Found this Lemania Regatta and couldn't resist. I'd be fine with its condition if it was sold in 2023, let alone it being from the 1970s. The lobster bracelet was a nice addition, even though it doesn't fit and I have to find a solution. Now I only need a boat to race.

Nice! I love these flyback regatta timers. You'll just have to buy a second one to snag more lobster links 馃憤

A more common Tissot Navigator model powered by a Lemania 1341 used the exact same case design and bracelet. That could be an easier way to source these links.

True. Aquastar Regate also use the same exact bracelet and they tend to go cheaper.

Gorgeous pick up in excellent condition. Let me just casually put in an early dibs should you decide to let this one go.

Appreciate it. I'll add your name to my excel sheet and you'll be the first to know if I decide to let it go.

Found this nice, affordable desk diver. It's a quartz but it'll do the job when I don't feel like dealing with the weight or bulk of my PO

I've celebrated a couple of 20 year anniversaries recently and wanted to buy a watch to mark the occasions. Ideally with a 20 year inscription of some kind. Am a bit cash strapped at the moment due to some building work so the various Omegas I'd seen were a bit out of reach. Came across this lovely Seiko Lord Matic with a 20 year inscription in Japanese on the caseback. All for less than your average microbrand watch! Has a lovely striped dial which is very subtle but comes out well in the light. Wears really well for a 36mm watch from 1970. Absolutely thrilled.

I still haven鈥檛 found my matte 5513 but this 16570 (1994) fell in my lap at a price I couldn鈥檛 pass up. A watch I鈥檝e always been intrigued by, so when I was offered one very reasonably I said what the heck.

I like it, maybe better than I thought I would. Something about the steel bezel speaks to me, and less instantly recognizable than a GMT Master which is a plus for me personally.

Probably a keeper, but we will see how I feel after 30-60 days in rotation.

Bought last night at auction, should clean up very well.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the 38.5mm Skyfall Aqua Terra. It arrived this morning and it is stunning. Co-axial caliber 8500. Screw down crown, jumping hour time zone function AND a date function (it's usually one or the other, but not both), display back and a great bracelet with a butterfly clasp. The star of the show, though, is the dial. Vertical blue teak deck design with white gold hardware. Wow. Now I understand why this watch is so sought after. It's really beautiful.
