Converted to Quick Release

I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. This red contraption has been sitting in my toolbag for maybe 6 months. I'd say "gathering dust" but it was st...

commented on 50m WR = would you go in the pool? · 1 week ago

I have to agree with @PoorMansRolex - wearing a watch in the water isn't something that interests me. The first thing I'd do after coming out is take it off and dry it, that wet metal against skin doesn't do it for me.

On the odd occasion it might be a possibility I'd wear one of my Vostoks anyway.

I wear many on both wrists, but bracelets don't fit my right.

commented on Brew import taxes in the UK · 1 week ago

For any watches imported (no matter what the price) you're liable to pay 20% VAT on the cost of the item and the cost of postage. You'll probably have to pay an admin fee to the courier too, usually £20-30. There's no extra duty to pay.

Brew won't charge you this at purchase. Each courier handles this in a different way.

You might be invoiced before delivery and they'll hold the goods until payment; they invoice upfront but still deliver and you pay whenever; they deliver and the invoice comes afterwards; it's delivered and no invoice arrives. In the last instance give it about 3 weeks until you start to celebrate getting away with it.

Constantly using it for stress testing system performance.

Makes the Cuffbuster look positively pedestrian

Wow. And not in a good way.

Maybe we could keep the complication but cover up the rest of the dial?

NOT a SOTC, just a dozen outliers

I'm not going to bore everyone with the entire collection, but here's a dozen that I wear when I want something a little different. Nothing too outrag...

Making memories with a watch

...is this really a thing? I don't get it. I see it mentioned quite often, but for me other than "X bought me this watch so it will always be in my collection", I don't tie a watch with any event. I k...
