It's been a busy few weeks.
A bit chunky but a lovely clear dial and nice vintage Explorer feel.
This has just been added to the collection. A Sinn 358. It's probably the only watch I would ever need.

Silly value for money with this one.
Monocoque titanium case
300m
Sapphire
5 years warranty
All for less than £170 new from a uk dealer with next day delivery!
Don’t like the original strap though hence the marine nationale style
Just delivered and tried on for the first time, the Patek 5212A weekly calendar on a darker PP strap. Absolutely smitten. Some colourful suede, ostrich, and calf straps already on order!

I had some reservations when I first saw it - especially on the lighter tan strap it came with. Not sure why they chose that particular colour, but it does it no justice. This watch is a strap monster, and it instantly gets upgraded selecting almost any other colour strap over the original. It has taken me by total surprise as to how easily it wears, and I like it for the fact it doesn’t instantly recognise as a Patek.
I had a very similar conversation when I was picking up a strap I had made for my 6119g. Patek can choose some very unflattering straps for their watches, particularly the tan / choc brown ones. If I can get out the office today I’ll be picking up a new strap for my 5524g to replace the standard brown one which isn’t to my tastes.
Great watch, I’ll look forward to seeing some of your other strap choices.
Recently received Heuer from a superb forum member.
PRS4 with a Zeno dial arrived this morning. First time trying a PVD watch and very happy with it.
SBBN015 - Love it!

Picked this SD43 up from tommyzzj on sales corner, what an absolute beast weight wise, you know you’re wearing it! That glide lock clasp is next level as well, basically negates the need for adding or removing links

Today this arrived, a Kurono Toyko Chronograph 2 White. Love the detail not top sure if I will be keeping, as I feel it looks a little too small on the wrist, even though I believe same size in diameter
Just need to decide on which I keep this as it is was limited to an estimate of 500 where as the Toki had a far larger production.
BTW I have the Toki on a aftermarket £8 bracelet.

I went for a taupe colour, picked it up yesterday and very pleased. It is actually a bit lighter than it looks in this picture.
I ordered a blue Patek strap through my AD back in October and I'm still waiting for it, absolutely mental.
If it’s under 5 minutes a day I’d wear it for a bit and, besides, it’ll probably be in a queue until it gets a slot on somebody’s bench.
Here's my latest purchase from a few weeks ago. Titoni Seascoper.

I think the Tan leather strap suits the 5524R but completely agree with you that for the 5524G you need something more complementary (subtle) for the White Gold case, or for Steel of the 5212.
Interested to hear where you get those alternate straps from if not your PP AD. Thanks

New incoming from JP last week. Absolutely stunning.

Just a few iPhone snaps from this morning. I’m absolutely falling for this piece - it is so very wearable in more casual and relaxed settings. Favourite parts other than the dial itself are the stepped lugs. Some good articles on this 5212A reference from the usual suspects.
I guess 2/3 years since I first told my AD that I loved the watch at its launch at Baselworld 2019. Mind you, I have a list of models that he has me down for… my ‘reward’ tends to be one per year.

Picked this up a few days ago, had been tracking it for a while.
