Cheers

Not bad, decent price, a tad 'fussy' with the secondary dials, but I prefer plain and simple, like this one:

Very much a big nod towards B&R and Sinn, and my Seiko SPORK, which is in turn more than a little influenced by Sinn watches.
Still, at that price, I don't see a problem there.

Looks a lot like a watch-specific strap fitting there. For that sort of watch, I'd prefer something on a NATO strap. So, basically, a Seiko!

Looks nice apart from that, though.

I've never owned a decent watch, as I'd just trash it in everyday use. My old Suunto is scratched to pieces most recently removing a barbed wire fence.

This thread piqued my interest and I found one in the US for a whole lot less than the retail price which arrived this afternoon. I thought it was going to be massive, but it's about the same size as my Suunto. It's easy for my failing eyesight to read and you could almost go night riding with the glow it gives off.

That looks really nice.
It looks quite chunky. What diameter is it?

45mm, the glass goes almost to the outer edge which makes it look bigger. It's not that clumsy at all.

Thanks, I think the large luminous numbers would be ideal for my Dad as he refuses to wear his reading glasses.
He's 68 but thinks he's still 16

I'm preferring the look of the T10301 without chrono and with the black case.
£174 delivered from germany.

I think they look really good too.

They make a Bell & Ross square style too, a T26 I think

Mcmoonter/hammyuk do you have a link to these shops please?

Even though already this week I've bought a G-Shock gravity defier W-4000-1A3ER, but a man can never have too many watches, can he?

I bought mine direct from Torgoen with a 20% discount code that was flying around the internet.

The face style of the 10301 is remarkably like this:

Still, a nice, uncluttered, good looking watch.

more than a little influenced by Sinn watches.

Love Sinn watches. I will own a U2 Meisterbund III one day.

You'd better check with MrsFry et al that the price point of your desired timepiece doesn't elevate you in to massive **** category 🙂

I like it though - nice watch. I like those U2's also...

After looking at this thread, I'm seeing adverts for 30% off sale on the Torgoen store.
