    Looking for a Chameleon, in a large (5'10/11'')

    Looking for pref a full bike, although frame/forks could work. I'll want this for XC riding mainly. Ideally looking for the newer style frame with rear disc mounts etc. What have you?

    Try Steve at Ryte Time in Leicester. Well regarded and always done a good job with my watches. Look him up online.

    I've been collected watches for a while, nearly at a stage where I have my perfect collection.

    Just added this PAM too..

    Unfortunately while IWC create great watches they fall into the bracket of fashion accessory, which means they automatically slap about 10k onto what their watches actually cost to make. This means that knobbers with a little more money than sense will pay for 'exclusivity' and shell out for what they believe sets them apart from the proles. This is of course a false investment. However if it keeps people happy then well done IWC for making a vast profit on what are essentially lovely watches created at a fraction of their retail price.

    Rubbish. In the WIS world, IWC are highly regarded. I believe some of their current range leaves a little bit to be desired in the looks department but they are an excellent brand.

    And isn't the idea of running a business to make a profit? How much does the regular t-shirt cost to make? It is all relative..

    I prefer post war modern british from the 50s and 60s. Check out William Gear, Roy Turner Durrant, Henry Cliffe, Michael Canney, Bernard Farmer to name but a few. I find contemporary stuff crap on the whole, but as someone has said, art is subjective and that is what makes it great.
