Thank you both, this was a tough decision to sell but it’s going to be well loved and it was a pleasure discussing it with both of you.

Good catch - I also got my first IWC this week.. perfect for my weekend work with colleagues in the US.

Just had this delivered, not everyone's taste but I wanted something different to my other watches.

It's an Ocean Crawler Lume Rush Diver V2 (I had never heard of them until about 3 weeks ago when I came across this)

Chuffed to bits with this one... Was between this and the blue dial one.. Both lovely but plumped for the black. Increadable value for money and even more so with a great discount.. A no Brainer.
Lovely fit and very comfortable and with the easy extension clasp slider even better during the hot months.
Sadly put away for Xmas now.. Not long though. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...884af793a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...454a5cc2d7.jpg

Thanks! Wears large and tall (at least on a NATO), very legible, adequate lume, runs accurately at ~+1spd. The date window doesn't bug me (but I decided before the purchase that it wouldn't bug me, YMMV). The recessed dome sapphire and screwbars rather than springbars set it apart from other case designs in this style, I think. With only black and white accents, quite a strap monster. It's quite a GADA for me, too. :)
Wow, never occurred to me it could appear THAT fancy, cheers!
Another pic from that same day but with a glimpse of sun:

Finally got a chance to snap my beautiful new (to me, and in all practical senses) Straton Legera "Bullhead" chrono:

Many thanks to @ColDaspin for enabling my addiction!
First post on here (couldn't find an introduction thread but this seemed as good a place as any to start) so here's the first pic (of probably many) this arrived last week. And thanks for the add!

And this arrived today

Two incomings in a week! I am a very lucky man. First to arrive was a GP Laureato ceramic followed by an H Moser & Cie pioneer rotating bezel funky blue. Going to stop buying for a while now and just enjoy! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ec03dfbbc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7c9f6d4ed3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7318d1f0b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6ecd5681c2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3a5c41f7c5.jpg
I’m picking up today all going well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7a6a38c27c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bd9569daab.jpg
It is pretty rare, they made 50 pieces so quite hard to find. It is only 42.8mm but dwarfs the GP which is 42mm. Some kind of optical illusion! The bracelet is chunky and well made, 22mm tapering to 19mm. Fits absolutely flush to the case. It has 8 position micro adjustment whilst on the wrist giving up to 10mm of adjustment all within a very modest size clasp. Superb engineering.
The GP bracelet is full ceramic and looks amazing. No micro adjustment but has half links which help getting a good fit. It has to be seen to be appreciated. Beautiful.
Like that Moser👍
I set my mind to trying a Grand Seiko probably around the time of the logo change a couple of years ago, but it's taken until now for the stars to align and for me to find the right one. In the meantime of course the brand has seen even more of an explosion in popularity, so apologies for posting yet another GS!
I know the power reserve indicator can be a bit marmite for some folk (not sure why this is especially so for GS more than other brands - maybe because the dials are just so exquisite?), but I'd actually loose the date before the power reserve - in the metal I find it's not that intrusive.

A SKX for me. Forgot how much I liked them...

Haven't been so excited about an incoming for a long, long time. This is truely a rare beast, referred to as the unicorn by Alpinist collectors. Many thanks to Mr Chef for alerting me to this watch being listed. It is the Seiko SARB013 from 2006 or White Alpinist if you prefer.

Thank you, it is in lovely condition. The seller even included a NOS genuine bracelet.

Just dropped through the letterbox: Zuludiver Perforated Sailcloth with beige stitching. Really liking this it blends well with the Ocean Vintage Red dial markers.
I'd originally ordered a Zuludiver Rubber strap from watchgecko but sent it back as it was too thick (nurse!). Got this as a replacement from WG after a week duration turnaround with their returns service.
Also got a Leather Steinhart strap on its way from SC so I'll see how that compares when it arrives later this week.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...89f258f121.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8fb043c835.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...afca5e4079.jpg
Just received this SubC from SC.
Really love the clean look without the Cyclops.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...580c684e45.jpg
