    It is how an estate agent or double glazing salesman signals his success. A gentlemen would have nothing to do with them and I'm a little disappointed that c shows even the slightest interest.

    A gentleman's watch collection, like his car collection, should encompass different varieties of watch, suitable for different occasions.

    One wouldn't drive a Ferrari to the supermarket, would one? One would take, perhaps, a G Wagon or M5. In the same way, one wouldn't countenance wearing an IWC Portofino to the beach. That would be madness. One would choose an Omega Seamaster, perhaps.

    The beauty of the Seamaster is its versatility. Indeed, I wear mine as my 'every day' watch.

    I would go so far as to say that a gentleman who has fallen on hard times could theoretically restrict himself just to a Seamaster and consider himself adequately equipped in the horological department.

    That's lucky. It is my everyday watch. Also, my only watch.

    Believe me, it's not.

    Indeed, you get the bill and ask yourself why you didn't just buy another fvcking watch.

    Did you go for the mid-size Seamaster?

    What with you having girl's wrists, and that...

    Yes, absolutely. Anything over 45 mm looks silly on me.

    Except the Monaco
