I do like Seiko, and bonus not having set it for years!

 

I was always a bit sceptical when @Archer was saying just how good these are and how much of a difference you could feel - but he was so right.

Apologies for the doubts Al.

 

Get in line!

 

This arrived today, in anticipation of Mother's Day. I had it shipped to my house to avoid significant sales taxes.


Unfortunately, my better half took delivery.


Fortunately, she is convinced I've bought yet another watch.



I haven't.



Please don't envy my early preparations, it's unbecoming of you.

 

a nice "new" 70s Heuer..... to go to work with the Excelcior Parks........

 

The two upper ones arrived from the watchmaker today. So not really a buy, but now all is sorted out.

In this group shot they are joined by the "cobalt blue" one in the middle, that I bought some months earlier.

Only this one is missing. Stored safely at the Bank right now.

Really happy with them all

 

They're C-licious!

 

Balance jewels for my 1894 Waltham Riverside.

 

An EPSA Super Compressor cased single crown automatic. Never seen another with those features combined. ETA movement will need some TLC, and crystal and case a bit of work as well. Zero brand image made purchase price sympathetic.

 

Not bought today, but finally got around to provide it with a touch of TLC:
A seldom seen Lemania cal 3065 (HW/Central Seconds/Date).

 

My first Speedmaster.

 

Some vintage straps

 

Really nice!

 

Us old retirees can't go splashing the cash and what with another large purchase in the offing just a little fresh Ostrich for this piece.

 

Looks good having a long legged bird on the arm.

 

All organised and with us in around three weeks time, his mother won't let him leave home before then
Young "Buzz" as he will be called and a wee pal for Sandy.

 

Here are the two boys with Sandy about two weeks older than Buzz, is this really a watch forum

 

I'm watching!

 

Congrats Stuart!! I hope Buzz and Sandy will be best of friends...But how will the boss take to having someone to share the spotlight??
