Incoming… what do you have? (Vol. 3)

[woody33]

Sorry, no idea what happened with the repeat photo's.

I had no intention or thought of buying another watch then saw this on the wrist check thread this afternoon:



A couple of idle clicks later and I saw this:



Which reminded me I've been after a blue-faced watch for a while... oops.

Should be arriving in about a week...

[Greendubber]

I almost did the same.....

They look great for the money.

Congratulations lovely watch, bought my datejust back in the early 80's and still wear it now - think it was £1425 which was six weeks salary,

Thanks. A timeless design I think. Wow, 6 weeks salary; I hadn't stopped to think what this cost me in salary terms... I paid £7800 for it, which I didn't think was too bad for one from a dealer. It was originally sold 10/18 and barely looks worn.

Cheers, I have had my name down for it ever since I saw the photos from Baselworld last year, well happy to finally get it.

Nice Rolex

Terrible!

[Fullook]

Just taken delivery of this:



I wasn't in the market for another watch but saw the black/orange version on here, went looking and really liked the dark blue face and internal bezel combo



Also loving the domed glass:

[ZesPak]

Never seen that before, but that looks stunning!

Edit: WHAT, it's only 250 USD???

[Fullook]

Yep, kind of my reaction too - it's a Seiko automatic movement and very nicely put together. It looks very good on.

Most obvious concession to cost is a non-sapphire glass (apparently its 'sapphire coated') which with the domed shape might make it a bit of a scratch magnet.

I genuinely had no intention of buying but when I saw the price...

The strap's nicer than I thought it would be too - nicely bolstered and comfortable.

[liner33]

I have the RLG odyssey as well , stunning watches and that is ceramic and sapphire .

Agree about the strap in this one it's a nice one and quick release

Those larger Tissot chronographs are very nice things indeed! My wife wears a PRC200, again on leather, which she is rather keen on.

Now, I might have done a bad thing, inspired by the Seiko thread:



Half price from the US.

Mine’s due on Friday, according to their latest email.

Just something casual...

(I'm joking, sadly. This was a sample piece that WoS had in and they messaged me about. My own is now doubt still many many months away. I was quite tempted by the look of a 5205R-010 though...)
