Just arrived.
A JW Benson that - judging by the hallmarks on the Dennison case - dates from around 1950:

A quick application of Polywatch removed the worst of the superficial scratches on the crystal, and underneath that the dial appears to be in very good condition for what is almost a 70 year old watch. The applied gold numerals are nice and bright and the dial printing remains crisp. The 9ct case is also in smart order, but overall it will clearly benefit from some TLC and a service. That said, what I believe is a variant of the Cyma 162 calibre is ticking away very nicely.
A new strap is clearly called for, though at 15mm and with fixed bars the options appear to be somewhat limited. Anyone know of a good custom maker?
Although small by modern standards it sits very elegantly on the wrist, and the lozenge shaped case is a new departure from the norm for me.
I'll now have to keep my eyes open for a period JW Benson box!
Literally just handed over in a quick face to face amidst refurb chaos - a 1960 birth year Ingy 666. I've been after one of these for a few years now, and I have to say that this one is a beauty; the fact that it's also my birth year is the icing on the cake.
Better set it now...

Went in to buy the white dial one but left with the black dial :)
The black dial looks so much better in person, when the light catches it has a nice matte finish and the markers are a lot nicer, i really didn't like the black surrounds on the white dial markers.
Anyhow...

I much prefer the white Exp2 in the smaller case, but in this maxi case the white dial looks OTT and I prefer the black. Good choice :eagerness:
Cheap as chips @ £73 (including delivery from over Russia way).....

Love that Rado, I've found myself looking at them a couple of times over the last few months now. Looks superb!
Another thumbs up, super cool Rado.

I believe it was £2401 with a personal discount that jura had sent me after my last purchase but I hadn’t used ;-)
Wouldn’t let me use a discount on other new releases but it allowed it on this??
It has the crystal and clear caseback in comparison to my normal black 103 so will have to see if it’s worth the extra??

Charity auction win- really rather charming https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0930f85ec6.jpg
Just received this. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8c193b669e.jpg
Just google it. http://www.montblanc.com/en-gb/colle...ltra-slim.html
If we're patronising one another for not knowing how to Google, please may I point out that that link will only tell you what Montblanc call the movement, and that you need to carry on searching elsewhere to discover that its a 7001
(I don't know if they've modified it to remove the capacity for turning a small seconds subdial, or simply leave that unused, these things are beyond my understanding tbh)

Just landed - I upgraded from the Tag Connected to the modular mechanical.
Never had a mechanical Tag before and I’m very impressed. Fresh, light and clean lines.
Growing on me.
