I really like this one! What dimensions does it have?Originally Posted by Lyons
This arrived last week. Much nicer to wear than my previous PO chrono, which was just a tad too big.

I thought for a second this is also a 38mm version like the PO. Guess you have a major wrist. Looks great l!
This Komanderskie 211398 arrived today as part of a batch of inexpensive Vostoks destined for modding.
However, having changed the awful standard bezel for a smooth brushed ss one and worn it for a few hours I am beginning to really like the dial and overall look. I may well keep it as it is!
That looks great!LOVING this!
I can’t tell you how close I was to buying it
Enjoy it

This X33 ver1 arrived today, sold as looking almost new with a new service, if you had told me it was new I would of believed you, really pleased with it.
In today. Gorgeous, simple, clean diver.

Not everyone’s cup of tea but a lot of watch for not a huge amount of money. Put in a cheeky offer which was accepted. Ebel 1911 BTR GMT, timekeeping since collection has been excellent

I nearly bought one of these the other day. I'm thought I'd got over green watches but I like the white chapter ring on this one. Like a Pacer…
Might have to have another look
Ooo, Pacers! Lovely.
It's exactly the green/white/green that does it for me too. A nice combo.

I think it's an Ebel Calibre 137.
I'm sure that Ebel eventually sold this movement to Ulysse Nardin back in 2012. UN call it their calibre UN150. No harm in that of course.
Certainly looks tidy John, well done.

Maybe it was the earlier watches that had the zenith movement:

That’s interesting and a great looking watch.Thank you
Thank you. No there isn’t am/pm indicator. I do use the GMT function on my Explorer II so be interesting to see if it impacts me when I use although to be fair it’s once a year on the further holiday.
I really like the ability to hide the hand. Here’s a pic with it visible and hidden behind the hour marker.
So does the GMT hand just function as an independent hour hand with two revolutions in 24hrs?
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Ebel did indeed use the El Primero, but they were in the smaller cased model 1911's of the early 90's era. Very nice they were too.
Dunhill did the same.

Love that. Such a clean look.My Seiko gen 2 chrono,fresh from service with Sumac watches following on recommendation from here
Thank you. I believe so yes. Other than for the picture I’ve hidden it and not really noticed haha. But yes I think that’s the case.
One funny thing is that my 312 now feels huge and plain in comparison despite there only being subtle differences to the dial - I think the minute markers make a difference and the matt black dial is nice compared to the colour of the 312 dial. The case of the 312 is quite a bit thicker than the GMT too.
Definitely strong Genta ethos coming through this one DSC01491.jpg

I received a small discount from the CWC Vault for this ex-display, non-issued quartz chronograph. It is a welcome upgrade from my 2019 Newmark 6BB reissue. I know the consensus on the date window likely is that it is an abomination, but I am happy to be in the minority. This is a near perfect watch for me.

Good luck. I can sometimes go as long as two months before the idea gets binned.

Arrived yesterday. It suits me just fine.
This 2003 arrival has merely consolidated my belief that early 2000s watches were the best!
Bracelet arrival. Picked up this genuine Tudor jubilee yesterday. Massive improvement over the original one.
I really like the look of these and the range of functions available. Not sure if it’s the angle of the photo but it looks a bit big for my 7.5 inch wrist. Do you have a link the the reference and where you bought it from. I like the green but are there other colours?Arrived yesterday. It suits me just fine.
Many Thanks
Neil
Nice fit. I do find their 5link very comfortable and the t-fit clasps great.Bracelet arrival. Picked up this genuine Tudor jubilee yesterday. Massive improvement over the original one.

I have the same piece on a 7.75" wrist and it's a fine fit, anything over 7" should carry it well as the lugs are curved. The camera angle makes it look huge, but it's a nice size and sits well on the flat of the wrist.
The green is the CB5921-59X, the black is the CB5921-59E, the CB5930-82L is blue; all SS.
The CB5925-82X is a PVD with green dial, the CB5925-15E is a PVD with a very deep bronze dial and aged lume.
I got mine for £329 from Amazon, several places are around that price if you do a little digging.
Side on on my wrist...
Also worth noting, if you like a 'dead face', that is with no ticking seconds hand, it can be left in chrono mode (CHR). Time and date (not day) still functions as normal, but it'll only receive the DCF77 signal in time mode (TME).

Hi Neil. Bought it from Hilliers Jewellers, in my hometown of Middlesbrough. It seems that I bought the last one in stock. I’m sure it would look fine on your larger wrist. My wrist is around 6.5 inch and obviously the watch is too big for me, but I don’t let minor details like that put me off. Haven’t seen the model in anything other than the green dial. I paid just short of £350. RRP is around £500.
That’s great thanks for the additional info and picture. I’ll check out the different version and mull things over. No Citizen in the collection currently either.
Cheers
Neil
Every collection should have one. Very nice. It's one of the only watches I wish I had two of, one to keep and one to wearThis 2003 arrival has merely consolidated my belief that early 2000s watches were the best!
Minor point-of-order - I keep sniffing around these since you got yours, and just now discover the blue dial model is the odd one out in being Titanium, not SS.
Nice, I didn't notice that. I just went by the colour.Minor point-of-order - I keep sniffing around these since you got yours, and just now discover the blue dial model is the odd one out in being Titanium, not SS.
Picked this up at the London watch fair. Very funky 18k UN with its original gilt dial from the 1950s. Love the un expected finds!
