Thanks and fair enough I get that some find the Chronos 'challenging' and it is only a watch, so feel free to shoot holes. I will love it all the same.

It's a year or more since I spent over a grand on a wrist bauble, especially when bargains like this are available, not a bracelet fan so a simple black nato...

Good for you for going for it mondie. Head vs heart and heart came out on top.
Won't be for many, isn't for me, and there are for more sensible options for the same money but it would be a boring place if all we had on here were Subs and Seamasters.
This is such a great watch. I have the dark Everest text variant but am thinking about trying this newer model when they are back in stock next year. My current one is scuffed and scratched, and I would enjoy the highlighted text and rivetless bracelet with button clasp. How are you liking yours?
This arrived today . It’s not as big as I thought it would be . Build quality is great

Trying out Elliot Brown - here’s the Tyneham received today, out in the rain.

Not really a chrono guy anymore but had to try this one, absolutely love the oddball.
I love the hands and dial layout and components. They have packed a great amount of information there, and it's actually really well balanced and symmetrical. Those pushers are another matter entirely .... ;)
With the new U version the 5610 is probably the best value, best featured G-Shock around. I still prefer the GW-5000 but the 5610 is a great choice.
Wanted one of these for a long time - slate dial Tudor Black Bay Bronze.
Came on green Tudor woven strap, which though I'm not really a NATO fan is nice for a fabric strap, but I also squeezed on an old olive Panerai strap I had in the box, nice on that too. (Even found a bronze buckle in the box). Need to get the proper Tudor strap and buckle for it though, my intention is to wear it on leather.
Perfect size at 43mm, useful 52mm lug to lug gives it a bit of wrist presence, decent amount of heft without being overbearing. I had planned to strip back the patina and start again, but other than a bit of blotching between the lugs where it's been on fabric, the patina, about three years' worth according to the papers, is remarkably even. Reminds me of the colour of a very old, very beautiful bronze Budda I had in my hippy days 30 odd years ago, which was purloined by a mental ex-GF (though worth the loss to be shot of her) - not quite there yet in terms of colour depth, but definitely getting here.
This is a really lovely thing. I've had a few bronze watches now including a cool looking Archimede flieger and an Eterna Kontiki Manufacture diver, but this is by far the nicest I've owned. When funds recover I'll be stalking a bronze Zenith Chronometro Tipo CP2 Flyback to sit alongside ...
Try it on the brown tudor strap looks great

Freshly built this morning. Wanted to try a MOP dial for a while.
New incoming, unfortunately not for me but a Christmas gift for my dad.
In town getting both flu & covid booster, quick window shop past Ernst Jones, saw these on display for 30% RRP (Seiko London have offered me the same offer from a few years ago regarding a failed service - but they never have this watch in stock).
& here it is with is 38yr old sibling. Vintage one originally my dads then passed down to me.
I must say the modern one wears well, start is super soft also.
I just ordered the new Timex Q Chronograph...and separately, a steel mesh band to match.

I like that Timex chrono, looks v nice!
That Timex looks great and a very reasonable price too.

new to me via SC, always liked the look of these and v impressed with it so far;
never thought I would end up with 2 top notch divers to choose from :) I thought I was all done after buying the GO. But I was reading reviews and old posts on the Fifty Fathoms when I noticed this one on SC so I thought I would try it. Both on the chunky side but comfy on the straps and rubber :)

Congratulations, the Fifty Fathoms has been my grail for quite a while and I got mine just over a week ago. It is a beautiful watch, incredible dial and so well made. Enjoy it in good health.
yes - Italian dealer on the card so must be your old one :) still on the forum & in excellent condition.. Loving the stealthy titanium look but TBF I really liked the blue guilloche version you had as well..
no screwdrivers but ordered 2 x Wera's from Ebay that arrived quickly and it was easy to change over, like you said in your review, a lot easier than GS screws :)
cheers,
bry
Yep, I bought from Tim but never got any wrist time and I managed to get a NoRad and SD43 so wouldn’t have improved - don’t think I had the screwdrivers, but wouldn’t have near it…took it to my AD to add a couple of links and even the front shop staff were freaked out and gave it to the watch servicing team to do!
Enjoy in good health Bry

I think one through the forum would be my choice. There was a glut of brand new Blancpains inc gold models at Subdial a little while ago which I can only imagine were the remains of some package deals so I definitely wouldn't be buying brand new.
Only things which put me off at the huge Blancpain engraving on the side of the case, no adjustment on bracelet and Richemont. Definitely on the radar but will see how the next few years go. Need to get through my R "wish list" first.
