    Well wear unkel, I hope you dive with it sometime.
    Alas my own Christmas gift is still a fedex number, I'm enjoying the anticipation.

    This morning I asked my youngest to pick a watch from the box for me to wear, he chose last years Christmas gift, the oceanus S100.

    Signum Cuda no date with the heat treated meteorite dial.


    It was advertised as a 40mm when I purchased it, they have since changed that to 38.5mm which is more accurate.

    Have lusted over the gorgeous green on this one for ages since several of you posted pictures of your Alpinists here :D

    Got this as a Christmas present for myself. It's a beauty, but it's a catch & release. Will post in the for sale thread soon...

    An Alpinist is for life, whereas a Timex is just for the weekend.

    Alpha Saphir 266 I picked up on honeymoon in Berlin 11 years ago. Not the worlds most expensive watch but due to the occasion it was bought I was a little miffed when No. 2 Son decided to play soccer with it 6 years ago.

    No watch shop around has been able to replace the glass : ( So I'm looking at buying another one online to swap the glass out of it.

    Snip ]

    Watch glass cutting in Abergavenny - fixed my wife's smashed Raymond Weil a treat (Inc replacing one of the diamonds).

    Do work for some of the watch bloggers (watch guy I think, where I got the name from).

    Looking to pick up a speedmaster. Anybody know if any of the major jewellers in the country include watches in new year sales??


  • Registered Users Posts: 635 ✭✭✭fulladapipes


    Christmas was good this year. A leather bund from Atelier de Griff in Belgium for the new Speedy, and a couple of books. The Man and his Watch book is very good; the Rolex one is effectively a reference book for every watch they've made up until recently.

    What I've mostly been wearing this week:

    537261.jpg
    Mostly. I'm such a slut. :D Though on a smaller size buzz of late.

    Tonight this one in particular:

    537262.jpg

    1914 American made Hampden. Cracking little movement in these.

    537263.jpg

    As good or better than any Swiss movements of the time. And a time when American brands were far more likely than Swiss to be innovative and on more than one level with it.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users Posts: 635 ✭✭✭fulladapipes


    What is the second one from the left Wibbs?


  • Registered Users Posts: 970 ✭✭✭somebody_else




  • Registered Users Posts: 635 ✭✭✭fulladapipes


    It does indeed. I couldn't read the logo from the photo. Thanks
