    First proper incoming for around 2 years now (moonswatches, blancpain x and stars wars watches excluded).

    Fed up playing Rolex games and given up on getting a Pepsi on jubilee so decided to scratch the Santos itch and blow the watch fund. Tried the green dial on at the airport last year and loved it. Really like the new dual time just released at Watches and Wonders so this may be a stop gap.

    Big thank you to Alex and Michael @ Watches of Whitby for a seamless transaction. Absolute pleasure to deal with.

    Difficult watch to photograph and do the green dial any justice, plus my photograph skills are rubbish but quick snap. Will try and do a proper write up when I have more time.

    The bracelet and quick release system is absolute genius, can remove links with no tools or risk of damage/scratching lugs. Even easier to use than system on my PAM 312.



    Excuse finger prints…. The bezel isn’t actually scratched, watch is mint.

    Arrived a couple of weeks ago but first chance I've had to wear it. I've always been a Moser admirer so finally decided to pull the trigger. It's real interesting intersection between a dressy watch and a sports watch.

    That is a beautiful dial

    Two arrivals in this last couple of weeks...

    Ironically... both are manual wind pieces, not even auto. Probably not by accident too.

    Having a bit of a cull of things that I don't wear, and trying to streamline down now to absolute keepers.



    Cosmonaute 809 circal 1965
    and Heuer Reference 12.








    Have a great weekend all.

    I have one of these arriving tomorrow (or Tuesday) I have never really been into Casio even though if I was off to paddle the Amazon River in a canoe I would choose a Casio of some description but I do like these full metal models, this will be three I own.

    Not sure whether too leave as is with the negative dial or swap the positive out of my beater into it.

    Two of my favourite designs, although my similar watch to the Heuer isn't a Heuer.

    Thank you kindly.

    This GMW-B5000RD-4ER arrived today, I do like these all metal Casio's, I like the colour in the metal and the negative display suits it so it will stay. Really whats not to like on these models, super accurate, 20BAR water resistant and many other features at a very reasonable price.

    The one on the left has a barrelled matt finish which looks a little like Titanium and is my beater and the one on the right is my shiny one which when I wear tends to get more comments than any others I wear.

    Thank you for the kind words :) It looks great! I had problems doing the green dial justice too.

    Enjoy, it's a lovely watch that :)
