I think this is my favorite version of the Carrera I have seen; really a striking watch visually, with fantastic lines (and some eye-catching splashes of color which I love). Sounds like you got a great buy on it, too. Enjoy!

My extended period of wanting a reassuring lump of an auto on my wrist seems to have passed, but the desire for one of these, which had been lurking within me for 7 years, hasn't....
I'll be very glad to be going back to having a manual wind watch as my daily wearer, not least because they don't mind whether you wear it or not, so long as you're winding it.
Berrys have a 20% off Nomos offer on at the moment, so they're ordering this in for me, I'll have at least a couple of weeks wait. I'm getting the solid caseback 35mm version, just 6.2mm thick. Also, thankfully, they're getting me it on the brown strap, which on the Nomos website looks more like an additional item than a standard option.
Bargain buy on eBay, a different look for me but I really like it

It was - broken into last summer while on holiday and they had the lot apart from the one I was wearing. I managed to spot one of the stolen ones on eBay and the police managed to catch up with one of the scrotes while he still had 4 of them, it's just taken them forever to process them and then Covid meant they couldn't return them.
Adding to the Sub collection...
a little from column A, a little from column B It is a big watch and the camera makes it look bigger but once on the wrist there’s no overhang of the lugs over my wrist (despite them being relatively slim wrists). It is a touch bigger than the 39mm Royal Oak Chrono it supplements and will take some getting used to (again) but I love the offshore range from AP and wanted another in my collection.
Oh, and I’ve put it back on the rubber for a while now
Extremely happy with my new arrival!

New Vostok Amphibia SE 420B36. Been hankering after a sandwich dial for a long time and finally acquired one. Impressed so far.

I got mine from Meranom, ordered it on Monday and paid for UPS delivery and it arrived Friday. They are out of stock now.
I've just ordered the mesh bracelet from them to see if I like it.
I really like it on the Pepsi bezel, I never had a Pepsi bezel before so fancied getting one but I'm now thinking of 24 hour Pepsi bezel would be nice.
Hope you are enjoying yours.

I believe it’s a Ming 27.01. Beautiful watch.

Love that blue .I would rather the blue over black but bit concerned the 58 will wear a little too small on a 7” wrist
Congratulations! I’m on the wait list for that myself. Such a gorgeous color; it makes me smile every time I see it. Looks great with the other watches in your collection, too!
As for the blue 58 - also a gorgeous watch! I am green (couldn’t resist...) with envy of the both of you. Enjoy!

Yep totally agree, fantastic size at 37mm with the short lug to lug, the case and dial look way higher quality than the price suggests. The lume is ace, and you’re getting an in house movement which is nice even if it is a bit of a relic! The bracelet is more fitting with the price, but I like it - it’s pretty light and jangly but combined with the size and design it gives a bit of a vintage feel to the watch. I’ve got the black one on order from Jomashop👍
