Well I've ordered the Steinhart Ocean Forty-Four so expect some pics of it soon!

You will NOT be disappointed!

I almost bought the ocean-1 green several times, but even at 42mm it was too big for my pathetic wrists (now - and constantly - sporting the Chr. Ward C60 mentioned above).

Steinhart are very well respected around these parts, and bang for buck are very good quality. Twiddling thumbs until pics arrive!

Thank you!

I'm very excited. I wanted a watch that I liked but also a brand that was respected. I appreciate homages aren't to everyone's taste however.

They ere £350 from Italian suppliers a few years ago.

I'll just ask Mrs T6 to release the funds

Were, but I cant find them for anything close to that now. It was a Goldeneye on a leather strap that I had seen. Bought a Combat recently but I still want a Sub.

I've got into Glycine again recently - the stealth Incursore under 500 on Amazon will probably be my next purchase.

OP, sorry, but this would have been my choice: http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/mondia/watches/diver...

Don't be sorry! We all have slightly different tastes even though we have a common interest! Everything I've seen is lovely and I'm sure if of been happy with any of them but I'm very pleased with what I have chosen!

Finally got my email with the tracking details! The watch should be delivered on Tuesday but will be delivered to my home address and I'll be at work (put my home address as it stated 2-3 days delivery and I've been home this last week). Fingers crossed I can pick it up from somewhere on Wednesday unless they deliver it to a neighbour.

Whilst at Bluewater yesterday I saw a Deep Sea in the Watch Finders window, I'm even more excited for this to come now!!

[SteveS Cup]

Watched arrived today! Very very happy. I'll try to upload pics tomorrow.

I've already had links taken out and it's on the wrist!

I've now ordered an ocean one vintage red with a nato strap and ceramic bezel so I can upgrade the standard one

Thanks OP!

[SteveS Cup]

Nice one!

I've been really enjoying my purchase. Unfortunately one of the bars in the strap snapped leaving the threaded part in the strap. It's now in the jewellers having that bit drilled out.

Please don't post stuff like that.

I must admit, I can't wait to get it!
