What a belter this is. Do you mind me asking if you paid list? I love the shadow too but this is the first "live shot" I've seen of either. Such a stunner.Originally Posted by Thom4711
I’m really delighted with this new incoming. The finishing is even better than I expected and the size and fit are spot on
Thanks for the compliment :) You might be thinking of the a384, which I also love- this is the defy with the 1/100th second chrono and is 44mm rather than the 37mm a384 and a384 shadow. I was torn between the two- and both wear well on my 7 inch wrist- but I got a good deal on this one and the complication swung it for me in the end.

Nice Steeldive tribute
[seriously: love it in that colour]
Couldn’t resist
Ah I did think there was something a bit different about it. Thanks for explaining. I still love it either way!

I wonder if the strap is available separately as I would like that on the SLA017
It probably is. I know the special sets come with a spare black strap as well.
Just in today. I've not seen it in the flesh yet so my other half kindly obliged with a picture after a quick strap change.

Please excuse the dust!

Get to da choppa!
Really pleased with this one
Lovely. What are your thoughts on it? Does it feel like a step up on the SLA017?SLA037
Thanks Ryan. I haven’t worn it tbh. By the time it arrived I had tried a Fifty Fathoms :)
^^^Good man.
Aha! The curse of the watch fanatic strikes again! Looks lovely though.
Oh it is! Bezel 10x better than the 017. Case material and finish not even comparable. No more unrepairable dia shield. The strap is phenomenal too!

Wish I haven’t :)
I really like that Oliver, nice pick up. I must have missed that on SC, its not Kash's is it?Picked this up on the Sales Corner this week, really enjoying the lightness of the Carbotech.

It was Irish Ger that I bought this one from, he had a few watches in the one post so you may have missed it. Its a 960, the 42mm version.

Damn it. That's the 'wrong' answer for my Amex card! :)
Is the boutique opened? Best go try it in person.
This absolutely stonking bit of Sinn titanium loveliness. Never even heard of it before, let alone seen one... just made a blind “go on then” acceptance to a trade offer on my Seawolf, and I’m mega pleased

Just saw a Youtube review where the reviewer rated it as on par with the Fifty Fathoms! Totally different watches so I'm not sure how easy the comparison is - seems to be more Grand Seiko than Seiko though
This new steel amazing. I want a fully brushed titanium though :(
Will take photos of it next to FF!
Smiths PRS-68. Just arrived from Snoodles.
Cracking condition, I can't see a mark on it.
I have been looking for a reasonably priced model for ages, I doubted that I would get lucky on the new baby Willard when the TF shop opens.
Can't decide on the rubber, the unworn steel bracelet or a khaki NATO which is currently without a home.
It's watch number 150 if that rings a bell with anyone.

Arrived Saturday,ordered a custom made strap for it.
Less than 24 hours to get here from Finland thanks to DHL. Couldn't be more pleased to have another L5100 in the collection.
Like that a Lot. Is the strap in the pic the one you had made? If so, who made it?Arrived Saturday,ordered a custom made strap for it.
That is a really lovely watch all round, I didn’t think it would take long to sell. Congratulations.
Great catch, congrats!Less than 24 hours to get here from Finland thanks to DHL. Couldn't be more pleased to have another L5100 in the collection.
No,that strap came with it ,made by Birkenstock ,not keen on leather it’s going.
It's strange the bezel thing.
The one on my SLA017 is spot on and feels like the bezel on my F.F.
I have handled another where the bezel didn't have that same feeling so I know what you mean but wouldn't have known had I not felt both.
When I was buying mine I had a choice of four 017s. All felt loose. The bezel on the one I kept even jammed after 10-11 months.
Second incoming of the day, and someone wanted to be in the picture!
That is nice and unusual, saw that on Ebay but only decided against as I already had a bronze watch....bought the Prometheus Eagle Ray from the same seller instead!Arrived this morning from Portugal within a week.

First impressions are that you seem to get a lot of watch for the money!
Not 100% sure this is ‘me’ but it’s very nice. The strap isn’t a great match but it’s all I had to hand until the bracelet is sized
The hardened case and bracelet have a lovely titanium ish colour
I like this. V v much.Cross posted from the Blancpain thread. Arrived this afternoon:

Very nice, and FWLIW I like that strap on it. Must be Green watch day, cos I've just ordered one of these.... For Tough Reasons. And green Reasons:
Something I never thought I’d buy....
Seagull already off the OEM NATO and onto honey leather. 42mm sapphire version with gooseneck regulator. Very cool vibe. Awesome markers. Hands maybe appear a tiny bit flimsy? Incredible performance on the timeographer though!

New arrival today

Great pickup. I very nearly messaged but dithered. Looks fantastic.
Thanks - I haven't stopped wearing it since and it's quite difficult for a rubbish photographer like me to capture it in all its glory. The ebay account is the factory ebay account for Borealis and Prometheus. The two companies are linked but not entirely sure how. This arrived with the sticker on the back and with warranty card that hasn't been filled in.
Always wanted to try a PVD so purchased this Dan Henry 1970 diver which arrived today:
So far very pleased with the quality for the price (NATO purchased elsewhere)

This one arrived about a couple of hours ago. Photo doesn’t do it justice.

Major, major congratulations - I really want to see this in the flesh! Welcome to the Panomatic club
That is indeed lovely, but yes, do please take some better pics.
