The Incoming / New Arrival Thread

[daraghmack]

Picked up this yesterday, perfect condition, great lume, really impressed with quality for the price. It's also a JDM, I wanted a Japan built Seiko, I don't know why but I'm fussy about things like that.

I keep telling myself not to buy anymore Vostoks. This just appeared on Meranom's website and once again I succumbed.

Great case, bezel and dial - why wouldn't you?

Unusual steinhart from pretty early days finally due to arrive tomorrow from Australia of all places . Thought i knew steinharts models but this was a new one on me. Not a homage either (I don't think anyway?). Subdials are kind of green mother of pearl which is - er - unusual. But that's ok - I like unusual

I had one of those Steinhart and just felt clumsily executed.
And felt like a big block of steel. Loosely based on Daytona.
The recent one while still a huge watch is better executed IMO.

Three weeks ago I was reading through TZ and noticed that Carl at GGB was open for orders for a limited time. Decided to order a couple of straps, one for my Speedmaster with a "Giant Step" patch and another basic strap with an X-33 patch as I've long fancied the X-33. Both straps duly arrived on Thursday and coincidentally whilst scrolling through SC on Thursday night, a Gen1 X-33 appeared for sale! A couple of PM's with Mark the seller and on Friday morning we concluded the sale. He's a top bloke because this afternoon the watch arrived and I love it! Here it is on it's new GGB strap.

Wouldn't mind seeing a wrist shot of this combo, please.

Hi Sean, not sure I can capture it properly, but here's a couple of photos to try. Just to add, I've tried NATO's in the past and none have been as comfortable as these two.

Where did you get the perlon NATO and what size is it?

It's 22mm and I searched high low for an OD one. Finally found a good Aussie seller on Ebay.

Here you go. Took a while but arrived well and with a thoughtful thank you note.

This is my only Perlon so can't compare it to Eulit or others yet. I would like black next.

Thanks I just bought a grey one, 20mm. They look like good quality judging by the stitching around the keepers. I've asked for similar pics of this one which looks good too, with a decent buckle

I'll let you know what it's like if interested.

[ped]

This is coming today. Haven't had a Seiko for a while and was looking for something to take to our holiday hut in Wales later this year and also for swimming in (once pressure tested!)

EDIT: It's here and the dial is off centre, despite me checking with the seller and being told it was dead straight. Returning later today!

[Tokyo Tokei]

I'm late to the Polar Explorer fan club, but my recently acquired 16570:


It's a T series so about 1995, tritium dial and hands. I actually like the older clasp...

Arrived today and I love it. glossy piano style old box with papers and a spare stickered original 12 yr old bracelet!pretty much as new conditionsits comfortable in the wrist but then I like the Tudor black bay case shape so.....actually think it works better on black Hirsch than bracelet.

A cool trio! That Cyma looks great.

Always fancied one of these fantastic chunks of '70s madness.

Superb. A properly usable slide rule. Any practical use for you?

Thanks It's pretty cool and a huge 46mm!

That Steinhart just doesn't know what it wants to be - I don't think i've ever seen such a schizophrenic watch!

I daresay you'd know how to use the slide rule as well.

Funnily enough Matthew, I did think of you when I was taking the photo. The calculator is pretty vintage, but not compared to some of yours.

Looks like the perfect combination!

Well I know what you mean - but it's an arrival and I like it so really it's schizophrenia is neither here nor there (or both)

My second Tag Heuer. Fantastic quality and supremely comfortable. I know they don't have a great following on here, but this feels great for me!

Thanks Tim,

Vetta (in the past a big brand in Italy, originated Wyler-Vetta) diver from 1968 in an Epsa (Piquerez) 42mm supercompressor case on a B&S vintage strap. I like it on the wrist when wearing blue jeans..

Finally

[parsig9]

Have never seen this one, and it looks great. Sadly too large for me I think' such a shame because I love it.

The L2L is very short though

[Der Amf]

I would love to see the exact same thing in 39-41mm though..... I like how they kept the three marker and moved the date left a tad.

The second of these points would not be possible with the first - they didn't move the date to the left, they moved the numbers to the right....

I have become guilty of regarding Tag as 2nd rate through the forum collective. Recently getting back an appreciation for Tag after looking at the Autavia. Really like the Aquaracer collection and after spending stupid money on Rolex , Omega , IWC etc I can see the value in Tag.
Lovely looking solid watch I may soon join you!

[Der Amf]

I do like those dodecagon* bezels. I was admiring them in Goldsmiths window a few days ago. There was one with a grey dial in particular that looked very nice. Possibly a bit smaller than the others? Unfortunately they weren't next to each other so I couldn't be sure

Edit: looking through the TAG website, most are 43mm but there are also some at 40.5 and 41. This must have been the one that was catching my eye, the WAY2113.BA0928






*yes I had to look this word up

[parsig9]

Ah, I see. Date wheels go where they go and so the rest is adjusted....unless you make your own movement, and then not for the cost.

Just learning about this part of it.
Well then I'm glad it's larger.

And I should have said I was happy they did not eliminate the 3 I suppose....

Now that Ranger is super easy to read. Excellent and just a bit of color on the sweeper.

New to the forum, picked up a Tag Heuer Aquaracer (ceramic Calibre 5) on Tuesday last week

[Guido-K]

Purchased from Caruso. Thanks Dan :)

Just picked up this titanium stunner from hhh. Loving it, so comfortable. Still in T5 waiting for flight back to Dublin hence the poor pic. Ps sadly no SS sport Rolex in the T5 outlet save for the usual suspects.

Obligatory wrist shot, after I'd replaced the original battery !

Congratulations it's a lovely watch. The gold hands really make it pop. The Radiomir is often overshadowed by the Luminor which is a shame as it's a lovely design

Thanks. It is my first radiomir and I like it a lot. Very comfortable on the wrist and wears smaller than the 45mm case would suggest.

Luch One-Hander. 36mm, manual wind, ultimate readability.

Mounted on a 20mm Hirsch Duke which I think suits it well.
