Just pick up my SpeedyTuesday Ultraman today 😎😎

I saw this VC catalogue at the AD where I picked up my Ultraman. Since I also own a Patrimony, I asked if I can take one. It's pretty amazing catalogue! I wonder if Patek also print their catalogue as well.

Just received this Ming 17.01 with anthracite Dial a few days ago.
1st generation piece from Ming.watch #149/150 limited.
Really cool watch company and already up for a GPHG award for their new Ming 19.01, after only being established for a year.

I’ve wondered into the independent watchmakers arena.
What do you think?

How are the hands in real life? It looks..plasticky?
Oops...apologies for the poor lighting. Yes, definitely metal, painted with Matt Superluminova, to match a ‘fine texture look’ to match the hour markers/ring.

Nothing fancy..but this hunk of steel turned up today..The final piece in my small "Orator-through-the-decades" collection and the only one I have with this day/date configuration. Not a style or an era that is everybody's cup of tea. Those ubiquitous black hands do annoy a wee bit... however It's in great nick ...

Bought this one from Alex ( Vision Vintage Watches ) recently.



I am (partially) aware of his history here, nevertheless I think it’s fair to share my own feedback since it's been the very first time I dealt with this dealer and honestly I am more than happy about the overall experience. Delivered as described, very good communication all along, I can only recommend.

Nice to hear!
And lovely watch! Congrats! 😀
Recently bought from the same guy and even though it was not terrible, I will think twice before doing it again...
Lot of small things that was not as described.

Have a look at some of his eBay auctions - or more precisely, have a look at some of the bidding history on the items he sells...
Also, he was banned here for some dodgy practises.

Wouldn't touch him with a ten feet pole and falls into the same category as our mate from Austria and the paperclip bandit. Pollutes the hobby.

Ok, that’s your opinion mate, I don’t agree tho , as I said have done a tons of deals with him never had any problems..
A lot of dealers have bad deals and can be “bullshited” with lies even if they haven’t done anything wrong,
I can tell you about every deal that he made just can tell you about my experience!

Is this what you suspect is happening here?

Who's the chap from Australia? Obviously I know who Alex and Mr Paperclip are (and not forgetting the lad who knew zero about vintage watches but set up a huge website to sell his portfolio)

Hard to square your comments with the bolded part. "Sharing your experience" and claiming he is "legit and 100% trustworthy" are not the same thing. If you think he is 100% trustworthy, logically you'd believe someone who claims impropriety is... Lying.(?)

Don’t really need to explain myself , that’s my experience and my conclusion, can’t talk for anyone else...

Found this today after a long dry streak. A Vanburen cushion case from the 30's. Nothing valuable or fancy. But, it scratched the itch for today and over 5 hours in, it is keeping perfect time. The story of the purchase is on WRUW Today thread.

I’ve always wanted to own one of the Type 20 or 21 references.
