  Tragic news. Some of the tributes I've read on here speak to how well loved she was IRL. I always enjoyed her build threads and her writing. Rest in peace Maj.

  Really shit news to see on the homepage. Hayley's bike build thread was always such an interesting read. Witty, self-deprecating and with lots of humour. She seemed to embody the main thing with bikes - having fun. The forum will be a poorer place without her updates. Thoughts are with her loved ones.

  My only knowledge of Gevril is those "homage" Newman Daytonas that they did in the 80's/90's that got a bit of shine through Hodinkee et al so I don't know what the company is like these days apart from the Invicta-esque prising structure but Debenhams have 90% off some of the models in Black Friday that seem to have great specs for the discount price

  Very into those Studio Underdog watches. Not seen one in the flesh yet though but pictures look great.

  Cheers @bluehuw and @aggi
  I did wonder if the fixed bars would be a bit of an issue once on but that was more from a comfort-aspect. Shame they don't still do the automatic. Need to figure out whether to hold out for an auto on the secondary market or whether quartz will satiate the need.

  Everytime I get the time factors email through, I find myself drawn to looking at the Smiths PRS-40. Anyone got one of the quartz chronos? Any thoughts on how they wear? I need another watch like a hole in my head but I literally keep being drawn back to it.
