Got a long sought watch incoming
A Sinn Panda chrono- the limited-run blue one
fancying a nice light brown saddle leather strap with royal blue stitching to go with it....anyone other than Toshi I should look at?
Andrea from Martu could be worth a shout; she's a pleasure to deal with. Is it 20 or 22mm as a matter of interest?

Received the phone call this morning, on the wrist this afternoon and I love it.

Took delivery of this IWC mk XV Spitfire LE a week or so ago. Very pleased, it is a bit bigger than the mark XII so fits better on my chubby wrist.
Got this Monday. Titanium bracelet being adjusted.

This CWC new to me, on the vintage 1981 British military strap. Case and profile is very nice and I like the ageing tritium. Yes the hand doesn't hit the markers, although it oddly corrects itself sometimes but at least it ticks in a stable way rather than the wobbling Ronda movement. Most importantly has enough torque which means the hands extend fully to the edge of the dial as they should do.
Quick & Dirty iPhone pics of this morning's arrival.
It's very (beautifully) blue !

I'm looking forward to receive this little darling next week :)
Thanks for the kind words below. At 38mm this is a lovely fit and has been my daily wearer for most of the past week. I was thinking of replacing my smaller mkXII with this but think I will keep both now. The mkXV keeps good time as a bonus !
This is going to be a very special watch to me - I am aiming to put up a SOTC later with more on the reason why!
Impulse buy this weekend from MWR forum
Very happy with it on one of REV-Os straps.
Got the last new one (?) from Regent Street Omega boutique this week. Lucky

I had made a big purchase the other day, then made the mistake of viewing SC, a quick check of the Timefactors website showed the Speedbird as sold out, thought I had only looked recently and it was still in stock. A quick pm and this beauty arrived soon after, thanks to James TimeOut! Not sized the bracelet yet.
That's beautiful! Congratulations.

No idea what it is, what it does or how it works but I really like that!

Very nice Ed!
I am sure I have seen that Montreal in a curry house somewhere ;)
London Lad, what a fantastic clock! Definitely worth the wait... I would love an atmos.
It's certainly a stunning timepiece. Exceptional wrist presence too I should imagine!
Its aJaeger Le Coultre Millenaire Atmos Clock.
Atmos clocks run bay harnessing the energy from the daily change in the surrounding air pressure and temperature and don't require winding.
This unusual shaped model, the Millenaire, was produced in 2000 to celebrate the millennium and has a one thousand year calender indicating month, moon phase and year.
New arrival today! So nice to have a unique watch: I ordered the Pinion Axis 2 but a one-off build with polished case and back instead of production brushed finish. I also ordered a black date dial with white numbers rather than the standard white with black numbers. Lovely finish and Pinion are a great British micro-brand.

That Axis looks great in that finish, wish they did a reduced.
Lume on the Pinion is uber-bright. After 3 mins outside I came indoors and the lume was glowing! Pic does not show this that well.

Arrived today from the SC. Love this little gem.
Pleased with this new arrival as I'd been after the movement for a while. It's an auto and the minute and second hand are driven indirectly, to make space for a bigger balance (so hopefully more accurate). This arrangement also means that the crown hand winds backwards. The rotor makes a lovely light 'ratchet' sound when it's winding.
It's amazing what a bit of a polish and a decent strap can do. This is what the eBay picture looked like - no wonder I was the only bidder.
