Good things come to those who wait…. About six years ago I noticed a Rolex Datejust 16233 on a guys wrist whilst being served in an automotive supplies dealer. When I asked him about it, he said he had owned it over 10 years and wore it every day. He let me have a look at it and I said if he were t...

Rolex sports watches are still high. Not sure they will ever soften a lot, due to demand. Rolex are due to open another factory, so who knows. I went in two local ADs recently, I was a good as ignored in one, the other isn’t adding names to the list for a non date Sub…. But did say to call back in t...

It’s been very quiet round here lately. Is anyone treating themselves for Christmas, or fancying a change.

Moving on from the Panerai size shock. Whilst I was in the jewellers, I started to look at the Tudor range, in particular the Black Bay 58.
