Secondish dibs/interest in this. I may have more logistics issues than we can deal with. Will PM.

Third dibs, will pm.

Let's get this thread back on track. Better starts now..

^Do the seat post and quill come out, and can the wheels be removed? Happy to dibs, but will need to be dismantled for me to take it away. Small car, large son.. :(

Tell you about it.., how long have you got?! I can’t replicate all the Google, but it’s just as lovely as a Grand Seiko, with less bling. It has all the zaratsu you can want, but the case is hardened Ti, so a little less shiny, and less prone to scratches. It’s accurate. I got mine in October, set it to Winter Time, and on the change to BST, it was 2 seconds out. Date is correct for the next 80 years. Mine’s on a cheap plastic sailcloth strap, so it gets scrubbed once a fortnight with a toothbrush under a tap. It’s as light as a feather, so you never think about it, unless you nerd on the internet. It’s made all my other watches redundant, and you can wear it anywhere, in any company, and it won’t stand out. It looks like a cheapish, solar powered quartz.

No-one wants crown guards on a dress watch. Well they can feck off. If Rolex got their shit together, and made a modern 1016, it would be exactly like this.

This is tragic.. you’ve just got a really nice watch, but now it’s over? Try it on a different, lower key strap. I’ll get that you may have got over the itch, but why is it too shiny? Is it too obvious? Too “Grand” Seiko? I looked at the model for a few years, but when the branding changed, the watch changed. Now it’s an identifiable posh watch.

If you want a HAQ, but under the radar, less bling, think about a Citizen Chronomaster. They don’t make many watches you want to buy, but I ended up with an AQ4020-03, and never want to take it off. Will try to link a pic.

Has the Donald gone grey overnight?

I hope he’s treated with the respect he’s shown the NHS.

Cool, tomorrow.

Ed, if you’re interested, I could do you for a 1521 way cheaper than P&C. It’s the standard black polished, and pre the « Squale » inscription on the case. I can’t load images here but could email. Boxed and with a guarantee card.

Grrr. It's been to Melbourne already, and needs to expand.
My father bought it in 1970, to commemorate something. It has snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef, been to the top of Uluru, seen the Nullabor from end to end, and caught malaria on the Zambezi. Its done the USA, Canada, and India, Thailand, Indonesia & some of the Middle East. Most of western Europe as a natch. Watches are repositories for memories, and my boys can take it further if they are up to the challenge. But yeah, dibs noted!

And cos its April, I put my father's watch on. Its a bit better, but not much.

When Well_is_it alerted us to the demise of the Sarb, I ordered one from Creation.
Later that night I ordered another, cos I have two boys, so one for each. I'm poorer, with no regrets.

These:

I could do you for some functioning Arabesque. 52/42, with 'one key' crank bolts. Currently doing nothing in Clapham. (like their owner.) I'll try to upload a photo.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd promised my 14 year old boy one for his birthday in May, and hope that Creation watches can stand by their website availability. It will probably arrive with a chapter ring out of alignment, but thems the breaks.

Tom, if this hasn't sold, could I dibs. Will PM.

Normal Ocean One with bracelet is 181 grams.

My father died 32 years ago last month, so I've been wearing his watch for a bit. Its not big, and there's no tech, but its lovely.

Jack, don't press the buy button yet. It's "Chainbreaker-big" at 43mm, and has a black face with a blue bezel. It's also, at 775 usd, a quartz watch at automatic money.
