I've had one of these on my radar for a while now...when I found one with 20% off (395 to 316) I decided to go for it...swapped the OEM olive NATO for this silver grey but to be honest there are a load of options this watch could easily carry off..

I have just added a watch I had never dreamed of owning, but in my epiphany moment I saw Chinnocks For Sale post and threw caution to the wind and dived in. I have bought Jasons lovely Rolex DSSD 116660. I am chuffed to bits. [emoji16]

Well, after a longer than anticipated wait, it finally arrived this morning. I don't think in all my time of waiting for a watch, I've ever been so excited and, upon opening the box, I was not disappointed.

A Damasko DC86 Orange on the bracelet together with the black and orange Robby strap for when I want a different look.

After adjusting the beautifully engineered bracelet, it's on the wrist.

I felt I had to order one of these when I first watched this video in January. The level of thought that's gone into the effective re-engineering of the movement really grabbed my interest and, the action of the bezel he describes is spot on. SO PLEASED!

Very cool, BSB.
I was expecting my Snoopy to arrive today but was in the garden when the knock happened.
Waiting on a redelivery confirmation
Do you know, in my excitement, I'd neglected to notice that this morning. I'd looked at it to see how to adjust the bracelet (really easy and so well engineered) as it appears to act mainly as a manual but, you're right. In the front it has written my name as the buyer and the watch model and serial number and date of purchase.

Absolutely chuffed to bits with it, thank you.
Quite a special one this one, wanted one for years and its the last one the AD will ever receive

^^^^^^^^^^^
Many congratulations.
The 5146 is one of my favourites from Patek Philippe.
I too had the same configuration.
Wear it in the best of health.

Initial thoughts are that it's stunning! I had three concerns about this watch; the 39mm case size, the legibility of the hands against the white dial and the orange-ness of the orange. None of these concerns were justified as the orange is no more than a slight accent of orange, the hands are very legible indeed and it feels more like a 40/41mm on the wrist!
The crown action is lovely, as is the decorated rotor that's visibly through the clear casebook. The mix of polished and satin edges is perfect. It's also nice to not have to think about whether the chapter ring and bezel pip line up on a watch.
I would have liked the bracelet version but plumbed for the hybrid black strap as it kept the price to 495 and I can always add the bracelet later if I feel the need.
The presentation box and packaging is fantastic and a really nice touch is the hand written and personalised guarantee card.
I feel this is a brand that just knows how to do it right.
Looks great! Talked myself out of one due to the small size but if you are saying they wear larger.......Comparable quality wise to the Super Compressor?

Finally, the stars aligned for me (apologies for poor quality picture).

Such a beautiful watch, congrats for getting one so quickly. Im looking forward to trying the white gold version on in the coming weeks although I think I may find it a bit small.
Its quite big, its the maximum I can go to and my eyesight isnt great so needs to be easy to read, the other references were too small. It doesnt sit right yet because the strap hasnt softened up to fit the curve of my wrist; a bit of warmth and sweat will work wonders.
39mm and from a different angle this time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8ebf5b61a2.jpg

Very handsome indeed. Was looking at these a while ago and forgot all about them. Now very firmly on my radar.
Looking forward, hopefully, of more photo's to come.

Thanks.
It certainly does.
I do like that vintage vibe with the Favre Leuba Sea Sky being the perfect example and another new addition.

Any idea what the red 50 is for @ the 300 tachy' scale?

If Im perfectly honest I only tried it on (on a rubber B) to get an idea of size as when I tried my pals Liberace (two tone, MOP diamond dial) on it seemed small even for my wrists. This is a perfect size (Ive accepted that an AP ROO diver is just too big for me and I wont be buying a third) at 40mm and just feels right on the wrist.

Absolutely delighted with this, I wish these pictures could do it justice! Way better in the flesh and already received a lot of positive comments (particularly from my wife) Thanks again Ryan!
