Miroku MK60 English Field Review
Here we give a quick review of the Miroku MK60 English Field. It's a superbly well made gun with great fit and finish. The extensive engraving is excellent and the balance is spot on. Miroku has even taken the unusual step if throwing in a case. We look forward to trying the MK60 in the field!

The state of the UK watch market in summer 2024
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 21 dnem
There's been a lot of doom and gloom around the state of the watch market but really, the bubble needed to burst and it's a good thing it did. And let's face it, it was seriously inflated by speculative non-enthusiasts who were ruining it for everyone else. For now at least, the market is a little more sensible and definitely not dead!
Is Tudor Rolex's Pup?
zhlédnutí 310Před 2 měsíci
Tudor has released some cracking watches over the last few years but recently they seem to reduced to being Rolex's testing ground and a design homogeneity is setting in.
Watch Market Very Much Alive - Rolex, Omega and the rest
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 4 měsíci
Dead or alive - that is the question. For some time now the watch market has been on a downward trajectory leading many to conclude that it's near death. Well, it may fall a little further still but it will survive and if recent profit statements are anything to go by, it's thriving. If you watch the market closely, you can see which brands have got a grip.
The Watch Buying Process

Beretta 486 Parallelo Review
zhlédnutí 4KPřed 8 měsíci
I recently had the opportunity to take a look at the Beretta 486 Parallelo and it's a really nice shotgun at a price point which won't break the bank. It feels great in the hands and mounts so easily. Once again it's a solid offering from Beretta and the Parallelo offers a great route from over and under.
Watch Market Consolidation and the largest certified pre-owned Rolex dealer

Bowman Tempest Trap

Shortlist Jaeger LeCoultre

Just a quickie regarding an enjoyable visit I had at the new Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique in Leeds. It was a quality experience from start to finish and it really made us think, if you're the sort persons who's in the market for perhaps Vacheron, Patek, AP or Langer, you should also definitely shortlist Jaeger.
Where is the Rolex brand going?
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 10 měsíci
We recently discussed Rolex' purchase of Bucherer and why it was necessary to try and regain some control over the insane secondary market. Continuing that theme, we ask where the Rolex brand is going whether it might be heading for disaster? Rolex surely know they have problems but can they right the ship?

The Watch Market is Correcting
zhlédnutí 395Před 11 měsíci
Is the watch market dead is is the watch market correcting? Out of control brands, social media hype and people with more money than sense prepared to pay through the nose for something they think they should have. Yes it's been turbulent and a let's face it, a bit silly. What's happening? Should we be concerned? Well, Bassington's says it's a correction - a necessary one. www.hiboublanc.co.uk/

    Ive tried serenegeti, they are good. However, maui jims are actually better. Compare lens to lens and maui wins. Ive compared so many brands ive lost count. I have not found a better lens than mj. Vuarnet is close though. You will not find a better lense if you buy 1000 dollar sunglasses as they just put simple cr39 plastic lenses in them. Maui jim glass lenses are the best lenses you can get. Yes, there are better frames, but it will cost you. Not just in money, but the sacrifice of the maui lenses. Everything else is a downgrade.

The parameters of the gun were perfect for me. I had doubts, but my friend told me that it was beautiful and ordered it for me ;). A month later I went to Italy. I was at the factory for the first time on Monday at 8:00 in the morning. Quick action! Dimensions, test shots, choice of wood and I left at 8:30-8:40. On Tuesday at 8:00 the gun with a raw stock was already waiting for me. Test shots, final adjustments and choice of case. On Wednesday afternoon I picked up my Perazzi at the shooting range in Lonato. I am very pleased with the professionalism in the factory. Service at the highest level.

    These radiomir base logo are entry level point Panerais, very affordable at retail but not desirable at all, especially on the secondary market. Your friend would not have lost quite as much if he bought a pre-owned Luminor or Submersible 1950 case in stainless steel, they tend to move a lot faster among the modern Paneristi. Let's be real, the old guard from 20 years ago are fading to the sunset, the only PAM they buy nowadays are vintage or pre-vendome pieces.

    The mistake was buying new. I've purchased (preowned) about 20 Panerai in the past few years. I still have the majority of them, but the ones that I've sold on have (collectively) net me a profit approaching 5-figures. I don't there is a better value out there today than Panerai... pre-owned. If you buy them at the right price, and are willing to take the time to sell them properly, you can experience a watch and not a lose anything. Of course that presupposes that you like the watch, as I do. I've picked up a few precious metal Panerai this year and they have represented even better value than the stainless steel versions. I have other brands, including Rolex, but the Panerai side of my collection easily gets 2/3 of the wrist time.

    No, Tudor is Rolex at the end of the day and Rolex themselves are moving upmarket, that is clear from their 2024 releases. Tudor are therefore moving upmarket to fill the void, hence the slimmer watches and METAS movements. The all gold black bay 58 with the green dial is further evidence of where Tudor is trying to position themselves, as it’s their first all gold watch. So, Tudor are not Rolex’s pup, Tudor are the new Rolex tool watch brand.

    Pup? Teddy bundled Tudor and Rolex into one when he covered the Swiss watch industry report so maybe tail is more accurate. Riding the Rolex tail is a good way to sell watches to people who don’t want to buy used watches (because that’s the only way to get a steel professional model Rolex…which could be a fake). I think the ordinary consumer can buy a Rolex as long as it’s made of gold. The recent releases by Rolex show where they are going…to an all gold lineup. Tudor is better value than Rolex if you’re buying a watch. If you’re buying kudos, then get that solid gold deep sea.
