Haven't hit go yet but considering a box and papers pre-owned one of these for under 3K. Considerably less than RRP and a steal compared to the 007 Spectre version (which is ostensibly the same watch, barring a few dial/bezel tweeks. What do you think? I prefer it on the leather or a NATO so the lack of a bracelet doesn't bother me.
A mate has one of these. They look great! Especially on the strap. He wears it as his everyday and it didn’t look out of place at a wedding recently dressed up smart or in the bar at the stag do.

Go for it!
Cheers, will try and try one on this weekend and then hopefully go for it

I would think so - If Emonda ever fancies having his insurance reviewed please PM me - the kids would get some great presents at christmas if we did his cover!

Not quite in the same league as previous posts but I have wanted a Glycine Airman for quite a while - love the novelty of a 24h dial plus I have another Glycine which this will go nicely with.

Completely useless (in all probability) but I love that you can track 3 different time zones at once.

Yeah, that's chuffing remarkable. And that's just the RMs, I can't help but assume there are probably some others in rotation yikes

I do find it quite entertaining you could quite reasonably swap one of those for my house hehe

Congratulations that man, that's bloody good work!

As I'm always saying, I promise I'll get better photos up later. I'm just super super excited about this one. Collected it yesterday and don't intend on taking it off for a few weeks at least.

Congrats to the pair of you on your Pequignet and Credor, respectively.
Every bit as rare as Ed’s RMs here.

Bought a Breitling today (for Christmas). Scored 18% off retail at a high street chain where I typically buy my watches.

My first one. An Avenger Blackbird. It’s Titanium & measures in at a non inconsiderable 48mm.

Wears nicely on my large wrists though!



Roll on 25th December....lol

An unworn Raketa Hau. €31. Curious to see what it looks like in the flesh, and an unusual addition to the fleet!

It's been a while since I looked in the watches section, as i dont want to be tempted to spend excessive amounts of money on more watches, but i noticed this in the "Show us your Seikos" thread and couldn't resist, especially at a very reasonable £95 (plus shipping and duty etc.), it shouldn't break the bank and (from the photos) it certainly looks like a nice bit of 70s retro style. It's a basic Seiko movement inside, but the same as the one in my old monster that's been running and keeping good time no problems for the last 7 years, so should be good enough for a hundred quid!



I think it'll look really nice with a dark green leather strap...
