$300 if you want one this Christmas https://www.ledwatchstop.com/store/commodore-watch-time-mint-p-210.html

It’s lovely. Go and try them on to see exactly which one you like best, because there are loads of options - there’s four colours (black, grey and two different blues), 38mm or 41mm sizes in each, and choice of steel bracelet, leather strap or rubber strap.

My new choice of company issue watch (think of it like a company car) is a Seamaster Aqua Terra, light blue dial, 41mm, as per the link below. It is without a doubt the most beautiful timepiece I've ever worn. And after 23 years in the job, I've worn a few...

I have a few Automatics, amongst my watches. Over Christmas I happened across some trash TV program about homes for the super-rich. One of the little niceties one inetrior designer had included, was a special 'watch draw' in the bedroom, designed so that the little velvet compartments for each...

I have a few that have never been unboxed - mostly limited edition Swatch from events, but others too. As for your Joker - sorry, I'm with your family. It looks like a novelty Swatch, but costs the same as a decent Omega. Not a fan.

Rapper Footballer Pimp Or Scrap metal dealer?

No I'm not. You are right that they are closing 'doors'. We disagree on the reasons for it. You think its just to reduce competition and increase their own market share. It isn't - if the swatchgroup was worried about competition (in selling its OWN products) then it could simply stop supplying...

You absolute FREAK.

You mean, on the prestige watch industry? Oh...

A sex-worker might?

Its not a poor argument at all - its just an extreme example, to illustrate the thinking behind it. If YOU were in charge of the retail side of a prestige watch brand, where would you rather your watches were available in a town - in five small shops, each displaying them differently and...

Yes, they do, and understandably so. A small independent shop, selling a dozen of your watches a year, and displaying them badly - in an unproffessional looking environment, or in a poor position in their window (next to cheap fashion watches for example) is no good whatsoever for a prestige brand.

You're wrong, and you're not listening. Omega / the Swatchgroup helped set up, and continue to support, the British School of Watchmaking, to ensure there are more trained watchmakers out there - for their own service centre, as well as independents. It was founded by a chap called Nick...

Omega of course restrict supply of parts. They will only supply parts to an independant, if they have an in store watchmaker, trained (by them) to work on Omega watches. Seems pretty sensible, and not at all unreasonable given that they are prepared to provide and fund training, and fund the...

I don't understand your logic here, one little bit. I work at a desk sonme days, and on construction sites on others. If I'm on site and I want to know the time, I can glance at my wrist. Checking my phone would mean removing my gloves, ripping open the pocket on my trousers, pulling out the...

A proper watchmaker is a very highly skilled specialist, and there is a real shortage of them Omega founded their own school in the UK, because it was the only was to fill the posts. There are specific Omega movements that only two or three people are qualified to work on.

I wear a titanium Tissot PRC100 most days, pictured below. left wrist. Not at night. I have a LOT of others too, incluing Omegas, but this is the one I generally wear.
