@Sanddancer Strongly agree. There is a place for contrast date wheels but only in the right context.

@Chalfie A good read but a few observations: 1. $4k for 4.3 days? I'm in the wrong line of work. 2. Unnecessary sniffiness regarding quartz watches. 3. Normal people don't wear a Black Bay down the local baths.

@Ordinata It's £40k's worth of Rolex, apparently. I can't see it myself but the market clearly rates them. Double red sub for me.

@Ordinata Yes. Much love for that. I need to try one of those.

@Ordinata Lovely thing. Needs perforated leather, though.

@Velocio Got to love a 7750
Jacksons are good value for what they are subject to a couple of caveats. Their paint looks ace new but is notoriously soft - mine is year old and could do with a respray. You will also have to wait - my lead time was 6 weeks. The Woodrupps look nice but whether they are worth an additional £500 is a subjective judgement - both frames will be made out of the same tubes by builders who know what they're doing. Worth noting - Jackson aren't doing custom builds at the moment, off the peg only. Which isn't a problem if you already know your sizes, of course.
