Look nice watches on their website for the money and not from China either.
Look forward to forum reviews.

Looks nice. I keep promising myself that my next watch will be an IWC, so have stopped buying watches on a whim until the funds are in place.
300 quid you say.......
Put the £300 into your IWC fund. You’ll not regret it. As long as you’ve got something to wear in the meantime, resist the urge to get yet another daily and save up for the watch you really want.

The lack of movement details worried me, and the quite aggressive "40% DISCOUNT!" banners on the site made me nervous also.


In at least one of them....


in another.

Has anyone bought a watch from Panzera?


I've just ordered this as a cheapie to rotate amongst the dailies as I'm increasingly uncomfortable wearing my more valuable watches in unfamiliar places. Watch theft is massively on the up and violence seems to feature increasingly with these robberies.

It's due to arrive next week, I will report back with initial findings.
Mate of mine on the GC has one…yellow dials.
It looks really good, nice clear features and he’s delighted with it.

I was tempted for one but never pulled the trigger…bit large on my dainty wrist.

The Big Pilot watches are exactly that - BIG! But if anyone can carry it off, its Geoff Capes!
They also do a set of cufflinks to match, in the same design as the crown. Not cheap, granted, but I don't think too crazy, at (from memory) about £150 a pair (if you go for stainless steel). Might be a nice way to ease yourself into IWC ownership! In fact, I'm putting them on my Christmas wish list this year.

its the same size as this Tissot I have on today. So would fit just fine.

Always liked Tissot watches, reasonable cost and have done some nice disigns over the years - some of the vintage ones were very nice looking watches

I have just sent my ladies cocktail watch off to the WatchGuy. They/he couldn’t fit it in for a service earlier this year, but they can do it now. Hurrah! I hope I haven’t offended anyone by describing it as a Ladies watch. But there is no flippin’ way it would fit on the wrist of a hairy bottomed geezer! Even after hormone therapy.

Oh dear. I wish I hadn’t asked. Just visited the website. Lots of good looking timepieces at reasonable costs.
I bought it and was concerned that the build quality would be a bit H Samuel but I was very pleasantly surprised how good it was for the money when it turned up.
