Are you suggesting that poor n-lot might be a Nigel? The shame!
Isnât he? Well, I always thought he was a Nigel. Apologies to him if thatâs not the case. I meant no offence.
See what youâve done? Canât get that damn song off my head now! 
The funny thing is that when eight of us visited Naim last November, three of us were Nigels. Men of a certain age, united in having a crap name. Our friend @n-lot was also there; being much younger and also Dutch, he is definitely not a Nigel.

Ooops, sorry @n-lot .
To make up for getting your name wrong here is a photo of a 2025 Dutch watch.
1969 Deltaworks (2025) Grönefeld currently retailing at £45k.
Lovely watch.

No offence taken.
Fully agree that theyâre different watches and itâs down to personal taste. I just find something off about the Patek, but judging by itâs general admiration I fully appreciate that thatâs just me

I like the new Panerai collection, so much so that I picked up the 1731 which is only a tiny 44mm.
The 47mm watches are big, you think that that extra 3mm wouldnât make much difference but it does, I tried a few 47mm watches, including the 31 day movement and whilst they fitted my wrist Iâm not sure I could live with them long term, they are lovely though.

At the other end of the scale. I have had this as my gardening watch for about 30 years and it has been rock solid all that time.

In a similar vein this is about 25 years old. It runs on light and the lume is a good today as when it was new. Itâs with me in France, what with the JLC being stuck in transit.

Blimey. I must be losing my sense of time. It feels like much longer. I thought my 38mm was much older.
I did have to check though, I did a double take when I read 25yrs. Great watch
Here is a watch from a time when the world seemed to be a simpler place. It is a Russian Poljot (Buran) with a built-in alarm. It is unbelievably unreliable, and when the alarm starts ringing, it feels like the recoil of a Kalashnikov. Even so, I have a soft spot for this watch. After all, it cannot be blamed for the sad geopolitical situation we are facing today.
