Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

What a great story Jason! Would love to hear about other interesting watches you have in your collection.

Feroz I have quite a, errrm few....

I'm going to be doing some more features for Hodinkee over coming weeks and months so I'll share them here when I do.

Most of my stuff has important provenance or very cool proven back stories....it's what I look for when watch hunting and is what makes the hobby so much more interesting than it just being a watch. Plus you get to meet some great characters.

A long trip to pick this one up this week.....14 hours in total but was worth it.

I do like one owner watches that have been treasured from new....especially when they come with everything including the original purchase receipt from 1972 for £132!

So here we have a mint Metres First Rolex 1680 Red Submariner Collector Set with original box, stamped Rolex Guarantee and original purchase receipt.Stunning dial, amazing case, stupidly tight 9315 bracelet stamped 1.71 and finished off with Rolex UK service papers from 2008. Doesnt get better than that

Treat yourself...

As you posted yesterday "As long as we live, time passes by
And we won't get it back when we die"

Swaps for knackered old porsches that never run right are possible

Red sub now sold. 6 minutes. Bit dissapointed it took that long

currently still having the CSL on the ramps at the BMW main dealers ( neen there since last week ) means there was no way a loverly red sub could come my way Congrats to the new owner, a great watch to have

Don't worry - those BMW Main Dealers charge a very fair hourly rate

Have you been waxing Jason ?

Is that even your wrist ?

Strangely, I feel quite familiar with your wrist although we hardly know eah other. Something about that wrist doesn't feel right.

Does that wrist belong to a dead person ?

[DeRRis]

A dead person in a Mini!

The plot thickens.

Good call - I mean where are the ginger hairs and freckles? We deserve to be told the truth
