I received it yesterday
It was that
Today is that
But I'm looking for genuine leather/home made strap
Any suggestions ?

only a strap rather than a watch, but I picked up this Bamford canvas, leather-backed NATO last week, and I think it suits my IWC perfectly. (It needs a thin watch, as the double thickness behind the watch head makes the watch stand away from the wrist a bit.)
Looks a bit pushed to the back of the wrist here!
Is it a lucca? Very comfortable too
I do like a cheap Seiko. My first blue watch :)
I've got that exact watch!Originally Posted by Markw

Finally got my hands on one of these babies...
Very nice; I like that.
Looks great on the nato. Enjoy!Finally got my hands on one of these babies...
Did Blofeld escape in the end?Finally got my hands on one of these babies...
A little delicious something from the SC, an early sixties Longines manual
Perfect for loafing about with. I don't have a huge collection, so this is going to get plenty of wear

Thanks for sharing.
Its perfect!
Arrived today. Sinn 956 classic. Think I'll get a brown strap for this too.
My first venture into AP...
Very nice; bezel looks particularly sharp - is it new or just well looked after?My first venture into AP...
Thank you Tony. It is actually a 14790. I find that the AP RO range tend to wear much larger than the case dimensions, on paper, would suggest. I have tried a 15300 and found it too large. Whereas, a 14790 is just about perfect. Wears very similarly to a 5711 or a 40mm Rolex sport model. I really am rather taken with it.
Thank you. It is 16 years old (semi vintage!), but the case is super sharp. Evidently, it has been very well looked after.
This arrived yesterday, PRS-82, very happy :)
PRS-82
Absolutely!! I loved mine for the year I had it but felt they really were very vulnerable to the most minor knock. I know some do wear as a daily but I'd really struggle as feel it would get marked too quickly and easily.
Take care!
Got one of these today...does this count or am I going to get banned for posting tat ☺

Do a proper review thread.Got one of these today...does this count or am I going to get banned for posting tat ☺
Not sure if it will be appreciated here, but I'll try put something up over the weekend :)
I'd be interested to read it! Looks a great smart watch.
This just in
Nothing special, but I like it.
Any tips and tricks on how to set the second hand accurately?
Last day in Thailand, my toddler son was hospitalised with a now resolved high fever, was browsing the local horological stores to see what I could get to commemorate, this very well made piece stood out and for just over £600 it is now mine. Don't know much about it other than its a Tuna and model is SBBD035
It's a lot better made than my crappy iPhone pic shows and is extremely good value IMHO.
If anyone knows anything about the model it would be good to learn more - it said 50th anniversary in the promotional material surrounding it in the store
On it's way to me.
What is it? looks pretty cool!On it's way to me.
It confused me for a while it's a "Zinex ME109S Pilots Watch" but Zinex don't exist, so it turns out that Zinex became Zixen after some copyright battle thing.
It's a limited edition with a rather cool lume.
Said I'd post this at the weekend. Bought it last Monday but working away all week and only got my hands on it on Friday

My new Longines Hydroconquest. 39mm, quartz, my new holiday watch.
It looks like I have been fortunate in that I appear to have managed to get the bracelet to fit first time.
Another Breitling added to my collection

Got an incoming fairly soon but just had to post as I can't wait and I'm really hoping it lives up to expectations.
ETA around 13th April so check in for some pics and to see if it delivers......
Have a vintage Constellation incoming... hope it is a good 'un!
My very first Breitling was added to my collection recently. Given the vast range that Breitling produce, I was wavering between various models.
In the end I decided to go the Navitimer route and chose a Navitimer 01 43mm as shown in the excellent photo from RossC.
Another one of Eddie's; not my first or last but currently only one. First impressions are that its up to his usual high standards and just a little bit different to the norm.
I'm thinking it may have been even better without the day/date.
I've been interested in these for quite a while, but as they are quite hard to come by, I have not been able to try or purchase one. Couple of weeks ago I was in Hong Kong for business and also checked out a few watch shops. I got to see and handle GS watches for the first time and they left a good impression. Well, as I got back, practically the same day there was one for sale on SC - and I jumped at it instantly. Wooster sent this to me by DHL and I've just had the bracelet shortened to fit. The feel of quality is outstanding on this.
I thought the same when it was going through the design stages… I understand how is looks like a counter on the dial though, so works in that respect.Another one of Eddie's; not my first or last but currently only one.

It is quiet close to the centre of the dial, but I imagine that is limited by the movement. An interesting feature on A Blog to Watch on date designs and how older movements and larger fashion in case design do not go hand in hand.

I have had this one on for a little over a week now... and its a unique beauty at that! Maybe a one off, blasted Seafire. A really good trade deal went through with Julian, he got a SK007 for a project he is working on and a decent PVD quartz beater and I got the PRS-37 a model I always wanted to try. I was intrigued to see what this quartz movement is like and it doesn't disappoint. In fact as a whole I'm more impressed with the Seafire than I thought I would be.
I love that it is showing off its battle scars proudly and means I also don't have to worry to much about adding extra myself!
It's a quality NATO strap - really thick and the green really pings.
Its a well documented watch and how it got to its current state:

That's my old watch and Quatar Wal's before me. I was shocked to see it getting beaten up so badly by Velorum but was pleased to see its transformation.I have had this one on for a little over a week now... and its a unique beauty at that!

I was worried that the black shadow would be too similar to the seafire and I'd not gel with it but, fortunately for me, that isn't happening.
Really impressed with this.

Liking the day/date Dave.Like that a lot.
[QUOTE=itsgotournameonit;3909621]Thanks Tony, I'm really pleased with it!
Picked this up today after a month of waiting - absolutely gorgeous and the new wooden Omega boxes are something else
Can't believe how good this is for the money!
Apologies for crappy pics during drunken cab ride home. Sedna Gold/SS Omega Globemaster
That's a lovely looking watch. Not my normal taste at all, but something about just seems so right!Another one of Eddie's; not my first or last but currently only one. First impressions are that its up to his usual high standards and just a little bit different to the norm.

I had a bit of buyers remorse before it arrived but the more time I spend with it, the better it gets!
Better pic in light
