    Mesh can be bit and miss, but if it's like the one I had on a couple of Breitlings before, they are seriously comfortable.
    I'd agree for almost any watch except Breitlings for some reason it just works.

    Singapore via DHL, arrived in 12 working. Sent them a message via online chat after about 8 days as delivery status had not updated on tracking link for some reason. Had instant reply plus an email 5 mins later with a link to order and current delivery status.

    How come you're putting in offers on that 114270 on adverts then?

    Come on, admit it. Your 214270 is too big for your wrists :pac: :D:p

    The 39mm is the perfect size for my wrist but the dimensions of the actually watch look a bit off. I think 36mm is beautifully proportioned. So I might have both and drastically reduced my collection size.

    I thought, what with it being the end of the World and all that, I'd break 'er out for the day. May as well die stylish.

    I'll be honest and paraphrase Fr. Ted. That money was just resting in my account. Can't see a mortgage coming for a long while and whilst I probably won't make profits on either, they won't go down in price too much I reckon. Been saving for years. Always wanted a Speedy, Rolex came at a good price.

    That's what it's all about, isn't it. I really like my Bulova "Moonwatch" and I paid €375 for it new. Has barely lost a second over the time I've had it, amazing.

    Now that is a very manly watch. Any details of the model, where did you buy it?

    Tudor ranger.

    It's fulfilled my itch for an explorer type watch. Bought from adverts.

    How long have you had it?

    The modern version, unlike the original, has a quartz movement.

    I had a Mako XL, sold it to one of out fellow parishioners. Quality watches.

    Aye, I know. Still, a lot of bag for the buck. It's the quartz one alright.

    If you want a watch that's in some way related to one that's been on the moon then compared to others like the Omega Speedmaster it is a 'lot of bang for the buck' but if you're not bothered then it isn't. Depends on the outlook of each individual watch owner/buyer. You're obviously very happy with it which is all that matters.

    It's a nice looking watch and the pushers are cool. Have you got a photo of yours?

    The first time I saw a GS in the flesh I was stunned by the quality of the dial and hands. I was able to compare the three at the same time and even without a loupe it was ahead of the Omega and Rolex models on show.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
