Thanks! The Grand Seiko boutique in London has a couple (as of about 10 days when I went) if you’re able to get there. Well worth the trip if you’re a Seiko fan

The first chronometer in my vintage Seiko collection has arrived (6246-9000). Decided to take a chance on a listing that had pretty poor photos and put in a bid I thought had no realistic chance of winning. Turns out it had a chance. There's some very light spotting on the dial, but nothing you notice when wearing it. The gold medallion on the back is in good condition too. It even seems to run pretty accurately and the bracelet was sized perfectly for my wrist when it arrived. Bit of a steal overall.
Also added the correct bracelet to my World Timer, so a good haul this time. Now if only my photos would be a bit better...

And of course I couldn't resist this box. The plastic clips are far too big for bracelets sized for my puny wrist, so I'll have to come up with a solution for that. And I'll have to double my collection apparently...

MM300 SBDX001 from 2014. Spotted this for sale on WUS last week and it turned out that the seller stays in Falkirk, so not too far away. Picked it up on Saturday and finally wearing it today. The strap is horrible. The ones that accompany some MM200s are so much more supple. I’ll have to try it on the bracelet.
always want one when I first saw the pix and over the years, struggled to justify whether I should buy one by saying that I have more watches than I need, the case shape is not what I like...etc...missed more than 1/2 a dozen in various sale forums ....till finally I've bargained for an affordable price and the whole transaction from payment to P2P delivery was completed within 9 hours.

this is an entry model in terms of functionalities and pricing, but with some interesting features...a bright yellowish dial and 3,000M, they can charge you more than a Seiko...BTW, its bezel is not actually qualified for pro-diving..:-)

I put mine straight onto an Isofrane original [emoji106]
Aye, I’m checking out alternatives to the OEM strap, which is totally inflexible. But the watch is so much more than the cheap and nasty rubber.
Something understated.....
As an aside the isoframe has a lovely vanilla smell! Has anyone else noticed this?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f6083c72dc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6bc380d888.jpg

Most quality natural rubber straps are impregnated thus - I have a Bonetto Cinturini which absolutely REEKS - can't leave it by the bedside it's so strong.
- which reminds me Bonetto Cinturini are lovely quality, sane £, tons of colours, and do a number of Seiko replica patterns :encouragement:
Black Bay 58 Black getting picked up on Thursday... I think this might actually be my only AD buy despite going through about 20 watches in the last 6/7 years! Everything else has been eBay, SC or Grey...
Another new Steinhart 39 for me. This was the one I had said for years, if they do one, I’d buy it. Sold out on Gnomon straight away whilst I pondered, so I bought two 39 GMTs in the intervening period (one to be sold to cover this!). I like it and something different.
Ken was bang on that it wears bigger though, feels and looks identical to my SMPc 41.

This smasher arrived today, and got 10/10 from Mrs G as, and I quote ‘it’s not a sports watch’

New watch delivered today, although not for me, bought as a present for my fathers birthday next month.
Not seen him for roughly 2 1/2yrs - various reasons of living abroad, lockdown etc, he went shopping with his partner the other day and sent me some pictures, he mentioned he wanted to treat himself to this watch (knowing my dad means it wouldn't happen). Some quick detective work found the jewellers in Caterham, quick call slight discount and received next day - great service.

Wears smaller than the pictures suggests. If I didn't have my vintage Arnie - I can see the appeal. Was looking to buy the new Arnie for him but he preferred this. (Shame as I have 30% off the Seiko Boutique up to £500 to be used).
Picked this one up yesterday, took me by surprise as went into my local AD to view the new tudors, but once on the wrist I couldn’t resist.

An unplanned £30k splurge, must be nice :)
Enjoy it.
What an upsell that was. Bet you and the AD are in equal shock.
Great looking watch especially the dial.
This lovely Omega landed off a SC deal. Maybe now not so hot with the Olympic version being turned out but looks good to me:
it arrived in showroom condition courtesy of DHL.

My Xeric Vendetta wandering hour just popped through the post today, ordered back in December. Always been interested in new ways of telling the time. It’s pretty big (46mm), it don’t think it’s ridiculous on my 7 1/2” wrist.
I tend to swap out the original strap with my new watches... so any suggestions?! (Brown or black) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...80d3ead0e1.jpg

Time to fit a nice strap.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e2420f9213.jpg
Just purchased from that top TZer Shalako. Wanted one for a while now and while I know it's a marmite watch I absolutely love it. Exceptional in every way. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1a11ab5096.jpg

Just picked up from the AD a couple of hours ago. Perfect size for my skinny wrists
