Thanks! I had spotted that earlier! Looks good - although blurrier than Yobokies photo winktongue out
David Bailey I ain't.
It's a great size and wonderfully simple.

Just ordered a jaeger le coultre master compressor geographic, good thing is it's quite an unassuming watch, for when I don't want to wear the gmt 2 bling.

Can't justify a Sinn for now as a beater whilst my Breitling is getting serviced and my Seiko 5 is gathering too many rude comments irked



Waiting for me when I get home.....
I really like these and I think I will get one soon.

If you fancy a bracelet for it, you want a Super Oyster from wjean.

This is a nice bit of Pistonheads that I've not really looked around before - I'm a bit of a watch fan!

I've recently bought one of these, a Nomos Club Datum. This is not my picture but mine is exactly the same.



Nomos are a very interesting brand, well worth a read of their website.
Here's an old thread that describes a factory visit. WWAR - http://forums.watchuseek.com/f8/news-nomos-glash%F...

Just picked up this - A Bernhardt Globemaster GMT. I quite like it as it's a Rolex-alike without being too similar to all the other Sub/GMT clones out there. 42mm so a nice size, but let down by the Lord of the Rings font on the dial which I'm hoping it wont bug me on the wrist.

Saw that on TZ, thought it looked like a good buy for someone.

Worth a punt for not much more than Monster money I thought. Read a few reviews on the net and they seem to get a good write up.

Off to pick this up shortly. I know B&R don't get a great rep usually but I do like this, a little more understated than their usual square offerings.

Saw this on TZ and thought it was an absolute steal. Lovely looking thing too. How big is it?

Is it current or from the period when they were made by Sinn?

I think it's one of their current range, and very tidy it is as well. Apart from the sub-dial it does have a Sinn look to it though.

I tried one of these some months ago whilst killing some some, properly out of my league £ wise but it looked stunning, the pic really does it no favours at all...

I can't get the pic up (at work) but is that a Harry Tan strap... wink

Which B&R is it exactly?

One of these - http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/bell-and-ross-vintage...

Best wait 'til you can see the thread photo though, Jura's pics are pretty rubbish IMO

I believe it's a 123 vintage and it's 41mm so a reasonable size! I'm not sure I'll keep it yet but as it was such a bargain I couldn't resist trying it and another chap is already I referee if I move it on, which given my track record won't be long! I have to say though, it is very nice. Pics later this evening.

By the way Andy, it is a HK Tan strap. Wasn't sure from the pics but it's excellent quality and very comfortable.

Wanted something very sublte, quite small and totally unassuming.

Plan went out the window and I have one of these incoming....



Eventually I will get hold of some Suppa strap adapters and throw it onto a nice aged brown leather strap similar to this...



All excited now hehe
