Cisse Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm saving for another...... not decided which yet If you happen to go to London visit the Bremont Mayfair boutique. They'll give you champagne while you look at their watches. They have a nice selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Mills Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 That was a watch I was considering for about a year but then went for my Bremont after all. Last week I started to long for that GO again. At the moment doesn't look like I can get it anytime soon though. I'm unfortunately not as rich as I need to be to afford the watches that I like, I'm currently debating whether I should save up that last bit to put down for the deposit for my first house that I'm planning on renting out or buying a Speedy. Obviously, the decision would be easy for a normal person! Follow a few watch pages on Instagram and a guy I follow posted this a few weeks back and I feel in love. I'm going to London on Sunday, planning on looking at a few watch boutiques even though I can't afford anything there and will more than likely be looked down upon!

You should try the same if you are thirsty and in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been treated with respect both in Watts in Derby and Bremont Mayfair in London even though I don't look like money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Oh and anyone looking for a quality watches check two dealers in Finland. Van Henne and Sepän Viisari. Both offer at least one year guarantee even on pre owned watches. Van Henne has also serviced all their watches when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 problem I have is I can only wear mid size watches, I have skinny wrists so Breitling's are out the question, they look like clocks on my wrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a reasonable size. Also the trend on big watches is clearly starting to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Mills Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 300k for a box? Was it total watch ? It was awesome. Spent about 3 hours there in total. Got the chance to watch them actually manufacturing some watches, setting gems in the bezels, hand carving the gold for a stop watch etc. Then at the end after all the watches you could speak to some of the watchmakers who did demonstrations of how complications such as perpetual calenders etc work. I'm glad you told me about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mills Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Don't suppose any of you guys are familiar with Dreyfuss & Co watches? Looking at this but don't know much about the brand other than its Rotary's better brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
