    @mclaincausey Don't say that, it is adding fuel to my fire................. Early Christmas present maybe?

      @mclaincausey Interesting how the Sport Auto has been finished differently, there are no Cote de Geneve stripes on the bridges but a matt grained finish.

      Still beautifully crafted but does have a more modern look / feel to it. I am guessing they chose this as part of the design language to distinguish it vs the classic series.

        @mclaincausey I have never been a huge fan of date windows. I do however think the Auto Sport date window works well and has been well thought through.

        The angled recess that the window aperture sits within is different from other watches and also work quite well in the overall design. As date windows go I like it.

            @ddtrash won't your wife murder or divorce you if you spend any money on watches?

            I haven't seen the Laurent Ferrier watches in the metal, but they look good in photos.

            If I was spending a lot of money on an independent watch, I'd be tempted by the Bernhard Lederer Three Times Certified Observatory Chronometer. But I don't have CHF 158K lying around to indulge myself.

                It’s so sick man. Agreed on the finishing and date window @ddtrash

                I feel like it’s my solemn duty as an enabler to remind you that you only live once 🤣

                    @ddtrash was that Pragnells that you visited? I bought my last watch from them and found them very good to deal with.

                      @ddtrash I mean at the end of the day that winds up being the prime directive or at least outcome of this whole forum. @Giles hit on something brilliant. 🤣

                        @IrishHeart Yep, you nailed it! It is Pragnell's who are stocking the Laurent Ferrier watches.

                        I have found them good to deal with. I picked up a 40mm Explorer 1 from them, no dramas or hidden jewelry sales policies.

                              Ever thought of making watch straps of left over denim? I would love an IH strap with IH HW.

                                @ddtrash They are great for servicing too. I needed a service on an Omega, and also wanted to replace the strap with a bracelet. The bracelet was £600. When I picked up the watch, they advised that Omega hadn’t invoiced them for the bracelet, so they wouldn’t charge me. They could easily have done so. Really good people.

                                          Near an AD on a get away for the weekend. I had previously thought maybe the Daytona would be a good fit for me, but after trying on I really didn’t dig it at all as it felt small. This one was PM oysterflex. Which was very comfortable though. I really liked the panda dial

                                          They did have a sky dweller that I enjoyed on oysterflex but it too was PM and they didn’t have any steel versions.
