This arrived today, I've been wearing it since my wife came home at two o'clock and she is either not talking to me or hasn't noticed it yet and that includes a hour driving in the car with it in full view. Maybe I should have bought a brighter colour.



Apologies, this was straight out of the box and still has the protective plastic on the bracelet.

Thank you. It seems to be a fairly rare bird, I've never seen another "in the wild" in the three years I've owned it.

It's a beautifully detailed thing, here's the back of it.

I've only ever seen the BTR with red highlights, and that was in a shop window! I prefer your yellow version though; Another watch to add to the list! smile Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, thanks for commenting. smile

The red highlight version is actually very slightly different in that for some reason it has a black rubber bezel instead of polished stainless. I'm not sure why, and whilst I like the red, I much prefer the stainless finish of mine.

This one is a royal oak chrono, the royal oak offshores are lovely but were just a tad too big for me.

Appeared in the post this morning.

It's an Android Transocean-52 AD458.

It was bought as part of a deal with a G-Shock I found over on WUS.

Can't see the point of posting the G-Shock on here as everyone knows what they're like... (it's an AWG-101-1AER)



Sorry about the phone picture, all I could get my paws on this morning. frown

Incidentally, the scratches on the inside of the bezel are not visible under normal viewing. (In fact the photo brought them to my attention.)

My only issue with it is that it's probably to big for me. I prefer a smaller watch. I'm also worried about what it will do to my winder. smash

iPhone pie again here too... Avenger Seawolf Chrono.

It's been worn everyday for over a year, through thick and thin, and still looks like new compared to my stainless watches. It gets battered about offshore, and I even use the yachting function lol.



I would love a nice new dressy watch as well as beasty functional ones. I was at Zurich airport the otherday and they had two limited edition Tag Monaco 24 lemans on display. They would not budge from the RRP though which is a bit eye watering for a monaco.
