Would you mind sharing how long you waited? Thanks

It doesn’t qualify as a “wait” in my case, I feel. When this model was revealed (Basel 2019?) I spoke to AD and said I liked it. I got the impression it was never going to happen (just like my interest in steel professional Rolex is often disregarded). We never spoke about it after that. I was surprised to be contacted last week and be asked if I was still keen. They certainly didn’t make a note back then (at least not in my presence) but remembered from over 3 years ago. Sign of the times I guess.
Finally got my hands on an early Breguet 3800. Bought via Sotheby's in New York, waited 5 weeks for delivery but well worth it

Picked up today.
Nice, clean, pre-owned example got below list price along with a few straps.
Wanted a handwind, in-house, 100m, 38mm, lumed summer sports/dress watch that can dress up or down. Boom Nomos

^^ love the Nomos… often think a Club is my perfect watch
One of the massive positives of Nomos is how they treat their customers. It's like it's their privilege to sell you a watch rather than the other way round (like some). My four month old Club was running 11 seconds slow a day. They had a courier collect it, ship to Germany and back in my hands within two weeks. It now runs one second fast a day. In communication nothing seemed like too much trouble for them. That's how I want to be treated when I spend a considerable amount of money (for me) with a company.

Do like Nomos but can't be doing with a polished case. Would it be wrong to bead blast one?
Quick and dirty pic after sizing the bracelet, no doubt it’s a wonderful bit of kit, not too sure if it’s a bit too techy for me but I’ll give it a bit and see how I feel.
Well just too damn excited to wait until I’ve got home and sized the bracelet, so here’s a quick and dirty pic waiting for the train to depart

This landed with me yesterday, PRS-47 Smiths Commando, eBay pick up.
I had an Everest before with the greyed out ‘Everest’ text and felt it unbalanced the dial a bit, so I prefer the Commando text being there as it is (I know the latest Everest has remedied this). I also prefer stick hands to Mercedes. I really fancy the new Tudor Ranger, but think it might be a bit oversized and this does a similar job at a fraction of the price. You can’t argue with the build quality for the money.
This is V1, with the black dial which I prefer to the newer tropical dial, but if I was nit picking I’d rather have the shorter thinner hour hand and the clasp of the newer version. All in all a good pick up though, am happy with it.

Missed my navi 01 so it’s nice to have another one in the collection - although 48MM I think it wears well

One week in with the Sub and I have to admit that I'm favouring it a little more than the BLRO.
I suspect that will change once the Jubilee is delivered.

Not the watch, the book arrived yesterday
A very nice flick through it is too.
New to me AP arrived yesterday.
I do really like that Longines, been thinking of picking one up myself .. albeit on the bracelet. Congrats.
/vince ..
I'm not a huge fan of the Speedmaster but the Snoopy is something else. Totally transforms it for me.
I imagine Omega charge through the nose for their bracelets?
Bought this off Bazzman on a whim, it looked quite rough in the photos, but half an hour with a toothbrush and some Polywatch, added an old Boctok strap and it’s really quite nice
