It is a 44mm watch but wears smaller due to lug design so this can fit any wrist (no overhang). Light, simple, legible, quite thin and a true Tutima original design. The deep dial seems to float sometimes. Very comfortable bracelet, indestructible eta 2836, overall a really nice piece. Would recommend to anyone

Another Sinn landed for me today. Now in double figures of 556’s I’ve owned!! Must keep this one.
Arrived last Saturday courtesy of Neil at Chronomaster. Put it on this cheapo yellow to see if it works and it does imo so now need a good yellow strap and I don't know where to get one.
Arrived today from the elves at Gnomon; 4 days! Been on my wish list for a little while. Have to say that first impressions are it is lovely :)

Just a suggestion. I know it's not fancy, but I swear by these. Code SAVE25 will get you under the import threshold as well, so none of that faff to worry about.
That watch somehow asks for a rubber strap, but if you're looking for leather, you might want to consider this:

I ordered the red and brown and they should arrive tomorrow. The makers stand behind their product.
You may know this already, but the square at the end of the long part of the strap is totally genius IMO. The keeper has a small square on the inside of it that slots perfectly into that square hole on the end of the strap. So the keeper stays in place. You don't see the square at all once it's on wrist.
Check out this video, the relevant part starts at 3 mins 30 seconds in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktVGfduEKBA

Ha, I totally forgot it's different now (not affected myself, based in Ireland). It's a ~€30 purchase in Spain, so you'd need to check where it falls.

Just arrived. Been wanting one of these for years and finally bought one. Not sure about the Nato it came with, but it's growing on me. Love the watch though.

I posted this on the Friday thread but I like it enough to post twice. It arrived today courtesy of TheGent, a forum members who’s name matches his character. On a lovely horween but may end up on a perlon as the weather improves.
Nice subtle, understated arrival from Chrono24 today
Been looking for ‘Save the Ocean’ Turtle for sometime, yesterday this one fell in my lap for a price I could not refuse!

This arrived in the week, I don’t have a GMT and I quite like busy dials on pilot/aviation watches.
I’ve seen Torgoen’s on some colleagues wrists over the years, and they’ve always been quite positive about them, but I always assumed they were all big 47mm watches. Ok, this is still 44mm, across the bezel, but works fine on my 7 3/4” flat wrist.
I got an email from Torgoen saying the new T21 Flight GMT was available to order, so took a punt. I’m impressed for a sub £300 quartz (with the fabric strap as well as the stock leather), the seconds hand hits all the markers (a personal bugbear of mine when they don’t!) and the case is extremely well finished with very crisp edges. The GMT hand lines up and does the job. I nearly ordered the cream dial, but went for the blue in the end.

My second in the last week and my first IWC. Much nice than the photo portrays. Yes that's an ill-fitting 18mm on it at the moment.
Quick couple of pics. Only just picked this up after months of deliberating on my first gold watch. Very happy. My pictures don’t do it justice - The blue bezel looks incredible!
Another forum buy for me. What a watch. Having come from mostly 40mm+ cases it takes a bit of getting used to but it is nice to have a few smaller, smarter pieces & this fills the special occasions slot perfectly.
Testament to the movement, despite the 70yr odd age, the winding action is more positive than any other I've had.
I've looked at several Sinns in the past and wanted one for a while, but never thought this would be my first. But I love it, so legible and a great size.

Very nice indeed. Playing with the man maths again, I find it incredible that the list price of this watch is more than £10k higher than the cost of my first house in 1984 which required a 25 year mortgage to buy.
Enjoy, lovely to see one in the flesh and I think much nicer than the previous Blue dial version, though I'm sure there are those who have to have both.
Thanks Rob :-)
I agree Ken, I’ve spent a lot of time comparing watches I’ve bought to other things in the past. Even things today. My wife says I always over think everything so I’m trying to knock that on the head.
The blue bezel really is lovely - my lack of photographic talent doesn’t really show it in its best light!
Was a bit of a steal at the time. Built just after WW1 it was a lovely house overlooking the Mersey, across to Formby and out to Liverpool Bay. Some old dear had just died and the house was run down. Wish I'd kept it now, be worth about £350k, which is probably still peanuts against prices down South.
