This arrived yesterday. A '79 16753 nipple dial. Fitting considering the weather.
Arrived on a jubilee which I thought was a little too Miami for me so went to see Ian at Hamilton and Inches to raid their selection of Kauffman straps. This is part incoming and part recommendation really. The straps are something else. Put some of the better known and discussed makers in the shade. Can't speak highly enough of them or Ian for having a fettle with a timing machine, pressure tester and some polywatch while I was checking out the straps.
Anyway. This is a navy brushed nubuck. It feels like velvet!
Also picked up a matte alligator but haven't fitted that just yet.
And i know the bezel is off :D
Delighted with this JLC Master Hometime - it could well be getting preference over my Aqua Terra.
Very simple and elegant, but significant with its 40mm size. Reasonably well decorated in-house cal 975 - you can just about make out the ceramic rotor bearings in the pic below.
From 1974, red submariner.
In quite good condition :)
having declared my collection as 'complete' back in August I now have a Seiko Padi Turtle on order
and also having spotted this Aquaracer on holiday recently and being proud of my self for resisting temptation...
it was available earlier this afternoon but now appears to be out of stock
roll on Friday...

Speedy.
Thought long and hard about this one vs conventional Speedy but decided I have enough black faced watches.
Love the fact that the dial is slightly off-white, like an Old English white, and the 5-60 markers.
On the bracelet for a couple of weeks then I'll try a distressed brown leather.

Nice watch Mark, glad it worked out in the end. You won't see another in the wild - well done.
My mitsukoshi mod finally came back from the jeweller. The original dial and hands swapped for the mitsukoshi parts.
I love it I love it I love it
Those Mauris are lovely!
This got sent of from Italy at 4pm today. Scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Thank god for UPS
Nice to get my favourite Steinhart back again. This is my third example of the rarer Mark 1. I sold the first on here and had sellers remorse and the second was a mint condition NOS still stickered watch that I just couldn't bring myself to touch, so I let it go. I have been on the lookout for a replacement and found this lovely example.

The mark 1 has the following differences to the Mark 2 pictured below for reference purposes:
A lovely jet black dial
Greenish cloured smaller plots
A forward slash in the depth rating rather than an = in the Mark 2
No number 10 in the bezel insert
A pointed internal 4 in the 40 rather than a flat top on the Mark 2
All in all, more desirable than the later version and one of the more difficult Steinhart models to find as most people bought the Military model.
Must keep hold of this one...

Correct, you see this on the old fat font Rolex inserts, on the mark 1,2 & 3 versions the inner area of the 4 looks more like a triangle, but on later inserts and service replacement inserts there is more of a flat top to both the inner area and the outer top. Steinhart seem to have copied this.
Small points, but the 4 in 40 is one of the key numbers to check when trying to guess which insert you have.
A new arrival this week. Definitely a keeper!
This new one.
I missed the new arrival picture for my BLNR a couple of months ago so thought i show what i picked up today. Omega Speedmaster 57, my first Speedy
