That is a worthy addition to any collection.

Well wear.

Full review in progress?

I bought that watch to sell, hence the quick adverts listing. But I wore it for 2 weeks, so got the feel for it. I love the finish on it, I love being able to wind manually too. But I definitely don't like the date dial, its just that bit awkward to read. And before I bought it I thought a power reserve would be handy, but with manual wind too you definitely don't need it.

I'm a simple man, I like a simple watch. Date window and 3 hands. Not a separate second hand dial. I think the aim is going to be a cocktail time or something with "presage" written on it. But moving house in January, hard to convince the wife that spending €400 on a watch when I have about 7 of them is a necessary purchase :pac:

My one 'good' watch

Havent changed it from the bracelet even though I have two straps and omega deployant buckles..

Cienciano · 23-12-2019 7:19pm

Good to see all the g-shocks, hopefully santa is bringing me a new one. I had a big chunky one but sold it to get a slimmer one like the 2 above

micks_address · 23-12-2019 7:20pm

Northern how are you finding the battery on your gshock all metal?

What straps did you get? OEM ones?

19mm is a difficult size.

It’s sitting at about 50% at the minute. Hasn’t seen much daylight since I took it out of the box on Saturday.

How did santa know I wanted a slimmer g-shock?

Hopefully a few more Christmas presents appear here during the day

banie01 · 27-12-2019 1:09am

My HKED Bund homage is shipping tomorrow.
I have mine coming on a honey brown Fluco strap and I'm actually quite excited to lay hands on it.
Not quite a 7y.o at Xmas but close

It looks like a fantastic piece IMO

Northern Monkey · 27-12-2019 5:58pm

That’s lovely!

I would have loved to have got my hands on the Sinn 155 Bund that was released earlier this year.

Wibbs · 27-12-2019 6:41pm

Nice one B.

Joke is the dial on that one looks more authentic than quite a few of the so called "original" (3H) Heuers out there.

The Sinn re-issue was lovely, I missed out on it myself too.
Thirdfox gave me the heads-up on this particular model and from reading up on the v1 and V2 versions I thought I was going to be out of luck considering how rarely they come up for sale.

Luckily Ed was working on the V3 release right around the time I started looking.
It's an ST19 handwound movement and I am literally bursting with anticipation waiting for it.

His previous versions really do seem very well regarded and the photos so far look great.

I'll add some photos when I have mine in hand, aswell as an attempt at a review too

Some stunning watches in this Damasko catalogue, my next watch in in their somewhere:D

My only watch purchase over Christmas. It's ugly as sin but I wanted one with a vibrating alarm and this was cheaper than a G-Shock of which I have two (non vibrating models) so decided to opt for this. As I say, it's not a looker but it's nice and logical in operation. Plus the display is nice and large which as I'm getting that bit older I appreciate.

drunkmonkey · 02-01-2020 10:31pm

Finally pulled the plug on a diver, couldn't resit this when it popped up on the Christopher Ward site with 30% off. C60 Trident Pro 600 MK3. Very hard to get a photograph of it, I know now why it's nicknamed the light catcher. Super sparkly in the flesh.

Always Tired · 03-01-2020 6:14am

Lol think you mean pulled the trigger. Pulled the plug is when you kill or cancel something. But anyway very nice watch. The new C65s look quite good, theyve changed the logo and centred it now and they have a 5 day power reserve. But they are LE so cost 2k or something.

Sminkypinky · 03-01-2020 6:48am

My most recent purchase, the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, white dial variant.

The local dealer was having a sale, and I thought I'd get either the black or brown dial version.

Upon examining them I found the brown wasn't as legible as a field watch should be, and the aged lume on the black looked a little cheesy to me, however it seems to work better on the white dial for some reason.

I had been of the opinion that the white dial was my least favourite version, and barely gave it a glance. However, my other half was with me and kept saying it was her favourite. The dealer let me try it on for a few minutes and I realised Mrs. S might be onto something.
I went with it and it's now one of my all time favourites. I think I'll let her choose in future.

Lovely, considering one of those as a present for myself for my birthday this year. How much would one expect to part with for that or a blue one, second hand obviously? (Just a ball park, not looking for the exact amount you paid). Does there be many going on TZ?

banie01 · 03-01-2020 6:25pm

TLK1, that's a lovely watch really nice!

Creamy Goodness · 03-01-2020 7:17pm

Wore this out on NYE. Lost a bit of weight so had to get some links out. Nice feeling.

Check out the prices on Watchrecon and Chrono24 and see what used versions go for. I'd buy brand new if I were you. Cheapest brand new one on Chrono24 is €3k from a dealer in Italy. That's a great price.

I paid about 2k for mine. They’re a really lovely watch.

And you sold it for about that amount as well IIRC. Fair play for passing the savings on to someone else. That was a great price.

The cheapest I can see is €2,390 on C24 and that's for an nine year old watch. Bearing in mind that a service is €500 and all new Tudor's come with a 5 year warranty (as of this year) I'd buy new if it can be bought for around €3k.

Big thanks to Birneybau for this Vostok Amphibia. I love it! I will probably be putting it onto a nato soon, but already loving it.

Birneybau · 08-01-2020 8:40pm

Have my usual pusher/dealer Fulladapipes to thank for this

njburke · 08-01-2020 11:22pm

I like the simple elegance of it. Is it 40mm ?

39mm. Yeah, usually wear bigger watches but it is very understated

And thanks, as usual, for the embedding Wibbs.

Currently running at +3 seconds. I need to try get a picture of the tritium tubes glowing now that I have a much better camera on my phone.

I got a little uv light, all the lume glows right up under it, might be handy for photos.

Same

UV light and night mode on the camera really make lume shots pop.
