Been on my list for years and arrived this morning:

apologies I've been trying to work out how to upload pics from a phone for 4 years and still can't do it even though I've changed from Samsung to IPhone.
Over the past 6 months, I have been revamping my collection.
Here's the last 4 grabs.
1st one is a CWC diver, my poor man's Omega 300m military Seamaster.
Next's a Zenith El Primero A385. The faded dial made me do it!
Followed by this Japan edition Speedmaster Reduced.
Finally, a 105.002 Omega Speedy. Did not even know that such a model existed but once I saw it.. the applied logo, the starting to turn brown dial, the 'big' crown, the silver rehaut, the smaller case size.. and of the course the beautiful 321 movement. Did not fancy its telemeter bezel that came with it, so had the light blue/grey bezel fitted instead!
Not for the faint hearted - my Zenith Xtreme 47mm Defy 1000m Chronograph.
Enjoying this new arrival (birthday gift!).
Got this little beauty on Tuesday so I think it still counts as incoming?
An old favourite has returned - not much loved on here but I've always liked them, GP a Sea Hawk Pro2 3000m.
Gerlach 'Seikosha Tokkotai', a replica of the WWII Seikosha Divine wind Kamikaze pilots watch.
Tokkatai means to leave, and never return in Japanese.
The watch contains a Seiko NH35 auto, hackable movement. These were made for the Spanish 'Para Club Okies Seiko' in a limited edition of 150 . Mine is 36/150.
January 1985 6309-7040. Only the insert and crystal (correct replacement) aren't original.
Been fully stripped, serviced and pressure tested by The Seiko Yoda. The DAL1BP arrived from Seiya at the same time - this is as close to the original strap the watch had when new as you can get.
Duncan reports it's running at around +2spd.
There's just something about these that keeps me coming back to them.

Two more divers arrived for me this week;
Omega Ploprof 1200m
Seiko Ninja Tuna SBBN035
Just back from Singapore where I happened to come across a Baby Tuna... seen photos of them plenty times but never seen one in the metal before and really wasn't on my radar.
Thought I may as well try it on and before I knew it my cash was somehow on their counter.
Andy.
Very nice John!
How do you find it compared to the vintage Daytonas?
All the best,
Paul
P.S. Don't forget to screw those pushers in properly...!
Ordered this limited edition re-issue back in May. Shipping soon....I hope.
