Newly arrived, I think it's fair to call me a fanboy of the brand.
New arrival, minutes few ago…
Although 3rd time I have had one!!!
Love the blue and ceramic now. Very nice.
(Just realised I’ve set time but not date!)

I'm loving the micro-brands at present. My Aquatico Poseidon with brushed ceramic insert and a cracker of a vintage inspired Seiko case. It's stealthy.....

I'm really enjoying this 83 reissue. First quartz watch for ages and you know what, now that I'm able to compare it on an objective level and really appreciate it for what it is I'm finding it so convenient - especially in this format where it seems like the most true incarnation of a classic.
A panerai for the small wrist

A trade of GMTs
So one of my LXs went out and my first GS came in, loving it so far

Really like the Doxa orange Sub 300 T but too much for me with the orange dial and matching strap. So I saw a pic online with the orange strap on a Sharkhunter. IMO works really well and picks up on the orange accents on the dial and hand set perfectly

A new arrival today!
The Mkii Nassau. A great watch I have wanted to try for some time. Classic looks, great proportions an eta movement and double domed sapphire. Tried it on a few straps today and looks like I’ve knocked the bezel off 12 in this pic.

1.1 version OVR - a pretty rare watch.
And a sinn 556i from Steven - not often I have a double incoming
Well, a very long search for the right DJ has finally come to en end... I set out to find a 36mm but ended up with this lovely, as-new DJ 41 (which actually measures a tad under 40mm) in what is to me the correct configuration for this iconic watch.
Couldn't be happier. Well, unless I'd remembered to set the date before I took the photo
Arrived yesterday from dejjl, the Aqualand that started me off on watches, and dive watches in particular.
First time wearing a 24mm lug width/strap, but as others have said it doesn't wear as big as the numbers suggest.
Pretty much the perfect config, Tony.
I’m torn between that and a rhodium smooth bezel. Very different but I’m not sure which one I want of the two.
Solid configuration on the DJ. I'm down for a smooth bezel 41 in blue on oyster as the oyster bracelet beefs it up a bit and I'm trying to save the fluted bezel for a SkyDweller.
Rhodium is much nicer than I was expecting but I only tried that on in the Wimbledon version. Could have flipped a coin between the blue and the Wimbledon.
Yes, the rhodium dial is (to my mind) the other colour to go for.
I've had a smooth bezelled DJ2 on oyster in the past and I have to say I liked it a lot, albeit that it wore a lot larger then the 41. I just associate the DJ with fluted bezel/jubilee bracelet... just a personal thing rather than any one configuration being better than the others.
Beast from the east !
I know, a face that only a mother could love, BUT, this watch is a true gem !
Well, I wasn’t expecting that….
Walked into my local AD (who I’ve purchased from before back in 2018/19.) I was enquiring about the Explorer II 226570 and they had one I could try on.
Had a nice chat about watches, was seated and offered a drink etc, the lovely Sales Assistant then brought me a watch to try on. Asked if I was interested, she pops off to the speak to a Manager and next thing I know I’m actually offered the watch…..there and then!
Really good experience, and exactly how it should be!
Anyway, here is a pic (my photo skills aren’t the best)

Suprise call after a two year wait! Really liking this, wanted the white dial initially but i am content with this.

Wanted Angelina Jolie originally but more than content with Penelope Cruz!
Great incoming, congrats.
Picked this up last week, and I'm really pleased with it - feels like a lot of watch for under £3k.
That's a very nice watch indeed. Do you know what year it is?

Just got this! Can’t believe it’s my first one after years

Well, this lovely thing has gained 3 seconds in about a week. That's pretty impressive, and mirrors my experience of modern Rolex these days.
When you think about that in percentage terms, it's nothing short of miraculous, actually (a 0.00099% variance by my reckoning)!
