thats a hybrid between the YM and the AP DT you were considering!
looks great !
i think the gator looks lovely personally.

This arrived today. Small issue with bits of the previous owner on the strap and under the bezel, but fixed with alcohol swabs.
First impressions are that I’m really impressed, it’s a good size, but not too big, or too thick, and I really like the simplicity of it

It is the sort of thing they would do but, as you suggest, it would not come cheap. It would probably have a bit of one of the cars stuffed in it too.
Now if only there was a microbrand that made great value for money watches and who's owner ran a watch forum.....
Incoming #2 for the day. This is actually the green but it it looks black most of the time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b7295c72b2.jpg
Just got this but not sure if I'm going to keep it yet ;)

I picked this 6159-7000 up a couple of weeks back from a TZer, when he first offered it me I thought it was a scam and right up to the point we met up I was 50/50 about it being a scam of some sort but the seller turned out to be a real nice guy and the watch surpassed my expectations, it is now with Duncan/Thewatchbloke for a full service, I am then hoping that when Duncan is finished with it this will be my #1 watch for hopefully many years to come.
Just collected from the sorting office. Summer watch just in time for a break from work and (hopefully) a bit of sunshine!
AquaRacer with the grey dial and 41mm case, lug to lug 47mm, great size.

Thanks, it's back-on the cleaned & re-waxed Di Modell leather today, which proportionally works better:

I belatedly realise that this has scratched the "Bad Panda" itch I've had for a while, even if this particular lopsided Bamboo-Bear looks like it's had a stroke...
:thumbsup:
unfortunately the strap is too small :

and again, the strap is too small!

I bought a rolex prince online last week, this arrived today:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1d9df4f857.jpg
It was a bit of a shock, but it turns out the box and the watch were at different locations and were posted separately so I'm still waiting.
A day late and needs the bracelet sized so on a NATO for now

I called my local AD on Wednesday and enquired about a watch.
He said they had none in stock but would add me to the register.
This morning he rang and said that they had a delivery yesterday.
Popped in at lunchtime and now have this
Don't quite understand the fuss about waiting lists at ADs
Was I lucky or is this not one of the more desirable ones?

Very nice, I used to have an explorer too and love that it is so elegant and understated. I think it is one of the slightly easier to get models from the sports range

Just arrived this morning after a failed despatch on Friday. Not a 100% sold on this but will see how I feel after a day or two. Might be because I just spotted the white street tuna and something about it has really drawn me in. [emoji28]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f98fa4eb72.jpg

Collected this today...

Had that been what I wanted, that is what I would have bought. Fact is, just one 140 went into space, and had it not been stolen in a burglary of Sinn's premises, it would still have been massively more expensive than I could ever dream of affording. Lemania 5100 movement is a nice curiosity - but plastic components and - according to a watchmaker friend - a bit of a sod to service. So yeah, there's a reason why originals are cheaper, and several important reasons why I wanted the reissue.
Double incoming: grey perlon and greyhound just arrived!

First perlon and first dog. Both brilliant...although one is better suited to this heat than the other!

Just posted this on the sunshine thread but thought it had better go here too.
Picked it up today. It really is a beautiful thing and the fact there only 50 in the world makes it a bit special in my eyes.

Fair enough
That'll be two, Flade and Furrer wore them.
And I was advocating the model, not the acutal example, as I suspect you know.
The point is that the Lemania 5100 was chosen and used for clarity (central minutes) and shock resistance, something that the modified 7750 has much less capability to withstand.
Sinn are perfectly happy to service 5100s, as are many guys who know them.
I perfectly understand your points, but I believe that it ususally makes more sense to buy the original rather than the re-issue.
Unless the re-issue is significantly cheaper, or the only thing available.
Here neither is the case, the original is cheaper and available, so that would have been my choice. I respect yours, but prefer mine, even if it isn't a Sinn.

Quick and dirty of my first new arrival since falling off the watch wagon! Picked one of these up before the prices become completely insane. In need of a little TLC but there is a tonneau-shaped hole in the collection that this will fill nicely.
https://cxop7q.am.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none
New arrival coming today, no doubt there will be a couple of outgoings to make room but I am a bit excited.

I know you will have all seen the like before but images to follow :-)
Ordered a Bell & Ross BR-S a couple of weeks back,just been told is being shipped.I know the stock strap won’t fit my wrist ,so first job will be to sort a replacement.

Picked this up from Vince / Snoodles last week and it’s just been into Goldsmiths to get a new Rolex strap fitted. Very pleased!

Well I've been out of the game for a few years, but I'm sure I remember seeing them at a couple of hundred quid absolute tops back then. Now they seem to be £400 for a dodgy looking example and up to well over a grand depending on who's selling it. For the W10's that is, not sure about the other variants.
I received this beautiful Hanhart Pioneer Twin-control today from Jim (Jimmcb )This is my first watch https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8bc1bee1.plist
from the brand and I am really impressed with the quality of every aspect of the watch.
Lovely, glad you picked this up as I was having sleepless nights over this & now I can relax. Bit sad to be unable to buy due to Mrs Nealywheelie imposing a watch embargo for the foreseeable. The Baume that I purchased off SC recently did not go down well & I'm still feeling the aftershocks!

Seiko 7548-7000. An eBay impulse buy, but in far nicer condition than I was expecting.
In love :)
