Reply With QuoteGlad to have Fortis back on the wrist. Love its robust feel and clarity. A solid daily from now on I think.
Fun watch incoming - but I’m not allowed to see it until next Tuesday, even though I know what it is!

I always liked the sailcloth-type strap that came with the LLD. I'm sure Longines must sell spares.Originally Posted by sickie
I just can't get on with rubber strapsI am going to change the mesh tho as I find it uncomfortable at the clasp.
Maybe a black leather or suede, suggestions welcome.

Wow that’s special. Second on the forum I think.
Very cool watch - and love the black - I have the FF All Black but that one of yours is so understated, its really nice - congratsArrived yesterday. If you had of told me 11 years ago when I joined this forum having just purchased my first "real" watch (Oris TT1 Diver) that I would one day have one of these on my wrist, I would have asked what you were smoking!!
Pure understated quality and class. Extremely happy with it!
Arrived Saturday.
Stunner.
Thanks.
Those who know me will know I'm not easily humbled - this one has managed it, somehow.
I'm finally starting to feel as if I understand exactly how privileged I've been. Or starting to appreciate it at least, anyway.

This new model from Prometheus arrived recently and I finally had some time to wear it.
Overall quality puts many of my more expensive watches to shame and the bracelet is a work of art.

Wey-hey, another one!
Looks nice on the front. Any more pictures of it?This new model from Prometheus arrived recently and I finally had some time to wear it.

It does look kinda large though?
Now that’s a thing of beauty

Normally these have a high mark up on eBay but I managed to get one at a decent price. Had one before and sold but wanted to get this version for a while as I think the white ‘Everest’ text adds a balance to the dial that was missing before when it was an embossed black as you could hardly see it. Anyway, quite happy with this (it’s the 36mm version).

Loving the features and vintage look.

About 40 years ago I had one of these:
I've just bought one of these as a sort of homage to it. Arrived this morning.
The annoying thing about the old one was that the second hand and the minute hand looked exactly the same.. they used the same LCD elements. But on this one only a second hand 'tip' is represented which solves that problem.
Arrived today, these are built so well, love the little touches and how the micro adjustment works on the bracelet. I think I will be changing the bracelet but just enjoying it now!!

Another Hamilton and another that I've owned about 3 time's already. Fresh from a full service by Hamilton, definitely a keeper this time.

This was going to be my post as well. What a dream watch!
I picked this up a few weeks ago and honestly, haven't taken it off other than to wear my Garmin for exercise. Which surprises me as it was destined for very occasional wear when I'd normally go for a G-Shock. It arrived on bracelet, but now on a strap and it feels just right. So much so that I'm tempted to get the blue dial variant to go with it! The current version just appeals more to me than the original all-blasted version and it carries a good amount of weight given that it's titanium.
(Cameraphone makes it look like it wears larger than it actually does!

Tempted by the green dial one. Though I’ve heard quality control isn’t up to the price tag…

Can’t speak to the streamliner, but I had a venturer and the quality was sublime.
Ding Dong!
Arrived earlier than expected and just in time for Christmas.

I picked up this 2004 Chopard MM from the forum a few weeks ago at a great price.
I had been looking for this model for several years, and have ordered a selection of tropic and rallye straps to suit the changing seasons.
I’m currently enjoying this look

A little Christmas pressie to myself, courtesy of my military pension kicking in - not enough to retire on but enough to get myself a little treat - always fancied this style of watch and first impressions are that it is lovely!
Dipping my toe in the world of wire lugged with this Radiomir. This arrived today.
Have just arrived home and this was waiting for me.

I've been wanting to add a gold dress watch for a while as that's a gap in my collection but saw this on SC and thought it worth trying as it was different to anything I've previously had.
I thought it would probably be too big at 42mm as 38-40mm would be my preference but it wears well imo and first impressions are very positive, I like the simplicity of the dial, the blued hands, the graduated sub-dial, that it's not a mainstream brand and it's my first in-house 100hr movement.
I'm still looking for something in gold but in no rush as this will do the dress watch duties for a while at least.
I've not been wearing more than half of my watches recently and need to let a couple go but that's always a struggle compared to buying onemaybe next year....
Thanks gents - struggling to wear anything else at the moment!

Wanted a quartz grab and go. Didn't realise until after I ordered that the company is based a few miles away from my home (Wallsend). Love it. The lume glows all night.
