[jackwibble]

Q

Dropped on this beauty on the bay last week the first of a dynasty Speedbird PRS-1 included all papers straps and wooden box.

[Gixer]

Wife got me this for my birthday earlier this month. Been wanting an automatic MotoGP watch for a while.

Couldn't resist... I really did try as well!!



Now having to make some very hard chjoices... soon to be bye bye for the '65 Navitimer, 74 Silverstone, Glashutte Lunar Power Reserve, Doxa 1200T and *sob* my IWC Doppelchronograph!!

What about the nautilus? I can't keep up!

Lovely piece though. I like these. The black dial against the gold case is just stunning.

You sold your Doppel?



I have body parts I'm less fond of than my IW371301.....

Formally Java's? That's drop dead gorgeous! I saw your Navi sold quickly as well.

That's the one, he's dropping it off to me on Monday!!

Having had the money for the Nautilus sitting there buring a hole, I now need to speed-sell some very precious things to make up the gaping hole left in the Nautilus fund...

Here's the thing... there is a 4k hole in the Nautilus fund. That means either the JLC Triple date I bought from you has to go or the Doppel. Talk about hard, hard choices. I wear the JLC most days and that's what has sealed the deal... Doppel isn't up for sale yet but I see absolutely no choice at the moment. I have now run out of watches I am willing to sell

OR I could sell my Blancpain. But TBH I'd rather get rid of both kidneys.

My wife bought me this for my birthday about 24 years ago...



Daren't wear anything else!

[benjj]

Just bought one of these from Creation for £83 delivered.



Wanted a diver style beater for weekends that works, isn't made by chimps and is automatic.

[TimboCD1]

An expensive wander through Royal Exchange last week!
I know I over paid a little but it was brand new & I am weak willed.
Only problem now is deciding on wearing this or my PO Chrono.

Interesting. Would look great on a good quality black croc strap with a gold buckle.

Definitely thinking of some sort of leather strap - they had a solid rose gold Schumacher limited
on brown croc which was absolutely gorgeous but a fair bit more than I wanted to spend, although
a week later I am thinking YOLO.

Save the Doppel, that is a mini-grail. Sell and regret, you have been warned!

Yup, no probs. Bought it as a weekend do-anything watch. Will stick it on an old black nato strap and wear it until it stops working
