Glad it's still loved.Originally Posted by Dr Wolff
Old photo, but it is very definitely still here. Went back to Frankfurt a couple of years ago for battery etc (took nearly 6 months!), but remains one of my favourites. I'm not letting it go, sorry OLT, but you get first dibs if I ever have to sell
Sinnlover and me were talking about his 'civvy' version that I nearly took off his hands a while back, but I then had to resist due to all kinds of house expenses.
I still think it's one of the greatest so-called tool watches ever and I'm baffled why Sinn doesn't reissue it.
Do you still have the Chimaera as well?Old photo, but it is very definitely still here. Went back to Frankfurt a couple of years ago for battery etc (took nearly 6 months!), but remains one of my favourites. I'm not letting it go, sorry OLT, but you get first dibs if I ever have to sell
Griffith 500SE, but yes
My apologies, I underestimated you
Similar here for a few years until last month as was one of few brands/models left that I wanted to try. Give it a go as I suspect you won't be disappointed!
Just received this one

Sadly my wallet would be.
Next year perhaps.
First purchase from SC (thank you Ben!). So pleased, a watch I meant to get when it was in production but never got round to it, chuffed to have a nice example now.
I've got one of the 1965 diver's reinterpretation models as well but there are aspects of this I prefer to the newer model. New (to me) crown placement, the lovely thin bezel, day/date (yes I still need to adjust the date!). Just seems to have more character overall.
Managed to pick up the rubber strap from a BB54 & t-fit clasp OEM & brand new for eBay (for a great price compared to RRP).
Went for a trial fit tonight (as this will be a birthday present next month).
Annoyingly the spring bars I have from both the bracelet and nato are too thick. I presume I need BB54 only ones.
I do have a box of cheap spring bars with a strap changing kit but none were the correct 20mm size (plus I didn't feel like cheap ones would be ideal).
Anyone know of the correct ones? Guess a call to the AD tomorrow.
I do also like the look.
So it seems the BB54 uses 1.5mm spring bars, does anyone know if they'll only be OEM or an alternative that can be used, similar to the standard ones on a Tudor?

Exaequo Softwatch (first series)... deep in the rabbit hole

When you fell for a Glashütte Original Senator Chronometer in white gold many years ago and had to get a sales brochure. You then find out the retail price of around £17.5k.
They are now just over £30k.
The second choice was always going to be one of these.......at last.

Now there's something you don't see every day.
Exaequo Softwatch (first series)... deep in the rabbit hole
Very nice!
A superb watch, congratulations. What is the case size and model ref please?The second choice was always going to be one of these.......at last.
I was tempted by one of these 20 years ago but your version looks improved to how I recall it.
Thanks.
It's a chronometer rated Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur. Model reference 1183-310/40.
It has a 42mm case but it does wear all of that due to the combination of a big dial and thin bezel.

Very glad to have the Sinn UX back on the wrist...
Thank you, I will be on the case tomorrow :)Thanks.

Well, after a plethora of delays after several weeks, it has finally arrived.Sadly, stolen after being dropped of by USPS to the eBay US Hub in Glendale Heights, Illinois. Number 042/150. Look out for it.
The movement is a centre seconds 6497 Unitas modified by Chronoswiss. A calibre C.672.
Note the curved ends to the minute and second hands.
Forgot how much fun a g shock can be.

Thanks John & Sanjay.
I do love a big dial, thin bezel watch with blued hands. Three fairly recent arrivals:
Also this beast.
It's without doubt the best watch I've ever owned at this current price point. The build quality is simply superb. Great movement too.
Complete with dust!

Fine looking watch. Think Binsull was the first one I saw on here with one.
Is that the one Subdial had? Great all rounder and won't see many about.
It is, first in the uk I I can recollect for a while. Hoping the condition matches the description.

Well done and sure it will.
Arrived last week, this lovely Datejust 1601 from 1973 (later Oyster bracelet from 2003). In beautiful condition and running fabulously at around +1.5spd. Just waiting on an additional link.
Reminds me of the, ahem, fake two-tone DJ my Dad got me when I was a kid….loved that watch.
Miss you Dad

Arrived yesterday. Perfect summer watch
Yeah cost is a bit of lunacy definitely. Quality is a notable step up yep, would say finishing is bang on its price point.
The dial, markers and bezel are all very crisp, the dial has a a high sheen finish and a light sunburst depending on the ridge. Lume is a bit of fun for sure.
A great watch to get your hands on and be surprised by I think.
It's a shame it's a cut to size strap, but hey ho.
Yeah I agree, some really interesting bits. This was just a bit different to my other stuff, so fancied it more for that I guess.
I've been after one of these for a while, definitely better in the flesh.
Going to change the strap but otherwise I love it.

That's a great looking tool watch. Junghans deserve more love than they generally get around here!
I bought this Oris Sixty Five Diver a couple of weeks ago and it was finally delivered last week. This is unregistered (with Oris) new old stock, which since being discontinued, has been difficult to find in good condition. The dark blue portion of the dial keeps it interesting too.

Anyone else with Héron Mariner (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...on/description) on its way? Should be coming this week - looking forward to it arriving.

Lovely watch. My pal has the same model and he was round Saturday night and I was wearing my 42mm YM and we both commented on the similarity of the bezels.

The shade of blue dial is really spot on. Pops without being too loud

Arrived today. Wears visually smaller than my Vertex mp45 but also 40mm
My final incoming on my recent cull / purchase spree.
This arrived today.
I have always kept an eye on these.. and the deal was just simply right for me at the time.
It wasn't my first choice to my final 'settled four' (which is my aim), I had to (very sadly) let one go due to bracelet dimensions, so I ended up with this after all.
I have secured a Toshi from here for this, but now it's arrived and on my wrist I actually think the mesh looks amazing. I have had cheap meshes before on watches (I put one my Capeland S XXL diver), but this Breitling one on this actually is very lovely and matches the watch. I knew it was SLIGHTLY under sized, and have secured 3 links (you can't have too many) pre-worn from the Watchfinder official eBay page for £27 (for all three)!!
They are big piece, but I am a big lad, and I wear this and it feels great on my wrist.
It'll be worn more once the links arrive... can't believe the price that they were today. Still buzzing at 3 for £27. Crazy.

Very impressed with overall ft and finish
Another lovely watch from Tom, and a good partner to my other UN Marine Torpilleur. The 44mm Military Torpilleur.
Here is is beside my 44.5mm Top Gun....
That's lovely, and such an underrated brand.

Early visit to DHL to pick this one up. First impressions very positive, although it threatens the position of my other GS quartz in the collection. The boutique have sourced me a replacement strap, at less money than I was expecting too.

Thank you
Got to admit, I have looked at your J09 several times :)
At £8.25 including delivery on eBay, I was half expecting this to be a fake!
.. and actually, it is
