Hey guys, for those who like their watches, could you recommend a reliable UK dealer where I can order online? I am looking for certain Casio but it is out of stock in Czech Republic and won't be stocked again.
Thank you
Any particular model ?
https://www.ablogtowatch.com/casio-g-shock-gmwb5000d1-full-metal-5000-series/
Not sure how this lines up in terms of price but on a Dutch site: https://www.brandfield.nl/g-shock-limited-edition-full-metal-case-horloge-gmw-b5000d-1er
Found it on a another more dodgy looking site for 50% higher.
Do you need to buy it online? If not then I'd start with authorised high street distributors - in the case of Casio companies such as H Samuel, Goldsmiths or John Lewis. Shops with a larger high street presence may get more allocations and you (potentially) get access to the centralised stock profile. If they have waiting lists then join them in a few different stores (this covers them if they're franchises as opposed to company owned).
I think this was only launched in Basel in April so demand will be big but hang in there. Have you called Casio to see what they suggest? There's a dedicated GShock distributor in London - 0207 494 2884.
Apart from that not sure. Patience though. I've waited over 3 years for a watch before.... :rolleyes:
Good luck
@albert thank you, the price is correct, is that a known store?
@Penfold thanks for info, I would be very happy to buy at High Street but I am in Czech Republic so I don't have access to UK shops, that is why I am looking for online reliable store. I have call Czech Casio distributor and they said all the stock is gone and there won't be more :( Thank you for the number, I will try calling that. What was the watch that you have waited for for 3 years? :)

I've personally never used them but also I've never heard anything bad about them. I suppose do a bit of internet reputation checking before deciding. They may not even deliver to CZ.

Apologies. I didn't realise you weren't in the UK. If we find one in the UK, I don't mind helping you get it and then ship it to you - or, of course, you could come to the LAN :-)
Which of the three are you looking for (silver, black or gold) and I'll keep my eye out?

No worries Pen, I used to live in the UK for quite some time. I was when I joined DMW, god time flies :) That would be amazing, I am after the full silver ones GMW-B5000D-1ER, as long as it has the regular international warranty, you know official dealer etc. What are you favorite watches? I also have Seiko Black Monster which I am very keen on and some other Gshocks. But my wishlist is endless oO
I like Skagen, Tag, Casio, Alpine and I do own a 30 year old Switch. :norty:
Nothing expensive or fancy, stuff I can wear although I wouldn't mind putting a bit of money into a few investment watches.
Quote from: main;433157I also have Seiko Black Monster which I am very keen on
Nice watch, I bet if you like that style you also like the Seiko Prospex Green Turtle?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4561[/ATTACH]
I love the Seiko 5 range, especially some of the mods you can do on them. One of my favourites is the Blanc Pain homage 55 Fathoms mod with the blue dial.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4560[/ATTACH]
Also have a soft spot for some of the Casio Ediface range, cheap as chips relatively speaking.
Two watches I have been lusting after for the past two years and just about managed to stop trading for:
Squale Atmos 1521 matte on a blue nato strap or the Squale leather strap.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4562[/ATTACH]
Tudor Heritage range Black Bay Bronze Blue - this is my favourite watch at the moment, I just love the bronze and the blue combo.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4563[/ATTACH]
You can lose yourself in watches, but good ones can almost be bought on an almost self-convincing "it's an investment" argument. If you trade the watch in after a couple of years the actually loss is quite small if you buy carefully.
Love the Tudor, very classy in blue and gold. (Excuse the size, phone seemed to go mad on that!)

