So much for my price reduction theory. The 1109 is still one of my favourite cuts though - I'm on my 5th pair with a 6th on ice. Honestly, I can see myself picking up a pair of these new ones at some point unless I find something similar from a different brand. Not familiar with the TCB fiasco - what happened there??

Very nice. I got one of the two tone ones (green and kind of oatmeal) as I have a ton of grey sweats already. They're really nice though.

Yeah, I didn't mean that alone would affect pricing. Just thought it might have been part of a wider strategy.

Wonder what the thinking is behind this. Reckon they're angling for a move to other countries? Have noticed collabs with UK brands like Garbstore and Paul Smith - maybe they want to become less niche? I could live without arcs and tabs if it meant better prices.

Me neither! Not been anywhere near there since the last game... It's "Upton Gardens" now I believe.

First visit to Clutch Cafe last week. Didn't realise it was there, until I stumbled across it whilst looking for Cushman sweatshirts on Google. Lovely shop, very friendly staff.

Ahhh, love a Sunday stroll with a toddler when they decide after 100m that they no longer want to use their scooter meaning you have to carry it for the remainder of the day.

Resurrecting this thread as I'm contemplating a pair of the Burgus Plus 770-22 15oz... How are people sizing on these? Usually wear a 30 in Full Count 1109xx and after something less tapered/wider leg opening, so was thinking of going with a 31. Any pointers appreciated!

Nice piece on a Hamilton Field watch collector. All about the details, right? https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/confusing-fall-warblers-collection-hamilton-field-watches-found

Ahhh, so that's what it stands for. Daniel Wellington. I see these watches absolutely everywhere in London. Them and Michael Kors bags.

Need to snap these in the day when the lights good, but heres a pic of my 1109xx - the Signet ones that Edmond sorted out.

Really want one of these. Keep looking at it.

Popped this on for the time being. Got it off Etsy for my old Seamaster. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JonesInTokyoLeather

My impulse buy Bell-Matic arrived yesterday. A little tatty but I'm pretty happy with it for the price. Going to keep an eye on eBay for a new dial (but they seem to be pretty rare and more expensive than the watch itself!). The strap is nasty though. Going to have a hunt round for a replacement. Open to suggestions from the SUFU hivemind? Wide lugs - might just get a nicer nato strap? Or a metal braclet?
