Hi Mark

Yes its the thickness for sure but also its a bit "Gimmicky" for me i have decided...

Yes i first picked up on the B&R from your post a while back and agree the instrument ones are not for me but the 126 (i like a chonograph) looks just right. I'm also picking up a Tudor Heritage (also very good value £2500 i think) in early September, i'd like to give TH some of my hard earned cash, but really none of their watches appeal...and i think they are over priced.

I think TH should be careful with regards to their pricing policy. I spend lot of time looking at the car industry and values of cars, new and used. When a manufacturer overprices their new cars and ends up heavily discounting them, it more often than not damages the brand...for me i would be looking at this quite seriosuly. Apart from damaging the brand in the minds of potential new buyers it is also not good news for anyone who bought at anything close to RRP.

Just my 2 cents worth of course.
