Bravo for being different!

Honestly, how on earth does thumbsnap rotate everything? And can someone please explain how I stop it?

Anyway, end of the month so off with the BLNR and on with Hulk.

I appreciate I'm on route to the 'council thread' but I like a cleaner more simple watch, Single dial or chrono but unfortunately the above reminds me of the below



Anyway as you say "Bravo for being different!"

[Mezzanine]

Strong start to the year already



(dead hamster straps aside )

Yes the dial on mine does look a bit busy, but it’s serves a purpose for the true beat seconds, have a look on YouTube of it working if you haven’t seen it already, I find it great to see some of the movement in action but of course tastes differ

Recently picked up this Tag Formula 1 - I’m not a fan of anything too chunky, so went for the midsize (it seems to be a similar size to a 2000 series that I used to have). I wasn’t sure if the blue would be a bit too much, but having had it on my wrist for a few days, I really like it as it’s a bit different / retro :-)

My Zenith showing new year and full moon, sorry about pic quality. Great watch, changed bracelet for blue Hirsch deployant so more comfortable. Unfortunately it took a knock 6 months ago and I lost a chrono push piece. Anyone know how I can source replacement? Thanks and happy 2018.

[MercedesClassic]

Slightly better pic I hope.

Some damn fine pieces have been shown off today, it's been a pleasure to have been part of it so far.

What on earth have you done to that poor Daytona?

The only thing I can think of is that he is allergic to metal because that looks bloody awful!

Don't fret, I didn't throw the bracelet away! I love changing straps on different watches but they can easily go back to original!

It looks like you've recently suffered the loss of a much loved hamster, which you've turned into a watch rug so you can remember him always.

That was exactly what I thought!!! At least he loved the hamster!!

How very dare you!
Wash your hands thoroughly, with carbolic soap, after writing that...
"Barman...! Make it a triple this time. I need to forget something urgently!!"

Arnold & Son make some stonkingly good watches, but size is a bit of an issue.
The first deadbeat I came across was Grönefeld's, which I thought daft, at the time.
Of course, the more you read the more you learn, and understand that it actually served a real purpose, way back in the day.
I believe A&S were the first to revive the complication all these centuries later.

Christmas present to myself last week.

[andy97]

Not a 2018 purchase but I have Just pulled this out of the draw, not been worn for a long time but probably deserves to be.

It was a present to myself in Autumn 1989 - bought as a dress watch in Gibraltar when I was there with the Dartmouth Training Squadron. I thought it was a very special thing at the time!
Slightly tighter than it used to be!!!

Last day of my Christmas break spent with the family today, no idea where we’ll go so Sea Dweller it is...
(Just in case wherever it is, it happens at 4000ft below sea).
