@Giles Beautiful watch! Looks ready to go fishing with you

And diving ... Brooks disapproval from some people but it is a tool. A ridiculously expensive tool, but a tool nonetheless......

[Danimal506]

@Giles That’s awesome! And you know it’s going to be fine because you just got it back.

[goosehd]

@Giles a smile and a good laugh. Thank you!

[Giles]

Which, the way I live my life may not be that far away.........

[goosehd]

@Giles …take your time as it’s kind of nice having you around…I did say kind of

[Giles]

Is that a British "nice".....?

[goosehd]

@Giles you are teaching me well!

[Tago Mago]

@Giles „Canadian nice“

My baby is back...

Blancpain, London wanted USD300 to ship it to me. My answer was short and sweet.

So, @Danny-RnH very kindly picked it up for me. The new Rivet and Hide, London shop is but a few 100 meters from the Blancpain shop.

He shipped it to me in what I can only describe as a very non-watch containing parcel. On that note, Rolex used to lose a lot of watches in transit when the packaging proudly advertised what was within - Yeah, go figure MENSA candidates.....

Rolex wouldn't service my watch without the OG bracelet. so I said stuff them

@louisbosco it’s odd how that’s their policy. I’ve always found that to be over the top.

[louisbosco]

@Mizmazzle yeah they're very pedantic about such stuff. I've barely worn my bracelet in 10 years. in the end, took it to a ex Rolex service guy..

Up their own arses....

Blancpain did not mind my cheapo Chinese rubber strap, even refinished the (OG Blancpain buckle) that was on it

@Giles seems like blancpain is the way to go

I got my Chronosport UDT Sea Quartz back from repair today. I couldn’t be happier. It’s working perfectly. After buying it broken, sending it to Australia, paying for repair and service, and then return shipping to me in Canada it became an expensive project. But I really don’t know any watch that isn’t!

[Anesthetist]

@deanclean I have always loved the UDT and have several anadigi watches because of it. It’s just the epitome of everything 80’s watch culture. Love it so much!

[deanclean]

Thanks @Anesthetist im really enjoying it. It’s my first anadigi and hopefully not my last!

[Anesthetist]

@deanclean now you need an OG Arnie

I’ll try to get some pictures of my collection for tomorrow

[Mizmazzle]

Been wanting to get a shot of my 397 paired with the YM…gorgeous.
