Very nice indeed.

Really like that, what model is it?

I’ve since read the rest of the posts!
Love the colours. Would like to turn the clock back a couple of years and pick one of these up.It’s arrived.
The blue of the dial and the bezel insert varies hugely depending on lighting conditions. I’m very happy with it.

Tried one of these on in London Heathrow a few weeks ago. I thought it was fabulous and one of those watches like a DateJust that would have great versatility! The strap fit and wrist feel were perfect.I'm really not in buying mode at all these days, but I think this will be in the collection for some time to come. Thanks, Ryan.
Congratulations!

That is such a good looking watch. It’s the only watch with gold highlights I have ever liked.SLA025

Thanks. Picked up from Learningtofly earlier. Its tall and pretty big but I love it. It exudes a vintage richness and hue. It's also superb quality

Ta!
Should’ve have really put that information up with the watch!
I take it your looked at the really good thread that I attached…
I’ve been hunting one down for years…. But wanted the green and with a bracelet…. Probably THE rarest combo! I think I put my finger through my iPhone screen when it came up…. I’m delighted with it and the sweeping second hand and the gentle hum of the movement are wonderful!

I had to keep this under wraps for a few weeks, as good as my Wife is with this hobby I think two new watches in a week might have tested that good will just a little.

What do you think, is it a keeper? Looking at this and the SLA019. Wondering if the SLA is more versatile.SLA025

Yes, cheap, reliable, good looking watch for casual, sporty wear, even can be dressed up. I find it better then my SKX

I love it mate. Just love it. It's hard to quantify but basically it's as if Seiko made a 60s diver using modern techniques but ensuring the watch is accurate to the 60s original. So it's like a super high quality vintage watch and a better execution that the Omega trilogy attempts I've owned. The indices are really well finished and the watch exudes superb light play kind of like what you get on a brilliant diamond but in this case with a sepia hue. It's wonderful. Some people have compared the finishing with Grand Seiko. I've owned many GS and they are IMHO finished to a higher standard than this but then again this is a pure tool diver not a dressy piece which is where GS differentiates itself.
Re SLA019 it's a lovely watch but notreally comparable as the SLA025 is made to a much higher standard and is far more retro in style and feel. But it is pricey. It is also a definite step up in quality from the SLA017. It is a tall bugger though so any less than 7 inch wrists and don't bother.

Just bought a Speedmaster Professional at Malta Int airport. Up for €4400 euros, i haggled down to €3300. Worked out at £2,920. They’re holding it until I return Thursday as well. Saves lugging the box over to the U.K. and back.

I am a latecomer to Panerai having just bought this very cool PAM0088. For many years this model has been one of only a few Panerais that really appealed and I am glad to say it hasn't disappoint in the flesh. Something very distinctive and a great strap watch for a bit of variety in my fairly conservative watch horde.

always fancied one of these. Pretty tidy for 1967. Thanks David
^i about I was tempted by that one!
I've almost bought one of these so many times, once again we share similar taste. Love both versions of this watch.

Well…. I believe I’m obliged to admire this one!!
Very nice indeed!
Yep…. I believe we do…. I certainly admire a lot of the stuff I see you wearing…!!!
Green was the one I held out for…. Orange is lovely but potentially a little shouty for my tastes
Saw it on someone wrist and it was lovely.Sorry, another boring Rolex. I do love them though...
Mind you, I was about 10 feet away and it still attracted my attention.
Power of Rolex!

Thanks. Like it a lot. Bezel doesn’t turn - I sure why yet but whatever it looks good
Yes I think it is the better choice, I often worry with the Orange that it could be a bit much and could tire of it. The green is certainly more classic and I don't think I would ever not want to wear that.
Great watches, I still need one of these floating marker Longines. I've bid on so many but always get pipped by the last minute snipers on eBay.
Picked this watch up a couple of days ago, and very happy so far.

Very nice,what did you do there ?
A bezel not turning? Doesn’t really matter…. Who’d use it anyway?!Thanks. Like it a lot. Bezel doesn’t turn - I sure why yet but whatever it looks good
See we’d do have the same taste!!!
I’d personally go for a zodiac mystery disk instead of the Longines I think…. Super cool 😎!

Congrats
Longines 38.5mm Master Collection. Ideally it would be a mm or two smaller but still really pleased with it.

Got a coke the other day. The lugs and bracelet are in need of some restoration so it’s off to Michael Young in HK.
Once it’s back, it’s off to Rolex for a service and jubilee bracelet!
Lovely piece.
You're paying for case work even if you don't have Rolex do it, so why not have Rolex do it rather than MY? Bracelet is a different matter of course.
From what I’m aware, Rolex won’t rebuild lugs on SS watches. I’ve heard they will on PM watches but not SS.
Very cool! Enjoy.Something a bit different,an Omega marine Chronometer
Oh I see, I assumed just refinished.
A very modest purchase, my first digital since sometime back in the 80’s.
Amazing value for £65. Especially considering what I’ve spent in the past on the likes of Omega and Tudor...
