Jayb do you have a few unique and elaborate watches? I’m sure I’ve seen you sporting other similar and rare watches before?
JAYB loves rare and unusual watches. Whenever we meet he seem to produce something from a maker I've never heard of. That particular watch is superbly built, and gets more attractive the more you look at it.

Bit bold from me, they're not actually on my wrist! Sorry. Picked up The Aqua Terra in Heathrow, it has the old dial which I like and is in the smaller size. The Moonwatch is the Hesalite version, and is just a lovely watch. I can see why so many people have them!

The below was a wedding present from the wife, birth year watch.

Hasn't been right since I got it, finally had it repaired properly, big thanks to Rigga of this parish for sorting it.

Hilariously small compared to my PAM312

Been umming and aarghing on this one for ages after spotting an advert but resistance was futile after viewing and handling yesterday - the light play on the dial is something else.

Year 2000 manufacture date, retailed in HK in 2001, so will set the dual time sub-dial to HK time when I work out how smile

Nice piece! Is that the bracelet it came with originally?

Originally to me yes, originally to the watch, no idea!

It is an Omega strap, beyond that is anyone's guess.

I think that's a particular strength of their models from what I have seen... this one is certainly very solid and showing no signs of it's age/wear

The thing about a Speedy is the more you wear it the more you appreciate just how 'right' they are.

Very nice indeed. I have long wanted a Blancpain. There’s one currently advertised that I need to resist and your post doesn’t help.

That is just stunning. I don’t know much about Rolex; what age / series is that?
