    Love this guys passion for vintage cars and watches. It really comes across. It’s great to see a collector who is happy to enjoy his cars and watches, celebrating the dents, the natural wear and tear, and the rich story behind them 👍

    It is like the 1967 scratched 321 on my wrist, I wear it because it is an intense memory enhancer, igniting the most cherished or feared memories of my 1960s childhood, it will for one brief shining moment bring tears to the eyes, speed up your heartbeat, remembering sacred moments, tragedy and joy, and loved ones, what is the dearest to you very deep inside. A 2022 piece, even worth 1 million, cannot do that. This is why I cherish 1960s sports iconic pieces.

    Are Bamford co-branded luxury watches going to be The Collectable thing in the future? Too easy to criticise George for inherited wealth, he certainly has passion and is employing people to create unique desirable goods. Far more interesting a film than I initially thought it would be. Tudor would be a good brand to get the Bamford treatment perhaps?(!).
