Ordered over a year ago, I'd actually forgotten about it, showed-up in the post today...
Fortunately, I love it!

Nice! I've one of these inbound in the same spec as yours except I think the brand name is differentThis Kickstarter-funded Wolbrook was ordered about seven months ago and arrived just today. It's a beauty!
I half expected a response like thatFixed!
Does help being old enough to have loved the Gulf-sponsored GT40s and 917s!
Not old enough for the Gulf Racing Porsches. For me it was the Silk Cut Jags and that colour scheme is just as evocative for me. Now if only there was a British watch microbrand that could produce a watch evoking that colour scheme.......
I look forward to seeing that - would have been my #2 choiceCongratulations! Mine (in green) is in the post!
Oh god yes - trouble is it'd probably be Bremont, and while I like the watches, the prices - not so much...I half expected a response like that

EDIT: Just seen PC's post above. Nice BoR
The Kickstarter arrived, in spite of the global pandemic starting just as it was due to go in production…
I like it – cheap, retro, solid build, sapphire glass, Seiko mecaquartz movement, good lume, drilled lugs, nice package (I fitted my own 'Tropic' strap).
They probably made too much of the NASA connection, and it's interesting that references to Neil Armstrong have now been removed from the website, but it's only a bit of fun, not a lifetime marketing mantra like some other 'space' watches we could mention

And in total contrast, this also arrived …

Well done, Martyn. Probably the best watch I’ve ever owned.
Nice one Martyn!!! How does the AP feel compared to your other pieces?Finally got around to taking a picture of my latest incoming. Audermers Piguet ROO 15710ST

A beast - but in a good way.
That's beautiful Martyn. Wouldn't want to knock that off a door frame.
Looks great!Finally got around to taking a picture of my latest incoming. Audermers Piguet ROO 15710ST

New arrival today. Casio Oceanus. First Titanium watch for my collection. It's very difficult to do it justice with a photo but the way the dial and indices catch the light with blue reflection is really lovely. I would never have thought that Casio could produce such a nice looking thing. :)

My latest purchase which should be with me by the end of the week. First thing I’ll be doing is changing the leather for rubber.

King Turtle. Cyclops to be removed at some point.
Just had a call that a black dial ceramic Daytona is ready for me to collect on Sunday....only had to wait 4 years...🤪
So it does actually happen! Congrats!!!
Been on the wait list for about 4 years for mine as well, but I'm not holding my breath.
Congratulations. Very nice surprise. I do think that Rolex are making more stock available. About time too.
Picked this up today... very chuffed with it

This arrived this morning -
2015 Sinn 140 A "1st Sinn in Space" - temporarily on the Zuludiver NATO while the Sinn-branded Di-Modell dries and is then rewaxed.
I'm as blown away by this as I was by the Damasko DC80: - centre-minutes chronos are Where It's At

That’s lovely - well done
Smart Royal Oak! It’s not an offshore is it? Judging from the waffle size compared to my ROO.My latest purchase which should be with me by the end of the week. First thing I’ll be doing is changing the leather for rubber.
Whoops
thats a hybrid between the YM and the AP DT you were considering!My latest purchase which should be with me by the end of the week. First thing I’ll be doing is changing the leather for rubber.
looks great !
i think the gator looks lovely personally.
This arrived today. Small issue with bits of the previous owner on the strap and under the bezel, but fixed with alcohol swabs.
First impressions are that I’m really impressed, it’s a good size, but not too big, or too thick, and I really like the simplicity of it

It is the sort of thing they would do but, as you suggest, it would not come cheap. It would probably have a bit of one of the cars stuffed in it too.
Now if only there was a microbrand that made great value for money watches and who's owner ran a watch forum.....
Incoming #2 for the day. This is actually the green but it it looks black most of the time.
That's very nice. Congratulations. Looks quite chunky or is that because of the nato?This arrived this morning -

I picked this 6159-7000 up a couple of weeks back from a TZer, when he first offered it me I thought it was a scam and right up to the point we met up I was 50/50 about it being a scam of some sort but the seller turned out to be a real nice guy and the watch surpassed my expectations, it is now with Duncan/Thewatchbloke for a full service, I am then hoping that when Duncan is finished with it this will be my #1 watch for hopefully many years to come.
Thanks, and yes, it's a chunk alright - the NATO does emphasise it a bit, but it's 15mm deep, and 44 x 44mm wide and nothing can hide that. The contouring does make it easy to wear though, and it's comfortable on the wrist for such a bruiser.
Just collected from the sorting office. Summer watch just in time for a break from work and (hopefully) a bit of sunshine!
AquaRacer with the grey dial and 41mm case, lug to lug 47mm, great size.

I've just been reading up on it. Great watch for the collection. Good health, etc!
Cheeky Auction wn with box and papers
Just received and liking it lots!
2 incoming this week, not sure selling a U1 and a steel square balances the books though - man maths.....
Thanks, it's back-on the cleaned & re-waxed Di Modell leather today, which proportionally works better:
I belatedly realise that this has scratched the "Bad Panda" itch I've had for a while, even if this particular lopsided Bamboo-Bear looks like it's had a stroke...
unfortunately the strap is too small :
and again, the strap is too small!
the strap is long enough!
I bought a rolex prince online last week, this arrived today:
It was a bit of a shock, but it turns out the box and the watch were at different locations and were posted separately so I'm still waiting.
A day late and needs the bracelet sized so on a NATO for now
I called my local AD on Wednesday and enquired about a watch.
He said they had none in stock but would add me to the register.
This morning he rang and said that they had a delivery yesterday.
Popped in at lunchtime and now have this
Don't quite understand the fuss about waiting lists at ADs
Was I lucky or is this not one of the more desirable ones?

Very nice, I used to have an explorer too and love that it is so elegant and understated. I think it is one of the slightly easier to get models from the sports range

Just arrived this morning after a failed despatch on Friday. Not a 100% sold on this but will see how I feel after a day or two. Might be because I just spotted the white street tuna and something about it has really drawn me in.

If you do sell let me know. Might be interested
Collected this today...
Very nice. Does a man need two Daytonas?Collected this today...
Yes👍
Then again, 4 or 5 virtually identical Submariners seems to be the norm around here, so I suppose 2 is sod all really. Better get your name down for a White one
I was down for a white one, but this one turned up and I was asked if I wanted it instead. I’ve had a white non ceramic in the past, so I think that itch has been scratched.Then again, 4 or 5 virtually identical Submariners seems to be the norm around here, so I suppose 2 is sod all really.
