Thank you Paul!
I traded with another collector, very good&original condition bar those 2 spots on the bezel insert.

Nicely done Jack!
I know you've only just got it but do let me know if you ever get tired of it because it would go nicely with this one...

All the best,
Paul
My new found love of Casio digitals has swiftly escalated from a F-91W to a GW-M5610 via the Attenborough inspired AW-80 World Time. I'm loving the 5610 so far. I was concerned that the G-Shock may be too big but there is space between the end of the 'lugs' and the edge of my wrist so size wise it's fine (although I wouldn't want to go any bigger). It isn't bulky either so that helps. I love the red line around the dial and the white writing on the bezel area makes the design interesting. Shame it can't do simultaneous display of time and stopwatch or countdown timer but I was aware of this before I bought it. I'm loving the tech and the radio controlled atomic time sync really appeals to my inner geek (and timing ocd). I'll be using this to set my other watches. At RRP I'd be happy but at significantly less via SC (thanks again Karl!!) this is a bargain. Not sure where to go next with Quartz but I am looking at the latest 34mm Swatch Watches!

Congratulations.
Thought so. I went down the 422 route as I love the power reserve indicator on the back but I love the uncluttered dial on the 372. Enjoy it.

Got another Orient Saturation in the collection.
Always loved the incredible lume.....

I've had this almost a week now and I'm looking at most of the rest of the collection and thinking...when am I ever going to wear them?

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.

Then an inner box

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 just received this from Paul Scurfield. Unboxed today and swapped it straight onto an Isofrane strap. I just love the story behind these - Paul is a working commercial diver and has made his own range of watches, in tiny volumes. This 'Bell Diver 1" is his latest design, tested himself from 151 metres on working decompression dives.
Pretty hefty piece at 43mm. Wonderful matt finish on case with mirror polished bevel facet edges. Heliox pressure escape valve, ceramic bezel, domed sapphire crystal, uber-bright blue Superluminova on dial, hands and bezel. Amazing achievement and incredible value for money. Thanks Paul & Alison.

A couple of rare incomings (as in, it's rare that I buy, not that the pieces are particularly scarce):

And an SBGF017:

One of the few GS outside the divers that is both 200m WR and equipped with lume. On this model, you get a subtly textured dial and nice capped seconds hand too.
The 7-jeweled 8J56 movement offers a quick-set hour hand and is accurate to about 20 seconds a year. It looks like this naked (not my pictures):

Looks great on croc.
Contrary to the TZUK popular vote, I really don't think the speedy looks good on leather - well, that was until I saw this - it looks great, really great and I'll be looking into getting a strap like this.
Is it OEM or aftermarket? And what buckle are you using?
Great choice!
Thanks, it was the blue lacquer dial that drew me to it, poorly visible in my photos but rather alluring in real life. There is a bit more information, and better pictures, here http://www.ablogtowatch.com/nomos-ti...club-ii-watch/
(There are so many limited editions of this watch, that like the Speedmaster, the regular model may be the rarest!)
Got this incoming, cheap and cheerful but I'm excited to have another different G10 in the collection. Have loved this dial since I first saw it, will be a birthday pressie from the wife.

I remember thinking WTF!! back in 2003 when the LV was released, but over the years it has come to really grow on me. Finally, today I succumbed and bought a full set from a very friendly seller found through eBay (thanks Duncan if you are reading this). Its an M serial UK sold watch, 2008 so has the rehaut and is very near mint, never serviced and soon to be my daily wearer. No wrist shot as I need to get two links added to the bracelet first. :smug:

Quick snap of my first PVD watch and another 5100. Not in bad shape for 33yrs of age (the watch, I'm older and in worse shape).