Yeah, great watch.
For comparison with the Seiko FFF mod, here's the original Blanc Pain Fifty Fathoms with the blue dial. All $12,000 of it. I prefer the Mercedes hands though that the mod has.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4564[/ATTACH]
Aye Tudor is great. I find it strange so few people know the brand or that they’re a sister company to Rolex. Am looking for a Tudor Heritage Black Bay which I think looks fantastic.
I really wish I could wear a watch at work. Not being able to seriously limits possible 'usage time's and that puts me off getting something nice. I don't think I'd use one enough at home to really justify it :/
True but a decent watch doesn’t need to have wrist time to appreciate it. I don’t think I’ve ever worn my Rolex Deepsea d-blue but it doesn’t mean I don’t love its beauty.
Quote from: Penfold;433169I don’t think I’ve ever worn my Rolex Deepsea d-blue but it doesn’t mean I don’t love its beauty.
...and that's probably my favourite Rolex too, love the colours, although the good old Green Submariner with the Green dial is pretty close!
I would wear it to the next lan just for you but promised Toby I’d wear the Batman. Honestly I’m a little disappointed by the contrasting blue to black fade on the d-blue. It a lot more subtle in the flesh than in photos.
I do have the Rolex sub 16610v 50th anniversary with the green bezel and black face. The newer green face green bezel is just a little too green for me. I think it’s the contrasting colour which work so well.

Had a long chat with GShock London. As you're finding it's a watch which is selling out as soon as they get them in. They're getting stock in at the end of August but said that unless you're physically at the store then it's next to impossible to get one. I was, apparently, the 15th person this week to phone them about it. It's going to be a challenge I think. Anyway, I like a project so will keep looking for you when back from holiday.
Guys these are great photos and very nice pieces. Thank you for introducing me to the Tudor brand. Also never heard of Alpina, nice looking watches. And those Seiko and Squale Atmos? Bloody hell, I need to eat guys, don't show these photos like that :D
@Pen That is awesome news, thank you so much for doing that. It would be amazing if this was possible. 15th is not bad :) Can I help in any way?
I'm quite fond my Geneva, those Tudor's look great, but let's face it, I'm a simple dude with simple pleasures much like this subtle piece...

Sublte? It has 4 ruddy dials! Watches should have 1 and 1 only! :roflmao:
@Chaos :D you would like a sun watch, wouldn't you ;) (not that you are not correct in your observation :D )
Quote from: Chaosphere;433419Sublte? It has 4 ruddy dials! Watches should have 1 and 1 only! :roflmao:
Oh I don't think any of those do anything, and time on wrist is literally zero, it's a keep on a shelf in a box kind of watch ;-)

