Post pics of your watches Part II

Longest I was in was around 20 min,one of the beach side saunas so wasn't overly hot

Its a big chunk of steel so would have noticed it on the wrist if it had reached a temp that would be of concern,its definitely gotten hotter to the touch having been left lying out in the (non Irish) sun.

Will keep the advice in mind👍,but will most likely ignore it to see if it's capable of a bit of hardship 😅

Picked this up in the past half hour from 893bet. As always a lovely and pleasant man to do business with.

He was certainly right when he said he'd bought my next watch 🤣

I have this little beauty on my wrist already and I'm quite enamoured with it.

Here's hoping it lasts 😉

You're right there Fitz, it has a very definite elegance to it. Whilst still being very legible and with that bit of a watch snob factor that's far, far above my pay grade 😁

Don’t worry. I am on the look out for something else nice. The exist plan is always part of the buying strategy!

That one you got is “a lot of watch for the money”. When you compare what 3k gets else where.

Wow, that looked very like the old 6139 auto.

Very nice.

Well wear.

How tf do you get photos to upload with the right orientation

Original picture.

Today, I shall be mostly wearing my IWC Mark XV on a nato.

Yep I have a crap watch and a nice car....🤣 I love the B7, the sound is great and still looks the part. Fond memories of watching clarkson racing the mountain climbers in one. Always a car that held its value very well.

Just got bored of the chase Covey123, Always looking for the next better watch and failing to be happy with the ones you have. I keep a couple nice watches nowe and just wear them, could go a month with the same watch on...and honestly it feels good just to resign to that

Agree on Fitz and his soft and happy landing 😁

893 knew what he was doing when he bought it and the more I look at the dial and play around with it? The more I like it. I'm away on a wee trip to Sligo today. Taking advantage of a medical appointment to have a night away with the better half 😉 I will at some stage later with 3/4 pints in me, try to take some macros of the dial. It's not machined but there is so much detail in it.

The dial has a lovely finish almost enamal(don't know if it is) The chrono hands are lumed, as is the central seconds and it's just so legible. I can't believe that on paper it's same size as Daytona. Which in the Panda variant in particular I always find hard to read quickly.

That's as good a reason as any and TBF, you've been through all the stages and flipped some really amazing pieces.

Thanks Wibbs 😁 It does indeed still have it's coil protection cover

Movement seems to be nice and clean all things considered

Here's another watch that came in the lot that needs a bit of attention

Getting into this watchmaking business, I'm starting to feel a bit like this 😁

found I was a little disappointed with my own watch when I put it back on,even having been content with it up to that moment.

This is the bit that makes us want to search for the next watch which are usually in some minute way better or at least different than what we already have.For someone like @Fitz II who has had a gold Patek and an AP Royal Oak , where do you go next after those?The vast majority of watches are inferior and at that price point if you keep going higher the watch value gets silly really.For those of us who don’t spend our days on a yacht that level of watch really is end game as there’s nothing better to experience.

I know it's a homage, but its Swiss, reliable, tough, and looks fantastic. ( I LOVE the back) At 42mm, it's comfortable. Bi-directional bezel. Bought this about 4 years ago, and it's never let me down
