Picked up this recently (brand new, unworn). Having looked at them on and off for over 3 years, I finally pulled the pin and picked up one of the earlier editions (ETA movement, no ugly riveted bracelet).

Pretty pleased with it. It doesn't have the quality feel of my Rolex Sub ND or Explorer II, but then again from a price point, the Tudor is great.

At the price you can pick these up for nearly new/used unworn there's a lot to like about them, not least the way they look.

My own pics of the 3538 that landed yesterday









Very pleased with this one.

The condition is amazing for an 8 year old watch. The previous owner said it had about 30 days of wear since new.

^^^ really like that Andy, I think that the older Aquatimers are so much better than their more recent equivalents.

Just done a deal for both(!) of these, Sinn's Mocha 556i and Damasko's DA44 on the in-house bracelet. It was the dial on the Sinn with its applied markers, no date, minimal script and the colour that caught my attention and I've wanted to try Damasko's bracelet ever since they launched it.

Seller's pics for now.






My 4th Sinn and 3rd Damasko.

^^^^^ Result!

Cheers

Sacrifices will be made to make way for them though I think they'll be worth it. In all honesty these 2 plus a G-Shock would cover my lifestyle requirements, can't see myself going down to 3 just yet though

Liking that! I'm looking out for a Sinn 556i at the moment. Damasko fan as well, currently own a DA36.

Well, after a while of hunting (3 years), and then a long delivery (6 months), I've finally taken posession of a "birth year" watch. Time to get it tucked up till my 40th in May.

If you can ignore the "your call is important to us" hold music this short video shows the watch off well. The 556/i is a bit of a classic, I prefer the "i" variant myself though it's a close call.

I can't figure out how these larger oysters, particularly the ones with fluted bezels look so wrong in pictures but so good in the flesh. Must be being used to seeing the older style more often I suppose? Really nice colour scheme that one too.

Couldn't agree more! My photo skills are very limited but it looks so much nicer in person!

I've just placed an order for this to use as a daily so I can save the Seamaster for nicer occasions.

Just ordered to use out on the boat this summer and maybe for holidays too. Can't wait to get it as never actually tried one on before!

Landed today purchased off Andy Tims

Bummer. I fancied this MB when it was advertised on TZ-UK a few months ago...

[Wills2]

Done a deal on a Omega PO with ceramic dial and bezel, I wanted something sporty for the weekend, pick it up on Wednesday:

This landed today. Bought from the bay. Yes the case is heavily polished, the second hand is wrong (I think) and the dial has been cleaned but it's a mid 40s honeycomb dial 2505 which at 38mm wears beautifully. I didn't overpay either...



Seller's pic.

[Vvroom]

For those, like me, who had never come across the 2505 I attach a photo for size comparison purposes. The JLC next door but one to the omega is 37mm.

Absolute dream come true



Should have it Saturday.
