For comparison here is the OEM on mine - it's long gone now of course!

Just got this Norqain Night Sight in. Always liked the look of the freedom 39mm but saw this in the catalogue and after a bit of hunting, got one for a good deal.
Always wanted a full lume dial and this one has a lovely glow but it looks like a normal sand coloured dial in the light which I find a bit nicer than the usual full lume dials that always have a slight green hue to them.
A Kinessi movement with display back is just icing on the cake!

First watch purchase for about 18 months. Fossil C-3PO
First Gold (coloured) watch for me, bit cheap and tacky but me and the kid love a bit of Star Wars. Wanted the R2D2 but sold out before I could get one. Flame suit on …..

I took this in a part exchange last week. The original intention was to put it up for sale pretty quickly, but I think I might hang on to it for a bit longer, and try it out with some different straps. Some info about this model and its background here in case anyone is interested.

I have just bought this today. Very good match with Haveston strap.

I have been on the lookout for a holiday / beater / gardening / etc. watch.
Various Trasers, a Steeldive ploproff homage and citizen eco drive divers have been considered but I like all of them too much, you see I’ve come to the conclusion that any watch I like I’m going to baby too much to really wear it in situations where it could actually get damaged.
Now I loathe g shocks, none of them excite me in any way whatsoever. So I’ve bought one. A solar Bluetooth octagonal one. Hopefully I’ll still hate it enough to use it for it’s intended purpose.

Arrived today and loving it so far!

Third of this model and fourth in total yes. I hope I shall keep this one!!

A bit of inexpensive fun arrived this morning.
It wears well but is very tall. No door frame is safe.
Is that the steel one from SC?
It is chunky with a fair heft. I like a large watch and this wears similar in size and weight to a Marathon CSAR / JSAR. It’s small and light compared to the Zlatoust though.

Speedmaster pro for scale
This arrived today thanks to ryanb741.
I have just tried the lume by placing the watch in a bowl of water in a darkened room.
The time can be read at any angle,the coundown bezel works a treat,the fixed bars are tough,this is a tool watch built for a purpose.

But it ain't English. Just saying.
Latest acquisition. I've wanted a Pelagos 39mm since they hit the market, but funds don't allow it currently. But this popped up on to SC and I thought I'd give it a go to see if I like the Pelagos 39mm.
And I do, oh boy do I! If this is pretty much near-identical, then I definitely do!
In its own right this is a fantastic watch! The dial, indices, hand set and fit/finish are really top notch. And the bracelet is absolutely stunning. The on-the-fly adjustment is just wonderful.
So a great try out for the real thing. :smile-new:

Quite a moment today ... you could say this IWC Der Doppelchronograph 3713 is a Grail piece as I've lusted after it since the late 90s (when I first became aware of it) yet never quite managed to bag one. Bought the 3706 (twice) to scratch the itch but 39mm has always been too small for my wrist and I was acutely conscious of that even when I got my first one back in 2002.
In my imagination the Doppel was a big watch, but it's pretty modestly sized really, only 42mm though nice a bit of heft at 53mm lug to lug and 16mm high. This one has a few flaws, notably a scratch to the front AR and a couple of small dings, but actually a bit of wabi doesn't look out of place given it's at least 20 years old and the design pretty much invented (or at least re-invented) the 'Flieger as Tool Watch' category.
I've no idea of its service history so it will be headed for a service at some point soon. I think it rather suits a Ted Su I had made for my BP43.

Picked up earlier this week. My 3rd variant of the new ceramic dialled SMP in as many years! Like the other 2, this one is excellent, and probably qualifies as my most legible watch ever!

As soon as I saw this earlier this week I knew it was going to be my new summer watch. It arrived today, with a 20% discount I couldn’t be happier.
I only realised the bezel used the Peanuts font, and the back isn’t engraved but a Snoopy print behind a glass caseback. I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling since I opened the box.

Love the snoopy also - this thread is dangerous…… goes off to search for one
How did you get the 20% discount ?

After 3 months on ‘wait list’ finally received the new 36mm T80. Definitely wears larger than the previous model. Nice fun retro watch, and all steel unlike the Casio equivalent.

This re-arrived yesterday after I bought it, then was given it on my birthday and had to send it back to be repaired 4 days later.
Hopefully ‘arrived’ for the last time.
Put it on a GSD strap kindly donated by a member of another forum.

Just on my way back from London after picking up a very special Linde Werdelin. Not for everyone's tastes but a beautifully made time piece none the less. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...16125dc06f.jpg
Picked this up last week.

Absolutely a guilty pleasure, but it was dirt cheap for a bit of 18k rose gold cap and a column wheel!
The dial pattern is lovely.

I still have my other rose gold LW so can draw a direct comparison.
The case itself is very similar with real top end finishing on both. The open worked chronograph does take it up a notch and it also has an open case back to admire as well. Both are much better in the flesh than in photos, the depth of the dial is just mesmerising.

Picked this up today - will be buying another strap or two for when I don't want to look as... neon.

That's fantastic. I don't think I could carry off the look (nor the price!), but I love it.
After years of waiting, I'm very happy to have finally landed a last-of-the-line and now discontinued 116500, especially as I find it preferable in looks to the new 126500. (has anyone seen one in the metal yet?)

I collected my Seamaster Bond 60th last night from the local Omega Boutique.
Very pleased with it, lovely shade of blue and the bracelet is quite comfortable.
