Hmm, I do like the idea of a bullhead chrono.

Is that an 856?

Quite like this Yema on eBay...

It’s the 556 you sold me lolz

Ah so you got that one!

There was some chat a while back about negative reviews. Ymmv but the tl;dr of this one from hodinkee is its unbalanced on the wrist, sub-dial gets obstructed and the bezel lock as well as being unnecessary doesn't function well.

Does look cool though.

Ha, right place right time. Gets the most wrist action of the lot.

Nice Exporer II. Currently obsessed with it.

I believe that's a steinhart 'homage'

Still nice things though.

No photos of the movement and £2695... nope!

Is it wrong to like this?

New 39mm ocean one available for pre-order.

Tempted...

I think the ‘Steve McQueen’ model it’s based on costs about 20 grand. 16570 might be possible for £4k. There’s one in a local shop that, when I saw it in the window, had the price obscured. Didn’t go in and ask as felt that I was getting over excited. It’s like a splinter in my mind now, though.

i like this as its one of the few rolex models i like. but its such a blatant copy. at least remove the cyclops and use different hands

I intend on having a real Steve McQueen one day. I need to stop spending money on cars first though.

For sale for a fiver under 5k:

Bargain!
How much was that Ploprof?

Tag wasn’t visible on that, I did look.

I fucking love Ploprof.
I just wish I could justify it. I have this sat in my safe, brandspanking new.

Yeah I wasn’t seriously looking to purchase, just liked the design. Mrs IP ruined it by saying it looks like a bottle opener which I can’t unsee now.

Oh yeah :-( forever ruined.

Can’t get over the plop plop name, never got as far as the bottle opener.

Bottle opener is the Yema graphic although you probably could open a beer with a ploprof. I must confess I prefer the baby version...

Ah! I see! Skipped a page. Thought it was referring to the ghastly case protrusions.

Can anyone help me identify this watch?
