I typically wear one of my Citizens or my MoonSwatch to work however, I recently discovered the Omega Railmaster and have been considering one. This made me feel like I was neglecting my Seamaster and it deserved some time out in the open again

I was going to suggest that the 2nd image had rather a high ISO for one of your shots Andy - very glad you've re-done that one. biggrin

Also, please stop taking pictures of tasty Sinns, my car needs new tyres.

How do I score for my entry of "Dive watch + Porsche wheel" for the ROLEX Wrist Check thread?



I fitted a new Strapcode bracelet yesterday for 30% of the cost of the watch and the stories are true about how nice they are. It's averaged -2 secs a day for the last month which I'm very happy with.

Pelagos on Crafter Blue strap. Not a perfect match to the Tudor blue But close enough. I prefer it with the curved ends over the factory rubber strap that uses end links.

Have a good weekend!

Fab!

Bought this so many years ago. It came with a black strap, and I've only ever really worn it when the dress code has been black tie. Getting it out again reminded me how much I love it, so tried it with a spare brown strap that I have that isn't quite the right size.

I've decided it looks good on the brown strap so I've ordered one the right size, and this might get some more wear!
That's very nice! Can I ask, what are peoples opinion in general on Montblanc watches? Are they nicely finished?
Been looking at these on and off for a month or 2.

I bought my wife a Motblanc Boheme for our 10 year (actually two of them but one was stolen before I got to give it to her!). It feels like a very high quality object to me with really nice finishing - lovely blue on the hands and the patterned dial is super crisp. Finding the date adjust detente is a little fiddly but it's only 30mm so it's a tiny thing and the fault could be my sausage fingers.
I concur. Very high quality in the finish, feel and detail. That Star also has a clear back so the beautiful movement is visible. On the subject of movement, it has a really distinct feeling to it, and I absolutely love that watch.

I think Montblanc watches offer exceptional value for money. Understated class. I also have a beautiful Montblanc Heritage which I bought because the Moon Complication leapt out at me and then when I started looking up close there were just so many other little details that I love (like the date hand end that moves around the outside of the dial being red). It's wonderfully thin and lightweight that its supremely comfortable to wear.

Just talking about it, I think I am going to bring it out and pop it into the watch box. I love that watch. I'll post a photo when I next have it on.
Thanks for your comments, definately going to try one on in the next week or two.

Fresh in, my seventh Sinn but first U1. Will it kick my blue Pelagos out of bed, I wonder?
