Wrist Check - 2018

[LordGrover]

I think the Rose BB looks a little more interesting than the current model. Not just the logo, but the curved text stands out. Thinner too, isn't it?

ETA. Rather, the current one is thicker, to take the new in-house movement with 70hr reserve.

My daily, absolutely love this watch, for me its the right weight, feels like good quality and it happily takes a beating without any issues.

Correct, the new one is ever so slightly thicker. Really disappointed they started using the shield in the new one.

I bought this last week, it needed an additional link but it's finally on the wrist.

That would annoy me, the bezel marker isn't aligned with 12 properly.
Looks like it sits between 59 and 60 minutes.

[LordGrover]

120 click bezel isn't it?

May explain it, still not lined up though.

This arrived today. I'm happy with it, and will expect it to darken over the coming months.

I love this. I was going to buy a Tudor Black Bay Bronze but I think it would be a little too big for my wrist, I might give one of these a go.

Interestingly, I just got this - looks like they're now offering both treatments...

Long term Grail watch obtained,

Fits beautifully and whilst a heavy watch it isn't noticeably so once on the wrist for a few seconds

The Patek and both the FF’s are outstanding.

Of course I'm wearing my latest acquisition the last few days.

Too many watches Andy - that's your problem.

I know.

A couple of years ago I thought I had this obsession under control, but I've relapsed badly.

I do actually follow your watch posts (I particularly like your unique photo style) - and can confirm, officially, you have relapsed.

first post on the watches part of PH, so go easy on me folks...

I know its nowhere as glamorous as some of the fantastic watches on here but I am really pleased with this - I have never had more than a 'beater' watch so to have something a little bit nicer is a real treat..always wanted a 'bullhead' style but the crazy prices for vintage ones meant they were out of my reach.

A nice 'rallye' style strap and a tan leather strap are on their way so that I have some options on straps for it - the colour of the main dial is wonderful and changes with different light on it. Seiko movement so should be nice and reliable.

I bought a Stuckx when they first launched. Mine was the champagne dial. A nice looking thing, with an interesting movement. I wear my watches fairly loose, and the shape of the case kept causing it to spin round my wrist, so I could never read the time...
