Got a Berlingo model 2019 in Petrol with reasonable mileage not long ago. Please @amey don’t get a Diesel, there is no need! P.S: we might be persuaded to sell as we barely use it and we rather improve the garden with the money 😊🤓

Thanks! Not sure why it didn’t work ended up having to use a password style code from another source. Just thought I’d should let you know

About to switch providers, does anyone have a referral code for Octopus that they want to share? 🐙

Really nice! I have been trying hard to not buy one, convincing myself I could pick up a Nomos 2nd hand or save for an Omega Aqua terra 2504.50 instead 🫣

Same here! Is there a reliable reporting tool that doesn’t end up with a call to the police? Can’t find the right site for this scrote

Ok these are bolts not screws 🤗

I might be missing something, or be captain hindsight, but it seems that something hexagonal, square or any other geometric shape that isn’t a circle, is not going to rotate when seated in a similarly shaped hole, unless it is a circle. It seems the right screwdriver would only help you round the screws, and the hole they are seated in, faster.

Or is there some weird magic going on?

Would make a lot of sense but more than an ‘homenage’ that would be a full copyright infringement and difficult to justify. It might well be that they are currently ‘allowed’ to produce aftermarket modifications because it doesn’t affect the sales of the company and they actually add to the brand’s visibility and reputation. A full frame could be a step too far

Great colour combo! @sbbohr is that an H&H seat post? are those SC seat clamps reliable? can either the SC or DC saddle clamp be flipped -seatpost turned 180 degrees- to shorten reach? Apologies for the huge amount of questions

Recent quotes from local plumbers all were £100/110 labour per hour. £108 for changing 3 radiator valves with minimal changes to pipes and that was because we were already getting the boiler serviced £96 and drained with an inhibitor added £48 (all without VAT). As others mentioned, draining and checking the system is time-consuming. Your quote seems reasonable specially if they need to makes changes to fixing and pipes

It is a hybrid, hands are very reminiscent of Seiko. I like them! I'd be game if they did 36mm but, luckily for me, the choice is 34 or 41 so far. Quite 'surprised' with the 1k price increase, nicer bracelet and dial but... price doubled!

Mine was like, I don’t wear watches, I find them annoying… thanks but no 😐

😂

Apparently bang on trend, someone please buy the Seiko mini-apocalypse

Thank you all for the suggestions 🥹 I know the phrasing is very golf club 😅

@Detritus didn’t know the SAR rescue timer, it seems to share quite a lot with the Braun A10 designed by Dieter Rams @ReekBlefs great work! So nice to have pictures of the process

@ejay2.0 fantastic dial! @c.h.e I quite like them but unfortunately can’t get on with the size or the full lume hands

With the Nomos Club temporarily out, Max Bill 34mm is back. I also have a silly little Braun. Not sure how I ended up with a “exclusively German collection” but … are there any reasonably priced 36 or 34mm tool, or dive, German watches I should looking at? Ideally looking for something with a bracelet and a mechanical movement.

Bought second hand a few years back and it has one of their lovely in-house movements so it might need their expertise to get it running again. I might also take the chance to get a display caseback fitted so I can see the movement in its full glory 🙃

Thanks Ed! I am too*, otherwise I would keep it

*I managed to drop my Nomos in the bathroom... it slipped out of my hand, did a front flip and landed face first! Kaputt! Probably quite serious as the stem doesn't even wind it up... so off to Germany it goes for a long overdue service that will probably take forever, cost a fair bit and command a nice chunk of tax in the way back! Quite tempted to get a Casio atm

Really nice! Does the hour hand do a full 360 turn every 24hours?

@inchpincher the bezel rotates and alignment seems good. This is the side of the case. Let me know, as I might have to return it soon otherwise

It has applied logo and ‘embossed’ markers, as @Regal mentioned. To my untrained eye they all look applied!

All the markers, hands and logo are in very good condition (polished, not dull or with surface rust). The lume in the hands matches the dial too. Serial is 040122

Anyone interested in a 1970s Seiko 2205-0769 /0760 Diver aka “Mini Apocalypse”. I found a recently (and carefully *) serviced one in Notts for a reasonable price but, much to my disappointment, my other half doesn’t get how awesome this mini diver is. Anyone interested before I return it? It would be nice if someone in the forum gets to enjoy it, £375 posted. Currently in East London.

• disassembled, cleaned and regulated. All gaskets replaced and pressure tested to 150m
  *works well and lume is still going
  

Could it be a mistake? The information below is also in their website, would make sense that the 4 speed is 16.6kg as it is a single shifter with 4 cogs rather than 2cogs, 1 internal hub and 2 shifter

@M_V any non-trailer solutions to transport 1kid in 1Brompton that are compact and allow folding would be truly appreciated
