I got a bit carried away with my love for Tudor and I went and bought a BB 58 Blue
I was bit concerned about it being a 39mm watch as I prefer over 40mm usually but it wears lovely on the wrist and looks amazing.
Heres a quick pic

Im pretty careful with my Diver as its definitely a scratch and gouge magnet given the height of the case and lack of a ceramic bezel.
Congrats to Loupe, agreed to Gareth and ditto!! Lovely pieces to wear though.
Is it a Top Time before the branding? Whatever it is, it is lush as they used to say in Bristol.Grabbed another vintage a heuer to go with last weeks acquisitions again dont know too much about it. Its a 7733 cal. If anyone knows what it is Im all ears.

Thanks guys! Ceramic bezel on the radar as Ive definitely caught the AP bug.
Isn't Top Time a Breitling model? Either way, the Heuer posted is lovely.
Lovely looking watch. Wearable anxiety with the bezel but still absolutely beautiful.
Ceramic is good but in that model means a discontinued white gold model from a grey dealer. Think subdial sold a loose one recently for about 27k
The next new Diver is likely to get the ceramic bezel as one of the upgrades to the model. Until then Ill just have to be careful!
I’m thinking of adding the ROO 43 if I do some man maths and shake the collection a little….
Love the white dial, it’s the watch that first brought AP to my attention.The next new Diver is likely to get the ceramic bezel as one of the upgrades to the model. Until then I’ll just have to be careful!
I think both of you have a few AP’s?
Furlan Marri make some very good looking watches. This one is my favourite and picked up one from their new batch
Picked this up which is something Ive been wanting for years!! Bell and Ross was my first proper watch and what caused the start of my love for watches and Sinn is my favourite brand!
So it had to be! Luckily its been serviced in last few months, but I think I will try and get the someone to tidy the case a little (if possible) as couple of little marks Id like gone!

Very nice, indeed. I have been on the lookout for a PVD 142 for ages now. In fact I bought one from a Japanese Ebay Auction, but they cancelled the sale as they said the watch had developed a fault (which was baloney).
Love the shrouded pushers on your one
That is a tremendous acquisition

Thats very nice. Lovely lume colour on the dial, you have inspired me to pull my similar Tutima NATO out of the safe for wear tomorrow.
A recent GMT Pepsi 16700 for me. Just serviced by RSC St James. My first tritium dial and I love it.
That's lovely and quickset date on the 16700 makes a difference if you don't wear it as a daily

That looks so nice!
Lovely watch.
Never had a Bell & Ross before, but after I tried one of these on I was quite taken by it.
Getting a good deal on it swayed me, not really a good reason for buying a watch though, so time will tell!

Ah you could be right! Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

A brand new shiny bit of sunshine arrived yesterday, and a billy bargain to boot!
I've always liked those, but can depend on the colour combination - that's a particularly nice one. Always found the pop of bronze on the bezel edge really works well on these!New arrival to me yesterday. It came on a bracelet but a NOS Oris Crocodile strap arrived today...
Very nice!
About a week ago I tried on a 36mm Zenith Defy Skyline. I bought one of these instead.

+3 regarding the 36mm Twelve....I put one in the basket but came to my senses, would be good to hear what you think about it and some real world pictures so I can then mentally justify getting it 😁
I really like it. I had previously tried on the 40mm version and was already aware of the high quality and detail of the finishing.
Easy enough to get a good fit, as there are 10 removable single screw links (4 full and 6 at 2/3rds size). Whilst the bracelet links are brushed, there is a bevel along the top/side edge of the links which is polished, as is the top edge of each link.
I typically wear watches of 36mm-41mm and was happy with how the 40mm wears, the only reason I didnt buy one when released was that I would like the titanium COSC version, but in a more everyday dial colour than the two current versions.
For me the 36mm version felt and looked better on the wrist than the equivalent Skyline. To me the dial looks far more detailed.
Am I saying this as a CW fanboy? Well I do have a few CW watches, but I also have and wear (rather than leave in a safe unworn!) a few Rolex and JLC, Omega, Tudor, GS etc.
Visited my Omega AD yesterday to try out a few of the diver 300 colourways.
Loved all of them, green and white were both so crisp. Also tried the NTTD and this was so comfortable but way out of budget unfortunately.
Also tried on a summer blue on rubber. Wowzers, the pics do not do the dial justice. I know its not everyones cup of tea, but the colour was lovely. Floats between blue, turquoise, grey and almost silver in certain lights. The summer blue indices almost look like they have a glow in the daylight.
Long story short, went in for a green or white 300m, ordered a summer blue on bracelet!
Now the wait begins!

PS they confirmed price rise imminent. Days away. Expected price of a diver 300 is likely to be getting near 6k
