Picked up a SDc Yesterday
Having quizzed the poor guy very thoroughly, I now have this Longines incoming from a dealer in Singapore:
Only 34mm, but I've discovered that half the watches I thought were 35mm were actually only 34mm, most recently this other Longines, which I bought off the SC earlier this year
I recently saw a 34mm Air King listed as 35mm. Clearly as much rounding up goes on at 34-35mm as at 39-40mm. My wrist is only 6.5" so 34mm is fine. I'm expecting that the straight integrated lugs will add a little presence.
The mesh strap is original (and a bit dented)
If I decide the watch is a keeper, I might look at selling the mesh, if it was worth more than nothing. I've no idea about that, anyone got any idea?
I particularly like the radial brushing on the case, never had anything like that before
The movement is a calibre 6942 manual, ticking at 28,800, with hacking and 3.85mm thick. The hacking is an unusual sort: the second hand continues to zero before stopping.

Looks good DA, and that Mesh looks unique, and I've never heard of hacking like that !
Received today, extremely happy with it. Lovely and elegant.
I Like Dive watches, I just wish more watch companies would make 40mm dive watches, they really are a perfect size for me !!
That looks awesome, do you mind if I asked how much you paid for it with the bracelet? You can pm if you likeReceived today, extremely happy with it. Lovely and elegant.

On a forty year old movement hacking might prove to be fairly pointless, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it nonetheless ;)
New arrival today, a CWC Quartz Diver bought from James (TimeOut). I was worried in case the watch was going to be too big as it is approx. 45mm wide at the crown, but it sits really comfortable and doesn't feel so big when on and the glow from the lume when in reduced light is fantastic.

New arrival yesterday, I heard a rumour that Oakley were getting out of the watch market entirely.
Bought this used, gave it a clean up, she fired up, fits the wrist well despite the rather odd shape.
Oakley Torpedo
Only a new bracelet, a 20 mm take on certain PAM bracelets, which of course come in 24 mm and have solid end links and a double pushbutton on the deployant....
bought today :D
Would also like to know!

On its way and should arrive tomorrow.
Swore blind I'd never buy one but I couldn't resist given the fact that it has only just celebrated its first birthday and the price pretty favourable.
Definitely prefer bracelets so am really looking forward to getting it on my wrist.

Stunning!
Buy one modestly sized Longines and, before you know it, you've two
The hacking on the new one is unusual: when you pull out the crown the second hand continues tripping along at 28,800 until it reaches 12 o'clock, and then it stops.
Well after the Squale thread - I ordered one of these - 1521 Blue Ocean blasted.
Should be here tomorrow or Thursday.
I've got an MM300 purchased from SC en route.
I'm hoping it will be waiting for me when I get home tonight.

Bought an Orient day date automatic off Tim (Tim63). It has an amazing dial that shimmers and changes colour in strong light. It is difficult to capture on a photo, but I took the watch outside in the sunshine and managed to capture a little of it. Superb build quality and a lovely looking watch. Exceptional value for money.

I can't remember how to do pics on here, but achieved a personal Grail at the weekend.
I traded my '69 oyster date for a newer '10 explorer (still 36mm).
I know the steel isn't quite as nice, but I was always worried about the old one so had stopped wearing it.
Really loving the black face. And not having to faff with the date :)
Blimey that was quick Ken!!! Glad to see the watch get an early airing. Tim
I wrote up a thread about this watch concerning the day wheel, never had time to wear or enjoy it before it was whisked off to Swatch Group.
Now it is back to stay.

Very jealous, hope you enjoy it.I wrote up a thread about this watch concerning the day wheel, never had time to wear or enjoy it before it was whisked off to Swatch Group.

This is my most recent acquisition. A very rare Urwerk 103 in great condition. It was the first watch Urwerk ever made, long before they had any CNC machines, so a lot of it was made by hand. Only 50 or so was produced :)
That Urwerk looks very special , can we have more info and pictures please?
Just taken delivery of this, my first Rolex. I can't believe this is older than me. Absolutely stunning example. Crappy phone pic does it no justice...
New arrival....

Great thread. That JLC below is a beaut.
An old favourite has returned - not much loved on here but I've always liked them, GP a Sea Hawk Pro2 3000m.
Those are lovely. One of my favorite dive watches of all time.An old favourite has returned - not much loved on here but I've always liked them, GP a Sea Hawk Pro2 3000m.
If someone doesn't like them, they are sucked it from one He Valve and spat out from the other one.
Very interesting swap indeed. All 4 watches are in my most desirable category but I think I'd have done it the other way round. Having said that I've had 5 orange PO's so far........PO a couple of weeks ago and the Pelagos on Sunday......replaced a DSSD and EXP2 42MM White.
Lovely watches all of them.
So I sent a very sorry looking Tissot off for repair to the UK Service Centre.
They decided to send me a brand new one instead at a greatly reduced price.
Incoming tomorrow
Just ordered a Limited edition Stowa Marine Original Blue
Should be here June/July

My, what a long strap you have...
Should arrive tomorrow
A seahorse has just arrived from Roland. Very very pleased with it and good service from Roland. The colour of the titanium case is great and when Eddie reopens I think it will look perfect on one of his deluxe nato's I might have to have a bit of a clearcut now, the watch box is getting too full.
I had the Rolex watches for 2 years.....the longest I've kept a watch. Got bored and fancied a change. The PO was to be then and only but have always loved the Pelagos and now with the in-house it was done.
Great looking watch. Congrats. The colour of that strap they come on looks great too.A seahorse has just arrived from Roland. Very very pleased with it and good service from Roland.

I've just purchased a C7 Rapide Chrono MKII which should be on its way shortly.
Id love to hear from anyone who currently owns one.
