Incoming briefly before I took it around to its rightful owner (my father in law). This lovely Rotary was bought as a wedding gift when he married my mother in law 56 joyous years ago (his words...!)
Returned to working order by Brendan (webwatchmaker) following a full strip down and service.
Simple but elegant, I have ordered a new Watch Gecko tan leather strap to go with it.

New in today courtesy of a heads up in the George & Dragon. cracking watch for just over £200, straight on to a different strap..I like it
I've always wanted a "guilloché main" dial -- and I like micro-brands with real capability, so this arrived today . . . . . .
And, yes, that is a humble Unitas 6498.
The photos of this brand started my fascination with the watch world about 20 years ago. Now I finally own one!!
Very impressed with this 40mm new arrival, love the colour of the dial and it’s very comfortable on the wrist.

Nice little eBay bargain arrived today. Genuine omega brown leather strap. The model code 98000195S appears against a few models. Hardly seems worn anyway. Seller even chucked in an omega travel case too.
I'd like a genuine deployment for it but for now I've picked up a generic one. Still to arrive.

I don't normally bother with this thread, I'd spend half my time posting pics if I did, but this arrived today and I'm VERY pleased with it. I've said it before but I think I'm happy with what I've got and will hopefully stop spending so much time browsing for the next one.
I've just bought a Seiko Presage SRPD37J1. I have previously said that it was too big for a dress watch at 40.5 mm. However the green dial is very appealing and that is the only reason I decided to go for it. So far I can only go by Internet pictures where the watch is shown under bright lighting. My fear is that in reality the dial will appear black most of the time. We shall see!
Rolex SD43 recently picked up from Sales Corner

After the Lange... here’s my new arrival.
I bought it a couple of weeks ago, arrived from the US today. I thought I’d be flipping it straight away but I think it’s pretty great. The movement feels really good (apparently modified ETA2824) and for £350 (that’s with import taxes and shipping) for a Swiss watch you can’t go wrong I think. The original strap is rubbish though, so I put it on an aftermarket tropic strap. This is the largest (42mm) watch I own, but doesn’t feel like it, probably because it’s about 10mm thin - one of the thinnest divers on the market? I decided to buy it because I wanted a beater diver that doesn’t look like Rolex Sub. And I think I nailed it.

Of course you all know what this is - hopefully someone will be along soon with a Sub or a Speedy Pro for something really novel;)
Well, after 2 months of waiting I finally got my very expensive bottle of aftershave last week. They threw in a watch to soften the blow.

I’m really delighted with this new incoming. The finishing is even better than I expected and the size and fit are spot on
Picked this up in town today, doing my bit for local shops!

Picked this up on the Sales Corner this week, really enjoying the lightness of the Carbotech.

Another Mako XL. It’s a sickness now.
On this beads of rice bracelet, I honestly feel like I might never take it off my wrist.
Cut to a months time and it’s in a cupboard and I feel the same about something else.
