Hopefully should arrive early Apr.

This has arrived at my parent's house. Just have the long wait till Friday before I get my mitts on it.

My first 'expensive' watch*

You ordered that from the place in Holland, didn't you?

I ordered a TW Steel from there and had it sent to my wife's office, she ate the sweets!

This is something completely different. A pink Slava with a 2428 movement made for the Italian market. Late 1980's bought as new old stock and on a black canvas strap. My other watches are not pink ! But I do like this for a change.

If it was made for the Italian market, why does the day wheel have ЧТВ?

Not quite Holland, it's from a shop called Urhen 2000 in Germany.

I can recommend their services, I had an issue with the payment which was resolved quickly with a phone call from them. Very quick delivery too.

Dornbluth and Sohn Cal 99.0 in process of being made. Arriving in May. Waited since May 2014 so on last mile now. Just chose the engraving for the back of the watch case ('May 2015' so as to not personalise too much). Can't wait!

Here it is.... http://www.dornblueth.com/flash.php?p=collection&a...

Beautiful watch (IMO obv!)

Finally got round to getting one of these.. Had been waiting on the right deal and it surfaced yesterday. The Euro certainly helped.



Pic shamelessly stolen from TZ, though I also got the watch from there, but got both the leather and metal strap in the deal. Should be here by the weekend. Very happy.

My Seiko buying spree continues, GMT, AR coated sapphire and a ceramic bezel. Okay it's quartz but it's also £300.

Has a touch of the Grand Seiko GMTs about it, very nice.


Lewis - That Octa...

[TheJimi]

That's exactly what I thought too.

Saw the picture and instantly thought "Grand Seiko"

Farkin' 'ell, nice one - always had the centigraphe pegged as an eventual high end proposition; I think he does great work.

Same here. And seeing as a Grand Seiko GMT is on my want-list but a bit out of budget at the moment, this might make the perfect stop-gap. Looks lovely.

It has arrived:

That's lovely. My birthday present for this year is sorted.

I got it for £304 from expresswatches.co.uk, out of stock for now but it looks like they are getting more soon.

[poocherama]

12 weeks later the JLC has returned looking like new (long may it continue!) It's joined, thanks to Hackett Watches, by a sister chrono. Not a bad day so far.

Initial impression of the Daytona is it's flashier than I thought It'd be. However a very nice watch.
