Just landed after waiting since launch.
Never had a yellow dial before and for me this was a surprising issue by Rolex. I was pleased to find the dial was a slightly deeper shade than I expected.
It wears much like my old OP39 on my 7.25inch wrist.
Love the yellow OP, tried one on a few weeks ago but it was reserved for someone else. Really like the coral red too but haven't seen one in person.
SPB237J1 just arrived from Jura today. Delighted with it. Everything I hoped. Hard to capture the textured grey dial through the domed sapphire so have added a pro shot that does.

Lots of run up to the Bank Holiday incomings above and some lovely watches. Just took possession of my third 1521 Squale, the first on a mesh bracelet which is surprisingly good quality, compared to the rubber straps on my others. It's difficult to really capture the curves of the 1521 case in a photo.....
I think the turquoise is probably in the top 5 most requested watches so I'm not going to embarrass myself by asking. Need to be in a different tier for that.
Looks nice but haven't seen one in real life. I think I'm a bit too close to Essex to be wearing one of those anyway.
I managed to snag my daughter a Turquoise 36 late last year and I am still kicking myself for not doubling up as my AD was still taking deposits at that stage not realising how overwhelming the demand would be.
At least she is happy, which is important

Arrived today from SC and it looks a good un. I know deep down it’s too small for me but it is lovely.
I think I would like to try it on a bund to help with the size. Steveo makes a G10 bund so I might put out a WTB or bite the bullet and buy one new.
The more I see pictures of that. The more I like it. Unsure if I could pull that colour off mind you.

7 month wait. 41mm wears a big on me but I will get used to it. Tried a 36mm in blue on the day I put my name down for this but that size seemed a bit too dainty.

I picked this up last week after a nice little face to face with Wiley and Jack. Loving it so far- managed to get the bracelet nice and comfortable and a cracking watch to do anything with.

And now to wait patiently for the team to adjust and regulate and send it on. I'm still not sure how they manage to include tax so I might get a nasty surprise.
Great shot Richard. Lovely watch and easily the most comfortable when in the right range. Sadly with thighs for wrists a 5% expansion of my wrist in heat is more than the adjustment Tudor give!
Coolness!
It's a shame Seiko discontinued their EPD efforts. Solar powered and with no insane battery drain, they could be a very viable alternative to smart 'watches'. I think the new fancy shmancy G-Shocks kinda fill the gap, but they're only available in an oversized form factor for now.
A chunk of German titanium. Should make a nice pair with the EZM3
After meeting up with Andy (Ey-Up) recently. He had me on the Doxa hunt. This has just landed.
I've got to say the quality is excellent. The case is solid with a mix of polished and matt finishes, crown action is spot on and as it's got an NH35 I don't envisage any timekeeping issues (relatively speaking).
The bezel action is crisp and tight with no vertical or lateral play. Dial and hands are perfect, no imperfections or dust at all. The yellow dial is a really nice yellow, not too bright which was my fear, and the black hands are a perfect contrast.
So far my only criticism is the position of the lug holes. I took the bracelet off as I wanted to fit a rubber but the holes are far too close to the case to fit any other strap I have except a Phoenix nato. This is a known criticism online.
Can't fault it up to now tbh.
