I've stopped looking at eBay and the sales forum here... Honestly. Well, I'll stop looking. Maybe. Tomorrow.

Who is your strap contact, seem to be happy if your ordering so many??
Got a link (pm if you want)

I've been hunting for a dark-dial companion to my Tangente for so long, and the answer was staring me right in the face (borrowed pic):

Was hoping it would arrive today but guess I will have to wait to see it when I get back from a cross country motorcycle ride (leaving early tomorrow). Think it will make a nice beater and am hoping the bezel can be replaced.

This SKX009 is unbelievably well built for the money and looks to me like a great travel/surf/beating up kinda watch. I think it cost <3% the cost of my previous purchase ( A GMT). Hard to walk past really. The only challenge maybe to explain why exactly I need those other watches. I am working on the rationale for that in my head. How does "because I want to" sound?

Technically, it wasn't "today", but UPS delived my DSOTM this morning. I'm at work so it's still boxed and waiting.
I am very curious to know if this was a good choice of seller and if the watch is in perfect shape (bought new).

The hours until leaving the office are going even slower than usual today; 馃榿

But then again, I waited almost 6 weeks for it, guess a few more hours won't hurt. Oh wait, they do... 馃榿

A couple of new bracelets via the fine offices of my local OB (arranged through this forum). The 1565/976 for my Speedy Racing, and the 1610/930 for my SMPc:

Congrats! Was watching that one from the start. The dial is really hard to capture in a picture but looks great in real life. Here's my PG capped:

Oh hell may as well add it here too. Just arrived after a 9 month wait. RGM 801 COE. I've bought so many nice vintage watches since I placed the order but psyched to finally have it. Even the Italian leather box is amazing. Grand feu dial. Hand built movement.

I'm buying on advice from others; it's keleran straps form eBay, which have been recommended on here numerous times. I needed one or two 16mm straps for the LeCoultre and a 17mm strap for my GF's Seamasters, which are impossible to find in brick and mortar stores here. The rest are 18mm straps which are good for 90% of my collection - variety is nice 馃榾

Really looking forward to seeing them live!
