Hmmm..... a watch on either wrist, I hadn't considered that. I'd thought about a discreet fitness tracker (like a whoop, or small fitbit - something that isn't a watch), but not sure I could pull it off - food for thought though!

I'm a fan of the blue strap as well, although the vibrant blue rubber sports strap that came with it is also very pleasing to the eye. I think it will see the most action.

At first, I admit, I was a bit self conscious wearing 2 watches but it's just second nature now. Occasionally someone remarks on it and quite often a discussion ensues about watch collecting.

If you ever watch Harry's Garage on YouTube, Harry wears a selection of nice watches on his left wrist and an Apple watch on his right wrist, which he's mentioned is for checking on a few medical things.

Am I the only one on here that doesn't go for chunky watches? I get annoyed with them as they constantly catch on my shirt cuffs.

Much prefer a super slim watch. This one my wife bought me and is about on eighth of an inch thick at most. It does get a little annoying when people keep asking for a look as they can't understand how it works being so thin.

Hi all,

Added 2 watches recently from Mr Jones Watches.

One on the left is called Ricochet the other Number Cruncher which has the seconds and a car swirling around in the monsters stomach.

These are great fun and have mechanical jumping hour movements. They also do quartz in other designs. The dial is made up printed discs to give them depth. I think the robots have hand applied foil that makes them shimmer in the light. Something different and fun.

Couldn’t resist it, Breitling is away for a service and they expect a 12 week wait and after dropping it off at the boutique I walked past the Apple shop and ended up buying one, not there but at John Lewis a few doors away where they offer a two year warranty, so far loving it :thumbsup:

I agree, very nice, I just looked them up, they currently do a very nice bronze watch. They take a lot of design inspiration from Panerai, which is not a criticism at all. :thumbsup:
