Just ordered a new 1000m diver...

[outstretchedhands]

Will take delivery in June. I think this is the first time I've ever ordered a watch directly from an AD. Can anyone guess which one I ordered? :D

[Scottishtrunkmonkey]

Sinn?

[outstretchedhands]

Nope. This one was just released at Baselworld. :D

[S.L]

Glycine.

Bingo! Lagunare Certified Chronometer 3000 :D

[Scottishtrunkmonkey]

very cool :D

[outstretchedhands]

Thanks mate! Couldn't resist. Been tinkering with the idea for a while and when an AD I'd contacted said he'd got one available out of the 3 he was allocated I jumped. Not cheap, though, so may have to sacrifice the SHOM to fund it or risk perpetual persecution from the better half. :D

Par for the course surely? :lol:

True but no point in asking for it. :D

Nice 8)

[outstretchedhands]

Nice 8)

Thanks mate.

[westy]

I really like that. :lol: ....but can't help wondering what it would look like with a numeral '9' instead of the logo.
:bom:
Even nicer perhaps.... :?: :?:
Anyhow, enjoy it and I look forward to seeing it on sales corner some time soon. :albino: :blackeye:

Cheers,
Westy.

[doug darter]

I think it's an outstanding piece. Congratulations.

[VinceR]

Thanks Doug! Vince, yes, will definately post some pics once she's here.

[redmonaco]

lovely looking watch. :)

just a thought though, wouldn't the manual HE Valve be a bit redundant being that it has an auto one...!!?? :|

[jesper451]

That watch really looks great. If they ever make a 42 mm version I will get one.

[Daddelvirks]

That's the way to go 8) .
Sometimes you must follow the hart, and take a decision.
This was IMHO one of the best looking divers at Basel.

Cheers and enjoy,

Daddel.

[maseman]

Thanks guys!! According to th specs it's very similar in size to the Marathon CSAR.

That'll be massive then with one arm longer than the other and walking round in circles. :lol: :lol:

maseman

[spogehead]

That is one big bastard!!

Very nice it was one of the highlights of Basel for me.

How much does one of those run out at btw?

[outstretchedhands]

Hi guys and thanks! Spogehead, it's £1600.

LOL! Reminds me of when I was a kid: my Dad told me a haggis was a rare Scottish bird with one short leg and one long leg so it could walk around the tops of the Scottish mountains. :D

[angeche]

Nice watch, but big, also in pricing! Out of my reach currently.......................

[Jay]

I really, really like the look of that. If i was you June wouldn't come round quick enough!

[outstretchedhands]

It won't but it's nice to have something to look forward to, I guess. :D

Nah. It's not a bird, It's a small animal.

[spogehead]

Hi guys and thanks! Spogehead, it's £1600.

Thanks,I thought it would be quite a bit more than that!!

Mmmm might have to start working hard on my wrist.....erm :D

[David]

I purchased two Glycines last year. A Combat Sub Automatic, (my first "real watch") and an Incursore ARCO SL; PVD with a superluminova dial.

I love them both and you are going to love that Lagunare! I think it's one of the best looking watches Glycine has ever produced.

David

[outstretchedhands]

Nah. It's not a bird, It's a small animal.

maseman

Ahh well...that's what happens when lowlanders get hold of the story. :D

And it's got six legs not two. I know, cos my son in Edinburgh has one as a pet. :wink:


Oh, Outstretched, that's one lovely watch you've ordered. :)

[outstretchedhands]

Thanks Peter! Six legs, you say? I'm feeling short-changed on that story! :D

[outstretchedhands]

I wonder if a bracelet will be available for this at any point? Don't see any mention of one on th site...

[David]

There's a photo of the watch on a bracelet on the rruegger blogspot.

David

[outstretchedhands]

There's a photo of the watch on a bracelet on the rruegger blogspot.

David, thanks for that!! The bracelet on that one seems to be off one of their other models as it doesn't quite fit if you looks carefully but it certainly indicates that one will be available at some point. Looks a beast on that one. Hope they'll make one more in line with the oyster bracelet than the one shown in that photo.

Thanks again for the tip!!

[outstretchedhands]

Just spoke to the AD this afternoon and he's hoping to get the L3000 in next week already!! Will update with some pics as soon as she arrives!! :D

[Boeingdriver]

Ooh very nice i had the old Lagunare but this wallops it congrats Mate wear it in good health.

[Dean in Canuckistan]

Very nice. Congrats! Can't wait for those live pics...

[outstretchedhands]

Man, I wish this would turn up! Been wearing an Orsa Pro Diver for 4 weeks now and tho it's a great little beater it's getting boring. :D

[outstretchedhands]

Well, Friday came and went and so did June...:D My AD was not to be trusted :evil: and now it's due in next Thursday...sigh... This darn thing had better be 10x better than the Deep Sea...then I might forgive them...:D

[Scottishtrunkmonkey]

Thats one long wait :bounce:

[VinceR]

Thats one long wait :bounce:

That's for sure .. hopefully it'll be worth the wait! Your AD should also offer some kind of sweetener as well.

Now, see, my Scottish genes are saying the same thing...and we're not talking Canderella here... :D :D
