Congrats Neil. Seems like a nice diversification from most of the other watches in your collection, and fits you well.

The meal looks like it might have paired better with one of your Pateks, though!

Well the Nautilus is going to a nice restaurant next week... if London is still open...

Watch and food both look great. TT simply enhances certain watches, and this is one of them

Congrats, my friend. I'd say enjoy, but you seem to be already doing just that.

Congrats on a great looking watch and meal! I’ve yet to own a Rolex, but that TT SD caught my eye right when Rolex released it. Awesome!!

Love the menu shot with your watch. Nice variation from the typical incoming!

Congrats on a great pick up. I've been loving mine since Dec and giving it plenty of wrist time.

Congrats!! Good way to celebrate too. It feels like a watch that could get a lot of wrist time. Saw a sub in same colour scheme on a guy sitting opposite me on a dinner last week, very classy.

The food looks quite good and the watch isn't bad either, and that's not a litotes.

I didn't think I would be eating anything Michelin starred until late Summer but I remembered I got these granola take home packs from Davies and Brooks. I had one left so I opened it and it still tastes fresh and it is very delicious as you would expect, the best cerealy thing I've ever had.

Ha, this thing would probably survive the journey! I think it might be honey, it is sweet and tastes really moreish.

Congrats on the watch! I purchased the same watch last week after owning the SD43 (steel) for a year.

I think it makes a delicious (no pun intended) pairing with the bluesy and lv-c, Neil. Not sure if I congratulated you or not (might be getting a little senile lol), but if not, congrats, my friend.

The food was top class as expected and beautifully presented, especially delicious were the duck, lobster, black cod and scallops. I can highly recommend it.









The watch looks great and the meal indeed, wear well.
