The Incoming / New Arrival Thread

[seabiscuit]

Two incomings this week via Sales Corner. The CWC RN-300 80-81 auto diver from Ben Green and the CWC RN quartz diver from Mark Bannister. The auto hasn’t gained or lost a second in the three plus days I’ve been wearing it.

I hear you. I'm naturally a bit ocd when it comes to timekeeping. This would be a daily wearer and given what I do (music lessons) time accuracy is actually quite important. My non hacking 1861 Seedmaster at +10 seconds pd wound me up but at least I had the chronograph to time 30 minutes lessons.

Well, 50 hours or so in, and the Seiko has already gained over a minute, so safe to say timekeeping of this old, unserviced example certainly wouldn't suit your requirements.

In any case, given Seiko's quite remarkable sample inconsistency, even buying new you are always taking a gamble: you may buy a good one that times well, has the hands/bezel/rehaut lined-up properly, &c, or you may not. QA doesn't seem to be their 'Thing' until you hit Grand Seiko level, where things go from the ridiculous to the sublime - or so I'm told.

Doesn't bother me, I like this cute little thing and it'll hop into the cabinet to be enjoyed sporadically

First JLC and been considering this one for a while. A few phone calls later and an 8 hour round trip and I’m delighted with it.
Just ordered the blue rubber strap to go with it….

That is a stunner, versatile too - sporty on the rubber and looks really classy on the strap. Nice one!

Very nice indeed, must admit I hadn't seen these before.

It does share quite some design elements with the LLD?

Spirit 42mm in titanium

[s1wnw]

Had a couple of incoming in the last week. Only one of these can stay, unless I put my original eta Pelagos back up for sale. Titanium is such a great material for a watch.

I am totally biased but I would not be getting rid of the ETA Pelagos, the new one is a shadow of the former. SM and OG Pelagos for me.

Everyone's already said it but I thought I'd chip in aswell … that is stunning. Perfectly proportioned, lovely colour, etc., etc.

Lucky man

I've long loved the look of fresh bronze with a green dial, so felt it was time to try one such for size -





This arrived yesterday on a decent quality green/yellow MN-style strap, and got a bit of a clean today to show the bronze at its best, and then onto a fortuitously well colour-matched silicone strap I had in the strap box.

It's a pleasing thing. At 42mm it's 1mm larger than the IWC IW387902 that it's based-on, it also differs in being nearly 5mm thinner due to its Citizen quartz chronograph movement, has a larger day-date display, and - rather bizarrely - has the running seconds at 6 marked in just twelve increments. The lume is surprisingly good, too, and unlike far too many chronos the subdial hands are also lumed.

Nominally a 'Hrudoland', it came from WR Watches who also carry a blue dial option, choice of straps and sterile or 'Hrudoland' signed dials. It's no doubt possible to find the same watch even more cheaply, but WR were very helpful, efficient and communicative, the watch reached me in less than a week from China, and it remains a cheap watch at just $179.

Not sure if I'll keep/wear it enough for it turn the colour of an old penny as these things are supposed to, but compared with IWC's p*sstake prices, it's a bargain bit of fun.

U2 fresh in today. Been keen to get another Sinn for a while. This beastie does not disappoint in the flesh. 

Would love to see one of those, been tempted but would like to see one first; I have the 55th LE and really like it, but the colour was never the same as the press shots.
I’m currently away in NYC and the Seiko Prospex dealer has eluded me so far, to see it.

This however was a surprise purchase, as I’ve always thought it was too big for me. Yeah I do wish it was the same size as the previous SMPc (I was wearing my black one at the time - it’s superb), but this is lovely. I fancied the new SM300 with the sandwich dial, but just felt like it was a fair whack more money and I’ve always loved the SMP.
Well chuffed frankly. Omega boutique on 5th Avenue were superb too.

One of my favourite SM’s. I’v got the titanium electric blue dial. One of the most comfortable watches ever.

The second of two new arrivals this week..

The Sinn 356 Fleiger with copper dial was the first proper watch I bought.. back when Sinn was pretty unknown in the UK.. think I paid £500 (ish) new from Chronomaster.. I loved the watch.. however I fell on hard times following redundancy and sold the watch.. Then in 2007 my dad surprised me with a rather special 40th birthday pressy.. the copper dialled 356.. Unfortunately this 356 was stolen about 4 years later.. fast forward to this week.. after a long hiatus from the watch buying malarky... I finally picked up the copper dialled 356... extra special this time.. I lost my dad a couple of years ago... but having the watch again brings back some lovely memories of him.

These were one of Sinn’s best watches at the time. It shows what they can do over and above the standard sterile black on white
The dial needs to be seen in the sunshine.
Enjoy the watch and the memories

Latest and last acquisition

[Quality Man]

Fancied trying a Mellor 72 but the auto/date version came up on SC so grabbed this instead, my first CWC and not disappointed.

Super watch - glad to see this one sold as it was really tempting me!

Thanks, really pleased with it. First watch of this size for years, and surprised how well it wears on my seven inch wrist. I think we have just become accustomed to huge watches but in reality a 35mm watch is fine, the Sekonda I wore for a decade or more was smaller than that!

A lot to be said for watches of this size. I enjoy the fact that the size and weight mean I forget I am wearing it. Somehow more enjoyable than being conscious of a big watch on my wrist.

Picked up the P39 today. Very impressive

Full fat Pelagos arrived yesterday. I tried on the 39mm, and ,whilst a pretty watch, just felt small on the wrist. The 42mm just feels better proportioned, I like a date for travelling, and I do like blue. This and my FXD are a nice pairing imho.

Beautiful and perfectly balanced on the wrist.

Surprise arrival this morning as I thought there was a postal strike going on. Thanks to Vincent from the forum for the seamless transaction. Not a fan of the strap but that can be easily rectified.

Double incoming today … Doxa 300 T Sharkhunter and BB Pro. My second Pro and imo much nicer on the hybrid strap than the bracelet. Other opinions are available of course

Love these. I realise that's the 40mm. Looks great on you. I have smaller wrists so am contemplating the 35mm quartz.

Some nice incomings recently. Loving the Zenith, Panerai and Tissot. All a bit different in their own way.

First ever Planet Ocean, wondering why I waited so long !

40mm wears bigger than expected so I'd expect the 35 to wear large too.

Shame the 35mm doesn't come with the same dial but there are lots of variations to choose from.

So far I'm keen and prefer it to the Pelagos 39 I got the other week. I'd give it a go.

Great watch, I had an identical one. Definitely the watch I most regret selling.
