In the evening sun after a little Caprese salad and Aperol interlude.

It is, a desirable classic, but it just doesn’t appeal when it’s on my wrist. Inexplicable I know

This week’s new arrival, now on a new replacement of the original strap.

As we all know, vintage is a minefield that requires enormous diligence.

I will never be in this market, but out of shear morbid interest I would be interested to know the loss of value difference...

Having already posted my 16610, I would also add my Panerai Zero, which is now firmly past its honeymoon period.

Early visit to DHL to pick this one up. First impressions very positive, although it threatens the position of my...

I’m not sure I can call it a grail as it was an impulse purchase in late 2009, so I was denied the long period of soul searching and cost justification that such things often need.

I still think...

Still the Zero, last day in Florence

The Zero has come to it’s spiritual home of Florence.

May have to visit the boutique later ;)

Usual daily wearer.

Packing for Florence later so will need one of the PAMs. Tracking DHL too, hoping delivery is...

It is, first in the uk I I can recollect for a while. Hoping the condition matches the description.

I’m sure you don’t want other options Martyn, but if you can cope with quartz, and a GS 9F is as good as quartz gets, then the SBGN027/9. I have the earlier 003 and it’s excellent. 39mm and 12.3mm...

Not the micro-adjustment, that was always solid and I rarely altered it. It was the main clasp unlocking, and it sometimes needed a firm press to lock it. Sometimes extending my wrist would put...

The UX a does look great.

I had the new adjustable clasp on my U1, I think my Tegimented version was £400 with new silicone from Neil at Chronomaster. I eventually tired of the frankly enormous...

SBDX001 arrived today. The Seiko diver sub-collection was clamouring for a new leader, who was I to resist. A very heavy thing on the bracelet, so quickly swapped to waffle rubber. Liking it a lot...

The only one that really speaks to me is the manual wind Chronoswiss Regulateur that Fullbreakfast owns. I have already harassed him for the day that he loses the love.

I think this is a fantastic watch, and if I didn’t already have a quartz GMT I would have added one.

If I was going to buy one, I would go new with a Japan seller on Chrono24. That works out...
