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 😜

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!

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.

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.
