·Just arrived. I know I'm not very focused about what I buy and I'm probably spending too much on cheap watches when I should be on more expensive pieces, but this...
When researching the back of the drawer Yeoman handwinder that had been my grandfather's I came across this on a buy it now. I have a soft spot for gold watches but only have one capped and one GP so the fact that this was 9ct appealed. I also love the dial and the smooth back, and the serrated edge, and swinging lugs, and the syringe hands, and, well, I kept coming back to it, loving it, and thinking it's probably a bad purchase. In the end I thought I'd make what I consider was a silly offer, a little over half the asking price. I paid £200. Maybe that's still too much for what is a pretty ordinary watch. On the other hand, It's pretty old, it's gold and while it's a tad small for my wrist (maybe I'll give it to Mrs Engee) I think it's gorgeous.
I am slightly concerned about the colouring of the crown - surely if it was solid gold it would not be two tone?

·I drank the Kool-aid yesterday and it arrived today. The Seiko Arnie SNJ025. It’s a large watch for sure, about the largest I can go, but wears really well (consistent with all the reviews). It feels small than the Seiko SRP that I had some time back. It put an instant smile on my face when I opened it. It really is veeeeeery very cool. If you have been thinking about this watch but are worried about the size, I would say “go for it”.

Can the pushers be used "at depth"?

·I picked this up at a flea market because it says Turler on the dial and I have a soft spot for watches made for them.
I know nothing about it other than it's a pendant watch. I don't recognize the movement and there's nothing on the dial other than Turler and Swiss Made.
Please, if anyone can shed some light on this piece it would be much appreciated.

No, they can’t. So it is not a diver chronograph. For diving it is just a normal watch with a diving bezel. Stopwatch, local time zone and alarm is on the small display and via the pushers, so it’s for onshore only 😀

·Hi,
I don’t usually pay much attention to pocket watches ,then this piece turned up and just couldn’t resist it
Nice original box and papers as an added bonus

·Good Afternoon.... I picked this up today had no intention of buying a watch today but it was on sale from £700.00 to £199.00 so thought why not it’s very classic and classy for the money.....and a good maker.

·I was so sure my gmt II LN 16710 was going to be the last watch I ever buy, but in the last couple of years it has become so ridiculuosly expensive, that I honestly did not enjoy wearing it like all the years before, free of funny feelings. At that time, people looked at me when talking to me, lately I have come to miss that. So I decided to find the perfect substitute. After 1 1/2 years of watch hunting homework, this and only this is the quintessential watch for me:
