Skids, how much did you wangle the reverso for? Out of curiosity.
£1,195
For mechanical reverso classique. Very happy once serviced (with London watchmaker not JLC, so only another £120 or so)
What watch do you wear?

I can understand not wearing a nice watch every day for fear of damaging but, personally, I'd still wear it at least 'for best', or even once or twice a week - else I'd be concerned I wasn't enjoying it!

My Orient Ray arrived today to compliment my Orange Mako. Orient watches are just stunning for the £.
Going to ditch the cheap rubber strap though!
The lum is definitely better than the Mako!

The bezel clicks and it's uni-directional. The clicks feel solid, with a nice amount of force required to turn the bezel; not too tough or too easy.
I had a bit of luck today with my Bulgari watch.
The strap is held together by push through pins. No screws or anything, just a barrel and a pin. On my way to work one of the pins came out and the watch came apart.
Luckily I had elasticated wrists on my jacket which caught the watch as I only noticed the watch had come off while in the work locker room.
Any ideas how to make the pins tight without wrecking the watch?

Just ordered one of these
I might get sent the white one though, as I accidentally selected the wrong colour, but I have requested they send the dark one.
fingers crossed!
Really fancied a moon phase, seemed like a good option, and does not exactly break the bank!

thread lock or a little superglue on the pins as you push them in, all watch enthusiasts use this technique, don't worry, they will come back out when needed

Wow, I'd be well happy with that!
Cheers, forgot about thread lock.
So my Omega SMP has arrived and I love it
