  • Anyone fancy doing some shopping for me?

    My mum is after a watch for my dad for their 40th wedding anniversary. She's got about £1,500. Not against a second hand watch but probably after new.

    He's already got the following:

    • Junghans Max Bill - white face
    • Tag Heur Carrera Twin Time - black face
    • Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT - white face

    Any thoughts? Would be nice to have something red on the face as it's their Ruby anniversary.

  • The "plum" fumé enamel dial on the Anordain Model 1 is really lovely:

    Unfortunately out of budget.

    The "standard" red dial one (still a beautiful vitreous / "grand feu" enamel dial) is in budget though:

    However Anordain have just moved to a batch release model so unfortunately the lead time is a bit unknown, and likely to be more than 2-3 months.

    I think an Anordain is a lovely gift, the packaging is really thoughtful and they can engrave the caseback for you. It might be worth reaching out to Lewis or Erlend there to see if something might be possible, they are very nice people.

    That's insanely lovely. Wow

  • That's a great shout.

    So far, she's pretty keen on the bronze Yema but I'll definitely pitch these.
    Anniversary is at the end of September so there's time...

  • Wife is on a plane to Glasgow right now. WhatsApp message about that plum dial waiting for her when she lands!
