I bought this NOS from my AD back in November.
But though for me a champagne dial is traditional. I found that the shade was too dark and combine that with the hands and the colour of the day/date disc found it difficult to read.
So I took the plunge and sent it back to Rolex. To have the dial, hands and day/date disc changed. And of course it had to have a mandatory service (which I didn’t mind) and it only took about 6 weeks.
I am very pleased with my decision and reading the time and date is easy.

Back in the Rolex 5513 club ,albeit with service dial and hands.
I was REALLY impressed with the Alpina Seastrong GMT I bought recently, but haven't quite bonded with its (flawless) titanium grey finish, so foolishly looked around to see what other colours were available, and stumbled across the chronograph version at a Must Have It price. They really are a HELL of a lot of watch for the money!
This one, bought in this forum

Wanted a Monnin cased watch for ages and been a fan of the Heuer night divers too. Just never thought I could get one for Seiko money. Pleased so far
Thank you. On close inspection it looks very good, original and well cared for. Tiny bit of the red dot has flaked, just visible under a loupe, and the lume doesn't last long as one might expect for a thirty(?) year old watch.
One more ticked off my list, I'm pretty happy.

Seems to be a GS theme at the moment - got this from Ryan. The dial is stunning in the flesh!
I tried a Skyflake on in Manchester just before Christmas. Absolutely gorgeous watch, and far nicer than the Snowflake imho.
Got it today...wanted for such a long time

Arrived this morning......wanted one of these for ages and now it has the new-ish in-house calibre movement....nice to see a sensibly sized watch box.
Just picked up a new DSOTM Apollo 8, will post photos in the daylight.
Picked up a new sapphire sandwich this month and just got the Casioak this week.
Bit of a fun one and something different for me.

Nothing special, but let me introduce my new "hard work watch" :-)
After complaining that there are two many vintage homages on the market!
Decent little extras as well - extra thin leather strap, extra nato strap and comes on thicker leather strap... plus a pen knife.
