    Thanks! Funnily I had this strap for my previous Sturmanskie. The watch was gone but kept the strap. Now it's found its way back to the 31659.

    Three of my watches had to go to make way for this, but it was probably worth it...

    X33 last week and X33 Solar Impulse a few days ago - just to try the bracelet from one on the other.

    Turned out to be a bit of an expensive way to go about things in the end...

    Rolex GMT blue thingy

    Compared to my recent Grand Seiko arrivals it's a bit 'meh' and almost crude in comparison but hopefully it will grow on me....

    I finally stopped fannying around with other divers and went for a keeper.

    It's fair to say I utterly love it.

    I'll lower the tone. Everything I dislike in a watch:

    Daft size: 44mm
    Confusing design: Is it a diver or pilot?
    Silly dial details: Stripes
    Altimeter style date window: Why?
    Compass bezel: Pointless

    Still, it was cheap and it's not boring. Looking forward to its arrival.

    I was the same at first but it has really grown on me since. Between that and my AP they take up most my wrist time.

    Two Edox on the way, one for me:


    And one for my wife:



    Quality on both looks to be great... The ladies needed minor adjustment on the chrono return before I collect them both, hopefully next week...

    Is that a ceramic sub? The bezel looks fantastic.

Turns out the watch was a 50th present in 1985, but the chap didn't have the heart to tell his wife he still preferred wearing his 1950 oyster, and thus only wore it on anniversaries! Anyway, here it is... Apologies for the piccies (taken in haste by iPhone whilst the children nap)

    How/where do you find a gem like that?

    Oris Aquis Incoming

    Just new on here and this is only my second post. As I stated in my first post before I seen this thread I am waiting on an Oris Aquis date with black face purchased on ebay. Know it can be a bit risky but the seller posted plenty of pics alon with a pic of the Oris card with shop details. Going to buy a rubber strap for it too (There goes another £130 then) Will post a pic when I get it this week.

    That model is definitely in Rolex top 3 best-looking offerings imo. Congratulations.

    You Will love these. I have an Edox I've shark, similar case. I love how the ceramic bezel and the crystal are aligned to create one larger area (mostly the crystal sits deeper).

    I really like that C. I was always a sucker for anidigitals

    My New arrival is this time capsule from 1975. A Bulova Accuquartz centenary model. Basically an accutron, but they swapped out the old electronics and dropped in a quartz oscillator. Very clever way for them to get into the new tech without too much expense. The centenary accutrons aren't that common, the accuquartz being harder to find again. This is NOS with original strap, hangtag and caseback sticker, sold as parts for 22 euro(looks like it was a DOA from the factory. The date mechanism was shot). I had a donor movement so yesterday fired up by mugs of strong tea slapped that in and off she ran.

    They both looked good at the AD. They're ready to collect but it will be the weekend before I get a chance to pick them up.

    All the way from America and it somehow didn't get stopped at Customs so I could keep my shirt! Almost perfect bezel too which is always a bonus

    Just received this Precista PRS-82 from Vinstink. Although I've already got a few of Eddies, I must say I'm genuinely amazed by the quality! and would definitely describe it as a reissue rather than a homage.

    Design wise, the lack of date, domed crystal, case size, no crown protectors, historical movement, aged lume, accuracy and history go together to make something very special!

    Very happy :-)

    Perhaps the number of JLCs in the box has now got out of hand at four ([1])
    This last week:



    cheers,
    al

    [1] - two 1960s - above E393 and a E557, 1941 cal.450 civilian 6B-a-like, and a modern Reverso. Oops.

    And here it is with a horrible mobile phone pic...




    Full report coming....

    In the interim - Titanium so nice and light, ceramic bezel with 60 clicks, crystal blends into the bezel for a unique Edox look, and the day and date turn over together at midnight, multiple turns to lock down the crown, ETA automatic and the softest and most comfortable rubber strap (and I'm not normally a fan of rubber straps) I've had.

    This came today. I got it on a rubber strap from Zenitar and after reading peoples accounts of how poor the bracelets are I am really very happy with the quality of the rubber strap! Not to mention the watch, it's really very likeable.

    Fresh in this afternoon. Loving the way the bezel catches the light.

    The strap will be replaced with a Hirsch Robby in Black / Blue.

    Got it Tuesday. Posted a thread about getting one, and another after making my mind up and receiving it.

    Now a added pic, quite rightly, to this thread;
