Hi Caveman, I lovin the Orient ray ii , the time keeping is amazing about +1 sec a day during the first week. the bracelet is so comfortable and the blue dial is really class.
Bought it of Serious watches, great to deal with and just 219 Euro. Amazing value.
No new watch, appart from the MM300 that arrived 2 weeks ago, but new watch box for the watches I'm not wearing very often.
Most recent arrival, 60 ATMOS with painted markers.
Saw this on eBay listed as Quartz and with really poor photos, thought I would make a cheeky offer which to my surprise got accepted! Timekeeping doesn't seem too bad so far so for 25GBP I'm quite pleased!
Omega Grey Side Of the Moon for me.....

^^^great post
Got a long sought watch incoming
A Sinn Panda chrono- the limited-run blue one
fancying a nice light brown saddle leather strap with royal blue stitching to go with it....anyone other than Toshi I should look at?
Andrea from Martu could be worth a shout; she's a pleasure to deal with. Is it 20 or 22mm as a matter of interest?Originally Posted by GOAT

Picked up a very nice Seiko Orange Monster and immediately put it on an orange strap as a summer/holiday watch. I did look at the Isofrane but at near £100 decided a £12 strap from Watchgecko would look just as nice!
ARRIVED A FEW DAYS AGO- A FORUM PURCHASE TOO!
My new arrival, a lovely Bernhardt Officer. Big thanks to NickD for responding to my WTB and parting with this beauty
Love that - great choice and has made me think about being more open to strap colours I would not normally consider. That combination works really well.My new arrival, a lovely Bernhardt Officer. Big thanks to NickD for responding to my WTB and parting with this beauty

My recently acquired Sinn 103 Sa B, had the watch about 3 weeks but the strap has just arrived from Martu straps in Chile
thanks to Carlton Browne for the recommendation and Andrea for making a special to my design.
Thats a lovely strap.
Arrived this morning with bracelet and Brady Sail Cloth:

Got the baseball hat, and 100 year Fortis, book, which actually looks a nice read.
Absolutely stunning! Enjoy it in good health!

I need to get a Super Oyster for the SKX. Looks great on this.
This arrived today! I hadn't realised how fat the fonts were on the insert until I took the photograph. I think watches from this era are my sweet spot. Not blingy like the ceramics, but don't need babied like vintage sometimes do.
Just arrived.
Stunner!! Must admit they do hit the spot but I missed out when they were the right price!😉This arrived today! I hadn't realised how fat the fonts were on the insert until I took the photograph.

Nice. I got one a while ago and am waiting, impatiently, for a call from Rolex St James' Square to say the service is done.This arrived today!

Some may have noted my agonising over this, as the chrono hand didn't quite return exactly to 12, which set off my OCD but in the end I got over myself and kept it, so here's the unboxing.
I bought the watch from Iconic, who were very good - delivery was within a couple of days. Here's the big box it arrived in.

Finally here's the watch, and a plethora of accessories

The warranty was completed, and dated in March. I got this in April so lost a month of so of warranty.

The bracelet is nice, but I generally prefer straps so I sized it and removed it

This on a Steveo ostrich pattern, with a Hirsch deployant, which I think looks nice. Can't say it's a daily wear because I found I use a date on a watch much more than I realised, but it's great to have something different in an office full of subs and ceramic GMT's!

I love the second hand!

Comes with the 2 screwdrivers needed for the screwed lugs and links

And the lovely, massive bracelet and a nice rubber strap too

It's a very formidable watch!

These work so well with brown leather. Very nice.
This is a new one for me... but i've actually just ordered a Tissot
Its one of the new MotoGP ones - the black and blue variant in the link below

It's pretty damn cheap and I'm strangely liking the aesthetic of it. It's probably going to look a little out of place next to my Breitlings, Rolexes and Oris' but I'm strangely excited about it nonetheless.
This Cartier Ferrari Formula Cal. 531, NOS condition, with box and tags arrived yesterday.
Obligatory wrist shot, after I'd replaced the original battery !
Very happy with this new acquisition via Dave (manxdiver).
Still deciding on which strap to go for, but this black waffle seems to work well for me.
This is on my wanted list for quite some time now and now I managed to snag one in awesome condition.
Just made the payment today and will be arriving within a couple of days.
Its the Citizen perpertual calendar chronograph, the much sought after blue dialed version.
If you want a watch in your collection that always shows the correct time, this is the one to get.
It's radio controlled and in sync with the atomic time clock.
Futher more it has so many features.
It's one of Citizens most finest watches, they have various models in this range but I just love a blue dial and also the square pushers and the signed crown. Not to forget the red accents on the gorgeous blue dial.
Can't wait to have it on the wrist.
Not my pics, credits go to the seller.

Very nice and a bit of a change up from your usual.
Very nice Tony
That is very nice. Is it the 45mm case size or a reduced one?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
What a watch! Looks great.
Oh yes Tony, i love this watch.Overjoyed would be an understatement!
I can’t see the picture and am feeling left out!Overjoyed would be an understatement!

Wear in good health and enjoy.
