That looks very nice.

Thanks. It should clean up nicely. I much prefer the older ones prior to the power reserve indicator. Hope to get it next week. Once the Customs get their bung.

Seller pics for now but have these two incoming. Black is a 2023 and white is 2022.

New holiday watch ordered.. Always fancied a CWC. Has a sapphire crystal on the entry level-ish one now.

Straps collected and tested for mine and SWMBO from VC.

Especially happy with the sail cloth which was only supplied with the limited edition Everest overseas, it really does work with the rose gold.

The overseas is such a great watch, definitely grail watch for me.

One of my all time favourites too. I do have on order from VC the full gold bracelet, they only ever produced the blue dial 5500V in full gold so for me, having a silver dial full gold will feel more special.

A gold bracelet will be something special from VC - look forward to seeing the pictures. So cheap too!

I had a JLC on a gold bracelet (now sold) and I was always fascinated by seeing and handling something so well engineered in gold.

I agree on it being relatively cheap to add the gold bracelet after the fact, roughly 20Kish, in comparison to buying a new full gold piece from VC is a damn is a damn site more, and who knows how long of a waitlist. Current lead time on a bracelet is 6-12months.

Putting it on full gold will move it over to a grail piece for me and part of the perm collection, along with my Zeitwerk (incoming), and I also have another grail piece on the way, DD40 RG RBR Eisenkiesel dial.

Can we be friends who are close enough to borrow each other’s watches please?

You like cheap Seiko’s, right?!

Funny you bought both.. I have never been able to (Theoretically) decide which one I'd have. I go back and fourth on which one I prefer.

Nice to be able to just buy both! Congrats!

Not sure if talking about the bracelet was a sign but it turned up at my boutique today...



So tomorrow it turns into a bigboy watch and I cannot wait!

I would imagine shipping will be a bh!

And yes I do like Seiko's, mainly the presage models though.

I've been on the fence about both for a long time too, I've been waiting on the local AD for quite a long time to the point I cannot be bothered with their games anymore. With the current market dip, the price differential isn't that bad between retail and grey for some models. Plan is to live with them both for a while, see which I like more

These 2 explorer and the DD I purchased from Nico at Pride & Pinion in Ireland, will be picking them up in Dubai in a few weeks.

So not only do you have possibly my favourite bike on PH, you're also about to take delivery of a Zeitwerk - my all time grail. Jammy sod

I think that will make you the first Zeitwerk owner on here, unless I've missed someone.

Which version did you go for?

Zeitwerk is a few more months away yet as it is the new rose gold 142.031

This is coming direct from the boutique in Bangkok, I went to see them again last month and they told me about 6months to go.

Not at all, my wrist could do with something a little less grey

Would Green be acceptable
