New in today - first new watch for several years. Was bored on a call yesterday and the next thing you know...
Two main reasons: first, I've been reaching consistently for my smaller watches and my (other) diver in particular is a big chunky beast (heading for sales corner when I have time); and secondly, as I get older and my eyesight deteriorates, I struggle to read date windows without my recently acquired reading glasses, which is annoying, particularly when setting a watch I haven't worn for a bit.
Other (real) reason: I rather like it.
Such a lucky lad today
Two new incomings for me.
So happy right now.

I found a Longines Legend Diver at a reasonable price so I thought I’’d finally buy one new. I think that this may be the 3rd time I’ve purchased one, with the previous two being a bit tatty around the edges which resulted in them being quickly moved on. Hopefully this one will stay a little while !

Arrived today. Will be on ebay within the hour
Found one of these on eBay for a non-crazy price, very pleased with it.

New arrival via SC. By far the best G Shock I've owned, on another level from even the full metal I owned. So light and comfortable on the wrist.
Loving it so far!
Two new incomings
One a fun quirky Seiko very Man City
And another Tudor BB58 brand new with the blue leather deployment strap.

This arrived yesterday
And the rear
After a handful of broken promises from Fedex, a neighbour has something for me! I'm not at home tonight but should get home tomorrow in time to slip it into the Friday thread. In some ways the dullest watch I've ever bought but I haven't been so excited about one in years.
Just in, and now on the lake!
Massive shiny new Seamaster:

New incoming for me.
Looked at this one a few times and so glad I went for it

A cracking pair of watches there - could be argued that its a perfect two watch collection! I have the same LX, and absolutely love it. Can't see any difference in quality to the GS spring drive diver I owned. It "dresses down" brilliantly on an Erika's night op's strap, with the added bonus you can get it wet!
Good to know Fred
Had another new arrival today
It’s a 2002 minter of a Seamaster

Snap, now get those wrappers off and bracelet sized :-)

Released a Great White & landed this beauty in the last couple of days.
Thanks to two great forum members!
Absolutely bang on all the way around, there's no slack in it at all.
The only disappointments are the bracelet and clasp. A typically Seiko middle finger up to tried and tested standard means of securing bracelet links and a decidedly mediocre clasp conspire to drag the whole thing down but I've solved the problem by putting it on leather.
And mine makes three, but I've been busy with work and home jobs that mine is still in the box! Think I'll wait until tomorrow morning and a coffee to enjoy the unboxing and sizing. But they sure look good in your photos and well worth the seven week wait.

Love them or hate them, my last incoming piece was the Invicta 1953 (31290) 40mm.....after all the hype over this watch since it's release, I manged to pick one up brand new at retail.
To be honest, for the price point this is an excellent watch and very well made considering its an Invicta but hey, a good watch is a good watch irrespectively of how makes it in my opinion.
The 1953 has been in my rotation this past week or so along with my Tudor BB58 & Yema Superman Skin Diver, with the NH35A keeping +/- 4 seconds per day which I can't grumble at.
All in all, the 1953 is a great beater watch that looks pretty cool (thanks to Rolex of course) on the wrist.
