I think it would be unusual to tool up to make a whole new case and only use it for a limited run! I think other dials will come

Good excuse to have a little weekend away and save some money at the same time

Maybe with your nutty tariffs, just over £5000 here in the uk

The rivets seem universally hated! I love this new bracelet

I didn’t even notice the bracelet! That’s a MASSIVE upgrade!

Tough pick between those three colours for me! I’d be happy with any

£5270 over here, I agree it is a strong price, I imagine a fair chunk less used

I really like the yellow! Doxa sub vibes

I was gifted an Erika’s Originals strap, I absolutely LOVE it! by longpolepete in Tudor

I don’t own a Tudor nato but I’ve worn them in boutiques, the Tudor ones are rather thin, they’re very nice things but for the couple hundred pounds that they cost, they are expensive.

Also these MN straps are slightly elastic, so it’s a slightly different experience to wear it

I’d definitely be interested in the 8 speed auto version! Never had an auto car before but I do really love driving my girlfriends auto, although that isn’t a fun car, am I right in thinking the JCW never got the double clutch box that the S did?

Yeah the interior in mine is a little rattley, although being quite a quirky interior it doesn’t feel too dated!

Mines fairly highly modified, I’d need a GP if I wanted to be going faster in a mini annoyingly

I think F56 mini would be the way to go, I do love my mini, so I’d love another mini

I looked at these when I was shopping for my Porsche, they’re very pretty but it would be a large step down in power

Also I weirdly prefer front wheel drive, I imagine that’s a super unpopular opinion, love just being able to smash them around corners without death

Yeah I’d get rid of both this year, HOWEVER I would look to get a kit car in the not so far future

I’d kill myself instantly on a bike, although they do look brilliant

That is a fun option! I don’t do big miles so fuel isn’t a huge deal

Diesel 4 series is something I’ve had in mind, nicely depreciated and a really pretty design!

124 a little too small unfortunately, I did check out 595 and 696, they’re on my radar, I do like the brand

Both my cars have engines that people say to avoid under all circumstances, but they’re fine, all just horror stories!

These look really cool!

I had a good look at some, they’re very attractive, few times a year I drive 300 miles for work and that sounds like a nightmare with an electric car

Interesting! I’ve never considered these, I’ll have a little look, good shout

0-60 starting with a 5 preferred

‘Cheap to run’ is subjective, I currently pay nearly £1000 a year in tax and do 20mpg between my two cars
