The Laco’s quite nice, the day before not to my taste, but if you like it, you like it and doesn’t make any difference what I or anyone else thinks!
I quite like the one with the additional 24 hour marks, I always type times in 24 hour format, and it is easy enough to just add the 12 hours but I think it’s different to have both on the face.
Yes, I like that one, especially the thin bezel (?) of the case.Quote:

A kick and a flick…
I like that, would prefer a leather strap but that’s just personal taste - it’s a nice understated design.
Yes, Rolex could learn a thing or two from that. ;)
My smart watch just chirruped that I have hit my goal of burning 200 calories. Shame I’ve already consumed 300 calories of Birra Moretti and won’t be stopping there! :lol:
I had an Apple Watch for a very short while, gave it away when it kept telling me to stand up.Quote:

Does that say “Streetmatic”, Roy? Does that do anything or just a name? Quite like it, though. :)
Yes - it's a Blacklist 'Streetmatic' SM028. They can be had for around £250, if you are interested.Quote:

Just a model name Alex, they’re powered by a Seiko NH35 movement. I have the green variant to.Quote:

Who had them in stock Barry?Quote:

Agree, and the same for the timepiece shown in #5063. :DQuote:

Nothing at all.Quote:

Value wise also quartz watches, for the most part, are almost throw away whereas when I move even my Ali Express specials on via ebay they mostly get their money back.
I much prefer a self winder, especially if it’s a watch you don’t wear very often (which I dare bet Roy has more than a few!) nothing worse than going to put a watch on and the battery has given up the ghost (ok, lots worse, first world problem…)
For my battery watches I get them done at Timpsons with the lifetime guarantee - pay a bit more once, but then free replacements for ever.
Get mine done by the watch bloke down the market. It's only a few hundred yards away and I have to force the money on him as he always says 'no charge.'Quote:

Easy enough to replace your own watch batteries and they're pennies to buy
