Wrist Check 2014

[andy tims]

My 16600 on a newly acquired (pre-owned - I'm not that silly) Rubber B strap.

The strap itself is a beautifully made piece of kit, that doesn't seem to pick up lint, but the RRP is too high for me.

Any chance of a wrist shot? I have always loved the look of these.

Sorry but I don't have a wrist shot.

Not really a poster in these parts but never to late to start:

ETA - if I had the ££, this, in steel colour (platinum) would be the one.... http://www.ballwatch.com/html5/index.php?option=co...

I've long fancied one of these straps for my Sub.

Out of interest have you fitted the Rolex clasp or are you using a buckle?

Lovely watch but lung cancer literature in the background is a bit weird

There's a medical theme going on, so it's a pass from me

I just deleted that in case I was being insensitive

I'd prepared a response along the lines that the Ferrari-related watch in front of the Ferrari dash was OK and the bankers have posted in front of their Cityscapes. After all the job is about trying to help people with, amongst other things lung disease including cancer!

If I was a cardiologist with a large independent practice I'd be able to justify spending 20x as much on the very nice, simple, one button, one crown wheel Ball Dr's Chronograph in the same colour (only 99 made, in Pt).

I didn't know it was a doctors/medical watch so I missed the point sorry

Nice van and watch pic, I like you.

Mondays are usually fairly average - yesterday was an exception.

Surprise birthday present - 1968 SM300, authenticated, restored and serviced by Omega.

Something curious turned up in the post this morning...



Actually really like it! A very copper-rich bronze which should develop a lovely patina. Ordered from Hong Kong on 24 April and deliverd to me this morning - fantastci system with emails and tracking all the way. What a great company! Took it off the leather and put it on the canvas; it's huge but I wanted that 'Captain Nemo' look for a bronze watch so it fits the bill.

My enjoyment of boutique/microbrands continues

Very Nice. Did you get to keep the bits they've replaced?

FWIW, I wear mine on an Isofrane which, IMHO, is much more comfortable than the steel bracelet (the end pieces of which also scratch the bottom of the lugs).
