Have settled with these two and can’t see myself changing unless Sinn release a 36mm 556...

Great write up. The policy of supplying parts to independent watchmakers is interesting as Nomos is the only manufacturer I have ever had service a watch - I usually very happily use independents but...
Of if you can’t, the 7n42-8070...

Another vote for Garmin. Got an end of line deal on a Vivosmart HR+ and it isn’t much bigger than my Fitbit alta was and does more than everything I need it to. Had it not been such a good deal I’d...
I’ve never found a source for IWC mk xii/xv style hands and would love to put these on a Dagaz Thunderbolt (the two standard handsets are not really to my taste) - the complication being that they...
After getting into Running in autumn 2017 interspersed with quite a while off after knackering my feet on a multi-day hike (of all things) I’ve started running again in earnest over the past couple...
The only watch to survive the in-process cull (other than my trusty Seiko quartz beater) - the Nomos Sproutmaster/Club

Tempted to send a PM but we all know the only eventual winner here would be Royal Mail...

Much nicer than the last time I saw it - great to see it given a new lease of life!
Of my small collection, which has now remained unchanged for over 18 months, only my Seiko SGD449 is ineligibile for this thread, coming in at a gargantuan 37.5 (though it is both the thinnest and...
Congratulations - what a great result! I have a handful of regrets about watches I have sold on here but I console myself with the fact that whenever I have managed to buy back a regrettably sold...
Stick
I suspect they're still considered a bit marmite TBH but I think it has a charm all of its own and wears beautifully, with a thinner ETA-derived movement than the ubiquitous 2824.
They don't often...
Thanks for the recommendation and good shout - I did indeed spend a while deliberating over the one that came up last year, but in the end the lume plots and added mm (on an all dial watch) took away...
Thanks all!
PH:
I do slightly regret letting the Antea go, but I did so because I felt the Club made it redundant. The Club is more versatile, sits better on my wrist and has much better WR. I...
Since it seems to be that time of year I thought I'd share my current watches. I say SOTC but I think I may have moved from having 'a collection' to having 'the watches I wear' - that's certainly...
Tried one on today. The crown feels like it could be a proper wrist-digger TBH (and the wrist shot here suggests this is the case:...
My holiday watch:

You'll be pleased to know that having returned from my sweat-lodge and stable-mucking package holiday I have no further use for the shorts and will be listing them in SC forthwith.
The Speedbird is a brilliant watch which punches far, far above it's weight, but I do think the Sinn stands above it in the originality of the design. Used values are not so far apart - £100-150...
Thirded, but for less money, the Sinn 556a/i is, IMO, one of the best sub £1000 watches out there.
It's a Eulit Panama in grey, had to go to Uniqlo for the matching shorts though (a coincidence I assure you!)...

This one - rugged and inexpensive enough not to worry about, nice enough that I enjoy wearing it!
