Incoming: what do you have? (part 2)

[Stuart]

I have a Sinn 856 UTC which either has the same case or one very, very similar. I do love the aesthetics of this type of watch.

[benny.c]

Me too. It's funny but until I got in to watches properly I'd never even considered the pilot style. It was always divers and "sports" chronos for me.

They look good on a Hirsch Liberty





plus Di-Model Jumbo



and not bad on a NATO either.

[benny.c]

I'm with you on the first two

[andy tims]

Whoops. Just seem to have bought another Sinn



Sellers pic. Will be on it's way to me tomorrow.

Another one I was tempted by! Is the original two register dial included?

[Dogtown]

Speedmaster mark ii with exotic ( racing ) dial. Just arrived today, still has lovely sunburst finish.

I had to be fast to get that.
I think all the bits replaced at service are included.

Cool. I read the original thread when the seller purchased it and it looked even better with the two register dial. Not that it looks bad now mind! I'd love to see a wrist shot when you get it. I've always liked the look of them but have never taken the plunge thinking they may wear a little tall.

Wonderful

These look good on a 'Tudor Heritage' NATO (if you like NATOs that is).

I'm having a replica Corfam rally strap with Orange stitching made to complement mine!

Just arrived - thank you eBay

I really think you ought to let others have a go every now and then...


That does look rather nice though - is it particularly rare ?

I think the man has an addiction...

Actually, on reflection, I think he may be doing some sort of charitable work - selflessly saving others from getting into trouble with their OHs by buying the watches before they can

Lovely watch. Congratulations. The envy is strong

Does the case have a bead-blasted type of finish ?

Thanks Ed,
would be great to see a photo of your watch with the new strap when it arrives.
