  I’d like the SPA-2 please. What are the details for post/collection? Reread first page but didn’t find it, sorry if I missed it.

  True, it takes 2x5 minutes, but you just leave it there on its own. Compare to a V60 where you have to pour clockwise for 20s, wait 1 minute, pour anti-clockwise for 20s, wait 1 minute, etc.

  @Bainbridge aha! Funny that you actually don't press when doing a Hoffman French press.

  I like a French press done with the Hoffman method in the morning. Easy and leaves lots of time to attend more pressing matters.

  Speaking of... back on the bracelet as the strap gets in the wash. I like it better than the first time round.

  I use the diving bezel quite often on my watch to time various things, if I had a chrono I'd use it I think. What got me thinking about that is that I thought I'd want one with an hour register to time long stuff, eg proving times when making bread. A slight alteration in the watch's characteristics might not be much over a few minutes, but over a few hours it could become noticeable.

  I see, thanks. Do you have an example in mind of a watch where having the chrono running extends the power reserve? (I find it a bit counter intuitive but what do I know)

  W&W had a review of the Lorier Falcon 2 the other day. Thought it’s nice and it comes in white. 36mm as well / though.

  I'm wondering, on a mechanical/auto chrono, when the chrono function is engaged, does it alter other characteristics of the watch? Like power reserve and time keeping. My reasoning being that it's another bunch of wheels to turn, that wouldn't be in motion normally?
