Fresh from the stores of @mdgrwl ! Off to the jeweler to resize since I can barely be trusted with a thumbtack.
I finally managed to pick up my cool Tissot Antimagnetique from @Blaise today. It looks great in person!
I also received some custom straps made by @Fost by request to replace those from my Dugena bought from @JimJupiter (that was just a little short on my ape wrists...!). This is a great forum when someone not only agrees to make custom straps, they ship them FOC and insist you cannot pay until you receive and are satisfied. A true gentleman! I very much look forward to getting my Dugena back from service and fitting my custom straps!
I am so confused here. I love this watch. I think it looks absolutely stunning. Then I see that it's an assemblage and I feel that my love is wrong. It's like seeing a fashion model and thinking "wow", then being told she's 15.
Well I’ve have circumed and purchased my first Son if Rolex a Tudor Heritage chrono. I’ve been looking at dipping my toes into Tudor’s since Baselworld and have got a pepsi GMT on order but still no dateI saw this chrono model a few months ago in an AD reduced price promotion but when I made my mind up . It had gone but to my surprise visiting my daughter earlier on the week her local AD had it on sale at under £2,500 with the VAT off bargin at just over £2k or $2600 ! It’s a 42mm Cal 2892 black grey chrono, sapphire glass steel folding clasp with a spare fabric strap etc . It comes in a laquerd piano box with a nice leather holder. Beat what Rolex provides hands down.oh and the Crown and pushers look great. One of the reasons for purchasing it was the unusual 45min totaliser , great for footy matches and of course the price . I think it will become one of my every day wears .
Just put a deposit down on the same model, my first modern watch for a very long time. The price and design made it a very easy decision though. More pics when I actually get it!
Good choice while it’s like any other chrono , there are some good differences and it wears great on the wrist
Oh And the lume is vey good even though there isn’t one at the compass points but still woks great in the dark
Will post new pics when it arrives... Have been waiting for this particular example for a long time... The dial is really tropical, almost like Cooper in the sun (more pics will come). The case is not the sharpest but fine. I have a question. I will probably service this in a while. I generally never polish watches, but this time I dont know what to do... Are they really awesome at geting the original edges back, or will it just be worse?
solar powered Citizen ISO diver for an ultimate beater, its going to the Caribbean for a week of testing asap. While I was at the shop my watchmaker and trusted buddy came out with this little jewel, $125 Canadian fully serviced on a new strap... I have no use for it but how the hell do you say no to that?
Really pleased to land this Longines ref 4638, originally invoiced to Ostersetzer (Italy) in 1941. Sharp 37.5mm oversized case with the most classic of dials. Shout out to @Tony C. and @Syrte for their help on this one.
