路路LemaniacBought a few weeks a go as a gift for Mrs A, following a recent thread on the "Dynamic" I mentioned I hadn't seen her wearing it much lately. Confession time she has not taken to it 馃榾 so now in my watch box.
Anyone else see the case has a military bearing ?

路Seriously tempting, but probably a bit beyond me at the mo, given my aquisistiveness over the last few months ...
Stunning watches though ... Almost like the perfect mesh of the vintage sm300 and a modern po ...

Good Plan!!! Go for the SM 300 MCA.

路OK, didn't exactly buy, but been away at our favourite Canadian watch maker for a while and so feels like a completely new set of watches:
First off, went away as a 3313B powered Speedmaster. Came back as a 3313C and is now a proper 3 level coaxial with as an added bonus hour and minute hands that match up and aren't 15 mins out as it came from Omega:
Second, a watch that was bought from an ex forum member as serviced, and so badly wasn't we wound up needing a new donor movement. The interesting patina that drove my purchase seems to come from a case that has so little water resistance Al has suggested I don't think about wearing it when it's humid. Question is, do I now hunt down a donor case - any advice? Its fingerprints on the current case, not scratches.
Next a Tudor that needed a service badly, and the repairs to a previous bodged case refinish even worse:
And finally another connie that I was worried wasn't quite right, but has had a full health check:
They all arrived from Canada in less than 18 hours ticking away merrily. Now I have the satisfaction of a display case that looks more balanced and the agony of deciding which watch to wear....
I swear I polished them five minutes before taking the photos. I have no idea how I got so much dust and fingerprints on them in the intervening period.
