Lovely Nageurs. Show us a wrist shot?

Too big?
Too big :(. Should have been titanium too.
Is that a 40mm?
No, 45mm, brushed SS.
Right. Thought it might have been smaller being one of the LEs.
A rare beast though, he should offer it on here.
That's a superb photo, they all look incredible there. It's that the 2255 or the 2231 electric blue second from right? In that pic it looks the best of the bunch.Spare a thought for family members left behind....
(and enjoy it!)
Makes me miss my Great White, it's with Omega at the moment being serviced and refurbed.

Incoming briefly before I took it around to its rightful owner (my father in law). This lovely Rotary was bought as a wedding gift when he married my mother in law 56 joyous years ago (his words...!)
Returned to working order by Brendan (webwatchmaker) following a full strip down and service.
Simple but elegant, I have ordered a new Watch Gecko tan leather strap to go with it.

That’s kind, thank you. Yes it’s the 2255 second from right. A personal favourite of mine but the less popular model for most people it seems.
Enjoy the 2538 when you get it back, I bet you’ll be too scared to wear it
New in today courtesy of a heads up in the George & Dragon. cracking watch for just over £200, straight on to a different strap..I like it
I've always wanted a "guilloché main" dial -- and I like micro-brands with real capability, so this arrived today . . . . . .
And, yes, that is a humble Unitas 6498.
Very nice and very different, it's certainly well decorated.I've always wanted a "guilloché main" dial -- and I like micro-brands with real capability, so this arrived today . . . . . .

Nothing wrong with a simple manual Unitas, I have a 6497 and it does the job nicely. The finish on yours looks top notch

That is simply superb. Congratulations24 hours on and still admiring the dial.

Funnily enough, it was the sale of said traded piece that afforded me a rather nice GMT from some chap on TZAlright for some
Received this from Marc yesterday, another chronograph to add to my collection.
The photos of this brand started my fascination with the watch world about 20 years ago. Now I finally own one!!
Skyland arrived today

Arrived today,just hope it’s not to posh for this old slob.
Very impressed with this 40mm new arrival, love the colour of the dial and it’s very comfortable on the wrist.

Nice little eBay bargain arrived today. Genuine omega brown leather strap. The model code 98000195S appears against a few models. Hardly seems worn anyway. Seller even chucked in an omega travel case too.
I'd like a genuine deployment for it but for now I've picked up a generic one. Still to arrive.

That's absolutely lovely - I hope it didn't suffer on it's journey!Back home, nearly 7 years after I traded it.
Good looking lawn as well!New in today courtesy of a heads up in the George & Dragon. cracking watch for just over £200, straight on to a different strap..I like it

Second time i have owned one of these massive big boys but at £399 in Ernest Jones sale i couldn't resist and unlike my last Rolex it came with hang tag and stickers still on it.
Not been outside yet to set time with GPS as it's raining here in the north west.
Stunning!
I've owned all four at various times but individually, not together and sadly no longer own any of them

I don't normally bother with this thread, I'd spend half my time posting pics if I did, but this arrived today and I'm VERY pleased with it. I've said it before but I think I'm happy with what I've got and will hopefully stop spending so much time browsing for the next one.
I've just bought a Seiko Presage SRPD37J1. I have previously said that it was too big for a dress watch at 40.5 mm. However the green dial is very appealing and that is the only reason I decided to go for it. So far I can only go by Internet pictures where the watch is shown under bright lighting. My fear is that in reality the dial will appear black most of the time. We shall see!

Double bubble today, a Breitling from Sales Corner and my Brand New El Primero, back from LVMH as it arrived in poor condition.
That is truly awesome! 👏The photos of this brand started my fascination with the watch world about 20 years ago. Now I finally own one!!
After the Lange... here’s my new arrival.
I bought it a couple of weeks ago, arrived from the US today. I thought I’d be flipping it straight away but I think it’s pretty great. The movement feels really good (apparently modified ETA2824) and for £350 (that’s with import taxes and shipping) for a Swiss watch you can’t go wrong I think. The original strap is rubbish though, so I put it on an aftermarket tropic strap. This is the largest (42mm) watch I own, but doesn’t feel like it, probably because it’s about 10mm thin - one of the thinnest divers on the market? I decided to buy it because I wanted a beater diver that doesn’t look like Rolex Sub. And I think I nailed it.

Of course you all know what this is - hopefully someone will be along soon with a Sub or a Speedy Pro for something really novel;)
WOW!
Well, after 2 months of waiting I finally got my very expensive bottle of aftershave last week. They threw in a watch to soften the blow.

I’m really delighted with this new incoming. The finishing is even better than I expected and the size and fit are spot on
Picked this up in town today, doing my bit for local shops!

What's the outer 20 track for?
I believe it's a telemeter scale in km (sound travels approx 1200 kph). There's also a tachymetre scale (tricky to photo)
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Ah yes - I've not seen one that I recall going up so high before. The only one I had stopped at 5, and then the tachymetre scale started.
Will be interested to hear what you think of it. Am seriously considering one but I have the SLA017 and I think it is just too much of a double up.
Picked this up on the Sales Corner this week, really enjoying the lightness of the Carbotech.

Another Mako XL. It’s a sickness now.
On this beads of rice bracelet, I honestly feel like I might never take it off my wrist.
Cut to a months time and it’s in a cupboard and I feel the same about something else.

Well.... What are your initial thoughts?
It’s a great looking watch.
I got the grey Stowa Partitio.
