Wanted an easy pick up watch for holidays and liked the colour.
This is arriving tomorrow. It's been on my shopping list as soon as it hit production. Martin Compston has been wearing one in his BBC travel show, Scottish Fling. That was the final straw. I had to get one. The way Longines have designed that stunner of a blue starburst dial is something rather special.
This came in today. Fantastic watch and quality for the money. The strap is not too my taste but first impressions are excellent.
Anther GS for me, can’t wait to see it properly in natural light

Just arrived my first ever Doxa. Wears very nicely albeit much smaller than expected from a 42.5mm case.
Photos simply don't do them any justice @abraxas they really do look 60s the domed crystal with the domed dial are something else.
It’s really nice although not sure it’s a keeper yet. I like the look of dive watches but not so keen when I have them on!
The quality is amazing for the price point. The tolerances and finishes are great and way above any Seiko I have handled around the £1000 mark.
Popped into my local Rolex AD to get a strap swap for my Yachtmaster Oysterflex and was offered the Pelagos 39. Got them to swap over to the rubber strap and I'm a happy chappy.

Just arrived. This is a nice touch, isn't it? Came with an unexpected extra strap, and the watch was running with the time set correctly to within one second!
The NATO is of very good quality, I think the nicest one I've had along with the one that came with my PRS-40. 36mm, screw-down crown and just a slightly different spin on the Explorer style. Like my Newmark field watch, has a quartz movement with a sweeping second hand.
Wrong thread.
Picked up today; the snappily named “Prospex Black Series Night Vision King Samurai - Limited Edition”
Was a bit worried that it would be too big for me at almost 44mm, but it seems to wear nicely on my scrawny wrist!

A slightly different new arrival than I was planning to post. I've occasionally bought a watch to celebrate a particular milestone and in 2010 marked a promotion by buying a Deepsea which I still have.
I am now retiring and so wanted to mark this in a similar way and acquired my retirement watch a little while ago but with my wife insisting that I didn't wear it until 1st October. Yesterday, the joy of wearing the new watch for the first time, was completely overshadowed by my wife throwing a surprise retirement party attended by family and friends........... and with a very special cake.
Yes a cake based on my original Deepsea!
Being with friends and family was incredible, so much more important than any watch and was a reminder of just how lucky I am to have them, especially Mrs DSSD.
I will now be reminded of the day every time I wear my new watch.
Waited a long time for this beauty

Looking good.
A nice pair Michael.
My latest addition. I haven't owned a Doxa for years so it's good to get a Carribbean back in the collection. An incredible watch considering it's 1200m depth rating.
The blue Bisonstrap looks pretty good on it.

First Sinn courtesy of Ant. New rubber strap added which compliments it well and now my new daily.
Loving the plain 3/6/9/12 dial.
