What watch do you wear?

[Skidder]

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)

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!

Very nice, out of interest was that the box it came in?

 

[2StepSteve]

Thanks

It was the box that it came in from Creation Watches.

I nice is the bezel click?

The clicks between my Steinhart and Seiko 5 is night and day for example.

 

[2StepSteve]

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!

$110 ?! that's cheap.

This is the heliosphere range, even cheaper!

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

I wear nothing else.

How good are replica watches these days? Just a curiosity question more than anything after seeing it mentioned on the last page.

It's a lovely watch. I did have one of it's predecessors:
