And a box dial too, congratulations!
Yeah the dials are all over the place, part of the charm of the 5 digit watches, I think there are 4 versions of the "two", this watch is an M series late 2007 with the rectangle/box as you say and then there are loads of little variations across the dials fonts and hour marker lengths through the years.

The reality is that I can’t actually see the detail of the 2 without looking VERY closely but would still appreciate the spodness of it :-)I had no idea until last year that there are a few stick dial early ceramic GMTs in existence
And speaking as a 5 digit Pepsi owner, the Coke is really really nice!

I had a black bezel GMT back in the day but have always liked the black/red bezel, yeah I can't see the difference with my eye either when it comes to the markers but as you say there is a lot to geek about/learn when it comes to the GMT master if you're interested.I had no idea until last year that there are a few stick dial early ceramic GMTs in existence

I’ve just been informed by my wife that she has bought me something! She only told me as I’d see it on the bank statement. It’s something that I had seen, that I really liked and said it would be a lovely thing to have. It’s a Christopher Ward, and I’m a Spurs fan.
It will be my first ‘Swiss’ watch, and the most expensive watch I own when it arrives. Only pain is I have to wait until the end of February for it.

I've been steadily getting more irritated with my smart watch, it needs charging every two days, the notifications always feel like they arrive at the least welcome time, and I just feel like I'm always looking at it for reasons other than to know what time it is.
To this end, I've decided to order a Citizen NY0125-83E. It arrives on Thursday from Amazon, I found one on sale at a reduced price as it had been returned by a previous buyer, so whilst its not technically new, it'll be more than good enough for sitting on my wrist at work, taking the odd knock and scratch whilst still looking like a nice thing.

Picked this up yesterday in an antiques shop. I m looking forward to getting it going and choosing a strap for it. I love the sun bleached / aged bezel.
I have one of those and it's one of the most accurate watches I own. It get's put away in the drawer, then a couple of years later I pull it out and wear it for a weekend and it's only a couple of seconds out! Amazing bit of kit.

That looks cool. Is that rust on the bezel insert? I thought they would be made of Alu. Hopefully the circuit/mechanism still works.eccles said:
