You're a brave man wearing an unbroken pair of Loakes for a whole day. I've got a couple of pairs and its generally 3 - 4 months before I feel comfortable wearing them for a decent amount of time. Good luck!

Oh dear! To late now, the leather does feel "firm", especially around the edge (if that makes sense). Do look good though.



I'd take a couple of plasters for your heels.

What did you pay for the vintage if you don't mind?

Was bought from the US, was around £300-350 after exchange rate and import duty,  it's 24 carret plated gold too which is nice :)

lol ye it does pretty much go with everything, but just for times when leather strap more vintage looking one is more appropriate (probably not many times, and it was more of a 'see it, want it' purchase)

I've had my Omega for nearly 40 years and only had to change the battery about three times. It still keeps perfect time  :notworthy:

Obviously not read the Autocar road test then? A strange read where they seem to like the car, but dislike it for not being a full M model. Very odd...

Gone for Estoril blue. It sh*ts on my car, and my car is good!!

The Autocar one is a bit odd, it's almost like they were trying to go against the grain of the others? That said, they bring up some valid points and you can't be all rose tinted about these things.

Believe the hype, but I doubt I'll learn to love its looks  :signLOL:

Some Tiff and Meaden silliness.
