Wow! That’s is lovely!Last incoming of the year and frankly I’m done for now. A controversial diver, but damn it’s one heck of a watch!
I’ll maybe do a thread on it later.

My favorite purchase of 2020, bar none!
Many thanks - the watch was overshadowed with messing with the interchangeable bracelet on the 1901! But now I'm focused on the actual watch I am very impressed! I'll try and do a detailed incoming thread over the weekend.
Looks great Raj, congrats! Though you'll have the tz-uk mafia condemning you with a leather strap on a diverMy favorite purchase of 2020, bar none!
Had the all black version of this for a year, time for a change.
This is the second one my AD has had in just over a year, not many around.
It its simple to set, took a few minutes but you have an independent hour hand and the inner discs rotates on the 3rd crown position to get the Worldtime set.
At 43mm its bigger than I normally go for but wears well on the strap.
This gorgeous thing arrived yesterday and I'm over the moon.
Thats refreshingly different James

Picked this up yesterday
That dial looks lovely, is that the 41 or 36mm?Picked this up yesterday
36mm - I just have tiny wrists
Dial looks great, in some lights it’s really matt black but catch it at the right angle and the sunburst finish really shines through

I really like that. Something a bit different.Had the all black version of this for a year, time for a change.
Best-looking watch I've seen in a good while (and there's some stunners recently ITT), and I love the choice of strap - what a comboMy favorite purchase of 2020, bar none!
Stunning, love this one.

Good choice as it looks great.
Thanks guys. It is a looker for sure. Purists may not approve of a leather strap on a diver but let us be honest, the only contact my watches have with water is when washing hands:-)Best-looking watch I've seen in a good while (and there's some stunners recently ITT), and I love the choice of strap - what a combo
Can we have a face on shot Raj.
That's lovely. I love the lugs on that. Super retro. How does the quality stack up vs asking price?

As earlier, this week saw the arrival of the alkin Model 2, a 300m WR internal-bezel diver from the Bristol-based brand. Here is my one, the black dialled version, received on Weds.
I really like it, the quality of execution is excellent, making it very good value.
I love the simple, no-nonsense competence of this watch, an approach many can learn from.
And yet the details are there, when you look closer. Sandwich dial, case texturing, the flat rotating bezel.

^^ that looks v nice.. Did you get the bracelet as well as that strap ?
Thank you. It only comes with the bracelet (which looks very nice, but is not for me) so I put it straight onto a Watchgecko strap I bought heavily discounted on their Ebay listings a week or two back.
Dave
the strap looks like a good match for it!
Payed for this during lockdown and picked it up yesterday, love the dial and strap.

Love this, and great heritage..My favorite purchase of 2020, bar none!
I really like the look of that, it ticks quite a few boxes including a sandwich dial and internal bezel and even a full lume dial on the other variant. I'll have to add that to the wish list.
I am not surprised, it looks great. I have been waiting for the first one of these to arrive on the forum. I have always liked the originals and this looks very faithful to those. Congratulations!

36mm OP my favourite of all modern Rolex. Will have to try one on soon. Very nice & I take it it’s the black dial?Picked this up yesterday

That’s looks just so right.Picked this up yesterday
It genuinely makes me think twice above my normal desire for diver based type designs.
It’s white gold on oyster flex strap, it’s a stunning watch. Congrats to the owner, wear in good health.

This is the Carrera 160 Years Anniversary LE, Montreal. I generally don't like Tag Heuer, but fell in love with this as soon as I saw it, and had to have it. When it arrived I was initially not sure about the relatively small size, as it is only a 39mm case, but now I have been wearing it a bit it is my favourite. It really sparkles in the daylight. Apologies for the water droplets on the crystal!
The dial is black - it has a sunburst finish which makes it look grey in some lights. Really happy with this, had wanted a 36mm Explorer but finding one at the right price condition was challenging and I this at retail was really good value and a bit of a no-brainer
Thanks, I like a diver but my tiny wrists don’t lend themselves to many current offerings
Latest arrival. It’s a lovely thing The grey bezel in the right daylight looks green.

I have the warm watch glow today after picking up my DJ41 this morning.
Checked again I wanted the Oyster as I had a choice but it was an easy win after early Jubilee thoughts.
Happy Sunday boys and girls.
👍
The fabric strap is a bugger to adjust correctly imo but apart from that I'm very happy with it. Very very good lume.
Smith's Navigator. Actually arrived last week but today the Bulang & Sons leather nato arrived and that's what it will live on.
