I do like Bamford but my goodness, a Bamford Watch Department watch is not something you want under macro. I know we buy these watches for brand, design, prestige and marketing ("heritage") but is this shit really ok at this price point?? A Bamford custom Monaco is currently priced £7500 which translates to about $9200.

Yeah but do you really notice these things when you’re going 180 in your Mclaren?

😵‍💫 I'll stick with my Grand Seiko thanks.

I guess I kind of knew the finishing on these custom dials wouldn't be as good as OEM. Similar to wrapping a car? I suppose the point is that you're getting a unique one-off piece that's designed by you, though.

^Yes, like this one designed by "insert here", and for sale by AC. Chrome pushers and crown with lumed hour markers make it so tempting. 🥰

Ask them for macro shots before you buy

Someone was clearly missing the 1999 Monaco Grand Prix in their collection. I really like the chequered flag on a blacked out C11 though

lol will you notice it? No. Will you know you paid a premium for what apparently is sub par work? Well, assuming you've subbed this page lol.

They've got a launch party going on tomorrow evening downtown, and based on the teaser I figured I'd go check it out. But with that photo, I'm thinking it may not be worth it... Interesting idea to use the Yacht-Timer as inspiration, and interesting execution but I don't think it quite works

Oh you should check it out regardless. Probably fun just to be there for the launch.

While the color scheme might not be fore me, I do like how Bamford has gone with a more traditional 3 sub-dial layout. It's also interesting how the sub-dials look completely flat. Not sure if that detail is something I like or dislike, but it's different.

This one’s a bit boring for my taste, but a collab is all about capturing the combination of both sides. This is clearly a Rowing Blazers style, so a success nonetheless.

Eh it’s wayyy down on the Lower East Side and chances are I won’t like the crowd too much. But I’ll see

Honestly not sure what to make of this one…

Maybe it would have been more “consensual” with other hands? Blue like the indices 👎
