Arrived today. Very pleased. Second Tudor in the collection. I regret no having got one of these years ago. A sleeper (and keeper for sure)I think.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b0bf7ce373.jpg

Lovely dial texture, Thom. Is it white or blueish?
Arrived a couple of days ago, loving it!

Fancied trying one of the 60s GMT homages for ages but never really found the right one. MkII was appealing but they’re too pricey I think. This was in the U.K., so appealing with no further sting in VAT from Gnomon, money paid and here the following day. [emoji1303]
I have to say I really like it, great look, lumed bezel and a decent size. Will size bracelet later, just chucked it on a NATO for now.
Continuing with the Steinhart theme.
Nice when a WTB delivers. Was offered this 2014 watch last week from the original buyer who had only put it on a few times. Full set including the original leather strap and bracelet. This was an either or and he had paid for both. Looks nearly new and timing is bang on, under 1 sec in 24 hours.

You can't beat these older Mark 1 Ocean Two watches. Still keeping an eye out for the other colours though. I did sell the Orange version on here a few years back, would happily buy that back if the opportunity arose.
Having bought a 1978 car I felt I needed something appropriate. I love it.
Sue me.

Basically the watch has been updated over the years and is usual in Watch collecting circles, people take a shine to the discontinued models.
The Mark 1 as you can see has very fine bezel edge and crown edge engraving and is not that practical at all, difficult to hold and turn. The first incarnation was available in a series of colourways.
The Mark 2 fixed this with a more brutal edging and they took the opportunity to include sapphire case backs as standard and lift the price a little. These were only done in Black and White.

A new model has just been announced (Mark 3) with numbers added to the dial and the hands changed. Note the date window tucked into the 3. Not sure I've seen that before, but I'm sure someone will know where Steinhart got it from.

Both arrived today, I'm not sure which I'm more excited about! :smile-new:

This bargain arrived yesterday courtesy of a recent PSA on here. Excuse the unset date. Like it a lot more than I thought I would! Bought with the intention of doing a hand swap and that will be happening soon as I can get my hands (ahem) on them

Tudor BB chronograph in S&G.

I feel the same happy to have it included in the package but there are better straps out there.
Tried it on the green NATO, it looks great, however the nato is thick and difficult to thread trough the keepers, it also makes the head sit a bit too high - its already a thick watch.
I have also tried a cheapo MN style strap. Its a much better fit looks good, I think i will go for an Erikas for it.
Edit:
I have tried these but I think we have a winner

Got an olive green borealis iso waiting for it. I find them far comfier than the real deal.
Green on pvd is always a winner
Got a call from my Tudor AD contact this morning to see if I wanted to check out a sneaky preview of the new Tudor releases.
Entered a deserted Trafford Centre, sent the code, shutters up and straight in to viewing the black and white Chrono's as well as the 925 silver BB58.
Couldn't resist the white dial "Baytona" - sorry - anyway that's what I came away with and it looks fabulous to my eyes, in the flesh.
The black is lovely as well but the sub dials were more silver than I expected and I didn't love the contrast date window.
Few pics;

I was very tempted but I prefer not to buy two watches at once as it detracts from the purchase experience imho.
The Taupe colour was very "Ghost" in a good way but the dial, bezel and fabric strap were all perfectly matched so no visual contrast. The watch was a little heavier than a standard 58 and the fully brushed case looked very sharp and beautifully executed. The movement is no looker so the display casebook is a waste of time.
New to me the Nomos 701. Complete contrast to my Tudor BB GMT. It's an intriguing thing.
Love the colour palette on it, love the legibility. Love the thin-ness (if that's a word).

New arrival this week. Omega Planet Ocean with white dial and orange bezel. Love the colour combination on this watch.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6fd1b0e830.jpg

That's a handsome watch. Orange and white isn't a combination you see together but it looks great.
A new Kickstarter watch for me from SWC, first impressions are really good, it’s really well finished, the line is ridiculous and the rubber strap very comfortable
