The wife wanted an eternity ring so I insisted on an eternity watch! Found a tatty one of these online from a useless seller who (thankfully) never responded to calls and emails. A few weeks later though a mint one turned up on Chrono24 with box! Pic below of it on my wrist and one from the advert, it's a 1972 Heuer Jacky Ickx Easy Rider.

I've got an Offshore Professional Field Engineer on the way. Putting it on a straight edged brown leather Hirsch Strap.

I'm concerned this is the first step in a very expensive addiction.

Is that an Avenger Thainy?

Been looking for something new recently, tempted by another Breitling as am struggling to get any interest in anything else.

Yeah, it's the Avenger black steel.

Just pre-ordered a Bradley with olive green band. Was struck by the genius of the design and history of its genesis (via Kickstarter).

Picked this up yesterday



I've always wanted a Monaco and simply couldn't resist any more, not everyone's cup of tea I know but I absolutely adore it

Not seen black subdials on silver before, or the crown on the left now I look, interesting combination.

I keep looking at Monacos... I suspect I'll get one sometime smile

Presumably that's a vintage one, rather than a TAG Heuer without TAG branding?

It's a re edition.... Hence the Heuer only logo.... Uses the same movement as my re edition Silverstone.... Note crown on left..smile

Most Heuers have the crown on the left, except if they are manual wind, quartz, or with Lemania movements.
