The first thing I noticed about this Bond Omega Seamaster was how light it was to wear, with it being titanium, A lot lighter than the steel Searmaster I used to own. It’s fitted with a different bracelet too, a mesh one, it’s also available on a NATO. Priced at £9,300 on the mesh, it’s a lot more expensive than a standard model....

I quite often visit a local watch store, not always to buy, just for a chat as the owner and staff have got to know me quite well over the last few years. Of course they show me things they have in stock, hoping I’ll buy. A few weeks ago when I was in there, at the back of the store was a watch that caught my eye....

Of course a quartz watch can be expensive, if it's hand finished and assembled like a Grand Seiko you expect it to be. Some people think that quartz are just cheap watches, not true. In my collection I have both automatic and quartz, and I don’t favour one movement over the other. Now this brings me on to Tag Heuer and I can’t work out why they are so expensive compared to some other brands....

I’d been chatting with a friend, watch talk as usual and he told me he had ordered from a well known on-line shopping site, a G-Shock Casioak and sent me a picture. Last Sunday morning I was in my local shopping centre and saw one. I thought the one I saw was cheaper than his, but that turned out to be wrong, he paid £6 less....

This will just be a short post about discounts on watches. I always ask for one, and expect to get one. Some people I know just don’t like asking. With some brands like Rolex, it’s almost impossible to get one, that doesn’t mean you can’t ask for some Rolex branded gear the AD might have. The shopping centre I go to has more than one store selling the same brands, like Omega and Tissot....

Today I had a look at this new Seiko 5 model and took a few quick pictures. It’s one of two two limited editions being released, the other is Peanuts ‘Surfboard’ This is the smaller of the two with a 36.37mm case size. It’s an automatic watch using the Seiko 4R36 movement. With a list price of £330 and limited to 6,500 I'm sure it will sell very well....

Every so often I get asked a question. I want to buy a new watch, but I don’t want to spend much. What should I get old man? I always reply, a Tissot. Good quality at reasonable prices. I’m not going to say affordable, I hate that word, because what’s affordable to one person is completely out of reach to another....

I got my first Seiko Speedtimer about 18 months ago in a trade, the Panda dial version. The right size for me, 39mm case size, a fairly short lug to lug, so it fitted my thin wrist well. The quality for the price is superb. Being a solar powered quartz, it will never need a battery change. It's a chronograph with three subdials....

I’ve started this website to share my love and enthusiasm for watches. It’s not going to be a place where you’ll get lots of in depth detail on each watch, it will be more about my likes, dislikes and general observations. That includes the watch trade. So watch out dealers, I’ll be writing about you too. As any friend of mine would tell you, I love talking about watches....

Twelve particularly accomplished racing drivers took part in a three-day shootout in Jerez, Spain, with the intention of becoming the 2023 Porsche Junior. For the last 26 years, the sports car manufacturer’s exemplary junior programme has been one of the most successful of its kind in motorsport. This initiative has paved the way for many talented youngsters to pursue professional careers as works drivers, producing numerous world champions and Le Mans winners in the process....
