Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there
Anyone 40 this year?
Or just after one of the best watches you will find?

I have had ATGs on both my Monaco and Carrera for a number of years, and can vouch for their general quality, fit, and appropriate Heuer matching style. Along with Jurgens on my IWC, they are excellent. Neko.Mike wrote:ATG it is then, thanks.Bootsy wrote:very good straps.

I managed to get the damage on the lume plots professionally removed and leave most of the original lume all in place. Looks great now.left4dead wrote:964RS wrote:...after one of the best watches you will find?

Get it back tomorrow and have an expensive vintage brown leather on it's way for it.
Will probably put it back on the site but it is so cool in the sun, dial is like brown leather.
We will see Steve...got a flight booked at end of week to go and see something very special so fingers crossed!

Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there
I know I'm a bit of a watch 'philistine' but that Rolex (or any other Rolex I've seen) does nothing for me ...

loving them both, but especially the red Jason I need a '73 though for my 40th
Andy, the love creeps up on you The sports Rolex's are a classic design, which have subtle design differences & evolution .. a bit like the 911

Just picked this beast up from having a new inner tachy bezel fitted
A little bit of wear to the dial but these Mark 3 Speedmasters really have presence due to the big cases

I've had a stunning all blue mk3 but just didn't have big enough wrists for it, Thomas seems to do it easy though

Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there
Funny thing is I would be the last person in the world to ever consider a Rolex but I have recently become quite addicted to the thought of one.... They're suddenly becoming quite alluring although I can't quite work out the reasoning behind the change of thought.hot66 wrote:Andy, the love creeps up on you
Jason's mostly to blame, I reckon. Damn him and his lovely photos.

I've a 1501 that I've had for 30 years. Not a collector type watch or anything but it's great. It's a watch for all occasions
