    The Incoming / New Arrival Thread

    Got a new watch incoming?

    Excited?!

    Just thought it would be nice to have a single thread for the various "incomings" we all have, which in themselves wouldn't warrant a specific thread, but you still want to show them off...

    Here's my first incoming in quite some time (18 months or so), and should be here on Monday...;

    Let me know what you think of this as i have tried it on numerous times over the last month and think it would be a good addition to my white 42mm polar explorer.

    As i only have a three rule watch it would mean selling an Omega but i really like the Tudor.

    My daily wearer is the 42mm Polar ExpII, and I too thought it would be a good pairing :-)

    This one (the one on the left)....an old (& not very good) photograph of a lovely watch that is about to return to me. Anyone recognise it?

    I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of my B Day present which should be arriving early next week.

    Have wanted a blue dialed sport watch and ran across an uber cool Ltd Edt Zenith Defy Sea for sale! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh soon.

    Love the size and fit plus it's my first ever white dial.

    Quite a few people seem to dislike these but I think they’re great, especially the white dial.

    Nice to see a rather unusual piece; one of the lesser seen of the "Holy Trinity"

    I often looked at Aerospaces, but could never convince myself I wanted to spend that much on quartz watch.

    Then I spotted a B-1 in Watchfinder in the Royal Exchange and found one MUCH cheaper on SC

    I could never really get on with the fixed 'bezel' look on the Aerospace, especially the 'fittings' (or other Breitlings with similar features), which (along with a logical operation with two extra buttons) the B-1 solves. The picture of yours (now a couple of posts back!) looks much better in that respect to me. Is it just the photo or have they changed the look?

    That said, I can see the appeal of the slimmer case and Titanium for many.

    this might be the last watch i buy for a long time and actually, i think it is a pretty decent way to wrap things up.

    Just received a bambino from SC, heard so much about them so thought id give it a try

    First impressions were good, nice in every way and apart from lacking hacking/winding on the movement (first for me) it is keeping great time

    Don't know why but as good as it is i am not 'smitten' yet i cant bring myself to take it off



    Precious is not keen at all (brand snob)

    I was considering one of these myself but worried they'd be too big for my 7" wrists. To give me some perspective, what size wrist does Precious have?

    Expecting this one on monday!

    I had this before..At first I had the yellow dialed version wich a friend of mine liked so much I let him have it. When I told him there was also a black dialed version of it he also wanted that one, wich I found for him. As a watch addict I am always on the look out for the same kind of watches every day (sound familiar?). As I was lurking last week it popped up on the bay in NOS condition...at least that's what the seller said...Both the seiko "CAESAR" snda15P1 and snda13P1 I handed over to my friend were LNIB...I sold these to him about 3months ago... I always regret selling... I didn't really sell them as my asking price was what I paid for them....These are quite rare but for some reason I seem to bump in to them every now and then...Looks like I am getting another change to own a new one. This one I will keep...




    And now the hunt for the yellow dialed seiko snda15P1 continuous...

    WatchGecko goodies

    I got home from work tonight to this little box of goodies



    Ordered online on Saturday with free postage for delivery in 3-5 working days, so very surprised to see them here today. Lots of freebies like cleaning cloth, lug ruler and 3 free spring bars for each strap.

    First up, a brown leather natostrap from zuludiver for the moonwatch



    Next, a Bond Nato from zuludiver




    & finally for the Moonwatch is a little black leather number


    And now a black leather strap with red stitching for my SKX007

    Rolex BLNR arrived yesterday

    Christmas arrived early for me yesterday.
    I have been after one of these for a couple of years and now I'm not totally sure about it.



    If the watch is not sat just right the box lid will not fully close. I cannot believe it is actually smaller than the box my 11 year old datejust came in.





    The corners of each lug feel quite sharp and the bottom end of the side feels like running your finger across the blade of a knife.



    So not totally enamoured but given the time it takes to get one I will give a test run and see if it grows on me.

    Picked this up earlier this week from Wayne and it's my first venture into the world of AP although I've admired from afar for some time. The build quality and finish are rock solid and the watch is, as it should be for the price, extremely well put together with everything about it feeling and looking just right. My only criticism is the lack of finite adjustment on the bracelet that is up or down by adding or removing a link although they do a 1.5 size link which gives you a touch more precision. I've just ordered another from AP as its a bit tight at the minute and at £115 a pop I hope I only need the one. Also surprising is the lack of any secondary security on the bracelet which would certainly be useful in reducing the heart rate and BP!

    All in all though, an absolutely stunning watch and my first taste of the holy trinity

    I really like that watch. Shame when I tired it on its too big for my wrists.

    Itsa great idea to have a ongoing incoming thread !(just like pistonheads watch section)
