Very nice .. I already have a Trident Orange Crush but I think I'll need to put the bronze on my list too.

Thanks, you should. The only downside is that the bronze isn't a limited edition. I also tried the "Tango" (see post on previous page). Very nice too.

the shirt? About 1975 i reckon

Lol. Mrs bought me two in different colours about 10 years back. Some designer make.

Nice shirts for bumming around in on a Saturday.

I can understand why the Nautilus is a love it or hate it watch. I had an Aquanaut before, and I absolutely loved the 70's feel degrading dial and lumed arabic numbers. I loved it.....and then saw a Nautilus in the flesh. It really is so much more impressive than a photo could ever do it justice. What never really comes across in a photo is how thin it is. It is a stunning piece of engineering, although admittedly the styling is very polarising.

Anyway, a little less controversial today...my wife bought me this for my fortieth....

I hankered after one of these for a while then got the chance at a great price. I didn’t like how it wore on me and also didn’t like the green glass.

Two to show. Firstly a resurrection of the classic watch and steering wheel shot. This is my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT and my Alpina B5 wheel:


Second, I went on holiday to Sri Lanka recently and didn't want to take the Omega. I wanted an "Adventure" watch so I got my old Tissot T-Touch and put a NATO strap on it. I'm really pleased with how it looks, especially with the black/grey matching the carbon fibre effect face. Think this is going back into rotation:

Latest addition has arrived from first batch. Lets see what the colour does over time,,,

Nice, reminds me of my old Glycine Combat Sub...



Left in a hotel in Brugge. Phoned up 5 mins after leaving the car park and they couldn't find it in there. Yeah right!

Nice X-33. I've hummed and hawed over one for years. Despite having 'alternative' Bremont, Breitling Aerospace & Fortis pilot watches I keep coming back to the Omega. Hmmm...

Thought of this thread while wearing my watch in my garage with no natural light. Please do not refer me to the "how to take photos" thread

My dad's old watch today. Seems tiny but also just right somehow. Very legible. Please excuse the paint on my wrist. I've been decorating today.

Another Astronaut watch

What is that please?

Updated the Master Chrono with a new blue croc strap, colour catches the chrono seconds hand. I think it makes it a bit more wearable than on the black croc. How do I get the picture the right way up?!

A Bulova Accutron Astronaut GMT. Issued to X-15 pilots and worn by some of the Mercury Astronauts.

Some nice pieces here: http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24235/

I think the prices are under inflated to gain interest - far too low.

Am liking the Patek but doubt it'll go for 15-20k and the Cosmographs seem to low too.

Good old Traser today. The lume is quite faint now though.
