Picked up my Certina DS Super PH1000M today.
I’ve been waiting for this release for a long time.
Pleasantly surprised with this one so far. Very different from my usual 'type'.

6th day of ownership.
Consolidation and a 2 year itch for a RG watch.
Need Tonys photography skills to capture the finer finish and dial!

That Patek is stunning. For some reason I associate most watches in RG as feminine but Patek seem to make it work extremely well for the mens watches range.
Wish I could consolidate but I know I'd regret it so just got to find a way to keep adding instead
Sorry to steal your thunder, Tony, but I sorted the image for kultschar:

The Mango was delivered today. Initially had buyers remorse when I pre ordered but now it’s here, I’m pleased I didn’t cancel.
Quite taken with it. In fact will probably pick up the black dial later some point.
OEM strap was too long but pleased to see the Sinn U50 rubber is a perfect fit!!

Arrived last night from SC, a PRS-56 Mission Timer. Straight onto a Nick Mankey strap.
Only my second TF watch, having enjoyed a Dreadnought Voyager a few years ago.
Find myself spending more and more time wearing quartz at the moment.

Arrived yesterday. If you had of told me 11 years ago when I joined this forum having just purchased my first "real" watch (Oris TT1 Diver) that I would one day have one of these on my wrist, I would have asked what you were smoking!!
Pure understated quality and class. Extremely happy with it!

Not new watches, but certainly a whole new feel and look for watches I already have, thanks to new straps.
I took advantage of the recent ZicZac leather 50% off sale to stock up on new exotic leather straps
I am delighted with the quality, fit and finish of them.
2 are being immediately pressed into service with new shoes on my Blancpain (black crocodile) & my Sólás (Blue python), I think the Python pairs particularly well with the aventurine dial.
The blue Croc that will likely live a short while on my blue Seamaster GMT, although I do think the Python might end up suiting that one more. The last strap is for the better half's carrier tank.

Got the call the other day and picked up today.

Be interested to hear your thoughts on that after a few weeks. I’m on the list for one (and a Sub LV). Have been able to try the LV on at the AD and really liked it… but trying to find the GMT even to look at in real life hasn’t been possible.
This arrived this morning. I've wanted this variant in 42mm for ages, albeit that I missed a couple recently. Size is actually perfect on my small-ish wrist, with clear water on both sides of the lugs.
Popped it on a Zulu for now as I had to give up resizing the bracelet (a case of life mirroring art if you saw my recent thread on the subject). Incoming PM for Mr Walker later!

Radcliffe Le Dome. Prototype reviewed here: https://youtu.be/I4_DvNzcIPU?si=4-pMlPJktSNLYGdA
The production version is pretty good, in fact, it's really nice.
Recently acquired for my holiday in February (mainly because I don't want to take any of my expensive watches on holiday); a Dievas Vortex 500m. Ideal for swimming and general holidaying.
It cam on a leather strap, a nice one, but I decided to randomly plump for a 22mm curved rubber, and it's a perfect fit if somewhat tricky to mount. The Titanium buckle also fits perfectly.
Lovely!

Well, it wears very well. Snug to the wrist and exceptionally light - the lug shape works very well for keeping the head close. It doesn't stand off the wrist despite its alleged depth (14mm) so doesn't hit passing doorframes.
Magnificent clarity due to the narrow, reassuringly solid-clicking bezel and large crystal, which is domed. Superb contrast between dial and indices/hands. The left hand crown really suits me as I wear my watch on the right wrist despite being right-handed.
The bezel overhangs which makes for easy adjustment, and the whole thing smacks of being well made. The lume is good, but not exceptional. but easily enough for most folks' needs.
A nice piece, perfect for my splashing in the pool.![]()

Was missing a Tudor in the collection, solved that with this new addition

This arrived recently but took a while to get the bracelet sized. Absolutely loving it!

Thought I would give one of these a try after quite liking the Moonswatch as a cheaper watch not to worry about too much. Not liking the original strap as it makes it sit too high, it is too long and obscures the display back but can begin the hunt for a nice replacement, thinking a navy sailcloth might work well
I'm fortunate to have a real Blancpain so doesn't work well as a gateway to the brand for me. I have wanted an FF for a while but 45mm is too big so it kind of fills that gap!
