Growing family! want to move house next year as we have a second kid coming in October, I can get £17.5k for mine as a running project (there is always a list of jobs on a G), put £10k in the bank and spend a few grand on a cheap and cheerful luxury 4x4 with space for all the crap I lug around. I'll miss the 300 horses the most but 'needs must' and all that.

Anyone got any advice / thoughts on a range rover classic? i want to move my swb w460 gwagon on and go for a range rover classic LWB '88-'93, has to be Auto, maybe a 3.9 or a 4.6 as i only do 5k miles a year

Somebody should definitely buy my prince super compressor then eh - £375

massive logo and date at 4 o'clock :(

most are 36mm though - hard to find a 42mm classic epsa super compressor

yes - definitely seen that and created theirs but no date, no attempt to copy the logo? I'd say they've improved it a little bit!
Alpina version is a bit shite

I also think Whitnauer predates the Longines and check out the Automatic type....

Well ASFAIK it's not strictly a copy of a droz, EPSA didn't make watches, just the cases and the outer dial, the unique part is the movement, inner dial and hands. Some brands changed the inner dial too but Longines specifically only made the top arrow hollow, hardly a significant change.

I maybe prefer the Helson as it doesn't have the date and the 'cock' hour hand is a little less obvious, and it doesn't have the script 'AUTOMATIC' type.

As for 42mm cased ones like these i like the Bulova one too with the very retro triangle markers

(you can see in the selection above it's the Enicar and Universal who have made the most effort to be different for the outer bezel)

Yeah, it's more about whether they are significant in their design rather than original/founding. That's why Nomos smash it so fiercely - Genuinely unique in both the look and the internals!

It's not really Longines design either, they just stuck there own hand design and added some minute markers on the bought-in EPSA case. I'd rather have an original navy issue ones, maybe a Droz or an Enicar. Obvs the JLC Polaris with the added alarm is the holy grail though!

P.S i have an original plongeur one for sale at the mo, due a service (been 3 years) but keeping fine time £400

import duty and shipping will screw you though, i almost bagged one while florian was over in berlin last month but sadly couldn't sort out the logistics. I think it's on of the best looking guitars outs there too

I think at the mo Max bill white nodate 38mm due a service, 70’s 38mm sherpa case super compressor, 41mm 1982 precista navy reissue from timefactors. Sirting pics and details tomorrow

Cool. check them out - watches of switzerland have them and the lugs make the watch feel great on the wrist

well it's rrp £2800, They sell in shops for £2100

https://www.chronext.co.uk/nomos/tangente/131/S2278

and used ones are rare for £1600+ (rarely) I think i'd like £1150 given that the service will be £300 (but you'll get a case polish and effectively a new watch)

I'm off home at lunch so i'll see what other ones I can part with - maybe a max bill and a timefactors diving watch

I just did my experian report and discovered i'm in way more debt than I thought! oops!

I need to sell some stuff - first to go i think we be a nomos tangents gangreserve - keeping perfect time at the moment but last service was 3+ years ago and they recommend 3-5 years so I will factor in new service price for sale - anyone interested? DM me if so...

It’qs a thinline, you cant really see but it has an f-hole

Fitted myself a mute last night on my think line (well half fitted - it needs a spring to work properly) pretty please with the extra amount of chrome :D

(before)

my most worn watch but i fitted a domed sapphire as the plastic one was Fooked.

Specsavers are £35 and often do next day, i've had 12+ pairs done by them

I have a Bass Vi, and yes i would like the MIJ but the squier is a great guitar - fantastic return on investment regarding money vs hours lost noodling - do it.

I bought another guitar. I am broken - how does this keep happening?

I've just committed to a new turbo upgrade for my wagon (holset HY35). Excited! and tempted to figure out how to fit it myself
