As posted on the “sub £3k GMT” and “Under £200” threads...

I’ve just shelled out the princely sum of £141.19 for a Torgoen T9 Blue GMT on a brown leather strap. They didn’t have the bracelet available, but I’m sure I can get a 22mm bracelet from somewhere. I got an extra 10% off with a voucher code, then they sent me a 50% voucher code for straps, so I got a couple more. The watch is already en route via FedEx from Noo Joisey, with free shipping (but VAT added). It was scheduled to arrive Thursday, but I’m out, so I’ve had to put it back to Friday.

Revue Thommen Airspeed Classic - 12 years on my wrist and just back from a repair / service - I adore this watch



And my latest acquisition - A Seiko Presage Urushi -

Now saved for my birthday in a few weeks' time. Have been wanting a GS (classic Swiss horology but done in Japan) and the Snowflake is rather a classic.

Err, beautiful watch and am sure you will enjoy it (mesmerising seconds hand), but not sure the springdrive movement owes much to classic Swiss horology... which is a good thing!

Cracking under the radar choice.

True about the Spring Drive of course lol. (I'm impressed by the tech.) I was thinking about quality, all done in-house, standard of finishing,etc.

I think you can, I tried to love the 116660 but it just never balanced correctly for me-not sure ho they've solved that issue but they seem to have done it all the same.

It's all about the dial though a you say, well, that and the domed sapphire wink

I borrowed this off a mate who was selling to take pics to show someone who said he was interested, I have never really been a massive fan of the Jubilee bracelet, but with the plain quite liked it. Then after adjusting the bracelet so it was quite loose on I have to say, I really liked it.

I needed a dress watch, my mate started faffing, so I bought it instead.

Wearing a tuxedo for that kind of work is proper posh.
