    It's just arrived and been on my wrist for about 10 minutes but I can ate it staying in a lot longer! I'll try it on a Perlon strap when I get home. Very happy so far



    Thanks to Ant for supplying

    You can probably find a used one, but the asking prices are quite high at the moment.
    Thanks for the info absolutely love it

    Rather low res shot of a response to a WTB. Manual wind has never been so pleasurable!

    Well I wanted one of these for a while, and mentioned it to my local dealer before Christmas. They said well it could be a while but I didn't want to travel to another dealer who had one or get on the grey market.
    I'd rather carry on buying from a local business so said I'd wait.
    Anyway last Friday they said they had just had one in did I still want it!
    Yup!



    Yes they wear quite big but still loving it even with my skinny wrist!

    That is amazing! It's got a Corum Bubble feel to it but so much more techy!

    Perhaps not the only watch to have, but there really isn’t much occations where you couldn’t wear it.
    Extremely well made and nicely finished.

    Very cool. First time I've heard they wear big. I too have skinny wrists - be interesting to hear your views on it after a couple of weeks .

    I have pretty skinny wrists as well. Nonetheless I think the maxi dial version looks so much nicer I went for one but sadly it didn't stay almost 100% down to the fact that it just wore too big for me. Gorgeous watch though!

    Very nice; must be the first on the forum. I'm very tempted by it. Where did you get it from?

    Just picked this up from the post office. The dial is beautiful (and my picture doesn't do it justice!)

    An early quartz (ESA 9183 movement) and a funky crystal.




    I know it’s quartz but losing 2s a day for a 45 year old watch rescued from the eBay scrap heap is pretty good I think. The pictures don’t show it but the dial and hands are perfect. The case and bracelet have lots of small scratches but generally nothing to bad. It may be worth an evening polishing the shiny bits as they contrast nicely with the brushed areas. The movement looks nice as well (stock shot as I haven’t had the back off yet).



    This is a link to a nice write of a movement service, with lots of pictures including the (apparently) very large rotor.

    A little rarity arrived this morning. Wasn't a limited edition but production stopped at 25 due to separation of Aramar and Steinhart. Very lucky to find it

    I can see five in the last ten days.... these two, the GS, the Fortis and the Casio.

    When was the Tudor chrono?

    Hamilton Khaki Navy Sub Automatic on Black Hamilton Rubber divers strap. The hands, numbers and the centre texturing of the dial remind me a little of the Aquanaut. Clear and easy to read.

    Good grief Rusty, I used to think I knew a little about Steinhart, but you keep turning up watches that I have never heard of. Where do they come from, not here or e-bay surely.

    Ah I forgot about the Casio / pesky son nicked that one within 10 minutes of arrival ☹️. Sold 2 steinharts bought two steinharts. The Fortis was a straight trade for another watch, but yeah abstinence isn't my strongest suit
    Crumbs just checked - the Tudor chron was January too. Eek. Better not tell 'er indoors. Luckily she's completely ambivalent to my watches although she has taken to wearing your old Longines Admiral centre seconds

    I do find the sapphire reflects a bit but Im used to a Damasko’s and there’s just disappear.

    It’s the only gripe I have with the Hamilton

    Finally scratched the itch for a gold watch. 20180223_125045.jpg
    My vow of no watch purchase in 2018 lasted 1 month and 22 days. 🤤🤤

    The Incoming / New Arrival Thread

    My new arrival. Whilst the rubber strap was lovely and soft, I had ordered a Hirsch Robby to go with it which works much better for me as the buckle and keepers are smaller