Anything with 3 dials beats a watch with none. I surrender. :biggrin:
So, you're going to wear it to the beer festival on Friday then? We have a shelf near our table and abox we can put it in!
That's some nice watches there.
I haven't worn a watch for about 25 years, since my last one died and I had one of those new-fangled mobile telephones.
Those that know me will know that I'm more into old stuff, and with that in mind, I'd like to get my dad's old watch repaired so that I can use it.
I'm going to have to start looking for a reliable watch repairer.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4584[/ATTACH]
Vintage watches are big at the moment and the classic slimline look of that watch is absolutely spot on. Whilst purely on financial grounds it might not be worth getting it refurbished, given its personal connection to your Dad I'd say it's well worth doing.
Erm....
I really should wear my glasses when on the pc.
That pic is of my Grandad's watch, my dad's watch is a Zodiac.
I'll post a pic when I find one.
:oops:
Very nice watch Blunt :wub:
Just to take this thread another way, I've been sporting the Samsung S3 Classic for the last 2 years. All the dials a man could need.
(https://images.samsung.com/is/image/samsung/in-gear-s3-classic-sm-r770nzsainu-front-silver-61225965?$PD_GALLERY_JPG$)
I'd wager you got the RGB version too, right? :flirty:
so while my collection might not be as expensive as one of the watches posted here they all have sentimental value, this is all of them together, and unless specified all are in full working order and just need a battery/strap
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4591[/ATTACH]
this next picture is all the watches i had before i "joined up",
the bottom left is an 1986 thermometer watch in full working order. It was my second ever watch, my dad accidentally binned my first.
bottom is the 1st watch i bought in 1989, it was colorful and i thought cool and girls actually liked it..no really(remember global hyper color t shirts were around this time)
the five behind are various work watches, with the top right watch being one of the first fitness watches with stride length and a loud beep for cadence.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4592[/ATTACH]
the next bunch are when i joined up and went to sunny bosnia in 1996
the first watch on the left is a Timex data-link, bought on an american base in sunny Sarajevo. You put data into a programe, aimed the watch at the screen and it uploaded calender's, phone numbers, etc
the 2nd watch was "omfg i survived and have loads of money" watch..well £200 was in 1996, lovely alarm on it as well, like bells
the 3rd watch was bought to me the same day by my then 6ft blonde dutch girlfriend....hmm good times.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4593[/ATTACH]
the next pis is when i grew up slightly
the left watch is a blue angels citizen navihawk, bought by the wife as an engagement present in 2001, still worn occasionally
the middle watch was bought the day before my first Iraq tour, and seen a lot of desert and a lot of other things, yes it is slightly sun bleached,isnt water tight any more due to a jeweler cross threading a screw, but it still works, though requires 2 batteries!!!
the right watch was a little treat on my last day in Vegas courtesy of her Maj. nothing special about it 200m water resist, oh and the brightest LED light that i have ever seen in a watch. when my light bulb went in the garage i was able to use it as a torch!!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4594[/ATTACH]
The next 3 are when i was paid a little better as combined they cost me £1100
the one on the left is a solar powered Seiko chronograph,has a nice bell alarm, but the worst strap ever.
the middle is a solar powered Citizen watch that i bought for my 40th birthday, cause i liked the look of it
the one on the right is a gorgeous watch i bought when we sold our house in Ireland, I saw it in a shop but it had gone by the next day, thank god for the watch shop and the fact they keep larger stocks. this has a nice party trick where the light is uv and all the hands etc light up different colors, i know TL will approve as he like edifices, still worn
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4595[/ATTACH]
the final 3 are my current everyday watches
the one of the left was so loud i had to buy it...
the middle one was bought for me in 2016 as a replacement for my battered Iraq watch
And the Garmin forerunner was bought the day before my back decided to implode and I haven't been able to use it for circuits yet, but it is used every day for logging cycling to work, steps, etc
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4596[/ATTACH]
My phone has a clock so I stopped wearing a watch.
I wish I enjoyed wearing watches, I seem to buy them and wear them once and never again. Great pictures Sulky
Just catching up on threads.
Love your post Sulks. Great collection of watches and nice back stories for each.
Makes me want to go digging into drawers to find my old watches going back over the years.
What cases are you using the store them?

I've had no luck I'm afraid and have tried all the resources I can. It's now commanding serious premiums on the second hand market which is an indication of its scarcity.

I only have one watch. But according to the bloke in the pub I bought it off it does have an interesting history.
The Timix (pronounced Tim-icks) Ultra Grand Complication 1001. Made in June 1960 by Hans Walsdorf, the co founder of the Rolex Watch Company, as he lay on his deathbed.This is the last watch he ever made. At 79 years of age Hans was no longer directly involved in the running of Rolex and therefore this watch does not carry the Rolex brand name. It is believed the Timix name derives from the name of Hans Walsdorf favourite pet parrot Timix Aphrodite.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4613[/ATTACH]
The watch casing was made from a single piece of Osmium, the worlds rarest metal, which was taken from the diogenite Tatahouine meteorite that fell to earth in June 27, 1931 at Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia. The meteorite killed eight people when it fell including the then famous actress Alma Reubins who was on the island filming the Hollywood film "She Goes to War". A tiny fragment of her skull can be seen embedded in the watch face within the number 11. It is believed Hans Walsdorf was an avid fan of Ms Reubins. When he saw the fragment within the piece of osmium alloy he was using to make the watch casing he decided to leave the fragment in place.
The strap is a piece of leather cut from the body of the last known wild Northern White Rhino, a 2 year old juvenile named Lucky. It was shot in 1950 by Ernest Hemingway.
With independent complications for
self winding mechanism
fly-back chronography
10,000 year perpetual calendar
hour repeater
Hour hand
Minute had
Second hand
Alarm
the watch has 1001 individual parts hence its name.
There is also believed to be a single complication that will chime on a specific but unknown future date. This mystery date was gleaned by Hans Wilsdorf from the notes of his co founder at Rolex, Alfred Davis. Davis was a collector of esoteric writings and claimed to have an original copy of the poem Prose Edda. This poem written in the 13th Century by Snorri Sturluson was based on earlier texts that predicted the date of the Norse Apocalypse Ragnarok. Wilsdorf built this date into the watch out of respect for his friend and co founder. The complication within the watch is so complex that the date for Ragnarok cannot be learnt from it's movement. However the watch will chime the tune to Nat King Coles - Mona Lisa one hour before the end of the world. So that's nice.

