Beautiful day! What's not to like about titanium and an L5100 worn while driving a drop top down a country road. Other than the obligatory entry to the watch cliche hall of fame of course......

Lovely, thank you
Excellent, thank you. So it should be the 344?
My Monnin cased 980 stopped last night, I assumed time for a battery change. I thought I had some spares and had at some point made a note in my diary that it takes a Renata 344 (SR1136SW) but I was...
It always used to make me cringe when the watch was sat on something abrasive like a rock, or on the sand.
Likewise, any photo that includes feet or (even worse) toes. Yuck!
End of DIY day, so the trusty Seiko about to be changed...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240503/a203838ed878a89b4a99609fa6469d84.jpg
Ok, I'll play. Potential for two more changes before tomorrow evening/tonight. TH Super Professional. Weighty on the wrist, monocoque case which feels hewn out of a meteorite but one of the best...
Griffith 500SE, but yes
Old photo, but it is very definitely still here. Went back to Frankfurt a couple of years ago for battery etc (took nearly 6 months!), but remains one of my favourites. I'm not letting it go, sorry...
Final trio? Believe it when I see it! But lovely and I'll stake my place in the queue if/when you sell any of them on (especially the UX, as likewise a fan of oil-filled watches).
Still chilly for spring, but the bluebells don't seem to mind. Tutima Di-300 today - nothing like the warmth of...
I have an Omega de Ville quartz date from the 1990s which I inherited. It has a 1337 module and it is almost impossible to find a replacement without butchering another watch as Omega no longer...
Sushi Samba, on the 39th floor of the Heron Tower. Japanese/Venezuelan fusion plus great cocktails and a view to boot. It's a fun place to go
I use a tube of concrete repair and mastic gun. Fill the hole then push in the rawl plug and leave it to set. Gives a very solid repair
Thought it looked wrong. That's a limited edition which came out in about 2011. Doh!
Sinn 144 St S Jubilee? Virtually identical. Jura advertise them for £1900 (not sure they've got that right)
I keep boxes and papers even for those that I know are keepers. When the time comes, I shall pass them on to my children as complete sets. Most of them don't know how to wind up and set a watch so...
For all you claustrophobia sufferers, we have an open/upright MRI machine in one of our London sites. It's quite impressive although nothing like as powerful as the one linked by the OP. There are a...
I tried its predecessor, the titanium version, at Heathrow when it was first released and was blown away. The most incredible watch I had ever worn. It has been a grail ever since. Supremely light...
Great! What they should have done with the previous model. I think my only gripes would be that I would have preferred manual wind rather than auto, and at the price of the last re-issue you might be...
Seems appropriate for a wet day at Suzuka. Gorgeous George, along with the RBR crew and Aston Martin didn't venture out of the garage for FP2. Come on, it was a slight drizzle! It was a fairly poor...
The only GMT anyone needs is a Casio G-Shock with world time, and that's the only watch I would travel with anyway (being gassed and robbed is a very sobering experience). Otherwise it's just another...
Only bananas look good in yellow. Watches and cars not so much.
Must admit that I really didn't check the prices too carefully as they were all 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 Yen! Casio's are about 10-15% cheaper than the UK and the Tissot PRX powermatic 80 worked out at...
£11 in an electronics discount store in Tokyo, where I also...
