Incoming: what do you have? (part 2)

[Stuart]

Nothing like starting the Incoming: what do you have? thread without a photo of an incoming watch to remind me that it has been ages since I bought anything.

Oh well. Someone want to break the thread cherry, as it were?

A fine new entry. Good work. Bringing it this week if it comes in by then?

The seamaster is staying (phew!) someone contacted me on TZ about my WTB for a lower model Sinn. He has a 103 Ti Ar Diapal on the bracelet from last year, after a price I couldn't refuse I'm still gaining all the technology in the Sinn 756 diapal that I liked but also a Titanium (argon filled) case with exhibition case back and a slightly different design. Deposit left, final payment will be made in a couple of weeks then it will be sent out. I'm not great at being patient!!





If you'd like to read full specs they're here: http://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/103_Ti_DIAPAL.htm

Very excited!

Could you please just stop getting watches I really want myself?! Lovely, look forward to seeing pictures. I really like the 103 in all their varieties.

Off to pick this up shortly. I know B&R don't get a great rep usually but I do like this, a little more understated than their usual square offerings.

Saw this on TZ and thought it was an absolute steal. Lovely looking thing too. How big is it?

[Stuart]

Muska said:

This arrives in the morning and I can't wait!

Lovely. Almost nicer than the 856 Diapal.

Shock horror I've managed to still hold onto my Sinn U1 SDR and have this incoming in about a week:

Could you just STOP, please. You're really not helping matters.

But off to STS first for a service, replacing the original hands and adding an Engrish day wheel.

Very nice, and very rare. I've been watching that on TZ. Congratulations!

[Stuart]

I haven't handled one, but the build quality is meant to be out of this world, all the way through the watch. Much the same is the case with the Spring Drive watches - just beautifully well engineered and finished.

[Stuart]

Well this one came out of the blue, but I'm absolutely bloody about it. Seller's pics for now. Cheers Muska!

[Stuart]

Nor could I, but opportunities like this don't come around very often. Anyone want to buy my kidney, my Stowa MO or my right arm? Something needs to give...

I'd guess that it's to fund his Baby Ploprof build, shame it has to go though

I like to think it's going to a good home though.

As mentioned on the £500 thread, COSC 7750 in a Ti and ceramic case.

Nice!

[Stuart]

Muska said:

Really have to scratch this itch!

Good man. Is that the ceramic face version?

[Stuart]

CardShark said:

Wasn't the MOLE version ceramic? It's identified by a red 12. That may be why it's not on Stowa's site.

Yep, that's correct. Had forgotten about the red 12.

Well, went watch shopping with the Mrs today for my impending 30th, had a great time and she's very understanding over my love of watches.

really took my time and finally made a decision and payed the deposit today!! Watch will come in some time later this week to pick up and then it's being put away till my birthday on the 1st December, the wait will be hard! I'll leave you to guess if you like for now but I'll no doubt do a nice reveal when the time comes! I am made up though!

What have I bought...?!

I sincerely hope that the itch that you failed to deal with when you missed that Speedie has been well and truly itched.

Should have this for early next week and am going to try it out as a daily wearer.

I really love these. Congrats. So is that the same sized case as the 856 et al?

[Stuart]

CardShark said:

talking of Stowas I was surprised that it took a while for your MO to sell!

Me too. Has the market for these softened?

[Stuart]

I had a look at one of those and almost ordered it, but wasn't sure about the size. In the end I went for a 757 UTC, which i currently on route to me. I guess then with two decent watches I might have officially started a "collection"

The definition of a collector is that the number of watches you currently own is n-1, where n is the optimum number of watches to own. Another way of writing the equation is s-1, where s is the number of watches owned which would result in separation from your partner.

Does that describe you? If so, welcome to the club.
