    I was wondering how many folks on here are from Yorkshire? Would be good to know how many fellow members are close at hand. I'm in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire.

    It is a big place, but narrows things down a little on here! Congratulations on your first watch, had to look this up and it's a hell of a first purchase!

    Don't think there's that many Brits on here, but could be very very wrong

    There are quite a few Brits here & a lot more have joined in the last year. I suspect we don't notice so much as it mostly seems to be the yanks who discuss their locations.

    Sounds great, good luck with the hunt for the bracelet. In the meantime, I bet you can get a killer leather strap for it, seen some great examples on here and will be a lot more comfortable to wear in the meantime.

    No matter where I go in the world I am always glad to get back to the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
