Weather is here absolute perfect this time of year

I'm amazed that AP haven't trademarked the hexagonal crown.

I really like that. As I have something pricey incoming, I don't need another lust object. I really don't.

Something to tell the group Don?

Ahem, octagonal!

iirc, AP actually do hold the rights, albeit only when an octagonal bezel specifically features prominent visible screws - ala the 2014 SWI case.

Fair shout.

Incoming.... Something I traded to get a grail that I wanted back. Will be here soon.

My first wrist check of 2021. Stay safe guys!

£160 Rotary with SW200 movement from TK Maxx. Deal of the century! Took off the metal bracelet and put on a 20yr old leather strap that has matured nicely to my wrist!

Feeling decidedly vintage.

As I spoke of what was my grail watch, I thought I would wear it today.

I love them my wife wanted one but her ridiculously tiny wrists make life difficult for her.

The finish reminds me of the 2 Tag Heuers I have, I LOVE it, I first saw it on the Tag Heuers of the mid 80s, I’ve had this since 1987

A watch from them is high up on my list for the near future! They are just stunning.

Same here - completely agree they are stunning!

Made it past ditch day.

Also think these look stunning as well, although for different reasons.

The perfect two watch combination in my view.

Interesting watch.... did you buy it new?

A clever, rather odd (in a nice way) movement.

I was just about to ask what was so interesting about the movement as it is a time only two-hander... then I looked at the dial!!

At a shade under £20k new, there is no blooming way I would pay that for that watch (ask me about the new grail watch...)

It works off rotors apparently. Solid platinum case IIRC (it's a heavy thing) and a dial you can just get lost in. Beautiful box with it as well.

Citizen NY0040 today, I wish it was as well supported for bits as the skx (at least this hasn’t been discontinued). It could do with a new bezel insert, but sort of getting a whole new bezel there is nothing really out there.

Both Very nice ,I have a Tag Heuer 2000 Owned from 1998 its only ever needed batterys plus a single minor repair ,on and off wearing it daily in hands on work still takes it it in stride . quite remarkable considering the environment it used in still .

However might retire it for a Seiko spb 143
