I just won this on auction. Never seen a green dialed before. I quite like it!

I have to admit, despite my willpower, I bought a new collectible watch this week.
It is a blue dial with white subdials 2005 Gemini IV Anniversary limited edition Speedmaster Professional.

It was one of my "top 3" desired watches of all time, and I just couldn't resist it.

Nice Time Piece, while the Tokyo 2020 LE also have a blue reverse-panda which is highly similar to Genimi, shame on Omega

Picked this up from a popular auction website recently. It's a Huntana. I've tried to research the brand but have come up with very little information. Does anyone know anything about these? Tidy case, dial needs a clean. I like the look of it. I'm trying to decide whether to spend money on it and knowing a bit more about the brand would help. Thank you.

(I changed the strap before taking the wrist shot, if anyone is wondering about the different colours).

Think we have concluded on its originality. But more info/pictures will certainly come once I have it.

Seamaster 300 14755-61 just arrived from Italy....next job is selecting the right strap/bracelet... thinking maybe Milanese-type mesh if can find something period...

Cool piece! Not knowing the 300 all that well, what is this bezel? Half bakelite half metal?

I picked this Sinn EZM UX up today from auction - stuck in a low ball bid thinking it would never come off but ... sometimes you win! The condition report mentioned that the case would need to be refilled with oil by Sinn, so it will shortly be off to Germany for a service - you can see the low level in this photo. Given the apparently generally perfect condition, I wonder if someone at the auction house tried to open it not realising it was filled with oil ... of course I could be in for a nasty shock from Sinn about all the things wrong with it.

If this watch is typical of Sinn's quality, I am about to become a Sinn fan.

Received this Christopher Ward C65 Trident Vintage couple of days ago. My first Diver watch. In a general way i like retro dive.

New income from London - Seamaster Chronometer 168.024

Lugs are not sharp like a knife but in acceptable condition. The caseback has a redpointed stripe which I will try to remove somehow.

New to me and just back from service:

I just couldn’t help myself love I just had to have it ... popped into my local Seiko dealers earlier this afternoon to check out the Seiko “Captain Willard “ Prospex models & was just blown away by the SPB153 in drab green , great colour , great dial , great bezel action , great size & great fit . So overall I think it’s a great watch and well worth checking out in the flesh if you can . The 15% off the ticket price also helped sweeten the deal too ...
