It's nice to have a watch with a power reserve again!
A bit of an impulse buy but I really like the dial texture, just need to get a better strap on it.

Would you have bought it, and paid what you did, if it had been advertised in the condition its in?
Will another one likely pop up at some point in better condition and will you regret not holding off for it? Or is this something that you can quickly sell on for what you paid for it?
The first mechanical Silverwave to add to the collection.
Beneath the grotty crystal there is a lovely teal dial.
I hope.
I’m just in discussions now with the jeweller. He’s going to source as many of the missing bits that I have highlighted as he can get hold of. He won’t be able to get hold of the stickers or appropriately marked outer box. But at least they have come to the table. The price was reasonable, but based on a description that wasn’t particularly accurate. I’m going to give them until the middle of next week and see what they come up with. He’s also going to supply a Panerai strap. The watch is ok as they get bumps and knocks, I do like a full boxed set though.
Here it is swapped onto a blue Panerai rubber I had on stock.......

Been after one of these on and off for what feels like a really long while! Love it!
Picked this up in a great deal on SC a few days ago, my first Sinn and am blown away by it, cant take it off or stop looking at it. Understated, beautiful, hard as nails.

This new Halios had just been delivered. I've had a seaforth before and enjoyed it but didn't get on eith the ceramic bezel and always felt that the watch looked a bit like a dinner plate on my wrist, I think because it was quite flat whereas my Omega PO is curved slightly making it less severe.
This new model is a fairwind, smaller at 39mm, 2824 movement (28,800vph) and a lovely brushed steel bezel. It has been shipped on a suede strap but the bracelet is on the way.
Dimensions for my 6.75inch wrist perfectly although I would like a date.

After some deliberation - this 126665 has landed today. Fresh from the AD who spent time making sure I had the right bracelet size (yes Rolex call this a bracelet not a “rubber band” as some folk do). I may do a little write up
Looks fantastic, well done. That watch has been growing on me for a long while but I'm a way off from doing something about it. Hopefully by the time I have the funds it will be available in 42mm but with the same proportion hour hand as I think the hour hand on the WG 42 looks a bit weird.
Just exquisite, and looks great on you. One of the best looking of the current Rolex I think. Congratulations on an exciting purchase; Ill look forward to a write up and some more pictures!

Just allow a little time for the Oysterflex to bed in. It can feel a bit stiff at first but soon relaxes and becomes very comfortable indeed. With the new adjustable clasp for this year you can get a perfect fit. But, as you spotted, first you need the right size ‘bracelet’. Apparently the bands should put the setting of the clasp in the ‘mid’ setting so you can go either way. Because you can’t add or subtract links!
Overall, I think it is the most comfortable ‘bracelet’ they offer. Seems tough too.
Incidentally, the 18k gold clasp costs somewhere around 6K. Incredible price. The bands a few hundred.Thats more like it.

Picked up my first Rolex yesterday, delighted with it!
Just in but I set the date wrong. Sorry.
Took delivery today of a watch that I have been after for a few years now. Certainly one of Eddie's finest and a watch that rarely gets offered for sale these days. It is the first edition Smiths PRS-29B which is 39mm and has the higher domed sapphire crystal. It was limited to 200 watches back in 2010.
Delighted to finally get hold of one, especially in such good condition.
Wifey collected this today to celebrate starting her own business. Got to love a bit of green and it also fits me nicely as a bonus :)
