    New one for the Mrs, but I'd happily wear it if she'd let me.

    That Meraud Antigua is lovely. The white variant is also a beaut, I would have had a hard time picking which one to go for.

    Thank you it wasn’t an easy choice but for extra legibility of the aged lume against the black dial rather than the sand dial is what made me go for the black.

    Oops. I've just sent mine back. The case and bracelet are really excellent but not if you have a small wrist as the 1st link on the bracelet doesn't articulate sufficiently. Unfortunately I found the dial completely underwhelming as it's really flat whereas the highlighting on the case edges makes it appear the complete opposite.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Have to admit, I'm completely underwhelmed and can't see what the fuss is about.

    £745 all in, bud. Included a very thorough case refurb.
    IWC website has a pricing page, you enter the serial number and select all your various service options, then it pops out the price as an official quote.

    Mweh, i guess it’s just a fun watch on the side for little money. Not haute horology.

    black and gold looks striking, but the sub dials look unreadable?

    Collected today after being called last week. Dead chuffed. It was worth the wait! (sorry about the quick photo!)

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Lovely, had that exact model - and now I miss it, but the silly lug spacing: not so much!

    Possibly the rarest watch I’ll ever have. One of 45!

    No, it’s the nightstage chronograph. Afaik it’s the only version that wasn’t a Hodinkee exclusive.

    Small detail, but I really like the way the day date is offset below the quadrant line, but still level. Very well executed.

    Love that in white, Ryan. More so that the black, has a very A-ha Take On Me vibe about it.

    The white looks like it belongs in the original Paddington TV show :D

    I love them both, have both on the way from Jura (at some point…)

  42. #19792
    I had ordered the white but cancelled it because it sounded like they had no clue if they could fulfill it.
    I think it looks great but it was for my wife and in hindsight I think it’d be too big for her.

    My 4th MM300. We shall see:) best part is that it’s not mint so I will actually wear it and the icing on the cake is that it’s been serviced. Happy days :)

    Actually arrived 2 months ago but I didn't like the original strap and it took a long time to get round to finding one I did want to pair it with!

    Loving this LE from Seiko. The dial is almost GS-esque and the ghost bezel really sets it off.

    This one arrived yesterday. I’ve always loved the B-42 and owned a titanium 5100 edition many years ago, this one is kind of similar to my Stratoliner but they wear really differently.

    I’ll try and take some more pics and do a joint review…somewhen!
