    This has been a long search for me, but I finally found one in decent condition.

    I just bought this from my local watch shop, complete set. It looks brand new, and when I decoded it it turns out to be from 2007. I was really surprised, it must not have been worn often. I'm wearing it as my new daily, which probably means its been worn longer (a week now) than during the preceding thirteen years. ;)

    Finally bought the second watch for my wife. Was a bit surprised at all when she shown her interest in a white dial watchs, as all the time she used to wear her vintage JLC.
    We started our search with the white dial Cartier watches. After 1 hour looking through CH24 dealers she spotted NOS white dial watch, and it was not the Cartier. :)

    It took just 2 days till watch arrive and fullfill OUR watch collection. And of course few pics follow....

    Hi all, this is my latest every day driver. Came with the factory leather strap but I put it on this NATO for the hot weather. Very comfortable.

    I've had my eye open for one of these. Needs some TLC and a better sweep hand, but there's a lot to like about it. Many thanks to @Larry S for his help in vetting it.

    Very happy to have my first Hamilton W10, sourced out of Germany, near the Bergen British garrison. Case has seen some honest wear, love the dial and hands. Just ordered a NATO to replace the original for day to day wear. I’m going to enjoy this one.

    I bought this about 3 hours ago. I’m thrilled so far. It’s been stuck in my head for a week and I finally gave in. It’s a
    Grand Seiko SBGJ237 GMT.
