    Latest arrival (1665) and collection update

    Hey folks, i've not really been posting too much as i've had various other things going on but i've just acquired a new piece and she's a keeper for sure. I put a single pic up the other day and have had a few PM's suggesting I put up more. So, here we go!

    Excuse the iPhone pics, it's the only camera I have to hand. I tried to make them a little interesting playing with light etc...

    The 1665 really is a lovely watch (stop panting, Andy). Nice catch, James.

    Thanks guys. I'm delighted with it. Since collecting it i've barely had it off other than to load the dishwasher and do a little food prep! Being a birth year ('81) for me it's also got some sentimental value so for that reason it is unlikely ever to leave my ownership much like my GMTc which marked my 30th.

    Must be one of the nicest 1665's out there. It's basically perfect.

    Can honestly say that have I never really thought about a Tudor before, though yours looks beautiful.

    no probs james its fine , i knows gonna be pampered with you and well taken care off
    rather than locked away in my bank where its sat for a good 6 months since i last seen it /let alone wore it
    its my favourite vintage by far but with work etc i really dont have time to wear it as much as id like .

    when your evil pal messaged me half pissed and agreed the deal my first thought was hmmm
    where is that watch , aint seen it in ages :) better find it :D

    as my good pal jed has said the 1665 is a 5513 on steriods which is the best way to describe it .
    i will no doubt own another one some time

    wear it in the best of health mate and all the best for 2012 :)
    i'll try pop up sometime and we can actually sit down and have a few beers and some food next time :)

    Half pissed? Half pissed? I was fully 100% blootered for your info, and still managed to get you girls to an acceptable price. Should have taken a cut... :twisted:

    Got me in a vintage mood too! :D
