Arrived this morning, and promptly separated from its wrist cheese encrusted flexi.

30mm of radium illuminated goodness.

There we have it, folks.
17.5 minutes to 4, is time for a pint.

Or it could just be the time where none of the text on the dial is obscured by the hands. 😉

What is the case size of the Hamilton? Hamilton made a very similar watch to the Rodney, but having a different size case.

@allwoundup , are you thinking of the Reardon CLD? I have read it is 30mm.

This one.
This forum is bad for my bank account
Which is why Mrs S finally put her foot down! 😗 I’m slowly realizing she has a point.

Agreed but nice purchase

Thanks! It was a tough decision, between black and white dials... my AD had both in stock, until my wife casually looked at them and said “the white looks like my dad’s watch (Timex).”

Recently picked up a sandwich.

Love the Speedmaster. I noticed a sales person wearing it at an Omega boutique. Like all watches it looked much bigger at a distance. It has a very classic elegant look, love the discreet bezel and black white contrast.

First modern watch purchase in a dog's age. It overcame all of my deep-seated prejudice against faux-vintage. After a couple of weeks, I remain very impressed.

A couple of lucky finds... Rolex 6636/80 and 7836/380 bracelets.



Hat tip to @southtexas for help authenticating them 👍

And now I just need to find a pair of suitable watches, I was thinking perhaps a 5512 Submariner and a 1675 GMT... are those affordable these days ? 😉

One of my absolute favorite modern watches, it's just a rotating bezel shy of perfection. Welcome to the club 😁 👍

This arrived yesterday.
I was meaning to day this for quite some time: your vintage Seiko collection is so sweet!
