There was originally an image on page 12 but no longer showing. Still like it, just rarely wear it. Here's a link to Chronomaster where I bought it new. You
need a tachymeter to measure those tweaked cars of yours over a standing mile.

Lol, nice sales pitch

Can it tell me how fast my egg is boiling or how slowly I'm likely to change a nappy though? Car's are taken care of with McLaren's Atlas Express.
Lovely looking watch though. Bonus time in a few months.

Arriving broadside, in a cloud of smoke......

Did not think I liked watches until wife pointed out I had 5, before I bought the last one

. Have to say though that the Sinn in the earlier post is a nice piece of kit and a little different to the norm. Need to start saving as unfortunately no bonus on the horizon...

$10k on a product from a company who are the masters of planned obsolescence?

I think the people are making to much of the $10k (or £10k as thats how these things seem to go when they reach the UK) iwatch. people do spend a lot of money on a watches. You can also buy a 24c gold iphone or diamond encrusted phones.
I like the idea of a smart watch, one that monitors my lack of fitness discreatly tells me if I have a call, txt or email or even lets me pay for stuff. I fear they have tried to make it do too much.

Fair point but £10k buys a far nicer timepiece...

Yes, exactly my view, but folk will happily pay three times that to have a piece of fruit logo on it

Some lovely watches here!
I was eying up a BR1 or a Br123 at the tail end of last year but unfortunately my bonus and pay rise never materialised. I had thought if I had a good start to the year I'd get myself one for my birthday, but unfortunately I've been signed off work for 6 weeks and it's a no for now, shall maybe find something at a lower price point sometime soon...

Wife & I treated ourselves to early 20th Anniversary presents (excuse the stickers):

Her:
Also got this for Christmas. A wee bit on the large side to be properly dressy but something a bit different and fits under my cuff:
Andy.
I have no signature.

Nice Gorrie.
I've got the previous Explorer II model in the white dial and really like it. Bit different from the usual Sub.
