Re: Watch lovers?
Big fan of Tudors - just sold my BB Heritage but have had 3 in the past. The GMT is a nice looking watch one thing to note however is that they are quite slab sided however, just something to be aware of.
They also have an issue with the date function on the GMT, a fair few have had to be sent back for repair / replacement which can take a few months. The BB 58 is worth a look, it's a little better proportioned for smaller wrists (like mine) and not trading at overs atm. I think the GMT still has a 3-6 month wait list, of course you can buy one from a flipper for not too much over.
If I was to buy another it'd be the BB Harrods - very nice looking watch.
HTH.

Had a milestone birthday at the end of the year and was blown away by this surprise gift from my wife.
Thanks to Mr Boag for helping her source. x

Re: Watch lovers?
That is absolute perfection. Pure class. I presume it was mostly Lindsay's choice, as that's far too tasteful for Mr Boag.

Re: Watch lovers?

Re: Watch lovers?
I forgot about the Watch Lovers post.
Back in September I got an Omega Planet Ocean for my 50th.
I wanted the rubber strap & orange.
I bought it 2nd hand - it’s 4 years old - saved £2500!
Wee bit like buying a 2nd hand lotus - it’s depreciated & now the value has levelled out
Might even go back up in value

Re: Watch lovers?
i'm wearing my identical one today (albeit on a bracelet) - bought used a few years ago on the basis i could flip it for what it cost me.....and it's now one of the ones i'd sell last. Stunning watch. I love that it's not quite as ORANGE as the 2500s were, it's just the right amount to make it interesting.
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Re: Watch lovers?
Agree - I don’t like the orange bezel or orange strap. The orange stitching is enough for meLazydonkey wrote:i'm wearing my identical one today (albeit on a bracelet) - bought used a few years ago on the basis i could flip it for what it cost me.....and it's now one of the ones i'd sell last.