Grats on the retirement present! Very stealth!
Nice . Let's hope it's sand-proof :thumbsup2:
I have been a bit lazy in updating , so adding the latest 2 additions to the collection.
I was home on leave in Feb and found this in an Ernest Jones in belfast, was 400 reduced to 200 and got a further 25 off because i bought the wife a gold harry potter time turner. Its an automatic Wr to 200m and came with a metal strap, a rubber strap and a strap tool. Didn't like the metal one so went with the Rubber strap.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]5291[/ATTACH]
and today found this in the watch shop. was reduced from 250 to 120, then got a further 25% with a code i had for a few years
[ATTACH=CONFIG]5292[/ATTACH]
the Mrs says i can have one or two a year, so hopefully more to follow
That blue dive strap is a winner for the Citizen, very nice :thumbsup:
Looks like a number of deals on watches have popped up on HotUkDeals for those of us without the Rolex monies :D
My Fav's are:
Citizen down from £329 to £99 (https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/citizen-eco-drive-all-black-chronograph-watch-3803877)

There are a handful of others for the watch inclined, couldn't tell you why or what prompted it though.
Not sure how I've managed to be a target for these ads since I can't afford these lol but take a look at THIS SALE (https://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/l/luxury-watches-sale/) for some pretty mental reductions in price at Ernest Jones.
Notable mentions right off the landing page look like:
This TAG Heuer (https://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/3479307/TAG+Heuer+Carrera+Men%27s+Black+Leather+Bracelet+Watch/) down from £4050 to a (low?) £3000
This Montblanc (https://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/6415636/Montblanc+Timewalker+Men%27s+Black+Leather+Strap+Watch/) down from £3540 to £2300
And there's a handful of lovely looking ladies TAG Heuer (https://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/2469448/TAG+Heuer+Formula+1+Ladies%27+Diamond+Set+Steel+Bracelet+Watch/) watches too.
And if any watch aficionados could tell me what the watch community impression of Zenith El Primero (https://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/6890318/Zenith+El+Primero+Open+Men%27s+Stainless+Steel+Strap+Watch/) is as a make that would be nice because I'm not familiar with the name.
Otherwise please enjoy your Saturdays!
And no before any of you get lippy, I'm not in some affiliate program lol :roflmao:
So I've finally managed to find and purchase a watch that I can both afford and really love. Oh there were plenty that I loved but, even if I could afford them, the price would make me think twice about wearing them :blink:
Having fallen in love with the out-of-my-range Rolex Submariner with the green bezel I looked for a more affordable alternative ... and fell in love all over again :D
So I've gone for an Oris Aquis Date 41.5mm in green. This is the cheaper version, the one without the Calibre 400 movement - a saving of £1100 (I can put up with the lesser accuracy for that sort of saving).
OK. So it won't hold it's value like some brands but it will be worn regularly as well as treasured.

Very nice, good choice in green. I have an old TAG in Blue with a similar look, not as high end as yours but they both have a stylish simplicity to them.
That's a lovely watch OB, I know what you mean on the price vs. wearing. There's one watch for me, that one day I'll buy, then I'll be too old to enjoy it and too skint to wear it out anywhere. This is my Eleanor.

