    Not in the past few months. There's still one in transit from a three watch ****ter splurge. After that arrives my plan is to stop buying in the €100-300 range till I get a 'luxury' watch, might be a Tudor, maybe not but something in that price bracket.
    No plans for SOTC photo, perhaps in the Summer.

    It’s a solid gold Rolex. The only one on the forum to my knowledge and probably the only one that there will be for many years given the price direction of these. 25k plus on full bracelet easy.

    Prob a keeper!

    I really like that sub. And I am not a sub fan. If I was to get one to actually wear that one would be top of the list.

    You need to do a bit of extra work on that left bicep to be able to lift some of your heavy hitters.

    My Datejust. Looking for a jubilee bracelet for it if anyone has one they want to shift.

    Well here it is. I've had it a few weeks now, after ordering on Christmas day. A Sinn 556I RS.

    A thing of beauty, even if I do say so myself! It really blew me away when it landed, it was exactly what I wanted. The size is perfect for my tiny wrists, and that deep black face with white indices coupled with the dash of red in the second hand. A true tool watch, easy to read and it can take a bit of rough and tumble too.

    Love it. Just felt the size a little small for my 7.3 inch wrist so returned my 556a rs. How do you find the bracelet? Chunky?

    I have to say A, and if you pardon my French, I fcuking love Sinn. And yours is a beauty. Well may you wear.

    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.

    Love the 556 - the brushed finishing is really fantastic on them. 556a next on my hit list should I choose to downsize case diameter on the 104.

    Well wear!

    Lovely watch. If only it's wasn't 50mm lug to lug.

    That handset improves the look of that watch so much in my opinion. I'm really not a fan of the Mercedes style hands that so many companies use.

    Wearing my 1915 Borgel cased Trench watch today.

    Early design to increase dust and water resistance. One piece case where the movement, dial and front screw down into the case. You can see one at the top right in this ad from the time.

    Two of my favourite things. I've had a subscription to Private Eye for a long time, ever since I studied in the UK. I find that what happens there (politically, covid, you name it) tends to happen here some 4 years, 3 months, 1 week and 2 days later. More or less.

    My best friend owns an antique/used furniture and junk shop. He has 3 or 4 cardboard shoe boxes full of old watches he doesn't really want.

    This week he sent me a padded envelope with a bunch of gold ladies watches. I like this art deco looking Benrus, 14K, winds up and still runs pretty good. Maybe just needs a little clean-up.

    I had one of these for a bit and sold it on earlier this year to one of this flock.
    But I now kinda miss it as it really is a legend of a piece.

    Watch by Steinhart, sundial by Lynch.

    "This one was made in the mid eighteenth century by Lynch of 26 Capel Street, Dublin. It is one of the few dials in Ireland with a time-scale graduated in single minutes. It also features the names of other cities from Bombay to Rio de Janeiro, indicating the moment of solar midday for them. On the right, the cities of Madrid, London, Paris, and Rotterdam can be seen adjacent to the gnomon."
