    Sorry - this was third time lucky for me and I had an alarm set, too - but at least it was 1400 for me! It’s a lovely watch and worth hanging out for. Especially at that price point. I did feel like it needed a better leather strap, though - not sure I’ll ever wear it on the bracelet.

    2AD036A5-7440-4F73-AFE1-BA078C9D990E.jpeg Bought in March during the lockdown, I’m finally able to enjoy this Connie bought from @eugeneandresson after sourcing a link to extend the bracelet and having my watchmaker to revive end links and bracelet. Very happy with this!!!

    This just came in, an “or best offer” special. I think we probably all have at least one of these, you make a lowball offer that you don’t think has a chance and BAM, you now own another watch! ;)

    Nice Elgin chrono, gold plating is really solid with just a touch of wear to the pushers. Not polished, solid dial with only one tiny spot of instability, chronos snap back sharply, the Valjoux 7733 is clean and running strong, all in all a solid watch. I’m not really a gold watch guy but at under $300 I’ll find a spot for it. :)

    All three are solid buys. Looks great! The Fortis has always caught my attention. Not a fan of the new designs though. They're trying, I guess

    Forgive me, for I have sinned.
    I didn't really buy this watch, it was gifted to me from my brother -- not enough wrist time for him. A beautiful Smiths Everest PRS-25 40mm. I have lusted over this watch for a while, and he knew it. It wears boldly on the wrist and looks larger than my Speedmaster 145 - but I love it.

    Thanks for looking. Be safe.

    Picked up a GMT Master II 116710LN (Ceramic) a week or so ago. Really happy with this one as my first Rolex.

    Looks big on the wrist. What size is it.

    It's a 40mm. I think my telephoto lense might not be doing it justice in that last photo. On my 6.45-7in wrist it wears great, about the same as my moonwatch which I'd say wears like a 40mm.

    SRP179 “Ice Diver”. The shirt is purely coincidental.
