That’s me!

I've been wearing this pretty much constantly for the past month including going swimming and with a shirt (it's only 11mm thick).

Plus you'll have £4k spare to spend on something else

As an aside, does anyone know where the Prince name came from on these Tudors? I know there's a Rolex Prince line but that looks very different.

Was out with chum wearing Daytona in the pub. It IS crazy to associate the cost of living with balance in the private sector.

Small thing for sure but it was very pleasing to set the time on my Explorer II to UK using the jumping hour hand yesterday morning.

Purchase has been made, a Glashutte Original SeaQ, should get it tomorrow.

That escalated quickly. Good choice.

One came up used, so no way would I have purchased new. But has been on my radar for sometime and so it was meant to be haha!

In black? I quite like the fauxtina one but the green is pretty dope too.

Oooh that's one I've always liked the look of - interested to hear what you think of it. Did that come in under the budget?

PS - the Bremont suggestion was v much tongue in cheek :) Although part of me thinks they've actually got a good (or at least vaguely original) idea in there somewhere, just not in that novelty styling or at that price.

Yes indeed, yeah I like the fact they look very different and a brand that slips under the radar. Also people who I have spoken to about them say they are amazing and quality is superb

Well if you're British, then the correct response is the same as to any other compliment - you experience immediate acute social discomfort and then desperately try to change the subject.

Same, they have been on my radar for about 6 months but always thought to be a little out of my reach but happened to stumbled across one during the end of last week under the £6k budget and after a lot of questions and pondering over the weekend I have ended up purchasing it!

Thats cool, you never know I might of liked it, there is a lot worse out there!!

swimming and with a shirt

Strange choice to go swimming in

Good choice. I'm just getting back to date on this thread. I'd have suggested the Christopher Ward Bel Canto and change.

Checked this out the other day. Looks exactly like you’d expect. The bright colour and the green lacquered seconds hand did make it look a little cheap IMO. Still think the lilac one (which they didn’t have in) might be a banger.

That is a miss for me

Yeah not feeling that, with the high polished case it does make it a little chintzy..

For me all four of the seasons / “sekki” watches in the same case are a lot nicer.

But with all of them I think they could do with being 1-2mm smaller and on a strap rather than that bracelet.

Sometimes I think the lighting in the AD's doesn't help with the real feeling of the watch and what it would look like outside.

Very true. They all still seem very committed to spotlighting.

I have taken a watch off towards the door to see a non spotted light on the item... They do look worried but ours has a locking door, so no riff raff can get in, or out haha..

Can appreciate the craft, but xan't quite see the appeal of the novelty dial GSs. Never seen them irl though, so maybe that's it.

Helson weather today
