Right, so I knew this would happen

Reaching down into the driver's door bin for my cloth and I've bloody scratched the Piano trim on the umbrella pocket with my watch strap.

So, I did take to wearing my watch on the left wrist for a while but the crown was rubbing a sore spot on the back of my hand so I moved it back to the right wrist, just perfect for scratching this trim piece.

Needs a new trim, and probably a left crown watch like a Panerai. LR should be supplying said watch with the car. Or maybe i should buy a left hand drive car. Sod it, I'll move to Germany. Hey Frank, you got a spare room?

defo a design flaw, wearing a watch that is.....

Do you think we could get Bono or Geldof interested in this first world problem?

I'm more concerned whether white jeans are compulsory in Frank's place

Creme ffs

I believe this is why you are supposed to wear your watch on your left wrist.

Perhaps we could do some sort of forum Christmas single as a fund raiser ?

Sometimes your sailing through life and it takes a post like this to make you realise just how lucky you are. I don't have a watch BUT imagive I did !!!! Makes you really think, I would like to thank the poster for coming forward and putting some prospective on what some people struggle through without a word . Stay strong and you will get through this. Positive thoughts heading your way. 2015 4.4 AB

And is the design flaw with the L405, the watch or your body

At a business dinner many years ago my neighbor was wearing a simple black rubber Swatch. He said he could afford better but once you spend more than 50 dollars on a watch it then becomes a piece of jewelry. He also said that the two things that the bad guys in the world look for before robbing you or kidnapping you was your watch and your shoes. His name was Eduardo Michelin and I have always remembered his philosophy when I hear a discussion of fancy watches or when traveling in more exciting parts of the world. Sadly he died fishing which if you could choose may not be a bad option. May not be much compensation for scratched bit of trim but maybe puts discussion into percpective.

Depends. Normally the non-dominant wrist, i.e. left for a right-hander and right for a left-hander. I can wear on either but the crown wears the skin on my hand if it's on the left wrist, hence needing one of these



@Frank. I've ordered some cremé Chinos, packed a case. Order the Schnapps and I'll see you in a couple of days

Readers of the 'Range Rover Specifications' brochure of 2012 (for the then new 405) would have noted that it contains a photograph of Gerry McGovern wearing a watch like this - perhaps it should be listed as a LR approved accessory... Only Range Rovers since 1988
