LLD 36.
Always wanted one of these but the movement used in the early models put me off (rightly or wrongly!). When I discovered the movement had a bit of an upgrade in newer models, I found one...

It’s a great watch and over the last 3 days of pretty continuous wear (crown down overnight) it’s averaged +1.5spd. Not...
Recent incoming. Strange one this as I know it doesn’t really make sense. At RRP it is very overpriced (although at the 30%ish discount I got it’s a little better and closer to what it’s worth), the...
My introduction to the world of GS.

Thank you. It is getting quite a bit of wear!
Funnily enough, I have decided that I would only sell any of my watches to help fund a 36mm Explorer. The explorer would be the end game for me. My...
On this 36mm version the actual watch head is about 42mm but the integrated end links do add a little (about 44/45mm from end of one link to the other) although they do point downwards and hug the...
Thank you!
The 36mm version is actually on their site in the ladies section :-)

:-) Thank you! Nothing too bad so far. Just a bit achy and out of sorts. Three in the household currently have it with a ten year old escaping (so far).
Fancied an HAQ and decided upon this one. Great size for me at 36mm, 100m WR and really nicely finished. Arrived today and has cheered me up since I tested positive for Covid last night.

My first ever Seiko and now I understand! Really impressed with this one. Fantastic watch within the price range especially with the discount achievable. Although I now find I’m looking at the SLA...
Watched a review of this on ‘Just One More Watch’. It seems to be a lot of watch for the money. Great size also. Enjoy.
Lovely watch, great condition and used to be your grandfathers. That makes for one special watch!
Pick up from SC last week. Love the subtle contrasting finishes on the case.

A little 36mm cracker.

I believe it’s a Ming 27.01. Beautiful watch.

Apeks 200m. Superb value for under £70.

That’s very nice. If you don’t mind, what’s the model no.?

Got this a few months ago but just recently returned freshly serviced from Nomos.
Longines 38.5mm Master Collection. Ideally it would be a mm or two smaller but still really pleased with it.

Picked this up from SC recently and hasn’t been off my wrist since.

116610, LV perhaps?
Although something doesn't look quite right with the text on that dial, looks a bit fuzzy :joyous:
I've always liked the Longines Hydroconquest. At the price point I felt it was a good buy. When the new model came out I actually disliked it. I may not have been the only one as it's now been...
Welcome to the forum my friend. You seem to be a friendly and non-confrontational chap. Perhaps some use the term 'wears bigger' to compensate for wimpish wrists and an inability to pull off a 47mm...
