Trivet with gold trim...'you'll either love this or you're just not gonna get it..'

I'm the latter

Where do they find some of this stuff? What is that gold and black "trivet"?! That'll be on night after night for weeks now!!

Duchump is back, selling fast.

See Mike is trying to unscrew the NOT screw down pushers.

Massive influx of buyers.

Considering they only have a few of each, i wonder what 'massive' is in IW speak?

Pedro and Becque were selling them this afternoon, only a handful of each. I seem to remember Mike saying the same last night. Jezza also had a go at shifting them late on.

Mine cost me £220 six years ago, todays's RRP is £520, the imposter is £400 on IW with an RRP of £1850.

Wonder how many suckers the shysters conned tonight.

Any idea what the cheapest automatic chronograph is?

And the cheapest swiss made one of same?

My circulation is bad enough without some weird spongy contraption squeezing all life out of my hand.

I thought the red/blue laser stuff was laughable enough, but this Opatra squeeze hand thingy takes the biscuit.

I'll sit on my hand under a cushion if I need to.

I was thinking of his foot, naughty Muttley.

Pedro wears a woolly bobble hat in bed, and full length combinations with easy access flap (yellow coloured probably)!

Perhaps he wears this

Hand massager is good for your genitalia and your rectum apparently! What a load of bollocks (them too)

MeMike just said that they're down to single figures so you'd better get in quick. They probably won't be seen again until tomorrow

Yes of course you were. I believe you. You could never suggest anything as rude as the image now ingrained in my brain

I like the blue boxes actually. Would be nice to keep my Philips batteries in

Was this a complete coincidence, honestly, that they had storage boxes on, a day after I was asking about small item storage solutions?

Are they reading these posts.

Off to have a look. But doubt I'll " 'ave a buy!".

Yes they are reading these posts. Mike never used to call himself Mike of the Masons, someone on here started it and many of us use it.

That's not an easy one to answer, automatic chronographs don't feature in the affordable watch market, think Kevski is the only one on IW that's had a watch with Valjoux in it, really depends on what deal you can find at any given time. I've got a Hamilton (Valjoux 7753) cost me £600 in a sale at TK Maxx, but at the moment it's around £1300-£1500 at any place that has it, kinda scare.

If you're lucky, find a sale etc, you could pick up one from approx £750 upwards Swiss or Seiko NE86 (inside a Sturmanskie). Other option would be second hand at somewhere like chrono24.

Now on the other hand, if you're after a mechanical (hand wind) chrono, the Chinese do an excellent affordable one, which is very popular and has been copied by many Chinese brands. That is the re-issue of the Seagull 1963 Airforce watches. If you go for Seagull made ones they're more expensive £400+, but as i said lots of different Chinese brands doing them so you pick them up at Ali for as little as £60 in the sale.
