That's lovely!
Thank you, really happy with it :)
This Edox Delfin is my latest arrival, really thrilled with it. I love this styling and have been chasing a decent one for ages. This one came with some scratches on the plexi that took me fifteen minutes to solve using polywatch. It even has the caseback sticker still on! The brushwork is also amazing and like new.
Love the styling, the thick raised markers, the beautiful blue sunburst dial and that amazing plexi on top! Last picture shows it pre-polywatch. lots of dust on the pictures but the sun is gone so hard to take new shots :-)
Picked this up cheaply off the 'bay, it's been polished and I suspect the dial has been refinished but for the price I paid I don't care. Clearly of it's day (1970's?) the TV dial and silver sparkle are bonkers but not without their own kind of charm. It's small at 34mm (ex. crown) but seems to wear bigger. Nevertheless, I can see it ending up in my wife's drawer.
I've had two chronographs arrive today. One was a CK2998 but that has been overshadowed somewhat by the arrival of this. On first impressions it is stunning!

A 70's Aqua Terra! I think they are great watches and have a lot of heft for a vintage piece as well
[QUOTE=Mark lowman;4107325]For some reason post ended up here, my comment was directed at the Cosmic 2000
After seeing the GV recently, I realised that I missed mine after I sold my first one all those years ago so a drive down to Maidstone and here it is. Tried the Blue but did not bond, but never know for the future.
Not sure why double post.

The cheapo field watch I got from Amazon turned up with a dead battery. I negotiated a 40% refund from the seller, stuck a new battery in and it's now fine. With the refund it cost me less than £20. Case is decent, dial is nice and plain, crystal is advertised as sapphire and I can't see any reason to doubt that. The strap was garbage so I've stuck it on a Nato I had. All in all I'm happy :)

My WTB for Silver Sumo was answered :-D
What a beaut...And its brother the Orange Sumo in the background.
I had no idea you could get a silver Sumo! I thought it was just black, blue and orange.My WTB for Silver Sumo was answered :-D

Looks great.
There are a few Limited Editions floating about, mostly out of Thailand. Some crazy colour combos out there! I saw a 50th Anniv. edition (green/gold) going for 1500usd!

Went to the local AD Yesterday and bought this little beauty. IWC pilot mk xviii. Extremely happy about it
Nice, now get it on a NATO. :)
Maybe it's the angle, but dare I say it looks a little big for your wrist?Went to the local AD Yesterday and bought this little beauty. IWC pilot mk xviii. Extremely happy about it
Still, if you're happy with it, what's it matter what I think - Nice watch

Two arrivals this week, they really couldn't be much more disparate but I rather like them both.
An early 1950's 33mm diameter J.W. Benson with 16j Smiths Movement.
This joins its yellow lumed brother in the collection.
And... a 2016 53mm x 48mm Nixie Tube Watch from Cathode Corner with 40 year-old 14mm NL-5870 tubes.
That's bonkers Matthew
Isn't it!That's bonkers Matthew
Got this a few weeks ago.
Have the brown dial on order but, warming up to the gemstones... The subtle sparkle from the diamonds then and again brightens any rainy autumn day!

Nice brass watch. What's the size?
Arrived today.
42mm
This new Bulova Moonwatch SE arrived yesterday.
Still in the box and stickers as it's a present for my son - £314 from HS Johnson delivered free in 2 days, so kudos to them as well. I'm very pleased with the quality; lovely solid feel, nice finish to the case, soft but satisfying click to the pushers and the smooth sweep of the chrono centre seconds hand is cool as well. Thankfully a little big for me so no risk of keeping it :)
Lots really nice pieces...makes me want more but sadly need more $$ !!! Love that Daytona. Did anyone see the US Antiques Roadshow clip...ex pilot bought 1973 Daytona Paul Newman NEW...still owns...rarely wears...paid $573 US ....now worth 100k +....

Loving my new Squale, a treat to myself for recent birthday, really nice to wear, runs about +6s a day.
I've always wanted a reverso, a JLC ultra thin, and a rose gold watch. Given that I wouldn't want to wear 3 watches at the same time I bought this:

Next purchase should be dressier, now that I am done with sports watches. Almost certainly a Reverso, but I'll probably have to stick with the steel 1931. Rose gold is the business though

I've always dismissed GS quartz but that is really nice.

I was very exited for this new lizard strap to arrive and I must say its a stunning piece!
A little disappointed because it is somewhat long for my wrist.
Just picked this up after being on the lookout since February.

New watch and new strap. PAM 392 and Ted Su both arrived last week.
Waiting for someone to call me out for buying a Tag as my new beater :P
Definitely not the best value watch I've ever bought, even with 30% off, but it's decently finished for the price, the sunburst dial is very nice, and the lume is excellent, with green tips on the hands and pip whilst the rest is blue.
Just received this in the mail, a Lemania 105 issued to BBC aka poor man's Seamaster 321
Picked up my first Rolex today. Very happy chappy.
