It was heading back to Germany, but decided to give it a whirl instead.... Rather like it, not as small as I thought it would be once on.

Very nice. I do like a double-signed dial.
Got this on Sunday but sadly (and happily) not for me. Went to my father in law who is very much in love! Sneaky wristshot from when I got back to the car because I wish it was mine. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3fd31d5d17.jpg

Landed last week but finally been able to have time to take a pic.
Needless to say, I'm very happy!

This hobby hurts my wallet.
Got a call today that I could view the new Tudor GMT albeit a leather strap version. Whilst I think it's a lovely piece I was a little underwhelmed with it.
The local AD had also just started to sell Bremont and this caught my eye in the window......once on there was no way it was coming off.

After a rubbish year the wife and I had a weekend away in Wales near Swansea. Did a bit of shopping, well, most of the xmas shopping actually and for once the wife didn't drag me away, rolling her eyes, from the watch shop windows I tend to loiter round when i find them.
In fact she drags me in and gets me to try a few on, then promptly produces a credit card and buys me this - sorry for the ropey iPhone shot.

I've wobbled over Breitling in the past for all the usual reasons, marmite looks, precipitous depreciation, usually eta movements but this seems to address all of these issues for me. A (kind of) in house movement, classic looks, depreciation I can overlook as the watch was bought for a reason, will be being engraved at some point and then handed down to one of my kids at some point so resale is not an issue. The thing is all that was forgotten when it went on my wrist, it just felt right and still does.

I presume that was Deacons in Swindon? I've never been a fan of Bremont but liked some of the models on display. I hope Richard does well with them.
Also tried on the BB58 which, with a date complication, would be almost the only watch I would ever need...

This beauty arrived today and I can't say I miss the wavy dial IMHO.

Thanks to Jamie... Now I have one of each dial.

I was fortunate enough to enjoy a tour of the Bremont workshops today - superb. It was organised on the back of a military special edition though my watch isn't yet ready. Not to be too disappointed, I purchased this directly from Bremont (a quick shot taken this evening in poor light in my study).

It was interesting to note that Bremont is currently developing an in-house movement that it's believed will be ready in around 2 years.
For a cheap watch, pretty impressed with this little Seiko that I picked up yesterday. 1st one I’ve owned as always ignored them as a brand, but the dial really jumped out at me.

I can see why it jumped out at you, that it is very blue. I like it.

bardo dobrze (Which hopefully translates as very nice )
Orient have recently released the Mako 3 series and part of it is a Blue Mother of Pearl / Coral Dial limited edition. Just had to get one. The dial is superb and changes colour every time you expose it to different light situations.
The watch is limited to 2,000 units, which I suppose is quite a lot for an Orient.

Finally, a comparison shot next to the limited edition from the original series.

Update: the watch was returned. The crown action is dreadful and near impossible to screw down. The Mako 1 (the Yellow pictured above) has a superb crown and works a treat, but when the Mako 2 came out the crown was a grumble. The Mako 3 is even worse. It is so small and fiddly and leaves you not sure if it has actually screwed down or not. I couldn't jump in water with this on as I would be afraid that the crown was slightly open.
I got a full refund. It is a georgous looking watch, but unless you have very slim and nimble fingers you might want to pass - not one for the banana finger brigade, which I must be a signed up member of.
Being an absolute sucker for a square G I set myself the task of finding the cheapest DW5600-1E that I could find. For the most basic G-SHOCK there is, it's actually quite tricky to find one at a reasonable price. There's many a dodgy dealer out there. So after much scouring of eBay and other web sites I found a new one at the very reasonable price of £49.99 at JB Watches.
When it arrives, I'll pop it on a combi bracelet and enjoy a basic but entirely honest and classic watch.
This was supposed to be my new beater watch until the wife decided it would look better on her!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...282ab90e26.jpg

Got this from my wife today.
I used to have a MM300 and currently have an SRP777 and this really is the best of both. Prefer it over the MM300. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...402f779256.jpg
Another GS for me and in the flesh it is a beauty. Not easy to capture the dial however!!
3 different poor photos!

Which model GS is that? Looks like a sbgr053 that I have but yours has a white date window?
