I must say I'm extremely pleased with the...
My New Sinn 903 Navigator, which I picked up from James Porter Jewellers in Glasgow yesterday. The watch Manager David Sharp was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure doing business with...

Well, this is my first foray into the world of second hand Rolex. Picked it up this morning from Tom Coll in Glasgow. And I'm mightily impressed so far. Much better in the flesh than in any photo I...
Yes when I saw the image of the Sea q, my immediate thought was:uncomfortableness: "eek! I've bought a fake!" but no need to worry, it seems there were a lot of companies using this, or very similar...
Having just seen a Glashutte Original SeaQ for the first time, on another thread, the dials and font seem to be pretty much identical, which rather surprised me. A quick check on the respective web...
Actually I had a quick check, and the bezel is 38.4mm, so quite a modest size.

I believe it is 39mm ex crown, and 45mm lug to lug (I haven't physically measured it, but these sizes feel right)

Le Forban Brestoise purchased from OldHooky this week. The domed sapphire is very reminiscent of the Oris 1965. The movement (Miyota 8215) is a bit eh....agricultural, but is probably quite close to...
Couldn't resist this £600 bargain from T K Maxx!

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this, as the image on T K Maxx's website showed the face...

I have been humming and hawing about purchasing one of these for months and finally took the plunge at the weekend. Bought from Julian Kampmann @ Poljot24 NOS AY-C1M cockpit clock as used in assorted...
Having decided that, after my last purchase a few months ago, enough was enough......I spectacularly failed to resist when I stumbled upon this LeJour Vintage Diver in Chronomaster:

The very first "proper" watch I bought, some 40 years ago, was a Sekonda (Strella) chronograph, now long destroyed/lost, and I have hankered...
Farer Ainsdale arrived today! :smug:

Very pleased with it. I know some won't like the way the sub-dials cut through the indices, but that...
