PMSL 
My MB III has the orange body and is currently on it's black rubber strap. I'll post another picture when I put it on it's black leather strap with the white stitching.
My gift was a rather nice luggage tag in light brown soft leather. Nothing too special but it is nice to the touch and has the Bremont name embossed into it.
On the subject of straps I think I'll be buying a few..........especially as Samantha in the Royal Exchange Boutique is a bit of a sort

She wore it with the "Temple Island" rubber strap on holiday but it's now on the black leather, my least favourite to wear (when it was mine) was the leather "Hambledon" strap!
You may want to take a trip to the Mayfair shop, Anna is also very helpful! :-)

Well, I made a rookie mistake in not doing my homework properly. I'd been looking at the Traser range and everything I looked at had at least a water resistance rating of 200m so I assumed that was their minimum. Wrong - the watch above only has a splash rating of 30m and I don't want a watch that I have to keep taking off when I have a shower, go for a swim etc... So I went back and swapped it out for it's bigger brother on a NATO Strap.
The lume on these things is mega! So, so easy to read at night. Even when the light just drops a bit.
I wouldn't touch a watch company that produces, what appears to be a dive watch, with a waterproof depth of 30m. What a joke. The lume on these things is mega! So, so easy to read at night. Even when the light just drops a bit.

Cheap(ish) 1980s vintagey chrono for knocking about in the car and whatnot. Freshly serviced and with 'vintage' lume added to it, should receive it today...
Not sure about the bracelet but I like the vitage look!
Thougth you had stopped buying for a while?
Not sure whether I'll be able to keep it yet... But if my Doppel goes, this will fill in.
Edited to add - it didn't cost a great deal for what is actually a very nice watch with a fresh service and in a lovely 'vintage' size and unique refinished lume. All my vintage chronos are gone now but it's nice to have something of a lesser value that I wouldn't cry about if I banged it on the car door. Besides... I think it's pretty cool and I do like Sinn stuff!

The one pictured has a 200m rating but none that I have spoken of have been remotely marketed as dive watches.
Pardon? 
Did you get that over here? I have a code blue which used to be my daily beater and needs a new battery. Would rather get that done by someone that reseals it properly..

Yeah - got it at Tactical Trading next to the Harley showroom on SZR. I believe they are now the main importer for them.
We need a beer soon mate.

Y'know, that doesn't look all that dissimilar to a Heuer Bund..........I recall there was a chap on here who sold one recently.Asterix said:
Oopsie! Deleted the other two posts now.

Thanks, will take a wander over there one lunchtime when I'm in the city. Looks like they have some interesting kit.. Yeah - got it at Tactical Trading next to the Harley showroom on SZR. I believe they are now the main importer for them.

Beers soon would be good. Temporarily given up forever due to BBC induced Hoegaarden poisoning, but I should be ok by the weekend..
Just ordered my second Steinhart.
This time, an Ocean One Green

It might even replace my Monster as my daily.
