Incoming: What do you have?

[Nolar Dog]

I know this must have been done in the past but let's do it again:

What recent purchases have to got to show or what do you have incoming?
Looking for some inspiration really as well as just being downright nosey (and bored!)

I'll start:

I've finally succumb to Monsterness. Getting quite a few Seikos in the box now and decided it would be wrong not to have an Orange Monster in there.

My first Ollech & Wajs. A "Cougar". It's bead blasted and look stunning in the pics. Looking forward to it in the flesh.

And I couldn't resist this one, although I've always hated them in the past. This one though just shouted out to me! So it's on its way tomorrow. Oh yeah... a Tag F1. A 2008 chrono in black/black rubber.

So that's my lot, what about you?

[ShadownINja]

Nothing. Got a Baby G last week. Just wanted to see what they were like size-wise. Sadly, it doesn't look too bad on my wrist.

[dirtbiker]

Not "incoming" as such but will be picking up an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean when I get back to the UK in July. Bit torn between getting it on the bracelet or the black rubber strap though.

In the meantime I'm keeping my eye open for anything a bit more suitable for wearing to work than my Giez G-Shock but not seen anything I really like yet.

Had two G-Shocks land from America in the last week or so. Neither are the one that I originally set out to buy

Will bump the G-Shock thread later with pictures!

A B&R 'Commando' strap for my 01-97 (Xmas present - don't ask).

Now in the market for a '76 Monacco, and maybe a Navitimer as well.

[physprof]

a week of wearing my new omega railmaster chrono 41mm (pg. 12 wrist check).

liking it but two minor irks - miss date not being on face and face shows fingerprints, marks easier than my other watches.

Why the grumpy face love? Does that mean you're a weedy thing?

As if that matters!

Some tweakery from Yobokies, assuming I make up my mind what I want

That's on my To-Do-List. Mail him and throw some ideas around for a modded 7002 or my black "mini Monster".

Dunno about the weedy thing but I have skinny wrists so Panerais look pretty bad on me. On the plus side, vintage watches work very well.

Still waiting on a Tao Speedmaster homage to turn up, am intrigued to see what its like for the money...So I ordered 3 straps for my lower end watches ( Ingersoll Navigator, Seiko anonymous and Ruhla anitmagnetic)



The straps came from http://www.watch-band-center.com/shop-watchstrap.h... all 3 for 60 c$ delivered (which took less than a week to Toronto)

Am not sure on the Ingersoll strap, but its growing on me.

Buy with the bracelet, and purchase the black rubber afterwards. The bracelets are extremely expensive to buy seperately.

I bought a vintage Oris that is currently being repaired, so that is my incoming.

This one.

Benrus Type 1. Somewhere between Houston and Brighton.

http://cgi.ebay.com/47MM-Men-Black-Dial-Special-9-... arrived this morning, packaging is not great from this lot (just wrapped in 'bubble wrap', no box) but the watch is very nice and doesn't look too big on my wrist.

[Nolar Dog]

Your Parnis looks very nice. Ooo er Matron.

But it does. I might get one of those.

[ShadownINja]

I had a Parnis once. It looked and felt nice. I no longer have it, though.









Norty post office worker opened it and dropped it damaging the mainspring.

Thanks, it is very nice, though the strap is rather long and thick (I'm 6' 1" and 17 stone and I'm on the second hole, could maybe even use the first) and the 'hoops' on the strap are mega.

2 NOS Seiko chrono/alarms for me...

1: A June 2000 7T32-6M80. Spot the Monster bracelet!!


2: A 2003 7T62 in Titanium.


Next up will be a 7A28/38 if I can track down a clean enough one...
