In my opinion, your first posted photo is the Benchmark.

Thanks Ronk I still have my Sub and Planet Ocean. The Sub is in my will for my grandson, it gives me great comfort he will wear it and think of his Gdad

Hi Hilly30si
I would thoroughly recommend the Tudor Black Bay, I went for the red bezel and changed the leather strap to a rubber to make it completely different from my other watches as per attached photo but I think it looks great with black, blue or red and blue GMT bezel with steel bracelet.

Well i had a weak moment & blame the rain for extending my internet time

I know its a quartz movement , that was my preference as finding the Oris BC4 auto chrono too bulky i recently sold it .
Already have a Glycine hand wound KMU & like that so when this GL1001 chrono popped up for silly money ( boxed brand new) i pressed BIN

Should be here in 10 days ( from US )

Always quite liked the Glycine Airmans, might try one of the 24 hour ones in the future. My latest arrival:

My second Hanhart

Thanks Gents, must say I do really love the early re-issues. Had the monopusher a few years now, and saw the 2 button one on eBay shortly after selling a Sinn 103 and well, needs must

The new ones are not as well proportioned, a friend bought one after wearing mine and was disappointed with the thicker case. I did see they are bringing out a 417 re-issue in stainless, that would be worth keeping an eye on!

I particularly love the bezel edging I once owned a Oris with that design, it was a Oris Big Crown Pointer

Thought I would have a change for a while so just purchased a Apple Watch 4 for me and a 3 for the wife.

Added a couple of watches to the collection, a Tudor 50s dress watch 41mm so as presence but fits nicely under the shirt cuff. Secondly always wanted to try these it’s a Ball Fireman Racer. On first inspection quality is very good ETA workhorse movement 40mm and a great quality Rubber strap

Very nice, Sir

I love my Fireman II, and as you say, the quality seems very good, with an ETA 2824-2 ticking away inside.
Your Tudor is a very low-key affair, you could wear it with pretty much anything. I've never really looked at that series as I've had my heart set on a Heritage Chrono or a North Flag (I know there's a lot of dislike for the North Flag, but I buy watches I like, not what's flavour of the month on watch forums

)

You should always buy watches you like. I chose the Tudor because it’s understated but at 40mm no shrinking violet but also thin enough to slip under a shirt cuff very easily.
