Post pics of your watches Part II

Thanks Cyrus, I was disappointed that your Zenith was just a bit too small for me - it was so much watch for the money, but I've learnt the hard way to pass instead of hoping I get used to a watch that feels the wrong size.

This is the Hirsch I had in mind

I had one on my SuperOcean Heritage also - it is definitely incredibly comfortable, just too much shininess for me.

Away camping so left my beloved Sinn at home. Brought my ocean GMT with upgraded ceramic bezel. Appreciate the orange leather won't be to everyone's taste but I love the way it pops.

Love everything about the 57 reissue except the hands.

I'd like the '57 hands on the classic speedy.

silver bezel makes the 3594 look smaller for some reason

Beautiful watches and great strap combinations, classy.

Is that the 39mm or 42mm sparrowcar?

I discovered something a little bit frustrating today about the 1861 movement in my 2001 Speedmaster 3894. There's no hacking. You can't stop the second hand moving when you pull the crown out or even by winding slightly backwards to hold the second hand in place like you could in later versions (in the current version the second hand just stops). I looked up the manual to confirm this. Means you can never get the time bang on "the pips" as the manual says.

Still a fine looking watch though.

You need more than a half link there Mick, I've seen looser blood pressure cuffs 😉

Also, well wear, that is a very nice watch.

**PS**

Forgot to ask, what's your opinion on Alex's work? I know I was delighted with the result on my Omega but, I'd hate to think I overegged it😉

Yeah I ordered a full link from our Italian friends. Should do the trick. Not sure if I'll wear it on the bracelet or stick with a strap. Nice watch and about 750 euro which for the child of the aqua terra seems reasonable.. it's quartz but I wanted that as my planet ocean is automatic and the speedy is the what it is. A kind of trilogy of sorts for me..nice that it has the Goldeneye wave dial. The polishing work is great. In fairness he asked me what I wanted and provided exactly that. I bought from a seller in England and we agreed to ship to Alex for polishing and pressure testing and sent on to my smuggler in Armagh I think it would look well on a nice brown strap as well..

New King Samurai Manta Ray landed. Very pleased with it. Dial and ceramic bezel is a very nice upgrade over my old one. Strap is very comfortable, like having the Seiko branded hardware on it but I do prefer how my Crafter Blue one fills the lugs. Might try the Seiko buckle and keeper on it.

Cyclops I can tolerate just the date only over day date. It might grow on me but there's a chance it will get chipped off! Short-sited so despite getting closer to 50 reading glasses are still a good few years away I hope!

Had a 19mm Erika's sitting around so threw it on the seamaster. It's a mm to wide but doesn't matter. I'm still trying to convince myself size doesn't matter.. it's a small watch compared to my planet ocean and speedy but I dont think too small..

For the seiko heads I thought I'd just throw this up here, hope that's OK.

This is the chap I and many modders have being using for years for most oem parts https://www.skx009.com/shop/ skx009

He has recently floated this site so it's still a work in progress. He was selling on Ali as "db" but they've tightened up on oem, hence this site. He's reliable, informed and sells actual oem only. Considerably cheaper than the AD. For instance...

Seiko turtle bracelet is 99 dollars shipped and Samuri bracelet is 109 dollars shipped.... Might be of use to some.

Some eclectic style mix there but nice!

Tbf, it captured the freckles on your arm and wrist perfectly, the watch part however, is terrible. Beautiful watch though.

I've been wearing this all week on the "modern" Omega bracelet with micro adjust. I've mentioned before that the new style bracelet's SEL doesn't fit the older style lugs. Proper 1st world issue 😉

The Mrs & I are away for a few days in Achill early next week and despite putting new shoes on my Sinn Divers? I'll probably end up with this on my wrist for the break too.

Hunter gathering for dinner

I moved from an iPhone 8 to a 13 this year. 13 lasted two months and went to a 14.

8 camera focus far better.

a beautiful watch

Any inklings as to what you might be after? Or is it just need something new-itis?

After all my humming and hawing a out watch to wear for the mini-break? Laziness won out and it's my ProMaster jp3050-55 on wrist.

Partly because I moved so little over the weekend that my Omega stopped at 8.10am today🤣 and mostly because I plan on being a vegetable as long as possible 🤣

Keeping to theme of Sinns on rubber, here's my efforts today.

In a related tangent, I came within a whisker of buying the below just now. Unfortunately someone beat me to it. I know I should be moving up the tiers rather than sideways but, I think this version of the 356 with the guilloche dial is a cracking piece. I had clicked out of the post to check my account balance and when I'd gone back in, it had sold 🤦‍♀️

I am looking upon it as money saved and telling myself that it all counts towards a Breguet XXI somewhere down the road🤔
