I fancied a cheapie beater digital... and this little Casio A168WA-1Y fitted the bill perfectly! Reminded me of the days as a little lad getting a new digital every birthday with its vintage looks.
Not sure I'd be happy at paying the £40rrp on this one, but for £16 that I nabbed it for, what is not to like! A very light and stylish little watch.

This arrived out of the blue yesterday.

I picked this up from the store on Bond St. today.
I quite like it, I never buy watches at full price but at this price I dont mind at all.
They have one left on store if anyone is interested.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ba70bb73e5.jpg

do watch straps count? :)
Got some MN straps from Erika on the way.

I'm not enough of a wordsmith or photographer for that I don't think!
It is quartz and the case material is very strange. it feels like plastic in your hands especially due to the lightness but it feels like ceramic when you tap it against your teeth.
I wish the dial wasn't painted or atleast didn't have the fake shadow accents and I would have liked if the numbers on the bezel were lumed too.
at the price though, it feels right for me and I like it very much.
At last... I've got an Ingy

I know this model isn't everyone's cup of tea & TBH I wasn't sure myself. But now it's here & on the wrist. I'm smitten.

I once found myself sat next to one of these on the tube. The guy wearing it had let it get really really battered, and it looked *fantastic*

Thanks !
Good to know in case I do happen to accidentally bash it up.
Cheers

Looks awesome, but i would worry about getting it caught on things and scratching it!

Yay, a fellow owner!!!
I initially purchased mine on the Ti bracelet. But couldn't get a good fit and was not sure of the look. Went into the IWC boutique and they convinced me I needed the strap that this watch was also sold on. Transformed the watch and look totally. Love mine now, a great daily!
I've been wearing it to the exclusion of everything else since I got it, and it really wears well. It doesn't get in the way or catch things, and although I've been out and about with it it's still unmarked, though I don't think a few scuffs would hurt the look. It does feel as though it would be the only thing left after a thermo-nuclear blast!
It's the IWC Ingenieur AMG Limited Edition.
Ref IW372504... I think

These came in to stock today at the store on Bond St so I thought I would go for a look.
what a brilliant object. I am smitten and can't believe what a nice object this is.
be aware, these are not for the faint of wrist, the lugs are massive and come very close to the edge of my big fat arms.
the installed watch faces are excellent if you like the montblanc styles (which I do) and the rubber zulu strap is absolutely class.
I'm still working through all of the gubbins it can do but I like it very much so far.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...48b140a64f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bcee9e06ff.jpg

Having had a WTB for a Smiths Radio Room Watch (PRS 28) for some time now without success, I came across this Astral Radio Room Clock (Astral being a trading Name of Smiths). It has a Quartz movement and is supposedly 30+ years old, but is in superb condition. The BP FF that arrived two weeks ago is below. I did say that I would run with just one watch, so buying a clock is okay. :eagerness:

Good find but we're watching .
Just got a prs-3 in a trade...

Great watch! Easy to read, great bracelet and comfortable. Only thing I would change would be a domed crystal instead of the flat. Dial is plain (crispy and nice) and think it would make it better. But not sure so many would agree ;-)
This is my third TF watch after Prs-18 and prs-50. All quality pieces for the money, should have kept some:-)
As my X33 has now gone to a new owner, I thought I'd try one of these...

just ordered a gshock w5600bb with cloth strap, not long been related getting it tomorrow delivered
I have regained a reason for having a left wrist! Many thanks to some fantastic TZers who responded to my tale of woe and my WTBs for the Sub & SHC033https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c971719d2d.jpg

Nervously waiting for Umbongo's stamp of approval re: wrist/watch size matching:-)
That looks good on you Raj, you just about get away with the size. Are they any easier to obtain in the US?
Not really.
We usually get them a little later than Europe.
This was the first one at the AD.
I don't think the premiums are going to remain high.
Nonetheless, for me this is as close to watch perfection as it can get.
Rolex quality just keeps getting better. The bezel action is second to none.
Not sure artwork counts to incoming, but here's a piece I commissioned. Weighed down by my Speedy Tintin before it gets sent off for framing. It's a re-work of Herge's imaginary scene where Tintin etc. meet up with Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong.

I love this watch.
Nice choice.

Thanks Aris, I love it too. It has me contemplating selling off some of the herd because, after this purchase, they are not going to see much daylight.
Received this last week....

I found a bit of gold at last today - much to my surprise, it was a YG TT which was well within my anticipated budget. I need to keep my tan topped up to wear it, but it leaves me with the impression of being a feelgood, sunny day piece, which is what I was looking for.
A nice present prior to my 30th wedding anniversary which is tomorrow. There was also the added bonus that the AD jumped me up the list for the next SD43 in store, from 5th to 1st!

^Nice one. As said elsewhere, not sure why these TT Daytonas aren't more popular.
Much nicer than the TT Subs and GMTs which tend towards trashy rather than classy IMO.
nice pick up, and bonus getting up the list too

Not a new watch but a new Strapcode Super Oyster for the daily-wearer.
Not just a lovely bit of metal but removing three links gave me a Cinderella-standard fit without messing with micro-adjusters. Result!
