There're too many classy watches on this thread so far, allow me to lower the tone:



A Christmas present in light of buying myself an M4 a couple of months earlier. I'm actually really quite fond of it because I already own my grail watch in an IWC Portuguese and this has the same hand set and numerals. Take the BMW logo off and change the quartz movement for a mechanical one and I'd end up wearing it a lot smile

Suppose it’s up to me to drastically lower the quality average… sold my Saturn and bought this in London before Christmas

Superb taste in car and watch!

Mine is a W126 300SE.
1992 registered on a K plate. Probably one of the last registered as production stopped 1991.
Totally original.


It's a one owner car from new out in Kent. Acquired it 3 years ago from the original owner and have been enjoying it since.

I’ve had this for 22 years now. First “proper” watch for me. Don’t wear it often tough. Wasn’t pleased with a service I had done by Omega 2 years ago put it in a drawer and didn’t put it on since then. And now the warranty has come to an end I start wearing it again and it simply isn’t right…

Beautiful watch tough!

That is lovely! What is it? Is it a mod, or does it come from Seiko like this?

Seiko Samurai Dawn Grey, a Europe-only Limited Edition.

Nice things. I had one.

I sent off my 2016 blue Seamaster for a full service and polish as it has been my daily for a few years so was pretty scratched up. It should come back looking like new and I can’t wait. Fingers crossed the service all goes OK.

Need a new strap for the Jaquet Droz.

Any ideas for a discrete dressy strap that’s not black or navy alligator/calf?

I had no intention of getting another watch but this one came up in the H Samuel sale with a decent discount so I ended up buying it, not the same quality as my PRX but I wanted one with a black dial to accompany the blue dial Tissot and it was at a price I felt I couldn't pass up.

I hate to be a pedant…

If there is a moderator watching, any chance you could capitalise the thread title to ‘Wrist Check 2024’ as the lower case presentation in the main thread overview makes my teeth itch?

Sorry for being petty. boxedin
