My grandfather had a pinball machine in his house, which would provide endless hours of entertainment for us kids during family gatherings - this fun addition of yours hits right in my heart. Over to the DB, and I have no words, absolutely stunning. Congrats on the achieved grail, and hope they both bring years of health and happiness.

Last week, I took delivery of my grail watch - the De Bethune DB8 monopusher chronograph, a watch I truly love. But in the same week, I also added another watch to my collection which is at the other end of the spectrum. Mr Jones Watches is a London based...  

Thanks Nico!

Your Ricochet watch is playful and colorful: Ryan Claytor has done a good job designing these metallic robots playing pinball! And the fact that the hour is displayed on the scoreboard of the game is clever. But I have to be honest: the DB8 sings a differ... 

Thank you for your reply!

Yes the DB8 if of course at a different level and so it should be all things considered. The Mr Jones is a fun watch and perhaps slightly unbecoming for its 60 year old wearer!

Oh, you are too kind!

I hope these two will remain in my small collection forever.

Here are the correct photos Nico! :-)

I actually quite like the strap too! ...  

Thanks Nico!

For under 300 euros, I see few better buys but then again, it was Black Friday!

Looks like a great and fun watch .

Never saw one in person before. Hope one day

I ordered it blindly from the internet

something I usually try avoid doing but Black Friday makes you do crazy things!

Haha brave and fun move 😜👌🏻

At under 300 euros, it was less risky

and if I did not like it, my son would have been the lucky beneficiary. Unfortunately for him, I love it!

😁👍🏻

Both are pieces of art, just very different ones. congrats!

Have never heard of Mr. Jones watches before, thanks for the introduction.

You are welcome!

Do take a look at their website. I have little doubt that you will find something that you like.

Thank you for the comments on both watches!

You should definitely get yourself a Mr Jones for yourself! as for the DB, I have no words either!

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

 
 By: sham1 : December 13th, 2023-16:16
I shall enjoy both

Your words flatter me, thank you!

I try to keep as open a mind as possible when collecting watches even though the non existence of a Rolex or a single sports watch in my small collection (eight watches!) would dispute this fact.

Great pics

I am glad you did!

Thank you very much for saying so!

I love them both to the extent where I am trying to cancel an order for an incoming watch!
