That's lovely mate. And belated congrats on the marriage
Thanks not bad for £185. Makes my old Armani crap thing I had when I was 16 look like a toy! Still married too! Bonus!
What watch do you wear?

Seiko "mini" Monster. Really like this one, it's massive! My previous daily was a very slimline Skagen, this is totally different
.
Is that the Newly released version (with Hackable/Windable movement) or the older one like my Orange "mini" Monster that does neither!?

I believe that you have to get a tool for that, I can't remember what it was called, but I know that I asked on an earlier page, and Raymond answered me

I couldn't tell you, although someone else might know in this thread 
It's the older one like your orange version. I didn't even realise there was one with a newer movement.
I had one of those but had to send it back as the strap clasp on it was atrocious, and was continually coming undone.
Glad I ended up with the Longines Hydroconquest now though.
Yeah! It came out last week!

Bit more 'spensive (mine was only £84
)But I don't mine!, okay mine is about 30 seconds slow, but that's the most it can be!!

Not experienced that yet but then I only wear it on formal occasions as my day job is casual.
I would be surprised if you have any problem, CW use an engraved version of a standard deployment used by many without issue. It's a good watch, enjoy it.

That Moto 360 looks incredible.
I have a couple of concerns about battery life though, as unlike the Peeble this thing will burn through that small capacity rechargeable battery. It's just not feasible for it to always be on. Maybe with the use of a gyro it can be set to automatically come on when it detects a flick of the wrist.
It looks great and don't get me wrong, I want one! It will suck that you'll not going to be able to stare at it all day when you have a pretty looking dial (skin) applied.

Picked up a box from John Lewis today for my rather paltry collection. Quite happy for just £20.
Have eyes on a Tissot PRC200 to hopefully take up another space in there shortly.

Same here regarding the Tissot, leather strap. Should be buying soon, love it.
Nice, was that just an instore deal or something?

Having trouble settling over the strap for the PRC200 but think I'll go with the bracelet, as Robbie says it makes it look much more expensive than it is, plus I'm yet to own a watch with a metal bracelet. Will have to spend some time in a shop and try them both out, see what feels better on the wrist.
Gimp - As far as I know that was just the regular price! There was another watch/cufflink box that was ~£50 but wasn't quite to my taste, plus I only own one pair of cufflinks so would be a waste.

Feeling a bit green with envy at moment.
Just watched Antiques Roadshow and woman on there has a unused Rolex 18c pendant watch ? from I think 1934 - Brand new with tags -in original box with bill and it did look nice. value approx 10k
Not quite in same league as two old Delph plates at 30-40k
