It's tempted me many times. Good value on amazon Germany @€162 delivered at the moment.

Can never decide between the black or blue versions though. I'm drawn to the blue but I really have too many watches either with blue dials or with blue on them somewhere and would like a black dialed watch. The black does seem slightly more legible. They both are on Amazon Spain regularly for €168 delivered. Tempted too though to get the version with the bracelet it does seem like a very good bracelet for the money and as I'm sure you know hard get after market. €243 on amazon again. It would make a great beater. As much as I like my G shocks I'd prefer a diver for daily wear and it's cheap enough I wouldn't worry about it getting dinged up.

I have abstained for this year despite a lot of temptation! I've nearly bought a few cheap watches but know it's money better put to something higher end. Would like a Seiko Turtle but part of me is holding out on that too thinking I should just stay saving and maybe sell a few of my cheaper watches and go for a Stowa Flieger or a higher end diver like a Longine's Hydroconqust or more likely one of the Sinns like the 104 and the 556A that tempt me.

The OEM bracelet was 80€, but really suits the watch, the blue variant didn't seem to come on the bracelet.

My brother asked me to get him a diving watch so it came down to either the bn0151 or a Seiko solar sne435. A chap here offered me a sne435 so I went with that. It had PADI on the dial, which my brother liked, he's been a loyal customer😁

I was watch kicking at the mall in Millenia, Orlando while herself was trying to melt the credit card. All the big players were there and all within a few moments walk so it was nice to check out various watches back to back.

I was thinking I'll save up for a year and then go decent again so had a look at the Tudor Black Bay which was lovely but I preferred the model below.

Thought I'd try a speedy dark side of the moon but I was more taken by the meteorite edition. Stunning on display but I just thought it didn't suit my wrist.

Next stop was Panerai and this ladies and gentlemen I believe may be the winner. Loved the colour, weight and look on teh wrist. Strap was a bit tight for me but they would insert a link. I really really liked it and about half the price of the speedy.

Mayor's must have had 30+ Grand Seikos on display. They really have some stunning models and are magnificent in the flesh. All probably a bit too dressy for a numpty like me. Anyway it was a pleasant hour or two. Staff were brilliant and happy to chat way with no pressure and again it was great to see and compare so many models one after another.

Few rubbish pics for ref.

I have not bought a watch in 2022.

I have sold one and advertised another in 2022.

Do I get a chit, or something?
