A bit too much gratuitous hairy wrist action in this thread for my liking.

Never mind the wrists, can't you just smell the aroma of really expensive cologne as well?

Those Marxist weirdo's have been quite lately.

Why do they bother jumping in here, threatening to send us to the Jeremy Corbyn gulag, for spending a few bob on a nice watch?

People always hate what they don't understand, Lenny. I don't understand that cult across the park, for example.

No problem with that, can’t wear them in the UK for fear of having your hand chopped off for it by moped riding ne’er-do-wells.

Ive seen many reports in the papers online. Is this a 'real' danger, frequent risk or...?

Just a London thing?

If it was a regular issue surely the watch market would crash...

I read those Cartiers are from their ‘Privé lineup’ and in limited numbers too but they are nice.

The VC Overseas are nice too the green dials on gold looks very nice.

Vacherons have been my favourite watch brand for 20 years now.

It amazes me to this day why Rolex, RM and AP have such 'cache/prestige' when they look like something a child would wear.

Its beyond me.

Watch theft seems to be a London thing.

Be careful on Bold Street though, seen a few scumbags on bikes nicking people's mobiles.

Maybe they will 'progress' to watches?

hand chopped of is over stating things tbh, but being robbed of watches being a high occurrence certainly isnt.
It’s been fairly well reported down here (I work in City of London, live about 1hr north) that there are OCGs using spotters in bars / clubs to target folk with expensive looking watches (inc fakes) for street robbery’s.
Story here from Jan, but there been plenty of reports.

Metropolitan Police release footage of luxury watch robbers caught as they target undercover officers

Officers wear luxury timepieces as bait to catch criminals red-handed as they target wealthy visitors to Soho, in central London.

Not really a fan of power reserve sub dials. Put me off buying a GS but that one is well executed

Took a whack at this for shizzles and giggles...can't argue with the specs considering the looks/price. Should arrive Monday and I'll give you my thoughts then. I've heard good things about it from Andy over at Andrew Morgan Watches (formerly Watchfinder UK), so am gonna' pull the trigger....low risk, eh?

For now; watch on.

What are you thoughts on this new chrono from Tudor?

Personally, I love pink in strategically small amounts (e.g., every so often Everton does a 3rd or training kit in black with pink lettering/numbers), and this dial just works for me. Would I buy this watch if I had the money...yes!

Picture from Hodinkee: (comment section on Hodinkee: Rolex has a "pepsi" dial, Tudor has the "pepto" dial)

So I got in touch with Goldsmiths when I saw this come out and got a phone call last week to put a deposit down on it (100% deposit that they will refund back if they don’t get one) - Goldsmiths have been allocated 135 of these Nationwide so hopefully get a phone call next week. Grey market prices on these have been absolutely mental so if I get it it will be going straight away to fund something else.