Wow. Tapatalk posted big! Had this for about 20 years, cost me £250 off eBay and I still love it. My wife liked it as well so we found her one off the same eBay watch seller shop.
I did buy an F1 TAG for my 45th which is far busier face wise like the one Benny posted but I have to say, that black faced Omega is beautiful.
Nice, Albert. Right up my street.
Great looking watch choice Oldie! And nice TAG Albert damn, I'm also a big fan of the less busy faces they look sleek.
I'm resurrecting this thread :-)
As some of you know, I've been divesting myself of my watch collection - having sold another 7 just after the LAN and 12 in total. I know the market was down but I felt it was time and taking a 10% hit was acceptable given some had doubled in price. Anyway, now down to three serious watches, one semi-serious and 6 or so I haven’t even looked at in years.
Two of the latter are Casio Gshocks (attached). I know little of GShock's but I know people here are far more knowledgeable. Obviously had a penchant for orange!
One’s a G-8900A Orange and the other a GW-3000M https://www.casio-europe.com/euro/products/watches/g-shock/gw-3000m-4aer/
Any thoughts on these. Anywhere particular I should look to sell them? Thanks.

Secondly.
My daily wears are now no longer viable for London as too muggable. Anyone got a nice large ( more than 43mm) alternative I should look at?
Thanks.
This one is random. Bought by my brother when he was living in Chicago by his Russian ex-military housemate, it's a Russian Officers Watch. I can't find the original Russian Certificate although it may turn up. Always liked it but just too small for my wrist.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]6167[/ATTACH]
I’m sorely tempted to get a compensation piece.
Fell in love with this Pilot on the right but with the strap from the Big Pilot on the left. I reckon that would be a stunning combo. What do you think?
It would be the first time I've swerved from my regular comfort zone but what's not to like. :)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]6172[/ATTACH]
Pen
I would have a look at these as they are reviewing very nicely, great build and not insanly exepnsive so that you would get mugged.
Christopher Ward (https://www.christopherward.com)
Love the update and that russian watch. I also think the combo would look great :)
Right choice I think, very smart. They're both still pretty desirable to the London mugger though. :sideways:
Not a fan of 'loud' Gshocks but have a couple of of more toned-down versions myself.
Prefer the original strap to be honest.
Albert makes a good point about the IWC - still a target for sure.
How about a mudmaster/rangeman. Nice and chunky :-)
I thought you were heading down the Apple smartwatch route?
I like all of the above that pen Posted. I also thought you were going Apple.
cheers for the reminder oldie
Another new watch
Apple Watch ultra
[ATTACH=CONFIG]6174[/ATTACH]
I did try it. I went and bought an Apple Watch Ultra and it's a beast.
However, a few days in and I'm not sure I'm going to keep it. I'm so rarely away from my desk or iPad that I'm not sure how much I'm going to use it. I got it with the loop like yours but am not sure I really like the strap and it's the best of the three. I have another week or so to decide to keep or return to Apple so I'll have a play but currently I may return. It's main saving grace is that I can potentially control the car with it. If so that may be worth keeping.
...
I like the Mudmaster and Rangemam and I do like the Casio but embarrassingly I don't like watches which are complicated to use. I never really understood or could be bothered with the functionality of the two orange ones I have and they don't do anything a phone doesn't do easier or better. I'll investigate further.
...
Yup, aware the IWC is also muggable. I wasn't suggesting it as a everyday wear just something which may soften the blow of looking at an empty watch safe lol.
No one have any ideas on where to flog the other Casio's then? May just have to whack em on Ebay and see what happens.
ECG, keep tabs on your dickie ticker!! Steps, health stuff etc. if that floats your boat. Best watch I ever owned the Apple Watch 5. Very loud rape alarm, also useful when in London!
I've been looking at getting a nice watch for a while and as a gift to myself before starting part-time working, I finally decided on an IWC.

Beautiful watch from a great maker.
Really love their watches and would like a Pilot eventually.
Stunning piece Whiety and huge congrats on the PT
