The thing I do notice about CW is that you don’t get the sales there that you used to. Hopefully it means they’re doing well. My three CW were £250, £250 and £350 in order. We won’t see that again.

The going rate seems to be 30% below RRP with some occasional freebies. If you fancy it, it might be a good idea to make an offer to an AD. I wonder if that 30% level comes from Bremont to shift...

Well, I just ordered one of the old models!

At these prices, given they are mostly Sellita and can be repaired cheaply if the company goes bust, they’re starting to look reasonable, especially...

Well, in the watch industry, less subjective than in others. We have the second hand and grey markets which gives a pretty accurate judgment about value. Also, if there are a lot of fakes, that...

Yes, I saw the sale. Bought one of the divers for £347 which I have now.

Wears larger than its size and probably not good for diving...

Well yes but Van Gogh is dead. Rolex aren’t and are creating odd market conditions by producing excess Datejusts and insufficient steel sports. Shortages of new watches that people want are backing...

I've done those courses and it woudn't count.

All of this is creating a toxic relationship between the customer and the manufacturer. At some point, it's this resentment that may cause a downturn.

Yes, I've stopped rolling up my cuffs if I have anything identifiable.

I think crime is significantly less than it was but it's a problem that watches have become so much more expensive and...

I really like the original German models. I'm wearing an AW24 GMT at the moment.

That is the most lovely Yacht Master. I think it needs the gold.

I definitely bought to avoid the price rise. Blue roman Datejust with a fluted bezel. One of the best things I have ever bought...

Probably Jaeger Reverso and a vintage gold Garrard would be my starting point.

Nomos is one of the few brands where I would wear pretty much anything they produce. I can't even say that of Rolex/Omega.

They're awful but it feeds people in to watch ownership and from there, they can develop taste. A bit like Dan Brown and literacy; dire but could start a habit that leads to better things.

My relatively fresh Datejust 36 is within 4 seconds in seven days. I don't wear it every day though.

Not really. I've held them since long before the BAT divestment and sold the value of my original stake years ago so am letting the profit float and in it out of interest more than anything.

I...

Probably true. Unfortunately, I'm a shareholder!

But the Sub has changed so much. Vintage subs are far more appealing but I would never buy one because of cost and fear of forgery. A BB would probably look good with a bit of wear on it where a...

I actually prefer the Black Bays to the Rolex Sub.

Interestingly, I've seen very few Tudor in the wild.

There are definitely aspects that I would like to see in a modern Rolex. The hands are much better than the modern Rolex stick shape.

I could also wear that size. Rolex dress watches look too big...

Good call on those pliers. I might get a pair.

Perhaps to offer a first step in to mechanical watches?

I'm also a recent Rolex wearer. It definitely doesn't disappoint. I wish I'd done it years ago.

It looks like the Omega ones have a buckle that would sit a bit further round the wrist than the Time Factors ones (Which would suit me).

I have several of the TF ones and I think I actually...

If passporting for financial services is sorted out, this exchange rate issue might be reversed quite quickly.

It's pointless getting too concerned about this.

The second generation Daytona were modified El Primero running at 28,800. The first iteration were Valjoux 72 (from memory and someone please correct me if wrong).

My problem with the 7750 is that...
