Got this today, a bit bigger than my other omegas nice change, loving it.
This arrived yesterday. A '79 16753 nipple dial. Fitting considering the weather.
Arrived on a jubilee which I thought was a little too Miami for me so went to see Ian at Hamilton and Inches to raid their selection of Kauffman straps. This is part incoming and part recommendation really. The straps are something else. Put some of the better known and discussed makers in the shade. Can't speak highly enough of them or Ian for having a fettle with a timing machine, pressure tester and some polywatch while I was checking out the straps.
Anyway. This is a navy brushed nubuck. It feels like velvet!
Also picked up a matte alligator but haven't fitted that just yet.
And i know the bezel is off :D
That's a nice looking seamaster, what's the model number?Got this today, a bit bigger than my other omegas nice change, loving it.
I can't find it, using good ol' Google.

My 2nd one of these. Purchased from Berrys who I can recommend
That's a lovely thing and your prose has, as usual, made me smile. But, with the greatest respect, a brown and sand coloured watch on a blue strap, are you mental?This arrived yesterday. A '79 16753 nipple dial. Fitting considering the weather.

Nothing wrong with blue and brown together
Hah. I like to occasionally march to my own drum ;)
Have got a brown strap for sensible occasions.
Delighted with this JLC Master Hometime - it could well be getting preference over my Aqua Terra.
Very simple and elegant, but significant with its 40mm size. Reasonably well decorated in-house cal 975 - you can just about make out the ceramic rotor bearings in the pic below.
From 1974, red submariner.
In quite good condition :)
So jealous. Congrats!From 1974, red submariner.

Very nice indeed. I like the open 6 on the seconds subdial.1) ARSA 7733 'top time' from Hodinkee pop up at Harrods
Speedy.
Thought long and hard about this one vs conventional Speedy but decided I have enough black faced watches.
Love the fact that the dial is slightly off-white, like an Old English white, and the 5-60 markers.
On the bracelet for a couple of weeks then I'll try a distressed brown leather.

Ah the Marui! I had one of these once, it also looked great on a black alligator grain strap.
Nice watch Mark, glad it worked out in the end. You won't see another in the wild - well done.
My mitsukoshi mod finally came back from the jeweller. The original dial and hands swapped for the mitsukoshi parts.
I love it I love it I love it
It's a 4 isn't it?Truly awful - look at the 2 in the date window
Those Mauris are lovely!
Absolute beaut!
That is a beauty. Love the simple ROOPicked this up a few weeks ago from Luxe Watches in Essex. Very happy with it so far but slightly nervous about hitting it on something as its my biggest ever watch purchase by a fair few £s.
This got sent of from Italy at 4pm today. Scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Thank god for UPS
Just received a Bulova Moon Watch. First impressions: I quite like it.
Nice to get my favourite Steinhart back again. This is my third example of the rarer Mark 1. I sold the first on here and had sellers remorse and the second was a mint condition NOS still stickered watch that I just couldn't bring myself to touch, so I let it go. I have been on the lookout for a replacement and found this lovely example.

The mark 1 has the following differences to the Mark 2 pictured below for reference purposes:
A lovely jet black dial
Greenish cloured smaller plots
A forward slash in the depth rating rather than an = in the Mark 2
No number 10 in the bezel insert
A pointed internal 4 in the 40 rather than a flat top on the Mark 2
All in all, more desirable than the later version and one of the more difficult Steinhart models to find as most people bought the Military model.
Must keep hold of this one...

Plus it doesn't appear to have the mk. II's horrible aged lume!
Can you explain a bit more about the 4? I can't see the difference.
I think he means that the shape of the space inside the "4". One comes to a point, the other has a horizontal top edge:
Correct, you see this on the old fat font Rolex inserts, on the mark 1,2 & 3 versions the inner area of the 4 looks more like a triangle, but on later inserts and service replacement inserts there is more of a flat top to both the inner area and the outer top. Steinhart seem to have copied this.
Small points, but the 4 in 40 is one of the key numbers to check when trying to guess which insert you have.
I had the same question, thank you for clarifying this. Interesting detail!
In my Pelagos 4 is very thin, now I noticed that and the font is general is a little bit strange:

Hi Merl,
Sorry for the stupid question but what model Seiko is that? It gorgeous!
Hi bleko,
Thanks, not a stupid question. The model is quite new and quite unknown. It is the SRPA25
Oh lovely. Is that a SARG(?) or an SCVS, or something else, I can't tell.

Oops, I've now seen your reply above.

Wow, just saw it at Creation (currently sold out). Available at a bargain price for something that looks so good.
These are so underrated. I love them. My fave Speedy bar the new Snoopy. For some reason it doesn't appear to be popular. I saw a white dial for half price in Harrods in last year's Boxing Day sales. Was so tempted but couldn't justify it really.I missed the new arrival picture for my BLNR a couple of months ago so thought i show what i picked up today. Omega Speedmaster 57, my first Speedy
Thanks, the price is great for what it delivers.
