Three of my watches had to go to make way for this, but it was probably worth it...

X33 last week and X33 Solar Impulse a few days ago - just to try the bracelet from one on the other.
Turned out to be a bit of an expensive way to go about things in the end...

Compared to my recent Grand Seiko arrivals it's a bit 'meh' and almost crude in comparison but hopefully it will grow on me....
I finally stopped fannying around with other divers and went for a keeper.
It's fair to say I utterly love it.

I'll lower the tone. Everything I dislike in a watch:
Daft size: 44mm
Confusing design: Is it a diver or pilot?
Silly dial details: Stripes
Altimeter style date window: Why?
Compass bezel: Pointless
Still, it was cheap and it's not boring. Looking forward to its arrival.

Got this before the new wave of tunas take over.
Two Edox on the way, one for me:

And one for my wife:

Quality on both looks to be great... The ladies needed minor adjustment on the chrono return before I collect them both, hopefully next week...

Just new on here and this is only my second post. As I stated in my first post before I seen this thread I am waiting on an Oris Aquis date with black face purchased on ebay. Know it can be a bit risky but the seller posted plenty of pics alon with a pic of the Oris card with shop details. Going to buy a rubber strap for it too (There goes another £130 then) Will post a pic when I get it this week.
New one in last Friday as per this thread,http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...9-New-incoming

Avenger II Seawolf this is my fourth Breitling over the years and by far my newest at only 6 months old.
Didn't get home until 2030 this evening, but I was delighted to find this waiting for me

Have always had a hankering for one of those. No nonsense, fantastic design evolved over decades of real world testing.
I really like that C. I was always a sucker for anidigitals :eagerness:
My New arrival is this time capsule from 1975. A Bulova Accuquartz centenary model. Basically an accutron, but they swapped out the old electronics and dropped in a quartz oscillator. Very clever way for them to get into the new tech without too much expense. The centenary accutrons aren't that common, the accuquartz being harder to find again. This is NOS with original strap, hangtag and caseback sticker, sold as parts for 22 euro(looks like it was a DOA from the factory. The date mechanism was shot). I had a donor movement so yesterday fired up by mugs of strong tea slapped that in and off she ran. :eagerness:

Nicely done – congrats and enjoy.
All the way from America and it somehow didn't get stopped at Customs so I could keep my shirt! Almost perfect bezel too which is always a bonus

EZM 3F straight onto one of Eddies Deployant NATOs. Really liking the watch and the strap is very good.

Just received this Precista PRS-82 from Vinstink. Although I've already got a few of Eddies, I must say I'm genuinely amazed by the quality! and would definitely describe it as a reissue rather than a homage.
Design wise, the lack of date, domed crystal, case size, no crown protectors, historical movement, aged lume, accuracy and history go together to make something very special!
Very happy :-)
Should be here any day:

And here it is with a horrible mobile phone pic...

Full report coming....
In the interim - Titanium so nice and light, ceramic bezel with 60 clicks, crystal blends into the bezel for a unique Edox look, and the day and date turn over together at midnight, multiple turns to lock down the crown, ETA automatic and the softest and most comfortable rubber strap (and I'm not normally a fan of rubber straps) I've had.

This came today. I got it on a rubber strap from Zenitar and after reading peoples accounts of how poor the bracelets are I am really very happy with the quality of the rubber strap! Not to mention the watch, it's really very likeable.
