I like this a lot.... but then I`ve got Paisley seats.
This thread is slowly, everso slowly having an effect on me. Here in Harrogate we have a beautiful and very old jewellers and in the window on a glass shelf, they have always had a very fine selection of vintage watches.
Those recent greasy nose marks on the window..... they`ll be mine then.
But I need a gearbox rebuild first.

before buying from there, get yourself on tz-uk & similar
of course, ignoreing my own advice, I always keep an eye on Blowers
When / if I can ever afford them, my list of wants is :
top of my wish list
Also keep thinking wether I should 'upgrade' my GMT with one of the new ceramic GMT's .... although I can't help think it would be like moving from a 3.2 carrera to a 997 ... and then regretting it quite soon when you realise the the older had more charactor

unless you've brought a double red sea dweller, in which case i don't want to know
I'll put a link up to a pic here so those who are interested can all see it for a short while if you wish. I'd rather nobody posted in the forum what it is though as people trawl the internet around the world trying to get these and I'll be inundated with every idiot trying to buy it from me and bootsy will have a lot of new bogus people joining the forum just so they can get in touch. (I know...i've done it many times in reverse )

Woah these guys are expensive! I've got a mint Omega Speedmaster Mk2 with the racing/exotic dial for sale at £1500 and thats waaaaaay prettier and rarer than the standard black dial they sold at £1600

Don`t want to appear rude but with that build up I was expecting something a bit special.
Working on the premise that the only stupid question is the unasked question... what`s so good about that and why are you expecting the world and his dog to beat a path to your door ?
Sorry guys i wasn't trying to appear cocky or up my own backside but there are genuine reasons for doing this as I just explained to Mike in PM. If anyone doesn't know what it is then I'm happy to chat about by PM but we chat about it here and I'll have to delete it. That may be hard to understand as its 'just a watch' but its sensible.
God even this post makes me sound like a tw@t!

i keep coming back to this thread but i'm still not getting the attraction for spending thousands of pounds on a watch. must be a man thing.
mind you i don't understand women who spend hundreds of pounds on a handbag either

I have to confess I haven't read all the pages here so I hope to goodness this is a show and Tell. If so, this is what I wear
- always been a massive fan of Marc Newson (his Ford concept a particular highlight) and the Ikepod remains the designers choice (well I like to think it does - after all Jonathan Ive wears one and he designs...well ...pretty much everything that's for Apple)
And so by association that makes me cool, creative and very much the unconventional free-thinker.
