What time is it? Watches and horology

Why try and climb Alpe d'Huez when Box Hill is there? Or drive a Veyron when a Volvo will get you there?

The Opus X dial is all froth and unwearable, and is also progress.

But I do agree, bad magicians are the worst.

A 49mm watch is going to look ridiculous on 75% of wrists, unless you like the Russian 'business associate' look.

Woofters!

Just shy of 8"

I'd love a Railmaster, but they're a bit spendy...
