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.

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 🤣

I ultimately went with a 2nd hand 2020 Breitling SuperOcean 44 from Chrono24: €2800 delivered, nearly flawless condition.
I’m very happy, it’s quite understated but I can feel the quality in every part of it, especially how the bracelet feels.
Good experience buying from C24, seller cut the price based on my suggested price but didn’t reply when I asked them about shipping. Watch shipped at 05:00 Monday and delivered 11:00 Tuesday, very quick.
I’ve an iPhone 15 Pro Max but Boards seems to reduce image quality; the watch looks excellent in person, I’m unsure if this translates to this post though.
The matt green is very nice. I had considered a new SuperOcean 44 in the new style but I viewed it in two AD’s over the last fortnight and the lack of a date window combined with the ~€1200 uplift in price over the one I bought really worked against it. It’s also much more polished and flashier than the watch I bought, more bling than tool, so it wasn’t for me.
Quite a strange experience to buy a watch for that amount, close to 10x what I’ve previously paid for a watch. I am a firm believer that you (generally) get what you pay for though.

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🤔

Stuck in a roadworks traffic jam earlier, rocking it very old school(and not just the car). 😁
I love summer evenings and the stretch in them. I fooking hate winter with a vengeance. Just went out to the car and close the gates and even this late it seems there's still quite a bit of UV doing its thang. 😮🙂
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.

The watch that got me interesting in watchmaking

This again today, though I slapped a Bund style strap on it. I get the Bund hate, but feckit, I care not a jot. 😁 Tbh it's really comfortable and wears well on it.
