T H Baker have some 20% off

I saw a couple videos on social meeja of people getting jumped at the barbers, kinda put the shits up me tbh. Not that I'll ever own a £20k rolex but if I'm wearing something that looks like it might be worth a bit I don't want to have to fear for my life. Puts me off even wanting to own a rolex-alike.

A mate of mine sold his Pepsi and Batman because they're too obvious now and feels paranoid about wearing them out in town (Crawley) I'm in Brighton and a guy got mugged at a local festival this summer for a £500 homage

I got mugged in Hackney for a £200 Seiko once. Not fun.

I can help with dolce vita at “ forum price “ new .
And I have that one in stock.

Thanks ejay, PM on the way

The Longines Hoodwinkee collab is a 39mm titanium Zulu Time GMT. They've put an old school logo on it and moved the date window to 3 o'clock. Dang. Actually seems… really good. Like the watch the Black Bay Pro should have been.

My eldest was relieved of his very snide Rollie in that London town a while back.

Quite nice & roughly 1K cheaper than a Pelagos

A break from the G Shocks; Sea Urchins hold a special place in my collection

Is it me or is the triangle marker out of alignment on the leading image?

Cool though. Guess you'd pay import duty if you were mad enough to buy one.

Great looking watch but a real hard sell at that price when a non GMT Spirit 37mm can be had for like $1600-1700 right now.

It was always going to be expensive. Doing small runs in titanium is a pain even for a company the size of Longines. Plus Hoodwinkee tax.

There’s a few images it looks out of alignment on. Couldn’t be a non-click / friction bezel could it? I don’t know how the regular ones are.

It’s about $400 cheaper than the Black Bay Pro so basically the same money, comparable spec and the same size. Except it’s titanium.

Shame they couldn’t make it 12mm thick.

Casio are rereleasing Casiotron for its 50th anniversary next year.
Only gonna be 4000 made

is it me or does the finish look a bit shit (even for a rep)? edges and crown etc look a bit scuffed/unfinished

Fuck, Crawley that bad?? Been there a few years back as have good friends in Horsham.

Not that I have but I wouldn't pub crawl / festival / clubbing a rolei or similar.

G Shock ery time.

He has a team of young people on mopeds tearing around the streets snatching watches off people, while wielding machetes.

What a time to be alive eh

I love the old logo. Class.
