat grown on me in person

that fake tourbillon style cut out ruins it

Arrived today from the US:



I preferred this one, but being visually impaired that one's a bit busy and low contrast for me.

guys I need a wedding gift for a guy, around £100 budget for a watch.

any ideas?

£100 is pretty much Seiko 5 category for a good watch. Loads of styles available, take your pick.

I've realised that deep engraving on the case back is not always a good thing. The amount of dust and crap that builds up under there between the letters is quite high unless you brush it often!

This is the one I am currently thinking of getting for myself.
