finally
Been saying this for about a month now but have a 116610ln incoming taking bloody ages to arrive though (grey dealer)
this guy arrived today...
Oceanus OC-104. £35 from ebay, barley a mark on it,Bargain!
New Longines from Basel 2012:
classy classic
busy day
another one
Just delivered
Ive had a god week or two, with 3 new arrivals!
Ive "fancied" an Oris for a while now. I recently missed one on the S.C. , so I put up an ad. in the W.T.B. and the TT1 arrived. I was really surprised how much I liked it, and how well made it was etc. So.............I then decided to buy another Oris.....and the small seconds fitted the bill perfectly..(I love a bit of orange!).
Then for the Tag Heuer Gulf...........I like Tag Heuers............I know many don't! I don't care....cos I do! I have wanted the gulf F1 for a while...I "missed"! this particular watch twice (because I was in work when it was listed!)....luckily though I managed to get it this time around! I find the bracelets on F.1.s really comfy....but I will also get a nice leather strap made for it. Now for some quick pics for you.

You can't beat peeling stickers off on a Saturday
I bought it to check its wave dial and ceramic bezel (all for 75 GBP)
A trade has brought me one of my long-term "wants": an X-33! I slightly prefer the look of the Gen 2 (and imagine that crown is a lot easier to use than the Gen 1's) but either way it's a bona-fide legend and a lovey thing. Also, inquisitiveness and a desire to get some fluff out of the sound chamber on the back (OCD? Me?) had me taking the back off to find a 1666C movement which I believe is the Omega thermo-compensated version which is put in at service... Potentially rather interesting!
I've been greedy lately :D
First came this:
then this:
then this:
Three very different watches, yet each of them excellent in its own way.

Breitling Monday; two new arrivals!
Had a watch drought of approx 5 months where I had no incoming, but in the last couple of weeks these 2 have arrived and loving both

First ever Seamaster - knew nothing about this watch, and really didnt know what to expect... but it's TOTES AMAZEBALLS!!!
I especially like the silvered numerals on the date wheel, on a black background - perfection! It's the small things like this that can make / break a watch!
Some very high end watches in this thread (not that that's a bad thing! been there myself) so here's something to tone it down a bit!
A quirky little incoming from a company called Slow, this one is the Jo 17.
I'v always wanted to try a one-hander, and this one has a 24hr dial which I think is a nice touch. The case and strap build quality look like they're gonna be good, its not too big at 38mm wide, and I love the colour combo... all for a shade under £190.

Picked this up a few weeks back, fancied something a bit different and neither of the more obvious Breitling & Omega offerings floated my boat...
