And they are already comfortably settled in.
Great watches!

 

After a week of awful late winter weather, my 5513 finally arrived and my watchmaker added the link that came with the watch. I'll hunting another bracelet link however. Damn my big wrists! Anyway it's everything I expected. Very happy.

 

Beautiful!!!!!

 

Boom! Finally! Congrats mate, seems like you need to keep in mind that everytime you're buying a watch with a bracelet, you'll always need some extra links

 

Fun old Zodiac

 

Using Hodinkee strap finder as we speak.

 

That'd be a nice summer watch, love that bezel! Guess you're not consolidating anymore huh

 

Well...I still have to have fun

 

I nailed it with this one

 

Received a couple weeks ago but now under the (cleaning) knife

Before


Mockup



Current level:



Need to get this to my watchmaker for completion

 

Arrived today. Two Lemania picked up on a whim.
Been buying a couple of lemons lately, so great relief to score some good ones again!

 

WoW. ...

I (gulp) love 'em!

All I got today was an Oris.

... the 40mm Divers Sixty-Five Deauville .

This one should be a good summer diver/swimmer, though:


Supposedly, these look even better in the fleshy steel than in pictures...

... do wish it was minus the date, so we shall see!

 

Saturday, I got my first Vulcain:


With barking metal crickets inside!

 

Tudor Pelagos LHD arriving tomorrow

 

Oh, Man!

I can't wait to see this one in the flesh... lunch on me when it comes!

As a guy who always wears his watches on the 'correct' side, I may have to join you for one of these Left Hand Drives...

 

Question for the group:

Should I shell out the $100 for the beautiful light blue/yellow stripe NATO (with special ORIS signed clasp that allows the end to be tucked inside instead of out) seen with this watch in the pic?

Edit: I think I will already answer this for myself: yes. I won't be wearing the bracelet, so a nice-looking waterproof, signed strap is probably worth the $100. I was just a bit surprised how much Topper wanted for it... Haven't found it anywhere else, though!

 

Lemania ref 9803. Cal 1340.
Been hunting a good one with Lemania dial for several years. Most came with Bucherer or other branding.

 

Just had a you in Miami Vice picture in my head as I read the above.

 

Couple unusual straps for fixed lugs ladies watches. That yellowish spotted lizard might look awful to some but I really like it and I'm hoping it will look nice with a peach colored dial like the one I recently got. Now I really hope the dial fits on the watch.
