    nice piece. From what I know most cosmics are in the 35-36mm range the cosmic 2000 is 38mm.

    The my thumb rides the slide on the left side so it's nice and clear. However i also
    have the original none "s" ppk and it doesn't have a beaver tail. So the slide bites my hand.

    This Tissot today, I'll be interested to get it in my hands and find out a little more, I may even have just the right strap waiting for it.

    Today I bought the new Tudor Black Bay 36mm, which I sort of knew I was destined to buy since it was announced earlier in the year. It comes either with a thick tan leather strap or the bracelet. Both options, I believe, include the camouflage nylon strap.

    While in the store (Atelier Swiss Fine Timing, on N. Michigan Ave.), and chatting with the Daniel, the manager, he let slip that there still was one (of the ten produced) of the special edition Laurent Ferrier sector dial watches that was specially made for Atelier...It was in the vault downstairs, as the customer who bought it hadn't yet picked it up. So with little fanfare he had it brought upstairs for me to see...Wonderful, wonderful watch (steel, micro-rotor automatic movement), very pricey (42K). At 41mm it was nearly the same size (and shape) as the PAM 338 which I came in wearing.

    I agree. That's next on my list. Unless something else pops up first.

    Bought an 18K Rose Gold Excelsior Park EP4 today. Don´t think I have seen too many of these around.
    36mm case and fancy (albeit a tad polished?) lugs.

    Man, I love the look of the brass showing through the bezel plating.

    They don't come as cheap as they used to....... But also very seldom in this condition. Rare date version with sub sec.

    There isn't much love for the Mk40, but I think they are kind of funky

    Estate sale good deal. Doesn't seem to be any battery leak. Set the time and it's running nicely - not a lot of info on this particular dial/look from what I could find. Any ideas? Stuck a strap on it .. image.jpeg

    Found this lovely box waiting for me at the post office!
    The beautiful UG inside was offered to me by one of OF distinguished members, and I was more than happy to acquire it. Thank you, Sir!
