Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Picked this up on the forum the other day and to say I am pleased would be a massive understatement! Daytona 6263 Big Red.
Just for a reality check , this cheap and cheerful clerkenwell
Makes me happy , I have issues lol
^^^Good to see these type of watches staying on the forum. Cherish it, it's a beauty!
You didn't mean the clerkenwell I hope
Ha, excellent post timing thereYou didn't mean the clerkenwell I hope
That is a really lovely Daytona, congratulations

I like it!You didn't mean the clerkenwell I hope
Welcome to the forum - you live near me, and also to another member - Waynne - he's a nutter, stay well away is my advice ;-p
I do too but I nevertheless wish they'd made it smaller[*] and manual wind. They should have been able to keep the low price by going with a Chinese manual movement. But I recognise that if they had gone this route it probably wouldn't sell so well.
*: Me saying that a watch should be smaller!? I usually love bigger watches. But for vintage verisimilitude I can't help but feel it should be smaller. :-)
I liked these but only saw them for +£200, found this in a state, sent to Cannop for an overhaul and new glass. Ordered a Gasgasbones and now it's on my wrist......
Looks bigger in the picture not that bad really, I agree with you would be nicer with a manual wind .
This arrived on Friday
This 3777 arrived the other day, the blue dial is very nice indeed.
Arrived yesterday. Always wanted a 356 so to finally have one is a little special for me.
My sub :)
I like that. Could you give me some info on that please as I have an Aqua Terra on my wish list and still not too knowledgeable about all of the models available.This arrived on Friday
Have wanted to add a TH for a little while now but TBH have never seen one that took my fancy until this Saturday spotted this in a local jewellers good size nice dial and large date window full set from 2011 so a happy punter.
Crap picture but very happy with this for £183!
I got My first Aristo just a couple of weeks back and like to show it. Really pleased with the quality. I got the 262 already on its way in the the post and cant wait to show them both together.
So, my wife has never liked my digital G-shock (the retro square, positive display, non-stealthy GW-M5610BC-1ER) on the basis it looks like one of those plasticky Casios from the 80s (which was rather the point but...) and although I like it (and had added the combi-bracelet normally found on the negative display version) I eventually convinced myself that an ana-digi G was the way to go as it is easier to get the time at a glance and at an angle. Two excuses then, at least one more than we usually need.
There are many cheaper ways to resolve the conundrum but after literally moments of thought I plumped for an MTG-1500B-1A1EF. I think it was the catchy name that did it...
It arrived this morning. It is not yet synced for time or adjusted to fit, but I already know it was the right decision. Slightly extravagant for a G-shock but this is a fine piece of work.
Very happy with the decision.

Incoming with the leather on order too, the days cannot go fast enough.
It's been an expensive, but very exciting day! These two are on the way to me:
Fresh from service and looking smart!
Soviet era Slava on a grey Nato. This was NOS bought from Italy on E Bay for 13 Euro plus postage ! It is nice to have something a bit different.
Received today... I have wanted a Blackbird since the 90s, then to find a full set Bluebird on here... it had to happen.
Got this one in a trade, Torgoen T8.
It has 3 separate indepent adjustable movements.
A very convenient watch for a regular traveller.
I'm not sure its a keeper though, got it in a trade.
It wears awesome on the wrist because of the great rubber strap.
Very nice! Where did you get it done?
Fresh from service and looking smart!
Plexi :)
No ugly white gold markers :)
Tritium :)
Box and papers :)
However something went wrong during shipment I think..
Bill Rice, about a 4 week turn around.
That's a pain - an easy fix; but will make you worry about something more serious

Thanks!
Well, it's finally arrived....

^^^ well worth the wait… the lume looks fantastic!
A leather strap with an orange theme arrived today for my new AT
Nobody had anything new in a week?! I've not had anything since Xmas, so this thread is as close as I have at the moment!
A bit late for me as I've had this a week and a half
After hearing good things I thought I'd give Tiger a shot...
...got to say for the price I'm thoroughly impressed. So much so I'll probably take the time to throw a review together after I've worn it for a bit.
That looks a million dollars - pure class! I love that "Explorer" style, and that strap looks great.Incoming with the leather on order too, the days cannot go fast enough.
and very pleased I am too! Many thanks to Alan for doing the deal:
This arrived today. comes as part of a set watch, strap and case, made for the Italian market in the early 1990's. Vostok Komandirskie Rising Star. It's been well looked after. Very pleased.
Then this one arrived. Got it for £22 on E Bay. It's at least 50 years old. Soviet era Kirovskie 'crab' case. Waiting for a brown leather strap to arrive for it. In real life the dial looks even better as the imperfections are not magnified.
Precista PRS 18A on green NATO arrived from Timefactors today.
Well chuffed.
Thanks Eddie!
Thanks Oliver.
