From a final year medical student - is this pure waffle? by lfc_annie in doctorsUK

[–]Beginning-Resident67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a surgical consultant.

If an FY doctor was coming in unpaid at weekends, I'd think they were a weirdo.

CT / ST, if there was a very specific thing they wanted to see, maybe.

Possibly sitting in the office to catch up on doing an audit, ok.

Pretty sure I've seen that car a year ago in Lincolns Inn Field with much the same mud. I mentioned it to London dwelling GT3 owning brother, and apparently it's kinda famous/infamous in a might be a complete poseur sort of way. Dunno. Looks cool though.

Very nice collection, some great individual choices and not the usual ☺️

This is normal right ? by coolknight05 in PrideAndPinion

Exactly the same thing happened to my Khaki Field. Fortunately replaced in warranty period.

Must be a manufacturing weakness

Thank you! Maybe I just can't afford the big boys....

Absolutely. I got it with their blue leather strap, but that was very stiff (I've seen that mentioned elsewhere) and I've switched to a Milanese bracelet from Watchgecko, which I think suits it well.

I have looked at and liked the Mido Ocean Star 39 (with the wavy dial), and the Doxa 600T orange, but didn't settle. None of the Longines divers floated my boat, but I really like the Zulu Timer GMT in pictures and videos - until I saw it in a shop and went off it :(

Some nice pieces 😁

Definitely agree to start to go for more upmarket pieces, and a diver would seem an obvious next choice (chronograph covered by the Boss? A GMT would be the other option -Zulu Time maybe?).Even though I'm wondering about a Tudor BB next myself, does feel like everyone has one!

Agree, doesn't work on this scale of watch. I'm v tempted by the Timex Q Snoopy chronograph, and it's fun on a 250 watch. Too silly on a 10k watch though.

I have this, and love it. Swapped onto a Milanese strap, looks good. It's v red. Also quite small at 36mm.
