    Don't much care for the UN, but the MM300 looks great on that strap; a rare candidate for the 'perfect strap' thread.

    Cheers - Maratac Zulus are by far my favourite nylon straps, but sadly they have to be imported from the US.

    Lovely Tony. Am I right in assuming the pusher at top left advances the 2nd time zone indicator by an hour?

    Thanks Ryan, and no - (assuming you meant bottom left) the pushers advance or retard the hour hand incrementally. The second time zone window stays on home time (or whatever you’ve set it to).

    Tony - your photography of my old watch is making me have second thoughts. Enjoy it.

    I have had many variations on the GMT complication but the jumping hour hand on this is sublime

    Arrived yesterday. My fourth Tudor (having moved on GMT, blue BB58 and FXD). I think this is the one that hits my sweet spot. First few hours with it and it seems very versatile.

    What have you done with the strap, Daniel? Reminds me of my bicycle build!

    Same with me with my Fortis. Nothing else gets a look in.

    Thanks I'll have a look. Also considering the Erika's Original trident strap with sand stripe and bronze hardware in the theme of the OEM fabric strap, and I saw that Scurfa have made a matching blue rubber strap too.

    Was definitely not expecting to get this.Definite departure for the norm for me (it's always been dive/tool watches).

    The most special of incomings for me, the Vacheron Constantin Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin, 18 months for it to arrive but if you asked me for one watch to keep forever, it’s this which is a work of art and incredible craftsmanship when you consider it’s 8.1mm thick…how’s that even possible!

    That's beautiful though! I'm not a huge fan of cyclops dates but that whole package is impressive.

    Not something I thought we would see on here. Stonking watch and must be unreal to handle.

    Side profile for a view on the height, it’s definitely ultra thin

    Little bit of fun, Timex Marlin reissue hand wind, needed something dressy for an upcoming occasion, nabbed this for 60 quid on eBay. 34mm but not as small as I was expecting.

    Waw, first that Traditional, now this. How can you choose??

    Unbelievable watch seen that thin of a watch with such complications.

    903 with rare white/silver dial. Really looking forward to this toolish chrono that is quite dressy compared to others from the family.

    My money was on 'striking' - but both are true in any case, amazing watch!

    A most unexpected call from the AD on Monday, on the day that the new model was announced, but I can’t say that I’m too disappointed to have a brand new ‘old’ model on my wrist (after quite some wait).

    Congratulations. I think you are the first person I’ve known to get a call for a Daytona.

    That's wonderful. Very nicely done, and excellent clarity which one would expect from Sinn.

    Jumped on this thread for first time in a little while - reminds me why this place is so great. Pelagos 39 which left me wondering if I had my one with the strap inside out, an incredible VC that looks like it should be on a pedestal in a grand mansion, and very taken with the Timex Marlin. Great stuff! Hope you all wear in good health!

    Arrived today - what a watch. What a purple period of IWC's design.

    I was tempted, early on by the MoonSwatch but ,having looked at a few ,decided to pass, the Mission to Mars was going to be the one. However this Pagani has become available for half the MoonSwatch's price . What a bargain...

    This has taken a while to get to me, but I'm very pleased with it. I was worried about the 38.5mm diameter looking a bit dainty on my 7.5" wrist. Up until today the phrase "wears larger than its size" sounded like code for "it's too small for me, but hopefully I can offload it to some other mug!" In reality, I really like the size and it truly does wear bigger than I expected
