Now one,Rusty👍
New Omega NATO for this Omega Seamaster co-axial diver 43.5mm (ceramic case).
OK well this arrived today and unfortunately it has a large crack/chip in the crystal at 11:00 which isn't in the pictures. Not very happy. Will see what the seller says but I REALLY don't want to play the minefield of trying to find a competent watchmaker that will replace the crystal without messing something else up in the process. Might just send it back - I wanted to open it and wear it but already the experience has been ruined... wonder why I bother sometimes!
EDIT I’ve spoken to a watch repair place in York who will replace the crystal. It wears really nicely. The Landeron 49 movement is LOUD!! Very accurate too as far as I can tell currently. I didn’t realise it has fixed wire lugs too but I wanted to try it on a perlon anyway.
Hopefully the seller will do the right thing and compensate for the crystal. Will let you know... I little bit concerning that it arrived wrapped in bubble wrap only and it clearly hadn’t even been wiped down with a microfibre cloth.

this landed today, not the most expensive watch I have ever bought, came from a fellow WIS, rare in white ? and one I had been waiting for a while to appear .

Although I like the date version and it's trapezoidal window, I just have too many non-quickset date watches already!

Just in:
Lorus RXF41AX7
Well that lives up to its name. Puts Seiko to shame on the lume.
Wouldn't Seiko be feeling pride, rather than shame?
Depends. As a company yes, being part of Seiko Watch Corporation. However Lorus is at a very different price point so this is where they put their higher priced Seiko colleagues to shame.
After the planet ocean these two. It’s been a bit of a busy week
Met up with my mate Wes aka Kippax earlier. Finally managed to persuade him to sell me this as he is off to live his BLNR dream tomorrow.
Fridays watch thread will be interesting it looks like everyone's bought something new.
Thanks . Thread on it here Engraving

Bargain Beater Bonanza today:
L: Lanna Starfish v.5 - single crown supercompressor, Sweden, 40mm, Ronda 715 - £140 brand new extra silicon strap
M: Tauchmeister TO255 - Germany c/o HK I'm guessing, 52mm wide, 1000m rating, Seagull TY2806, will survive next apocalypse , also £140 new (less garish colour combos are available)
R: Dugena Diver's Friend - Germany, 44mm, full lume dial, quartz (no idea what yet), on a Jubilée Nylon strap from "cheapestnatostraps", £90
The build of each and every one of these has surprised and impressed, and minor though it is, each arrived with the correct time and date set - unlike ALL of the far more expensive watches I've bought!
Just got back from Rolex

This arrived this week, it’s a bit of fun from the aptly named Walter Mitty watches (yes that is their name)
Not bad for the money and a nice sized 5517 homage.

Picked this up tonight. Have to say the jubilee bracelet is stunning, a small micro adjustment on the clasp and it was on the wrist. Such a relief to have the stickers removed on this one. Sit back relax and enjoy.
Surprised the wife with this at the same time. Late 20th wedding anniversary present.
