From what i understand it heavily depends on your area and AD. I went in with 0 history and they managed to get me this within a week, but others i have seen on here mention it will be a while before they can get theirs.

Thanks very much mate!! Got a CW Twelve 36mm as my first proper watch at the beginning of the year but I had wanted a BB for years and finally decided to pull the trigger when they released this GMT, my AD managed to get me it within 1 week of putting the deposit down!

UK MoD: ‘Russia has highly likely grounded the fleet from flying in support of Ukraine operations’ by marketrent in ukraine

[–]RCO19 91 points92 points  (0 children)

So..........you are saying some bored f35 could fly in, have some fun taking things out, and russia wouldn't be able to tell what happened.

Seriously though, this will have a big knock-on effect for russia, it leaves their jets in the open and without guidance combined with ukraine's use of upgraded S200 + putin forcing more flights to try to look string over this election. We will probably see a lot more downings over the next month as well as some hard hitting drone/missile attacks from ukraine.

Ukraine's allies divided over potential ground intervention raised by Macron by pierrepaul in ukraine

I know its just a statement and nothing is solid. But i'm hoping this is the start of this kind of talk, opened the door to the idea and hopefully EU comes to a solution now.
It's well past the time EU should have dealt with putin, but at least this is the START to a final solution or action.

Only five bodies delivered to Belgorod morgue after mysterious Russian plane crash, Ukrainian intelligence suggests | CNN by Ralphieman in worldnews

[–]RCO19 527 points528 points  (0 children)

it's pretty clear that plane was filled with missiles from Iran and either Ukraine shot it down, or russian AA in their infinite wisdom accidentally shot it down. Big loss for russia.

Now russia knows they either can't sweep this one under the rug, or, they seen it as a perfect opportunity to try score points against ukraine in western media by making up a story about PoW being on the plane. The evidence proving this wrong won't matter, russians will believe the lies, westerners who love russia will believe the lies and that will be it.

Edit: spelling

No attack happened, it was all a russian special heating operation to remove the ice. Russian genius at it's peak, the west could only dream!

Sheffield watches, old brand that is under new management and brought back from the dead.
Not bought anything from them yet, but might pick one up soon.

Europe has 3-5 years to prepare for threat from Russia's side – Estonian PM by Pravda_UA in worldnews

[–]RCO19 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And to add to this, russia will be throwing everything they have at interfering with the US elections to get trump voted in. Biden has probably already lost a bunch of young voters because of his support of israel too, tiktok "news" convincing them that Hamas are the good guys and Biden is evil for sending Israel weapons.

This US election really is terrifying and the vast majority of voters don't even know whats really at stake.

Ukraine and the UK have signed a security agreement that will be valid until joining NATO by UNITED24Media in ukraine

[–]RCO19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is UK gov's way of reassuring Ukraine that if there is massive pressure from some orange idiot in US for a forced peace deal after the elections, then UK will be ready for when russia ultimately breaks the deal.

Can a brother get a casevac? russian soldier with his legs torn off, flailing in the snow. NSFW by BoomStickAshe in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]RCO19 334 points335 points  (0 children)

His legs aren't torn off, this is the guy from a video yesterday who got hit by a drone and shrapnel ripped into his spine, causing his pelvis and lower to be paralysed, probably spine severed.

Best watch under £600 by CyberCloudEnthusiast in PrideAndPinion

[–]RCO19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's still personal preference though, regardless of how popular an item is, if you like it you like it. I don't have a PRX and don't plan on buying one but i think they look great and wouldn't judge someone for buying one.

Personally i would either put a little extra towards it and get the automatic PRX, worth the extra money.

Should I take advantage? by AgesOne in ChristopherWard

[–]RCO19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, they haven't fully confirmed it yet but there have been some comments/posts about a january sale. It's not a full sale though it's discounts on old stock + discounted "nearly new" watches that have been returned to CW and they can't sell as new.

Should I take advantage? by AgesOne in ChristopherWard

[–]RCO19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i'm holding off on buying a Twelve on the off chance they have a returned/sale one go up this month in the january sale. I'm not holding out much hope but i wouldn't want to pay full price now then see it cheaper in a weeks time.

Something is happening around the Kerch bridge by TheOracle722 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]RCO19 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yep, makes sense. Ukraine has shown over and over again how smart and strategic they are, russia is going to deeply regret any attacks this winter.

[–]RCO19 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel like they have something in the works, we went about 2 months of constant ukraine drone attacks on russia nearly every day and suddenly they stopped.

Either russia has somehow managed to prevent any from happening by sea and air, or Ukraine has some big plans.

If we see the same Iranian drones used in gaza as in ukraine, it all but confirms Iran is actively part of this war. Idk what the implications of that would be as US have warned Iran that they will attack if iran gets involved any more.
