  • As an influencer do you get a straight fee or commish? ;)

  • I sent Charlie Fowler (the owner) a message on Instagram a few months ago and he never replied.

    Was only pointing out that the crown tube could do with a tiny smear of grease. Perhaps he took offence.

  • Or thought it was a euphemism and blocked you.

  • Never said they didn’t, but actual genuine opinions do count. Also, did you forget to send the smiley winky face on the insta dm? Maybe that’s why you didn’t get a reply.

  • The white one is pretty cool;

    But I do prefer the internal bezel one you posted. Something about the combination of sparsity and a lot of numbers on the OG doesn't quite work for me. I'd like either a bit more or a bit less, if that makes sense.

  • Minimum would be Signed-For

    Just FYI according to the grumpy RM clerk, Signed-For service does not cover watches & jewellery.

  • Giz a shout if you're up for buying my Model 1. It's a great watch, I just don't wear it for the above wonky-eyed reasons. Black face, silver case, cognac strap, like this:

  • In more aspirational browsing I came across what might be the best dual time watch, I've seen.

    (apologies in advance to Soul who will be triggered by the numerals ;)

  • That is sensational

  • Watch blogs always gush over Lange, but seriously, how on point is that?

    • clear layout.
    • Goldilocks sizing.
    • Hidden 2nd hour hand - without doubt the best way to display another TZ
    • Quick set pushers.
    • beautiful finishing.

    I also love that they've effortlessly added a GMT function, that is barely noticeable.

  • FFS.

    Stunning watch ruined by inconsistent numerals.

    Wankers.

  • You know that theory that it's actually Liam Neeson who is the bad guy in Taken? Or the Mitchell and Webb sketch, "are we the bad guys"?

    That's you.

  • @BleakRefs interested! Will PM

  • £23k for that dual-time A. Lange & Sohne

  • Ha. No your a cunt etc.

    If you are looking for a watch, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of OCD requirements; requirements I have acquired over a very long career. Requirements that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you post a no numeral Calatrava now, that'll be the end of it.

  • For reals? Wow, good job I’ve always sent by SD and factored it into the price. I’d have sent a bomber by signed-for, but not much else.

  • Secretly @Stonehedge is their major shareholder.

  • I see your lange and raise you an IWC

  • Maratec SR1

  • aspirational browsing

    Although idk how well they hold their value, as the older version seems to be between €10-15k used.

    Still it's not something I'm going to have to worry about for a long time, if ever.

    It just stood in such contrast to the latest PP dual-time offerings, all of which have been fucked up in some way my their marketing departments input.

    @Soul ;)

  • raise

  • It was a decent price that one. Needed an original hand set and crown though.

  • £12 inc free postage and spring bars? And through my door the next day... best money I’ve spent in a long time, ta @Stonehedge

    Also cleaning out all the wrist cheese from between the lugs 🤤

  • (fryface) I will equal your offering and up the ante with this offering...

    Unless you're making a base joke... Which I can appreciate.

  • Thanks for the offer. It's nice but if I'm going to do it I'll probably contact them direct to see if I can get a triple black version a la Teenslain style.
