I did not know this - that’s saved me $18k

I’m constantly searching these..

I use ‘dual-time’ ‘world-time’ ‘GMT’ ‘UTC’

Bell and Ross is good - likely on my list in the future.

I have a real soft-spot for the ‘Steve McQueen’ explorers.

Another vote for Sinn also.. I like the 144 with 12 hour GMT but could be a bit busy depending on your preference.

It can be done with a 12-hour rotating bezel also (obvs won’t tell you AM/PM).

The functionality of the movement can be important - whether you can set the main time without impacting the secondary - or vice versa.. in this respect it sounds like Rolex have this covered.

The ‘steel’ Casio world time watch also looks pretty good to be honest but not sure it displays 2 times concurrently— generally I prefer just to be able to glance down rather than press buttons to access the second time.

Wow - I’ve bored myself now! Let us know which direction you’re thinking.

Where did this £100 million figure come from? Genuine question as i’d like to reference this in arguments with bigoted relatives and I don’t want to be accused of fake news.

This is what happens when you have 2 pints in schiphol on a Sunday afternoon.. I’m now desperately trying to download Speed for my next flight.

anyone know a decent place for service/repairs for vintage omega in or around Leeds?

Rentable in Paris. I was there for approx 1 hour and saw two fairly bad collisions.

Plus they get ditched everywhere

This worked its way onto my insta feed. Maybe of interest to London types

Not mine - but nice

What’s the bezel dial function?

If you have really fine china, the heat of tea first won’t crack it... hence the lowly peasants went milk first to protect their sub-par china.

Is there any reason for a date to be ‘angled’ apart from design of dial / clarity etc.

I ask because my Benarus has the date window between 4 and 5 — and annoyingly not equidistant between them.

My assumption is that the date has to be at a certain distance from centre.. this would explain that it would clash with numbers/markers on the dial.. but presumably could be at any angle on the face?

Survived.

The weather made my life easier and the kit list was very helpful.

My son was not the most patient partner when there’s work to be done.. and less content than me to just sit and admire the view, but he’s already asking when we can go camping again so i’ll take it as a win.

Campsite was £7.50 for the night for us both.!

About as far from a yacht as I could be...

If the police have macaws to believe its witness to a crime

Kit list would be ace - I’m attempting to stay as basic as possible this time but its the forgotten child-specific essentials that I’m worried about

I’m planning a one-night campsite trip this Saturday for myself and my three-year-old son..

Rest of family is away so I thought a night under canvas ‘might’ be fun.

Am I mad? We’d be in a small tent with only bare essentials .. my concern is that keeping him entertained and comfortable will be challenging (especially if the weather turns sour).

I’ll be in the car so we have a plan B if needed.

He’s camped before but in a camper van with a few more mod-cons and distractions, plus his older brothers to entertain him.

I guess I’m questioning my own ability to keep him amused without the usual fallbacks.

Wait, what?

Some reference shots - the Rado is tiny.

My wonderfully delicate wrists add to the impression of heft also. #millsandboon

45mm with 15mm height.. I still like bigger watches.. I know they are out of vogue. I tend to wear a Garmin or g-shock so this doesn’t feel much different.

Not ideal with a suit though.

Loving the hour markers on that

Really enjoying wearing this - it’s hefty but my first ‘do-everything’ automatic.

I’m liking the look of this - and a lefty
