Photo is a few weeks late. Perfect weather for this guy.

Nothing for literally years, and all of a sudden two in as many weeks.
Indeed, here he is in orbit wearing it
From the Spacefacts website.
What is more, being a Luftwaffe office we was also issued a Tutima Bund. He gifted this watch to his fellow crew member Viktorenko, who later auctioned it, claiming that Flade wore it on board. He did not, the PVD Sinn is clearly seen in all pics of him, and his other wrist is empty.

Mrs Weasel went shopping today and returned home with a surprise gift for me.
I once mentioned that I want a fitness watch but not one of those band thingy me bobs. Anyway, what a nice surprise. She said it's the new model and thought as it's got Tag Heuer on it you will wear that!!
I did ask if it manual wind, and what the power reserve is? She just shrugged her shoulders and said you need to charge it!!! Hahaha she's a keeper.

^ Nice one Mick, you’re a lucky man. I was really close to buying one of these from SC recently but decided against it as I was an iPhone user. I’m swapping back to android now so may rethink.

Received back from the Longines Spa today after 7 weeks of treatment. Straight on the Mays of Berlin canvas strap I had made for it whilst it was away......
They did a fine job, it looks brand new
A bit late now but my latest incoming and a definite keeper. Absolutely smitten and the blue on the dial for me is mesmerising.

Arrived today with half a dozen straps following a WTB for a submersible. Reference 01055, Limited Edition of 500.
It wasn’t what I had in mind and the green may be a bit Marmite, but I really like it.

Always wanted to try something like this, very happy with it.

Very nice. I’m starting to like and appreciate the submersible more. Dangerous

Thanks Ian, really impressed with it so far. Does everything I need.
The strap is just so comfortable, and the watch head is light even being 45mm it wears smaller to me.
Only downside is battery life, but saying that it does last all day and the GPS is very accurate. Definitely take a second look if you move back to Android.
Mick.

After a long wait, I finally have my hands on a Konstantin Chaykin "Joker". It is a real work of art! It brings a smile to my face every time I check the time.

First Citizen and solar powered watch. So far so good. The Eco Drive seemed more sensible as a weekend/holiday/grab and go alternative to a cheap mechanical. When not in use I can just leave it on the bedside cabinet.
Apologies for the slightly blurry image.

Just arrived and put it on a Shark mesh.
Sinn 556i. Nothing to say that hasn't already been said but this hits the sweet spot for me on all counts. Fantastic service from Allan at James Porter made the buying process an absolute pleasure too.
Cheers
Ian
And another Seiko!
This is really nice. Enjoy

Thanks, I've worn it for 2 weeks straight which is very unusual for me and the well-chuffed feeling has not diminished one jot. I almost went for the U50 but the only one they had in stock was the all black DLC version which wasn't my cup of tea,. The bead blasted steel with tegimented bezel version would have been a 12 week wait, but I don't think I could have justified buying another diver anyway (even to myself!)
Cheers
Ian
I had a look at the u50 also after reading a review on hodinkee. Very nice watch. However I decided to add the tudor bb58 blue instead. I much prefer the hands on the 556i compared to u50. What size is it? That’s good that that you have bonded so well with it. I can understand why you haven’t taken it off.
