    There you go Roy - just sell off all those ugly sailing and diving chronometers, and stick to understated-looking dress watches.

    Don’t worry, I’m keeping the ugliest of the lot.

    Rolex Sub is the coolest watch it's possible to own.

    TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > Troels Gravesen Faital 3WC-15.

    I prefer my Planet Ocean (and it goes deeper).

    James Bond wears one in Dr No. That's it really. Case closed.

    Yep, had one of those, purchased in 1970 for £84. Had it serviced a couple of years ago for over £2K and gave it to my Son for his 40th. Trouble is, it's expensive to insure and he's limited to where he can wear it, for safety sake.

    I now have a Seiko Diver's Kinetic, which is a lovely watch but I've given it a hard time.

    Same, spends most of its life in the safe. I do wear my Explorer 2 more as it’s less obviously a Rolex.
