Stunning.
This is what horology is all about. Quality over everything else at the same price point. This or a boring Rolex?
Quite possibly a future purchase.
Lovely. I need to take a closer look.
Thanks Tom.
This place is like Swap Shop at times. :-)
The OEM IWC strap is nice. I have a box of around 100 straps so I've dug out some 20mm straps that would suit it better. The IWC strap with the Rios buckle (at the top) is a favourite.
...
What a bloody awful strap especially on such an elegant IWC. A wind up of course. :-)
Blue leather it is.
Thanks guys.
I'll probably have it on a dark blue leather eventually.
A Portugieser back in the collection. It is simply stunning.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240203/ba30f064bf7fb683d023323603fd47a5.jpg
Lovely. The 047 is the best looking model of this new series of chronographs.
That's a great looking watch.
Lovely.
It's been a very long time since I've handled one of these.
Back in 1974 the Tudor Sub Snowflake was around £150 and the Tudor Chronographs (like the Monte Carlo) were around £270. How...
It's Omega's Chronoscope. A manual wound co-axial master chronometer. They do a few dial and hand variations (so two more dial variants below). They have bracelet or strap options. The case is 43mm. ...
I spotted one yesterday and it looked great. It has lots of character.
Now, if Seiko made one in steel.......yes please.
The Grey Ghost does look good.

Thanks.
I've been asked if it's the 37mm model. It is actually the 42mm model in grey. It's not that common. It does have the full kit, so bracelet, strap and rubber plus the pouch.
Here it is...
Finger smudges included. The 21mm Strapsco Vintage style Rally strap arrived this morning, so perfect timing.
I'm more than impressed......

A very handsome watch Andy. You can't beat a nice cushion cased diver.
One of Seiko's best watches ever along with the original SBGE001.
Hamilton Khaki Field Chronograph. It's big at 44mm. I am more than impressed with it.

Thanks. It's a lovely watch.
It's up there in my top three at present. Big Pilot 43. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230625/242a97be9476915f913477a11748986a.jpg
I bought mine from AliExpress. WR watches sell them too.

No problem Chris.
I wear them on most of my diver's and chronograph's. The Seiko divers have the upgraded quick release spring bars set up.

Thank you.
There are several companies producing these silicone straps now.
North Street Watch Straps have their vintage rally. Watchgecko have their Zuludiver Tropical Regis, but I...
