Is there a gap between the case and the bracelet on the GS or is it an optical illusion?Originally Posted by ryanb741
The tiny bit of taper to the lugs makes such a difference: many brands when attempting this style have ramrod straight lugs, but with these lugs ALS eversoslightly soften the tone.This. It's simply exquisite.
Either this:
Or this:
The carbon fibre dial changes with the light and the batons, indices and writing appear to float above it in certain lighting.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
This Bremont. The 2017 DH88. I think looks great on the wrist and I'm liking the lume .

The UG is unbelievable!A couple of Genta classic designs
And this very unusual cross hair JLC power reserve from the 1950’s
Only one purchase this year for me , one for Mrs T , but that’s another story,
so has to be this which was worth the wait!

My first Rolex.
SS DJ41, rhodium dial, Oyster bracelet, smooth bezel. Happy birthday to me!
Zenith by name.
Oh Rusty, tell me more. If you have already written about this elsewhere please link me!a side project that cost less is also a 2019 favourite
the last one reminds me of the metal bracelets the GIs had made in Vietnam.Probably torn between 2. The Black Bay Chrono Dark is amazingbut for sheer presence, heft and superb finish it’s this
both very expensive for my restricted budget so a side project that cost less is also a 2019 favourite
Tricky one as I have worn my new seamaster the most this year so should by rights qualify as the favourite acquisition ...
However, the Zenith hits the spot, despite having minimal wrist time cos it’s a bit more special.

Definitely no gap so just an illusion
Random, passing by an AD and saw it in the window moment back in January. My first new Rolex and probably my last new watch for a while.

I have only acquired two in 2019 I haven't sold since and given I've decided I'm definitely not selling my PO, it wins by default:
Excellent thread. https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...ight=engraving
Probably this one. It's certainly had the most wrist time.
Easy to answer this year; my only purchase :-

Quiet year for me (only 3 purchases) so a comparatively easy choice

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Probably this one for me, but a tough call.

This one. The size and proportions are perfect for me, the build quality is superb. I adore the dial; it is the deepest gloss black, and coupled with the AR coating, makes the markers look like they’re floating.
Also, I’ve owned this watch for three months and it hasn’t lost any time whatsoever.
What size wrist to you have?Either this:
Or this:
Went a little nuts after a house sale in the summer - albeit I went for quantity over outright quality. Of the 15-odd watches I bought, my favourite is probably this -
The quality is the equal of more expensive rivals, making it an absolute bargain IMHO.
Tough to choose a fave from this year's purchases but I think this was the one.
Which after a service and refurb was transformed into this.
I’m waiting for someone to post a photo of their warranty card.
That's a very lovely restoration. When you first posted it, it had me looking around the internet to see if I could find one.Tough to choose a fave from this year's purchases but I think this was the one.

NOS 14060m!
Wow, how did you manage that? Was the cost insane?!
Yeah, it's one I couldn't pass up as don't tend to see them too often! Haha yeah not cheap but actually not too bad when compared to what current submariners are being resold for
[QUOTE=Snoodles;5274960]I’ve also been very lucky with lots of ins and outs! But this blue Buckley is a bit special and unpolished. A white one came along shortly afterwards which is still being serviced but think the blue is a keeper..
Or perhaps this full set unpolished OQ
That 5513 is sexual.
Probably this 5513...
Although this latest arrival runs it close...
My acquisition early this year
The FiftySix is a beautiful watch, tried one on in the AD when getting the overseas, surprised at how light it was

Very nice, i want one.Have to say this one as it makes everything else in the collection seem poorly made! Having said that, I am enjoying the 114270 and 2255.80 which were the other incomings in 2019 and probably get a lot more wear!

Simples really, Tudor GMT.
Obvious choice:
But actually I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by this one, especially on the new bracelet:
