Been wearing my Bremont world timer lately (on an Octopod which works rather well, I think). I’ve had this 11 years and it’s worn remarkably well. Love the dial texture etc, it’s one of my...

Oh, very much so - it felt rather like a 911 before I unloaded the compost… :wink-new:
ETA the engine is a lovely thing - mine has an X-pipe and cat delete and it makes a fantastic noise. Plus...
For what it’s worth I’ve always liked the “base spec” cars; one of the most fun (non-front engined) Porsches I’ve ever driven was a 2.7 Boxster. Wonderfully nimble and you have to work the engine to...
Hard to argue, I agree. I read that article when it came out and it rather gave me The Fear. Chasing the mass market by dropping the features which distinguish the brand is a risky proposition in...
Tuna lume never fails to amaze. I happened to see this as I passed the shelf and I thought it was rather fun…

Recent acquisition Heuer, on a Nick Mankey “Top Gun” strap, today. I really am enjoying having one of these back in the collection, it’s such a lovely thing.
Have a great weekend, all!

New in this week, courtesy of Heuerfan: a 1000-series “Jumbo”. I haven’t had one in years, and it was always the source of seller’s remorse, so it’s lovely to have one back in the collection.

Thank you! It’s a bit mad but I enjoy it a great deal.
Ha, no - i just had a spare steel shroud (supplied in error) and thought hazard stripes might be fun…
I very much enjoy the square Gs, in fact it could be said that I have a bit of a Problem. I really took to the Bluetooth metal ones (GMW-B5000) and have three, plus a cluster of different...
I couldn’t agree more! That is a real beauty and I bet you won’t see many others in the wild. :encouragement:
That is just ridiculously cool.
I continue to wear this nonsense in public. Have a lovely weekend, all.

Alpinist GMT today, sunburst dial for a nice bright day.
Have a good weekend all!

Same as others, I find the hands on my Snowflake catch available light pretty well and are OK in low light. In the dark, it’s illegible. I usually take something (even if just a G-shock) with me if...
I absolutely LOVE that. Beautiful!
Ha, thank you. It appears to be rather Marmite but I thought I might as well lean into the “industrial”.
I found a guy called James, who specialises in small Cerakote jobs for custom PC parts....
Hazard Stripe Tuna today. First I did a mad thing and had the Cerakote done. Then I wore the mad thing.
Somewhat surprisingly I’ve not noticed any members of the public backing away from me. Yet....
A bit of daftness today. Back in the summer I dropped my Darth Tuna on a tiled floor and broke the ceramic shroud. I got a couple of steel ones from stitchesandbuckles in Singapore, one black and one...
Thoroughly obscure, in summary!
It’s from a long established canvas goods firm in Kyoto (Ichizawa.co.jp). It’s made from the same heavy canvas as their bags and carry straps, and features a rather...
Some lovely textured and coloured dials up there, the GS with the cut crystal and the Chris Ward both stand out. Beautiful.
In line with the prevailing aesthetic I’m going with, er, matt black. ...
Ooh, the Torre strap looks really interesting. Exactly the sort of vintage-y look I’m after. Bulk, I can live with, as long as the leather isn’t like plywood! I’ll look forward to seeing what you...
Perhaps a bit niche - but I don’t know where to start. I’ve just taken delivery of a seiko SPB377, the GMT Alpinist with a rather lovely glossy blue dial. The strap included with it it typically...
Anniversary Tuna again - I really enjoy this thing.
Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone - and a happy and healthy 2024.

Probably not, if you already have an iPhone.
It did make me glad that i haven’t got anything especially valuable or desirable, to be honest. And I wholeheartedly agree that these swine should (as...
Have a lovely weekend everyone. Today it’s my custom cerakote metal G-shock.
Some lovely watches out today, especially the IWC chrono and the Seiko LX. Beautiful!
I trust I have restored the...
