Mildly diverting piece on small British watchmakers Comeback time: The rebirth of British watchmaking http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36902222

Pretty here this time of year...

Oh yeah, my mistake, think I'd had a couple of jars when I wrote that... Duh.

I really love the look of this, with the white face and all round elegant design... But what I couldn't get past, in every close up shot, was that the red alarm hand was way off. And this goes for $6k? Or is it my eyes or my naive view of gens? http://youtu.be/Dtv_4BeF2zw

Thanks gentle, I saw those posts a few days after ordering from puretime. :-} It arrived today so will check it when back from the daily grind! Cheers!

Got my Tudor v2 BB 'released by customs' today... Can't wait for it to show up soon! Not bad since it was posted in 9th June. What did you go for?

I had to send my very first rep back to Josh a couple of years back - tool about 7 weeks round trip, but he did keep me in the loop (after a few emails) and did sort the issue out. I've had 2 more from him since then and they have been good quality items. Hope he comes through in the end for you, Mark.

Some nice looking pieces there, enjoy yours when it comes!

I've had an Omega PO, Panerai and Mont Blanc from Josh at PC over past couple of years. All models were high end, good quality, with good service and prompt delivery. Had one issue with MB bracelet, it was sent back and returned fixed. I would say you can buy with confidence from him, but email him first to ensure the model on his site is in stock. Can't vouch for the FM specifically, but the adage of you get what you pay for holds true even for different grades of reps.

Lovely stuff... http://youtu.be/ZoDxIGZgWek

A work of art, thanks for sharing.

In the cold light of the morning I realise it would be like being in the most fabulous titty bar in the world... Ultimately I can look but not touch... But when I get home, I've still got my reps to keep me warm... :-D

If I had the keys to this place for just one night... http://youtu.be/074QuAMCSmo

I had a chrono swatch years ago (yeah, I know, we were all young once) that had a lovely blue dial and Daytona look to it - only later did I fully appreciate the inspiration for the design. Anyone had a good/bad experience with a 'vintage' Daytona rep?

I found it interesting, maybe the experts here have a view on it http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=di59iCDPEmo
