In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
It's a very nice 36mm. I'm not sure if it is actually any real indication, but there are a couple of smal pits in the back around the caseback which are brown/black, so I'm thinking it is plated? Could be completely wrong. It was a french seller who didn't give many details other than flufing on about how nice a watch it was.
It's a handsome watch, and although the original Speedmaster is "traditional' - it can appear a bit dark/stark/of its day for me.Finally picked up my Speedytuesday from The Trafford Centre today & have to say it’s worth the wait
Glad you are enjoying it!
It looks great and good to see people finally enjoying them, I have a feeling the ones who flipped instantly may have a few regretsFinally picked up my Speedytuesday from The Trafford Centre today & have to say it’s worth the wait
The hour hand does dissapear into the subdial on that pic though
I’m liking that , nice find 👍Nothing too fancy, and paid far more for it than I think was reasonable, but sometimes you've just got to say sod the money if you like it enough :) Dugena watertrip skindiver 100m. Not entirely sure what date it would be from, mid 70's?
I had #69 of the first batch and stupidly sold it.. nice to have another but it is a newer one.
Latest incoming and I thinks it’s safe to say it’s a keeper
The perfect colour combo. Fantastic.I had #69 of the first batch and stupidly sold it.. nice to have another but it is a newer one.
Love that strap - would like one similar with fitted ends tooLatest incoming and I thinks it’s safe to say it’s a keeper
It's just a matter of time...
Thanks.
It’s an Omega snoopy strap and I’m loving it, curved ends would be perfect though
In today, Seiko solar SSC617P1, 43.5mm, 14mm thick, 118g on the oe strap.

Great one! I had WT in black with faded red bezel. They share case with vintage Stowa Skin Divers and have PUW automatic inside. Beggining of 70s. Understated classic.Nothing too fancy, and paid far more for it than I think was reasonable, but sometimes you've just got to say sod the money if you like it enough :) Dugena watertrip skindiver 100m.

EDIT. Case is stainless steel.
Arrived a week ago today. Initially I wasn't convinced. However, after seeing a few racing dial versions on Rallye straps I bought a dimodell Rallye in black and beige and now I'm converted. I don't know I don't see more on straps as the jingly jangly bracelet isn't the best.

Thanks for the info, although this one is a manual wind.
Oh.. Then probably 17 jewels PUW
That’s a really eye catching style, very retro. Nice.Arrived a week ago today. Initially I wasn't convinced.

Marked dugena 1181 http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-...k&Dugena_1181&
Looks like you're right. Needs regulating/servicing though, about 2 minutes slow a day.
Awaiting the return of my BB41 from repair under warranty. I can't wait to get it back onto my wrist!
My latest arrival won’t be a forum favourite.
Fenix 5 Sapphire.
Still finding little stickers on these two.

Collected by Speedy Tuesday from Goldsmiths Metro Centre yesterday :)
Got myself a DSSD Deep Blue yesterday. Bought it s/h, its a 2015 UK with all the boxes papers etc in really excellent condition. The seller simply didnt get on with it as he felt it was too big, he actually described his wrists as being lime a 5 year old boys. It is actually bigger than I realised but I’m not really worried about that. Had it on all day today and only just realised the date is wrong!! Reset it now correctly. Loving it at the moment, but will wear it for special occasions mainly I imagine

We can maybe start a poll or just have a guess, Yes/No.
We could just enjoy the images along with everyone else's new wrist choices.

Congratulations, a stunning catch
I find that it wears really well.
Perhaps the fake Milgauss aren't as worthy of consideration as the fake DSSDs?Are they real though .....

Never had the wrists for a Dssd.
Cheers Andrew.Congratulations, a stunning catch

I think I find it large at the moment compared to my other pieces. I have a GMT (obtained from W44NNE on here) as my daily wearer, I also have a Daytona and a Hulk. All seem substantially smaller and lighter. I’m sure I’ll get used to it though. I much prefer the dial on this one to the plain black one though, which my bro in law has. The graduated blue to black is sublime and the green text sets it off. The glide lock is a great idea, maybe more watches should have this ??

Did Eddie get back to you David ?
Agree with the above, and it is a watch made to be worn. Wear it and enjoy it.Congratulations, a stunning catch

You will be fine my friend, as I am also presently wearing a GMT, and also own (but rarely wear) a Daytona. I don’t have a Hulk anymore, but a SDc instead.
I still find the D-Blu no problem at all. Certain that it will give you many years of pleasure.
I would love to see the lume on this. Suspect that it will be mental!

I'm finishing up my stash with this one I think.
Some collection shuffling will leave me with my 114060 as a daily, silver dial RO offshore diver for weekends when it's back from service and this for special.
The black diver has gone to an entirely suitable new home today with the 1680 to follow at some point. I'm happy with my choices.
JackW very kindly responded to my WTB, and the watch arrived with me today. I'm absolutely over the Луна with it.

Very nice and a bit of a change up from your usual.
Thanks, I've always been a huge fan of the brand. I just need a nice black leather 21mm strap for it. I think hand-made will be best.
Seamaster 60th Anniversary picked up today.
Got a Nomos Orion 309 coming this week. Plan to use the horween strap to start but would like a second option.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Quite like the Nomos velour look but read elsewhere that they become dirty rather quickly
Sent from my iPhone using TZ-UK mobile app
Good choice!!! I'm fighting the urge to buy an Orion 309. May I ask where did you source yours from? The horween straps are absolutely top draw but unless you have massive wrists the medium strap that they usually ship with may be too big for you. I have 7 1/4" wrists and my Club 701 medium strap was only just small enough. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the Orion strap size wise.
Picking up a used one from Chronext, they've recently relocated their London boutique to a few doors down from my office. Given the mixed reviews, largely around their lack of communication, I was skeptical. The guys in there won me over, but I'll report back on the end to end experience.
I've read about the strap sizing issues. Hopefully if it's on a medium which proves too big, they may be willing to swap it for a small (this is really just wishful thinking, but I'll try my luck anyway)

Very nice indeed. Must try mine on a strap soon. Enjoy.Arrived this week after a successful WTB and made all the better by a great seller..
Just so happens the serial is a birthdate watch for me being 1974 and the reference is 145.022 ST 71 with a beautiful step dial and light charcoal grey bezel, unpolished and just serviced by Brendon.
I'm very happy

Chronext is by far the cheapest. I bought my Club 701 from them in December 2014 at well below RRP when the £ was worth something and it was a great experience. I would recommend them and it's where I'll be getting my Orion from if I don't manage to resist the purchase. Very keen to see some pics when yours lands!
That's good to hear! The only issue with their price varying on GBP:EUR is that I have been checking the fluctuation every day for months! I'll definitely be back with some shots
