Newmark arrived today. Very pleased with it. Strap is very comfortable. Picture doesn't do it justice.

I put mine straight onto the Cordura strap, I didn't even try the watch on with the Admiralty Grey NATO that it came fitted with!

I was reading the Newmark thread on MWR (as mentioned in andy_s' post) yesterday, I wasn't aware of the issues Ewan had in getting the project off the ground.

Trusty old Fortis Flieger chrono this week. Not worn this watch in about 2 years!

I'm a huge fan of the Fortis pilot watches. Here's mine:

Again it doesn't seem to get much wear these days but I really like the design too much to sell it!

Yeh me too! I used to have the same B-42 but with a white dial. Sold it a few years ago to fund a Tudor Pelagos purchase

Yes. I've just read the MWR thread. In my opinion he has made the right decisions. He has produced an excellent time piece and I sincerely hope he continues forwards from here. My congratulations to him. The cordura is nice!

Swapped to wearing my IWC for a while - at 40.9mm this doesn’t seem too big to me, so I’m hoping a Dornblueth at 42mm will be ok (see other thread!).

First into the stable for 2019 :-)

A new month so another watch. The Pepsi was worn everyday throughout January, let's see if this one will last all Feb.

Explorer II is growing on me. When I bought my 214270 I really didn't like them, but I really quite fancy one now.

I picked this one up nearly 7 years ago, courtesy of our own Dominic Hackett. It doesn't really get worn enough, no idea why, but I've recently turned down two reasonable offers for it as I know I'd miss it. Also, it would also leave a gap in my little collection as it's my only white faced one.

They're still a relatively affordable watch from Rolex, certainly compared to the GMT models.

I've successfully completed my exploring with it today, both the newsagent and the Post Office have been found safe and well.

I am not sure I've seen one of those before... is it rare?

PAM again with a bit of lume.
