Corps pattern strap?
It weighs 147g on my kitchen scales with the rubber strap. No idea how this compares but feels a lot weightier than my Gshock
On the order form I requested 213 or 321. I did consider maybe asking for a Corps Memorable date but assumed they would have been requested early on.
Yup, corps colours all the way.It weighs 147g on my kitchen scales with the rubber strap. No idea how this compares but feels a lot weightier than my Gshock

Unsurprisingly I didn't get 007. Got 311 instead which is my birthday. Just waiting for final invoice.
Just picked up this Mako 2nd hand:
...and got this thrown in as part of the deal, along with the (unused) bracelet for the Orient:
The PVD one is a Cooper Submaster, quartz and cheap but marked as water resistent to 1000ft! Going to give it to my 10yo to go diving in the paddling pool.

Apologies for the very bad pic (yes, my usual old school Blackberry effort)!
My Rolex Date Sub, 16610 has turned up!
Watch seems to be in great shape. The lugs are arguably a little 'round' and over-polished but it arrived with the correct time, so it looks to be running nicely and has all the links (fits my man-sized wrist) and the case, bracelet, crystal and bezel are nigh on perfect!
Will have my Rolex watchmaker give it the once over but I am very happy.
However, with me moving back to the UK in the next couple of weeks and then being jobless, it's likely to go back out of the door fairly quickly

An original Spaceview from 1971. I own two hummers already, but I have wanted a Spaceview for ages.
(sellers photo)
Expect some decent photos of it on a nice leather strap to appear on the wrist check thread in a couple of weeks fingers crossed!
I've been looking at these for the past couple of years and still can't make my mind up if I *need* one or not. I really like them, but already have an Omega Conny "hummer" so felt I couldn't justify another electronic watch.

However, having just seen yours it looks like another search is on.
You're probably aware of THIS SITE, but it's where I usually start the trawl.

Actually no I haven't seen that site. His watches are stunning but they are expensive! Mine was on an ebay auction. The auctions seem to go a bit cheaper than the BINs. Ebay is a treacherous place for Spaceviews. It's full of conversions and frankinwatches. Fingers crossed I get a good one. I did quite a bit of research so I think it's ok.However, having just seen yours it looks like another search is on.
You're probably aware of THIS SITE, but it's where I usually start the trawl.It's coming from the USA so I'm not looking forward to getting the bill for the duty!
I'm not sure if it's been phased properly, but there is an expert and enthusiast who lives in Brighton who does servicing, phasing etc.
Good luck with your search!
Finally succumbed to one of these:
+ an oyster and a mesh bracelet from wjean. Contemplating what mods, I might do (hands and maybe an anti-reflective sapphire), but no rush.
While I'm still looking to get a Tudor Pelagos at some stage in the (hopefully...) not too dim and distant future, I've also got a few far less expensive Seikos which have been catching my attention for a while now. If I find some pennies down the back of the sofa I may have a little frivolous shopping spree later in the year...
