Posh watch novice here.
I just have a few 'entry level' watches, having moved on my SMPO six or seven years ago (actually made a little on the sale!).
Expecting a small bonus in April so considering one of Hans and Alf's watches. A couple of Tudors are also in the mix.
Hoping to learn a little here, and maybe find an (online) supplier(s) or two.

Relax, I'm not really Lordship material.
Just a nickname that's followed me around for decades.

Thanks for kind welcome.

Have an appointment with EP Mallory, Bath this Saturday. Looking to try a 214270, though I suspect I may prefer the mark I for size. Won't know 'til I try it/them.

Good to hear.
Were you able to negotiate on price?
One of the watches I'm trying tomorrow is a North Flag M91210N-0001.

Couldn't get any reduction at Mallory's.
Surprisingly, Frazer Hart was amenable so a deal was struck.
Bought a North Flag on bracelet at c. 20% discount.

Very pleased so far. Not too shouty and flies a little under the radar, which is a good thing for me.
