The Incoming / New Arrival Thread

[mondie]

The Sinn 103 Sa B E is my latest attempt at finding a blue keeper watch. I am undecided on it yet as it feels a little small at 41mm but it sure is a beauty in the sun. The legibility is excellent as is the timekeeping.

New arrival from auction, box, links, all there. Adjusted the bracelet, new battery, she's like new.

After a long wait, I finally have my hands on a Konstantin Chaykin "Joker". It is a real work of art! It brings a smile to my face every time I check the time.

If ever a watch was a “conversation starter” then this is it. Very nice.

The Brellum Pandial Grey Meteor.

It's based on a highly decorated ETA/Valjoux 7750, COSC rated movement.

That's lovely, I keep overlooking Brellum, thanks for reminding me. Great watch at a very sensible price, it really does 'punch above it's weight' IMHO.

Thanks. They certainly do punch above their weight..

That's very nice! The brand is new to me, but looks quite impressive having had a browse of the website.

Very nice indeed, and refreshing to see something from one of the less overhyped brands, too

They're well worth considering. Sebastien, the owner, adds a very personal touch by keeping you aware of how your watch is progressing. He makes them to order.

Lovely piece! I did have a question what colour is the bottom half? Red or?



S

To my eyes its a red colour, under bright lights the blue seems a bit purple, but red seems to stay consistent

[hawkit]

Congrats. Lovely watch! I am waiting for one too! Do you mind me asking if you had to buy other pieces first? Thanks.

Cheers thanks, Im enjoying it.

No, not to buy this. I've bought one watch from them before, which was an SD50 when they came out, but no enforced purchases or anything like that

Most show this post to my other half as a “learning opportunity” for her! to be fair, she is very supportive of my hobby!

How are you finding this smart watch?

Somehow I managed to remain resistant to Tudor's appeal up until quite recently, but I found myself finally taking a closer look and been a little floored by the quality. As I've commented in another thread, I recently had a great experience at Harrods and managed to get an OG 58 after just a few weeks on the wait list. It is currently my favorite watch and I am very happy indeed. https://ibb.co/cDVBZZx

Absolutely over the moon to have a Riseman back in the fold after quite a few years of absence... probably my favourite G of all time and so wearable for a large watch.

[Hood]

Sold my BP Milspec 3 wks ago and got a day/date in P/ex which I fancied trying.
Finally got round to getting a B&S strap for it but as has been kindly pointed out I will need gold spring bars too
Anyway a couple of pics

Looks lovely. Can I ask why gold spring bars or was that tongue in cheek ?

[wileeeeeey]

Lovely day date and strap combo, really looks good. I bet gold spring bars make you grit your teeth while you entering your pin into the card reader.

The Gold on the case is softer than the steel of normal spring bars so the bars will wear the pin holes in the case as a result.
So better to have something of similar hardness.
I hadnt thought about it tbh but makes sense when you think about it.
Thanks for the comments on the watch.

Over the moon and should have got it sooner.

Anyone know a smart way to take a photo of the serial on the rehaut? I normally take one on each watch for insurance purposes but the domed sapphire is making it really difficult.

Congratulations, I’m really drawn to these, I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts on it compared to the 126600.

[Cat7]

Traded my Doxa 300 Sub a few years ago as the dial felt too small, but picked the larger 1500T up from Andy recently and it feels much better. Great to have a Doxa back.

It feels lighter on my wrist and more comfortable. Perhaps it's the weight being over over more surface area or maybe the titanium caseback is doing a good job. I wore the SD43 for 2.5 days before collecting to see if I could notice the added weight but I couldn't, it just felt a bit more comfortable. The 126600 SD43 is meant to be 194g and the 126660 DSSD 228g.

So far I'm really happy with it and I think after the honeymoon period it will settle as my favourite. If anything it has highlighted to me what a shame it is that the SD43 comes with the same clasp as the Sub and a Cyclops. It would make more sense to position the SD43 as a mini DSSD rather than the Sub XL it is currently. Still a great watch, I'm just picking holes.

One thing I really wasn't expecting was how thick the watch doesn't look when you're looking at the time. Side on it's massive, no getting around that, it's huge. Yet when you look at it to check the time the dial is set quite far inside the watch because of the "original gas escape valve" ring. If that ring wasn't there, or if the dial was at the same level as that ring, and not below it, it would look massive.

I used to think people on here who said the DSSD isn't that big and that it hides its weight/size were kidding themselves but now I'm one of them. I still wouldn't wear it to work with a suit but you'd probably need MTM shirts for that anyway!

[Craizeehair]

Thanks Wiley, that’s really useful.

I have often wondered if the two could coexist in a four watch collection (I’ve decided that’s where I want to be... probably) I wouldn’t want to move the 126600 on, it’s arguably not the most exciting watch but I feel it works incredibly well for me.

If I can resist the inevitable temptation to revisit the 4 and 5 digits again, this could be a serious contender.

Congratulations :) Cool purchase. I have to agree with most of what you’ve said regarding the DSSD size and wearability. Wrist size plays such a big part. My 116660 is nicer than my old 114060 in that it feels superior and more nicely finished and definitely an upgrade. 114060 was a great sports watch but was a touch too dressy. A DSSD would never be considered dressy IMHO. Try a Rubber B strap with it for a really casual /sporty look.

Congrats! It is a great piece.

I had the blue version for almost two years. Loved all the technical and design aspects about it. Just couldn’t get it to fit right. The lugs could have been designed better to wrap around the wrist better. (Such as the AMVOX or the Sonata streamline- both large 44/45mm watch but the lug design makes them wearable). Thought long and hard and let it go a month ago.

Enjoy! I will miss that whizzing sound the 1/100th of a second chronograph makes as it flies across the dial!

I have an Everest coming next week for my SD43 so will see how it goes. I bet rubber does wonders for the weight.

Since I don’t actually own the bracelet I couldn’t comment, however the DSSD is very comfortable in the RubberB...

The Rubber B does look good though, have to admit. The way it fits snug to the watch head without leaving the usual strap gap is superb, more like a rubber bracelet

The rubber also makes the watch look visually 'lighter' - the watch head looks absolutely massive with the bracelet.

[AlphaEchoAlpha]

Spotted this on eBay, wanted one for a while as I love my monopusher, can't have too much of a good thing right?

Just arrived but I love it.

I tried a rubber b on 116660 and whilst I liked it, and it was a comfortable wearer, I wanted a blue one so moved it on. Tried it on a canvas whilst I await a Pacific blue rubber b.
