These look great I would love to try one of these at some point. The strap is a good colour match.Been after one of these since I laid my eyes on it earlier in the year.
The blue has to be seen to be believed, no pics can do the watch justice...

This arrived a few days ago and I've got to say, it is superb
Just arrived and I'm somewhat smitten.
Strange that the strap was mounted the wrong way round but I've seen this on a few reviews. Odd.
Never heard of this brand. Something to get googling about. Looks great and love the case.This arrived a few days ago and I've got to say, it is superb

The new forum favourite! Such a nice watch.
A bloody great yellow thing. Love it as a summer toy, once the two Breitling rubber straps and clasp arrive.

Double incoming this morning, some may recognise the non-watch item.
Is it a tool for removing the As from NASA?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Very close
This arrived this morning from Howard, what a fantastic watch, I’m in love.....
I’m guessing you mean with the watch, so I’m trying to not get my hopes up.
I've had an itch for some PVD so this will arrive next week:
I'm not entirely sure it's going to work for me, but if it does the khaki canvas strap is already lined up and ready to go
Far from new, but back from having a new battery and check-up. Anniversary edition, but aren’t they all! Nice though.

I know Bremont generates sometime heated discussion here, however, I've been looking for a specific model of theirs for almost 2 years...........and this morning it arrived! I should add that I had no idea of the serial number until a couple of days after I'd paid for it - bonus!Bought from Watchmaster in Germany who were superb to deal with.
Bremont Codebreaker in Rose Gold

The strap is still very stiff making the watch look huge (it's not small at 43mm) and tight on my wrist. It also brings into sharp focus the effect of hand sanitizer on the skin of my hands!

While I can see that being an opinion-divider - even by Bremont standards - I think it's lovely and much prefer it to their aviation-themed stuffI know Bremont generates sometime heated discussion here, however, I've been looking for a specific model of theirs for almost 2 years...........and this morning it arrived!

Yes very nice indeed :) What's the serial. number written on?
I was tempted by this- looks superb, congratsThis arrived this morning from Howard, what a fantastic watch, I’m in love.....
A scrap of the Magna Carta?
The serial number is made up from punch cards used to record Enigma decryption information. There is a small piece of wood from hut 6 (Turing's place of work) in the crown and part of the rotor is made from the metal from an Enigma machine rotor.

That is nice a great choice. I’ve always found the flat plain bezels on a lot of their watches a bit plain and detrimental to the overall look. This one is nice and it all works well together.I know Bremont generates sometime heated discussion here, however, I've been looking for a specific model of theirs for almost 2 years...........and this morning it arrived!

Battle finished 2 colour cerakote by Paul at Tempus Watch Mods. I love the fact it still looks new vs actual wabi, which I hate.
HODINKEE Swatch. Pretty cool little thing actually.

I've always liked swatch and that is a goodie. Tempting. :)

It arrived earlier than expected:
Most EB watches have specs that mean they'd be too big for my 'average' wrists, but the Tyneham at 41mm was worth a punt and I'm quite impressed so far.
The rubber strap is super comfy and the whole package looks and feels tough enough to handle the ongoing corona crisis.
That's pretty cool, i like that!

Just picked this one up from DHL.
Had almost forgotten about it but very pleased.

I like that! Never seen one of those before.
Cheers. It’s a limited edition from 2012
I’m a big fan of Steinhart and think that looks great, works well with the strap tooCheers. It’s a limited edition from 2012
Ah, now that would explain why I can't see it on their website. Thank you.
Their LEs for some reason always come on leather straps that are only suitable for 7.5”+ wrists. So the straps always stay in the box sadly
Actually meant the strap you’ve got it on but quoted the wrong picture what type of strap is it?Their LEs for some reason always come on leather straps that are only suitable for 7.5”+ wrists. So the straps always stay in the box sadly

Just a stingray in grey. It’s never looked good on a watch before. Glad it’s finally getting used. An eBay special it was
Cool thanks, off to google..Just a stingray in grey. It’s never looked good on a watch before. Glad it’s finally getting used
That is lovely, I don't usually like Roman numerals and sub-second dials but that comes together nicely. Must have taken a bit of effort to track down. Congratulations.

Thanks Tony, I lapped it up! Just got the IWC paperwork for a service in 2014, since when it has slept in a safe. It’s running within a few seconds per day currently.Beautiful, and I miss mine. I did a write-up on the MK XII on my blog somewhere... here it is

When I was in the Seiko boutique they explained it was Japanese tradition/politeness to have the strap pointing inwards (to your own body) rather than outwardsJust arrived and I'm somewhat smitten.
Strange that the strap was mounted the wrong way round but I've seen this on a few reviews. Odd.
Latest arrival, and its a stunner, been on my list ever since its launch,
that's shaved stingray. normally it has a pebbled texture, and shaving it gives the look you see there, which makes it somewhat shiny
Got you, thanks!
